Ranger Oil Corporation Reports Second Quarter Results

Achieved high-end of sales volumes guidance
Closed additional bolt-on acquisitions and updated share repurchase progress
Increased full-year 2022 sales volumes outlook and updated capital guidance

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / August 2, 2022 / Ranger Oil Corporation ("Ranger" or the "Company") (Nasdaq:ROCC) today announced financial and operational results for the second quarter of 2022.

Second Quarter Highlights:

  • Achieved upper-end of quarterly sales guidance with total sales of 38.5 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day ("Mboe/d") and crude oil sales of 27.5 thousand barrels per day ("Mbbl/d")
  • Posted net income of $148.0 million and adjusted net income1 of $120.4 million
  • Generated adjusted EBITDAX1 of $189.8 million and net cash provided by operating activities of $165.0 million
  • Produced pro forma adjusted free cash flow1 of $61.6 million
  • Drilling and completion ("D&C") capital expenditures were $122.1 million
  • Strong second quarter sales volumes, recent acquisitions and increased activity associated with the acquisitions have allowed the Company to increase the mid-point of its full-year 2022 total sales volumes outlook by more than 1.2 Mboe/d
  • Recently closed additional bolt-on transactions, bringing year-to-date acquisitions in the Eagle Ford to eight transactions with initial purchase prices totaling approximately $139 million, subject to customary adjustments. The transactions, which closed late in the second quarter and early in the third quarter, added current production, approximately 20,000 net acres and additional high-return development opportunities
  • As of July 29, 2022, approximately $46 million had been returned to shareholders through share repurchases since program initiation in May 2022
  • Continued strengthening of capital structure with a leverage ratio2 of approximately 0.8x at quarter-end, incorporating approximately $50 million reduction in total net debt1 since year-end 2021

"We continue to perform exceptionally well year-to-date, generating significant free cash flow through disciplined investments while capturing numerous accretive bolt-ons that are expected to add value for years to come," said Ranger President and CEO, Darrin Henke. "For the second quarter, our capital investments remained on track and our sales volumes were at the high-end of our guidance. During the quarter, we were able to expand our cash return framework as we reloaded and extended our share buyback program and initiated our first quarterly dividend. We have significantly increased our cash flow through both organic growth and strategic consolidation while simultaneously decreasing our share count and leverage. This has resulted in significant growth in cash-on-cash returns for our investors."

Second Quarter 2022 Financial and Operating Results

Ranger reported a second quarter 2022 net income of $148.0 million. Adjusted net income1 was $120.4 million for the second quarter of 2022. Ranger posted adjusted EBITDAX1 of $189.8 million, net cash provided by operating activities of $165.0 million and generated pro forma adjusted free cash flow1 of $61.6 million during the quarter.

Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2022 were $109.2 million, or $31.20 per boe. Adjusted direct operating expenses1 were $52.5 million, or $14.98 per boe, in the second quarter of 2022 which consist of lease operating expenses ("LOE"), gathering, processing and transportation expenses ("GPT"), production and ad valorem taxes, and adjusted cash general and administrative expenses1 ("G&A"), excluding depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") and significant special charges. A breakdown of operating expenses, as well as guidance for the remainder of the year, can be found in additional tables included in this release.

Total sales volumes for the second quarter of 2022 were at the upper-end of Ranger's guidance at 38.5 Mboe/d (71% crude oil/86% liquids). Oil sales during the quarter were 27.5 Mbbl/d, also toward the high-end of Ranger's previous guidance (26.6 - 27.8 Mbbl/d).

Expanded Shareholder Return Program

Ranger recently expanded its cash return framework for shareholders, increasing its share buyback authorization and declaring a cash dividend.

  • As of July 29, 2022, Ranger has repurchased approximately $46 million (1.35 million shares) of its Class A common stock, or more than 3% of total equity outstanding, at an average price of approximately $33.67 per share.
  • In early July, Ranger's Board of Directors increased its share repurchase authorization by $40 million to $140 million and extended the program term through June 30, 2023.
  • The Board declared an inaugural cash dividend of $0.075 per share of Class A common stock, payable August 4, 2022 to Class A common stockholders of record as of the close of business on July 25, 2022.

2022 Outlook

Along with the increase in anticipated sales volumes for 2022 noted above, Ranger expects its capital expenditures for the original 2022 development plan ("Initial D&C") to remain within the previously announced range at approximately $425 million, due to the Company effectively managing the ongoing inflationary environment. In addition, as a result of sustained operating efficiencies driving accelerated development activity, combined with increased working interests and longer laterals following recent bolt-ons, Ranger is increasing its capital expenditures outlook by an incremental $30 million ("Incremental D&C"). The Incremental D&C is expected to benefit future sales volumes and increase development efficiencies.

Ranger's third quarter capital expenditure guidance reflects its temporary use of a third drilling rig, which is developing assets located in LaSalle County, approximately 180 miles southwest of Ranger's development activity in Gonzales and Lavaca counties. After the wells in LaSalle are completed, which is anticipated to conclude in the third quarter, Ranger expects to maintain a two-rig development pace in the fourth quarter. The Company is considering adding a third rig to its development program in early 2023 based on its decreasing leverage, increased acreage position, and the strong projected returns and free cash flow generated by its deep inventory at current commodity prices. This potential increase in activity would create additional momentum in early 2023 and significantly benefit full-year 2023 sales volumes.

