RING ENERGY ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2024 RESULTS, PROVIDES SECOND QUARTER 2024 OUTLOOK AND REITERATES FULL YEAR 2024 GUIDANCE

~ Crude Oil and Boe Sales Volumes Exceed High End of Q1 Guidance ~
~ LOE per Boe and Capital Spending Below Low End of Q1 Guidance ~

The Woodlands, TX – May 6, 2024 – Ring Energy, Inc. (NYSE American: REI) (“Ring” or the “Company”) today reported operational and financial results for the first quarter of 2024. Also, the Company provided an outlook for the second quarter of 2024 and reiterated its operational and financial guidance for the full year of 2024.

First Quarter 2024 Highlights

Sales of 13,394 barrels of oil per day (“Bo/d”), exceeding high end of the Company’s guidance by 5%;
Total sales volumes of 19,034 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Boe/d”) (70% oil), exceeding high end of guidance by 3%;
Reported net income of $5.5 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, which included a before-tax loss on derivative contracts of $19.0 million;
Achieved Adjusted Net Income1 of $20.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, which excludes the unrealized portion of the derivative loss, share-based compensation and the related tax impact;
Lease Operating Expense (“LOE”) of $10.60 per Boe was below the low end of guidance;
Generated Adjusted EBITDA1 of $62.0 million and Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities of $45.2 million;
Capital expenditures of $36.3 million were below the low end of Ring’s guidance range;
Successfully drilled and completed 11 producing wells during the first quarter, of which five wells came online late in the period;
Achieved Adjusted Free Cash Flow1 of $15.6 million, remaining cash flow positive for the 18th consecutive quarter;
Ended the first quarter of 2024 with $422.0 million in outstanding borrowings on the Company’s credit facility, reflecting a pay-down of $3.0 million during the quarter and $33.0 million since closing the Founders Acquisition in August 2023;
Liquidity as of March 31, 2024 was $179.3 million and the Leverage Ratio2 was 1.67x;
Provided guidance for sales volumes, operating expenses and capital spending for the second quarter of 2024 and reiterated Ring’s full year 2024 outlook.

Mr. Paul D. McKinney, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our first quarter 2024 operational and financial results exceeded our expectations on many fronts, helped position the Company to take advantage of the opportunities we believe 2024 may present, and further underscore the benefits of our strategy to maximize cash flow generation. Our Adjusted Free Cash Flow this quarter is up over 48 percent over the same period last year. The robust results of our capital spending program together with our continuing focus on reducing overall costs and downtime led to higher sales volumes than expected despite the impact of an early winter storm, lower capital costs associated with our drilling and completion program, and lower per-Boe lifting costs in many of our field operating areas. These efficiencies and cost savings associated with our first quarter activities have positioned the Company well for the rest of the year and on behalf of our Board of Directors and management team, we thank our office and field employees for the outstanding execution that lead to these results.”

Mr. McKinney concluded, “As we look to the remainder of 2024, our focus remains unchanged on further improving our balance sheet. We will continue our disciplined capital spending program designed to organically maintain or slightly grow our oil production and we will seek further opportunities to reduce costs. Finally, we will continue to look for opportunities to grow through the pursuit of strategic, accretive and balance sheet enhancing acquisitions.”

The Company’s Adjusted Net Income was $20.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share. In the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company reported net income of $50.9 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, which included a $32.5 million before-tax non-cash unrealized commodity derivative gain, $2.5 million for before-tax share-based compensation, and $0.4 million in before-tax transaction related costs. The Company’s Adjusted Net Income for the fourth quarter of 2023 was $21.2 million, or $0.11 per diluted share.

Adjusted Net Income in the first quarter of 2023 was $25.0 million, or $0.13 per diluted share.

