Full year 2022 guidance unchanged from previous guidance of revenue in the range of $22 million to $25 million and Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $6 million to $8 million

Superior Drilling Products, Inc. (NYSE American: SDPI) (“SDP” or the “Company”), a designer and manufacturer of drilling tool technologies, announced today its updated third quarter 2022 expectations and reaffirmed full year 2022 guidance.

The updated expectations reflect the timing associated with the initial $3.8 million sale of a Drill-N-Ream® (“DNR”) tool fleet to Bin Zayed Petroleum for Investment Ltd. The DNR is the Company’s flagship well bore conditioning tool. As previously announced, Bin Zayed Petroleum will purchase approximately $13 million of DNRs in quarterly stages over the next year from the Company, subject to certain conditions that will be evaluated with each purchase tranche, and SDP will repair and maintain the purchased tools at an agreed repair price per tool. The initial tranche, which was confirmed with the execution of the distribution agreement, is now planned for the fourth quarter of 2022.

As a result, third quarter 2022 revenue is now expected to be approximately $4.8 million to $5.2 million and adjusted EBITDA is now expected to be approximately $1.1 million to $1.4 million reflecting an adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 25% at the mid-point of the range. Full year 2022 revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance is unchanged at $22 million to $25 million in revenue and $6 million to $8 million in adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. See the Forward Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures discussion in this release.

Troy Meier, Chairman and CEO of Superior Drilling Products, commented, "We have continued to see strong market conditions in the Middle East and the U.S. and have modified our third quarter expectations to reflect the shift in timing of our tool fleet sale to Bin Zayed from the third quarter to the fourth quarter. As a result, we are maintaining our full year guidance. We believe there is significant opportunity for the DNR internationally and look forward to working with our new international channel partner to accelerate our exposure throughout the Middle East and North African regions. Likewise, we continue to gain strength in the U.S. market as operators are focused on driving productivity and realize the power of the DNR in their drilling operations.”

SDP expects to release its third quarter fiscal 2022 financial results in mid-November 2022.

Forward Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Forward-looking adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. The Company is unable to present a quantitative reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure because such information is not available, and management cannot reliably predict the necessary components of such GAAP measures without unreasonable effort largely because forecasting or predicting our future operating results is subject to many factors out of our control or not readily predictable. In addition, the Company believes that such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company’s fiscal 2022 and future financial results. This non-GAAP financial measure is a preliminary estimate and is subject to risks and uncertainties, including, among others, changes in connection with purchase accounting, quarter-end and year-end adjustments. Any variation between the Company’s actual results and preliminary financial data set forth in this presentation may be material.
