Ranger Energy Services, Inc. Announces Q2 2017 Results

Ranger Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: “RNGR”) (“Ranger” or the “Company”) announced today its results for its second quarter ending June 30, 2017. Highlights for the second quarter were:

  • Revenues were $33.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, a sequential increase of 15.8% from $29.1 million in Q1 2017.
  • Rig utilization as measured by average monthly hours per rig was approximately 213 hours in Q2 as compared to approximately 194 in Q1.
  • Operating loss of $4.9 million for Q2 improved from a loss of $5.7 million in the prior quarter.
  • Net loss of $6.0 million for Q2 improved from a net loss of $6.2 million in the prior quarter.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased to $3.4 million for Q2, up from $1.1 million in Q1.1

In addition, subsequent to June 30, 2017:

  • The Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of Class A common stock on August 16, 2017, raising $85 million in gross proceeds. Approximately 5.9 million shares were sold at a public offering price of $14.50 per share, representing roughly 38% of the Company’s total voting power.
  • In conjunction with the IPO, the Company closed its acquisition of assets from ESCO Leasing, LLC (the “ESCO Acquisition”), adding 49 high-spec rigs to the Ranger fleet. The acquisition provides meaningful geographic diversification while adding a portfolio of high-quality clients and an experienced team.
  • The Company has a strong balance sheet post-IPO, no bank debt, seller notes in aggregate principal amount of $7 million issued as partial consideration for the ESCO Acquisition and approximately $20 million of borrowing capacity under a new $50 million bank facility.

1 Adjusted EBITDA is not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Please see “Ranger Energy Services, Inc. Predecessor Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)” at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Darron Anderson, Ranger’s CEO, commented:

“We made great progress over the past several months on the operational side of our business. The quality of our assets, service and safety performance being delivered to our customers continues to translate into increased asset utilization. We have continued to grow and expand into key basins requiring our high-spec rigs for new well completions and maintenance work. Our Adjusted EBITDA improved quarter over quarter through our increasing rig utilization as well as from bringing to market additional newly built high-spec rigs. During the quarter, we closed on our previously announced ESCO acquisition. The ESCO acquisition brings a complementary high quality well servicing fleet and strong operating team in regions where we were not operating prior – notably in the Haynesville Shale, and SCOOP and STACK plays – as well as further expanding our Permian Basin presence. We now operate a fleet of 123 high-spec rigs across all major liquid-rich basins with an additional 20 high-spec rig deliveries to come. Our IPO funds have left us with a strong balance sheet and liquidity that is allowing us to proactively support and grow our business. We are well positioned and excited about the future, as we look to capitalize on favorable horizontal well trends with our expanding fleet of purpose built high-spec rigs.”

Financial Results

Revenues

Revenues increased to $33.7 million in Q2 from $29.1 million in Q1. The overall increase was mainly due to increasing rig utilization in our Well Services segment. The results by segment were as follows:

  • Well Services revenue increased 16% to $31.7 million in Q2 from $27.3 million in Q1. Rig utilization as measured by average monthly hours per rig increased to 213 from 194. The average number of rigs was flat at 67 for the quarter. The Company ended the second quarter with 73 rigs. Other Well Service activities also increased.
  • Processing Solutions revenue increased slightly to $2.0 million from $1.8 million in Q1.

Operating Loss and Net Loss

The operating loss in Q2 was $4.9 million a decrease of $0.8 million from a loss of $5.7 million in Q1. The increase in gross margin was partially offset by higher general and administrative costs mainly due to the preparation of the IPO.

Net loss was $6.0 million compared to $6.2 million in Q1. The improved operating performance was offset by higher non-cash interest expense.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $3.4 million in Q2 from $1.1 million in Q1. The increase is mainly due to the increase in gross.

Liquidity and Balance Sheet

Operating Activities: Net cash used in operating activities was $8.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Investing Activities: Net cash used in investing activities was $10.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. Not included in these numbers were two items: i) assets worth $7.7 million for non-cash additions in the current period and ii) $7.6 million in assets purchased via capital lease financing.

Financing Activities: Net cash provided by financing activities was $19.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 comprising of $17.6 million in borrowings from related parties and $4.0 million of contributions from the Company’s previous parent, partially offset by repayment of the bank loan of $1.6 million.

Subsequent to the quarter and in conjunction with the IPO, the related party loans were converted to equity and the bank loans of $10.4 million were repaid. Following the closing of the IPO and the ESCO acquisition, the Company has seller notes in an aggregate principal amount of $7 million related to the acquisition. In addition, the Company entered into a $50 million revolving credit facility (with the current borrowing capacity at approximately $20 million).

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(UNAUDITED)

Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before interest expense, net, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, acquisition-related and severance costs, impairment of goodwill, costs incurred for IPO-related services and certain other items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance.

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 loss in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net loss determined in accordance with GAAP. 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. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our results will be unaffected by the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table presents reconciliations of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

The following table is a reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and March 31, 2017, in millions:
