Ranger Energy Services, Inc. Announces Q3 2017 Results

Ranger Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: “RNGR”) (“Ranger” or the “Company”) announced today its results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2017. Key events for the third quarter were:

  • The Company completed its IPO of Class A common stock on August 16, 2017, raising $85 million in gross proceeds.
  • In conjunction with the IPO, the Company closed the ESCO Acquisition, adding 49 high-spec rigs to the Ranger fleet.
  • The Company strengthened its balance sheet via the IPO.

Financial and operational highlights for the second quarter were:

  • Revenues of $41.1 million for Q3 2017, a sequential increase of 22.0% from $33.7 million in Q2 2017.
  • Net loss of $9.5 million for Q3 increased from a net loss of $6.0 million in the prior quarter largely due to non-cash interest expense from the related party debt.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 decreased to $3.0 million for Q3, from $3.4 million in Q2, principally due to adverse impacts from the ESCO acquisition integration, Permian Basin expansion and Hurricane Harvey. The Q3 net loss and adjusted EBITDA were adversely affected by:
    • A temporary estimated revenue loss of $0.7 million as the Company decided to transition six ESCO rigs out of service in order to bring the crews to the Company’s standards, as part of the integration of the ESCO acquisition,
    • An estimated revenue deferment of $0.4 million due to the impact of Hurricane Harvey on the Company’s Gulf Coast and Eagle Ford operations,
    • An estimated $0.3 million of start-up costs related to the expansion of our Permian Basin activities in wireline and well service rigs, and
    • Further delays in new rig deliveries due to Hurricane Harvey.

1 “Adjusted EBITDA” is not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Please see “Ranger Energy Services, Inc. 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:

“Ranger experienced a very dynamic third quarter. We successfully completed our IPO in mid-August followed by the closing of the ESCO Acquisition which increased our high-spec rig count by 50%. Shortly thereafter, we as many other organizations and individuals, experienced the impact of Hurricane Harvey along our Texas Gulf Coast operations. Regardless of these impactful events, our team remained focused on execution and delivering high quality services to our customers. During the quarter, we took delivery of 8 new high spec rigs, continued the expansion of our well services operations in the Permian Basin and began the startup of our new wireline completion offering. We are very excited to have additional completion activity exposure through our new wireline operations, and through the continued deployment of our high spec rigs targeting these activities. While the transitional nature of the quarter impacted our results, we believe we are very well positioned moving forward. We are progressing with our strategy of operating with a strong balance sheet and a focus on the high spec rig market servicing today’s horizontal well completion and production activities.”

Financial Results

Revenues

Revenues increased to $41.1 million in Q3 from $33.7 million in Q2. The overall increase was mainly due to the increasing number of working rigs in our Well Services segment following the ESCO Acquisition and new rig deliveries. The results by segment were as follows:

  • Well Services revenue increased 23% to $39.0 million in Q3 from $31.7 million in Q2. Rig utilization as measured by average monthly hours per rig decreased to 199 from 213. Rig utilization increased for the legacy ranger fleet by 3% offset by the lower utilization of the ESCO rig fleet. The average number of rigs increased to 99 rigs for the third quarter from 67 for the previous quarter. The Company ended the third quarter with 127 rigs of which 105 were active. The ESCO acquisition added 49 rigs to the fleet in mid-August and the Company had 8 new rigs delivered during the quarter. Other Well Service activities decreased slightly.
    • Other impacts during the quarter were:
      • Temporary loss of revenues due to the Company’s decision to take off line certain ESCO rigs to bring the crews up to Company standards with an impact of an estimated $ 0.7 million.
      • Deferral of revenue during the quarter due to Hurricane Harvey amounted to an estimated $0.4 million.
      • In addition as a result of Hurricane Harvey, a rig supplier notified us of a force majeure event further delaying rig deliveries.
  • Processing Solutions revenue increased slightly to $2.1 million from $2.0 million in Q2 mainly due to slightly increased rental rates.

Operating Loss and Net Loss

The operating loss in Q3 was $4.8 million, a decrease of $0.1 million from a loss of $4.9 million in Q2 mainly due to lower general and administrative costs mostly offset by an increase in operating costs and lower revenues as explained above. The increase in operating costs was mostly due to the ESCO Acquisition and the expansion of operations in the Permian Basin.

Net loss was $9.5 million compared to $6.0 million in Q2. The net loss increased principally due to higher non-cash interest expense from our related party debt.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA decreased to $3.0 million in Q3 from $3.4 million in Q2. The decrease was mainly due to one-off impacts to revenues and increases in operating costs as the company expanded operations in the Permian Basin as well as costs related to the ESCO acquisition.

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 September 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017, in millions:
