Management Comments
Stuart Bodden, Ranger's Chief Executive Officer, commented, "This quarter's results presented Ranger with a unique set of challenges that adversely impacted multiple service lines. As mentioned in our year-end investor call, 2024 got off to a slow start. As the quarter progressed, typical weather disruptions and other events beyond our control, combined with a declining completions market that created excess capacity and increased competition, impacted our quarterly performance more than originally expected."
"To expand, the most significant factor impacting performance this quarter was pressure from the completions market pullback over the winter, from a peak of 281 frac spreads at the end of November to a trough of 234 frac spreads mid-January, representing a 17% decline over the winter months when activity is already at depressed levels. This dynamic was felt on several fronts, most significantly in our Wireline Completions and Coil Tubing service lines. In total, we estimate an impact of over $4 million during the quarter as a consequence of the completions market pullback, representing the largest adverse contributor to quarterly results."
"We have previously mentioned the challenging dynamics of the Wireline Completions business in the Permian Basin. These dynamics began to spread to our North region this quarter where the normal seasonal lull in the wireline business was exacerbated by aggressive pricing concessions made by some of our competitors. We do not believe these pricing levels are sustainable and will likely result in meaningful losses for these competitors. Ranger has made a conscious choice to avoid chasing market share in lieu of profitable returns and remains focused on expanding our production business, which is an important strategic effort for us this year."
"Our Ancillary Services segment was also negatively affected by depressed levels of activity in our Coil Tubing service line due to competitive pressures associated with the previously mentioned completions declines over the winter months. However, we have begun to see a recovery in this service line beginning in April that we expect to continue to build in May and reach normalized levels of activity by June."
Mr. Bodden continued, "In our High Specification Rigs segment, although revenues were essentially flat quarter over quarter, Ranger experienced weather-related impacts and an unexpected downtime event due to a safety-related incident on a non-Ranger rig that was outside of our control. We estimate that approximately 75 rig days were affected by this event, during which the company carried the full rig cost burden, pressuring segment margins for the quarter.
"Despite the first quarter headwinds, we were still able to generate positive free cash flow during the quarter. Importantly, we believe Ranger's fundamental value proposition remains fully intact. We continue to be encouraged by our near-term opportunities and have had several bright spots among our service lines that are worth highlighting.
- In our P&A business, customers are contracting incremental rigs to complete necessary decommissioning work and we believe Ranger is well positioned to capitalize on this trend;
- In our in-field gas processing solution service, Torrent has been receiving an increased number of inbound sales inquiries given the need for in-field power generation and to take advantage of increasing liquids prices, and we believe there is an opportunity for this business to provide greater contribution in the future; and
- In our Wireline Services segment, we completed our first geothermal project with a new customer. These projects are technically challenging, and the Ranger team was able to rise to the occasion and provide the quality service our customers expect. We are optimistic there is a new opportunity for Ranger with this type of work in the future."
Mr. Bodden concluded, "Although the year has not started in the way we planned, we view our first quarter as a perfect storm that we have weathered and emerged from as a stronger organization, with important lessons learned and efficiencies catalyzed by these challenges. Most of the challenges we faced during the first quarter were non-recurring and are now in our rear-view mirror. In March we posted strong margins with an improving revenue profile as customer activity levels picked up and our High Specification Rigs business returned to peak levels. Our view for the full year remains positive and we are confident the worst is behind us now; we will remain steadfast on ensuring we generate strong cash flows which will lead to increasing shareholder returns."
CAPITAL RETURNS UPDATE
During the quarter, Ranger repurchased 846,900 shares of stock for a total value of $8.5 million at an average price of $9.98 per share. Since the share repurchase program's inception in 2023, the Company has repurchased a total of 2,652,400 shares for a total value of $27.6 million at an average price of $10.39 per share. The Company actively monitors its share price movements at different levels and sets its purchase price targets accordingly as it executes repurchases through open market transactions and remains committed to returning at least 25% of Free Cash Flow(2) to shareholders.
