RING ENERGY ANNOUNCES RECORD RESULTS FOR THIRD QUARTER OF 2022
~ Closed Transformational Acquisition and Increased Production, Revenue, Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow ~
The Woodlands, Texas – November 9, 2022 – Ring Energy, Inc. (NYSE American: REI) (“Ring” or the “Company”) today reported operational and financial results for the third quarter of 2022. In addition, Ring reiterated its fourth quarter guidance and preliminary outlook for 2023. Third quarter results include the impact from the acquisition (the “Stronghold Transaction”) of the assets of privately held Stronghold Energy II Operating, LLC and Stronghold Energy II Royalties, LP (collectively, “Stronghold”) for only the month of September 2022 following the closing of the transaction. Ring further commented that it applied three-stream revenue reporting with the results disclosed today.
Third Quarter 2022 Highlights
| · | Announced the Stronghold Transaction on July 5, 2022 and closed the acquisition on August 31, 2022. The combined results were: |
| o | A material improvement in Ring’s financial position, including substantially increasing liquidity and significantly decreasing the Company’s leverage ratio; and |
| o | A significant increase in the Company’s inventory of high rate-of-return and capital efficient investment opportunities, which substantially improves Ring’s cash flow generation and ability to more quickly pay down debt assuming current oil and gas prices continue; |
| · | Recorded the highest quarterly sales revenue in the Company’s history of $94.4 million, an 11% increase from the second quarter of 2022; |
| · | Increased sales volumes to 13,278 barrels of oil equivalent per day (“Boe/d”) (76% oil, 13% natural gas and 11% natural gas liquids (“NGLs”)) compared to 9,341 Boe/d for the second quarter of 2022; |
| · | Reported Net Income growth of 79% to $75.1 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, from $41.9 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2022; |
1
| · | Adjusted Net Income1 grew by 1% to $32.5 million, or $0.28 per share from $31.3 million, or $0.29 per share, in the second quarter of 2022; |
| · | Increased Adjusted EBITDA1 by 18% to $56.0 million, the highest level of quarterly Adjusted EBITDA in the Company’s history, from $47.4 million for the second quarter of 2022; |
| · | Generated Cash Flow from Operations1 of $48.9 million and Free Cash Flow1 of $9.7 million, reflecting growth from the second quarter of 2022 of 10% and 290%, respectively; |
| o | Represents 12th consecutive quarter of Free Cash Flow; |
| · | Paid down $17.0 million of debt on the Company’s revolving credit facility during the third quarter since closing of the Stronghold Transaction; |
| o | Reduced Leverage Ratio2 to 1.4x compared to 3.5x at year end 2021; |
| o | Increased liquidity to approximately $165 million – an increase in excess of 165% and more than $100 million higher than year-end 2021; |
| · | Continued the successful execution of its 2022 development program, including: |
| o | Drilled eight horizontal (“Hz”) wells during Q3 2022 with five in the Northwest Shelf (“NWS”) and three in the Central Basin Platform (“CBP”) bringing the total number of horizontal wells drilled year to date to 23; |
| o | Completed and placed on production nine Hz wells of which four were drilled in Q2 2022 and five were drilled in Q3 2022, bringing the total number of wells placed on production year to date to 20; |
| o | Performed three recompletions in Q3 2022 on the Stronghold acquisition acreage; |
| o | Converted six wells with electrical submersible pumps to rod pumps (“CTRs”) on horizontal wells, including five in NWS and one on its CBP acreage in Q3 2022; and |
| · | Reiterated the Company’s fourth quarter guidance and preliminary outlook for 2023. |
| 1. | Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and 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 Information.” |
| 2. | Based on annualized third quarter EBITDA adjusted for the pro-forma effects of the Transaction from the beginning of the quarter, as per the Credit Agreement. |

Management Commentary
Mr. Paul D. McKinney, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “The third quarter of 2022 initiated a transformational period for our Company and its shareholders that better positions Ring for long term success. The immediately accretive acquisition of Stronghold’s complementary CBP asset base substantially increases our size and scale, materially grows our inventory of low cost and high rate-of-return inventory of projects, significantly enhances the opportunity for Free Cash Flow generation, and lowers our overall cost structure. The combined result strengthens our balance sheet and provides the opportunity to accelerate the reduction of our debt. Our improved financial position will prove invaluable as we evaluate opportunities to build on our success and execute on our value driven strategy to improve the long-term interests of our shareholders.”
