Drilling Tools International Corp. Reports 2025 First Quarter Results
Board Authorizes a $10 Million Share Repurchase Program
HOUSTON, May 13, 2025 /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 horizontal and directional drilling operations, as well as other cutting-edge solutions across the well life cycle, today reported its results for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
DTI generated total consolidated revenue of $42.9 million in the first quarter of 2025. First quarter Tool Rental revenue was approximately $34.5 million and Product Sales revenue totaled $8.3 million. Total Operating Expenses were $39.6 million and Operating Income was $3.3 million. Net Loss for the first quarter was approximately $1.7 million and Adjusted Net Income((1)) for the quarter was $0.7 million. Diluted EPS and Adjusted Diluted EPS((1)) for the first quarter were a loss of $0.05 per share and an income of $0.02 per share, respectively. First quarter Adjusted EBITDA((1)) was $10.8 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow((1)(2)) was $5.7 million. As of March 31, 2025, DTI had approximately $2.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and net debt of $52.1 million.
Wayne Prejean, President and Chief Executive Officer of DTI, stated, "We are pleased to report strong 2025 first quarter sequential and year-over-year revenue growth and solid Adjusted EBITDA results in spite of industry headwinds. Revenue grew 7.6% sequentially and 16% over last year's first quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was essentially flat sequentially and grew nearly 18% over the same period last year.
"Looking to the near term, we have yet to experience tangible disruptions to our forecast for our rental tools or the sale of our tools," added Prejean. "However, we do see increased volatility and uncertainty in the marketplace due to the potential impacts of tariffs, recession fears that could lower demand for hydrocarbons, and OPEC+'s decision to increase production, to name a few. In anticipation of any prospective disruptions, we have implemented a new program to cut expenses by approximately $6 million this year and have contingency plans to cut more costs if necessary.
"While we cannot control global economic forces, we do believe that our input costs are fairly insulated from the increase in the costs associated with any tariff risks for three reasons: 1) DTI has a strong US manufacturing base; 2) our international footprint and diverse supply chain allows us flexibility in the face of uncertainty; and 3) should a significant reduction in rig count come, we are prepared to significantly curtail planned growth capital expenditures," said Prejean. "We remain committed to identifying cost reduction opportunities and maintaining operational agility to quickly respond to a challenging environment, now or in the future, to enhance shareholder value.
"Based on this current volatility and market uncertainty, we feel it is prudent to adjust our annual Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow guidance ranges as follows:

Board Authorizes a $10 Million Repurchase Program
Prejean added, "Our disciplined capital allocation strategy prioritizes financial strength through maintenance and organic growth capital investment, strategic acquisitions, and now a return of capital program to enhance shareholder value. We firmly believe that our common stock is undervalued and is an attractive investment opportunity within our overall capital allocation strategy."
DTI announced today that its board of directors (the "Board") recently authorized a repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase its outstanding shares of its common stock up to $10 million. The Board's decision to initiate this program reflects its confidence in the Company's long-term strategy and financial health. By repurchasing shares, DTI aims to enhance shareholder value in several ways, including optimizing its capital structure and demonstrating a commitment to returning excess capital to shareholders, providing the Company with flexibility to manage its equity base efficiently. The Board will periodically review the program and may adjust the amount and timing of repurchases based on market conditions, business outlook, and other factors relevant to the Company's financial position and strategic priorities.
Under the share repurchase program, the Company intends to repurchase shares through open-market, round lot of block transactions, in privately negotiated, off-market purchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Information regarding share repurchases will be available in the Company's periodic reports on Form 10-Q and 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as required by the applicable rules of the Exchange Act.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This release includes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Net Debt and Adjusted Net Income measures. Each of the metrics are "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined in Regulation G of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that is used by management and external users of our financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of net earnings or cash flows as determined by GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, further adjusted for (i) goodwill and/or long-lived asset impairment charges, (ii) stock-based compensation expense, (iii) restructuring charges, (iv) transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions and (v) other expenses or charges to exclude certain items that we believe are not reflective of ongoing performance of our business.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful because it allows us to supplement the GAAP measures in order to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially from company to company within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP, or as an indicator of our operating performance or liquidity. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are components of Adjusted EBITDA. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure, and we define Adjusted Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less Gross Capital Expenditures. We use Adjusted Free Cash Flow as a financial performance measure used for planning, forecasting, and evaluating our performance. We believe that Adjusted Free Cash Flow is useful to enable investors and others to perform comparisons of current and historical performance of the Company. As a performance measure, rather than a liquidity measure, the most closely comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss).
Net Debt is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure, and we define Net Debt as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. We use Net Debt to determine our outstanding debt obligations that would not be readily satisfied by our cash and cash equivalents on hand. We believe this metric is useful to analysts and investors in determining our leverage position since we have the ability to, and may decide to, use a portion of our cash and cash equivalents to reduce debt.
We define Adjusted Net Income (Loss) as consolidated net income (loss) adjusted for (i) goodwill and/or long-lived asset impairment charges, (ii) restructuring charges, (iii) transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions, (iv) income taxes expense which is calculated by applying our effective tax rate on unadjusted net income to adjusted pre-tax income, and (v) other expenses or charges to exclude certain items that we believe are not reflective of the ongoing performance of our business. We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is useful because it allows us to exclude non-recurring items in evaluating our operating performance.
We define Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) per share as the quotient of adjusted net income (loss) and diluted weighted average common shares. We believe that Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) per share provides useful information to investors because it allows us to exclude non-recurring items in evaluating our operating performance on a diluted per share basis.
This release also includes certain projections of non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliation of these items to net income include gains or losses on sale or consolidation transactions, accelerated depreciation, impairment charges, gains or losses on retirement of debt, variations in effective tax rate and fluctuations in net working capital, which are difficult to predict and estimate and are primarily dependent on future events.
The following tables present a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Net Income to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures for the periods indicated:
