Management Commentary
Mr. Paul D. McKinney, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We’re excited to kick off 2025 with a strong first quarter, showcasing the flexibility, resilience, and strength of our proven, value-focused strategy amid fluctuating oil prices. Our performance met or surpassed all guidance targets, driven by exceptional oil sales volumes. As shared earlier, this success stemmed from the outperformance of our newly drilled wells and the tireless dedication of our operations team, who kept our PDP assets running at peak efficiency. On the final day of the quarter, we closed the highly accretive acquisition of Lime Rock’s CBP assets, which are outperforming the forecasts originally used to value them, adding more value to our portfolio. To set the stage for this synergistic transaction, we strategically adjusted the timing of our drilling program and capital spending initiatives, optimizing our financial position and reinforcing our balance sheet. With this strong foundation, we’re poised to continue delivering value to our stockholders despite the uncertainties currently facing our industry.”
Mr. McKinney concluded, “We have been looking forward to sharing more about our proactive approach to navigating the recent dip in oil prices, showcasing the strength of our value-focused strategy. As previously announced, we’ve strategically reduced our second quarter capital spending by over 50%, while maintaining our sales volume guidance. Looking ahead, our updated full-year guidance reflects a 36% reduction in capital spending with only a 5% reduction to sales volumes, made possible by the exceptional performance of both our existing and newly acquired assets so far this year. This represents a 2% increase of year-over-year total sales. Should oil prices rise later in the year, we’re positioned to accelerate our debt reduction efforts, channeling the

Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted Free Cash Flow 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 Financial Information.” In addition, see section titled “Condensed Operating Data” for additional details concerning costs and expenses discussed below.
Sales volumes for 1Q 2025 were 18,392 Boe/d (66% oil, 18% natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) and 16% natural gas) versus 4Q 2024 sales volumes of 19,658 Boe/d (66% oil, 19% NGLs and 15% natural gas) and 1Q 2024 sales volumes of 19,034 Boe/d (70% oil, 15% NGLs and 15% natural gas).
Average realized sales prices for 1Q 2025 were $70.40 per barrel of crude oil, $(0.19) per Mcf of natural gas, and $9.65 per barrel of NGLs. The realized natural gas and NGL prices were impacted by increased fees resulting in lower realized prices. The weighted average natural gas price per Mcf was $1.86 and the weighted average fee per Mcf was $(2.05); the weighted average NGL price per barrel was $22.64 offset by a weighted average fee per barrel of $(12.99). The weighted average natural gas price for 1Q 2025 reflects continued natural gas product takeaway constraints, which are being alleviated through additional third-party pipeline capacity. The average oil price differential the Company experienced from NYMEX WTI ("West Texas Intermediate") futures pricing in 1Q 2025 was a negative $0.89 per barrel of crude oil, while the average natural gas price differential from NYMEX futures pricing was a negative $3.81 per Mcf.
Revenues were $79.1 million for 1Q 2025 compared to $83.4 million for 4Q 2024 and $94.5 million for 1Q 2024. The 5% decrease in 1Q 2025 revenues from 4Q 2024 was driven by a negative $7.3 million volume variance offset by a positive $3.0 million price variance.

Capital Investment
During 1 Q 2025, capital expenditures for the Company’s drilling and development activities were $32.5 million, which was within the Company’s guidance of $26 million to $34 million. Ring also invested approximately $70.9 million for the Lime Rock Acquisition that closed on March 31, 2025 (including the $63.6 million cash payment at closing, the $5.0 million deposit payment made in February, and $2.3 million in direct transaction costs).
Drilling and Development
Ring drilled, completed, and placed on production seven wells. In the Northwest Shelf in Yoakum County, Ring drilled and completed three 1-mile horizontal wells and one 1.25-mile horizontal well, all with a working interest of 75%. In the CBP in Ector County, the Company drilled and completed three vertical wells, all with a working interest of 100%.