Mr. McKinney continued, “Contributing to our outstanding results for the third quarter was one month of positive impact from the recently acquired Stronghold assets, the continued strong performance of our legacy development program where we brought online nine horizontal wells, and a solid commodity price backdrop. This combination led to financial outperformance, including record quarterly revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. We were also pleased to generate Free Cash Flow for the 12th consecutive quarter that we used to pay down debt by $17 million since the closing of the Stronghold Transaction. As a result of the Transaction and continued strength in our legacy business, the borrowing base on our credit facility was increased more than 70% to $600 million. As a result, we ended the quarter with more than $165 million of liquidity, which was more than $100 million higher than the end of 2021 and represents an increase of more than 165%.”
Mr. McKinney concluded, “The results of our 2022 development program continues to meet or exceed our expectations. The increased capital efficiency provided by our materially expanded inventory of high rate-of-return drilling and recompletion projects will allow us to optimize our future free cash flow, which will provide the opportunity to pay down debt faster than we could have done on a standalone basis. As we look to our development plans for 2023, as we have done in the past, we have designed our capital program with flexibility to respond to changes in commodity prices. The initial goal will be to maintain or slightly grow our average sales volumes from the levels we anticipate for the fourth quarter and allocate excess free cash flow to paying down debt in a $75 to $90 barrel of oil price environment. If prices sustainably remain above that range, we will capitalize on additional opportunities that maximize shareholder value. This could include the acceleration of debt reduction, expanding our development program to organically grow production, further pursue targeted acquisitions, or the return of capital to shareholders. Regardless of what the future may bring, I am pleased with our improved financial position as well as the enhanced flexibility that we enjoy. Of course, we would not be where we are today without the tireless efforts of our incredible workforce, and I want to thank all of them for their continued hard work and dedication as we collectively focus on improving long-term shareholder value.”

Financial Overview: For the third quarter of 2022, the Company reported net income of $75.1 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, which included a $47.7 million before tax non-cash unrealized commodity derivative gain, $1.5 million in before tax share-based compensation and $1.1 million of transaction related costs. Excluding the estimated after-tax impact of the adjustments, the Company’s Adjusted Net Income was $32.5 million, or $0.28 per share. In the second quarter of 2022, the Company reported net income of $41.9 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, which included a $12.2 million before tax non-cash unrealized commodity derivative gain, and $1.9 million in before tax share-based compensation. Excluding the estimated after-tax impact of the adjustments, the Company’s Adjusted Net Income was $31.3 million, or $0.29 per share. In the third quarter of 2021, Ring reported net income of $14.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share, which included a $8.2 million before tax non-cash unrealized commodity derivative gain, and $0.8 million in before tax share-based compensation. Excluding the estimated after-tax impact of these adjustments, Adjusted Net Income in the third quarter of 2021 was $6.7 million, or $0.07 per share.
Adjusted EBITDA grew by 18% to $56.0 million for the third quarter of 2022 from $47.3 million in the second quarter of 2022, with the increase primarily driven by higher sales volumes. Third quarter of 2021 Adjusted EBITDA was $19.7 million.
Free Cash Flow was $9.7 million for the third quarter of 2022 versus $2.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 – a 290% increase. Cash Flow from Operations grew by 10% to $48.9 million for the third quarter of 2022 from $44.3 million in the second quarter of 2022. Cash Flow from Operations for the third quarter of 2021 was $16.4 million.
Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, and 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 Information.”
Sales Volumes, Prices and Revenues: As a result of the Stronghold Transaction, beginning July 1, 2022, the Company began reporting revenues on a three-stream basis, separately reporting crude oil, natural gas, and NGLs sales. For periods prior to July 1, 2022, sales and reserve volumes, prices, and revenues for NGLs were included in natural gas.