Adjusted EBITDA was $62.0 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $65.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $58.6 million for the first quarter of 2023 — a 6% year-over-year increase.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow for the first quarter of 2024 was $15.6 million versus $16.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $10.5 million for the first quarter of 2023. Included was capital spending of $36.3 million in the first quarter of 2024 versus $38.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 and $38.9 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations was $51.9 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $55.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, and $49.4 million for the first quarter of 2023.

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Free Cash Flow, and Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations are non-GAAP financial measures, which are described in more detail and reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measures, in the tables shown later in this release under “Non-GAAP Financial Information.”

Sales Volumes, Prices and Revenues: Sales volumes for the first quarter of 2024 were 19,034 Boe/d (70% oil, 15% natural gas and 15% NGLs), or 1,732,057 Boe. The Company’s guidance for first quarter 2024 was 18,000 to 18,500 Boe/d, including 12,420 to 12,765 Bo/d, with actual results 3% and 5% above the top end of guidance, respectively. Positively impacting first quarter 2024 sales volumes was the Founders Acquisition that closed in August 2023, incremental production brought online during the period associated with the Company’s ongoing development program, and less than expected downtime during the months of February and March. Fourth

quarter 2023 sales volumes were 19,397 Boe/d (70% oil, 15% natural gas and 15% NGLs), or 1,784,490 Boe, and first quarter of 2023 sales volumes were 18,292 Boe/d (69% oil, 16% natural gas and 15% NGLs), or 1,646,306 Boe. First quarter 2024 sales volumes were comprised of 1,218,837 barrels (“Bbls”) of oil, 1,496,507 thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”) of natural gas and 263,802 Bbls of NGLs.

For the first quarter of 2024, the Company realized an average sales price of $75.72 per barrel of crude oil, $(0.55) per Mcf of natural gas and $11.47 per barrel of NGLs. The realized natural gas and NGL prices were impacted by a fee reduction to the value received. For the first quarter of 2024, the weighted average natural gas price per Mcf was $1.19 offset by a weighted average fee value per Mcf of ($1.74), and the weighted average NGL price per barrel was $21.40 offset by a weighted average fee per barrel of ($9.93). The combined average realized sales price for the period was $54.56 per Boe, down 3% versus $56.01 per Boe for the fourth quarter of 2023, and up 2% from $53.50 per Boe in the first quarter of 2023. The average oil price differential the Company experienced from NYMEX WTI futures pricing in the first quarter of 2024 was a negative $1.34 per barrel of crude oil, while the average natural gas price differential from NYMEX futures pricing was a negative $2.57 per Mcf.

Revenues were $94.5 million for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $99.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $88.1 million for the first quarter of 2023. The 5% decrease in first quarter 2024 revenues from the fourth quarter of 2023 was driven by lower realized pricing and slightly lower overall sales volumes.

Lease Operating Expense (“LOE”): LOE, which includes expensed workovers and facilities maintenance, was $18.4 million, or $10.60 per Boe, in the first quarter of 2024, which was below the low end of the Company’s guidance of $10.75 to $11.25 per Boe. LOE per Boe was below expectations due to lower expense workover costs and higher production. LOE was $18.7 million, or $10.50 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2023 and $17.5 million, or $10.61 per Boe, for the first quarter of 2023.

Gathering, Transportation and Processing (“GTP”) Costs: As previously disclosed, due to a contractual change effective May 1, 2022, the Company no longer maintains ownership and control of natural gas through processing. As a result, GTP costs are now reflected as a reduction to the natural gas sales price and not as an expense item. There remains only one contract in place with a natural gas processing entity where the point of control of gas dictates requiring the fees to be recorded as an expense.

Ad Valorem Taxes: Ad valorem taxes were $1.24 per Boe for the first quarter of 2024 compared to $0.92 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2023 and $1.01 per Boe for the first quarter of 2023.

