Expert Statements
Wayne Prejean, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DTI
“We are extremely excited about this transformative transaction”
Wayne Prejean, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DTI
“Saltire is a natural fit for DTI. Like us, Saltire rents the mission-critical downhole tools operators depend on, and it does so in the attractive international markets where we have long sought a scaled presence.”
Wayne Prejean, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DTI
“Saltire has established relationships across the North Sea, the Middle East and other key Eastern Hemisphere markets, and with limited customer overlap, Saltire nearly doubles DTI's international exposure to approximately 40% of pro forma revenue in a single step.”
Wayne Prejean, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DTI
“That kind of international scale and those established customer relationships can take many years to build organically.”
Wayne Prejean, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DTI
“We expect the combination to be accretive to Adjusted EBITDA margin and Adjusted Free Cash Flow per share in the first year following closing.”
Wayne Prejean, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DTI
“Looking ahead, we see a real opportunity to bring technologies like Mechlok, Turbocaser, Turborunner, ClearPath and D-N-R to Saltire's customers through its distribution network, and to give customers a global platform backed by greater financial strength.”
Wayne Prejean, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DTI
“The combined company is expected to generate significant Adjusted Free Cash Flow, which gives DTI a clear path to de-lever quickly.”
