CEO Comments
“I am pleased to report that our results for the first quarter of 2023 demonstrate strong year-over-year growth across all segments of our business,” stated Stuart Bodden, Chief Executive Officer of Ranger Energy Services.
“Operating activity across all of our service lines remained consistent with our fourth quarter, and with the winter months behind us, we expect activity levels to increase through the second and third quarters,” said Bodden. “Despite sector-wide pressures from declining natural gas prices, the operating teams in our well services group did an outstanding job managing affected assets to deliver consistent utilization redeploying assets from the Haynesville without losing ground on pricing.
“Our major customers are increasingly seeking out meaningful partnerships with a limited number of vendors that demonstrate strong service quality, a trend that plays to Ranger’s strengths and reinforces our outlook for the second half of the year,” Mr. Bodden continued. “In our Wireline group, while our Northern region has continued to perform well, we have seen margin pressure in the completions space in the Permian Basin, brought about by relocated assets and pricing concessions offered by other providers. We remain committed to pursuing work with efficient operators at attractive pricing and improving margins in this segment. Overall, as we look at the full year, we continue to expect achieving meaningful growth year-over-year and meet our previously stated guidance.
“Finally, our strong free cash flow conversion profile resulted in another quarter of debt reduction putting us closer to our net debt zero goal,” said Mr. Bodden. “Considering this progress and our previously announced capital return program, we initiated a share repurchase program late in the first quarter. As previously communicated, we will continually evaluate capital return and deployment options that provide shareholders with the highest return opportunity.
“Overall, our first quarter results reflect the hard work and dedication of our employees, the strength of our business model, and our commitment to delivering sustainable value to our stakeholders,” concluded Mr. Bodden.

STRATEGIC UPDATE
Ranger continues to execute on its value creation priorities, which include improving cash flow potential, strengthening its balance sheet, growing through acquisition, and returning meaningful capital to shareholders. We continued to progress in each of these areas during the first quarter of 2023.
- Improving Cash Flow Potential: The Company remains focused on cash flow generation underpinned by a capital efficient business model with strong operating leverage. We have a series of initiatives underway during 2023 to improve market penetration and operating efficiency, including initiatives to drive more consistent cash flow through the seasonal months.
-
Building Balance Sheet Strength: During the first quarter, the Company reduced Adjusted Net Debt by
$13.1 million $9.3 million - Exploring Growth Through Acquisition: Ranger has demonstrated a successful track record of consolidating and integrating businesses and, during the quarter, the Company evaluated potential acquisitions looking for companies with similar strategic advantages, including low capital intensity, demonstrated cash flow generation, in-basin scale and heavier production cycle focus. Ranger’s disciplined acquisition strategy is rooted in maximizing long-term value through accretive valuation when evaluating acquisition opportunities.
-
Initiating Capital Return Framework: The Company previously announced a share repurchase and dividend framework that it believes provides the best overall value creation potential for investors with a commitment to return at least
25% of annual cash flows going forward. The share repurchase portion of this commitment was initiated during first quarter.

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, Adjusted Net Debt, and Free Cash Flow, should not be construed as being more important than, or as an alternative for, comparable
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 assets, and certain other non-cash and certain 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:

Adjusted Net Debt
We believe Net Debt and Adjusted Net Debt are useful performance measures of liquidity, financial health and provides an indication of our leverage. We define Net Debt as current and long-term debt, finance leases, other financing obligations, offset by cash and cash equivalents. We define Adjusted Net Debt as Net Debt, less a facility financing lease, to be analogous to the calculation of certain financial covenants. All debt and other obligations present the principal balances outstanding as of the respective periods.
The following table is a reconciliation of consolidated debt and cash and cash equivalents to Net Debt and Adjusted Net Debt as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, in millions:
