Ranger Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: RNGR) (“Ranger” or the “Company”) announced today its results for its fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2018.

  • Top line growth was seen in all segments of our business driven by higher utilization, improved pricing and select asset additions.
  • The Company’s completion wireline business in the Permian Basin continued its growth ending the quarter with a total of eight trucks.
  • Ranger’s liquidity position materially strengthened with our previously announced $40 million secured debt facility.

Q2 2018 Financial Highlights

Revenues saw a sequential increase of 17% to $73.1 million, from $62.6 million in Q1 2018.

Net loss decreased $9.1 million to a net loss of $1.2 million from a net loss of $10.3 million in Q1. The reduction in net loss was driven by improved operating results and the non-recurrence of the Q1 $9.0 million goodwill impairment, partially offset by increased income tax expense.

Adjusted EBITDA1 increased 87% to $9.7 million, from $5.2 million in Q1. The Adjusted EBITDA increase was driven primarily by revenue growth and partially offset by a higher underlying costs of services.

The average hourly rates for high-spec rigs increased by 5% to approximately $513 from $487 in Q1.

Rig hours increased 4% to approximately 76,200 from 73,600 in Q1.

Rig utilization as measured by average monthly hours per rig increased to 187 hours from 184 hours in Q1.

CEO Comments

Ranger continued its momentum of improving results in the second quarter delivering an 87% sequential increase in Adjusted EBITDA. All segments of our business experienced top line growth driven by higher utilization, improved pricing and select asset additions.

Ranger’s ongoing focus on shale completion activity continues to pay dividends, driving improved results. Our High Spec Rigs again experienced increasing demand from completion related activity. Our Permian Wireline Completions business continues to operate on a 100% dedicated basis with an average unit count of seven during the quarter, up from five in the first quarter. And finally, our Processing Solutions Group experienced a 38% increase in sequential top-line growth driven by additional assets placed into service, and contract roll-overs to higher rates that are more reflective of the current commodity price environment.

During the quarter we strengthened our liquidity position with the previously announced $40 million secured debt facility.

Looking forward we remain excited about the opportunities ahead of us. As customers continue to focus on completion efficiency, we expect the service market to see ongoing segregation based on operational performance and total value. We believe our talented work-force and purpose-built asset base are delivering the value that our customers need, driving continued demand for our services and fueling future investment opportunities.

Financial Results

Revenues

During the quarter, revenues increased 17% to $73.1 million from $62.6 million in Q1. The improvement was primarily attributable to the increased activity of our wireline completions business and higher hourly rates for our high-spec rigs in the Well Services segment. The results by segment were as follows:

Well Services’ segment revenue increased 16% to $69.1 million in Q2 2018 from $59.7 million in Q1 2018, principally due to our wireline activity and hourly rig rates. Revenues in our Permian Basin wireline completions business increased sequentially by 44% with an increase in wireline unit count from five in Q1 to seven in Q2. Average hourly rig rates increased 5% to $513 on improved pricing and stronger revenue mix driven by increased completions work in select basins. Rig utilization, as measured by average monthly hours per rig, increased to 187 from 184. Total rig hours increased 4% to approximately 76,200 hours in Q2 from 73,600 in Q1. The average number of rigs in our fleet increased to 136 rigs for Q2 from 134 in Q1. During Q2, three rigs were delivered and two rigs delivered in prior periods entered service.

Processing Solutions revenue increased to $4.0 million in Q2 2018 from $2.9 million in Q1 2018 mainly due to increased rental rates.

Operating Loss and Net Loss

During the quarter, operating income increased to $1.0 million from a loss of $10.8 million in Q1 2018. In Q1 2018 the Company wrote off all of its $9.0 million of goodwill. Excluding the $9.0 million goodwill impairment, operating income improved by $2.8 million as compared to Q1 mainly due to improved gross margins.

During the quarter, the net loss improved by $9.1 million to $1.2 million from $10.3 million in Q1 2018. The improvement was due to the higher Q2 revenues and margins as discussed above.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA increased to $9.7 million in Q2 from $5.2 million in Q1 2018. The improvement was largely due to increased revenues from our wireline activity higher average hourly rates for high spec rigs, increased margins in other lines of business and a reduction in general and administrative costs.

Liquidity

At the end of Q2 Ranger had $10.5 million of cash which compares to $1.1 million at the end of the Q1 2018. Also we had an outstanding draw on our revolving credit facility of $15.0 million leaving $16.7 million of capacity on a quarter end borrowing base of $31.7 million.

On June 22, 2018, we entered into a Financing Agreement in an amount of up to $40 million with an initial draw of $22 million. This incremental liquidity allows us the flexibility to add capital equipment as market opportunities arise.

Capital Expenditures

Total capital expenditures during the quarter were $22 million. Of the total amount, $11 million was related to service rigs including the purchase of three new high-spec rigs along with make-ready costs for those and previously delivered rigs along with associated ancillary equipment. The total amount also includes $5 million that was wireline related and included the purchase of two new wireline units and pump-down pumps. The majority of the balance was non-cash items associated with truck leases.

RANGER ENERGY SERVICES, INC.
SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)

Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, acquisition-related and severance costs, impairment of goodwill, gain or loss on sale of assets 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, 2018 and March 31, 2018, in millions:
