Ranger Energy (RNGR) Q2 Earnings Miss Estimates, Revenues Rise Y/Y (Revised)
Ranger Energy (RNGR) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.29 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.3 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.32 per share a year ago. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.36 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.12. Over the last four quarters, the company has not been able to surpass consensus EPS estimates. Ranger Energy, which belongs to the Zacks Oil and Gas - Field Services industry, posted revenues of $176.5 million for the quarter ended June 2026, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $164.4 million. This compares to year-ago revenues of $140.6 million. The company beat consensus revenue estimates once in the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Ranger Energy shares have added about 12.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.3%. While Ranger Energy has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Ranger Energy was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

Ranger Energy Services Q2 Earnings Call Highlights
Interested in Ranger Energy Services, Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. Ranger Energy Services delivered strong second-quarter growth: Revenue rose 25.5% year over year to $176.5 million, while adjusted EBITDA increased 23% sequentially to $28.6 million. Management said the company exceeded a $100 million annualized EBITDA run rate and expects 2026 adjusted EBITDA to surpass that level. Performance was mixed across segments: Ancillary Services and Wireline Services posted substantial revenue gains, but Wireline is expected to weaken after several high-performing contracts ended. High-Spec Rig margins were pressured by a tax audit and ECHO deployment costs, though management expects improvement in the third quarter. ECHO hybrid-rig expansion remains a major growth initiative: Two rigs are expected to enter service by the end of the third quarter, and Chevron has committed to three additional rigs. Ranger has 20 ECHO rigs under contract, with deployment planned at roughly one rig per month, while full-year capital expenditures are projected at about $50 million. Ranger Energy Services (NYSE:RNGR) reported higher second-quarter revenue and adjusted EBITDA as activity strengthened across its production-focused service lines and the company continued integrating American Well Services, or AWS. Revenue for the quarter ended June 30 totaled $176.5 million, up 10.9% from $159.1 million in the first quarter and 25.5% from $140.6 million a year earlier. Net income was $6.9 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared with $3 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the prior quarter and $7.3 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025. → Volatility Is Back and These 3 Market Tollbooths Are Best Positioned to Profit Adjusted EBITDA increased 23% sequentially to $28.6 million, producing a 16.2% margin, compared with $23.3 million and a 14.6% margin in the first quarter. CEO Stuart Bodden said the company had exceeded an annualized adjusted EBITDA run rate of $100 million, a target Ranger had outlined following the AWS acquisition. “We continue to believe adjusted EBITDA for 2026 will exceed $100 million,” Bodden said, adding that Ranger expects third-quarter results to be similarly strong before potential fourth-quarter softness from holiday and weather effects. → This Tiny AI Supplier Could Be More Important Than the Chipmakers Ranger’s…Read full documentShow less

The segment recorded 146,800 rig hours, modestly above the first quarter and 25% higher than a year earlier, benefiting from the expanded fleet. Average hourly rig rates were $772, up from $731 in the first quarter, primarily reflecting fuel surcharges passed through to customers. High-Spec Rig adjusted EBITDA was $20.6 million, down from $21.4 million in the first quarter, with margins just under 19%. CFO Melissa Cougle said margins were affected by an unusual state sales-tax audit that Ranger is challenging, as well as make-ready costs for the upcoming deployment of its ECHO hybrid electric workover rigs. → 2 Stocks Built to Thrive If Inflation Refuses to Fade Bodden said the company forecasts slight third-quarter revenue growth in High-Spec Rigs and expects margins to improve toward 20%. He said customer activity has included more smaller programs that have helped fill available capacity, although he does not believe market conditions have changed enough to meaningfully add industry capacity. Ancillary Services revenue reached $44.5 million, increasing 13% from the first quarter and 38% from the year-earlier period. Adjusted EBITDA was $10 million, for a 22.5% margin. Ranger cited growth of 20% or more in its coiled tubing, plugging and abandonment, and Torrent service lines. Wireline Services delivered revenue of $18.6 million, up 75% from $10.6 million in the first quarter, and generated $3.6 million in adjusted EBITDA with a 19% margin. The segment completed 2,560 stages during the quarter, aided by an efficiently executed completions contract. Cougle said the pump-down service line posted record results, while the conventional production-focused line expanded revenue and tripled margins from the prior quarter. Management cautioned that the contracts supporting Wireline’s outperformance have concluded. Ranger expects softer revenue and reduced EBITDA margins in the second half, potentially returning to single-digit levels. Ranger said construction of its ECHO next-generation hybrid electric workover fleet remains on schedule. Two rigs are currently undergoing field testing and are expected to be operational by the end of the third quarter under an earlier contract award. The company also recently announced that Chevron committed to three additional ECHO rigs. During the question-and-answer session, Bodden said Ranger has 20 ECHO rigs under contract and would not be surprised to see additional contracts over the next nine to 12 months. He said the company expects approximately one rig per month to be deployed, with the 15 rigs announced earlier in 2026 expected to be deployed by the end of 2027. Bodden said the company is becoming increasingly confident that many ECHO rigs will add to its overall fleet, though it expects some “modest shuffling” of conventional equipment. He said customers are still evaluating the appropriate mix of electric or hybrid and conventional rigs, with wider adoption likely depending on demonstrated safety and efficiency gains over time. Cougle said the accounting treatment of upfront ECHO payments is expected to have a muted effect on reported results initially. Ranger plans to adjust amortization of upfront payments out of EBITDA, while any premium day rates under contracts could provide margin uplift. The company said it will provide additional updates if ECHO’s effect becomes material to margins. Free cash flow totaled $20 million in the second quarter, supported by $26.4 million in cash provided by operating activities. Year-to-date free cash flow was neutral because of working-capital investment earlier in the year and spending on the ECHO fleet. Capital expenditures totaled $24.7 million year to date, including $12.7 million related to ECHO rigs. Ranger expects approximately $50 million in capital expenditures for the full year, including roughly $23 million in ECHO-related payments that depend on deliveries through year-end. Ranger used more than $4.5 million during the quarter to repurchase 282,900 shares. Since mid-2023, the company has repurchased 4.6 million shares for a total of $52.1 million, while continuing its standard quarterly dividend, according to Bodden. At June 30, Ranger had total liquidity of $61.3 million, including $57.1 million of available revolver capacity and $4.2 million of cash. Cougle said receivables and contract assets remained elevated because of billing delays in June, but the company expects collection efforts, billing-process automation and potential working-capital releases in the second half to support debt reduction and strategic opportunities.