The table below sets forth the Company's updated operational and financial guidance for the third quarter and full-year 2022 as well as a summary of prior guidance as reported in March and May 2022:

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

As of June 30, 2022, Ranger had $400 million of senior unsecured notes and approximately $137 million drawn, net of cash, on its revolving credit facility. This represents a reduction in net debt1 from year-end 2021 to June 30, 2022 of approximately $50 million. The Company's borrowing base under its revolving credit facility was recently increased to $875 million, with elected commitments of $400 million. Ranger is currently undergoing an additional borrowing base redetermination to reflect the Company's recent increase in producing reserves and bolt-on acquisitions.

CERTAIN NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

Readers are reminded that non-GAAP measures are merely a supplement to, and not a replacement for, or superior to financial measures prepared according to GAAP. They should be evaluated in conjunction with the GAAP financial measures. It should be noted as well that our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies.

Reconciliation of GAAP "Realized prices" to Non-GAAP "Realized prices, including effects of derivatives, net"

We present our realized prices for crude oil, natural gas and aggregate (including crude oil, NGLs and natural gas), as adjusted for the effects of derivatives, net as we believe these measures are useful to management and stakeholders in determining the effectiveness of our price-risk management program that is designed to reduce the volatility associated with our operations. Realized prices for crude oil, NGLs, natural gas and aggregate, as adjusted for the effects of derivatives, net, are supplemental financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The following table presents the calculation of our non-GAAP realized prices for crude oil, NGLs, natural gas and aggregate, as adjusted for the effects of derivatives, net and reconciles to realized prices for crude oil, NGLs, natural gas and aggregate determined in accordance with GAAP:

Reconciliation of GAAP "Net income (loss)" to Non-GAAP "Adjusted net income"

Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents net income (loss) adjusted to include net realized settlements of derivatives and exclude the effects, net of income taxes, of non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives, impairments of oil and gas properties, the effects of gains and losses on the sales of assets, (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, acquisition, integration and strategic transaction costs, and organizational restructuring costs, including severance. We believe that non-GAAP adjusted net income provides meaningful supplemental information regarding our operational performance. This information facilitates management's internal comparisons to the Company's historical operating results as well as to the operating results of our competitors. Since management finds this measure to be useful, the Company believes that our investors can benefit by evaluating both non-GAAP and GAAP results. Adjusted net income is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net income (loss).

Reconciliation of GAAP "Net income (loss)" to Non-GAAP "Adjusted EBITDAX" - Actual

Adjusted EBITDAX represents net income (loss) before (gain) loss on extinguishment of debt, interest expense, income taxes, impairments of oil and gas properties, depreciation, depletion and amortization expense and share-based compensation expense, further adjusted to include the net commodity realized settlements of derivatives and exclude the effects of gains and losses on sales of assets, non-cash changes in the fair value of derivatives, and special items including acquisition, integration and strategic transaction costs, and organizational restructuring costs, including severance. We believe this presentation is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts for the valuation, comparison, rating, investment recommendations of companies within the oil and gas exploration and production industry. We use this information for comparative purposes within our industry. Adjusted EBITDAX is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as a measure of liquidity or as an alternative to net income (loss). Adjusted EBITDAX as defined by Ranger Oil may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and should be considered in conjunction with net income (loss) and other measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as operating income or cash flows from operating activities. Adjusted EBITDAX should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of Ranger Oil's results as reported under GAAP.

Reconciliation of GAAP "Operating expenses" to Non-GAAP "Adjusted direct operating expenses and Adjusted direct operating expenses per boe"

Adjusted direct operating expenses and adjusted direct operating expenses per boe are supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that exclude certain non-recurring expenses and non-cash expenses. We believe that the non-GAAP measure of Adjusted total direct operating expense per boe is useful to investors because it provides readers with a meaningful measure of our cost profile and provides for greater comparability period-over-period.

Definition and Explanation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow

Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that management believes illustrates our ability to generate cash flows from our business that are available to be returned to our providers of financing capital. Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities (a GAAP measure), adjusted for: gains (losses) on extinguishment of debt, cash and deposits paid for acquisitions (net of cash acquired), cash paid for capital expenditures, cash proceeds from sales of assets, (discounts) premiums associated with proceeds of debt offerings, assumption (repayments) of acquired and other debt, proceeds from noncontrolling interests (net of transaction/issuance costs paid), share repurchases, withholding taxes for share-based compensation and debt issuance costs paid. Pro Forma Adjusted Free Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted Free Cash Flow and includes changes to beginning Net debt to incorporate the effects of the Lonestar Acquisition and share repurchases and cash and deposits paid for acquisitions. We believe Adjusted Free Cash Flow is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts for the valuation, comparison, rating, investment recommendations of companies in many industries. Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Pro Forma Adjusted Free Cash Flow should be considered as a supplement to net income as a measure of performance and net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

2 Net debt at the beginning of the period has been adjusted for the net cash effects of the Lonestar Acquisition. See the following table for adjustments to Net debt.

Net Debt

Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as total principal amount of long-term debt, excluding unamortized discount and debt issuance costs, less cash and cash equivalents. Long-term debt excludes non-recourse mortgage debt assumed with the Lonestar Acquisition. The most comparable financial measure to Net debt under GAAP is principal amount of long-term debt. Net debt is used by management as a measure of our financial leverage. Net debt should not be used by investors or others as the sole basis in formulating investment decisions as it does not represent the Company's actual indebtedness.