Sales volumes for the third quarter of 2022 were 13,278 Boe/d (76% oil, 13% natural gas and 11% NGLs), or 1,221,616 Boe, compared to 9,341 Boe/d (86% oil and 14% natural gas), or 850,017 Boe, for the second quarter of 2022, and 8,243 Boe/d (87% oil and 13% natural gas), or 758,387 Boe, in the third quarter of 2021. Third quarter 2022 sales volumes were comprised of 932,770 barrels (“Bbls”) of oil, 952,762 thousand cubic feet (“Mcf”) of natural gas, and 130,052 Bbls of NGLs.
For the third quarter of 2022, the Company realized an average sales price (before the impact of hedging) of $92.64 per barrel of crude oil, $4.89 per Mcf for natural gas and $25.68 per barrel of NGLs. The combined average realized sales price for the period was $77.28 per Boe versus $99.95 per Boe for the second quarter of 2022 and $65.11 per Boe in the third quarter of 2021. The average oil price differential the Company experienced from WTI NYMEX futures pricing in the third quarter of 2022 was a positive $2.28 per barrel of crude oil, while the average natural gas price differential from NYMEX futures pricing was a negative $3.15 per Mcf.

Revenues grew by 11% to $94.4 million for the third quarter of 2022 from $85.0 million in the second quarter of 2022, with the increase associated with higher sales volumes partially offset by lower realized pricing. Third quarter of 2022 revenues increased 91% from $49.4 million in the third quarter of 2021. The increase was driven by higher sales volumes and increased realized oil pricing.
Lease Operating Expense (“LOE”): LOE, which includes expensed workovers and facilities maintenance, was $13.0 million, or $10.67 per Boe, in the third quarter of 2022 versus $8.3 million, or $9.77 per Boe, in second quarter of 2022 and $7.0 million, or $9.21 per Boe, for the third quarter of 2021. Primarily contributing to the sequential increase in third quarter 2022 LOE on an absolute and per Boe basis was higher labor costs and industry wide inflationary pressures, as well as the Stronghold Transaction, with associated costs beginning on September 1, 2022.
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 line item.
Ad Valorem Taxes: Ad valorem taxes were $0.98 per Boe for the third quarter of 2022 compared to $1.12 per Boe in the second quarter of 2022 and $0.93 per Boe for the third quarter of 2021.
Production Taxes: Production taxes were $3.74 per Boe in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $4.89 per Boe in the second quarter of 2022 and $2.95 per Boe in third quarter of 2021. Production taxes remained steady at 4.5% to 4.9% of revenue for all three periods.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization (“DD&A”) and Asset Retirement Obligation Accretion: DD&A was $11.73 per Boe in the third quarter of 2022 versus $12.65 per Boe for the second quarter of 2022 and $12.28 per Boe in the third quarter of 2021. Asset retirement obligation accretion was $0.20 per Boe in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $0.22 per Boe in the second quarter of 2022 and $0.24 per Boe in the third quarter of 2021.
Operating Lease Expense: Operating lease expense was $83,590 for the third and second quarters of 2022, and $83,589 in the third quarter of 2021. Operating lease expenses are primarily associated with the Company’s office leases.
General and Administrative Expenses (“G&A”): G&A, excluding non-cash share-based compensation, was $5.9 million, or $4.79 per Boe, in the third quarter of 2022 versus $3.9 million, or $4.63 per Boe, in the second quarter of 2022 and $3.7 million, or $4.82 per Boe, in the third quarter of 2021. The third quarter of 2022 included $1.1 million of transaction related costs for the Stronghold acquisition. Adjusted for transaction related costs, G&A, excluding non share-based compensation, for the third quarter of 2022 was $4.7 million, or $3.85 per Boe.
5
Interest Expense: Interest expense was $7.0 million in the third quarter of 2022 versus $3.3 million for the second quarter of 2022 and $3.6 million for the third quarter of 2021. Interest expense increased for both comparative periods substantially due to a higher average daily balance of long-term debt associated with additional borrowings on the Company’s revolving credit facility associated with the closing of the Stronghold Transaction on August 31, 2022.
Derivative (Loss) Gain: In the third quarter of 2022, Ring recorded a net gain of $32.9 million on its commodity derivative contracts, including a realized $14.8 million cash commodity derivative loss and an unrealized $47.7 million non-cash commodity derivative gain. This compared to a net loss of $7.4 million in the second quarter of 2022, including a realized $19.6 million cash commodity derivative loss and an unrealized $12.2 million non-cash commodity derivative gain, and a net loss of $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2021, including a realized $14.9 million cash commodity derivative loss and an unrealized $8.2 million non-cash commodity derivative gain.
