NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.    GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of RPC, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (RPC or the Company) and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 810, “Consolidation” and Rule 3A-02(a) of Regulation S-X. In accordance with ASC Topic 810 and Rule 3A-02 (a) of Regulation S-X, the Company’s policy is to consolidate all subsidiaries and investees where it has voting control.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (all of which consisted of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2023 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

A group that includes Gary W. Rollins, Pamela R. Rollins, Amy Rollins Kreisler and Timothy C. Rollins, each of whom is a director of the Company, and certain companies under their control, controls in excess of fifty percent of the Company’s voting power.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the current year.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted:

Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2023-07: Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures: These amendments require an entity to disclose the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) and the significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. These amendments are effective for annual disclosures beginning in 2024 and interim disclosures beginning in the first quarter of 2025, with early adoption permitted. These amendments are effective retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting these provisions on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2023-09: Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures: These amendments require an entity to include consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid, disaggregated by jurisdiction. These amendments are effective for annual disclosures beginning in 2025, with early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting these provisions on its consolidated financial statements.

Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Final Rules: Climate related Disclosure: The SEC adopted final rules designed to enhance public company disclosures related to the risks and impacts of climate-related matters. The new rules require disclosures relating to climate-related risks and risk management as well as the board and management’s governance of such risks. In addition, the rules include requirements to disclose the financial effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions in the audited financial statements and disclose information about greenhouse gas emissions, which will be subject to a phased-in assurance requirement. On April 4, 2024, the SEC stayed its climate disclosure rules to “facilitate the orderly judicial resolution” of pending legal challenges. If litigation is resolved in favor of the SEC, a majority of the final rules are effective for RPC beginning in the year 2026.

3. BUSINESS ACQUISITION

Effective July 1, 2023 (Effective Date), the Company completed its acquisition of all of the outstanding equity interests in Spinnaker Oilwell Services, LLC (Spinnaker), pursuant to a Merger Agreement (Merger Agreement) with Catapult Energy Services Group, LLC, as the representative of the Sellers.

Spinnaker, headquartered in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, is a leading provider of oilfield cementing services in the Permian and Mid-Continent basins. Spinnaker operates two facilities located in El Reno, Oklahoma and Hobbs, New Mexico and maintains 18 full-service cementing spreads. This acquisition significantly expanded RPC's cementing business from its presence in South Texas to basins in which it currently provides other services. Spinnaker is included in our Technical Services Segment. As part of the acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $18.7 million and intangible assets of $13.2 million consisting of customer relationships and trade names and trademarks.

The supplemental pro forma financial information presented below has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and is based on the historical financial information of Spinnaker and RPC. This proforma financial information does not necessarily represent what the combined company’s revenues or results of operations would have been had the acquisition been completed on January 1, 2023, nor do they intend to be a projection of future operating results of the combined company. It also does not reflect any operating efficiencies or potential cost savings that might be achieved from synergies of combining Spinnaker and RPC.

The following table provides unaudited supplemental pro forma financial information as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2023.

Revenues	$	364,153	$	442,815	$	741,986	$	944,283
Net income		32,419		69,585		59,886		145,682

4.    REVENUES

Accounting Policy:

RPC’s contract revenues are generated principally from providing oilfield services. These services are based on mutually agreed upon pricing with the customer prior to the services being delivered and, given the nature of the services, do not include the right of return. Pricing for these services is a function of rates based on the nature of the specific job, with consideration for the extent of equipment, labor, and consumables needed for the job. RPC typically satisfies its performance obligations over time as the services are performed. RPC records revenues based on the transaction price agreed upon with its customers.

Sales tax charged to customers is presented on a net basis within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and therefore excluded from revenues.

Nature of services:

RPC provides a broad range of specialized oilfield services to independent and major oil and gas companies engaged in the exploration, production and development of oil and gas properties throughout the United States and in selected international markets. RPC manages its business as either (1) services offered on the well site with equipment and personnel (Technical Services) or (2) services and tools offered off the well site (Support Services). For more detailed information about operating segments, see note titled Business Segment Information.

Our contracts with customers are generally short-term in nature and generally consist of a single performance obligation – the provision of oilfield services. RPC contracts with its customers to provide the following services by reportable segment:

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Technical Services

●Includes pressure pumping, downhole tools services, coiled tubing, cementing, nitrogen, snubbing and other oilfield related services including wireline, well control, fishing, and water management.

Support Services

●Rental tools – RPC rents tools to its customers for use with onshore and offshore oil and gas well drilling, completion and workover activities.

●Other support services include oilfield pipe inspection services, pipe management and pipe storage and well control training.

Payment terms:

RPC’s contracts with customers state the final terms of the sales, including the description, quantity, and price of each service to be delivered. The Company’s contracts are generally short-term in nature and in most situations, RPC provides services ahead of payment - i.e., RPC has fulfilled the performance obligation prior to submitting a customer invoice. RPC invoices the customer upon completion of the specified services and collection is generally expected between 30 to 60 days after invoicing. As the Company enters into contracts with its customers, it generally expects there to be no significant timing difference between the date the services are provided to the customer (satisfaction of the performance obligation) and the date cash consideration is received. Accordingly, there is no financing component to our arrangements with customers.

Significant judgments:

RPC believes the output method is a reasonable measure of progress for the satisfaction of our performance obligations, which are satisfied over time, as it provides a faithful depiction of (1) our performance toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation under the contract and (2) the value transferred to the customer of the services performed under the contract. RPC has elected the right to invoice practical expedient for recognizing revenue related to its performance obligations.

Disaggregation of revenues:

See note titled Business Segment Information for disaggregation of revenue by operating segment and services offered in each of them and by geographic regions.

Contract balances:

Contract assets representing the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed are included in accounts receivable, net in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and are shown below:

	June 30,		December 31,
(in thousands)	2024		2023
Unbilled trade receivables	$	76,271	$	59,831

Substantially all of the unbilled trade receivables disclosed were, or are expected to be, invoiced during the following quarter.

Unearned revenue

Contract liabilities represent payments received in advance of satisfying the Company’s performance obligation and are recognized over time as the service is performed. All of the $15.7 million recorded as unearned revenue as of December 31, 2023 has been recognized as revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

In addition, the Company has periodically issued share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends and are therefore considered participating securities. The following table shows the restricted shares of common stock (participating securities) outstanding and a reconciliation of outstanding weighted average shares:

7.    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company has issued various forms of stock incentives, including incentive and non-qualified stock options, time-lapse restricted shares and performance share unit awards under its Stock Incentive Plans to officers, selected employees and non-employee directors. The Company’s 2014 Stock Incentive Plan expired in April 2024. At the April 23, 2024, annual meeting of stockholders, the 2024 Stock Incentive Plan reserving 8,000,000 shares for the issuance of share-based payment awards described above was approved. As of June 30, 2024, there were 7,324,824 shares available for grant under the Company’s 2024 Stock Incentive Plan.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company issued time-lapse restricted shares to its officers and other selected employees that will vest ratably over a period of three years. The Company had previously issued time-lapse restricted shares to certain other selected employees in the first quarter of 2024 with the same vesting provisions as the current quarter. Also, during the second quarter of 2024, officers and selected employees were granted performance share unit awards that vest at different levels based on pre-established financial performance targets with a modifier for stock performance based on total shareholder return. The grant date fair value of the awards was determined with the assistance of a third-party specialist based on a range of potential outcomes relative to the market condition. The Company periodically evaluates the portion of performance share unit awards that are probable to vest and updates compensation expense accruals accordingly. In accordance with the terms of their Director Compensation Program, equity grants in the form of fully vested Company shares totaling approximately $400 thousand were awarded to all non-employee directors, in the second quarter of 2024.

8.    BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION

RPC’s reportable segments are the same as its operating segments. RPC manages its business under Technical Services and Support Services. Technical Services is comprised of service lines that generate revenue based on equipment, personnel or materials at the well site and are closely aligned with completion and production activities of our customers. Support Services is comprised of service lines which generate revenue from services and tools offered off the well site and are more closely aligned with the customers’ drilling activities. Selected overhead including certain centralized support services and regulatory compliance are classified as Corporate.

Technical Services consists primarily of pressure pumping, downhole tools, coiled tubing, cementing, snubbing, nitrogen, well control, wireline, fishing and water management. The services offered under Technical Services are high capital and personnel intensive businesses. The Company considers all of these services to be closely integrated oil and gas well servicing businesses and makes resource allocation and performance assessment decisions based on this operating segment as a whole across these various services.

Support Services consist primarily of drill pipe and related tools, pipe handling, pipe inspection and storage services, and oilfield training services. The demand for these services tends to be influenced primarily by customer drilling-related activity levels.

The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) assesses performance and makes resource allocation decisions regarding, among others, staffing, growth and maintenance capital expenditures and key initiatives based on the operating segments outlined above.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those referenced in Note 1 to these consolidated financial statements. RPC evaluates the performance of its segments based on revenues, operating profits and return on invested capital. Gains or losses on disposition of assets are reviewed by the CODM on a consolidated basis, and accordingly the Company does not report gains or losses at the segment level. Inter-segment revenues are generally recorded in segment operating results at prices that management believes approximate prices for arm’s length transactions and are not material to operating results.

