Financial review
Total revenues for Q3 were $4.765 million and operating expenses were $4.475 million.
Revenue in the first nine months of 2018 increased 24% when compared with the same period last year. The growth reflects higher tool revenue supported by increasing market share, U.S. drilling activity and contributions from penetration into the Middle East. Strong operating leverage from higher volume enabled the measurable improvement in operating income and margin.
Net income for the first nine months of 2018 increased 2.5 times to $1.3 million compared with
$0.5 million for the same period in the prior-year. Adjusted EBITDA (1) for the nine-month period was $4.7 million, or 32.1% of sales, compared with $4.2 million, or 35.2% of sales, for the first nine months of 2017.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Cash and cash equivalents were $4.3 million at September 30, 2018, up from $2.4 million at the end of 2017 and $3.1 million at the end of the trailing second quarter. Cash generated from operations in the quarter was $1.9 million, compared with $1.7 million in the prior-year period.
In the third quarter of 2018, the Company had capital expenditures of $52 thousand.

At September 30, 2018, SDP had a working capital deficit of approximately $1.2 million.