Production Taxes: Production taxes were $2.56 per Boe in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $2.78 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2023 and $2.68 per Boe in first quarter of 2023. Production taxes ranged between 4.7% to 5.0% of revenue for all three periods.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (“DD&A”) and Asset Retirement Obligation Accretion: DD&A was $13.74 per Boe in the first quarter of 2024 versus $13.76 per Boe for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $12.92 per Boe in the first quarter of 2023. Asset retirement obligation accretion was $0.20 per Boe in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $0.20 per Boe for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $0.22 per Boe in the first quarter of 2023.

General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”): G&A was $7.5 million ($4.31 per Boe) for the first quarter of 2024 versus $8.2 million ($4.58 per Boe) for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $7.1 million ($4.33 per Boe) for the first quarter of 2023. G&A, excluding non-cash share-based compensation, was $5.7 million ($3.32 per Boe) for the first quarter of 2024 versus $5.7 million ($3.20 per Boe) for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $5.2 million ($3.15 per Boe) for the first quarter of 2023. G&A, excluding non-cash share-based compensation and transaction costs, was $5.7 million ($3.32 per Boe) for the first quarter versus $5.4 million ($3.00 per Boe) for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $5.2 million ($3.15 per Boe) for the first quarter of 2023.

Interest Expense: Interest expense was $11.5 million in the first quarter of 2024 versus $11.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and $10.4 million for the first quarter of 2023.

Derivative (Loss) Gain: In the first quarter of 2024, Ring recorded a net loss of $19.0 million on its commodity derivative contracts, including a realized $1.5 million cash commodity derivative loss and an unrealized $17.6
3



million non-cash commodity derivative loss. This compares to a net gain of $29.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, including a realized $3.3 million cash commodity derivative loss and an unrealized $32.5 million non-cash commodity derivative gain. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company recorded a net gain on commodity derivative contracts of $9.5 million, including a realized $0.6 million cash commodity derivative loss and an unrealized $10.1 million non-cash commodity derivative gain.

A summary listing of the Company’s outstanding derivative positions at March 31, 2024 is included in the tables shown later in this release.

For the remainder (April through December) of 2024, the Company has approximately 1.5 million barrels of oil (approximately 43% of oil sales guidance midpoint) hedged and approximately 1.9 billion cubic feet of natural gas (approximately 41% of natural gas sales guidance midpoint) hedged.

Income Tax: The Company recorded a non-cash income tax provision of $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2024 versus $7.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 and $2.0 million for the first quarter of 2023.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity: Total liquidity (defined as cash and cash equivalents plus borrowing base availability under the Company’s credit facility) at March 31, 2024 was $179.3 million, a 3% increase from December 31, 2023. Liquidity at March 31, 2024 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $1.4 million and $178.0 million of availability under Ring’s revolving credit facility, which included a reduction of $35.0 thousand for letters of credit. On March 31, 2024, the Company had $422.0 million in borrowings outstanding on its credit facility that has a current borrowing base of $600.0 million. Consistent with the past, the Company is targeting further future debt reduction dependent on market conditions, the timing and level of capital spending, and other considerations.

Capital Expenditures: During the first quarter of 2024, capital expenditures were $36.3 million, which was below the Company’s guidance of $37 million to $42 million, while the number of producing wells drilled and completed — 11 in total — was at the high end of the Ring’s guidance. In the first quarter of 2024, in the Northwest Shelf, the Company drilled and completed two 1-mile horizontal wells (one with a working interest of 99.5% and the other with a working interest of 100%). In the Central Basin Platform, Ring drilled and completed nine wells, all with a working interest of 100%. Specifically, in its Andrews County acreage the Company drilled and completed three 1-mile horizontal wells, in its Ector County acreage Ring drilled three vertical wells, and in its Crane County acreage the Company drilled and completed three vertical wells. Additionally, within the Central Basin Platform, Ring drilled and completed one salt water disposal (“SWD”) well in Ector County which was originally planned for the second quarter.

