Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying audited Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, all material adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for the fair presentation of the financial results for all periods presented have been reflected. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Management uses historical and other pertinent information to determine these estimates. Actual results could differ from such estimates.
Areas where critical accounting estimates are made by management include:
Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment and intangible assets;
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations;
Impairment of property and equipment and intangible assets;
Collectability of accounts receivable and estimates of allowance for credit losses;
Income taxes; and
Equity-based compensation.
Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company include accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash accounts in financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. From time to time, cash balances may exceed the insured amounts, however, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risks.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable, net are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Before extending credit, the Company reviews a customer’s credit history and generally does not require collateral from its customers. The allowance for credit losses is established as losses are estimated and are recorded through a provision for bad debts. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of a receivable is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. The allowance for credit losses is evaluated on a regular basis by management and based on past experience and other factors, which, in management’s judgment, deserve current recognition in estimating possible bad debts. Such factors include growth and composition of accounts receivable, the relationship of the allowance for credit losses to accounts receivable and current economic conditions. Account receivable, net was $77.9 million, $68.4 million, and $85.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. The balance of allowance for credit losses was $1.4 million and $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The allowance for credit losses recorded for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 was $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

Inventories
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value and primarily consists of supplies held for the Wireline Services segment. The Company accounts for inventory using the weighted average cost method.
Leases
Right-of-use (“ROU”) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease, discounted at an annual incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”). ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU asset and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. For certain leases, where variable lease payments are incurred and relate primarily to common area maintenance, in substance fixed payments are included in the ROU asset and lease liability. For those leases that do not provide an implicit rate, we use an IBR based on the estimated rate of interest for a fully collateralized, fully amortizing loan over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Lease terms do not include options to extend or terminate the lease, as management does not consider them reasonably certain to exercise at this time. Leases with terms of 12 months or
less are considered short-term leases and therefore payments are recorded as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Any lease and non-components are combined.
Operating Leases
The Company enters into operating leases, primarily for real estate, with terms that vary from less than 12 months to nine years, where certain of the leases contain escalation clauses. The operating leases are included in Short-term lease liability and Long-term lease liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Lease costs associated with our yards and field offices are included in Cost of Services and our executive offices are included in General and Administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Finance Leases
The Company enters into lease arrangements for certain equipment, which are considered finance leases and generally have a term of three to five years. The assets and liabilities under finance leases are recorded at the lower of present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the assets. The assets are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful lives or over the lease term. The finance leases are included in Property and equipment, net, Short-term lease liability and Long-term lease liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Property and Equipment, net
Property and equipment is stated at cost or estimated fair market value at the acquisition date less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is charged to expense on the straight‑line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred. Depreciation does not begin until property and equipment is placed in service. Once placed in service, depreciation on property and equipment continues while being repaired, refurbished or between periods of deployment.
Long‑Lived Asset Impairment
The Company evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of long‑lived assets, including property and equipment and intangible assets, whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. If a long‑lived asset is tested for recoverability and the undiscounted estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset is less than the carrying amount of the asset, the asset cost is adjusted to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized as the amount by which the carrying amount of a long‑lived asset exceeds its fair value.
Intangible Assets
Identified intangible assets with determinable lives consist of customer relationships. Customer relationships are straight-line amortized over their estimated useful lives.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. In valuing certain assets and liabilities, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, which are summarized, as follows:
    Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
    Level 2—Other significant observable inputs.
    Level 3—Significant unobservable inputs.
The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s debt approximates fair value because the interest rates on the underlying instruments approximate current market rates. The Company did not have any assets that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2025 and 2024. In connection with business combinations completed during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded contingent consideration liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and is considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Revenue Recognition
In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as the Company fulfills the obligations under its contracts with customers, the following steps must be performed at contract inception: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations,
including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations; and (v) recognition of revenue when, or as the Company satisfies each performance obligation.
The services of each segment are based on mutually agreed upon pricing with the customer prior to the services being performed and, given the nature of the services, do not include any warranty or right of return. Pricing for services are offered at hourly or daily rates, where the rates are, in part, determined by when services are performed and the nature of the specific job, with consideration for the extent of equipment, labor and consumables needed. Accordingly, the agreed-upon pricing is considered to be variable consideration. Pricing for equipment rentals is based on fixed monthly service fees.
We satisfy our performance obligation over time as the services are performed. The Company 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 (i) our performance toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation under the contract and (ii) the value transferred to the customer of the services performed under the contract. The Company elected the “right to invoice” practical expedient for recognizing revenue. The Company invoices customers upon completion of the specified services and collection generally occurs within the payment terms agreed upon with customers. Accordingly, there is no financing component to our arrangements with customers.