On May 7, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share payable May 31, 2024 to common stockholders of record at the close of business on May 17, 2024.
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
For the first quarter of 2024, revenue was $136.9 million, a decrease from $157.5 million in the prior year period. Revenue decreases from the prior year were attributable to reduced activity in our Wireline Services and Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services segments.
Cost of services for the first quarter of 2024 was $120.8 million, or 88% of revenue, compared to $130.9 million, or 83% of revenue in the prior year period. The increase in cost of services as a percentage of revenue from the prior year quarter was primarily attributable to reduced operating activity during the quarter due to activity declines in multiple segments and weather-related issues as well as inflationary pressures on labor, rentals and repair costs with the most significant increase noted being medical costs per employee which affected cost of services by $1.8 million in the first quarter of 2024 when compared to the prior year period.
General and administrative expenses were $6.7 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $8.4 million in the prior year period and $6.8 million in the prior quarter. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to decreased employee costs and decreased legal expenses.
Net loss totaled $0.8 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to net income of $6.2 million in the prior year period and net income of $2.1 million in the prior quarter. The decrease in net income from the prior year and quarter periods is primarily attributable to increasing costs as compared to the prior year period, such as the aforementioned medical costs.
Fully diluted loss per share was $0.03 for the first quarter of 2024 compared to earnings per share of $0.25 in the prior year period and earnings per share of $0.09 in the prior quarter.
Adjusted EBITDA of $10.9 million for the first quarter of 2024 decreased $9.2 million from $20.1 million in the prior year period and decreased $7.5 million from $18.4 million in the prior quarter. The decreases were driven by reductions in activity in Wireline Services and certain Ancillary Services lines as well as inflationary pressure on costs.
In response to reductions in wireline activity levels, and to better align the business and drive further efficiencies, management has undertaken a comprehensive review of company-wide expenses and has identified approximately $4.0 million of annualized cost savings that are being removed from the organization. These reductions include a combination of operational, support personnel and other administrative costs.
2024 OUTLOOK
Ranger remains bullish on the long-term opportunities and growth potential for the Company. Our High Specification Rigs business is expected to grow modestly year over year despite continuing to hold the view that operator activity levels are likely to remain flat during 2024. Our Processing and Ancillary Services segment is still anticipated to show very modest year over year growth as well, although this will largely be dependent on customer behavior at the end of this year. Despite depressed margins and activity levels in both January and February, March results showed significant revenue and margin improvements.
Our expectation is that consolidated April results will continue to show increasing strength on the top line with resumption of our historical margin averages and this trend will continue through the summer months and into the fall. Strong conversion of EBITDA to Free Cash Flow(2) through effective capital expense management will continue to provide a strong return of capital to Ranger shareholders during the year.
BUSINESS SEGMENT FINANCIAL RESULTS
High Specification Rigs
High Specification Rigs segment revenue was $79.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, a increase of $2.2 million, or 3% relative to the prior year period, and an increase of $0.7 million relative to the prior quarter revenue of $79.0 million. Rig hours increased by 3% to 111,000 from 107,900 in the prior quarter and decreased by 1% from 112,500 in the prior year period. Hourly rig rates decreased by 2% to $718 from $733 per hour in the prior quarter, due to customer and asset mix reflecting relatively consistent pricing and operating levels quarter over quarter. Additionally, hourly rig rates increased by 4% from $689 in the prior year period. Although revenue was essentially flat, the Company experienced a material downtime event during the first quarter of 2024 due to a safety event that occurred on a non-Ranger rig that was out of our control as well as weather related downtime. Additionally, our 24-hour completion High Specification Rigs work, constituting approximately 30% of our rig activity, completed several rig transitions during the first quarter of 2024 which also negatively impacted segment margins.
