Compared with the prior-year period, revenue grew 263% to $4.0 million from an increase in all product categories driven by marked improvement in the oil & gas industry and the unique capabilities of the Company’s tools and services. Sequentially, revenue was up 20% over the trailing first quarter of 2017 from higher contract services as well as an increase in other related tool revenue which includes tool maintenance and royalty fees.
Tool revenue grew to $2.5 million, up 179% over the prior-year period and 9.5% higher than the trailing first quarter. Tool sales/rental revenue was comprised primarily of tool sales, whereas in the second quarter of 2016 approximately half of this revenue was from tool rentals. The Company changed its go-to-market and business strategy in May 2016. Higher tool revenue year over year was the result of more tool sales and growing market share. The increased number of tools deployed drives higher tool maintenance and royalty fee revenue.

Contract services were $1.6 million, up 601% over the prior-year period, outpacing a 118% increase in total rig counts over the same period. When compared with the trailing first quarter, contract services revenue rose 42% while rig counts increased just 14%. Special projects for third parties drove the higher rate of growth in both instances.
Net income of $307 thousand improved $3.4 million over the prior-year period. Higher revenue, the successful strategic changes in the Company’s business model and operating leverage from higher volume led to net income growth.
Second Quarter 2017 Operational Review
| | Q2 2017 | | | Q2 2016 | | | Y/Y Change | | | Y/Y % Change | | | Q1 2017 | | | Seq. Change | | | Seq. % Change | |
Cost of revenue | | $ | 1,491 | | | $ | 1,332 | | | $ | 159 | | | | 12.0 | % | | $ | 1,180 | | | | 311 | | | | 26.4 | % |
As a percent of sales | | | 36.8 | % | | | 119.5 | % | | | | | | | | | | | 35.0 | % | | | | | | | | |
Selling, general & administrative | | $ | 1,237 | | | $ | 1,539 | | | $ | (301 | ) | | | (19.6 | )% | | $ | 1,498 | | | | (261 | ) | | | (17.4 | )% |
As a percent of sales | | | 30.6 | % | | | 138.1 | % | | | | | | | | | | | 44.5 | % | | | | | | | | |
Depreciation & amortization | | $ | 899 | | | $ | 1,200 | | | $ | (301 | ) | | | (25.1 | )% | | $ | 938 | | | | (39 | ) | | | (4.1 | )% |
Lower cost of revenue as a percentage of sales was a result of higher volume, as well as the elimination of inventory stocking points and field representatives required for the previous rental tool business model. Improved productivity also contributed to lower cost of revenue as a percentage of sales.
Selling, general and administrative expense (SG&A) was down from the prior-year period due to lower costs related to the business model change. SG&A decreased when compared with the trailing first quarter as a result of lower professional fees.
Adjusted EBITDA, or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock compensation expense and unusual items, was significantly improved to $1.5 million, or 37% of revenue. For the quarter, Adjusted EBITDA improved $2.6 million over prior-year period and $0.6 million over the trailing first quarter due to higher sales leading to positive net income.
The Company believes that when used in conjunction with measures prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, helps in the understanding of its operating performance.(1)See the attached tables for important disclosures regarding SDP’s use of adjusted EBITDA, as well as a reconciliation of net loss to adjusted EBITDA.

Revenue in the first half of 2017 nearly tripled when compared with the same period last year. Strong operating leverage from higher volume combined with cost discipline enabled the improvement in operating income and margin.
Operating income increased for the same reasons as in the quarter. Net loss for the first half of 2017 was essentially break even. Adjusted EBITDA for the six-month period was $2.4 million, a significant improvement over the prior-year period of ($1.7) million.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents was $1.3 million at June 30, 2017, down from $2.2 million at the end of 2016, but improved over $0.2 million at the end of June 2016. Cash used in operations was $0.3 million, less than the $0.9 million in the prior-year period. The higher requirement for cash was primarily related to an increase in accounts receivable. Accounts receivable were up $2.4 million over the prior year period due to the measurable increase in sales and timing of receipts.
Total debt at the end of the quarter was $13.8 million, down $2.9 million, or 17%, compared with $16.7 million at December 31, 2016.
For the first six months of calendar year 2017, the Company had capital expenditures of $141 thousand related to equipment purchases.
Outlook:
Mr. Meier added, “We are excited about our prospects for continuing growth with the many product initiatives that are in process. Specifically, we are encouraged with the progress we are making to identify quality channel partners to take our DnR to international markets; we believe that our conversations with prospects indicate a strong interest in many basins around the world. Our intent is to methodically expand our reach around the globe with select channel partners in order to retain tool maintenance and control, which is imperative for the DnR’s continued success. We are also advancing discussions with several channel partners regarding the Coiled Tubing Strider, our completions system tool.”
He concluded, “The Open Hole Strider oscillation system is in the long-cycle test phase and has been performing well, and we believe the validation of our technology in the oil field has been impressive. Looking forward, we believe that Superior Drilling Products has significantly more potential with the innovation we can bring to the industry to improve productivity and lower costs in drilling operations.”

(1)Adjusted EBITDA represents net income adjusted for income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization and other items as noted in the reconciliation table. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important supplemental measure of operating performance and uses it to assess performance and inform operating decisions. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP financial measure. The Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be used as a substitute for GAAP measures of performance, including net cash provided by operations, operating income and net income. The Company’s method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may vary substantially from the methods used by other companies and investors are cautioned not to rely unduly on it.
