Current report

High Specification Rigs. High Specification Rigs revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased $5.1 million, or 7%, to $82.7 million from $77.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The revenue increase is attributable to improved pricing and the average revenue per rig hour increasing 6% to $732 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $687 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Total rig hours were similar between periods with 113,100 hours reported for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared with 113,200 hours reported for three months ended June 30, 2023.

Current report

Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services. Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services cost of services for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $1.8 million, or 7%, to $23.7 million from $25.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased employee costs which accounted for $1.4 million due to improved labor efficiencies within service lines. As a percentage of Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services revenue, cost of services improved from 82% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 to 77% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 due to increased operational efficiencies and cost reductions.

Current report

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased $2.3 million, or 26%, to $11.0 million from $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was attributable to increased capital expenditures with shorter useful lives added during the latter half of 2023 into 2024.

Current report

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 remained flat at $2.0 million. The slightly higher tax rate for the period ended June 30, 2024 was driven by the impact of state income taxes and certain non-deductible expenses.

Current report

Net Income. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $1.4 million, or 23%, to $4.7 million from $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in net income was driven by a combination of reduced operating income from activity declines in the Wireline segment offset by increased pricing in the High Specification Rigs segment and cost reductions in Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services and Other segments. The decrease in operating income was offset by improved interest expense and the non-recurrence of the loss on debt extinguishment from 2023.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

Current report

Revenue. Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $45.7 million, or 14%, to $275.0 million from $320.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The change in revenue by segment was as follows:

Current report

High Specification Rigs. High Specification Rig revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased $7.3 million, or 5%, to $162.4 million from $155.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase in revenue included an increase in the average revenue per rig hour by 5% to $725 from $688 for the six months ended June 30, 2023, offset by a 1% decrease in total rig hours to 224,100 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from 225,700 for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Current report

Wireline Services. Wireline Services revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $47.1 million, or 45%, to $57.3 million from $104.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in wireline services revenue was attributable to reductions in the completions service line totaling $46.5 million illustrated by a 63% decrease in completed stage counts to 5,100 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 from 13,800 for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease in completion services and stage count is indicative of lower operational activity reflecting the Company’s decision to pursue only work with appropriate margins. Other Wireline service lines showed slight decreases in the year over year comparable periods due to more significant seasonality declines in 2024 and declining market conditions from the first quarter of 2023.

Current report

Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services. Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $5.9 million, or 10%, to $55.3 million from $61.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in processing solutions and ancillary services revenue is attributable to decreases in coil tubing and snubbing of $5.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Coil tubing services revenue declined in the North region due to increased competition from lower-priced units during the winter and seasonal lulls in activity during the beginning of 2024. The Company has seen a recovery in coil tubing activity beginning in the second quarter of 2024 along with increasing activity in other Ancillary Services lines. Year over year revenue declines were offset by increases in revenue in our logistics, rentals and plugging and abandonment service lines of $0.5 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Current report

High Specification Rigs. High Specification Rig cost of services for the six months ended June 30, 2024 increased $9.5 million, or 8%, to $131.6 million from $122.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in variable expenses, most significant of which is employee-related labor costs, travel, and repair and maintenance accounting for of $6.6 million, $1.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively. As a percentage of High Specification Rigs Services revenue, cost of services increased from 78% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to 81% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 driven largely by standby labor costs incurred during the first quarter of 2024.

Current report

Wireline Services. Wireline Services cost of services for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $37.7 million, or 40%, to $56.8 million from $94.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in costs from the completion services lines by approximately $41.9 million as the Company reorganized this service line to accommodate lower operation activity and focus on more profitable service lines. As a percentage of Wireline Services revenue, cost of services increased from 91% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 to 99% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 primarily due to declining operating leverage due to lower activity levels. The decrease in completion service line costs were offset by an increase in costs from the production and pump down service lines to drive expanding activity levels.

Current report

Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services. Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services cost of services for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $5.0 million, or 10%, to $45.6 million from $50.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to decreased employee labor, fuel and travel costs associated which amounted to $2.4 million, $1.0 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Current report

General & Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $2.1 million, or 13%, to $13.6 million from $15.7 million. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to lower compensation costs relative to the prior year, coupled with legal fees and transactional costs incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Current report

Interest Expense, net. Interest expense, net for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $0.7 million, or 33%, to $1.4 million from $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease to net interest expense was attributable to the decreased levels of borrowings year over year in conjunction with refinancings completed during the second quarter of 2023 resulting in lower borrowing costs.