Summarized financial information with respect RPC’s reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and 2023 are shown in the following table:

9.    CURRENT EXPECTED CREDIT LOSSES

The Company utilizes an expected credit loss model for valuing its accounts receivable, a financial asset measured at amortized cost. The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily from providing oilfield services. The Company’s expected allowance for credit losses for accounts receivable is based on historical collection experience, current and future economic and market conditions and a review of the current status of customers’ account receivable balances. Due to the short-term nature of such receivables, the estimated amount of accounts receivable that may not be collected is based on aging of the accounts receivable balances and the financial condition of customers. Additionally, specific allowance amounts are established to record the appropriate provision for customers that have a higher probability of default. The Company’s monitoring activities include timely account reconciliation, dispute resolution, payment confirmation, consideration of customers’ financial condition and macroeconomic conditions. Balances are written off when determined to be uncollectible and recoveries of amounts previously written off are recorded when collected.

The following table provides a roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of accounts receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected:

12.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Sales and Use Taxes - The Company has ongoing sales and use tax audits in various jurisdictions and may be subjected to varying interpretations of statute that could result in unfavorable outcomes. In accordance with ASC 450-20, Loss Contingencies, any probable and reasonable estimates of assessment costs have been included in Accrued state, local and other taxes.

The Company has an outstanding state tax notification of audit results related to sales and use tax and with its outside legal counsel has evaluated the perceived merits of this tax assessment. The Company believes the likelihood of a material loss related to this contingency is remote and cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Therefore, no loss has been recorded and the Company currently does not believe the resolution of this claim will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

13.     RETIREMENT PLANS

The Company’s multiemployer Retirement Income Plan (Plan), a trusteed defined benefit pension plan, was fully terminated in 2023. Amounts related to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 is disclosed below:

life insurance policies as a funding source to satisfy the obligation of the SERP that have been classified as trading and are stated at fair value totaling $29.6 million as of June 30, 2024, and $26.8 million as of December 31, 2023. Trading gains related to the SERP assets totaled $425 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to trading gains of $808 thousand during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Trading gains related to the SERP assets totaled $1.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to trading gains of $1.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023. The SERP assets are reported in non-current Other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and changes in the fair value of these assets are reported in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations as compensation cost in Selling, general and administrative expenses.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company recorded tax-free gains of $1.2 million related to Company-owned life insurance policy claims; these gains have been recorded as an adjustment to compensation cost within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Claim proceeds received totaling $2.4 million have been reinvested into mutual funds held as SERP assets and disclosed as part of the investing activities section in the Consolidated Statements of Cashflows.

The SERP liabilities include participant deferrals, net of distributions, and are stated at fair value of approximately $24.6 million as of June 30, 2024, and $23.7 million as of December 31, 2023. The SERP liabilities are reported in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets in Retirement plan liabilities and any change in the fair value is recorded as compensation cost within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes in the fair value of the SERP liabilities was the result of an increase of $454 thousand due to unrealized gains on participant balances during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to an increase of $872 thousand due to unrealized gain on participant deferrals during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Changes in the fair value of the SERP liabilities resulted in unrealized gains of $1.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to unrealized gains of $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

14.    NOTES PAYABLE TO BANKS

The Company has a revolving Credit Agreement with Bank of America and four other lenders which provides for a line of credit of up to $100.0 million, including a $35.0 million letter of credit subfacility, and a $35.0 million swingline subfacility. The facility contains customary terms and conditions, including restrictions on indebtedness, dividend payments, business combinations and other related items. The revolving credit facility includes a full and unconditional guarantee by the Company's 100% owned domestic subsidiaries whose assets equal substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement has a maturity date of June 22, 2027.

The Credit Agreement contains three financial covenants. When RPC’s trailing four quarter EBITDA (as calculated under the Credit Agreement) is equal to or greater than $50.0 million: (i) the consolidated leverage ratio cannot exceed 2.50:1.00 and (ii) the debt service coverage ratio must be equal to or greater than 2.00:1.00; otherwise, the minimum tangible net worth must be greater than or equal to $400.0 million.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

Revolving loans under the amended revolving credit facility bear interest at one of the following two rates at the Company’s election:

● Term SOFR; plus, a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.25%, based on a quarterly consolidated leverage ratio calculation, and an additional SOFR Adjustment ranging from 0.10% to 0.30% depending upon maturity length; or

● the Base Rate, which is a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) Bank of America’s publicly announced, “prime rate,” (c) the Term SOFR plus 1.00%, or (d) 1.00%; in each case plus a margin that ranges from 0.25% to 1.25% based on a quarterly consolidated leverage ratio calculation.

16

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

In addition, the Company pays an annual fee ranging from 0.20% to 0.30%, based on a quarterly consolidated leverage ratio calculation, on the unused portion of the credit facility.

The Company has incurred total loan origination fees and other debt related costs associated with this revolving credit facility in the aggregate of approximately $3.7 million. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the loan, and the remaining unamortized balance of approximately $219 thousand as of June 30, 2024, is classified as part of non-current Other assets.