Ranger Energy Services, Inc. Q2 2026 Earnings Call Summary
Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. Achieved a key strategic milestone by surpassing a $100 million annualized adjusted EBITDA run rate, validating the earnings power anticipated following the American Well Services (AWS) acquisition. Performance was bolstered by a 10.9% sequential revenue increase, driven by seasonal strength in workover and maintenance activity and improved market sentiment throughout the quarter. The High Spec Rig segment benefited from increased rig hours and modest rate uplifts achieved through fuel surcharges passed to customers to offset rising costs. Wireline performance was exceptionally strong due to the execution of specific completion contracts, though management notes these contracts have concluded, leading to expected normalization in the back half of the year. Strategic focus remains on the integration of AWS to capture synergies, including standardized billing protocols and cross-selling opportunities across the combined footprint. The company continues to differentiate its service offering through the rollout of the Echo hybrid-electric rig fleet, which management views as a competitive advantage in safety and efficiency. Management expects Q3 performance to remain similarly strong to Q2, followed by typical seasonal softening in Q4 due to holiday schedules and weather impacts. The Echo fleet rollout remains on schedule with a target deployment rate of approximately one rig per month, aiming for 17 rigs in the field by the end of 2027. Wireline margins are expected to face pressure in the second half of the year, potentially returning to single digits as high-margin completion contracts conclude. Capital expenditures for 2026 are projected at approximately $50 million, with $23 million dedicated to Echo rig payments depending on delivery timelines. Working capital releases are anticipated in the latter half of the year to support debt reduction and strategic capital allocation opportunities. High Spec Rig margins were slightly impacted by an unusual state sales tax audit currently under challenge and make-ready costs for upcoming Echo rig deployments.

Management highlighted a shift in capital allocation strategy, having repurchased 4.6 million shares since mid-2023 to create shareholder value alongside strategic acquisitions. The company maintains a low federal cash tax position by utilizing historical net operating losses, which are expected to persist in the near to mid-term. One stock. Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first. Get the pick. Tap here. Management shares the view that activity may increase toward 2027 as the forward curve strengthens, though current demand is primarily driven by smaller programs filling utilization gaps. While utilization is improving, management has not yet seen enough fundamental market change to justify meaningfully adding new capacity beyond the Echo fleet. The financial impact of Echo rigs will be largely muted in the near term as management plans to adjust out the non-cash amortization of upfront payments. Potential margin uplift is expected to come from premium day rates on contracts, which will be quantified for investors once they reach a material threshold of approximately 50 basis points. Large operators are currently evaluating whether to move to a complete electric base load, while smaller independents are 'kicking the tires' but waiting for a longer track record of safety and efficiency gains. Ranger currently has 23 Echo rigs under contract. and anticipates additional orders over the next 9 to 12 months as field results mature.

Q: How do the prepayments for ECHO rigs affect margins, and what should we expect as more rigs are deployed? A: Melissa Kugel, CFO: The impact on margins will be largely unnoticeable. We will adjust back the amortization of upfront payments, which will lift revenue but not EBITDA. As premium day rates come into play, there could be margin uplift, but currently, the effect is muted. Q: What are Ranger's plans for expanding service lines through acquisitions, and what are you seeing in the M&A landscape? A: Stuart Bowden, CEO: We're pleased with the performance of service lines like COIL, P&A, and Torrent. Some AWS-acquired service lines are mixed, and we're focused on consistency. In terms of M&A, we're exploring opportunities aligned with our current service lines. Q: What is the long-term outlook for the Torrent business, and what are the current drivers of its performance? A: Stuart Bowden, CEO: Torrent had a strong quarter, driven by infield gas processing. We're seeing increased demand and are focused on achieving sustained full utilization.

To ask a question, you may press star then one on your telephone keypad. To withdraw your question, please press star then two. Please note, this event is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to Joe Mease, Vice President of Finance. Please go ahead.
Good morning, and thank you for joining Ranger Energy Services second quarter 2026 earnings conference call. Before we begin, Ranger has issued a press release outlining our operational and financial performance for the quarter ended June 30th, 2026. The press release and accompanying presentation materials are available in the investor relations section of our website at www.rangerenergy.com. Today's discussion may contain forward-looking statements about future business and financial expectations. Actual results may differ significantly from those projected in today's forward-looking statements due to various risks and uncertainties, including the risks described in our periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update our forward-looking statements.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, changes in crude oil and natural gas prices, customer activity levels, operating risks, competitive pressures, weather conditions, integration risks related to acquisitions, and other risks described in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Further, please note that non-GAAP financial measures will be referenced during this call. A full reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measurements is available in our latest quarterly earnings release and conference call presentation. Joining me on the call today are Stuart Bodden, our Chief Executive Officer, and Melissa Cougle, our Chief Financial Officer. Following their remarks, we'll open the call for Q&A. With that, I'll turn it over to Stuart.
Thank you, Joe, and good morning, everyone. We appreciate you being with us today for Ranger's second quarter 2026 results. I'll take a few minutes to review where we are strategically and operationally and share some high-level financial context. Melissa will walk through the more detailed P&L, cash flow, and balance sheet results. Overall, Ranger's second quarter performance reinforced the earnings power we believed we could achieve following the AWS acquisition. The integration of AWS continues to build momentum, and the business is performing well. We were pleased to see the team's dedication and hard work translate into meaningful sequential improvement in both revenue and EBITDA. Activity levels were strong as anticipated, and market sentiment continued to improve modestly throughout the quarter. Going forward, we remain focused on converting that momentum into sustained operating consistency, stronger execution across the combined footprint, and taking advantage of cross-selling opportunities.
As always, our teams in the field remain focused on executing safely, reliably, and efficiently for our customers. Ranger once again delivered sequential top-line growth across our core segments with a total revenue of $176.5 million, up 10.9% sequentially. Ranger generated adjusted EBITDA of $28.6 million, representing a 16.2% EBITDA margin, which expanded 160 basis points quarter-over-quarter. We have now passed a key milestone of generating an annualized adjusted EBITDA run rate in excess of $100 million, consistent with the target we first shared with investors after the AWS acquisition. We continue to believe adjusted EBITDA for 2026 will exceed $100 million, with Q3 expected to be similarly strong as Q2 before a typical potential softening in Q4 due to holiday and weather impacts. Let me put the headline results in the context of what we are seeing in the market.
At the start of the year, the U.S. onshore market was relatively muted, with activity expectations broadly consistent with 2025, stable to slightly lower. During the second quarter, we saw a modest increase in workover and maintenance activity, supported by normal seasonal strength from longer summer days and more favorable weather. Those trends played out as expected across Ranger's broader portfolio. With a business model heavily weighted toward production-focused work, Ranger remains best in class at delivering cost-efficient, high-quality workover and intervention services on existing wells. In a market where customers continue to exercise capital discipline, demand for our fleet has remained strong.
Providing some comments on each of our segments, our High-Spec Rig segment had a strong second quarter with revenue increasing 4%, supported by increased rig hours quarter-over-quarter and a modest rate uplift on the back of fuel surcharges passed along to customers early in the quarter to offset increases in our fuel costs. The third quarter is traditionally our strongest quarter of the year, and we are forecasting slight increases in the top line, with margins expected to improve closer towards 20%. As has traditionally been the case in our High-Spec Rig segment. In our Ancillary Services lines, we saw standout performance from our Coiled Tubing Services line during the quarter, with good growth in our plugging and abandonment and Torrent service lines as well, with all three service lines growing by 20% or more quarter-over-quarter on the top line.
Performance within the other service lines was somewhat inconsistent, and we are focused on finding better opportunities to nurture and grow these businesses in the future. Contribution from our Wireline Services segment this quarter was exceptionally strong. We made changes to the leadership team a little less than a year ago, and the entire Wireline Services team's effort over the past several months is showing real results. The team secured several contracts earlier this year that drove much of the outperformance, and it was encouraging to see profitability materialize for the Wireline Services segment. As we look ahead, the contract awards that drove these results have concluded, and while our long-term outlook for Wireline Services is favorable, we expect the back half of the year to experience reduced EBITDA margins, potentially back to single digits, and a softer top line. The key themes driving our operational performance haven't changed.
We remain singularly focused on a few key areas this year. First, we always prioritize safety and service execution. Our operational teams continue to deliver work safely and on schedule, which is why we maintain the strongest relationships with the largest E&P operators in the U.S. land market. The customers value our safety-forward culture and focus on ensuring asset reliability and crew competency, which positions us well as activity continues to pick up in the future. Second, we achieved a significant milestone last year with the acquisition of American Well Services, and we remain focused on fully completing the integration and capturing synergies. In our second full quarter post-acquisition, we continued to improve the legacy business, advance cross-selling opportunities, standardize billing protocols, and drive towards full utilization, greater consistency, and growth in adjacent service lines across the Ranger footprint.
We also continued to make meaningful progress on the rollout of our ECHO fleet. The construction of our fleet of next-generation hybrid electric workover rigs remains on schedule. The first two rigs contracted under our award announced at the start of the year are presently undergoing field testing and are expected to be operational by the end of the third quarter. Recently, we also announced that one of our core customers, Chevron, is committing to three additional ECHO rigs. The vote of confidence in ECHO's capabilities and this continued partnership is something we take great pride in at Ranger. ECHO remains a differentiated asset in the market, delivering enhanced safety, lower fuel consumption and emissions, and improved operating efficiency. We continue to see market signs that ECHO adoption will accelerate in the future and provide for further differentiation of Ranger services.
Finally, Ranger began a journey to prove our cash flow generation potential over three years ago. We continue to be focused on allocating capital where it has the potential to create maximum value for our shareholders while maintaining unparalleled balance sheet strength as a small-cap energy services player. This quarter, we deployed nearly $4.5 million of excess cash into share repurchases of 282,900 shares. We have now repurchased 4.6 million shares for a total at $52.1 million since mid-2023, while at the same time declaring our standard quarterly dividend. Deploying cash flow strategically, whether towards share repurchases or towards acquisitions like AWS, we feel our approach to managing capital deployment is as much a strategic advantage as our ECHO fleet. Ranger is as strong as ever and continues to create value for shareholders, customers, and employees.
We are positioning the company for long-term value creation. We are increasingly optimistic about the growth opportunities ahead. Whether supporting market expansion tied to U.S. energy independence and the build-out of data centers and computing power, pursuing value-accretive acquisitions, expanding our differentiated ECHO rig fleet, or strategically repurchasing shares in the open market, Ranger is setting a differentiated path for continued growth and strong performance. With that, I'll turn over the call to Melissa for a few remarks on the financial performance specifics.
Good morning. Thank you, Stuart. We appreciate you all joining the call. This morning, I'll take you through the numbers in more detail, providing some additional color on what is driving our results. Starting with net income, we reported $6.9 million in the second quarter or $0.29 per diluted share, versus $3 million or $0.12 per diluted share in the first quarter and $7.3 million or $0.32 per diluted share in the year-ago quarter. Ranger remains a low federal cash taxpayer benefiting from historical net operating losses, which are expected to continue in the near to midterm. Ranger's total consolidated revenue for the quarter was $176.5 million, up 10.9% sequentially from $159.1 million in the first quarter of 2026, and up 25.5% year-over-year from $140.6 million in Q2 2025.
The quarter-over-quarter increases were driven by performance in both our Ancillary Services and Wireline Services segments, while year-over-year increases were largely a result of the AWS acquisition. From these revenues, Ranger generated adjusted EBITDA of $28.6 million, representing a 16.2% margin, which compares to $23.3 million and a 14.6% margin in Q1 2026, and $20.6 million and a 14.7% margin in Q2 of 2025. In absolute dollars, adjusted EBITDA increased 23% quarter-over-quarter. We are excited to be seeing margins once again above 15% and expect that trend to continue going forward. High-Spec Rigs produced revenues of $113.4 million in Q2, an increase of $4.3 million, or 3.9% sequentially from $109.1 million in Q1 2026, and an increase of $27.1 million, or 31.4%, from $86.3 million in Q2 of 2025.
