Drilling Tools International to Acquire Saltire Energy and Foxley Energy
DTI sits 27% above its 52-week low of $1.87.
Summary
Drilling Tools International has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Saltire Energy Limited and Foxley Energy Limited. The total consideration consists of £60.29M cash (~$81M) and 17,355,139 DTI shares, with sellers expected to own ~30% post-closing. The deal expands DTI's footprint in the energy services sector. This follows a challenging Q2 where revenue fell 3% to $38.1M and operating cash flow turned negative, forcing increased credit line borrowings. The acquisition could provide scale and diversification, but integration risk and financing remain key considerations given the company's tight liquidity position.
