Superior Drilling Products Reports Second Quarter 2017 Preliminary Revenue Nearly Quadrupled Over Prior-Year Period; Increases 2017 Revenue Expectations

Superior Drilling Products, Inc. (NYSE MKT: SDPI) ("SDP” or the "Company”), a designer and manufacturer of drilling tool technologies, today announced preliminary unaudited revenue of approximately $3.7 million to $4.0 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017. Revenue is expected to be almost four times higher than the prior-year period and up more than 16% over the trailing first quarter of 2017. Preliminary results are subject to change pending review by the Company’s independent accountants.

"Increasing market penetration and deployment of our flagship Drill-N-Ream^® (DnR) well bore conditioning tool by oil & gas operators drove revenue growth during the quarter. We continue to see solid tool sales as we gain market share. And, as more of our Drill-N-Ream^® tools are being used in the field, we are realizing higher volumes of recurring refurbishment business,” commented Troy Meier, Chairman and CEO of Superior Drilling Products. "The volume we had in the second quarter has given us greater confidence in the outlook for 2017. As a result, we have increased our full-year revenue estimate by 20% at the midpoint.”

The Company’s domestic market channel partner for the DnR, Drilling Tools International, Inc., has exceeded its 10% market share goal for DnR’s on horizontal rigs in the U.S. and Canada. DTI is also on track to achieve its 12.5% goal by the end of 2017.

Expectations for Full-Year 2017 Revenue Improved

For the full year ended December 31, 2017, the Company increased its revenue estimate to $14 million to $16 million up from the previous estimate of $12 million to $13 million.
