Greetings and welcome to the Drilling Tools International Third Quarter 2024 Earnings Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. A question-and-answer session will follow the formal presentation. If anyone should require operator assistance during the conference, please press star zero on your telephone keypad. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It's now my pleasure to introduce your host, Ken Dennard. Thank you, sir. Please go ahead. Thank you, Operator, and good morning, everyone. We appreciate you joining us for Drilling Tools International's 2024 Third Quarter conference call and webcast. With me today are Wayne Prejean, Chief Executive Officer, and David Johnson, Chief Financial Officer. Following my remarks, management will provide a review of third quarter results and the updated outlook before opening the call for your questions. There will be a replay of today's call that will be available by webcast on the company's website at drillingtools.com, and there will also be a telephonic recorded replay available until November 21st. Please note that any information reported on this call speaks only as of today, November 14th, 2024, and therefore you are advised that time-sensitive information may no longer be accurate as of the time of any replay listening or transcript reading. Also, comments on this call will contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements reflect the current views of DTI's management. However, various risks and uncertainties and contingencies could cause actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed in the statements made by management. The listener or reader is encouraged to read the annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K to understand certain of those risks, uncertainties, and contingencies. The comments today will also include certain non-GAAP financial measures included, but not limited to, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted free cash flow. We provide these non-GAAP results for informational purposes, and they should not be considered in isolation from the most directly comparable GAAP measures. A discussion of why we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors, certain limitations of using these measures, and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures can be found in our earnings release and in the filings with the SEC, and now, with that behind me, I'd like to turn the call over to Wayne Prejean, DTI's Chief Executive Officer. Wayne. Thanks, Ken, and good morning, everyone. I will provide some opening remarks and hand the call to David to go through the numbers and return with closing comments before we open it up for questions. Let's get started. As you saw yesterday, we released our third quarter results after the market. We continue to experience headwinds in the third quarter, including rig count softness in U.S. land, U.S. Gulf of Mexico, and Middle Eastern markets. However, we are pleased to have sequentially grown our revenue, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and our adjusted free cash flow from our 2024 second quarter results. Our total revenue came in at $40.1 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $11.1 million in the quarter, and adjusted free cash flow was $7.8 million, which is more adjusted free cash flow than we produced for the entire year of 2023. In a moment, David will take you through the financials in more detail and provide our revised outlook. As we have been saying since going public last year, our goal is to become the premier drilling tools rental solution provider for servicing the wellbore construction and casing installation market segments. In order to accomplish this goal, we need scale. To that end, we have been extremely active in the M&A market, acquiring three companies in 2024 and announcing a fourth, which is expected to close in the first quarter of 2025. Our first two acquisitions this year were Deep Casing and Superior Drilling Products, which we are currently integrating and operating. We have spoken about these in detail on past calls. Our latest two deals announced subsequent to the end of the third quarter include the acquisition of European Drilling Projects, or EDP for short, which we closed on October 3rd. We followed that with an announcement on October 31st that we signed a definitive agreement to acquire Titan Tools Services Ltd, a U.K.-based downhole tool rental company. Let's start with EDP, which is a global provider of next-generation stabilizers, specialty reamers, and wellbore optimization technology for the drilling industry. They bring additional cutting-edge drilling tool solutions to DTI's technology portfolio, complementing our directional tool rentals division, along with our wellbore optimization technologies such as the Drill-N-Ream. We're excited to offer these unique solutions to our customers, addressing many known wellbore construction issues faced with extended reach, horizontal, and directional drilling. By securing EDP's innovative technology, intellectual property, and key personnel, we can offer premium value-added tools in a market segment typically characterized by commoditization. EDP's Eastern Hemisphere footprint and established market penetration further complements our global expansion strategies. Moving to Titan, their strong presence in the North Sea, Europe, and Africa markets will allow us to better serve our international customers beginning in 2025. By combining our expertise in downhole drilling tools with Titan's commitment to service and support, we'll be able to offer a more comprehensive suite of solutions to the oil and gas and geothermal drilling industries worldwide. Together, all our acquisitions demonstrate our focus on international expansion and technology ownership. This is a good segue for me to provide an update on our international operations and integration processes where we have coalesced around a strategy we call One DTI. Integrating multiple businesses and operating groups is never simple. I recently spent two weeks in the Middle East region with our new team members, reviewing DTI's path to market by product line and geography. We have established a new leadership team for our Eastern Hemisphere business unit and sales efforts. This will facilitate the appropriate focus on structure and accountability in this important region. While I was in the Middle East, DTI exhibited at the annual ADIPEC convention in Abu Dhabi with great success