Shareholder Return Initiatives and 2022 Outlook
--- Exceeds Mid-point of Oil Sales Volume Guidance for Q4 2021 ---
--- Targeting $100 Million Share Repurchase Program and Quarterly Dividend ---
HOUSTON, March 7, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ranger Oil Corporation (“Ranger” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ:ROCC) today announced financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2021, its near-term plans for shareholder return initiatives through share repurchases and quarterly dividends, and the Company’s 2022 outlook.
Significant Highlights
Fourth Quarter
•Sold 27,516 barrels of oil per day (“bbl/d”) for the fourth quarter of 2021, exceeding the mid-point of upward revised oil sales guidance. Total sales volumes were 40,236 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“boe/d”);
•Reported net income of $68 million and adjusted net income(1) of $76 million;
•Generated adjusted EBITDAX(2) of $149 million;
•Generated significant free cash flow(3) of $44 million; and
•As a result of ongoing improvements in cycle times, Ranger completed its anticipated fourth quarter drilling and completion (“D&C”) program earlier than expected allowing the Company to begin completions on four additional wells in 2021, bringing total D&C capital expenditures to $82.8 million.
Planned Shareholder Return and Free Cash Flow Initiatives
•Expecting to produce over $250 million of free cash flow(3) in 2022 at current commodity prices;
•Targeting $100 million share repurchase program authorization beginning in the second quarter of 2022;
•Continuing debt reduction providing financial and strategic flexibility;
•Planning to initiate annualized dividend of $0.25 per share ($0.0625 per share quarterly) beginning third quarter 2022; and
•Disciplined pursuit of accretive consolidation and bolt-on prospects.
Darrin Henke, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ranger, commented, “2021 was a truly transformative year for our Company, and I couldn’t be more proud of our team. Due to our low operating cost, high oil cut and premium Gulf Coast pricing, we produced one of the highest Adjusted EBITDAX margins of any public US independent. We transformed our balance sheet, accessing the unsecured debt markets to term out and refinance the majority of our debt, while simultaneously increasing our borrowing base and liquidity. We closed our previously announced acquisition of Lonestar Resources, acquired at a discount to PDP value in a lower price environment, and increased our estimated inventory life to approximately 20 years at our current pace of development(4). We grew our total proved and proved developed reserve volumes by 90% and 82% respectively, while reducing our leverage ratio and producing over $100 million of free cash flow. Best of all, we set up our Company to thrive in the coming year, with reported EBITDAX and free cash flow expected to more than double in the current commodity price environment.
Our robust cash flow profile allows us to initiate what we believe will be a highly accretive strategy around our use of free cash flow. First, we believe that consolidation remains a highly attractive objective. We are committed to this continued pursuit in a disciplined manner, maintaining a strong balance sheet and pursuing only accretive opportunities with clear value potential through the combination. As such, we expect to use a significant portion of our free cash flow to continue to reduce leverage in anticipation of attractive consolidation opportunities. Second, as a testament to our commitment towards capital return to shareholders, we are planning to initiate a $0.25 per share annualized dividend, beginning in the third quarter. Third, we plan to authorize a $100 million share repurchase program, with a focus on acquiring shares when our market enterprise value is attractive relative to the intrinsic value of our assets. Finally, we plan to continue to invest in socially and environmentally responsible initiatives both at Ranger as well as invest in the communities in which we operate and live. Overall, we plan to continually evaluate what is most beneficial for long-term shareholder value among all of our various options for cash deployment.”
Fourth Quarter 2021 and Full-Year Operating Results
Total sales volumes for the fourth quarter of 2021 were 3.7 million barrels of oil equivalent (“MMboe”), or 40,236 boe/d (68% crude oil). Ranger sold 10.2 MMboe, or 27,822 boe/d (76% crude oil) for the full-year 2021.
During the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company completed and turned in line 12 gross (10.4 net) wells. In 2021, the Company completed and turned in line 46 gross (40.4 net) wells.
Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Results
Operating expenses were $119.0 million, or $32.15 per boe, in the fourth quarter of 2021. Adjusted 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, excluding DD&A and significant special charges, were $43.0 million, or $11.62 per boe, in the fourth quarter of 2021.
Total G&A expenses for the fourth quarter of 2021 were $9.57 per boe. Adjusted cash G&A expenses(6), which excludes share-based compensation and significant special charges, were $2.00 per boe.
LOE was $4.38 per boe for the fourth quarter of 2021.
Net income for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $68.3 million and Adjusted net income(1) was $75.8 million.
Adjusted EBITDAX(2) was $149.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2021.
Full Year 2021 Financial Results
Operating expenses were $300.1 million, or $29.55 per boe, in 2021. Adjusted direct operating expenses(5) were $126.8 million, or $12.49 per boe, in 2021.
Net income for the full year of 2021 was $98.9 million and Adjusted net income(1) was $175.0 million.
Adjusted EBITDAX(2) was $362.0 million in 2021.
Fourth Quarter 2021 Capital Expenditures
As a result of ongoing improvements in cycle times, Ranger completed its anticipated fourth quarter drilling and completion program earlier than expected. The Company was successful in negotiating discounted pricing to continue services through the end of the year, allowing Ranger to move a portion of the completion of four wells from early January 2022 into December 2021. The Company was also able to acquire additional highly economic working interest in these wells. As a result, Ranger chose to continue with a consistent pace of operations, incurring an additional $8.8 million of D&C capital expenditures versus its previously anticipated program in the fourth quarter, bringing total D&C capital expenditures to $82.8 million.
Current Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of March 1, 2022, Ranger had $400 million of senior unsecured notes and approximately $148 million drawn, net of cash, on its revolving credit facility. The Company has a borrowing base of $725 million under its revolving credit facility(7).
2022 Outlook
Mr. Henke commented, “As we look at our development plan in 2022, we anticipate operating approximately two continuous drilling rigs, with an occasional spot rig to maximize operating efficiencies. While service costs may be rising, we expect the combination of our consistent pace of development, operating efficiencies and shift to longer laterals to expand our cash-on-cash returns for shareholders. We expect the timing impact of our transition to longer laterals to result in a smaller contribution of production in the current first quarter, while increasing production in the second and third quarters. Our anticipated development program is expected to result in a high single to low double digit pro forma annual production growth rate for the year, which we believe will generate over $250 million in free cash flow at current commodity prices.”

