CEO Comments

Stuart Bodden, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, noted “Ranger delivered another quarter of strong performance, with all three of our business segments showing increased revenue and expanded margins during the quarter. On a consolidated basis, revenue increased 15% quarter over quarter, while Adjusted EBITDA grew 69%. Adjusted EBITDA margins exceeded 17% achieving our stated goal of a 15% margin run rate by year end. Our strong performance is the direct result of the hard work of our teams and our continued focus on customer service and disciplined execution. After a year of integration efforts, our leadership is aligning behind our shared objectives and continuing to find incremental efficiencies and opportunities. All of our acquisitions executed last year are now delivering strong returns demonstrating the value of our consolidation strategy. In consideration of our outstanding Q3 performance, we now expect revenue to range between $615 and $620 million for the full year with Adjusted EBITDA margins near the top end of prior guidance of 13%.

Mr. Bodden continued, “We have high standards for Ranger and are continuing to raise our expectations for the company. We have performed well, matured as an organization and improved our financial health on the back of the acquisitions completed during 2021, with teams that believe we can and will take advantage of additional opportunities to improve further. The best illustration of outstanding performance is acknowledgment from a customer and we are proud that this quarter one of our crews received “Rig of the Quarter” from Pioneer Natural Resources in the Permian region. We are proud of this rig crew and local management for operating with the excellence that earned them this recognition.

“As we look to the future, we understand our shareholders expect the business to continue its strong performance and pursue opportunities to maximize the long-term value of the Company. This quarter, Management and the Board have revisited our strategic priorities, which first and foremost, includes ensuring the Company has a resilient balance sheet that can withstand virtually any storm. The other strategic priority is growth, whether organic or inorganic, which is important for a company of our size operating in a fragmented sector. Our financial results have demonstrated our ability to successfully integrate companies and be an effective consolidator, and we believe there is a need for further consolidation within our existing and adjacent product lines. Going forward, we will continue to evaluate these priorities in keeping with our goal to maximize shareholder value.”

Consolidated Company Results

Company revenue increased to $177.0 million in the third quarter of 2022, up from $153.6 million in the second quarter and up from $81.7 million in the third quarter of the prior year. Asset utilization and pricing increases both contributed to the improved revenue across segments.

Operating expense for the third quarter totaled $159.0 million as compared to $155.8 million for the prior quarter. The increase in operating costs were largely a result of an increase in operating activity for the quarter.

The Company is reporting a net income of $13.6 million, an increase of $14.0 million, for the third quarter compared to a $0.4 million loss in the second quarter of the year. The increase is attributable to increased profit margins across all of the reporting segments.

General and administrative costs were $11.0 million for the third quarter, a decrease of $1.2 million from $12.2 million during the second quarter. The decrease was predominately from less integration, severance, and legal costs as compared to the prior quarter.

Adjustments to EBITDA at a consolidated level were affected by several non-cash items this quarter that included asset sale impacts, bargain purchase gain and severance and reorganization costs.

Our key financial focus in the coming quarters will be on making incremental improvements to operating efficiency to facilitate additional margin expansion and improve cash flows that will be deployed toward paying down our debt. Current internal projections suggest the fourth quarter of the year will bring about seasonality leading to moderate declines in financial performance that is likely to continue into the first quarter. We anticipate a meaningful pickup in activity again as we exit the first quarter of 2023. The Company is using the second half of 2022 as a 2023 budget baseline and does believe that there are additional opportunities to grow from these levels. Budgeting discussions have been initiated and the Company will provide further guidance when year end results are reported.

Business Segment Financial Results

High Specification Rigs

High Specification Rigs segment revenue increased by $3.7 million to $79.7 million in the third quarter from $76.0 million in the second quarter. Rig hours increased to 123,000 hours in the third quarter from 119,900 hours in the second quarter of the year. The increase in rig hours was coupled with an increase of $16, or 3%, in the hourly average rig rate to $648 in the third quarter from $632 in the second quarter, driving an overall revenue increase of 5%.

