RING ENERGY RELEASES THIRD QUARTER 2025 RESULTS AND UPDATES GUIDANCE

The Woodlands, TX – November 6, 2025 – Ring Energy, Inc. (NYSE American: REI) (“Ring” or the “Company”) today reported operational and financial results for the third quarter of 2025 and updated guidance for the remainder of the year.

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights

Sold 13,332 barrels of oil per day (“Bo/d”), near the mid-point of guidance and 20,789 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Boe/d”) which was above the mid-point of guidance;
Reported a net loss of $51.6 million, or $(0.25) per diluted share, which includes $72.9 million of non-cash ceiling test impairment charges, and Adjusted Net Income1 of $13.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share;
Recorded Adjusted EBITDA1 of $47.7 million;
Incurred Lease Operating Expense (“LOE”) of $10.73 per Boe, 2% below the low end of recently lowered guidance due to ongoing efforts to reduce costs;
Invested $24.6 million in capital expenditures which was below the mid-point of guidance;
Generated Adjusted Free Cash Flow (“AFCF”)1 of $13.9 million, and remained cash flow positive for the 24th consecutive quarter; and
Paid down $20 million of debt, exceeding earlier guidance by $2 million and increased liquidity to $157.3 million as of September 30, 2025.

Management Commentary

Mr. Paul D. McKinney, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Ring Energy again maintained strong cash generation and superior capital and operational discipline despite the significant headwinds of volatile commodity prices. During the third quarter of 2025, we met our production guidance and generated $13.9 million of Adjusted Free Cash Flow through the combination of slightly higher realized oil prices, capital savings from our drilling and completion program, and operational savings from below-guidance LOE costs. We applied these savings to debt reduction, paying down $20 million of debt and exceeding our debt reduction guidance by $2 million. We exited the quarter with $157.3 million in liquidity and were cash flow positive for the 24th consecutive quarter. We are pleased to reaffirm that our plan of reducing capital spending year-over-year (“YOY”) by 36% while maintaining a YOY production growth rate of 2% or more is firmly on track.

Mr. McKinney concluded, “As we look forward to the fourth quarter and beyond, our focus remains centered on maximizing free cash flow generation through continued capital discipline and improvements in capital efficiency, reducing operating costs and G&A, and applying these benefits to further debt reduction. If we incur the windfalls of higher oil prices, we will continue this focus until we achieve a leverage ratio that clearly places our balance sheet in a competitive position with our peers and better positions the Company to achieve the size and scale necessary to sustainably implement a capital return framework to our stockholders.”

(1) A summary listing of the Company’s outstanding derivative positions at September 30, 2025 is included in the tables shown later in this release. For the remainder (October through December) of 2025, the Company has approximately 0.6 million barrels of oil (approximately 53% of oil sales guidance midpoint) hedged at an average downside protection price of $62.08 and approximately 0.6 billion cubic feet of natural gas (approximately 33% of natural gas sales guidance midpoint) hedged at an average downside protection price of $3.27.


Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Total liquidity (defined as cash and cash equivalents plus borrowing base availability under the Company’s credit facility) at September 30, 2025 was approximately $157.3 million, consisting of $157.0 million of availability under Ring’s revolving credit facility, which included a reduction of $35 thousand for letters of credit, and $0.3 million in cash and cash equivalents. On September 30, 2025, the Company had $428 million in borrowings outstanding on its credit facility that has a current borrowing base of $585 million. This reflects a reduction of $20 million from the balance of $448 million at June 30, 2025. The Company is targeting continued debt reduction, dependent on market conditions, the timing and level of capital spending, and other considerations.

Ceiling Test Impairment

The Company accounts for its assets under the full cost method of accounting, which requires calculation of the limitation on capitalized costs (the full cost ceiling) each quarter. Due to a decrease in the twelve month average commodity pricing over the past few months, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $72.9 million in the third quarter of 2025. This non-cash charge had no net impact on cash flows.

Drilling and Completion Activity

In 3Q 2025 in the Central Basin Platform, the Company drilled, completed, and placed on production five wells. This included three 1-mile horizontal wells in Andrews County, one 1-mile horizontal well in Crane County, and one vertical well in Crane County. All wells had a working interest of 100%.

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,” “All-In Cash Operating Costs,” and “Cash Operating Margin.” Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of performance. 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 Ring’s results with its peers.

Reconciliation of Net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA

The Company defines “Adjusted EBITDA” as net income (loss) plus net interest expense (including interest income and 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 (as reflected on Ring’s Condensed Statements of Cash Flows) less changes in operating assets and liabilities, and 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, credit loss expense, and other income. For this purpose, the Company’s definition of capital expenditures includes costs incurred related to oil and natural gas properties (such as drilling and infrastructure costs and lease maintenance costs) but excludes acquisition costs of oil and gas properties from third parties that are not included in Ring’s capital expenditures guidance provided to investors. Management believes that Adjusted Free Cash Flow is an important financial performance measure for use in evaluating the performance and efficiency of the Company’s current operating activities after the impact of capital expenditures and net interest expense (including interest income and expense, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) 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 Ring’s 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 financial performance 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 pursuant to the Company’s existing senior revolving credit facility and means as of any date, the ratio of (i) Consolidated Total Debt as of such date to (ii) 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 the credit facility.

The Company defines “Consolidated Total Debt” in accordance with its existing senior revolving credit facility and means, as of any date, all Indebtedness of the Company on a consolidated basis as of such date, but excluding hedging obligations.

The Company defines “Indebtedness” in accordance with its existing senior revolving credit facility and generally means (i) all obligations of the Company for borrowed money, (ii) all obligations of the Company evidenced by notes or other similar instruments, (iii) all obligations of the Company in respect of the deferred purchase price of property or services, (iv) all obligations of the Company under any conditional sale relating to property acquired the Company, (v) all capital lease obligations of the Company, (vi) all obligations, contingent or otherwise, of the Company in respect of letters of credit or similar extensions of credit, (vii) all guarantees of the Company of the type of Indebtedness described in clauses (i) through (vi) above, (viii) all Indebtedness of a third party secured by any lien on property owned by the Company, whether or not such Indebtedness has been assumed by the Company, (ix) all off-balance sheet liabilities, (x) all hedging obligations and (xi) the undischarged balance of any production payment created by the Company or for the creation of which the Company directly or indirectly received payment.

The Company defines “Consolidated EBITDAX” in accordance with its existing senior revolving credit facility and 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, (C) depreciation, depletion and amortization determined on a consolidated basis, (D) exploration expenses determined on a consolidated basis, and (E) all other non-cash charges reasonably acceptable to the administrative agent, 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 under the credit facility, to the extent that during such period the Company has consummated an acquisition permitted by the credit facility or any sale, transfer or other disposition of any property or assets permitted by the credit facility, Consolidated EBITDAX will be calculated on a pro forma basis with respect to the property or assets acquired or disposed of.

The maximum permitted Leverage Ratio under the senior revolving credit facility is 3.00. The following tables show the leverage ratio calculations for the quarters ended September 30, 2025 and September 30, 2024.

All-In Cash Operating Costs

The Company defines All-In Cash Operating Costs, a non-GAAP financial measure, as “all in cash” costs which includes lease operating expenses, G&A costs excluding share-based compensation, net interest expense (including interest income and expense, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), workovers and other operating expenses, production taxes, 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.
