Ring Energy, Inc.: Ring Energy Announces Third Quarter 2024 Results, Provides Guidance For Fourth Quarter and Updates Full Year 2024 Outlook

~ Q3 2024 Highlighted by Record Sales, Strategic Divestiture and Meaningful Debt Reduction ~

THE WOODLANDS, Texas, Nov. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ring Energy, Inc. (NYSE American: REI) ("Ring" or the "Company") today reported operational and financial results for third quarter 2024 and provided an outlook for the fourth quarter and updated guidance for the full year.

Third Quarter 2024 Highlights

  • Produced record sales of 20,108 barrels of oil equivalent per day ("Boe/d") (66% oil) exceeding the high end of guidance;
  • Oil sales were 13,204 Bo/d which were within guidance;
  • Reported net income of $33.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, and Adjusted Net Income1 of $13.4 million, or $0.07 per diluted share;
  • Incurred Lease Operating Expense ("LOE") of $10.98 per Boe, near the midpoint of guidance;
  • Recorded Adjusted EBITDA1 of $54.0 million;
  • Divested non-core vertical wells and associated facilities in the Central Basin Platform for $5.5 million with a valuation of approximately 5.6 times estimated next twelve months cash flow2;
  • Guidance updated to reflect the impact of the divestiture;
  • Successful development campaign resulted in capital spending of $42.7 million (guidance was $35 million to $45 million) with 13 wells drilled and 11 wells completed and placed on production during the quarter;
  • Generated third quarter Adjusted Free Cash Flow1 of $1.9 million;
  • Remained cash flow positive for the 20th consecutive quarter;
  • Ended the period with $392.0 million in outstanding borrowings on the Company's credit facility, reflecting a paydown of $15.0 million during the third quarter, $33.0 million YTD; and
  • Increased liquidity to a record $208.0 million and Leverage Ratio3 remained at 1.59x as of September 30, 2024.

Mr. Paul D. McKinney, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Our strong performance during the third quarter is a direct reflection of the Company's commitment to its stockholders and - more specifically - the successful execution of our drilling and completion program and continued focus on reducing our all-in cash operating costs by our team of experienced professionals. Complementing this performance was the divestiture of non-core vertical assets in the Central Basin Platform (CBP). When combined with the cash flow from operations, we were able to reduce debt by another $15 million during the period, reducing our debt to $392 million. We believe it is important to point out that our debt at the end of the third quarter was $5 million less than debt we had at the end of the quarter prior to closing the Founders acquisition last year, yet our production is higher by over 2,800 Boe/d, enhancing our ability to accelerate further debt reduction in the future."

Mr. McKinney concluded, "As we look to the remainder of the fourth quarter and into 2025, we believe we are well positioned for continued success and further debt reduction as we remain squarely focused on our strategy of maximizing cash flow generation. As you know, further debt reduction over the coming quarters will be subject to commodity prices. If future oil prices are consistently lower than recent averages, we will pull back capital to maintain production in favor of our ongoing focus on debt reduction. Regarding our guidance, we have updated our full year 2024 guidance to reflect only the recent divestiture of non-core vertical assets. Our existing assets continue to meet or exceed expectations. Regarding our capital spending program during the fourth quarter, we look forward to the results of testing new opportunities designed to unlock new producing zones on our existing acreage. These investments represent a new phase of potential inventory growth for our Company through seeking to identify and develop new hydrocarbon resources organically. Although we are adding organic inventory growth as another strategy to create value, we will continue to pursue strategic, accretive and balance sheet enhancing acquisitions as our primary source of production and reserves growth. As in the past, we will maintain the discipline associated with enhancing our balance sheet and profitably achieving the size and scale designed to drive long-term value for our stockholders. Thank you for your continued support."

Sales Volumes, Prices and Revenues: Sales volumes for the third quarter of 2024 were a record 20,108 Boe/d (66% oil, 15% natural gas and 19% NGLs), or 1,849,934 Boe. Positively impacting third quarter 2024 sales volumes was the Founders Acquisition that closed in August 2023 and incremental production brought online during the period associated with the Company's ongoing development program. Second quarter 2024 sales volumes were 19,786 Boe/d (69% oil, 14% natural gas and 17% NGLs), or 1,800,570 Boe, and third quarter of 2023 sales volumes were 17,509 Boe/d (69% oil, 16% natural gas and 15% NGLs), or 1,610,857 Boe. Third quarter 2024 sales volumes were comprised of 1,214,788 barrels ("Bbls") of oil, 1,705,027 thousand cubic feet ("Mcf") of natural gas and 350,975 Bbls of NGLs.