Operating income was $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2024, a decrease of $4.1 million, or 34% compared to $11.9 million in the prior year period and a decrease of $2.2 million, or 22% compared to $10.0 million in the prior quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $13.6 million in the first quarter, down from $17.4 million in the prior year period and from $15.4 million in the prior quarter.
Wireline Services
Wireline Services segment revenue was $32.8 million in the first quarter of 2024, down $17.1 million, or 34% compared to $49.9 million in the prior year period and down $8.7 million, or 21% compared to $41.5 million in the prior quarter. Our Completions service line completed stage counts of 3,400, a decrease of 47% compared to 6,400 in the prior year period and a decrease of 32% compared to 5,000 for the prior quarter.
Revenue Breakdown by Service Line, in millions:
Service Line | FY 2022 Revenue | FY 2023 Revenue | Q4 2023 Revenue | Q1 2024 Revenue | ||||
Wireline Completions | $143.6 | $134.7 | $26.6 | $17.3 | ||||
Wireline Production | 36.8 | 42.2 | 9.7 | 10.4 | ||||
Wireline Pump Down | 16.6 | 22.2 | 5.2 | 5.1 | ||||
Total Wireline Segment Revenue | $197.0 | $199.1 | $41.5 | $32.8 |
The decrease in revenue and stage count from the prior year and quarter periods is indicative of lower operational activity reflecting the Company's decision to pursue only work with appropriate margins and a shift in activity from completions work to production.
Operating loss was $2.9 million in the first quarter, down $4.7 million, or 261% from operating income of $1.8 million in the prior year period and down $1.1 million, or 61%, from operating loss of $1.8 million for prior quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $0.2 million, down 95% from $4.2 million in the prior year period and down 93% from $2.8 million for the prior quarter.
The Company has made a series of adjustments in February, March and April to the fixed costs associated with Wireline Services lines to improve margins on a go forward basis.
Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services
Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services segment revenue was $24.4 million in the first quarter of 2024, down $5.7 million, or 19% from $30.1 million for the prior year period and down $6.6 million, or 21% from $31.0 million for the prior quarter. The decrease from the prior year and quarter periods was largely attributable to reductions in operational activity within select service lines. The decrease in revenue from the prior quarter was primarily attributable to coil tubing services, where revenue declined in the North region due to increased competition and seasonal lulls in activity. The Company has seen a recovery in coil tubing activity beginning in April along with increasing activity in other Ancillary Services lines.
Operating income in this segment was $0.5 million in the first quarter, down from $3.4 million in the prior year period and down from $3.4 million in the prior quarter. Adjusted EBITDA was $2.5 million, down from $5.0 million in the prior period and down compared to $5.3 million in the prior year period.

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)
Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measure
The Company utilizes certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes to be insightful in understanding the Company's financial results. These financial measures, which include Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow, should not be construed as being more important than, or as an alternative for, comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures. Detailed reconciliations of these Non-GAAP financial measures to comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures have been included below and are available in the Investor Relations sections of our website at www.rangerenergy.com. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow should not be construed as an indication that our results will be unaffected by the items excluded from the reconciliations. Our computations of these Non-GAAP financial measures may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Adjusted EBITDA
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 below from net income or loss in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially within our industry depending upon accounting methods, book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. 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.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income or loss before net interest expense, income tax provision or benefit, depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, acquisition-related, severance and reorganization costs, gain or loss on disposal of property and equipment, and certain other non-cash items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance.
The following tables are a reconciliation of net income or loss to Adjusted EBITDA for the respective periods, in millions:

Free Cash Flow
We believe Free Cash Flow is an important financial measure for use in evaluating the Company's financial performance, as it measures our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations. Free Cash Flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net income as a measure of our performance or net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Additionally, our definition of Free Cash Flow is limited and does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Therefore, we believe it is important to view Free Cash Flow as supplemental to our entire statement of cash flows.
The following table is a reconciliation of consolidated operating cash flows to Free Cash Flow for the respective periods, in millions:
