Insights

Q1 revenue and cash flow softened, but 2026 growth guidance and governance transition remain intact.

DTI delivered Q1 2026 revenue of $38.0M, down from $42.9M, with a net loss of $1.5M. Tool rental remains the core at $28.9M, while product sales contributed about $9.0M. Adjusted EBITDA of $7.5M shows the underlying rental model still generates solid cash earnings.

Operating cash flow was negative $3.2M and Adjusted Free Cash Flow was a small loss, driven by working capital and $7.7M of capital expenditures. Meanwhile, net debt stood at $48.9M against cash of $2.8M, reflecting meaningful but manageable leverage for an asset‑heavy rental business.

The company reaffirmed its full‑year 2026 outlook for revenue of $155–$170M, Adjusted EBITDA of $35–$45M and Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $17–$22M. Management also noted its primary sponsor’s full share distribution and a refreshed board, emphasizing a shift to a more widely held, independent public company structure.

2026 Adjusted Free Cash Flow outlook $17–$22 million Projected full-year 2026 Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"First quarter Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $7.5 million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow financial
"Adjusted Free Cash Flow(1)(2) was a loss of $160,000"
Adjusted free cash flow is the amount of money a company generates from its operations after accounting for essential expenses and investments, like maintaining or upgrading equipment. It shows how much cash is truly available to grow the business, pay debts, or return to shareholders, helping investors see the company's financial health more clearly.
non-GAAP financial measures regulatory
"Each of the metrics are “non-GAAP financial measures” as defined in Regulation G"
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
Net Debt financial
"DTI had $2.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, and net debt of $48.9 million"
Net debt is the total amount a company owes after subtracting the cash and assets it has that can be used to pay off that debt. It shows how much debt is truly a burden, helping investors understand if a company is financially healthy or heavily borrowed. Think of it like calculating how much money you owe after using your savings to pay part of it.
Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) per share financial
"Adjusted Diluted EPS(1) for the first quarter was a loss of $0.03 per diluted share"
Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share measures a company’s profit or loss allocated to each share after removing one-time or unusual items and after assuming all potential shares (such as stock options or convertible securities) have been issued. Investors use it to gauge underlying recurring performance without temporary distortions—much like comparing a car’s typical fuel efficiency after excluding an occasional long detour—so it aids fair comparison and trend assessment.
Revolving line of credit financial
"Revolving line of credit | | | 32,500"
A revolving line of credit is a flexible borrowing arrangement that allows a person or business to access funds up to a set limit whenever needed, much like a prepaid card. As money is repaid, it becomes available to borrow again, making it a convenient way to manage cash flow or cover ongoing expenses. Investors pay attention to it because it reflects a company’s ability to access quick funds and manage financial flexibility.
Revenue $37.959 million
Net income (loss) attributable to stockholders ($1.540 million)
Adjusted EBITDA $7.527 million
Adjusted Net Income (loss) ($1.013 million)
Guidance

For full-year 2026, the company forecasts revenue of $155–$170 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $35–$45 million, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow of $17–$22 million.

Drilling Tools International Corp. Reports

2026 First Quarter Results

Completes Transition to Fully Independent, Broadly Held Public Company with Refreshed Board

 

Reaffirms 2026 Outlook

HOUSTON — May 7, 2026 — 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, 2026.

For the first quarter of 2026, DTI generated total consolidated revenue of $38.0 million. First quarter Tool Rental revenue was $28.9 million, and Product Sales revenue totaled approximately $9.0 million. Net Loss attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter was $1.5 million, or a loss of $0.04 per share. Adjusted Net Loss(1) was $1.0 million and Adjusted Diluted EPS(1) for the first quarter was a loss of $0.03 per diluted share. First quarter Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $7.5 million and Adjusted Free Cash Flow(1)(2) was a loss of $160,000. As of March 31, 2026, DTI had $2.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, and net debt of $48.9 million.

Wayne Prejean, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “Our first quarter results came in largely in-line with our expectations minus some softness in Canada due to the spring breakup arriving earlier this year. While we continue to operate in a complicated market environment, including uncertainty in the Middle East and volatile commodity prices, we are leveraging our differentiated, specialized product suite to capture international market share and preserve our leading position in downhole drilling tools worldwide. I’m also pleased that, despite a 4% year-over-year decline in global rig count, we remain confident in our ability to achieve and reaffirm our full year guidance, which constitutes growth at the midpoint when compared to our 2025 results. Our ClearPath and Drill-N-Ream product lines are gaining significant traction with international offshore operators as well as customers managing complex well configurations, enhancing our mix toward higher-margin, technology-enabled solutions to deliver improved returns for DTI.

“During the first quarter, we reached another important milestone. Our primary private equity sponsor, HHEP, completed the distribution of its remaining DTI shares to its limited partners. This materially increases our public float and trading liquidity. This distribution, together with the recent refreshment to the composition of our Board of Directors, marks a significant transition for DTI into a fully independent public company with broader ownership and a governance framework tailored to our next phase of growth.

“Looking ahead, we continue to expect activity in the first half of 2026 to remain relatively flat, but we see tangible catalysts emerging that should drive improvement later in the year. To capitalize on these opportunities, we plan to make targeted investments in select international markets to capture incremental demand and deploy our specialized technologies more efficiently into regions with complex well requirements. Near term, we expect our second quarter results to benefit from the earlier-than-expected spring break up in Canada, which should translate into an earlier post-breakup rebound. We are excited about the opportunities in front of us, both organic and inorganic, and I look forward to sharing updates on our growth plans in the coming quarters as we build on this solid foundation,” concluded Prejean.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release includes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, Net Debt, Adjusted Basic Earnings (Loss) Per Share, Adjusted Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share and Adjusted Net Income (Loss) 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 and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are 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 tax expense which is calculated by applying a 25% effective tax rate 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 Basic Earnings (Loss) and 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:
