Current report

Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services. Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased $4.0 million, or 13%, to $36.0 million from $32.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in revenue is primarily attributable to increases in revenue within rentals, plugging and abandonment, logistics, and coil tubing by $1.7 million, $1.4 million, $0.6 million, and $0.4 million, respectively.

Current report

General & Administrative. General and administrative expenses remained relatively flat; the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased $0.1 million, or 1%, to $7.1 million from $7.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Current report

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 increased $1.9 million, or 119%, to $3.5 million from $1.6 million for three months ended September 30, 2023. The lower tax rate for the period ended September 30, 2023 resulted from discreet tax benefits recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Previous report

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.

Previous report

General & Administrative. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased $0.4 million, or 5%, to $6.9 million from $7.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to decreased employee costs attributable to cost reduction activities.

Previous 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.

Reworded paragraphs (47)

Previous wording

The outlook for the majority of the Company’s service 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, reduced activity levels and typical 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.

The outlook for the majority of the Company’s service lines remains stable. Despite drilling and completion activity declines during 2023 continuing throughout the first three quarters of 2024, the Company was able to maintain consistent performance through most quarters with declines in some service lines occurring at the start of 2024 due to increased competition, reduced activity levels and typical seasonality. Activity levels have since recovered in most service lines and, going forward, we anticipate the global economy and commodity prices to provide 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 2.11 million barrels per day in 2024 and by 1.78 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 has, thus far, benefited from this consolidation and, 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.

Previous wording

The Company believes current geopolitical events will continue to have an impact on our industry. Considering the rapidly evolving events and the interplay of supply and demand within oil and gas commodities sector, numerous unknown factors could materially impact our operations. These events have already, and are likely to continue, influencing commodity prices, causing volatility that could have a material effect on our earnings, cash flows, and financial condition.

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 wording

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.

Current wording

Wireline Services. Wireline Services revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $22.9 million, or 43%, to $30.3 million from $53.2 million for the three months ended September 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 wording

Wireline Services. Wireline Services revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $70.0 million, or 44%, to $87.6 million from $157.6 million for the nine months ended September 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. Wireline pump down experienced decreases in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023 that were driven by pricing reductions as a consequence of increased competition from frac providers. These declines were offset by wireline production service revenue, which increased year over year by $3.4 million reflecting increased operational activity and an intentional management decision to pivot to production related work.

Previous wording

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 wording

Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services. Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $1.9 million, or 2%, to $91.3 million from $93.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in processing solutions and ancillary services revenue is attributable to decreases in coil tubing and snubbing of $5.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively. The Company has seen a recovery in both coil tubing and snubbing activity in the third quarter. For coil tubing, third quarter 2024 revenues of $11.2 million represented a high mark for every quarterly reporting period in the last two fiscal years. Increasing activity in other Ancillary Services lines is reflected in increases in revenue in our rentals, plugging and abandonment, and logistics service lines of $1.9 million, $1.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Our Torrent gas processing business has continued to grow resulting in revenues of $5.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, an increase of $1.2 million.
