Grounding quotes
  • “Although 2025 will be remembered by Liberation Day and challenging oil prices that followed, Ring Energy, Inc. stepped up to the challenge and delivered strong operational and financial performance.”
  • “Like I said a little earlier, Jeff, although we are not planning to grow our production appreciably this year, it is my belief anyway that the results of the work program that the geoscience and engineering teams are pursuing will inventory more horizontal sticks”
  • “we are going to stay disciplined towards paying down debt and feathering in these additional tests for these other horizons so we can still meet our financial objectives of paying down debt and remaining disciplined”
  • “Up until the Iranian crisis began to unfold last weekend, our focus was on raising the floors of our oil hedges to help ensure our future realized prices would be adequate to fund our 2026 capital program. Things certainly look different today.”

Key takeaways

What improved, and what deserves a closer read.

Constructive signals

  • Adjusted free cash flow grew 15% year-over-year to a company record, marking the 25th consecutive quarter of positive adjusted free cash flow.
  • Total proved reserves increased 14% and proved undeveloped inventory grew 17%, bringing identified drilling locations to over 500, representing 10+ years of inventory.
  • Sales volumes rose 3% year-over-year to a record 20,253 BOE/d, with Q4 sales of 20,508 BOE/d above the midpoint of guidance.
  • Capital spending was cut 35% year-over-year, reducing the reinvestment rate 18% to 53% of 2025 EBITDA, with drilling capital efficiency of $500 per lateral foot.
  • Debt reduced by $40 million since the Lime Rock acquisition closing (~60% of acquisition debt in three quarters), plus a $10 million deferred payment made in December.
  • Closed a non-op disposition in Yoakum County at ~4.5x next 12 months cash flow for $4.5 million, generating proceeds used to pay down debt.

Risks & pressure points

  • Q4 realized price declined 14% sequentially to $35.45 per BOE from $41.10 per BOE in Q3.
  • Reported Q4 net loss of $12.8 million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, driven by a $35.9 million non-cash ceiling test impairment.
  • Full-year 2025 results were pressured by 18% lower year-over-year realized commodity prices following post-Liberation Day oil prices.
  • Q4 sales volumes declined 1% sequentially to 20,508 BOE/d from 20,789 BOE/d in Q3, partially due to a third-party gas plant fire.
  • Management noted the recent Iranian crisis and rapidly changing industry conditions create uncertainty for 2026 realized prices and capital funding.
  • LOE run-rate reduction includes production sold off via the Yoakum County non-op disposition (200 BOE/d), reducing 2026 volumes.

Key moments

Jump directly to management's words in the synchronized transcript.

“Perhaps one of the more important successes was that we increased adjusted free cash flow by 15% year-over-year, setting a new company record despite 18% lower realized commodity prices, and we delivered our 25th consecutive quarter of adjusted free cash flow, a track record we are very proud of.” Paul McKinney, Chairman
“Our primary focus remains the same: utilizing our substantial free cash flow to primarily reduce debt and better position ourselves to ultimately provide a meaningful return of capital to shareholders.” Rocky Kwon, Chief Accounting Officer
