Credit Agreement

 

In February 2019, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Austin Financial Services, Inc. (“AFS”). The Credit Agreement provides a $4,300,000 credit facility, which includes a $800,000 term loan (the “Term Loan”) and a $3,500,000 line of credit (the “Line of Credit”). The Credit Agreement originally was to mature on February 20, 2023, subject to early termination pursuant to the terms of the agreement or extension as may be agreed by the parties, but it has been renewed to February 20, 2024. Cancellation is allowed with a 60-day notice. The balance of the Credit Agreement totaled approximately $1,146,000 and $814,000 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

Amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit at any time may not exceed the sum of: (a) up to 85% of accounts receivable or such lesser percentage as AFS in its sole discretion may deem appropriate if it determines that there has been a material adverse effect (less a dilution reserve as determined by AFS in its sole good faith discretion), plus (b) the lesser of (i) up to 50% of inventory or such lesser percentage as AFS in its sole discretion may deem appropriate if it determines that there has been a material adverse effect, or (ii) the inventory sublimit, minus (c) the borrowing base reserve as may be determined from time to time by AFS. As of June 30, 2023, the Company had approximately $50,000 of availability under the Line of Credit.

 

The interest rate for the Term Loan and the Line of Credit is prime plus 5.6%, which was 13.85% at June 30, 2023. Even if our borrowings under the Line of Credit are less than $1,000,000, we still pay interest as if we had borrowed $1,000,000. The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company, other than any assets owned by the Company that constitute real property (and fixtures affixed to such real property), certain excluded equipment or intellectual property. A collateral management fee is payable monthly on the used portion of the Line of Credit and Term Loan.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

 

The Credit Agreement contains various restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit or restrict the ability of the borrowers to incur additional indebtedness; incur additional liens; make dividends and other restricted payments; make investments; engage in mergers, acquisitions and dispositions; make optional prepayments of other indebtedness; engage in transactions with affiliates; and enter into restrictive agreements. The Credit Agreement does not include any financial covenants. If an event of default occurs, the lenders are entitled to accelerate the advances made thereunder and exercise rights against the collateral. Borrowing under the Line of Credit is classified as current debt as a result of the required lockbox arrangement and the subjective acceleration clause. At June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement.

 

Machinery Loans

 

The Company financed the purchase of machinery and equipment through various loans. The outstanding loans have interest rates ranging from 5.50% to 5.94%, and repayment terms of 48-60 months. The balance of the machinery loans totaled approximately $595,000 and $665,000 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

Transportation Loan

 

The Company financed the purchase of a vehicle with a loan agreement. The term of the loan is 60 months and matures in June 2024. The interest rate of the loan is 6.99%. The loan is collateralized by the vehicle.

 

Insurance Loan

 

The Company financed insurance premiums with a loan agreement. The term of the loan is 10 months and matures in March 2024. The interest rate of the loan is 7.08%. The balance of the insurance loan totaled approximately $119,000 and $157,000 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

 

8. FINANCING OBLIGATION LIABILITY

 

On December 7, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to sell land and property related to the Company’s headquarters and manufacturing facility in Vernal, Utah (the “Property”) for a purchase price of $4,448,500 (the “Sale Agreement”). Concurrent with the sale of the Property, the Company entered into a fifteen-year lease agreement (the “Lease Agreement”) to lease back the Property at an annual rate of $311,395 with payments made monthly, subject to annual rent increases of 1.5%. Under the Lease Agreement, the Company has an option to extend the term of the lease and to repurchase the Property. Due to this repurchase option, the Company was unable to account for the transfer as a sale under ASC 842, Leases, and as such, the transaction is a failed sale-leaseback that is accounted for as a financing transaction.