Acquisition - CBP Assets of Lime Rock
During 1Q 2025, Ring completed the acquisition of CBP assets from Lime Rock. Those properties are located in the Permian Basin in Andrews County, Texas, and are focused on the development of approximately 17,700 net acres where the majority are similar to Ring’s existing CBP assets in the Shafter Lake area, and the remaining acreage exposes the Company to new active plays.
The key transaction highlights include:
•Highly Accretive: ~2,300 Boe/d (>75% oil) of low-decline net production from ~101 gross wells;
•Increased Scale and Operational Synergies: ~17,700 net acres (100% HBP) mostly contiguous to Ring’s existing footprint;
•Meaningful AFCF Generation: Supported by $121 million of oil-weighted reserves (based on NYMEX strip pricing as of February 19, 2025; and
•Strengthens High-Return Inventory Portfoli o: >40 gross locations that immediately compete for capital.
After taking into account preliminary purchase price adjustments, consideration for the acquisition consisted of:
•A cash payment of approximately $63.6 million net of the $5.0 million deposit payment made in February;
•$10.0 million deferred cash payment due on or about December 31, 2025; and
•The issuance of approximately 6.5 million shares of common stock.
The cash payment at closing on March 31, 2025 was funded with cash on hand and borrowings under Ring’s senior revolving credit facility.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Total liquidity (defined as cash and cash equivalents plus borrowing base availability under the Company’s credit facility) at March 31, 2025 was approximately $141.1 million, consisting of $140.0 million of availability under Ring’s revolving credit facility, which included a reduction of $35 thousand for letters of credit, and $1.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. On March 31, 2025, the Company had $460 million in borrowings outstanding on its credit facility that has a current borrowing base of $600 million and reflects the draw on the revolving credit facility to fund the Lime Rock Acquisition. T he Company is targeting continued debt reduction, dependent on market conditions, the timing and level of capital spending, and other considerations.

Second Half of 2025 Sales Volumes, Capital Investment and Operating Expense Guidance
Ring’s 2025 development program has been updated to reflect a reduction in capital spending in response to the weakened price environment. For full year 2025, Ring now expects total capital spending of $85 million to $113 million (versus $138 million to $170 million previously disclosed). In addition to wells that the Company plans to drill and complete, the full year capital spending program includes funds for targeted well recompletions, capital workovers, infrastructure upgrades, reactivations, and leasing costs, as well as non-operated drilling, completion, capital workovers, and facility improvements.
All projects and estimates are based on assumed WTI oil prices of $50 to $70 per barrel and Henry Hub prices of $3.00 to $4.00 per Mcf. As in the past, Ring has designed its spending program with flexibility to respond to changes in commo dity prices and other market conditions as appropriate.
Based on th e $99 million midpoint of spending guidance, the Company continues to expect the following estimated allocation of capital, including:
•61% for drilling, completion, and related infrastructure;
•33% for recompletions and capital workovers;
•4% for facility improvements (environmental and emission reducing upgrades); and
•2% for land, non-operated capital, and other.
The guidance in the table below represents the Company's current good faith estimate of the range of likely future results. Guidance could be affected by the factors discussed below in the "Safe Harbor Statement" section.

RING ENERGY, INC.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
Certain financial information included in this release are not measures of financial performance recognized by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These non-GAAP financial measures are “Adjusted Net Income,” “Adjusted EBITDA,” “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” or “AFCF,” “Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations” or “ACFFO,” “G&A Excluding Share-Based Compensation,” “G&A Excluding Share-Based Compensation and Transaction Costs,” “Leverage Ratio,” “All-In Cash Operating Costs,” and “Cash Operating Margin.” Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in its analysis of performance. These disclosures may not be viewed as a substitute for results determined in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily comparable to non-GAAP performance measures which may be reported by other companies.
Reconciliation of Net income to Adjusted Net Income
“Adjusted Net Income” is calculated as net income minus the estimated after-tax impact of share-based compensation, ceiling test impairment, unrealized gains and losses on changes in the fair value of derivatives, and transaction costs for executed acquisitions and divestitures (“A&D”). Adjusted Net Income is presented because the timing and amount of these items cannot be reasonably estimated and affect the comparability of operating results from period to period, and current period to prior periods. The Company believes that the presentation of Adjusted Net Income provides useful information to investors as it is one of the metrics management uses to assess the Company’s ongoing operating and financial performance, and also is a useful metric for investors to compare Ring’s results with its peers.