Cautionary Statements Regarding Guidance and Other Matters
The estimates, guidance and planned uses of free cash flow discussed in this release are based on assumptions of current and future capital expenditure levels, prices for oil, NGLs, and natural gas, and NGLs, available liquidity, indications of supply and demand for oil, well results, and operating costs. This release does not constitute any form of guarantee or assurance that the matters indicated will be achieved. While we believe these estimates and the assumptions on which they are based are reasonable as of the date on which they are made, they are inherently uncertain and are subject to, among other things, significant business, economic, operational, and regulatory risks, and uncertainties, some of which are not known as of the date of the statement. Guidance and estimates, and the assumptions on which they are based, are subject to material revision. Actual results may differ materially from estimates and
guidance. Further, expectations regarding amount and uses of free cash flow are subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, available liquidity, compliance with the Company’s debt and other agreements and other factors. Please read the “Forward-Looking Statements” section below, as well as “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K and our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, which are incorporated herein.
Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains certain “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements, and such statements generally include, words such as “anticipate,” “target,” “guidance,” “assumptions,” “projects,” “forward,” “estimates,” “outlook,” “expects,” “continues,”, “project”, “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “future,” “potential,” “may,” “foresee,” “possible,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “focus” and variations of such words or similar expressions, including the negative thereof, to identify that they are forward-looking statements. Because such statements include assumptions, risks, uncertainties, and contingencies, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and contingencies include, but are not limited to, the following: the risk that the benefits of the acquisition of Lonestar may not be fully realized or may take longer to realize than expected, and that management attention will be diverted to integration-related issues; the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including reduced demand for oil and natural gas, economic slowdown, governmental actions, stay-at-home orders, interruptions to our operations or our customer’s operations; risks related to and the impact of actual or anticipated other world health events; our ability to satisfy our short-term and long-term liquidity needs, including our ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations or to obtain adequate financing; our ability to maintain our relationships with our suppliers, service providers, customers, employees, and other third parties; our ability to execute our business plan in volatile commodity price environments; our ability to develop, explore for, acquire and replace oil and gas reserves and sustain production; changes to our drilling and development program; our ability to generate profits or achieve targeted reserves in our development and exploratory drilling and well operations; our ability to meet guidance, market expectations and internal projections, including type curves; the projected demand for and supply of oil, NGLs and natural gas; our ability to contract for drilling rigs, frac crews, materials, supplies and services at reasonable costs; our ability to renew or replace expiring contracts on acceptable terms; our ability to obtain adequate pipeline transportation capacity or other transportation for our oil and gas production at reasonable cost and to sell our production at, or at reasonable discounts to, market prices; the uncertainties inherent in projecting future rates of production for our wells and the extent to which actual production differs from that estimated in our proved oil and gas reserves; use of new techniques in our development, including choke management and longer laterals; drilling, completion and operating risks, including adverse impacts associated with well spacing and a high concentration of activity; our ability to convert drilling locations into reserves and production, if at all; the longevity of our currently estimated inventory; approval by our board of directors of any dividends or share repurchases; and other risks set forth in our filings with the SEC, including our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Additional Information concerning these and other factors can be found in our press releases and public filings with the SEC. Many of the factors that will determine our future results are beyond the ability of management to control or predict. In addition, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect management's views only as of the date hereof. The statements in this communication speak only as of the date of the communication. We undertake no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements, or to make any other forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable law.