Operating income increased by $4.6 million to $10.7 million in the third quarter from $6.1 million in the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased 20%, or $2.8 million, to $17.0 million in the third quarter from $14.2 million in the second quarter. The increase in operating income and Adjusted EBITDA was largely the result of the increases in profit margins during the quarter due to declining operating expenses as compared to the second quarter.

Wireline Services

Wireline Services segment revenue increased to $60.6 million, up $11.1 million, or 22% in the third quarter from $49.5 million in the second quarter. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in activity, as demonstrated by an increase in 1,200 completed stages from 8,000 in the second quarter to 9,200 in the third quarter.

Operating income increased to $8.6 million, up $7.1 million, or over 400% in the third quarter, up from $1.5 million in the second quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased $7.1 million to $11.4 million in the third quarter, up from $4.3 million in the second quarter. The increase in operating income and Adjusted EBITDA was driven by both increased activity for all Wireline Services and expanding profit margins, attributable to several efforts implemented earlier in the year. We believe we will continue to see further improvements in this segment during 2023.

Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services

Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services segment revenue increased by 30%, or $8.6 million, to $36.7 million in the third quarter from $28.1 million in the second quarter. The increase in revenue was attributable to the various lines of business including coil tubing, rentals and fishing and plug and abandonment services, which continued to show meaningful growth and margin expansion this quarter.

Operating income increased $4.1 million to $9.2 million in the third quarter, up from $5.1 million in the second quarter of the year. Adjusted EBITDA increased 106%, or $5.4 million, to $10.5 million in the third quarter, as compared to $5.1 million in the second quarter of the year. The increase in operating income and Adjusted EBITDA was driven by increased margins on improvements in revenue.

Balance Sheet Summary

We ended the third quarter with $35.7 million of liquidity, consisting of $30.5 million of capacity on our revolving credit facility and $5.2 million of cash.

Our aggregate net debt at the end of the third quarter was $57.5 million, a decrease of $13.2 million, as compared to $70.7 million at the end of the second quarter. The decrease is attributable to additional payments on our revolving credit facility, coupled with the extinguishment of Term Loan B and payments made to term debt with proceeds from asset sales.

Our net debt includes certain financing arrangements which we adjust for comparability. When looking at aggregate adjusted net debt⁽¹⁾, we ended the third quarter at $45.2 million, a decrease of $13.1 million, as compared to $58.3 million at the end of the second quarter. Of our total debt balance, $18.0 million is term debt.

We had an outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility of $24.9 million at the end of the third quarter compared to $33.9 million at the end of the second quarter.

The Company continues to anticipate capital expenditures of approximately $15.0 million for the full year of 2022.

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(UNAUDITED)

Note Regarding Non‑GAAP Financial Measure

The Company utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes to be insightful in understanding the Company’s financial results. These financial measures, which include Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Debt, should not be construed as being more important than, or as an alternative for, comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Detailed reconciliations of these Non-GAAP financial measures to comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures have been included below and are available in the Investor Relations sections of our website at www.rangerenergy.com. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Debt should not be construed as an indication that our results will be unaffected by the items excluded from the reconciliations. Our computations of these Non-GAAP financial measures may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure because it allows for an effective evaluation of our operating performance when compared to our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net income or loss in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially within our industry depending upon accounting methods, book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company’s financial performance, such as a company’s cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in Adjusted EBITDA.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before net interest expense, income tax provision or benefit, depreciation and amortization, equity‑based compensation, acquisition-related, severance and reorganization costs, gain or loss on disposal of assets, and certain other non-cash and certain items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance.

The following tables are a reconciliation of net income or loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, in millions:

Adjusted Net Debt

We believe Net Debt and Adjusted Net Debt are useful performance measures of liquidity, financial health and provides an indication of our leverage. We define Net Debt as current and long-term debt, finance leases, other financing obligations, offset by cash and cash equivalents. We define Adjusted Net Debt as Net Debt, less a facility financing lease, to be analogous to the calculation of certain financial covenants. All debt and other obligations present the principal balances outstanding as of the respective periods.

The following tables are a reconciliation of consolidated debt and cash and cash equivalents to Net Debt and Adjusted Net Debt as of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022:
