VERNAL, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
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 $3.3 million to $3.4 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017. Revenue is expected to be more than double the prior-year period and increase more than 40% from the trailing fourth quarter of 2016. Preliminary results are subject to change pending review by the Company’s independent accountants.
"Strong revenue growth during the quarter was driven by both Tool Revenue and Contract Services as we continued to gain greater share of the market and the U.S. rig count has sustained its expansion. Importantly, we expect to see improved operating leverage given the increased volume,” commented Troy Meier, Chairman and CEO of Superior Drilling Products. “We are optimistic about 2017 and believe we are well positioned to further capitalize on favorable market conditions with our innovative solutions.”
The Company will release its complete first quarter 2017 financial results before the opening of financial markets on Friday, May 12, 2017.