As of June 30, 2024, RPC had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, and letters of credit outstanding relating to self-insurance programs and contract bids totaled $16.6 million; therefore, a total of $83.4 million of the facility was available. Interest incurred, which includes facility fees on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility and the amortization of loan costs, and interest paid on the credit facility were as follows for the periods indicated:

	Three months ended				Six months ended
	June 30,				June 30,
(in thousands)	2024		2023		2024		2023
Interest incurred	$	74	$	61	$	147	$	120
Interest paid		42		42		84		83

15.  INCOME TAXES

The Company generally determines its periodic income tax expense or benefit based upon the current period income or loss and the annual estimated tax rate for the Company adjusted for discrete items including changes to prior period estimates. In certain instances, the Company uses the discrete method when it believes the actual year-to-date effective rate provides a more reliable estimate of its income tax rate for the period. The estimated tax rate is revised, if necessary, at the end of each successive interim period to the Company’s current annual estimated tax rate.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the effective rate reflects a provision of 17.8% compared to a provision of 24.1% for the comparable period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the effective rate reflects a provision of 20.5% compared to a provision of 23.6% for the comparable period in the prior year. The decrease in the 2024 effective tax rate is primarily due to favorable discrete adjustments resulting from the expiration of statute limitations and refunds received.

16.  FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

The various inputs used to measure assets at fair value establish a hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data (observable inputs) and the Company’s assumptions (unobservable inputs). The hierarchy consists of three broad levels as follows:

1.Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

2.Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

3.Level 3 – Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use.

The Company determines the fair value of equity securities that have a readily determinable fair value through quoted market prices. The total fair value is the final closing price, as defined by the exchange in which the asset is actively traded, on the last trading day of the period, multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. Equity securities are stated at fair value of approximately $4 thousand as of December 31, 2023. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company sold all of its investment in equity securities. The net gain from sales of the equity securities was insignificant.

17

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Trading securities are comprised of the SERP assets, as described in the note titled Retirement Plans, and are recorded primarily at their net cash surrender values, calculated using their net asset values, which approximates fair value, as provided by the issuing insurance or investment company. Significant observable inputs, in addition to quoted market prices, were used to value the equity securities. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers between levels at the beginning of quarterly reporting periods. For the quarter ended June 30, 2024, there were no significant transfers in or out of levels 1, 2 or 3.

Under the Company’s revolving credit facility, there was no balance outstanding at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility are typically based on the quote from the lender (level 2 inputs), which approximates fair value, and bear variable interest rates as described in the note titled Notes Payable to Banks. The Company is subject to interest rate risk, to the extent there are outstanding borrowings on the variable component of the interest rate.

The carrying amounts of other financial instruments reported in the balance sheet for current assets and current liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments. The Company currently does not use the fair value option to measure any of its existing financial instruments and has not determined whether it will elect this option for financial instruments acquired in the future.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this document. See also Forward-Looking Statements on page 26.

RPC, Inc. (RPC or the Company) provides a broad range of specialized oilfield services primarily to independent and major oilfield companies engaged in exploration, production and development of oil and gas properties throughout the United States, including the Gulf of Mexico, mid-continent, southwest, Rocky Mountain and Appalachian regions, and in selected international locations. The Company’s revenues and profits are generated by providing equipment and services to customers who operate oil and gas properties and invest capital to drill new wells and enhance production or perform maintenance on existing wells. We continuously monitor factors that impact current and expected customer activity levels, such as the prices of oil and natural gas, changes in pricing for our services and equipment, and utilization of our equipment and personnel. Our financial results are affected by geopolitical factors such as political instability in the petroleum-producing regions of the world, the actions of the OPEC oil cartel, overall economic conditions and weather in the United States, the prices of oil and natural gas, other shifting trends in our industry, and our customers’ drilling and production activities.

The discussion of our key business and financial strategies set forth under the Overview section in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, is incorporated herein by reference. In 2024, the Company’s strategy of utilizing equipment in unconventional basins has continued. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, capital expenditures totaled $129.2 million, primarily for capitalized maintenance and upgrades of our existing equipment, coupled with a new Tier 4 dual-fuel fleet that was placed into service during the second quarter of 2024. We currently expect capital expenditures to be between $200 million and $250 million during 2024 and to be directed primarily towards capitalized maintenance of our existing equipment and selected growth opportunities.

During the second quarter of 2024, total revenues of $364.2 million decreased by $51.7 million or 12.4% compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease in revenues is primarily due to lower pressure pumping activity levels and more competitive pricing, partially offset by revenues from the Company’s acquisition of Spinnaker. Pressure pumping remains highly competitive. Management believes the industry continues to be over-supplied, with frac fleets from gassy basins moving into the Permian over the past year and efficiency gains that are consistently adding pump hour capacity to the industry. These challenges have resulted in lower activity, asset utilization, and lower pricing. International revenues represented 2.9% of total revenues in the second quarter of 2024 compared to 1.5% in the same period of the prior year. We believe that international revenues will continue to be less than ten percent of RPC’s consolidated revenues in the foreseeable future.