The Company will periodically incur costs to fulfill contracts with customers and will defer such costs over the earlier of 12 months or the estimated number of months in which they are expected to be consumed. The deferred costs are included within Prepaid expenses and Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized amortization of deferred costs of $7.0 million and $7.6 million, respectively.
All revenue transactions are presented on a net of sales tax in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Contract Balances
Contract assets representing the Company’s rights to consideration for work completed but not billed amounted to $17.1 million, $16.7 million, and $17.7 million as of December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. Substantially all of the contract assets as of December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 were invoiced during the subsequent periods.
The Company does not have any contract liabilities included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023.
Income Taxes
The Company provides for income tax expense based on the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based upon differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The establishment of a valuation allowance requires significant judgment and is impacted by various estimates. Both positive and negative evidence, as well as the objectivity and verifiability of that evidence, is considered in determining the appropriateness of recording a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Under U.S. GAAP, the valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the Company’s deferred tax assets to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized and is based upon the uncertainty of the realization of certain federal and state deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets depends on the generation of sufficient taxable income.
As the Company continues to experience increasing profits and no longer has a trailing 3-year cumulative taxable loss, we currently believe that it is more likely than not that we will fully utilize all deferred tax assets including those associated with the net operating loss carry-forward. Accordingly, the Company released all valuation allowances of $1.7 million previously recorded resulting in a discrete tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2023. Deferred tax expense or benefit is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and associated valuation allowances during the period. The impact of an uncertain tax position taken or expected to be taken on an income tax return is recognized in the financial statements at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the relevant taxing authority.
The income tax provision reflects the full benefit of all positions that have been taken in the Company's income tax returns, except to the extent that such positions are uncertain and fall below the recognition requirements. In the event that the Company determines that a tax position meets the uncertainty criteria, an additional liability or benefit will result. The amount of unrecognized tax benefit requires management to make significant assumptions about the expected outcomes of certain tax positions included in filed or yet to be filed tax returns. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not
have any uncertain tax positions. The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and in numerous state tax jurisdictions. The Company’s tax filings for 2025, 2024, 2023 and 2022 are subject to audit by the federal and state taxing authorities in most jurisdictions where we conduct business. None of the Company’s federal or state tax returns are currently under examination. In the event our tax filings are audited, we may be subject to assessments of additional taxes that are resolved with the authorities or through the courts.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Consolidated Financial Statements reflect various equity-based compensation awards granted by Ranger Inc. These awards include restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, restricted cash units, and performance-based restricted stock units. The Company recognizes compensation expense related to equity-based awards based on the estimated fair value of the awards on the date of grant. The fair value of the equity-based awards on the grant date is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period of the respective award, with an offsetting credit to a share-based liability. The fair value of the restricted stock awards and restricted stock units are estimated using the market price of the Company’s shares on the grant date. The fair value of the performance stock units are estimated using an option pricing model that includes certain assumptions, such as volatility, dividend yield and the risk-free interest rate. Changes in these assumptions could change the fair value of our unit-based awards and associated compensation expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Forfeitures of all equity-based compensation are recognized as they occur.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting standards
In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”), which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption was permitted. The guidance is to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Upon transition, the segment expense categories and amounts disclosed in the prior periods should be based on the significant segment expense categories identified and disclosed in the period of adoption. The Company adopted this standard on December 31, 2024 within “Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 17 — Segment Reporting.”
In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”), which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, but retrospective application is permitted. The Company adopted this standard on a prospective basis on December 31, 2024 within “Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data — Note 13 — Income Taxes.”
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”). The guidance in ASU 2024-03 requires public business entities to disclose in the notes to the financial statements, among other things, specific information about certain costs and expenses including purchases of inventory; employee compensation; and depreciation, amortization and depletion expenses for each caption on the income statement where such expenses are included. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. In January 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2025-01—Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the effective date, which only impacts public business entities with non-calendar year-end reporting periods. As such, the original effective date pronounced in ASU 2024-03 remains applicable for the Company. Based on both the ASU 2024-03 and subsequent clarification in ASU 2025-01, early adoption is permitted, and the amendments may be applied prospectively to reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In July 2025, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2025-05, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets” (“ASU 2025-05”). ASU 2025-05 provides a practical expedient that all entities can use when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Under this practical expedient, an entity is allowed to assume that the current conditions it has applied in determining credit loss allowances for current accounts receivable and current contract assets remain unchanged for the remaining life of those assets. ASU 2025-05 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods in those years. Entities that elect the practical expedient and, if applicable, make the accounting policy election are required to apply the amendments prospectively. The Company expects to elect the practical expedient upon adoption. Based on the short-term nature of the Company’s accounts receivable and contract assets, historical loss experience, and current credit risk management practices, the adoption of ASU 2025-05 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
