The Company’s North America revenue related to tool sales were down, specifically as it relates to the Drill-N-Ream® (“DNR”), given the timing of orders from the Company’s North American distributor. Lower drilling rig activity impacted demand for contract services. The average U.S. rig count of 621 in the fourth quarter of 2023 was down 154 rigs, or 20%, from the prior-year period, and down 29 rigs, or 4%, sequentially.
International revenue grew 9% as the Company further advances its operations in the Middle East (“ME”) and the ME market continues to build post-pandemic. The international rig count increased from 900 rigs at the end of 2022 to 955 rigs at the end of 2023.
For the fourth quarter of 2023, North America revenue comprised approximately 85% of total revenue, with remaining sales all within the Middle East.

Revenue in North America, while up 6%, was constrained by the declining rig count and reduced tools sales in the fourth quarter. International revenue growth was 41%, demonstrating the Company’s successful execution of its international strategy, improved staffing within its ME operations, and the increasing rig counts in the ME region.
Full year SG&A expenses increased 32% to $9.6 million largely due to the Company’s international expansion. Included in the full year 2023 SG&A were $1.2 million of legal expenses due to continuing litigation for the Company’s patent infringement lawsuit. This compared with $600 thousand of similar legal expenses in the prior-year period. The Company also incurred $204 thousand in fees as part of its strategic review process in 2023.
Net income for 2023 included the $6.4 million valuation allowance release during the fourth quarter.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Cash generated by operations was $3.2 million in 2023 compared with $3.5 million in 2022. Cash at year-end was $2.7 million, up $0.5 million from the end of 2022.
Capital expenditures of $3.7 million in 2023 were largely in support of the Company’s Middle East operations, which included the DNR rental tool fleet and the new service and technology center that opened in the second quarter.
Total debt at year-end was $2.2 million.

1 Adjusted EBITDA represents net income adjusted for income taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization and other items as noted in the reconciliation table. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is an important supplemental measure of operating performance and uses it to assess performance and inform operating decisions. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP financial measure. The Company’s calculation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be used as a substitute for GAAP measures of performance, including net cash provided by operations, operating income, and net income. The Company’s method of calculating Adjusted EBITDA may vary substantially from the methods used by other companies and investors are cautioned not to rely unduly on it.
