DocumentRanger Oil Reports Third Quarter 2021 Results
Generates Eighth Consecutive Quarter of Free Cash Flow ---
--- Anticipates Continued Growth in Cash Flow with Low Leverage ---
HOUSTON, November 3, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ranger Oil Corporation ("Ranger" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: ROCC) today announced its financial and operational results for the third quarter 2021.
Recent Significant Highlights
The operational and financial results below do not include the Lonestar Resources US Inc. (“Lonestar”) acquisition which closed October 5, 2021, unless otherwise noted.
•Rebranded the Company as Ranger Oil Corporation;
•Ranger’s Board Member Tiffany (“TJ”) Thom Cepak Named to Savoy Magazine’s 2021 List of “Most Influential Black Corporate Directors”;
•Sold 20,429 barrels of oil per day (“bbl/d”) for the third quarter of 2021, slightly exceeding the mid-point of guidance. Total sales volumes for the third quarter of 2021 were 25,483 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“boe/d”);
•Generated significant free cash flow(1) for the eighth consecutive quarter, lowering net debt(2) by approximately $29 million to $305 million as of September 30, 2021;
•Generated net income of $43 million for the third quarter of 2021; and
•Reported adjusted EBITDAX(3) of over $88 million for the third quarter of 2021.
“The last several months have marked an incredible period of positive transformation," said Darrin Henke, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ranger. “I’m so proud of the many accomplishments we’ve made - closing our Lonestar acquisition, strengthening our balance sheet with our unsecured notes offering, outperforming the midpoint of our guidance for both production and capital, and generating our eighth consecutive quarter of free cash flow(1). To mark the success of our strategic transformation, we rebranded the Company to Ranger Oil Corporation. I want to thank the entire Ranger team for their continued hard work and dedication, without which this transformation would not have been possible. We are also proud of TJ’s accomplishment of being named to Savoy Magazine’s 2021 List of Most Influential Black Corporate Directors. TJ is a valued and key member of our Board, and we thank her for her continued commitment and dedication to Ranger.”
Mr. Henke continued, “While we celebrate our successes, we never stop pursuing continuous improvement. Turning to the fourth quarter, we are focused on engineering our next phase of operational and financial outperformance. First, we are executing on previously identified G&A and operating synergies in connection with the Lonestar acquisition. We continue to expect more than $20 million of annual synergies, with significant incremental development synergies through the drilling of longer lateral wells, increased wells per pad, and shared facilities and infrastructure. In anticipation of these larger, more capital-efficient pads, we are diligently working with our midstream partners to invest in field infrastructure. The plan calls for field compression upgrades and optimization of other infrastructure as we prepare for this next phase of development. We expect this plan to result in consistent production for the fourth quarter relative to this quarter for our legacy Ranger assets; however, the recent closing of the Lonestar acquisition grows our overall production base by approximately 50% on a barrel of oil equivalent basis. Our investments in field infrastructure combined with our continued two-rig drilling program provide momentum for a highly capital efficient 2022, with mid to high single-digit production growth year-over-year.”
Mr. Henke added, "With our focus on capital discipline and operational efficiencies, combined with current commodity prices, we expect the Company’s free cash flow(1) profile to significantly accelerate in 2022, producing well in excess of $200 million for the calendar year. Our growing EBITDAX and strong free cash flow generation are expected to result in a leverage(4) ratio of 1.0x or less in the first half of next year. As we approach this goal, we continue to review all potential options for accretive uses of our free cash flow for the benefit of our shareholders while maintaining our strong balance sheet. Lastly, we continue to see a significant opportunity for us to be the basin consolidator of choice. As in the past, our strategy will remain squarely focused on long-term shareholder accretion, rigorous capital discipline, balance sheet strength, strong cash-on-cash returns, and a commitment to operating in an environmentally and socially responsible manner."
Third Quarter 2021 Operating Results
Total sales volumes for the third quarter of 2021 were 2.3 million barrels of oil equivalent, or 25,483 boe/d (80% crude oil). During the third quarter of 2021, the Company completed and turned in line 10 gross (9.2 net) wells.
Third Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Operating expenses were $65.8 million, or $28.06 per barrel of oil equivalent ("boe"), in the third quarter of 2021 including $13.21 per boe of depreciation, depletion and amortization expenses. Total cash direct operating expenses(5), which consist of lease operating expenses ("LOE"), gathering, processing, and transportation ("GPT") expenses, production and ad valorem taxes, and cash general and administrative ("G&A") expenses, were $33.8 million, or $14.43 per boe, in the third quarter of 2021. Total G&A expenses for the third quarter of 2021 were $4.66 per boe, which includes $2.7 million of non-recurring transaction costs and $1.0 million of non-cash share-based compensation. For the third quarter of 2021, adjusted cash G&A expenses(6), which exclude non-cash share-based compensation and non-recurring transaction costs, were $3.11 per boe, and LOE was $4.54 per boe.
Net income for the third quarter of 2021 was $43.1 million, and net income attributable to common shareholders was $17.4 million, or $1.11 per share and per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $243.4 million, or $16.03 loss per share, in the third quarter of 2020. Adjusted net income(7) was $44.1 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2021 versus $17.3 million, or $1.14 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2020.
Adjusted EBITDAX(3) was $88.1 million in the third quarter of 2021, compared to $63.7 million in the third quarter of 2020, up primarily due to higher production and higher crude oil prices.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of October 29, 2021, Ranger had long-term debt of $662.9 million (net debt of $603.7 million), which is comprised of $400 million of senior unsecured notes and $203.7 million under its revolving credit facility, net of cash. The Company has a borrowing base of $600 million with elected commitments of $400 million. Ranger’s liquidity under its revolving credit facility was $195.9 million as of October 29, 2021.
Acreage
As of October 5, 2021, the Company (including the Lonestar acquisition) had approximately 174,600 gross (142,600 net) acres. Approximately 93% of Ranger’s acreage is held by production.
Q4 2021 Outlook
The table below sets forth the Company's operational and financial guidance for the fourth quarter 2021:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 4Q 2021 |
| | |
| Reported Oil Sales Volumes (bbl/d) | | 25,700 - 27,700 |
| | |
| Realized Price Differentials | | |
| Oil (WTI, per barrel) | | $(3.00) - $(2.00) |
| Natural gas (Henry Hub, per MMBtu) | | $(0.10) - $0.10 |
| | |
| Direct Operating Expenses | | |
| Lease operating expenses (per boe) | | $4.75 - $4.95 |
| GPT expenses (per boe) | | $2.55 - $2.85 |
| Ad valorem and production taxes (percent of product revenue) | | 6.3% - 6.8% |
Adjusted Cash G&A expenses (per boe)(6) | | $2.85 - $3.15 |
| | |
| Capital Expenditures (millions) | | |
| Drilling & Completion | | $65 - $75 |
| Land, Facilities and other | | $1 |
Note: As a result of the Lonestar transaction closing on October 5, 2021, financial and operational data for Lonestar for the first four days of the fourth quarter will not be included in Ranger’s fourth quarter results and are not reflected in the above guidance. Preliminary estimates for production associated with the Lonestar assets for the first four days of October reduced production by approximately 600 boe/d, which includes 300 bbl/d for the quarter.
Ranger remains committed to maintaining capital and operational discipline; thus, the Company currently anticipates maintaining a two-rig program. The Company believes a two-rig program in 2022 can achieve results approximating a 2.5 rig development scenario given the significant operational efficiencies in both drilling and
completion techniques, extended lateral length across the combined acreage position, higher working interest acreage, and increased wells per pad.

