Exhibit

BOULDER, Colo. - October 2, 2015 - Dynamic Materials Corporation (DMC) (Nasdaq: BOOM) today announced that sales for the third fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2015, are expected to be in a range of $38 million to $40 million, down 23% to 27% versus the $51.9 million reported in the third quarter of 2014. The Company previously forecasted that sales would be down 8% to 12% versus last year’s third quarter. The revision follows a significant decline in order volume during recent weeks at DynaEnergetics, the Company’s oilfield products business, as well as timing of the award and shipment of certain orders at the Company’s NobelClad business.

Third quarter gross margin is expected in a range of 25% to 27% versus the 29% reported in the third quarter last year. The Company’s prior forecast was for gross margin in a range of 27% to 29%. The decline relates to a less favorable product mix and the impact of lower sales volume on fixed overhead costs.

“Sustained low oil and gas prices have led to a significant slowdown in drilling and well completion activity, particularly in our U.S. markets,” said Kevin Longe, president and CEO. “We expect conditions in our industry will remain very challenging at least through the balance of the year. We will provide updates to our full-year 2015 guidance when we announce our third quarter financial results on October 27, 2015.”

Based in Boulder, Colorado, DMC operates in two sectors: industrial infrastructure and oilfield products and services. The industrial infrastructure sector is served by DMC’s NobelClad business, the world’s largest manufacturer of explosion-welded clad metal plates, which are used to fabricate capital equipment utilized within various process industries and other industrial sectors. The oilfield products and services sector is served by DynaEnergetics, an international developer, manufacturer and marketer of advanced explosive components and systems used to perforate oil and gas wells.