and engagement, giving us optimism for international growth in future periods. The goal for our One DTI strategy is to firmly establish structure and accountability for our team to maximize synergies, further enhance cost savings, foster better alignment across our global organization, and focus our teams on common goals and objectives. Our approach is to adopt best practices from all parties, and we are immediately adopting a common accounting system and migrating Eastern Hemisphere operations to our Compass Asset Management platform to minimize replication and maximize accountability. These systems will be implemented in the first half of 2025. We believe collating the best-in-class systems and processes from DTI and our newly acquired businesses. We will have an organization and structure that generates excellent results for our customers, our employees, and our shareholders. We look forward to reporting on our One DTI progress in next quarter's conference call. We continue to believe there are meaningful consolidation opportunities that exist in our sector. As our customers consolidate, so must the OFS space. We have a solid M&A process and robust pipeline that will allow us to selectively and strategically consolidate numerous oilfield service product and rental tool companies that meet the criteria for our growth plan. We have a proven team and process to achieve these integration strategies. While our sequential growth this quarter was not as much as we had anticipated, we believe our best-in-class, performance-driven, technologically differentiated offerings, combined with our expanded global geographic footprint, will deliver solid growth in the coming years as energy markets recover. As we discussed in our last call, we implemented a cost reduction program for an annualized savings of $2.4 million that may be subject to additional adjustments given the softer market conditions. We continue to appropriately calibrate our operations to adjust for activity levels, and as One DTI, we will continue to look for ways to boost our operational efficiencies and pursue our growth initiatives in other markets where those opportunities are available. Looking longer term, energy demand trends remain robust. Many industry experts are forecasting that the medium to long-term natural gas demand outlook is very strong, particularly with the new LNG capacity slated to come online in 2025 and 2026, and with electricity demand rising rapidly to accommodate the anticipated growth of data centers. DTI is well positioned for this industry trend. With that, I'll turn it over to our CFO, David Johnson, for a review of our financial results and outlook. David. Thanks, Wayne, and thank you, everyone, for joining us today. In yesterday's earnings release, we provided detailed financial tables, so I'll use this time to offer further insight into specific financial metrics for the third quarter. As Wayne mentioned, we saw continued rig count softness during the third quarter that impacted near-term synergy realization, but were able to sequentially increase revenue, adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted free cash flow from the second quarter of 2024. DTI generated total consolidated revenue of $40.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. Third quarter tool rental revenue was $28.1 million, and product sales revenue totaled $12 million. Operating expenses were $35.8 million, and income from operations was $4.3 million. Adjusted net income for the third quarter was $4.6 million, which represents an adjusted diluted EPS of $0.14 per share. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA was $11.1 million, and adjusted free cash flow was $7.8 million in the third quarter, which is more than the adjusted free cash flow we generated in all of 2023. As of September 30th, 2024, we had approximately $12 million of cash and net debt of $32.1 million. Maintenance CapEx for the third quarter of 2024 was approximately 8% of total consolidated revenue. This portion of our capital investment has trended lower this year due to the decline in rig count and our customers' focus on drilling efficiencies, translating into fewer lost in hole, damaged beyond repair events. As a reminder, our maintenance capital is funded by tool recovery revenue, which keeps our rental tool fleet relevant and sustainable regardless of the trend. Now, moving on to our outlook, we are revising our 2024 ranges, which include a sequential slowdown due to anticipated holiday breaks, budget exhaustion, and capital discipline being employed by our customers in the fourth quarter. We now expect 2024 revenue to be in the range of $145-$155 million. We expect adjusted EBITDA to be within the range of $38-$43 million. Gross capital expenditures are expected to be between $20 and $22 million. Adjusted net income for the full year is expected to be between $7.7 and $9.8 million. And finally, since a majority of our CapEx was incurred in the first half of this year and we have curtailed or deferred other planned CapEx, we expect our adjusted free cash flow to range between $18 to $21 million for 2024, which remains more than double our adjusted free cash flow reported in 2023. We conservatively estimate that our Eastern Hemisphere revenue mix will grow from approximately 1% of total revenue in 2023 to 10% or more when we report full year 2024 results. Previously, the company did not disclose its operating results in segments. Starting in the fourth quarter with a footnote disclosure, we will be transitioning from one to two reporting segments: Eastern Hemisphere and Western Hemisphere, and this will be reflected in the company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31st, 2024. The new reporting structure aligns perfectly with our One DTI strategy and reflects our commitment to enhancing transparency and aligning our operations with our global growth objectives, as Wayne discussed earlier. We believe this change will enable us to better manage our business and allocate resources more effectively across different regions. That concludes my financial review and outlook section. Let me now turn it back over to Wayne to provide some summary comments before taking your questions. Thank you, David. Before we open up the lines for questions, I want to welcome EDP's talented team to the DTI organization, and we look forward to the Titan team joining us in the first quarter of 2025. As we continue to integrate Deep Casing, SDP, EDP, and we'll soon