 

The Company received cash of $1,622,106, retired real estate debt of $2,638,773 and recorded a financing obligation liability of $4,260,879 related to the transaction. There was no gain recorded since sale accounting was precluded. The financing obligation has an implied interest rate of 6.0%. At the conclusion of the fifteen-year lease period, the financing obligation residual is estimated to be $2,188,710, which corresponds to the carrying value of the property. The Company paid $36,879 and $32,532 of principal during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 

The outstanding balance of the financing obligation liability is summarized below:

SCHEDULE OF FINANCING OBLIGATION LIABILITY

		June 30, 2023				December 31, 2022
Financing obligation for sale-leaseback transaction		$	4,075,779			$	4,112,658
Current principal portion of finance obligation			(78,842	)			(74,636	)
Non-current portion of financing obligation		$	3,996,937			$	4,038,022

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

We are subject to litigation that arises from time to time in the ordinary course of our business activities. In February 2019, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, Lafayette Division, asserting that Stabil Drill Specialties, LLC’s (“Stabil Drill”) Smoothbore Eccentric Reamer infringes the patents of Extreme Technologies, LLC (one of our subsidiaries) on our patented Drill-N-Ream well bore conditioning tool. The lawsuit was subsequently moved from Louisiana to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. Additionally, on May 20, 2019, Extreme Technologies, LLC sued Short Bit & Tool Co. and Lot William Short, Jr. (“Defendants”) in the Northern District of Texas-Dallas Division for their work manufacturing the Smoothbore Eccentric Reamer for Stabil Drill. The Dallas lawsuit is stayed pending resolution of the first-filed, Houston suit. On October 1, 2020, Superior Energy Services, Stabil Drill’s parent company, filed for bankruptcy, which resulted in a brief, automatic stay of the litigation. Superior Energy Services announced on February 2, 2021, that it successfully completed its financial restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but this bankruptcy did not affect Extreme Technologies’ claims against Stabil Drill. On March 9, 2021, the Court lifted the automatic bankruptcy stay, and on May 12, 2021, the Court denied Stabil Drill’s motion for summary judgment of non-infringement. On May 23, 2022, the Court issued its Order on Claim Construction of the patents, adopting Extreme Technologies’ proffered interpretation on the disputed claim terms. On February 13, 2023, the lawsuit was reassigned to United States District Judge Drew B. Tipton and United States Magistrate Judge Peter Bray. On March 27, 2023, Judge Bray entered an amended Scheduling Order. In accordance with such amended Scheduling Order, fact discovery ended on April 14, 2023, and expert discovery is scheduled to end on or before August 31, 2023. On July 5, 2023, Judge Bray issued a Memorandum and Recommendation finding that Stabil Drill is prohibited from asserting its patent invalidity affirmative defenses. On August 2, 2023, Stabil Drill filed objections to the Court’s Order and the Court could possibly modify the Order based upon Stabil Drill’s filed objections. The parties are preparing this case for trial and expect a jury trial setting in early spring of 2024.

 

We are not currently involved in any other litigation.

12. SEGMENT REPORTING

 

We report our segment results based on our geographic areas of operations, North America and International. These segments have similarities from a product perspective, but management believes that due to operational differences, such as sales models and regulatory environments, information about the segments would be useful to readers of the financial statements.

 

	●	North America includes our PDC drill bit and specialty tool sales and contract services business in the United States and Mexico, which have been aggregated
	●	International includes our specialty tool rental business in the Middle East

 

Revenue and certain operating expenses are directly attributable to each segment.

 

Unallocated corporate costs primarily include corporate shared costs, such as payroll and compensation, professional fees, and rent, as well as costs associated with certain shared research and development activities.

 

Our operating segments are not evaluated using asset information. Prior periods have been restated to conform with the current year presentation. This change was made due to international revenue becoming more significant in the current year.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Overview

 

Superior Drilling Products, Inc. is an innovative drilling and completion tool technology company providing cost saving solutions that drive production efficiencies for the oil and natural gas drilling industry. Our headquarters and manufacturing operations are located in Vernal, Utah and we operate a repair facility in Dubai. We design, manufacture, repair and sell or rent our drilling solutions which include the patented Drill-N-Ream® well bore conditioning tool (“Drill-N-Ream tool” or “DNR”) and the patented Strider™ Drill String Oscillation System technology (“Strider technology” or “Strider”). In addition, the Company is a refurbisher of PDC (polycrystalline diamond compact) drill bits primarily for a leading oil field services company. In our state-of-the-art drill tool fabrication facility, we also design and manufacture custom products for our customers.