Full Year and Second Quarter 2024 Sales Volumes, Capital Investment and Operating Expense Guidance

In January, the Company commenced its 2024 development program that includes two rigs (one horizontal and one vertical) and is focused on slightly growing oil volumes while maintaining year-over-year overall production levels. The Company is utilizing a phased (versus continuous) capital drilling program seeking to maximize free cash flow on a quarterly basis.

For full year 2024, Ring continues to expect total capital spending of $135 million to $175 million that includes a balanced and capital efficient combination of drilling, completing and placing on production 18 to 24 Hz and 20 to 30 vertical wells across the Company’s asset portfolio. Additionally, the full year capital spending program includes funds for targeted well recompletions, capital workovers, infrastructure upgrades, reactivations, and leasing costs, as well as non-operated drilling, completion, and capital workovers.

All projects and estimates are based on assumed WTI oil prices of $70 to $90 per barrel and Henry Hub prices of $2.00 to $3.00 per Mcf. As in the past, Ring has designed its spending program with flexibility to respond to changes in commodity prices and other market conditions as appropriate.

Based on the $155 million mid-point of spending guidance, the Company continues to expect the following estimated allocation of capital investment, including:

73% for drilling, completion, and related infrastructure;
24% for recompletions and capital workovers; and
3% for land, environmental and emission reducing upgrades, and non-operated capital.

The Company forecasts full year 2024 oil sales volumes of 12,600 to 13,300 Bo/d compared with full year 2023 oil sales volumes of 12,548 Bo/d, with the mid-point of guidance reflecting a 3% increase.

The Company remains focused on continuing to generate Adjusted Free Cash Flow. All 2024 planned capital expenditures will be fully funded by cash on hand and cash from operations, and excess Adjusted Free Cash Flow is currently targeted for further debt reduction.

For the second quarter of 2024, Ring is providing guidance for sales volumes, capital spending and operating expense. Benefiting the second quarter is the expectation of a continued positive pricing environment, the success of the first quarter capital spending program that included five wells coming on late in the first quarter, and further development of the Company’s high rate-of-return inventory. Ring expects second quarter 2024 sales volumes of 13,000 to 13,400 Bo/d and 18,500 to 19,100 Boe/d (70% oil, 15% natural gas, and 15% NGLs).

The Company is targeting total capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2024 of $37 million to $42 million, primarily for drilling and completion activity. Additionally, the capital spending program includes funds for targeted capital workovers, infrastructure upgrades, leasing costs; and non-operated drilling, completion, and capital workovers.

The guidance in the table below represents the Company's current good faith estimate of the range of likely future results. Guidance could be affected by the factors discussed below in the "Safe Harbor Statement" section.

RING ENERGY, INC.
Non-GAAP Financial Information

Certain financial information included in this release are not measures of financial performance recognized by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures are “Adjusted Net Income”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” or “AFCF,” “Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations” or “ACFFO,” “G&A Excluding Share-Based Compensation,” “G&A Excluding Share-Based Compensation and Transaction Costs,” “Leverage Ratio,” and “All-In Cash Operating Costs.” Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used to determine certain of the Company’s incentive compensation awards. These disclosures may not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be reported by other companies.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted Net Income

“Adjusted Net Income” is calculated as net income (loss) minus the estimated after-tax impact of share-based compensation, ceiling test impairment, unrealized gains and losses on changes in the fair value of derivatives, and transaction costs for executed acquisitions and divestitures (A&D). Adjusted Net Income is presented because the timing and amount of these items cannot be reasonably estimated and affect the comparability of operating results from period to period, and current period to prior periods. The Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted Net Income provides useful information to investors as it is one of the metrics management uses to assess the Company’s ongoing operating and financial performance, and also is a useful metric for investors to compare our results with our peers.

Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA

The Company defines “Adjusted EBITDA” as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, unrealized loss (gain) on change in fair value of derivatives, ceiling test impairment, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, asset retirement obligation accretion, transaction costs for executed acquisitions and divestitures (A&D), share-based compensation, loss (gain) on disposal of assets, and backing out the effect of other income. Company management believes Adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful because it helps investors understand Ring’s operating performance and makes it easier to compare its results with those of other companies that have different financing, capital and tax structures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income, as an indication of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA, as Ring calculates it, may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA measures reported by other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for discretionary use.

Reconciliations of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted Free Cash Flow

The Company defines “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” or “AFCF” as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities less changes in operating assets and liabilities (as reflected on our Condensed Statements of Cash Flows), plus transaction costs for executed acquisitions and divestitures (A&D), current income tax expense (benefit), proceeds from divestitures of equipment for oil and natural gas properties, loss (gain) on disposal of assets, and less capital expenditures, bad debt expense, and other income. For this purpose, our definition of capital expenditures includes costs incurred related to oil and natural gas properties (such as drilling and infrastructure costs and the lease maintenance costs) but excludes acquisition costs of oil and gas properties from third parties that are not included in our capital expenditures guidance provided to investors. Our management believes that Adjusted Free Cash Flow is an important financial performance measure for use in evaluating the performance and efficiency of our current operating activities after the impact of capital expenditures and net interest expense and without being impacted by items such as changes associated with working capital, which can vary substantially from one period to another. Other companies may use different definitions of Adjusted Free Cash Flow.

Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations

The Company defines “Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations” or “ACFFO” as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, as reflected in our Condensed Statements of Cash Flows, less the changes in operating assets and liabilities, which includes accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, and settlement of asset retirement obligation, which are subject to variation due to the nature of the Company’s operations. Accordingly, the Company believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors because it is used often in its industry and allows investors to compare this metric to other companies in its peer group as well as the E&P sector.

Calculation of Leverage Ratio

“Leverage” or the “Leverage Ratio” is calculated under our existing senior revolving credit facility and means as of any date, the ratio of (i) our consolidated total debt as of such date to (ii) our Consolidated EBITDAX for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or immediately prior to such date for which financial statements are required to have been delivered under our existing senior revolving credit facility; provided that for the purposes of the definition of ‘Leverage Ratio’: (a) for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023, Consolidated EBITDAX is calculated by multiplying Consolidated EBITDAX for the three fiscal quarter periods ended on March 31, 2023 by four-thirds, and (b) for each fiscal quarter thereafter, Consolidated EBITDAX will be calculated by adding Consolidated EBITDAX for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on such date.

The Company defines “Consolidated EBITDAX” in accordance with our existing senior revolving credit facility that means for any period an amount equal to the sum of (i) consolidated net income (loss) for such period plus (ii) to the extent deducted in determining consolidated net income for such period, and without duplication, (A) consolidated interest expense, (B) income tax expense determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, (C) depreciation, depletion and amortization determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, (D) exploration expenses determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, and (E) all other non-cash charges acceptable to our senior revolving credit facility administrative agent determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, in each case for such period minus (iii) all noncash income added to consolidated net income (loss) for such period; provided that, for purposes of calculating compliance with the financial covenants, to the extent that during such period we shall have consummated an acquisition permitted by the credit facility or any sale, transfer or other disposition of any property or assets permitted by the senior revolving credit facility, Consolidated EBITDAX will be calculated on a pro forma basis with respect to the property or assets so acquired or disposed of.

Also set forth in our existing senior revolving credit facility is the maximum permitted Leverage Ratio of 3.00. The following table shows the leverage ratio calculation for our most recent fiscal quarter.