Rig hours were 146,800. Modestly improved from the prior quarter, while up 25% year-over-year with benefit of the expanded rig fleet. Average hourly rig rates were $772 per hour, up about 6% sequentially from $731 per hour and up about 5% year-over-year from $738 per hour. Sequential and year-over-year increases in rig rates were driven by pass-through of surcharges to customers to cover increased fuel costs. Adjusted EBITDA for the High-Spec Rigs segment was $20.6 million, compared to $21.4 million in the first quarter and $17.6 million in the year-ago quarter, while segment margins for the quarter were just under 19%. A small amount of softness on margins crept in this quarter and was driven by an unusual state sales tax audit that is currently under challenge, as well as some make-ready costs on our upcoming ECHO deployment.
In our Ancillary Services segment, Q2 revenue was $44.5 million, up 13% sequentially and 38% year-over-year. As Stuart mentioned, this segment has benefited from not only the AWS service lines acquired last year, but also from good expansion in our P&A and Torrent service lines. Adjusted EBITDA on this segment was $10 million for the quarter, with margins of 22.5%. This segment continues to hold potential for Ranger through multiple service lines that we will be exploring in the back half of the year. Finally, we are happy to report a great quarter for the Wireline Services segment, with revenue of $18.6 million, up 75% from $10.6 million in Q1, with 2,560 completed stages, with contributions from a completions contract that was efficient and well executed.
Our pump down service line hit record results during the quarter, as well as more than doubling their top line with strong fall through and a great margin expansion as a result. Our conventional production-focused service line tripled its margins as well while expanding top line results from the prior quarter. The operating team knocked it out of the ballpark this quarter, producing overall margins of 19% with adjusted EBITDA of $3.6 million. We are focused on finding more good opportunities, even if they are sometimes hard to find. Until then, we are facing softness in the back half of the year that will pull top line back down somewhat, along with margin degradation expected with strong operating leverage that works both ways. Turning to the balance sheet, we made progress on collections early during the quarter.
Receivables and contract assets remained elevated at quarter end, due in part to delays experienced in June. We continue to diligently work with customers to resolve and reduce billing delays and improve collection timing, while also pursuing further automation opportunities within our billing processes designed to reduce our DSO. We expect these initiatives to support incremental working capital improvements during the second half of the year. Capital expenditures year-to-date were $24.7 million, with $12.7 million of that commitment specific to ECHO rigs and the remainder allocated largely to maintenance CapEx. For the year, we believe total CapEx will be approximately $50 million, with approximately $23 million of that ECHO payment related and dependent on rig deliveries through year end. Free cash flow for the quarter was a healthy $20 million, supported by cash provided by operating activities for the quarter of $26.4 million.
Year-to-date, free cash flow is neutral given the build in working capital early in the year and spend on the ECHO fleet. We do expect further working capital releases in the back half of 2026 to support further debt paydown and strategic opportunities. We used our free cash flow generated this quarter to fund more than $4.5 million of share repurchases during the second quarter and bought back 282,900 shares at attractive prices. As of June 30th, total liquidity remained healthy at $61.3 million, comprised of $57.1 million available revolver capacity and $4.2 million of cash on hand. I'll turn the call back over to Stuart for closing remarks.
We thank everyone for joining us today. This quarter was gratifying for the whole team here at Ranger. Surpassing $25 million of adjusted EBITDA was a benchmark run rate for us post-acquisition, and we handily beat it. Additionally, our Wireline group and some of our Ancillary Services lines, including Coil Tubing, P&A, and Torrent, posted incredibly strong results.Ranger's second quarter underscores, yet again, our operational resilience and ability to grow our business and create ever more differentiation while producing good cash flows and allocating capital wisely. We look forward to updating you again in November. With that, operator, let's open up the line for questions.
We will now begin the question-and-answer session. To ask a question, you may press star then one on your telephone keypad. If you are using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. To withdraw your question, please press star then two. At this time, we will pause momentarily to assemble our roster. Our first question today comes from Don Crist with Johnson Rice. Please go ahead.
Morning, guys. Hopefully, y'all doing well this morning.
Thanks, Don. How are you?
I'm doing well. I wanted to start with workover rig segment. We're hearing a lot more anecdotes around the industry that the E&Ps think that oil prices are gonna be higher for longer, and they're starting to look towards 2027 for increased activity, et cetera. Just wanted to see your macro thoughts on that and how the business is developing now with more 24-hour work and weekend work than we've seen in months and quarters past. Just anything along those lines.
Yeah, thanks for the question, Don. I think we share that view, that as you move into 2027, just as the forward curve is strengthening the back part, that we'll see an increase. I'm not sure it's translated at the moment into meaningful changes from our customers. It'll be interesting to see how things develop when they pour budgets. I'd say what we're seeing right now is an increase in smaller programs, right? Us filling up white space, which is helping just with utilization. I don't think we've seen enough change yet to meaningfully add capacity into the market. I think we're watching pretty closely as we move into budgeting season.
Okay. Then on the ECHO rig program, I know you were spooling up with your vendor to try to hit a goal of certain amount of rigs per month. Just any updates on where you are with that process and with the 18 rigs on order, obviously two of them are doing field testing right now. Are you on a run rate of one or two per month coming out that we should see for the back half of the year and through 2027?
I think that's right. That's right, Don. We have two in the field that are working right now. Those are the first two that went out. The two we referenced in the script are two from the contract that we announced earlier in the year. When those two go into the field at the end of Q3, that'd be four in the field. I think that's right. We announced 15 earlier this year. We would think those would all be deployed by the end of next year, so that gets you to 17. Yeah, that's about right. We think one-ish a month is a pretty good run rate. We're on track with that right now. Then obviously, we had the additional contract for three more. There are now a total of 23 under contract.
Okay. Those should be incremental to your rig count, not displace current rigs, right?
It's one of the things that we're working through right now to see. I think we are getting increasingly confident that a lot of these will be additive, but we do expect to see some kind of modest shuffling. That's one of the things the teams are working on right now, is to reallocate those rigs.
Okay. I will turn it back to the operator and get back in queue. Thanks for the answers.
All right. Appreciate it, Don.
The next question is from Derek Podhaizer with Piper Sandler. Please go ahead.
Hey, good morning, guys. Maybe sticking on ECHO and just trying to think through the prepayments and how they affect the margin. I know margins came off a little bit in high specs. Got a couple things weighing on those, but maybe could you help educate us, just as far as the margins attached with ECHO as you get these things out, how we should think about that? Accretive, dilutive, I know there's some funky things with the prepayments now. It impacts the cash flow into the P&L. Maybe just help around that, how we should think about these margins as you continue to ramp up ECHO.