 

Our strategy for growth is to leverage our expertise in drill tool technology and precision machining in order to broaden our product offerings and solutions for the oil and gas industry. We believe through our patented technologies, as well as technologies under development, that we can offer the oil and gas industry the solutions it demands to improve drilling efficiencies and reduce production costs.

 

As a result of its ISO 9000 certification, the Company is qualified to bid on projects in industries outside oil and gas. We believe that with this certification, and our history of supplying high quality parts to research and development departments operating in the aerospace industry, we can work to diversify our revenue sources outside of the oil & gas industry.

 

Industry Trends and Market Factors

 

The Russia – Ukraine conflict is a global concern. The Company does not have any direct exposure to Russia or Ukraine through its operations, employee base, investments or sanctions. The Company does not receive goods or services sourced from those countries, does not anticipate any disruption in its supply chain and has no business relationships, connections to or assets in Russia, Belarus or Ukraine. No impairments to assets have been made due to the conflict. The global oil industry has been impacted by this situation, but the Company’s operations and business in the Middle East has not been disrupted to date. The increase in oil producing activities in the United States has benefitted the Company’s operations. We are unable at this time to know the full ramifications of the Russia – Ukraine conflict and its effects on our business.

 

Inflationary and/or recessionary factors relating to the oil and gas industry may directly affect the Company’s operations. The increased demand for oil and gas production has benefited the Company’s operations. The Company is not immune to the effects of inflation on its labor requirements, supply chain and costs of revenues. The Company continues to monitor these economic trends as part of its strategic forward planning.

 

The total U.S. rig count as reported by Baker Hughes as of June 30, 2023 was 674 rigs, a decrease of 76 rigs from the rig count as of June 30, 2022.

 

The Middle East market began to improve during 2022 after a slow rebound from the COVID-19 impact, and continues to improve through mid-2023. Total rig count in that region as of June 30, 2023 was 329 compared with 303 at the same time last year.

 

How We Generate our Revenue

 

We are a drilling and completion tool technology company. We generate revenue from the refurbishment, manufacturing, repair, rental and sale of drill string tools. Our manufactured products are produced in a standard manufacturing operation, even when produced to our customer’s specifications. We also earn royalty fees under certain arrangements for certain tools we sell.

 

Tool sales, rentals and other related revenue

 

Tool and Product Sales: Revenue for tool and product sales is recognized upon shipment of tools or products to the customer. Shipping and handling costs related to tool and product sales are recorded gross as a component of both the sales price and cost of the product sold.

 

 

Tool Rental: Rental revenue is recognized upon completion of the customer’s job for which the tool was rented. While the duration of the rental will vary by job and number of runs, these rentals are generally less than one month. The rental agreements are typically based on the price per run or footage drilled and do not have any minimum rental payments or term.

 

Other Related Revenue: We receive revenue from the repair of tools upon delivery of the repaired tool to the customer. We earn royalty commission revenue when our customer invoices their customer for the use of our tools.

 

Contract Services

 

Drill Bit Manufacturing and Refurbishment: We recognize revenue for our PDC drill bit services upon transfer of control, which we have determined to be upon shipment of the product. Shipping and handling costs related to refurbishing services are paid directly by the customer at the time of shipment. We also provide contract manufacturing services to customers.

 

Costs of Conducting Our Business

 

Cost of revenue is comprised of direct and indirect costs to manufacture, repair and supply our products, including labor, materials, utilities, equipment repair, lease expense related to our facilities, supplies and freight.

 

Selling, general and administrative expense is comprised of costs such as new business development, technical product support, research and development costs, compensation expense for general corporate operations including accounting, human resources, risk management, etc., information technology expenses, safety and environmental expenses, legal and professional fees and other related administrative functions.

 

Other income (expense), net is comprised primarily of interest expense and recovery of a fully reserved related party note receivable.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

 

Revenue

 

Our revenue increased approximately $827,000, or 18%. The increase was driven by an approximately $661,000, or 23%, increase in tool revenue reflecting approximately $523,000 from the expansion of our business in the Middle East. Contract services revenue increased by $166,000, or 10%, over the prior year, primarily due to higher PDC bit refurbishment demand and a tool price increase implemented in the second half of calendar year 2022.