All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Presentation, regarding our strategy, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, guidance, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this Presentation, the words “could,” “may,” “will,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “expect,” “guidance,” “project,” “goal,” “plan,” “potential,” “probably,” “target” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current expectations and assumptions about future events and are based on currently available information as to the outcome and timing of future events. However, whether actual results and developments will conform to expectations is subject to a number of material risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to: declines in oil, natural gas liquids or natural gas prices; the level of success in exploration, development and production activities; adverse weather conditions that may negatively impact development or production activities particularly in the winter; the timing of exploration and development expenditures; inaccuracies of reserve estimates or assumptions underlying them; revisions to reserve estimates as a result of changes in commodity prices; impacts to financial statements as a result of impairment write- downs; risks related to level of indebtedness and periodic redeterminations of the borrowing base and interest rates under the Company’s credit facility; Ring’s ability to generate sufficient cash flows from operations to meet the internally funded portion of its capital expenditures budget; the impacts of hedging on results of operations; and Ring’s ability to replace oil and natural gas reserves. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which are disclosed in the Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and its other filings with the SEC. All forward-looking statements in this Presentation are expressly qualified by the cautionary statements and by reference to the underlying assumptions that may prove to be incorrect. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date hereof, except as required by applicable law. The financial and operating estimates contained in this Presentation represent our reasonable estimates as of the date of this Presentation. Neither our independent auditors nor any other third party has examined, reviewed or compiled the estimates and, accordingly, none of the foregoing expresses an opinion or other form of assurance with respect thereto. The assumptions upon which the estimates are based are described in more detail herein. Some of these assumptions inevitably will not materialize, and unanticipated events may occur that could affect our results. Therefore, our actual results achieved during the periods covered by the estimates will vary from the estimated results. Investors are not to place undue reliance on the estimates included herein.