A full listing of the Company’s current outstanding crude oil derivative positions is included in the tables shown later in this release.
Income Tax: The Company recorded a non-cash income tax provision of $4.3 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to a provision of $1.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 and a benefit of $48,701 for the third quarter of 2021.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity: Total liquidity at the end of the third quarter of 2022 was $165.1 million, a 168% increase from December 31, 2021 and up 103% from June 30, 2022. Liquidity at September 30, 2022 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $0.9 million and $164.2 million of availability under Ring’s revolving bank credit facility, which includes a reduction of $0.8 million for letters of credit. On September 30, 2022, the Company had $435.0 million in borrowings outstanding on its revolving credit facility that has a current borrowing base of $600.0 million. Ring paid down $17.0 million of debt under its revolving credit facility since the closing of the Stronghold Transaction and is targeting further debt reduction during the remainder of the year depending on market conditions, the timing of capital spending and other considerations. Ring is currently in compliance with all applicable covenants under its revolving credit facility agreement.
Also in conjunction with the closing of the Stronghold Transaction, Ring issued approximately 21.3 million shares of common stock and 153,176 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to the owners of the Stronghold assets. The Convertible Preferred Stock was converted into approximately 42.5 million shares of common stock following approval of the conversion by a stockholder vote on October 27, 2022.
6
Capital Expenditures: During the third quarter of 2022, capital expenditures on an accrual basis were $40.3 million as the Company drilled eight wells, completed nine wells, performed three recompletions, and converted six CTRs.
Fourth Quarter 2022 Guidance and Preliminary Full Year 2023 Outlook
The Company is reiterating its fourth quarter 2022 and preliminary full year 2023 outlook provided on October 13, 2022. More specifically:
Fourth Quarter of 2022
| · | Capital expenditures of $42 million to $46 million, which is approximately 15% lower from the prior estimate of $50 million to $54 million. The Company’s current spending estimate includes: |
| o | Completing and placing on production the remaining three wells drilled in the third quarter of 2022; |
| o | Drilling and completing eight to nine new wells, including four Hz wells with two in NWS and two in CBP, and four to five vertical wells in CBP; and |
| o | Recompleting eight to 12 wells in CBP. |
| · | Ring continues to expect fourth quarter sales volumes of 18,000 to 19,000 Boe/d (approximately 70% oil, 17% natural gas and 13% natural gas liquids (“NGLs”)), despite the reduction in estimated fourth quarter capital expenditures. |
| 1. | In addition to Company-directed drilling and completion activities, the capital spending outlook includes funds for targeted well reactivations, recompletions, workovers, infrastructure upgrades, and continuing the Company's successful CTR program in its NWS and CBP areas. Also included is anticipated spending for lease costs, contractual drilling obligations and non-operated drilling, completion and capital workovers. |
7
Preliminary Outlook for 2023
| · | Estimated capital expenditures of $150 million to $175 million that include a balanced and capital efficient combination of drilling Hz wells on legacy assets and vertical wells on the recently acquired CBP assets, as well as performing recompletions and CTRs, with all projects and estimates based on assumed WTI oil prices of $75 to $90 per barrel and Henry Hub natural gas prices of $5 to $6 per Mcf; and |
| · | Plans to maintain or slightly grow 2023 full year average sales volumes compared to anticipated Q4 2022 sales volumes. |
The Company remains squarely focused on continuing to generate free cash flow in 2023, after all expenses, costs and capital expenditures. All 2023 planned capital expenditures will be fully funded by cash on hand and cash from operations, and excess free cash flow is currently targeted for further debt reduction. The combination of anticipated growth in Adjusted EBITDA primarily as a result of the Stronghold Transaction is expected to further reduce Ring’s leverage ratio during 2023.

RING ENERGY, INC.
Non-GAAP Information
Certain financial information included in Ring’s financial results are not measures of financial performance recognized by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures are “Adjusted Net Income”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Free Cash Flow” and “Cash Flow from Operations”. Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of performance. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is a key metric used to determine 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 does not include the estimated after-tax impact of share-based compensation, ceiling test impairment, and unrealized loss (gain) on change in fair value of derivatives. 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 periods to prior periods.

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 and share-based compensation. Company management believes this presentation 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 Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA (defined above) less net interest expense (excluding amortization of deferred financing cost), capital expenditures and proceeds from divestiture of oil and natural gas properties. 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 the lease maintenance costs) and equipment, furniture and fixtures, but excludes acquisition costs of oil and gas properties from third parties that are not included in the Company’s capital expenditures guidance provided to investors. Company management believes that Free Cash Flow is an important financial performance measure for use in evaluating the performance and efficiency of its 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. There is no commonly accepted definition Free Cash Flow within the industry. Accordingly, Free Cash Flow, as defined and calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to Free Cash Flow or other similarly named non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. While the Company includes net interest expense in the calculation of Free Cash Flow, other mandatory debt service requirements of future payments of principal at maturity (if such debt is not refinanced) are excluded from the calculation of Free Cash Flow. These and other non-discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from Free Cash Flow would reduce cash available for other uses.

The following tables present (i) a reconciliation of the Company’s net income (loss), a GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA and (ii) a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, to Free Cash Flow, as both Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow are defined by the Company. In addition, a reconciliation of Cash Flow from Operations is presented.

www.ringenergy.com NYSE American: REI Forward - Looking Statements and Cautionary Note Regarding Hydrocarbon Disclosures Forward – Looking Statements This Presentation includes "forward - looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 19 95, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of strictly historical facts included in this Presentation constitute forward - loo king statements and may often, but not always, be identified by the use of such words as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “intends,” “estimates,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “project,” “guidance,” “target,” “potential,” “possible,” “probabl y,” and “believes” or the negative variations thereof or comparable terminology. These forward - looking statements include statements regarding the Company's financial position, future revenues, net income, potential evaluations, business strategy and plans and objectives for future operations. The forward - looking statements include statements about the expected benefits to the Company and to its stockholders from the acquisition of certain assets (the “Stronghold Assets”) from Strongh old Energy II Operating, LLC (“Stronghold OpCo ”) and Stronghold Energy II Royalties, LP (“Stronghold RoyaltyCo ”, together with Stronghold OpCo , collectively, “Stronghold”); Forward - looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to be mate rially different than any future results expressed or implied in those statements. However, whether actual results and developments will conform to expectations is subject to a number of material ris ks and uncertainties, including but not limited to: the Company’s ability to integrate the Stronghold Assets and achieve the anticipated benefits therefrom; risks relating to any unforeseen liability of the Company or the Stronghold Assets; declines in oil, natural gas liquids or natural gas prices; the level of success in exploration, development and production a ct ivities; the timing of exploration and development expenditures; inaccuracies of reserve estimates or assumptions underlying them; rev isi ons to reserve estimates as a result of changes in commodity prices or production history; impacts to financial statements as a result of impairment write - downs; risks related to level of indebtedness and periodic redeterminations of the bo rrowing base under the Company’s credit facility; the impacts of hedging on results of operations; the Company’s ability to replace oil and natural gas reserves; any loss of senior management or technical personnel; and the direct and indirect im pac t on most or all of the foregoing due to the COVID - 19 pandemic. Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results are described under “Risk Factors” in our 2021 annual report on Form 10 - K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 16, 2022, and in our subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10 - Q and current reports on Form 8 - K. Although the Company believes that the assumptions upon which such forward - looking stateme nts are based are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such assumptions will prove to be correct. All forward - looking statements in this Presentation are expressly qualified by the cautionary statements and by reference to the underlyi ng assumptions that may prove to be incorrect. