1.b. Last Insights on REI

The recent performance of Ring Energy, Inc. was negatively impacted by several factors. The company's Q4 2024 earnings and revenues missed estimates, with a quarterly earnings of $0.06 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.08 per share. This was partly due to escalating costs and a decline in oil prices. Additionally, the company's acquisition strategy, which aimed to boost free cash flow, has increased its leverage to near 2.0x at the end of 2025, a step back from its previous debt reduction efforts.

2. Ring Energy's Q3 2025 Earnings: Operational Excellence Amidst Challenging Commodity Prices

Ring Energy reported a strong third quarter in 2025, with oil sales reaching 13,332 barrels per day, slightly below the midpoint of their guidance. The company's adjusted free cash flow was $13.9 million, enabling them to reduce debt by $20 million. Adjusted EBITDA was $47.7 million, down from $51.5 million in the second quarter, primarily due to lower oil revenue and higher cash G&A expenses. Earnings per share (EPS) came in at $0.06, beating estimates of $0.05. Revenue was not directly stated, but the company's ability to generate adjusted free cash flow and reduce debt is a positive indicator of their financial performance.

📋 Highlights
  • Adjusted Free Cash Flow: Generated $13.9 million in Q3 2025, enabling $20 million debt reduction despite lower oil prices.
  • Capital Efficiency: Spent $24.6 million on capital, near the low end of guidance, with lifting costs at $10.73/BOE (below guidance range).
  • Debt Reduction Guidance: Anticipated $8–14 million debt paydown in Q4 2025, including potential $3–5 million from non-core asset sales.
  • Operational Execution: Oil sales averaged 13,332 barrels/day, slightly below guidance midpoint, while maintaining disciplined cost control.
  • 2026 Outlook: Projected debt reduction of ~$10 million in Q4 2025, with organic growth prioritized through inventory drilling and asset optimization.

Operational Highlights

The company's operational performance was notable, with lifting costs of $10.73 per BOE, below the low end of their guidance range for the second consecutive quarter. This was driven by cost-cutting efforts in the field, demonstrating Ring Energy's ability to manage costs effectively. Capital spending during the quarter was $24.6 million, near the low end of their guidance range.

Debt Reduction and Balance Sheet

Ring Energy's focus on debt reduction is evident, with a $20 million reduction in debt during the quarter. The company's leverage ratio is expected to improve further, with management anticipating additional debt reduction in the fourth quarter. The current working guidance for 2026 is hypothetical, but the company is focused on maintaining its capital discipline and flexibility.

Valuation and Growth Prospects

With a P/E Ratio of -13.03 and a P/S Ratio of 0.89, the market is pricing in challenging prospects for Ring Energy. However, analysts estimate revenue growth of 7.0% for next year, indicating potential for improvement. The company's EV/EBITDA ratio is 5.17, suggesting a relatively reasonable valuation. As Ring Energy continues to focus on debt reduction, cost management, and organic growth opportunities, their prospects may improve, potentially leading to a revaluation of the stock.

Organic Growth Opportunities

Ring Energy is identifying opportunities for organic growth, particularly in the Central Basin Platform and Northwest Shelf. The company is building its undeveloped inventory to deliver growth through organic means when oil prices return and its balance sheet is stronger. As Paul McKinney noted, organic developed opportunities are typically more economic than acquisitions, which is why the company is prioritizing this strategy.