Ring Energy, Inc. The Company defines “Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations” or “ACFFO” as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, as reflected in our Condensed Statements of Cash Flows, less the changes in operating assets and liabilities, which includes accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, and settlement of asset retirement obligations, which are subject to variation due to the nature of the Company’s operations. Accordingly, the Company believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors because it is used often in its industry and allows investors to compare this metric to other companies in its peer group as well as the E&P sector. “Leverage” or the “Leverage Ratio” is calculated under our existing senior revolving credit facility and means as of any date, the ratio of (i) our consolidated total debt as of such date to (ii) our Consolidated EBITDAX for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or immediately prior to such date for which financial statements are required to have been delivered under our existing senior revolving credit facility; provided that for the purposes of the definition of ‘Leverage Ratio’: (a) for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2023, Consolidated EBITDAX is calculated by multiplying Consolidated EBITDAX for the three fiscal quarter period ended on March 31, 2023 by four-thirds, and (b) for each fiscal quarter thereafter, Consolidated EBITDAX will be calculated by adding Consolidated EBITDAX for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on such date. The Company defines “Consolidated EBITDAX” in accordance with our existing senior revolving credit facility that means for any period an amount equal to the sum of (i) consolidated net income for such period plus (ii) to the extent deducted in determining consolidated net income for such period, and without duplication, (A) consolidated interest expense, (B) income tax expense determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, (C) depreciation, depletion and amortization determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, (D) exploration expenses determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, and (E) all other non-cash charges acceptable to our senior revolving credit facility administrative agent determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, in each case for such period minus (iii) all noncash income added to consolidated net income for such period; provided that, for purposes of calculating compliance with the financial covenants, to the extent that during such period we shall have consummated an acquisition permitted by the credit facility or any sale, transfer or other disposition of any property or assets permitted by the senior revolving credit facility, Consolidated EBITDAX will be calculated on a pro forma basis with respect to such property or assets so acquired or disposed of. Also set forth in our existing senior revolving credit facility is the maximum permitted Leverage Ratio of 3.00. PV-10 is a financial measure not prepared in accordance with GAAP that differs from a measure under GAAP known as “standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows” in that PV-10 is calculated without including future income taxes. Management believes that the presentation of the PV-10 value of the Company’s oil and natural gas properties is relevant and useful to investors because it presents the estimated discounted future net cash flows attributable to its estimated proved reserves independent of its income tax attributes, thereby isolating the intrinsic value of the estimated future cash flows attributable to its reserves. Management believes the use of a pre-tax measure provides greater comparability of assets when evaluating companies because the timing and quantification of future income taxes is dependent on company-specific factors, many of which are difficult to determine. For these reasons, management uses and believes that the industry generally uses the PV-10 measure in evaluating and comparing acquisition candidates and assessing the potential rate of return on investments in oil and natural gas properties. PV-10 does not necessarily represent the fair market value of oil and natural gas properties. PV-10 is not a measure of financial or operational performance under GAAP, nor should it be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows as defined under GAAP. The Company defines “Cash Return on Capital Employed” or “CROCE” as Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations divided by average debt and shareholder equity for the period. The Company defines All-In Cash Operating Costs, a non-GAAP financial measure, as “all in cash” costs including lease operating expenses, G&A costs excluding share-based compensation, interest expense, workovers and other operating expenses, production, ad valorem taxes, and gathering/transportation costs. Management believes that this metric provides useful additional information to investors to assess the Company’s operating costs in comparison to its peers, which may vary from company to company. Non-GAAP Disclosure 35 Value Focused Proven Strategy | May 7, 2024 | NYSE American: REI Certain financial information included in this Presentation are not measures of financial performance recognized by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures are “Adjusted Net Income,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” or “AFCF,” “Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations” or “ACFFO,” “Cash Return on Capital Employed” or “CROCE,” “PV-10,” “Leverage Ratio” and “All-in Cash Operating Costs.” Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and CROCE are key metrics used to determine a portion of the Company’s incentive compensation awards. These disclosures may not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be reported by other companies. “Adjusted Net Income” is calculated as net income (loss) minus the estimated after-tax impact of share-based compensation, ceiling test impairment, unrealized loss (gain) on change in the fair value of derivatives, and transaction costs for executed acquisitions and divestitures (A&D). Adjusted Net Income is presented because the timing and amount of these items cannot be reasonably estimated and affect the comparability of operating results from period to period, and current period to prior periods. The Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted Net Income provides useful information to investors as it is one of the metrics management uses to assess the Company’s ongoing operating and financial performance, and also is a useful metric for investors to compare our results with our peers. The Company defines “Adjusted EBITDA” as net income (loss) plus net interest expense, unrealized loss (gain) on change in fair value of derivatives, ceiling test impairment, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, asset retirement obligation accretion, transaction costs for executed acquisitions and divestitures (A&D), share-based compensation, loss (gain) on disposal of assets, and backing out the effect of other income. Company management believes Adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful because it helps investors understand Ring’s operating performance and makes it easier to compare its results with those of other companies that have different financing, capital and tax structures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income, as an indication of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA, as Ring calculates it, may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA measures reported by other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for discretionary use. The Company defines “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” or “AFCF” as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities less changes in operating assets and liabilities (as reflected on our Condensed Statements of Cash Flows); plus transaction costs for executed acquisitions and divestitures (A&D); current income tax expense (benefit); proceeds from divestitures of equipment for oil and natural gas properties; loss (gain) on disposal of assets; and less capital expenditures, bad debt expense, and other income. For this purpose, our definition of capital expenditures includes costs incurred related to oil and natural gas properties (such as drilling and infrastructure costs and the lease maintenance costs) but excludes acquisition costs of oil and gas properties from third parties that are not included in our capital expenditures guidance provided to investors. Our management believes that Adjusted Free Cash Flow is an important financial performance measure for use in evaluating the performance and efficiency of our current operating activities after the impact of accrued capital expenditures and net interest expense and without being impacted by items such as changes associated with working capital, which can vary substantially from one period to another. Other companies may use different definitions of Adjusted Free Cash Flow. The table below provides detail of PV-10 to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows as of December 31, 2023. ($ in 000’s) Present value of estimated future net revenues (PV-10) $ 1,647,031 Future income taxes, discounted at 10% 247,846 Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 1,399,185