Cost of revenues decreased to $262.3 million in the second quarter of 2024 from $265.8 million in the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to reduced expenses consistent with lower activity levels, such as materials and supplies expenses, maintenance and repairs expenses and fuel costs. These costs decreased less than the revenue decrease given the fixed nature of some of these costs, including labor, and the timing of maintenance and repairs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $37.4 million in the second quarter of 2024 from $43.6 million in the second quarter of 2023 primarily due to a decrease in variable expenses consistent with lower activity levels, coupled with a decrease in legal-related costs due to the settlement of a vendor dispute in the second quarter of 2023, partially offset by operating expenses from the Spinnaker acquisition.

Income before income taxes was $39.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $85.6 million during the same period of 2023. Diluted earnings per share were $0.15 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $0.30 per share in the same period of 2023. Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $184.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $177.6 million in the same period of 2023 primarily due to favorable changes in working capital due primarily to a $52.8 million federal tax refund received during the second quarter of 2024, partially offset by a decrease in net income during the first six months of 2024 compared to the same period in the prior year.

Outlook

The current and projected prices of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids are important catalysts for U.S. domestic drilling activity and can be impacted by economic developments as well as geopolitical disruptions, such as the continuing conflicts in the Middle East as well as Russia and Ukraine. RPC believes that oil prices remain at or above levels sufficient to motivate our customers to continue drilling and completion activities.

The majority of the U.S. domestic rig count remains directed towards oil. During the second quarter of 2024, approximately 82% of the U.S. domestic rig count was directed towards oil, slightly above the prior year. We believe that oil-directed drilling will remain the majority of domestic drilling, and that natural gas-directed drilling will remain a low percentage of U.S. domestic drilling in the near term. However, we believe that natural gas-directed drilling will increase in the future because of favorable long-term market dynamics. This projected higher demand for natural gas should drive increased activity in most of the basins in which RPC operates.

We continue to monitor the market for our services and the competitive environment, including the current trends and expectations with regard to environmental concerns and related impact on our equipment fleets. The growing efficiency in recent years with which oilfield completion crews are providing services is a catalyst for the oversupplied nature of the oilfield services market.

We have selectively upgraded our existing equipment to operate using multiple fuel sources and to take advantage of advances in technology and data collection. RPC continues to maintain and upgrade our current fleet capacity of revenue-producing equipment. We intend to remain highly disciplined about investing in new incremental revenue-producing equipment capacity and will only make such investments if we believe the projected financial returns of such capital expenditures meet our financial return criteria. Furthermore, the Company does not intend to add incremental pressure pumping capacity to the industry given the oversupplied nature of oilfield services mentioned above. The Company is allocating capital to maintain the capacity of our pressure pumping fleet to offset anticipated future fleet retirements and is evaluating future investments and options to further transition our asset base toward dual-fuel or electric equipment. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company replaced a Tier 2 diesel fleet with a new Tier 4 dual-fuel fleet.

Effective July 1, 2023, the Company acquired Spinnaker Oilwell Services, LLC (Spinnaker), a leading provider of oilfield cementing services in the Permian and Mid-Continent basins. The acquisition of Spinnaker expanded RPC’s legacy cementing business in South Texas to basins in which we currently provide other services. See the note titled Business Acquisition for additional information.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

Revenues. Revenues of $364.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, decreased 12.4% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in revenues is primarily due to lower pressure pumping activity levels and competitive pricing, partially offset by financial results from the Company’s acquisition of Spinnaker. While pressure pumping revenues showed the most significant decline in the business, several service lines were stable or increased compared to the prior year period.

During the second quarter of 2024, the average price of oil was 11.2% higher but the average price of natural gas was 4.2% lower, both as compared to the same period in the prior year. The average domestic rig count (Source: Baker Hughes, Inc.) for the three months ended June 30, 2024, was 16.1% lower than the same period in 2023.

The Technical Services segment revenues for the second quarter of 2024 decreased by 12.4% compared to the same period of the prior year due primarily to a decrease in Pressure Pumping revenues due to lower industry activity and more competitive pricing, partially offset by financial results from the Company’s recent acquisition of Spinnaker. Technical Services reported operating income of $30.2 million during the second quarter of 2024 compared to operating income of $77.0 million in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease in Technical Services operating income was primarily due to lower activity levels and pricing in pressure pumping, and the related negative leverage of fixed costs, particularly labor. Support Services segment revenues for the second quarter of 2024 decreased by 12.3% compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to lower activity levels within rental tools. Support Services reported operating income of $4.4 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to operating income of $7.9 million for the second quarter of 2023. Second quarter 2024 Support Services operating profit decreased by $3.5 million compared to the second quarter of the prior year due to lower activity levels and lower revenues over costs that are relatively fixed during the short term.

Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues decreased 1.3% to $262.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $265.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Cost of revenues decreased primarily due to reduced expenses consistent with lower activity levels, such as materials and supplies expenses, maintenance and repairs expenses and fuel costs. These costs decreased less than the revenue decrease given the fixed nature of some of these costs, including labor, and the timing of maintenance and repairs. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) Topic 11.B, cost of revenues presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations excludes depreciation and amortization totaling $29.5 million for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $23.9 million for the second quarter of 2023.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $37.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $43.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in variable expenses consistent with lower activity levels, coupled with a decrease in legal-related costs due to the settlement of a vendor dispute in the second quarter of 2023, partially offset by operating expenses from the Spinnaker acquisition.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased 23.4% to $32.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $26.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Depreciation and amortization increased due to capital expenditures in the past year, coupled with additional depreciation from the acquisition of Spinnaker.

Gain on disposition of assets, net. Gain on disposition of assets, net was $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to a gain on disposition of assets, net of $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The gain on disposition of assets, net is generally comprised of gains and losses related to various property and equipment dispositions or sales to customers of lost or damaged rental equipment.

Other income, net. Other income, net was $732 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $631 thousand for the same period in the prior year.

Interest expense and interest income. Interest expense increased to $99 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $73 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Interest expense includes facility fees on the unused portion of the credit facility and the amortization of loan costs. Interest income increased to $3.3 million compared to $2.7 million in the prior year due to a higher average cash balance coupled with higher investment yields.

Income tax provision. Income tax provision was $7.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $20.6 million tax provision for the same period in 2023. The effective tax rate was 17.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2024,

22

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

compared to 24.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in the 2024 effective tax rate is primarily due to favorable discrete adjustments resulting from the expiration of statute limitations and interest on refunds received.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024, COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023

Revenues. Revenues of $742.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased 16.9% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in revenues is primarily due to lower industry activity levels across service lines and competitive pricing, partially offset by financial results from the Company’s recent acquisition of Spinnaker.

During the first six months of 2024, the average price of oil was 6.5% higher but the average price of natural gas was 12.4% lower, both as compared to the same period in the prior year. The average domestic rig count (Source: Baker Hughes, Inc.) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was 17.2% lower than the same period in 2023.

The Technical Services segment revenues for the first six months of 2024 decreased by 17.1% compared to the same period of the prior year due primarily to a decrease in Pressure Pumping revenues, as well as most other service lines, due to lower industry activity and more competitive pricing, partially offset by financial results from the Company’s recent acquisition of Spinnaker. Technical Services reported operating income of $62.2 million during the first six months of 2024 compared to operating income of $180.6 million during the first six months of 2023. The decrease in Technical Services operating income was primarily due to a decrease in pressure pumping activity, competitive pricing and reduced fixed cost absorption. Support Services segment revenues for the first six months of 2024 decreased by 12.7% compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to lower activity levels within rental tools. Support Services reported operating income of $8.0 million for the first six months of 2024 compared to operating income of $14.6 million for the first six months of 2023. Support Services operating profit for the first six months of 2024 decreased by $6.6 million compared to the first six months of the prior year due to lower activity levels and lower revenues over costs that are relatively fixed during the short term.

Income tax provision. Income tax provision was $15.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $42.3 million tax provision for the same period in 2023. The effective provision rate was 20.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 23.6% effective provision rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The decrease in the 2024 effective tax rate is primarily due to favorable discrete adjustments resulting from the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and interest on refunds received.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents increased $38.2 million to $261.5 million as of June 30, 2024, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $223.3 million as of December 31, 2023.

The following table sets forth the historical cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

	Six months ended June 30,
(In thousands)	2024		2023
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	184,487	$	177,558
Net cash used for investing activities		(118,916)		(174,782)
Net cash used for financing activities		(27,365)		(28,665)

Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, increased by $6.9 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to favorable changes in working capital, partially offset by a decrease in net income. Change in working capital was a source of cash of $56.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to being a use of cash of $28.4 million in the same period last year. Change in working capital was a source of cash in the current quarter primarily due to the following: a decrease of $44.0 million in taxes receivable including a $52.8 million federal tax refund received during the second quarter of 2024, coupled with a $21.7 million decrease in accounts receivable, partially offset by an unfavorable change of $15.7 million in unearned revenue. The decrease in unearned revenue was due to the satisfaction of performance obligations that were associated with a customer cash prepayment we received in 2023. The changes in the other components were mainly due to the timing of payments and receipts.

Cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $55.9 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to the advance of cash to fund the purchase of Spinnaker on June 30, 2023, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures primarily due to the timing of new equipment deliveries. Capital expenditures were $127.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $104.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Cash used for financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $1.3 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to a decrease in repurchases of the Company’s common shares in the open market.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

The Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2024, remains strong. We believe the liquidity provided by our existing cash and cash equivalents and our overall strong capitalization will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our requirements for at least the next twelve months. The Company’s decisions relating to the amount of cash to be used for investing and financing activities are influenced by our capital position, and the expected amount of cash to be provided by operations. RPC does not currently expect to utilize our revolving credit facility to meet these liquidity requirements.

