HOUSTON,?Aug. 6, 2024?/PRNewswire/ --?Drilling Tools International Corp., (NASDAQ: DTI) ("DTI" or the "Company"), a global oilfield services company that designs, engineers, manufactures and provides a differentiated, rental-focused offering of tools for use in onshore and offshore drilling operations, as well as other cutting-edge solutions across the well life cycle, today announced that it has closed on its acquisition of Superior Drilling Products, Inc. ("SDP") for total consideration paid in cash and DTI stock of approximately?$32.2 million?per the merger agreement, subject to purchase price accounting adjustments. DTI also reported today its 2024 second quarter results.
Wayne Prejean, CEO of DTI, stated, "We are pleased to announce the closing of the SDP acquisition and are excited to welcome SDP's talented team to the DTI family and add SDP's world-class manufacturing expertise into our broad-reaching and expanding global sales channels. This acquisition furthers DTI's growth strategy as a premier provider of technologically differentiated solutions and services for the global oil & gas drilling industry. Directly integrating SDP's patented Drill-N-Ream? ("DNR") well bore conditioning tool into DTI's vast fleet of tools and technologies provides expanded geographic market potential, lowers our capital requirements and operating costs, and improves operational efficiencies across our portfolio of capabilities. SDP's unique offering of proprietary diamond process expertise, sophisticated manufacturing capabilities, and their recently established?Middle East?footprint will greatly benefit DTI's technology focused product and service offering on a global scale."
Prejean added, "We expect to benefit from significant synergies over the next twelve months from this acquisition and have identified more than?$4.5 million?of SG&A synergies and realizable NOL tax benefits. In addition, there are vertical and horizontal integration synergies that include approximately 60% CapEx savings on new?DNR?tools and a 45% Repair & Maintenance margin capture. I would also like to highlight that in addition to the?Vernal, Utah?SDP bit repair, manufacturing, and technology center, we gained a fully operational bit repair facility in the?UAE?and several hundred fit-for-purpose?DNR?tools on the ground in the?Middle East?which gives us fuel in the tank to serve our clients in the region. We also gained an approximately?$6.6 million?receivable from the selling party to extinguish an existing Note which will accrue to DTI's benefit, effectively reducing the overall transaction amount."