(1)Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP financial measure. Definitions of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the closest GAAP-based financial measures appear at the end of this release.
(2)Adjusted EBITDAX is a non-GAAP financial measure. Definitions of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the closest GAAP-based financial measures appear at the end of this release.
(3)Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure. Definitions of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the closest GAAP-based financial measures appear at the end of this release. We have not reconciled forward-looking estimates of free cash flow to the most comparable GAAP measure because it is not possible to do so without unreasonable efforts given the uncertainty and potential variability of reconciling items, which are dependent on future events and often outside of management’s control and which could be significant. Because such items cannot be reasonably predicted with the level of precision required, we are unable to provide an estimate of our net income at this time. We are unable to estimate forward-looking adjusted EBITDAX for the same reasons as it is a non-GAAP measure that must be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measure, net income. Forward-looking estimates of free cash flow are made in a manner consistent with the relevant definitions and assumptions noted herein.
(4)Assumes 50 wells drilled per year normalized to 7,500 lateral feet.
(5)Adjusted cash direct operating expenses is a non-GAAP financial measure. Definitions of non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures to the closest GAAP-based financial measures appear at the end of this release.

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, 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:

Effects of derivatives includes, as applicable to the period presented: (i) current period commodity derivative settlements (excluding novated and settled Lonestar derivative contracts); (ii) the impact of option premiums paid or received in prior periods related to current period production; (iii) the impact of prior period cash settlements of early-terminated derivatives originally designated to settle against current period production; (iv) the exclusion of option premiums paid or received in current period related to future period production; and (v) the exclusion of the impact of current period cash settlements for early-terminated derivatives originally designated to settle against future period production.
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, acquisition/integration, divestiture and strategic transaction costs, organizational restructuring, including severance and income tax effect of adjustments. 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 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, 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.

Reconciliation of GAAP “Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows” to Non-GAAP “PV-10”
Non-GAAP PV-10 value is the estimated future net cash flows from estimated proved reserves discounted at an annual rate of 10 percent before giving effect to income taxes. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is the after-tax estimated future cash flows from estimated proved reserves discounted at an annual rate of 10 percent, determined in accordance with GAAP. We use non-GAAP PV-10 value as one measure of the value of our estimated proved reserves and to compare relative values of proved reserves amount exploration and production companies without regard to income taxes. We believe that securities analysts and rating agencies use PV-10 value in similar ways. Our management believes PV-10 value is a useful measure for comparison of proved reserve values among companies because, unlike standardized measure, it excludes future income taxes that often depend principally on the characteristics of the owner of the reserves rather than on the nature, location and quality of the reserves themselves.

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 Lonestar Acquisition and Juniper Transaction. See the following table for adjustments to net debt.
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, less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash - non-current. Net debt, as adjusted, calculated on a pro forma basis as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 to adjust for related impacts of the Lonestar Acquisition and Juniper Transaction, respectively (refer to footnotes 3 and 5 below). Long-term debt excludes non-recourse mortgage debt assumed with the Lonestar Acquisition. 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.