Previous report

High Specification Rigs. High Specification Rigs revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased $2.2 million, or 3%, to $79.7 million from $77.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The revenue increase is attributable to customer and asset mix reflecting relatively consistent pricing and operating levels quarter over quarter, as the average revenue per rig hour increased 4% to $718 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from $689 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 offset by decreased total rig hours to 111,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from 112,500 for three months ended March 31, 2023. Although revenue was essentially flat, the Company experienced material downtime events during three months ended March 31, 2024 due to a safety event that occurred on a non-Ranger rig that was outside of its control as well as weather related impacts. Our 24-hour completion focused High Specification Rig work faced pressure during the three months ended March 31, 2024 resulting in rig transitions between clients with the resulting downtime impacting margins for the quarter.

Previous report

Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services. Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services cost of services for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $3.2 million, or 13%, to $21.9 million from $25.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased employee and fuel costs which accounted for $1.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively driven by lower operational activity in our coil tubing and snubbing services. As a percentage of Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services revenue, cost of services increased from 83% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 to 90% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily due to lower activity levels related to increased competition and seasonal lulls.

Previous report

Reworded paragraphs (32)

Previous wording

The outlook for the majority of the Company’s business lines remains stable. Despite drilling and completion activity declines during 2023, the Company was able to maintain consistent performance through most quarters with declines in some service line occurring at the start of 2024 due to increased competition and seasonality. Activity levels have since recovered in most service lines and, going forward, we anticipate the global economy and, commodity prices as a consequence, will show continued stability providing a constructive demand backdrop for our services. OPEC+ production cuts have continued and are expected to keep commodity prices at a stable level through the remainder of 2024. Furthermore, both EIA and OPEC+ are projecting for global oil inventories to decline due to flat production and increasing oil consumption in 2024. OPEC+ is projecting oil demand to rise by 2.25 million barrels per day in 2024 and by 1.85 million barrels per day in 2025, driving continued investment and growth in the sector. Consolidation occurring at the E&P operator level within the energy industry is expected to impact U.S. onshore activity levels although the full extent of this impact is not yet known. The Company does expect that short to medium term activity will be varied from this consolidation but, over the long-term, the Company expects favorable preference from these larger organizations where the well-established processes and systems of Ranger are more valued.

Wireline Services. Wireline Services revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $17.1 million, or 34%, to $32.8 million from $49.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decreased revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease in completion services revenue of $15.8 million where there was a 47% decrease in completed stage counts to 3,400 for the three months ended March 31, 2024 from 6,400 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease in completion services and stage count is indicative of lower operational activity reflecting the Company’s decision to pursue only work with appropriate margins and was due to both the Company's decision to close the completions service line in the South region, as part of a shift in activity from completions work to production, and additional competitive dynamics entering the North region during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Pump down services revenue decreased $0.3 million and production services decreased $1.0 million due to lower seasonal demand than during the prior year quarter. The Company has made a series of adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to the fixed costs associated with Wireline Services lines to improve margins on a go-forward basis.

Current wording

Wireline Services. Wireline Services revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $30.0 million, or 55%, to $24.5 million from $54.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decreased revenue was primarily attributable to a decrease in completion services revenue of $30.7 million where there was a 77% decrease in completed stage counts to 1,700 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from 7,400 for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This decrease in completion services revenue and stage count is indicative of lower operational activity reflecting the Company’s decision to pursue only work with appropriate margins in the North region and the Company's decision to close the completions service line in the South region. Wireline production services and pump down revenue increased year over year by a net of $0.8 million reflecting increased operational activity offset by market pricing pressure.

Previous wording

Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services. Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 decreased $5.7 million, or 19%, to $24.4 million from $30.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to decreased activity in our coil tubing service lines and snubbing services, which amounted to decreased revenue of $4.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Coil tubing services revenue declined in the North region due to increased competition from lower-priced units during the winter and seasonal lulls in activity. The Company has seen a recovery in coil tubing activity beginning in April 2024 along with increasing activity in other Ancillary Services lines.

Current wording

Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services. Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $0.2 million, or 1%, to $30.9 million from $31.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in revenue is primarily attributable to decreased activity in our coil tubing service lines and snubbing services, which amounted to decreased revenue of $0.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Coil tubing services revenue declined in the North region due to increased competition from lower-priced units early in the quarter resulting in reduced activity levels. The Company has seen a recovery in coil tubing activity in recent months. These revenue declines were offset by increases in revenue within logistics, rentals, and plugging and abandonment by $0.6 million, $0.3 million, and $0.3 million, respectively.