For the third quarter of 2024, the Company realized an average sales price of $74.43 per barrel of crude oil, $(2.26) per Mcf of natural gas, and $7.66 per barrel of NGLs. The realized natural gas and NGL prices were impacted by a fee reduction to the value received. For the third quarter of 2024, the weighted average natural gas price per Mcf was $(0.50) and the weighted average fee per Mcf was $(1.76); the weighted average NGL price per barrel was $18.45 offset by a weighted average fee per barrel of $(10.79). The weighted average natural gas price for third quarter 2024 reflects continued natural gas product takeaway constraints, which could be alleviated through additional third-party pipeline capacity. The combined average realized sales price for the period was $48.24 per Boe versus $55.06 per Boe for the second quarter of 2024 and $58.16 per Boe in the third quarter of 2023. The average oil price differential the Company experienced from NYMEX WTI futures pricing in the third quarter of 2024 was a negative $0.56 per barrel of crude oil, while the average natural gas price differential from NYMEX futures pricing was a negative $4.43 per Mcf.

Revenues were $89.2 million for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $99.1 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $93.7 million for the third quarter of 2023. The decrease in third quarter 2024 revenues from the second quarter of 2024 was driven by a decrease in overall realized pricing, partially offset by increased sales volumes.

Lease Operating Expense ("LOE"): LOE, which includes expensed workovers and facilities maintenance, was $20.3 million, or $10.98 per Boe, in the third quarter of 2024, which was near the midpoint of the Company's guidance of $10.50 to $11.25 per Boe. LOE was $19.3 million, or $10.72 per Boe in the second quarter of 2024 and $18.0 million, or $11.18 per Boe, for the third quarter of 2023.

Gathering, Transportation and Processing ("GTP") Costs: As previously disclosed, due to a contractual change effective May 1, 2022, the Company no longer maintains ownership and control of natural gas through processing for the majority of its gas produced. As a result, the majority of GTP costs are now reflected as a reduction to the natural gas sales price and not as an expense item. There does remain one contract in place with a natural gas processing entity where the point of control of gas dictates requiring the fees to be recorded as an expense.

Ad Valorem Taxes: Ad valorem taxes were $1.17 per Boe for the third quarter of 2024 compared to $0.74 per Boe in the second quarter of 2024 and $1.10 per Boe for the third quarter of 2023.

Production Taxes: Production taxes were $2.27 per Boe in the third quarter of 2024 compared to $2.01 per Boe in the second quarter of 2024 and $2.95 per Boe in third quarter of 2023. Production taxes ranged between 3.7% to 5.1% of revenue for all three periods.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization ("DD&A") and Asset Retirement Obligation Accretion: DD&A was $13.87 per Boe in the third quarter of 2024 versus $13.72 per Boe for the second quarter of 2024 and $13.65 per Boe in the third quarter of 2023. Asset retirement obligation accretion was $0.19 per Boe in the third quarter of 2024, compared to $0.20 for the second quarter of 2024 and $0.22 per Boe in the third quarter of 2023.

General and Administrative Expenses ("G&A"): G&A was $6.4 million ($3.47 per Boe) for the third quarter of 2024 versus $7.7 million ($4.28 per Boe) for the second quarter of 2024 and $7.1 million ($4.40 per Boe) for the third quarter of 2023. G&A, excluding non-cash share-based compensation, was $6.4 million ($3.45 per Boe) for the third quarter of 2024 versus $5.6 million ($3.13 per Boe) for the second quarter of 2024 and $4.9 million ($3.05 per Boe) for the third quarter of 2023. G&A, excluding non-cash share-based compensation and transaction costs, was $6.4 million ($3.45 per Boe) for the third quarter of 2024 versus $5.6 million ($3.13 per Boe) for the second quarter of 2024 and $5.1 million ($3.15 per Boe) for the third quarter of 2023.

Interest Expense: Interest expense was $10.8 million in the third quarter of 2024 versus $10.9 million for the second quarter of 2024 and $11.4 million for the third quarter of 2023.

Derivative (Loss) Gain: In the third quarter of 2024, Ring recorded a net gain of $24.7 million on its commodity derivative contracts, including a realized $1.9 million cash commodity derivative loss and an unrealized $26.6 million non-cash commodity derivative gain. This compares to a net loss of $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2024, including a realized $2.6 million cash commodity derivative loss and an unrealized $0.8 million non-cash commodity derivative gain. In the third quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a net loss on commodity derivative contracts of $39.2 million, including a realized $5.4 million cash commodity derivative loss and an unrealized $33.9 million non-cash commodity derivative loss.

A summary listing of the Company's outstanding derivative positions at September 30, 2024 is included in the tables shown later in this release.

For the remainder (October through December) of 2024, the Company has approximately 0.6 million barrels of oil (approximately 48% of oil sales guidance midpoint) hedged and approximately 0.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas (approximately 32% of natural gas sales guidance midpoint) hedged.