 

Operating Costs and Expenses

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue decreased approximately $103,000, or 5%. Cost savings were realized due to a better product mix and efficiencies in manufacturing.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $564,000, or 30%. The increase was the result of increased international payroll costs with the hiring of four additional technical sales and business development personnel and increased intellectual property related legal fees.

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased approximately $53,000, or 13%. The decrease was primarily due to a portion of the intellectual property intangible balance that reached its full amortization and a decrease in depreciation expense due to assets becoming fully depreciated.

 

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

 

Revenue

 

Our revenue increased approximately $2,978,000, or 34%. The increase was driven by an approximately $2,146,000, or 38%, increase in tool revenue reflecting strong DNR tool sales of approximately $855,000 and approximately $944,000 from the expansion of our business in the Middle East. Contract services revenue increased by $832,000, or 28%, primarily due to higher PDC bit refurbishment demand and a tool price increase implemented in the second half of calendar year 2022.

 

Operating Costs and Expenses

 

Cost of Revenue

 

Cost of revenue increased approximately $368,000, or 9%. The increase was driven by higher sales volume. As a percent of revenue, costs declined 8 points to 37% of revenue due to improved overhead absorption on higher volume, a better product mix and efficiencies in manufacturing more than offsetting higher payroll costs, additional facility expenses and higher tool repair costs associated expansion of our international business.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $1,257,000, or 35%. Higher costs reflect the expansion of our Middle East operations included staffing with four additional technical sales and business development personnel as well as increased intellectual property related legal fees. Legal fees could increase further as we pursue the patent infringement lawsuit discussed in Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased approximately $138,000, or 17%. The decrease was primarily due to a portion of the intellectual property intangible balance that reached its full amortization and a decrease in depreciation expense due to assets becoming fully depreciated.

 

 

Other Income (Expenses)

 

Recovery of related party note receivable

 

Recovery of related party note receivable increased approximately $350,000, or 100%, reflecting a principal and interest payment applied to the fully reserved related party note receivable.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b). Based upon that evaluation, as of June 30, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

 

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

Inherent Limitations of the Effectiveness of Controls

 

Management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

 

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

We are subject to litigation that arises from time to time in the ordinary course of our business activities. In February 2019, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Western District of Louisiana, Lafayette Division, asserting that Stabil Drill Specialties, LLC’s (“Stabil Drill”) Smoothbore Eccentric Reamer infringes the patents of Extreme Technologies, LLC (one of our subsidiaries) on our patented Drill-N-Ream tool. The lawsuit was subsequently moved from Louisiana to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. Additionally, on May 20, 2019, Extreme Technologies, LLC sued Short Bit & Tool Co. and Lot William Short, Jr. (“Defendants”) in the Northern District of Texas-Dallas Division for their work manufacturing the Smoothbore Eccentric Reamer for Stabil Drill. The Dallas lawsuit is stayed pending resolution of the first-filed, Houston suit. On October 1, 2020, Superior Energy Services, Stabil Drill’s parent company, filed for bankruptcy, which resulted in a brief, automatic stay of the litigation. Superior Energy Services announced on February 2, 2021, that it successfully completed its financial restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but this bankruptcy did not affect Extreme Technologies’ claims against Stabil Drill. On March 9, 2021, the Court lifted the automatic bankruptcy stay, and on May 12, 2021, the Court denied Stabil Drill’s motion for summary judgment of non-infringement. On May 23, 2022, the Court issued its Order on Claim Construction of the patents, adopting Extreme Technologies’ proffered interpretation on the disputed claim terms. On February 13, 2023, the lawsuit was reassigned to United States District Judge Drew B. Tipton and United States Magistrate Judge Peter Bray. On March 27, 2023, Judge Bray entered an amended Scheduling Order. In accordance with such amended Scheduling Order, fact discovery ended on April 14, 2023, and expert discovery is scheduled to end on or before August 31, 2023. On July 5, 2023, Judge Bray issued a Memorandum and Recommendation finding that Stabil Drill is prohibited from asserting its patent invalidity affirmative defenses. On August 2, 2023, Stabil Drill filed objections to the Court’s Order and the Court could possibly modify the Order based upon Stabil Drill’s filed objections. The parties are preparing this case for trial and expect a jury trial setting in early spring of 2024. We are not currently involved in any other litigation.
