Ranger Energy Services, Inc. Announces Q4 2017 Results
HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ranger Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: RNGR) (“Ranger” or the “Company”)
announced today its results for its fiscal quarter ended December 31,
2017.
The highlights for Q4 2017 were:
-
The Company began to raise high-spec rig hourly rates in response to
higher demand and labor costs. -
The Company launched its completion wireline business in the Permian
Basin. Four trucks were put into service during the quarter and
another two have been delivered thus far in 2018. -
In January 2018, the Company purchased 15 well testing spreads to
launch a new complementary service line. Well testing fits into the
Company’s focus on delivering a solutions-based approach to best meet
its customers’ completion needs. -
The Company made significant progress integrating assets acquired in
the acquisition of ESCO Leasing, LLC, an affiliate of Energy Service
Company of Bowie, Inc. (the “ESCO Acquisition”) via re-aligning the
management structure and systems.
Financial highlights for Q4 2017 were:
-
Revenues of $50.1 million for Q4 2017, a sequential increase of 22%
from $41.1 million in Q3 2017. -
Net loss of $5.6 million for Q4 decreased from a net loss of $9.5
million in Q3 2017 largely due to the reduction of non-cash interest
expense from related party debt in Q4 as compared to Q3. -
Adjusted EBITDA1 increased to $3.8 million for Q4, from
$3.0 million in Q3, principally due to revenue growth partially offset
by startup costs for the wireline business, year-end adjustments
related to insurance and the year-end seasonal slowdown. -
Rig hours for Q4 increased 18% to approximately 69,800 for Q4 from
59,000 in Q3. The rig hours for rigs not part of the ESCO Acquisition
were approximately 52,900 in Q4 versus 49,200 in Q3. -
Rig utilization as measured by average monthly hours per rig decreased
to 179 hours in Q4 from 199 hours in Q3 due to the seasonal slowdown
and having a full quarter of activity from the rigs acquired in the
ESCO Acquisition. -
The average hourly rates for high-spec rigs increased to approximately
$454 in Q4 from $444 in Q3.

Supplemental Non-GAAP Financial Measures (Unaudited)” at the end of this press release for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. |
Darron Anderson, Ranger’s CEO, commented:
“We experienced another dynamic quarter despite normal, year-end
customer budget constraints and seasonal weather impact. Since the
beginning of the year, we are seeing demand strengthening broadly across
all basins. We remain focused on our strategy to be the premier,
solutions-focused, high-spec rig provider of choice for horizontal
completions and producing wells. During the quarter, we took delivery of
six new high-spec rigs and launched our completions-focused wireline
business in the Permian Basin. Subsequent to the quarter we purchased 15
well testing spreads to support our horizontal drill-out solution and
further our expansion into the completions space. The ESCO integration
is progressing well and we are seeing continued rig hour growth from
that portion of our fleet thus far in 2018. With demand improving, we
continue to increase pricing and remain optimistic as the market is
still significantly below 2014 levels.”
Financial Results
Revenues
During the quarter, revenues increased to $50.1 million from $41.1
million in Q3. The increase was primarily attributable to the increased
number of rig hours in the Well Services segment, representing the first
full quarter following the ESCO Acquisition, and the startup of our new
Permian Basin wireline business. The results by segment were as follows:
-
Well Services revenue increased 22% to $47.7 million in Q4 from $39.0
million in Q3. Rig utilization, as measured by average monthly hours
per rig, decreased to 179 from 199. Total rig hours increased to
approximately 69,800 hours in Q4 from 59,000. For the quarter, the
average number of rigs in our fleet increased to 130 rigs from 99 in
Q3. The Company ended the fourth quarter with 135 rigs in its fleet of
which 130 were ready for service and 105 were active. During the
quarter, the Company had six new rigs delivered of which one was ready
for service by the end of the quarter. Additional increases to revenue
were principally due to our Permian Basin wireline business. -
Processing Solutions revenue increased slightly to $2.4 million from
$2.1 million in Q3 mainly due to increased mobilization revenue.
Operating Loss and Net Loss
During the quarter, the operating loss increased to $5.2 million from
$4.8 million in Q3. The $0.4 million increase was mainly due to higher
depreciation and amortization expenses which were driven by the
additional capital expenditures and represents a full quarter of results
for the assets acquired in the ESCO Acquisition.
During the quarter, net loss decreased by $3.9 million to $5.6 million
from $9.5 million in Q3. The decrease was principally due to lower
interest expense from related party debt which was converted to equity
in connection with the Company’s initial public offering (the “IPO”),
partly offset by depreciation and amortization expense.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA increased to $3.8 million in Q4 from $3.0 million in Q3.
The increase was mainly due to increased revenues offset by start-up
costs for our new wireline activities, adjustments related to insurance
and the seasonal slowdown.

$17.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTAL NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES |
(UNAUDITED) |
Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure determined in accordance with
GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before interest expense,
net, tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, equity-based
compensation, acquisition-related and severance costs, impairment of
goodwill, costs incurred for IPO-related services and certain other
items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance.
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 above from net loss in
arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially
within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of
assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were
acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to,
or more meaningful than, net loss determined in accordance with GAAP.
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. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be
construed as an indication that our results will be unaffected by the
items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA
may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other
companies. The following table presents reconciliations of net income
(loss) to Adjusted EBITDA, our most directly comparable financial
measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.
The following table is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted
EBITDA for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and September 30,
2017, in millions:
