Management Comments

Stuart Bodden, Ranger’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “This quarter reflects the continued strength of our core High Specification Rigs business and the growth trend we have seen in this segment over the past couple of years. Normal seasonality and weather impacts can create a sequentially reduced Q1 from the prior quarter, and our most recent quarter reminds us weather events are impactful. We experienced the rare occurrence of two polar vortex events during January and February along with windstorms that continued into March creating a greater than planned impact to our business. Given these challenges, we were proud to post materially improved EBITDA in the first quarter year over year. Across all of our business units, we continue to position ourselves as a production services company and believe this meaningfully differentiates us from the rest of the oilfield services sector.

“Our flagship High Specification Rigs business delivered yet another record revenue quarter with strong operating hours and rates, demonstrating the continued market share gains and resiliency despite the previously described weather related impacts.

“In our Ancillary segment, we had several service lines show steady activity. While our coil tubing and plugging and abandonment service lines improved from the prior year, they had more dramatic pullbacks from the fourth quarter due to the unusual weather events and general market sentiment shifts. These challenges are mostly abating with strong March results.

“Our Wireline business, which is focused in the north, saw the largest impact from the weather related pullbacks posting EBITDA losses in both January and February and for the quarter as a whole. March wireline financial results did improve to breakeven levels and April revenues indicate a more positive trajectory for the next two quarters.”

Mr. Bodden continued, “We remain positive about Ranger’s prospects and are encouraged by a stronger activity trajectory as we start the second quarter. Ranger benefits from strong relationships with the largest U.S. onshore producers, who tend to have less volatile and more consistent work programs that allow us to plan for our business more effectively. While we recognize concerns about crude price volatility and potential lower energy demand, our blue-chip customer base and production-focused business positions us well for cyclical troughs, and our balance sheet remains strong with zero debt, significant cash and greater than $100 million in liquidity.

“Ranger was built on a foundation of through-cycle returns and resiliency, and we are confident in our ability to respond and adjust to market conditions. We enter this period of uncertainty from a position of strength and will continue to take advantage of opportunities to create long-term shareholder value, whether through pursuing further M&A activity or repurchasing of our shares at attractive prices,” concluded Mr. Bodden.

CAPITAL RETURNS AND GOVERNANCE UPDATE

During the quarter, the Company did not repurchase any of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the open market. Since the share repurchase program’s inception in 2023 through the end of the first quarter of 2025, the Company has repurchased a total of 3,325,800 shares, for a total value of $34.8 million, net of tax. Today, the Board of Directors declared this quarter’s cash dividend of $0.06 per share payable on May 23, 2025 to common stockholders of record at the close of business on May 9, 2025 reinforcing our commitment to a consistent return of capital each and every quarter.

PERFORMANCE SUMMARY

For the first quarter of 2025, revenue was $135.2 million, a slight decrease from $136.9 million in the prior year period, and a decrease from the fourth quarter of $143.1 million. Quarter over quarter decreases in revenue are attributable to reduced activity in the wireline segment. Cost of services for the first quarter of 2025 was $115.4 million, or 85% of revenue, compared to $120.8 million, or 88% of revenue in the prior year period. The decrease in cost of services as a percentage of revenue from the prior year quarter was primarily attributable to service line mix contribution, operational efficiencies and cost reductions. General and administrative expenses were $7.1 million for the first quarter of 2025, relatively flat with the prior quarter and slightly increased from $6.7 million in the prior year period.

Net income totaled $0.6 million for the first quarter of 2025 compared to a net loss of $0.8 million in the prior year period and $5.8 million in the prior quarter. Fully diluted earnings per share was $0.03 for the first quarter of 2025 compared to negative $0.03 in the prior year period and $0.25 in the prior quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA of $15.5 million for the first quarter of 2025 increased $4.6 million from $10.9 million in the prior year period, and decreased $6.4 million from $21.9 million in the prior quarter. The year over year increases were driven by stronger revenue and margins in High-Specification Rigs and Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services. Quarter over quarter decreases were driven primarily by losses in the Wireline Services segment.

BUSINESS SEGMENT FINANCIAL RESULTS

High Specification Rigs

High Specification Rigs segment revenue was $87.5 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $7.8 million relative to the prior year period and an increase of $0.5 million relative to the prior quarter revenue of $87.0 million. Rig hours were up to 115,700 from 111,000 in the prior year period and slightly decreased from 115,900 in the prior quarter. Hourly rig rates increased by 3% to $756 from $718 in the prior year period largely due to the addition of incremental rental equipment to rig packages deployed. Hourly rig rates slightly increased by 1% from $751 per hour in the prior quarter, due to asset mix reflecting relatively consistent pricing levels quarter over quarter.

Operating income was $12.0 million in the first quarter of 2025, an increase of $4.2 million, or 54% compared to $7.8 million in the prior year period, and a decrease of $1.3 million, or 10% compared to $13.3 million in the prior quarter.

The increase from the prior year period was largely attributable to increased operational activity in most service lines with the largest contribution coming from the rentals service line. The decrease from the prior quarter was largely attributable to decreased operational activity in our P&A and Coil Tubing service lines.

Operating income in this segment was $3.3 million in the first quarter, up from $0.5 million in the prior year period and down from $6.0 million in the prior quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $5.6 million, up from $2.5 million in the prior year period but down from $8.0 million in the prior quarter.

The Company had capital expenditures of $7.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, compared to $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2024. Part of our investment in capital expenditures to date is around modern technological assets to improve the safety, marketability and margin of our rig fleet.

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 Free Cash Flow, 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 Free Cash Flow 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 below 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 property and equipment, and certain other non-cash 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 respective periods, in millions:

Free Cash Flow

We believe Free Cash Flow is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Company’s financial performance, as it measures our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations. Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income as a measure of our performance or net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Additionally, our definition of Free Cash Flow is limited and does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Therefore, we believe it is important to view Free Cash Flow as supplemental to our entire statement of cash flows.

The following table is a reconciliation of consolidated operating cash flows to Free Cash Flow for the respective periods, in millions:
