RPC, Inc. (NYSE: RES) is a prominent holding company providing a wide array of specialized oilfield services and equipment to both independent and major oilfield companies engaged in the exploration, production, and development of oil and gas properties across the United States and selected international markets. The company operates through two primary business segments: Technical Services and Support Services.
RPC's Technical Services segment includes critical services such as pressure pumping, downhole tools, coiled tubing, nitrogen, well control, wireline, and fishing. These services play a vital role throughout the lifecycle of a well, enhancing oil and gas flow and addressing well control issues. The Support Services segment offers essential tools and services including drill pipe and tubular rentals, pipe handling, inspection and storage, and oilfield training and consulting.
RPC is committed to growth and shareholder value, evidenced by its strategic acquisitions and expansions. Recent notable acquisitions include Spinnaker Oilwell Services, which strengthens RPC’s cementing service offerings. Despite facing market challenges, RPC has maintained a conservative balance sheet and continues to focus on increasing market share and geographic expansion.
Financially, for the quarter ended June 30, 2023, RPC reported revenues of $415.9 million, reflecting a decline from $476.7 million in the previous quarter due to job delays and weaker activity in natural gas basins. However, operating profit for the second quarter was $82.4 million, and net income stood at $65.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share. The company's financial stability is further underscored by its debt-free status and substantial cash reserves, bolstered by targeted organic investments and consistent returns to shareholders through dividends and stock buybacks.
Recent achievements include the successful integration of Spinnaker, which significantly expands RPC's presence in the Permian and mid-Continent basins, and the introduction of a new Tier 4 dual-fuel fleet anticipated to enhance service capacity by mid-2024. Looking forward, RPC aims to navigate market fluctuations through prudent cost management and strategic investments in high-quality equipment.
RPC remains a vital player in the oilfield services sector, continually adapting to market dynamics while delivering robust financial performance and operational excellence.