Yeah, no, it's a good question, Derek. We'll have a little bit of additional clarity coming out in the updated investor presentation coming out today. The best guidance we can give you for now is it's largely going to be unnoticeable. We will end up adjusting back out the amortization of the upfront payments, so it will, in essence, lift revenue, but it will not lift EBITDA, being as it's a non-cash item over the longer term. That said, as the premium day rates come into play, to the extent there are those on contracts, those would potentially have margin uplift effect because they're being billed and they're cash items being collected real time.
What we committed to the community writ large was that as that started to play out and it became noticeable and started to quantify 50 basis points of margin, et cetera, we will give you quarter-to-quarter updates on that. For right now, it's largely a muted, no impact effect.
Got it. Okay. That's super helpful. Thanks, Melissa. Then you had a line in the press release talking about potentially stepping out with new service lines through advantageous acquisitions that position you well for the future. Stuart, maybe just if you could talk to that, what you're seeing, if it's some of the stuff you got from AWS, some of the stuff you're growing organically like Torrent, or other items that you're targeting as you think about how the shape of the recovery in the future of your business. Maybe just some thoughts around what you're seeing in M&A and just talk to that line you had in the press release.
Yeah, thanks for the question, Derek. In Antero, in general, we were really pretty pleased with how the quarter went, and the outlook. As you kind of referenced, Coil, P&A, Torrent. Torrent's our infield gas processing, all had really strong quarters. Some of the service lines we picked up in AWS, we picked up a mixing plant business, we picked up a trucking business, we picked up a tubing inspection business. I would say some of those were a little bit mixed. Some were quite strong, some were less strong, and I think that's kind of where we're focused, is getting those more consistent. There's a couple in there that we really like the margin profile, and I think we just want to be confident that we see sustained demand before we kind of meaningfully lean into it.
Hopefully that kind of gives you a sense of what we're thinking. I think there might've been a question in there about the M&A, kind of what we're looking at going forward. I don't think it would surprise you to say that we're looking at a number of things, but generally they're by and large in line with things that service lines we currently have.
Okay, got it. Maybe just a little bit more on Torrent. I know that's kind of an interesting business you have as far as potential attachment to some power generations out there. It sounds like it had a really good quarter, maybe some of the drivers of that and how you're thinking about that business longer term.
Yeah. We were, again, pretty excited about how it came out. I think how we've been thinking about it, and you're exactly right. Infield gas processing, we are cleaning up gas streams and knocking out the liquids of gas streams that can't get into permanent processing facilities. You can kind of imagine about the types of fields where that occurs. We're definitely seeing an uptick in demand. I think how we're thinking about it is we want to see, again, I think, how do we think about the longer term outlook into sort of getting to sustained full utilization? We're not quite there yet. Again, I think we're trying to be thoughtful about it, and see where we can meaningfully invest. At the moment, I think we're most focused on getting out our existing equipment.
Okay, great. Appreciate all the comments, guys. Turn it back.
Yeah, thanks, Derek.
Thank you.
Again, if you have a question, please press star then one. The next question is from John Daniel with Daniel Energy Partners. Please go ahead.
Hey, good morning, Stuart, Melissa. Thanks for including me. Congrats on the ECHO contract. My question is, when you look at the companies like the Chevrons of the world, they're running dozens upon dozens of workover rigs across the country. Do you envision a scenario or a point in time where they might make a complete shift to ECHO type technology?
Yeah, I'll start, Melissa can chime in. I'll give you maybe just some kind of the flavor of the conversations that we have with them. I think they're still trying to determine that, to be honest, John. I think we've heard some where some of the larger players have indicated they might want a certain base load to be electric rigs, right? If they kind of think about, hey, under almost any kind of long-term commodity price scenario, they're gonna run X rigs, and they want X to be electric or hybrid rigs, and then they'll kind of flex with conventional rigs on top of that. We've heard some people want to make a kind of more aggressive shift than that, I think everybody's really just trying to figure it out right now.
I would kind of reiterate that we're pretty encouraged by the demand and the conversations we're having right now. I misspoke slightly earlier. We're at 20 under contract right now. I don't think we'd be surprised to see more come under contract in the next kind of nine to 12 months.
I would only add to Stuart's comments that I think a lot of the dependency is really on how these rigs start, because we've only had two, and the only other electric workover rig out there, I think there's five. They've only really got two years of runtime.
Right.
They don't have the same sort of economic value proposition that a frac had. I think a lot of the dependency will be sort of over time, how meaningfully do safety statistics move, and frankly, efficiency statistics. To the extent the efficiencies that we believe will ultimately mature within the electric workover rig, as they come to pass, the likelihood is adoption kind of continues to increase.
Okay. I'm not looking for names with this question, I would suspect the incremental orders you get in the near term would be more with existing customers. Assuming that's true, when would you anticipate some of the independent operators really kicking the tires?
I'd say we have a couple independents that are kicking tires, I would say it's kind of early days.
Yeah.
I think how I would answer the question is kind of going back to Melissa's comments, is I think when there is a established track record of safety improvement, efficiency gains, that I think it will be easier for some of the smaller players to then point to it right now.
Right.
All of the early signs are really encouraging, at least I think my informal conversations is they want a kind of a longer track record, the smaller players.
Okay. Very helpful. Final one, if I may, is just your latest thoughts on the U.S. Coil Tubing market. I'll turn it back over. What you're seeing?
Yeah. Coil Tubing for us was a really strong quarter. We are focused in the Rockies.
Right.
Again, I think we were pretty encouraged by what we saw there. It's not a surprise that as drilling rig count is starting to tick up and frac count is slowly ticking up, that Coil would follow. Again, we're pretty happy with the quarter we saw.
Okay. Thank you very much.
All right.
Thank you so much.
This concludes our question-and-answer session. I would like to turn the conference back over to Stuart Bodden for any closing remarks.
Again, thank you everyone for joining us today. We appreciate it. We look forward to speaking to you in November. Take care, everyone.
The conference is now concluded. Thank you for attending today's presentation. You may now disconnect.

