First Quarter Highlights:
- As anticipated, revenue for the quarter declined by 2.4% from the comparative period to
$16.5 million , due to timing of certain customer purchase commitments; - Net earnings increased 85% to
$1.0 million compared to the first quarter of 2023 of$0.5 million on revenues of$16.5 million and$16.9 million , respectively; - Adjusted EBITDA1 of
$2.3 million , or 14% of revenue, compared with$2.4 million , or 14% of revenue, in 2023; - Advanced its Digital Technology Roadmap:
- Delivered fourteen (14) of McCoy's Flush
Mount Spider (FMS) during the first quarter of 2024 (Q1 2023 – 4 tools). With a growing number of tools operating in-field, operators are recognizing the benefits of McCoy's FMS, which has in turn led to more widespread adoption resulting in robust order intake. McCoy's FMS is a hydraulic rotary flush mounted spider that when fully connected (smartFMS™), handles casing while providing information on the state of the tool to the driller's display in real-time as well as the ability to integrate with McCoy Smart Casing Running Tool (smartCRT™). - Progressed in-field trials with our partnering customer in
North America for the smarTR™, McCoy's integrated casing running system. Field trials are a critical stage to full commercialization and the process continues to provide valuable data which has led to continued refinement our technology. We expect further advancements toward commercialization and look forward to reporting our progress on key milestones. - McCoy completed the design for an enhanced smartCRT™ that will address the new tool specifications introduced by National Oil Companies (NOCs) and major operators in certain key regions. With product prototyping scheduled for Q2 2024, McCoy's enhanced smartCRT™ will not only address the new contract requirements, but also provide an intelligent, connected enhancement to conventional casing running tool on the market today, offering superior safety, efficiency and simplified operating procedure, with real-time data collection and analysis capabilities.
- Delivered fourteen (14) of McCoy's Flush
- Declared a quarterly cash dividend of
$0.02 per common share payable onJuly 15, 2024 , to shareholders of record as of close of business onJune 30, 2024 .

Outlook and Forward-Looking Information
Over the near and medium term, the oil and gas market in international regions, particularly the MENA region, continues to exhibit robust fundamentals. The growth in drilling activity and the emergence of new regional players, combined with the NOC's growing commitment to safety and efficiency improvements, and technology, will open additional opportunities for our innovative products. McCoy is strategically positioned to leverage these trends, offering market leading technologies and product enhancements that address these customer priorities. Our expert technical support, coupled with a strong local presence and an extensive portfolio of Tubular Running Services (TRS) equipment, further reinforces our competitive advantage in the market.
In the North American land market, despite relatively flat to declining rig count and drilling activity, McCoy anticipates continued robust demand for our innovative FMS technology in 2024. This optimism stems from the inherent performance and safety benefits of its unique design that offers a solution to the persistent labor challenges encountered by many of our customers. Furthermore, with a growing number of tools operating in-field, operators have begun to recognize the benefits of McCoy's FMS, and have begun to require the tools use in certain operations.
As we advance through the commercialization phase of our 'Digital Technology Roadmap' initiative, we anticipate that future revenues will rely less on the cyclical nature of drilling activity, and more driven by technology adoption, demand from emerging local and regional market players, and market share expansion in new geographical areas. However, the inherent characteristics of our capital equipment product offerings as well as the rate of technology adoption, and timing of contract awards, may lead to fluctuations in order intake and revenues on a quarter-to-quarter basis. Consequently, these factors also may impact fluctuations in working capital balances due to the timing of customer shipments and billings, as observed in the first quarter of 2024. As at
As we progress through 2024, we continue to focus on our key strategic initiatives to deliver value to all of our stakeholders:
- Accelerating market adoption of new and recently developed 'smart' portfolio products;
- Taking advantage of the current market trajectory by focusing on revenue generation from key strategic customers;
- Focus on capital allocation priorities; a) investment in growth through both organic and strategic M&A opportunities where returns are favourable, and b) return excess cash to our shareholders in the form of share buy-backs and quarterly dividends.
We believe this strategy, together with our committed and agile team, McCoy's global brand recognition, intimate customer knowledge and global footprint will further advance McCoy's competitive position and generate strong returns on invested capital.
