Ranger Energy Services (NYSE:RNGR) Announces Quarterly Earnings Results, Misses Estimates By $0.06 EPS

Ranger Energy Services (NYSE:RNGR) announced its earnings results on Thursday. The company reported $0.14 EPS for the quarter, missing analysts’ consensus estimates of $0.20 by ($0.06), reports. The firm had revenue of $142.20 million for the quarter, compared to analysts’ expectations of $140.67 million. Ranger Energy Services had a net margin of 2.72% and a return on equity of 5.60%.

Here are the key takeaways from Ranger Energy Services’ conference call:

• Integration of American Well Services is progressing smoothly ~120 days in, management says synergy milestones are on track and the acquisition expands Ranger’s Permian footprint and customer reach.
• The Echo hybrid-electric rig program is gaining traction — company signed a 15‑rig build contract (in addition to 2 deployed rigs), early field data show large generator-hour reductions, and management believes manufacturing can scale to meet demand.
• Ranger posted ~ $547M revenue and $73.2M Adjusted EBITDA for 2025, generated $42.9M free cash flow, repurchased ~1M shares (~5% of outstanding) and returned >40% of FCF to shareholders, underscoring strong cash generation and capital returns.
• Wireline revenue and margins were pressured (Q4 wireline $12.4M) and remain a weakness, and Q1 2026 is expected to be impacted by winter storms and a working‑capital build that may require temporary borrowings.
• Management expects 2026 activity to be broadly flat and a year of execution (AWS integration and Echo rollout); pro forma EBITDA opportunity is >$100M for 2026, but free cash flow conversion is guided nearer ~50% due to Echo CapEx timing.