Income Tax: The Company recorded a non-cash income tax provision of $10.1 million in the third quarter of 2024 versus a provision of $6.8 million in the second quarter of 2024, and a benefit of $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2023.

Sale of Non-Core Properties: On September 30, 2024, the Company completed the sale of certain oil and gas properties, including vertical wells and associated facilities, within Andrews County, Texas and Gaines County, Texas to an unaffiliated party for $5.5 million. As part of the sale, the buyer assumed an asset retirement obligation balance of approximately $2.7 million.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity: Total liquidity (defined as cash and cash equivalents plus borrowing base availability under the Company's credit facility) at September 30, 2024 was $208.0 million, a 7% increase from June 30, 2024. Liquidity at September 30, 2024 consisted of $208.0 million of availability under Ring's revolving credit facility, which included a reduction of $35 thousand for letters of credit. On September 30, 2024, the Company had $392 million in borrowings outstanding on its credit facility that has a current borrowing base of $600 million. During the third quarter, Ring paid down $15 million in borrowings. Consistent with the past, the Company is targeting continued debt reduction, dependent on market conditions, the timing and level of capital spending, and other considerations.

Capital Expenditures: During the third quarter of 2024, capital expenditures were $42.7 million, which was within the Company's guidance of $35 million to $45 million, and the number of wells drilled and completed (and placed on production) - 13 and 11 wells, respectively - was also within the Company's guidance range. Three horizontal ("Hz") wells were drilled and completed in the Northwest Shelf, including two 1-mile and one 1.5-mile. Four 1-mile Hz wells were drilled in the Central Basin Platform, two of which were completed in October. Finally, six vertical wells were drilled and completed in the Central Basin Platform.

Full Year and Fourth Quarter 2024 Sales Volumes, Capital Investment and Operating Expense Guidance

The Company is updating its guidance to reflect actual results through the third quarter and the previously discussed divestiture of non-core assets that was completed on September 30, 2024.

Ring's 2024 development program includes two rigs (one Hz and one vertical) focused on slightly growing oil sales volumes and maintaining year-over-year Boe sales. The Company's YTD performance has led to greater year-over-year Boe and oil sales volumes growth than originally planned.

For full year 2024, Ring now expects total capital spending of $147 million to $155 million (versus $141 million to $161 million previously), with no change to the midpoint. The updated program includes a balanced and capital efficient combination of drilling, completing and placing on production 21 to 23 Hz and 22 to 24 vertical wells across the Company's asset portfolio. Additionally, the full year capital spending program includes funds for targeted well recompletions, capital workovers, infrastructure upgrades, reactivations, and leasing costs, as well as non-operated drilling, completion, capital workovers, and ESG improvements.

All projects and estimates are based on assumed WTI oil prices of $70 to $90 per barrel and Henry Hub prices of $2.00 to $3.00 per Mcf. As in the past, Ring has designed its spending program with flexibility to respond to changes in commodity prices and other market conditions as appropriate.

Based on the $151 million midpoint of spending guidance, the Company continues to expect the following estimated allocation of capital, including:

  • 77% for drilling, completion, and related infrastructure;
  • 14% for recompletions and capital workovers;
  • 5% for ESG improvements (environmental and emission reducing upgrades); and
  • 4% for land, non-operated capital, and other.

The Company is updating its full year 2024 oil sales volumes guidance to between 13,250 and 13,450 Bo/d versus 13,200 to 13,800 Bo/d previously, which reflects a 1% reduction at the midpoint due primarily to the divestiture of non-core assets discussed above.

The Company remains focused on maximizing Adjusted Free Cash Flow. All 2024 planned capital expenditures will be fully funded by cash on hand and cash from operations, and excess Adjusted Free Cash Flow is targeted for further debt reduction.

For the fourth quarter of 2024, Ring is providing guidance for sales volumes of 12,950 to 13,550 Bo/d and 19,200 to 20,000 Boe/d (68% oil, 13% natural gas, and 19% NGLs).

The Company is targeting total capital expenditures in fourth quarter 2024 of $33 million to $41 million, primarily for drilling and completion activity. Additionally, the capital spending program includes funds for targeted capital workovers, infrastructure upgrades, well reactivations, leasing acreage; and non-operated drilling, completion, and capital workovers.

Ring expects LOE of $10.75 to $11.25 per Boe for the fourth quarter and $10.70 to $11.00 per Boe for the full year. The Company's previous guidance for full year 2024 was $10.50 to $11.25 per Boe.

The guidance in the table below represents the Company's current good faith estimate of the range of likely future results. Guidance could be affected by the factors discussed below in the "Safe Harbor Statement" section.

