Drilling Tools International Corp

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were deemed ineffective by management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. This conclusion stems from the continued presence of a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting, originally identified during the audits of the 2022 and 2023 financial statements. Despite ongoing remediation efforts and improvements made throughout 2024 and 2025, the Company has not fully addressed all prior audit findings and therefore cannot rely on its disclosure controls as of the reporting date.

The material weakness relates to ineffective monitoring activities to assess the operation of internal control over financial reporting. While progress has been made, such as implementing a control testing plan based on applicable reporting frameworks, further improvements are needed. The elements of our remediation plan can only be accomplished over time, and we can offer no assurance that these initiatives will ultimately have the intended effects.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

On March 15, 2024, we acquired Deep Casing Tools. As the acquisition date has exceeded one year, we are now required to assess internal controls over financial reporting. Additionally, on January 2, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Titan Tools. We are permitted to omit an assessment of an acquired business' internal control over financial reporting from our assessment of internal control over financial reporting for a period not to exceed one year from the date of the acquisition. Accordingly, we have excluded the internal control over financial reporting of Titan Tools from management's assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2025.