Ranger Energy (RNGR) Q2 Earnings and Revenues Miss Estimates
Ranger Energy (RNGR) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.12 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.3 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.32 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items. This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -60.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this company would post earnings of $0.36 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.12, delivering a surprise of -66.67%. Over the last four quarters, the company has not been able to surpass consensus EPS estimates. Ranger Energy, which belongs to the Zacks Oil and Gas - Field Services industry, posted revenues of $159.1 million for the quarter ended June 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.19%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $140.6 million. The company has not been able to beat consensus revenue estimates over the last four quarters. The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call. Ranger Energy shares have added about 12.4% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.3%. While Ranger Energy has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock? There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately. Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions. Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Ranger Energy was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock.

HOUSTON, July 27, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ranger Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: RNGR) ("Ranger" or the "Company") today reported its financial and operational results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026. Second Quarter 2026 Financial and Operational Highlights Revenue of $176.5 million, compared to $159.1 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $140.6 million in the second quarter of 2025 Net income of $6.9 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $3.0 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2026 and $7.3 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025 Adjusted EBITDA(1) of $28.6 million, representing an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 16.2%, compared to $23.3 million and 14.6% in the first quarter of 2026 and $20.6 million and 14.7% in the second quarter of 2025 Significant share repurchases during the quarter of 282,900 shares at an average repurchase price of $15.84 per share, supported by Free Cash Flow(2) for the quarter of $20.0 million Management Commentary Stuart Bodden, Ranger’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, "During the second quarter, Ranger built on the momentum from our first quarter results and delivered another quarter of sequential topline growth across segments, EBITDA and margin expansion with meaningful cash flows. The breadth of improvement reflects the continued strong execution across our operations teams while the AWS business approaches full integration into the organization and our legacy business continues to benefit from steadily improving customer activity and longer summer days. Overall, quarter over quarter, our topline expanded over 10% with EBITDA growing by more than 22%.

Recently, we also announced an award for three additional ECHO rigs to be built with Chevron, one of our core customers, and we are excited about the continued build out of our next generation fleet with differentiated technology. We see interest out there for additional ECHO rig deployments and foresee incremental announcements in future quarters as market adoption develops. "The expanded Ancillary segment once again outperformed as new service lines from the AWS acquisition continued to gain traction and contribute to profitability. Our Plug and Abandonment service line saw strong expansion of activity with recent contract awards while Torrent and Coil Tubing service lines also outperformed expectations. Most Ancillary service lines experienced activity expansion in the quarter with improved profitability, and we are evaluating which lines could benefit from additional investment in the future. "Specific to the Wireline segment, we are proud of our operations team and the recovery they have facilitated in that segment over the past few quarters. This quarter was a breakout financially benefitting from stronger activity levels across service lines and a multi-well contract award resulting in a strong Adjusted EBITDA contribution. The team is beginning to demonstrate the ability to respond to oscillating activity levels more successfully, and we are more encouraged when we look at this segment over the longer term. That said, some contract activity has been completed for the year and we expect that the back half of 2026 will see reductions in activity and more modest profitability as a consequence. "As we look to the second half of 2026, we are increasingly optimistic about the long term prospects for the Ranger business. Our opportunity set remains strong with multiple paths of growth in front of us to invest in high-return opportunities, including the continued build-out of our ECHO Hybrid Electric Rig fleet, expanding our already strong presence in well services and potentially stepping out with new service lines through advantageous acquisitions that position us well in the future. The Ranger team remains committed to investing with a disciplined capital allocation mindset and will continue to return capital to shareholders, just as we did this past quarter, while maintaining unparalleled financial strength. Our view remains unchanged, namely that Ranger is well positioned to capitalize on the continued demand for US energy resources, enabling us to generate durable, long-term value for our shareholders." CAPITAL RETURNS UPDATE During the second quarter of 2026, the Company repurchased 282,900 shares of stock for a total value of $4.5 million, net of tax, at an average price of $15.84 per share. Since the inception of the share repurchase program in 2023 through the end of the second quarter of 2026, the Company has repurchased a total of 4,641,800 shares, for a total value of $52.1 million, net of tax at an average repurchase price of $11.17 per share. Additionally, today the Ranger Board of Directors declared this quarter’s cash dividend of $0.06 per share payable on August 21, 2026, to common stockholders of record at the close of business on August 7, 2026, reinforcing our commitment to a consistent return of capital each and every quarter. PERFORMANCE SUMMARY Second quarter 2026 revenue was $176.5 million, an increase of $17.4 million from the first quarter of 2026 and an increase of $35.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2025. The sequential increase primarily reflects expanding activity levels, while the year over year increase primarily reflects the contribution of the AWS business. Cost of services was $142.7 million, or 81% of revenue, in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $115.0 million, or 82% of revenue, in the prior year period, and $130.6 million in the first quarter of 2026, also reflecting the consolidation of AWS in the more recent periods. General and administrative expenses were $7.6 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to $7.8 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2025. Both the first and second quarter of 2026 included additional expenses related to the acquisition of AWS. Net income for the second quarter of 2026 was $6.9 million, compared to $3.0 million in the first quarter of 2026 and $7.3 million in the second quarter of 2025. Fully diluted earnings per share was $0.29 for the second quarter of 2026, compared to $0.12 in the prior quarter and $0.32 in the prior year period. Second quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $28.6 million, an increase of $5.3 million from $23.3 million in the first quarter of 2026, and an increase of $8.0 million from $20.6 million in the second quarter of 2025. The improvement relative to both comparison periods was driven by stronger revenue and margins in the High Specification Rigs and Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services segments with inclusion of operating results from AWS as well as a profitable quarter in the Wireline segment. BUSINESS SEGMENT FINANCIAL RESULTS High Specification Rigs High Specification Rigs segment revenue was $113.4 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $4.3 million from $109.1 million in the first quarter of 2026 and an increase of $27.1 million from $86.3 million in the prior year period. Rig hours increased 1% sequentially to 146,800 from 145,400, and increased 25% year over year from 117,000. Hourly rig rates increased modestly, rising 6% sequentially to $772 per hour from $731, and 5% year over year from $738, largely reflecting the pass through of fuel surcharges as well as certain changes in asset and regional revenue mix. Segment operating income was $11.2 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $0.8 million, or 8%, from $10.4 million in the prior quarter, and a decrease of $0.8 million, or 7%, from $12.0 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $20.6 million, down from $21.4 million in the first quarter of 2026 and up from $17.6 million in the second quarter of 2025. The quarter was negatively affected by a unique $750,000 audit levy assessed by a state taxing authority related to prior years that is currently under dispute. Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services Processing Solutions and Ancillary Services segment revenue was $44.5 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $5.1 million, or 13%, from $39.4 million in the first quarter of 2026, and an increase of $12.3 million, or 38%, from $32.2 million in the prior year period. The improvement relative to both comparison periods was primarily attributable to higher operating activity across several service lines, with the most significant contribution coming from ancillary solutions acquired in the AWS transaction. Segment operating income was $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2026, an improvement from $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2026 and from $4.5 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $10.0 million, an increase from $7.7 million in the first quarter of 2026 and an increase from $6.6 million in the second quarter of 2025. Wireline Services Wireline Services segment revenue was $18.6 million in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of $8.0 million, or 75%, from $10.6 million in the first quarter of 2026, and a decrease of $3.5 million, or 16%, from $22.1 million in the prior year period. Wireline Completions reported 2,560 completed stages in the second quarter of 2026, an increase of 246% from 740 in the first quarter of 2026 and an increase of 2% from 2,500 stages in the second quarter of 2025. The sequential increase in revenue and completed stages reflects new contract activity completed during the quarter, while the year over year decrease in revenue reflects changes in customer and job mix to drive towards more profitability. Contribution from Pump Down and Conventional Production lines during the quarter significantly improved from the prior quarter as warmer months and longer days arrived supported by improved sales and bidding processes instituted earlier in the year. Segment operating income was $1.0 million in the second quarter of 2026, an improvement of $3.4 million from an operating loss of $2.4 million in the first quarter of 2026, and improved from an operating loss of $1.2 million in the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA(1) was $3.6 million, an increase from $0.2 million in the first quarter of 2026 and an increase from $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2025. The improved operating income and Adjusted EBITDA reflect higher activity across service lines and strong operating leverage with improved efficiency. BALANCE SHEET, CASH FLOW AND LIQUIDITY As of June 30, 2026, the Company had total liquidity of $61.3 million, consisting of $57.1 million of available capacity under its revolving credit facility and $4.2 million of cash on hand. This compares to total liquidity of $67.7 million as of December 31, 2025, consisting of $57.4 million of revolving credit facility capacity and $10.3 million of cash. The reduction in liquidity reflects a buildup of working capital through the early part of the year from certain customers. Cash provided by Operating Activities was $26.4 million for the quarter and $23.0 million year to date in 2026. Free Cash Flow for the quarter was $20.0 million while for the 2026 year to date period it is negative $1.7 million, a decrease from $17.8 million in the prior year period. This decrease has been driven by a growing accounts receivable and contract assets balance resulting from continued customer payment delays and process lags. The Company had capital expenditures of $24.7 million for year to date 2026, an increase from $13.5 million in the prior year period. Approximately $12.7 million of capital expenditures year to date are related to our ECHO rig program milestone payments associated with the construction of the hybrid rigs to be delivered in future periods.

RANGER ENERGY SERVICES, INC. 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 expense, depreciation and amortization, equity‑based compensation, acquisition‑related costs, severance and reorganization costs, gain on sale of assets, significant and unusual legal fees and settlements, impairment of assets, employee retention credit, inventory adjustment, and certain other non‑cash and certain other 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: View source version on businesswire.com: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260727738006/en/ Contacts Investor Contact: Melissa CougleExecutive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer(713) [email protected]

Ranger Energy Services Inc (NYSE:RNGR) reported strong financial performance with total revenue of $159.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of $23.3 million, showing growth both sequentially and year-over-year. The company successfully integrated AWS businesses and advanced its ECHO hybrid rig program, which is expected to deliver improved efficiency and lower emissions. High-spec rigs delivered strong results, with increased revenue driven by improved utilization and resilient pricing. The ancillary services segment showed solid growth, with revenue and profitability increasing due to higher activity and the inclusion of AWS offerings. Ranger's business model is well-suited to the current market environment, focusing on workover, maintenance, and production optimization services, which are essential and cost-effective. The severe winter storm in January temporarily disrupted activity, particularly in the Permian Basin, affecting the start of the quarter. There was slight margin pressure due to higher levels of white space earlier in the quarter and maintenance-related expenses. Free cash flow for the first-quarter was negative $21.7 million, primarily due to working capital timing issues. Capital expenditures increased significantly to $18.3 million, driven by milestone payments related to the ECHO hybrid rig build-out program. The company faced challenges with working capital due to customer billing blackout periods and transition-related billing changes. Q: How is the current oil market environment affecting customer behavior and activity levels? A: Stuart Bodden, CEO, noted that while larger customers remain disciplined, there is increased interest and inbound inquiries. Smaller operators are showing more activity, particularly in accelerating barrels through workover programs. The company exited the quarter strongly, and this positive trend has continued into April. Q: Is there any slack in the system, or is Ranger considering reactivating rigs to meet demand? A: Stuart Bodden, CEO, mentioned that while there is a little slack, they are nearing the point where they will need to hire crews and add capacity to meet new demand. Q: Can you elaborate on the working capital build this quarter and its expected resolution? A: Melissa Cougle, CFO, explained that the negative cash flow was due to a substantial billing blackout by a major customer and integration-related billing changes. They expect working capital levels to normalize over the next two quarters, with significant improvement anticipated in Q2 and Q3. Q: How does the current market outlook impact Ranger's strategy, particularly regarding consolidation and ECHO new builds? A: Stuart Bodden, CEO, stated that while there won't be a massive shift in strategy, they are more confident and aggressive on the margin. The ECHO program is expected to be additive, and they are naturally adding capacity with these rigs. Q: Are there any supply chain issues affecting Ranger's operations? A: Stuart Bodden, CEO, indicated that Ranger is not currently experiencing supply chain issues. However, he anticipates potential labor tightness in the future.