add Titan, we have greatly and purposefully expanded our geographical footprint, enhanced our technological capabilities, and positioned DTI as a leader in the evolving energy landscape. We believe One DTI will be able to provide our customers with access to an even wider array of products and services with the addition of these quality organizations. In conclusion, I would like to reemphasize that, first, we are competitive and profitable despite the soft market conditions, and we continue to be resourceful and innovative while combating pricing pressures. Second, we continue to evaluate our cost reduction program to adjust to market conditions. As we implement our One DTI strategy, we will take additional measures to adjust to lower near-term demand, and we believe we will be well positioned to come out stronger when the market recovers with the best personnel, processes, products, and performance, all aligned on best practices. Third, we are very pleased with the execution of our acquisition growth strategy, especially in light of the headwinds our industry has experienced. We believe acquiring high-quality companies at attractive multiples positions DTI to successfully participate in the next three- to five-year expected growth cycle. This elevated demand should further strengthen the need for our technology, our solutions, our products, and our services globally. And finally, there is no finish line. We believe additional thoughtful consolidation opportunities exist in oilfield services that will supplement our organic growth initiatives. I would again like to express my sincerest gratitude to every member of the DTI team for their continuous dedication to working in a safe, inspired, and productive manner. The commitment of our employees has been critical in driving our success, and I extend my heartfelt appreciation for their contributions. With that, we will now take your questions. Operator. Thank you. We'll now be conducting a question-and-answer session. If you'd like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star two if you'd like to remove your question from the queue. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys. Our first question comes from the line of Jeff Grampp with Alliance Global Partners. Please proceed with your question. Morning, guys. Was curious to start first on the tool rental side of things. Revenue was pretty flat sequentially, but gross margins improved pretty noticeably. So just wanted to dive into that a bit more. I know we were expecting some benefit from the Superior Drilling merger and some of those cost synergies. So just wanted to confirm if it was largely that, any other factors going on, and kind of expectations to continue that kind of level going forward. Thanks. Jeff, this is David. Happy to take that question. Yeah, I think you kind of hit on it. A lot of that is due to the vertical integration of our Superior Drilling Products benefiting the Drill-N-Ream product rental. So a lot of those costs flowed through and improved the margins on that side of the business from that acquisition. I think we also had a little bit better utilization on some of our pipe, and that's a pretty accretive margin when we get that utilization that benefited our margin as well. Great. Appreciate that and maybe sticking on the Superior Drilling side of things, can you guys just touch on how that integration process is going and then also some of the revenue upside synergies that you guys had talked about as well? I know particularly the Middle East was an area you guys were excited about for the potential for the Drill-N-Ream. Yeah, Jeff, this is Wayne. We've completed our integration with them in the Western Hemisphere and have each team focused on their respective responsibilities, and that's going well. In the Eastern Hemisphere, as I've mentioned in the call, spent a lot of time there in the last few weeks along with meeting with various team members trying to organize the multitude of Deep Casing and EDP projects and the SDP team to get us all focused on one execution model, and that's in motion and going well, and the rental activity is starting to get traction. We should see some of that come to fruition in the Q4 and hopefully early in 2025 as we build momentum there with the acquisition of EDP and the integration with SDP, so that's moving definitely in the right direction. And the Middle East market is, albeit, I'm not going to say soft, but not overly vibrant like it was before, with a few rigs being idled, but it is still a very vibrant market, a big opportunity for us. Great. Thanks, Wayne. If I could sneak one more in on the M&A side of things, the updated slide presentation still referenced a handful of targets that you guys are working on. So I was just hoping you could share maybe kind of a flavor in terms of size, geographic focus, and anything along those lines. And then just broadly wondering, you guys have obviously had a very active 2024 in terms of deals. I know some of them have been a little smaller, but just the overall comfort level to continue to be active on the M&A side of things. The opportunity landscape consists of everything from tuck-ins to transformational mergers that are out there that we're looking into, doing some work on, and we're going to continue to feed the pipeline of opportunities for M&A and find and pick what we think are the best types of deals that make sense for our strategy. They're still out there, and we think the valuations are definitely range-bound within the market. The arbitrage between buyers and sellers is narrowing because people understand the way the industry is trending and that this type of cooperation between buyers and sellers and mergers and consolidations makes sense more now than ever. We'll continue to pursue those opportunities, and they're out there for us. Okay. Great. Best of luck. I appreciate the time. Thank you, guys. Yeah, great. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Steve Ferazani with Sidoti & Company. Please proceed with your question. Morning, Wayne and David. I appreciate the detail on the call. I wanted to start by, let me follow up on the M&A topic. The two acquisitions you made recently, EDP, I understand the fit there with the focus on premium tools and international markets. Titan Tools seemed a little bit different beyond just getting you more international exposure. Can you help us understand how Titan Tools fits the M&A strategy? Yeah, Steve, Titan is also a nice tuck-in with our directional tool rentals platform where we've basically rented tools across the BHA support segment. In addition, they also have hole openers and other product lines that they bring and add to our portfolio. What I particularly like about them is their presence in Europe and many, many projects that initiate for West Africa and places like that, but usually originate from the Aberdeen area. There's a lot of technology incubators there. So they bring a nice geographic addition to what we already do. And we were already partnered with them somewhat as they were our distributor for many of our products in that area. So this is a nice bolt-on for us and a good cultural fit that aligns well with us with a couple of facilities that help us launch more and more of our other products. So blended all together, it gives us better infrastructure, better spread, and better portfolio offering. Great. That's helpful. Did the adjustment to guidance not a surprise? I think the latter end of earnings season, we've heard budget exhaustion fairly repeatedly through the season. I want to get your sense. Have you started to see the slowdown yet? I know frac spreads are down the last couple of weeks, but rig counts held up. Or is that more what customers are saying? And if I could add to that question, last year we saw that happen, but then there was a very slow start to 2024 before it ramped up. Would you expect a similar trend? So we kind of joke among ourselves and say, "This is the most organized downturn and stable downturn we've ever been a part of." But the reality is it's just been an adjustment of activity based on our customers' production needs. To answer your question, we see it flat. We feel a flattish market. I think the rig count's going to ebb and flow. We might see some more softness before we see some uptick, but I think our customer base has made a commitment, particularly the oil and gas companies in the U.S. and North America. And I think in international markets, many of them have said they've got a stated goal to achieve a certain production target. And whatever that takes, that's what they'll do. If they can do it for less rigs, they will. If they need more, they will. It's footage-based. It's performance-based. And all of them are operating on capital discipline. And as we follow that theme, we operate under the same thematic approach to our business, right? When we think about the amount of headwinds in U.S. land this year, and clearly it got more challenging than probably what a lot of us were thinking at the beginning of the year, you're still guiding for almost in the range of $20 million in adjusted free cash flow. What's the message there from your business model and the rental tool model? So we feel like despite the ups and downs of the market, we can always choose to run a sustainable business. And the way we do that is what I just mentioned is equivalent capital discipline to the market. We do make investments in our fleet to make it sustainable, and we are going to support our customers. But at the same time, we're mindful of making too many aspirational investments where we don't feel the market is in a position to reward you for that risk. So I think it's risk-based, capital discipline, investment in strategic materials, fleet, knowing what your customers have, and we can generate a very healthy free cash flow margin that I think is peer competitive in the marketplace. Thanks, Wayne. Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Blake McLean with Daniel Energy Partners. Please proceed with your question. Hey, good morning, guys. Hey, Blake. Good morning. Hey, one more on M&A. You talked a lot about it here. You guys have great insights. Last two deals, a bit more international bent. Are there differences in terms of what the M&A market looks like in North America versus internationally? And what would you share about that kind of opportunity set and how they differ and how the market sentiment might differ or anything like that? So to be clear, you're wondering what's the difference between the M&A market, Western Hemisphere versus Eastern Hemisphere? Yes, sir. Yes. All right. Great. There are numerous opportunities in both markets. I mean, the ones in the Eastern Hemisphere are a little bit less transparent. What I mean by that is they're spread across multiple countries, whereas in North America, you kind of have a more seamless type of business and legality of how the business operates and functions with customer basis. But there are numerous foreign companies based with most of their business in the Eastern Hemisphere that some of them U.S.-owned, some of them not, that are opportunistic for us that fit the profile of what we want to accomplish. May have a few more challenges in making those acquisitions because of the complexity of multiple countries and contracts and all of the nuances to go along with operating in those markets. But they're definitely out there with sticking power and the ability to be good, bolt-on, accretive-type deals for us. In the U.S. market, I think we kind of all know where the lane is. It's all about range-bound valuations and how we get more economies of scale. We have to be more competitive. I mean, doing acquisitions, particularly in North America, just makes us more competitive. We've got to lower our costs and deliver more value for our clients. And I think that's where the benefit comes here. So does that answer your question? Absolutely. Thank you for that, color. On the international piece, you've got different reporting going forward. Any sort of targets or aspirations that you guys might share in terms of what that revenue mix might look like over the next few years, what the growth rate might be? Anything like that you might share? One of the reasons we adjusted our segment reporting as such is to we expect that market to grow. I think we've already stated that it was 1% of our income in 2023. It'll be 10% in 2024, and we expect it to grow more significantly in the future. We'll be able to measure that year to year. That's one of the reasons we took that approach. Understood. Okay. Thank you, guys, very much for the time this morning. Thank you. This concludes our question and answer session. I'll turn the floor back to management for closing comments. All right. Thanks, everybody, for listening and attending and your interest in Drilling Tools International. We look forward to reporting in future quarters and measuring our progress. Have a great day.