Reconciliation of Net income to Adjusted EBITDA
The Company defines “Adjusted EBITDA” as net income plus net interest expense (including interest income and expense), unrealized loss (gain) on change in fair value of derivatives, ceiling test impairment, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, asset retirement obligation accretion, transaction costs for executed acquisitions and divestitures (A&D), share-based compensation, loss (gain) on disposal of assets, and backing out the effect of other income. Company management believes Adjusted EBITDA is relevant and useful because it helps investors understand Ring’s operating performance and makes it easier to compare its results with those of other companies that have different financing, capital and tax structures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for net income, as an indication of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA, as Ring calculates it, may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA measures reported by other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds available for discretionary use.

Reconciliations of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted EBITDA to Adjusted Free Cash Flow
The Company defines “Adjusted Free Cash Flow” or “AFCF” as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities less changes in operating assets and liabilities (as reflected on Ring’s Condensed Statements of Cash Flows), plus transaction costs for executed acquisitions and divestitures (A&D), current income tax expense (benefit), proceeds from divestitures of equipment for oil and natural gas properties, loss (gain) on disposal of assets, and less capital expenditures, credit loss expense, and other income. For this purpose, the Company’s definition of capital expenditures includes costs incurred related to oil and natural gas properties (such as drilling and infrastructure costs and lease maintenance costs) but excludes acquisition costs of oil and gas properties from third parties that are not included in Ring’s capital expenditures guidance provided to investors. Management believes that Adjusted Free Cash Flow is an important financial performance measure for use in evaluating the performance and efficiency of the Company’s current operating activities after the impact of capital expenditures and net interest expense (including interest income and expense, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and without being impacted by items such as changes associated with working capital, which can vary substantially from one period to another. Other companies may use different definitions of Adjusted Free Cash Flow.

Reconciliation of Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities to Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations
The Company defines “Adjusted Cash Flow from Operations” or “ACFFO” as Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, as reflected in Ring’s Condensed Statements of Cash Flows, less the changes in operating assets and liabilities, which includes accounts receivable, inventory, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable, and settlement of asset retirement obligations, which are subject to variation due to the nature of the Company’s operations. Accordingly, the Company believes this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors because it is used often in its industry and allows investors to compare this metric to other companies in its peer group as well as the E&P sector.

Calculation of Leverage Ratio
“Leverage” or the “Leverage Ratio” is calculated under the Company’s existing senior revolving credit facility and means as of any date, the ratio of (i) Consolidated total debt as of such date to (ii) Consolidated EBITDAX for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ending on or immediately prior to such date for which financial statements are required to have been delivered under the Company’s existing senior revolving credit facility.
The Company defines “Consolidated EBITDAX” in accordance with its existing senior revolving credit facility that means for any period an amount equal to the sum of (i) consolidated net income (loss) for such period plus (ii) to the extent deducted in determining consolidated net income for such period, and without duplication, (A) consolidated interest expense, (B) income tax expense determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, (C) depreciation, depletion and amortization determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, (D) exploration expenses determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, and (E) all other non-cash charges acceptable to Ring’s senior revolving credit facility administrative agent determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, in each case for such period minus (iii) all noncash income added to consolidated net income (loss) for such period; provided that, for purposes of calculating compliance with the financial covenants, to the extent that during such period the Company shall have consummated an acquisition permitted by the credit facility or any sale, transfer or other disposition of any property or assets permitted by the senior revolving credit facility, Consolidated EBITDAX will be calculated on a pro forma basis with respect to the property or assets so acquired or disposed of.
Also set forth in Ring’s existing senior revolving credit facility is the maximum permitted Leverage Ratio of 3.00. The following tables show the leverage ratio calculations for the quarters ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