Ranger Energy Services Q1 Earnings Call Highlights
Solid Q1 results despite weather: Ranger reported revenue of $159.1M and adjusted EBITDA of $23.3M, saying the quarter rebounded after Winter Storm Fern and exited with stronger utilization and momentum into April. High-spec rigs and ECHO driving performance: The high-spec rig segment led growth with margins above 20% and a rig rate expanded to $731/hour, while the ECHO hybrid-electric rigs—already deployed—show "impressive" early results and are expected to be additive capacity. Working-capital hit and constrained near-term cash flow: Free cash flow was negative $21.7M mainly from working-capital timing and ERP transition effects, leaving total liquidity of $42.5M, with management expecting gradual normalization across Q2–Q3. Interested in Ranger Energy Services, Inc.? Here are five stocks we like better. Ranger Energy Services (NYSE:RNGR) reported first-quarter 2026 results marked by year-over-year growth and improving momentum late in the quarter, even as operations were disrupted early on by severe winter weather. On the company’s earnings call, executives said activity rebounded in February and March after Winter Storm Fern temporarily slowed work across regions, particularly in the Permian Basin. CEO Stuart Bodden said the quarter “began sluggishly but finished with strong momentum,” adding that the improved cadence continued into April. Ranger reported total revenue of $159.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of $23.3 million for the first quarter, which Bodden characterized as “solid financial results with meaningful year-over-year growth.” → Homebuilder Earnings: D.R. Horton Sticks Out as Pulte & NVR Sales Tank While the storm created several days of downtime in January, Bodden said utilization improved as conditions normalized, and the company exited the quarter with “stronger utilization and improving operating cadence.” The high-spec rigs segment again served as the company’s largest contributor. Bodden said segment revenue increased sequentially and year-over-year, supported by a full quarter of legacy AWS rigs, improved utilization across the legacy Ranger fleet, and “resilient pricing.” → Meta Platforms Earnings Preview: What to Watch in Q1 2026 Report He noted some margin pressure from “higher levels of white space earlier in the quarter and some maintenance-related expenses,” but said segment margins remained “over 20%” and are expected to improve…Read full documentShow less

Bodden also highlighted an “expansion of our rig rate to $731 per hour.” CFO Melissa Cougle provided additional detail, reporting high-spec rig segment revenue of $106.2 million versus $92.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2025. Rig hours totaled about 145,400, up from 128,500 in the prior quarter and 115,700 in the first quarter of 2025. Segment adjusted EBITDA was $21.4 million, compared with $19.6 million in the fourth quarter and $17.4 million a year earlier. Cougle said margins remained above 20% due to “solid execution, cost discipline, and operating leverage.” → Palantir Is Down 30%: Noise? Or a Signal to Accumulate? Management reiterated that integrating the AWS businesses remains a key priority, with Bodden saying integration progressed well and Ranger is already seeing early benefits from combining acquired assets with its platform. Ranger also discussed continued progress on its ECHO hybrid electric rig program. Bodden said construction activity is underway and advancing as planned, and that the first ECHO rigs deployed in late 2025 are currently operating in the field with “impressive” early results, including “a high amount of productive time” and positive customer feedback. He said the company views ECHO as a differentiator, citing improved efficiency, lower fuel consumption, and emissions benefits for customers. In the Q&A, Bodden said Ranger has become “more and more confident” the ECHO rigs will be “additive” capacity rather than displacing existing equipment, which he described as potentially meaningful for the business. Bodden said ancillary services continued to grow in strategic importance, with opportunities to expand through cross-selling, utilization improvements, and leveraging customer relationships. He highlighted progress within several service lines, including the P&A group beginning work under a recently awarded Texas Railroad Commission contract. Bodden said the work is progressing well and helps diversify the revenue base. He also called the tubing, rental, and inspection business acquired in the fall “a bright spot,” saying it has capacity to grow with minimal capital and strong incremental margins. On wireline, Bodden said the company was “particularly pleased” by improved stability and performance, noting that Ranger has historically struggled to generate positive adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter due to winter weather and the business’ more northern exposure. He said activity improved meaningfully in March and the segment exited the quarter with “respectable margins.” Cougle reported processing solutions and ancillary services segment revenue of $42.3 million, up from $37.5 million in the fourth quarter and $30.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. Segment adjusted EBITDA was $8.0 million, up from $6.2 million sequentially and $5.6 million a year earlier, reflecting higher activity and continued ramp of AWS-acquired services. Wireline services segment revenue was $10.6 million. Cougle said the segment was essentially break-even on adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter, compared with an adjusted EBITDA loss of $2.3 million in the prior year period. Cougle said Ranger posted net income of $3.0 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, compared with $600,000, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 14.6% versus 14.3% in the fourth quarter and 11.5% a year ago. She also noted general and administrative expense of $7.8 million, down from $8.9 million in the fourth quarter due to elevated AWS transaction-related costs in the prior period. Free cash flow was negative $21.7 million, compared with positive $3.4 million in the first quarter of 2025. Cougle attributed the change primarily to working capital timing issues, including accounts receivable build tied to a customer’s billing blackout period at year-end, billing changes and new price books for the legacy AWS business, and temporary impacts from transitioning to Ranger’s ERP system. In response to an analyst question, Cougle said the company expected gradual normalization over the next two quarters, with ERP go-live effects continuing to be challenging for about a month after April 1. She said she expected days sales outstanding to improve in May and June, adding, “I don't think you'll see everything get back to normal by the end of Q2, but I think we'll see a lot of normalization in Q2, and then we'll pick the final piece of it up in Q3.” She also noted Ranger chose late in the quarter to clear open accounts payable ahead of moving the AWS organization into Ranger, which created a near-term working capital hit but was viewed as beneficial for the transition. Capital expenditures were $18.3 million in the quarter versus $7.2 million in the prior-year quarter, driven primarily by milestone payments for the ECHO rig build-out. Cougle also said Ranger received a large upfront contribution from a key customer related to ECHO, which increased liabilities on the balance sheet and will be recognized as revenue over the life of the contract. As of March 31, 2026, Ranger reported total liquidity of $42.5 million, consisting of $35.6 million of revolver availability and $6.9 million in cash. Looking ahead, Bodden said customer sentiment improved modestly during the quarter as crude oil futures strengthened and geopolitical developments influenced the market. However, he told analysts the company’s largest customers remained “fairly disciplined,” with increases more visible “on the margins” among smaller operators looking to accelerate production through workovers. Bodden said Ranger is nearing the point where meeting incremental demand could require reactivating rigs and hiring additional crews, while adding that the company has not experienced supply chain constraints but could see labor tightness emerge again in coming quarters.