RING ENERGY, INC.
Non-GAAP Financial Information

Certain financial information included in this release are not measures of financial performance recognized by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures are "Adjusted Net Income," "Adjusted EBITDA," "Adjusted Free Cash Flow" or "AFCF," "Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations" or "ACFFO," "G&A Excluding Share-Based Compensation," "G&A Excluding Share-Based Compensation and Transaction Costs," "Leverage Ratio," "All-In Cash Operating Costs," and "Cash Operating Margin." Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used to determine a portion of the Company's incentive compensation awards. These disclosures may not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be reported by other companies.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Net Income

"Adjusted Net Income" is calculated as net income (loss) minus the estimated after-tax impact of share-based compensation, ceiling test impairment, unrealized gains and losses on changes in the fair value of derivatives, and transaction costs for executed acquisitions and divestitures (A&D). Adjusted Net Income is presented because the timing and amount of these items cannot be reasonably estimated and affect the comparability of operating results from period to period, and current period to prior periods. The Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted Net Income provides useful information to investors as it is one of the metrics management uses to assess the Company's ongoing operating and financial performance, and also is a useful metric for investors to compare our results with our peers.

Adjusted Net Income per Diluted Share$0.07 $0.12 $0.13 $0.29 $0.41

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA

The Company defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as net income (loss) plus net interest expense (including interest income and expense), unrealized loss (gain) on change in fair value of derivatives, ceiling test impairment, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, asset retirement obligation accretion, transaction costs for executed acquisitions and divestitures (A&D), share-based compensation, loss (gain) on disposal of assets, and backing out the effect of other income. Company management believes Adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful because it helps investors understand Ring's operating performance and makes it easier to compare its results with those of other companies that have different financing, capital and tax structures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income, as an indication of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA, as Ring calculates it, may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA measures reported by other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for discretionary use.

Reconciliations of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted Free Cash Flow

The Company defines "Adjusted Free Cash Flow" or "AFCF" as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities less changes in operating assets and liabilities (as reflected on our Condensed Statements of Cash Flows), plus transaction costs for executed acquisitions and divestitures (A&D), current income tax expense (benefit), proceeds from divestitures of equipment for oil and natural gas properties, loss (gain) on disposal of assets, and less capital expenditures, bad debt expense, and other income. For this purpose, our definition of capital expenditures includes costs incurred related to oil and natural gas properties (such as drilling and infrastructure costs and the lease maintenance costs) but excludes acquisition costs of oil and gas properties from third parties that are not included in our capital expenditures guidance provided to investors. Our management believes that Adjusted Free Cash Flow is an important financial performance measure for use in evaluating the performance and efficiency of our current operating activities after the impact of capital expenditures and net interest expense (including interest income and expense, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and without being impacted by items such as changes associated with working capital, which can vary substantially from one period to another. Other companies may use different definitions of Adjusted Free Cash Flow.

Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations

The Company defines "Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations" or "ACFFO" as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, as reflected in our Condensed Statements of Cash Flows, less the changes in operating assets and liabilities, which includes accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, and settlement of asset retirement obligations, which are subject to variation due to the nature of the Company's operations. Accordingly, the Company believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors because it is used often in its industry and allows investors to compare this metric to other companies in its peer group as well as the E&P sector.

Calculation of Leverage Ratio

"Leverage" or the "Leverage Ratio" is calculated under our existing senior revolving credit facility and means as of any date, the ratio of (i) our consolidated total debt as of such date to (ii) our Consolidated EBITDAX for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or immediately prior to such date for which financial statements are required to have been delivered under our existing senior revolving credit facility.

The Company defines "Consolidated EBITDAX" in accordance with our existing senior revolving credit facility that means for any period an amount equal to the sum of (i) consolidated net income (loss) for such period plus (ii) to the extent deducted in determining consolidated net income for such period, and without duplication, (A) consolidated interest expense, (B) income tax expense determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, (C) depreciation, depletion and amortization determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, (D) exploration expenses determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, and (E) all other non-cash charges acceptable to our senior revolving credit facility administrative agent determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, in each case for such period minus (iii) all noncash income added to consolidated net income (loss) for such period; provided that, for purposes of calculating compliance with the financial covenants, to the extent that during such period we shall have consummated an acquisition permitted by the credit facility or any sale, transfer or other disposition of any property or assets permitted by the senior revolving credit facility, Consolidated EBITDAX will be calculated on a pro forma basis with respect to the property or assets so acquired or disposed of.

Also set forth in our existing senior revolving credit facility is the maximum permitted Leverage Ratio of 3.00. The following table shows the leverage ratio calculation for our most recent fiscal quarter.