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly 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 no r a ny other third party has examined, reviewed or compiled the projections and, accordingly, none of the foregoing expresses an opinion or other form of assurance with respect thereto. The assumptions upon which the projections are based ar e d escribed 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 w ill vary from the projected results. Prospective investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on the estimates included herein. Cautionary Note regarding Hydrocarbon Disclosures The SEC has generally permitted oil and natural gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves, wh ich are reserve estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, and certain probable and possible reserv es that meet the SEC’s definitions for such terms. We use the terms “estimated ultimate recovery,” or “EURs,” “probable,” “possible,” and “non - proven” reserves, reserve “potential” or “upside” or other descriptions of volumes of reserves potentially recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques that the SEC’s guidelines prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC. Reference to EURs of natural gas and oil includes amounts that are not yet classified as p rov ed reserves under SEC definitions, but that we believe should ultimately be produced and are based on previous operating experience in a given area and publicly available information relating to the operations of producers who are conducting oper ati ons in these areas. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized by us. Factors affecting the ultimate recove ry of reserves that may be recovered include the scope of our drilling programs, which will be directly affected by capital availability, drilling and production costs, commodity prices, availability of services and equipment, permit expirations, tr ans portation constraints, regulatory approvals and other factors, and actual drilling results, including geological and mechanic al factors affecting recovery rates. Accordingly, actual quantities that may be recovered from our interests will differ from ou r e stimates and could be significantly less than our targeted recovery rate. In addition, our estimates may change significantly as we receive additional data. Supplemental Non - GAAP Financial Measures This Presentation includes financial measures that are not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Un ited States (“GAAP”), such as “Adjusted Net Income,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “PV - 10,” “Free Cash Flow,” or “FCF,” and “Cash Flow from Operations.” While management believes that such measures are useful for investors, they should not be used as a re pla cement for financial measures that are in accordance with GAAP. For definitions of such non - GAAP financial measures and their reconciliations to GAAP measures, please see the Appendix. 2

These non - GAAP financial measures are “Adjusted Net Income”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Free Cash Flow” and “Cash Flow from Operations”.

Adjusted Net Income does not include the estimated after - tax impact of share - based compensation, ceiling test impairment, and un realized loss (gain) on change in fair value of derivatives, as well an add back of the full valuation against the Company’s deferred tax assets during the fourth quarter of 2020. Adjusted Net Income is presented because the timing and amou nt of these items cannot be reasonably estimated and affect the comparability of operating results from period to period, and current periods to prior periods. The Company also presents the non - GAAP financial measures Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow. The Company defines Adjusted EBITD A as net (loss) income plus net interest expense, unrealized loss on change in fair value of derivatives, ceiling test impairment, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization and accretion, asset retireme nt obligation accretion and share - based compensation. Company management believes this presentation is relevant and useful because it helps investors understand Ring’s operating performance and makes it easier to compare its results with th ose 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 ope rating 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 dis cre tionary use. The Company defines Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA (defined above) less net interest expense (excluding amortization of de fer red financing cost) and capital expenditures. 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 the lease ma int enance costs) and equipment, furniture and fixtures, but excludes acquisition costs of oil and gas properties from third parties that are not included in the Company’s capital expenditures guidance provided to investors. Company management believ es that Free Cash Flow is an important financial performance measure for use in evaluating the performance and efficiency of its current operating activities after the impact of accrued capital expenditures and net interest expense and wit hout being impacted by items such as changes associated with working capital, which can vary substantially from one period to another. There is no commonly accepted definition for Free Cash Flow within the industry. Accordingly, Free Cash Fl ow, as defined and calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to Free Cash Flow or other similarly named non - GAAP measures reported by other companies. While the Company includes net interest expense in the calculation of Free Cash F low, other mandatory debt service requirements of future payments of principal at maturity (if such debt is not refinanced) are excluded from the calculation of Free Cash Flow. These and other non - discretionary expenditures that are not deducted from Free Cash Flow would reduce cash available for other uses. PV - 10 is a 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 our oil and natural gas properties is relevant and useful to inv estors because it presents the estimated discounted future net cash flows attributable to our estimated proved reserves independent of our income tax attributes, thereby isolating the intrinsic value of the estimated future cash flows a ttr ibutable to our reserves. We believe 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 o n 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 consider ed in isolation or as a substitute for the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows as defined under GAAP. The Company also presents the non - GAAP financial measure Cash Flow from Operations. The Company defines Cash Flow from Operation s as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities plus Changes in operating assets and liabilities. The table below provides a reconciliation of PV - 10 to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows as of Decembe r 31, 2021. 26