The majority of our cash and cash equivalents are held at a single financial institution and are in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). This financial institution is among the largest in the United States and we believe it is a safe place to hold our deposits.

The Company currently has a $100.0 million revolving credit facility that matures in June 2027. The facility contains customary terms and conditions, including restrictions on indebtedness, dividend payments, business combinations and other related items. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company amended the revolving credit facility. Among other matters, the amendment (1) extends the

24

RPC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

termination date for revolving loans from July 26, 2024 to June 22, 2027, (2) replaces LIBOR with Term SOFR as an interest rate option in connection with revolving loan borrowings and reduces the applicable rate margins by approximately 0.25% at each pricing level, (3) introduces a 1.00% per annum floor for base rate borrowings, (4) permits the issuance of letters of credit in currencies other than U.S. dollars. As of June 30, 2024, RPC had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, and letters of credit outstanding relating to self-insurance programs and contract bids totaled $16.4 million; therefore, a total of $83.6 million of the facility was available. The Company was in compliance with the credit facility financial covenants as of June 30, 2024. For additional information with respect to RPC’s facility, see the note titled Notes Payable to Banks of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Cash Requirements

The Company currently expects capital expenditures to be between $200 million and $250 million in 2024 and to be directed towards both capitalized maintenance of our existing equipment and selected growth opportunities. The Company is allocating capital to maintain the capacity of our pressure pumping fleet to offset anticipated future fleet retirements and is evaluating future investments and options to further transition our asset base toward dual-fuel or electric equipment. During the second quarter of 2024, the Company replaced a Tier 2 diesel fleet with a new Tier 4 dual-fuel fleet. The actual amount of capital expenditures in 2024 will depend primarily on equipment maintenance requirements and equipment delivery schedules.

The Company has ongoing sales and use tax audits in various jurisdictions subject to varying interpretations of statutes. The Company has recorded the exposure from these audits to the extent issues are resolved or are probable and reasonably estimable. There are issues that could result in unfavorable outcomes that cannot be currently estimated. See note of the Consolidated Financial Statements titled Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.

The Company has a stock buyback program to repurchase up to 49,578,125 shares in the open market, including an additional 8,000,000 shares authorized for repurchase by the Board of Directors in the second quarter of 2023. As of June 30, 2024, 12,768,870 shares remained available to be repurchased. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, there were no shares repurchased by the Company in the open market. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company repurchased 1,132,364 shares in the open market. The Company may repurchase outstanding common shares periodically based on market conditions and our capital allocation strategies considering restrictions under our credit facility. The stock buyback program does not have a predetermined expiration date. For additional information with respect to RPC’s stock buyback program, see note of the Consolidated Financial Statements titled Cash Paid for Common Stock Purchased and Retired.

On July 23, 2024, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share payable September 10, 2024, to common stockholders of record at the close of business on August 9, 2024. The Company expects to continue to pay cash dividends to common stockholders, subject to industry conditions and RPC’s earnings, financial condition, and other relevant factors.

INFLATION

The Company purchases its equipment and materials from suppliers who provide competitive prices and employ skilled workers from competitive labor markets. If inflation in the general economy increases, the Company’s costs for equipment, materials and labor could increase as well. In addition, increases in activity in the domestic oilfield can cause upward wage pressures in the labor markets from which it hires employees, especially if employment in the general economy increases. Also, activity increases can cause supply disruptions and higher costs of certain materials and key equipment components used to provide services to the Company’s customers. In recent years, the price of labor and raw materials increased while labor shortages caused by the departure of skilled labor from the domestic oilfield industry in prior years. These cost increases moderated during 2023 but remain high by historical standards.

OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company does not have any material off balance sheet arrangements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The discussion of Critical Accounting Policies is incorporated herein by reference from the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023. There have been no significant changes in the critical accounting policies since year-end.

IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

See note to the Consolidated Financial Statements titled Recent Accounting Standards for a description of recent accounting standards, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on results of operations and financial condition.

SEASONALITY

Oil and natural gas prices affect demand throughout the oil and natural gas industry, including the demand for the Company’s products and services. The Company’s business depends in large part on the economic conditions of the oil and gas industry, and specifically on the capital expenditures of its customers related to the exploration and production of oil and natural gas. There is a positive correlation between these expenditures and customers’ demand for the Company’s services. As such, when these expenditures fluctuate, customers’ demand for the Company’s services fluctuates as well. These fluctuations depend on the current and projected prices of oil and natural gas and resulting drilling activity and are not seasonal to any material degree.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements made in this report that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The words “may,” “will,” “expect,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “project,” “estimate,” “focus,” “plan,” and similar expressions generally identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements that relate to our business strategy, plans and objectives, and our beliefs and expectations regarding future demand for our equipment and services, trends in the industry, and other events and conditions that may influence the oilfield services market and our performance in the future. Forward-looking statements made elsewhere in this report include, without limitation, statements regarding: our ability to continue to monitor factors that impact current and expected customer activity levels, such as the prices of oil and natural gas, changes in pricing for our services and equipment, and utilization of our equipment and personnel; the effect of geopolitical factors such as political instability in the petroleum-producing regions of the world, the actions of the OPEC oil cartel, overall economic conditions and weather in the United States, the prices of oil and natural gas, and our customers’ drilling and production activities on our financial results; our strategy of utilizing equipment in unconventional basins; our expectation that capital expenditures will be between $200 million and $250 million during 2024 and our expectation that such expenditures will be directed primarily towards capitalized maintenance of our existing equipment and selected growth opportunities: our plans to continue to