Reconciliation of GAAP “Realized prices” to Non-GAAP “Realized prices, including effects of derivatives, net”
We present our realized prices for 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 and natural gas, 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 and natural gas, as adjusted for the effects of derivatives, net and reconciles to realized prices for crude oil and natural gas determined in accordance with GAAP:

2 Net proceeds for the 9.25% Senior Notes are held in escrow and, therefore, classified within restricted cash accounts. As of October 5, 2021, these were released from escrow upon closing of the Lonestar acquisition to repay $249.8 million of Lonestar’s long-term debt and accrued interest and related expenses, and the remainder, along with cash on hand, of $146.2 million was used to repay the Second Lien Facility in full, a prepayment premium accrued interest and related expenses.

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 “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, net gains and losses on the sales of assets, loss on extinguishment of debt, strategic transaction costs, organizational restructuring, including severance and income tax effect of adjustments. We believe that non-GAAP adjusted net income and non-GAAP adjusted net income per share amounts provide 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).

2 Adjusted net income per diluted share is calculated based on diluted shares of 38.3 million (assumes the exchange of Series A Preferred stock and 22.5 million Common units held by Juniper for common shares), 38.4 million (assumes the exchange of Series A Preferred stock and 22.5 million Common units held by Juniper for common shares) and 15.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2020, respectively, and 38.2 million (assumes the exchange of Series A Preferred stock and 22.5 million Common units held by Juniper for common shares) and 15.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Reconciliation of GAAP “Net income (loss)” to Non-GAAP “Adjusted EBITDAX”
Adjusted EBITDAX represents net income (loss) before 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, divestiture and strategic transaction costs, and organizational restructuring, 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.

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.

Definition and Explanation of Free Cash Flow
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 represented primarily by our debt holders as we do not currently have a dividend or share repurchase program. We present Free Cash Flow as the excess (deficiency) of Discretionary cash flow over Capital additions, net. Discretionary cash flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDAX (non-GAAP measure defined and reconciled to GAAP net income above) less interest expense, debt issue costs, other, net and adjustments for income taxes refunded and changes for working capital. Capital additions represent our committed capital expenditure and acquisition transactions, net of any proceeds from the sales or disposition of assets. We believe Free Cash Flow is commonly used by investors and professional research analysts for the valuation, comparison, rating, investment recommendations of companies in many industries. 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.

1 Net debt at the beginning of the period has been adjusted for the net cash effects of the Transaction and debt amendments. See the following table for adjustments attributed to the Juniper transaction and debt amendments.
2 Net debt at the end of the period excludes the 9.25% senior unsecured notes and related funds which were held in escrow as restricted cash - non-current of $396.1 million at September 30, 2021. See the following table.
Net Debt
Net debt, excluding unamortized discount and debt issuance costs is a non-GAAP financial measure that is defined as total principal amount of long-term debt, excluding $9.25% Senior Notes less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash-current. Net debt, as adjusted, calculated on a pro forma basis as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020 to adjust for related impacts of the Juniper Transaction (refer to footnote 2 below). The most comparable financial measure to net debt, excluding unamortized discount and debt issuance costs under GAAP is principal amount of long-term debt. Net debt is used by management as a measure of our financial leverage. Net debt, excluding unamortized discount and debt issuance costs 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.
