Current report
Despite drilling and completion activity declines during 2024, the Company was able to maintain relatively consistent performance in most service lines and this trend has continued through the first quarter of 2025. Our Wireline segment continues to face weakness in demand as completions activity declines and competition increases as a result of these reduced activity levels. Typical seasonality and weather impacts from the first quarter are expected to abate as temperatures across the basins in which we operate increase and longer days result in a greater number of workable hours for our equipment and crews.
Current report
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. Our work with larger operators also benefits our business because their long-term production plans are less likely to include shut-in plans for wells when compared to smaller swing operators when short-term supply shocks and market price declines occur. To date, we have not seen a significant change in work plans with our largest customers on U.S. land; however, crude pricing below $60 per barrel could trigger activity reductions across the U.S. upstream complex. Our business is buoyed by the production-oriented focus of our service lines, as the least expensive barrel of crude oil coming to market domestically is most often from a previously drilled well to which we serve as a primary service provider. Furthermore, as relates to natural gas, the EIA expects U.S. natural gas demand to increase on the back of a rise in exports, serving as a potential tailwind for our assets both in gas markets where we have comparatively little exposure today and as a catalyst for tightening of asset availability given the ability of assets to work across production basins.

Previous report
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 report
High Specification Rigs. High Specification Rig revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased $14.8 million, or 6%, to $249.1 million from $234.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in revenue included an increase in the average revenue per rig hour by 5% to $730 from $693 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, coupled by a corresponding 1% increase in total rig hours to 341,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 338,100 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Previous report
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. The decrease in wireline services revenue was attributable to reductions in the completions service line totaling $72.6 million illustrated by a 63% decrease in completed stage counts to 7,600 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from 20,600 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 report
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.

The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease in costs from the completion services lines by approximately $64.4 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 89% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to 96% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to declining operating leverage due to lower activity levels.

Cost of Services. The primary costs associated with our cost of services are related to personnel expenses, lease costs, repairs and maintenance of our fixed assets and, additionally, as it relates to our Wireline Services segment, perforating and gun costs. A significant portion of these expenses are variable, and therefore typically managed based on industry conditions and demand for our services. Further, there is generally a correlation between our revenue generated and personnel and repairs and maintenance costs, which are dependent upon the operational activity.