pursue international growth opportunities; our belief that international revenues will continue to be less than ten percent of our consolidated revenues in the foreseeable future; our belief that current and projected prices of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids are important catalysts for U.S. domestic drilling activity and can be impacted by economic developments as well as geopolitical disruptions, such as the continuing conflicts in the Middle East as well as Russia and Ukraine; our belief that oil prices remain at or above levels sufficient to motivate our customers to maintain drilling and completion activities; our belief that the majority of the U.S. domestic rig count remains directed towards oil; our belief that oil-directed drilling will remain the majority of domestic drilling, and that natural gas-directed drilling will remain a low percentage of U.S. domestic drilling in the near term; our belief that natural gas-directed drilling will increase in the future because of favorable long-term market dynamics and our belief that this projected higher demand should drive increased activity in most of the basins in which we operate; our plans to continue to monitor the market for our services and the competitive environment including the current trends and expectations with regard to environmental concerns and related impact on our equipment fleets; our belief that the growing efficiency with which oilfield completion crews are providing services is a catalyst for the oversupplied nature of the oilfield services market and our evaluation that the market is so oversupplied; our plans to continue to maintain and upgrade our current fleet capacity of revenue-producing equipment; our plans to remain highly disciplined about adding new incremental revenue-producing equipment capacity and to make such investments only when we believe the projected financial returns of such capital expenditures meet our financial return criteria; our intent not to add incremental pressure pumping capacity to the industry given the oversupplied nature of oilfield services; our plans to allocate capital to maintain the capacity of our pressure pumping fleet to offset anticipated fleet retirements; the strength of our financial condition; our plans with respect to our stock buyback program; our belief that the liquidity provided by our existing cash and cash equivalents and our overall strong capitalization will provide sufficient liquidity to meet our requirements for at least the next twelve months; our belief that we will not need our revolving credit facility to meet our liquidity requirements; our expectations to continue to pay cash dividends to common stockholders, subject to industry conditions and our earnings, financial condition and other relevant factors; our belief that if inflation in the general economic increases, our costs for equipment, materials and labor could increase as well; our belief that increases in activity in the domestic oilfield can cause upward pressures in the labor markets from which it hires employees, especially if employment in the general economy increases; our belief that activity increases can cause supply disruptions and higher costs of certain materials and key equipment components used to provide our services to our customers; the effect of the changes in foreign exchange rates on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition; and the impact of lawsuits, legal proceedings and claims on our financial position and results of operation.

Such forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by our management in light of its experience and its perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors it believes to be appropriate. These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of RPC to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Risk factors that could cause such future events not to occur as expected include the following: the volatility of oil and natural gas prices; our concentration of customers in the energy industry and periodic downturns; our business depends on capital spending by our customers, many of whom rely on outside financing to fund their operations; dependence on our key personnel; our ability to identify or complete acquisitions; our ability to attract and retain skilled workers; some of our equipment and several types of materials used in providing our services are available from a limited number of suppliers; whether outside financing is available or favorable to us; increasing expectations from customers, investors and other stakeholders regarding our environmental, social and governance practices; our compliance with regulations and environmental laws; the combined impact of the OPEC disputes and the COVID-19 pandemic on our operating results; possible declines in the price of oil and natural gas, which tend to result in a decrease in drilling activity and therefore a decline in the demand for our services; the ultimate impact of current and potential political unrest and armed conflict in the oil producing regions of the world, including the current conflict involving Israel and the Gaza Strip, which could impact drilling activity; adverse weather conditions in oil or gas producing regions, including the Gulf of Mexico; competition in the oil and gas industry, especially in pressure pumping, and adverse impacts from the industry being over-supplied; limits to the Company’s ability to implement price increases; the potential impact of possible future regulations on hydraulic fracturing on our business; risks of international operations; reliance on large customers; our operations rely on digital systems and processes that are subject to cyber-attacks or other threats; and our cash and cash equivalents are held primarily at a single financial institution. Additional discussion of factors that could cause actual results to differ from management’s projections, forecasts, estimates and expectations is contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

However, since the majority of the Company’s transactions occur in U.S. currency, this risk is not expected to have a material effect on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
