3. ACQUISITION
On April 1, 2025 (the "Closing Date”), RPC, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Thru Tubing Solutions, Inc., completed its previously announced acquisition of Pintail Alternative Energy, L.L.C ("Pintail”). Pursuant to the terms of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated as of April 1, 2025 (the "Merger Agreement”), by and among RPC and Pintail, on the Closing Date, Pintail merged with and into RPC (the "Merger”), and Pintail continued as a wholly owned subsidiary of RPC. Pintail, headquartered in Midland, Texas, is a leading provider of oilfield wireline perforating services in the Permian Basin, and its conventional and electric wireline units are among the newest in the industry. The acquisition is building on RPC’s diversified
8
oilfield services platform with geographic concentration in the most active oil producing region in the U.S. land market. Pintail is included in our Technical Services Segment.
Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, on the Closing Date, 100% of Pintail’s equity was automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) $170 million in cash ("the Closing Cash”), (ii) $25 million of RPC common stock, which was paid by the issuance of 4,545,454 shares of restricted common stock of RPC ("Stock Consideration”) to one of the previous owners (the "Seller”), and (iii) $50 million in the form of a secured note payable to Houston LP (the "Seller Note”). Interest on the Seller Note accrues at a variable rate equal to the Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR”), for the applicable interest period, plus 2.0% per annum, or where applicable, at a specified default rate.
The Stock Consideration and 50% of the Seller Note (together "Contingent Consideration”) are subject to continued employment of Seller for a period of three years and subject to automatic forfeiture in the event of Seller termination. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Contingent Consideration is not accounted for as part of purchase price. As of Closing Date, the Company evaluated the fair value of the Seller Note using a market interest rate based on the Company’s IBR ("Incremental Borrowing Rate”). As the contractual interest rate on the Seller Note (6.0% based on prevailing SOFR) was materially consistent with the estimated market rate, the Seller Note was recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheet at the estimated present value of $50 million. The Seller Note is disclosed as Notes Payable in the current and non-current section of Total liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025. The Company recognized an acquisition related employment obligation asset for $25 million, related to 50% of the Seller Note, that is part of the Contingent Consideration. This asset is being amortized over the three-year service period on a straight-line basis and reflected as part of Other assets in the current and non-current sections of Total assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025.
An additional net of tax amount totaling $28.1 million, ("Redistribution Payments”) paid by the Seller out of Closing Cash, is subject to continued employment with RPC for a period of three years from the Closing Date. The Stock Consideration and Redistribution Payments are being amortized over the three-year service period and recorded as Acquisition related employment costs and Additional Paid in Capital.
Non-cash expenses related to the Contingent Consideration and the Redistribution Payments are reflected as Acquisition related employment costs in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. For the three months ended September 30, 2025 and for the period from April 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025, this amount totaled $6.5 million and $13.0 million, respectively.
The Company incurred transaction expenses of approximately $183 thousand and $1.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, which are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805”), primarily using Level 3 inputs. The preliminary purchase price allocation disclosed as of June 30, 2025 has been revised to reflect the working capital adjustment finalization and other updates that resulted in decreases in Accounts Payable of $6.3 million and Goodwill of $18.9 million together with an increase in Customer relationships of $400 thousand. Amounts shown in the following table represent the current preliminary fair value estimates. As additional information becomes available and final analyses and allocations are completed, we may further revise the preliminary acquisition consideration allocation during the remainder of the measurement period, which will not exceed one year from the acquisition date. As of September 30, 2025, adjustments related to property, plant and equipment is the primary area open for finalization. Such revisions or changes may be material.
The purchase price under U.S. GAAP was $181.4 million, which consisted of Closing Cash of $170.0 million and $25.0 million of the Seller Note not contingent on continued service, offset by $13.6 million of contractual adjustments for Pintail’s final net working capital, cash and debt. Amount due from the seller for the final working capital settlement of $12.3 million is included in Accounts receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2025. The final working capital settlement has not been reflected as a reduction in the purchase of business on the Consolidates Statements of Cashflows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, since it remained uncollected as of that date. This amount was collected in full on October 23, 2025.
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was allocated to goodwill, which is being amortized over 15 years for income tax purposes. Goodwill is attributable to synergies expected to be achieved from the
9
combined operations of the Company and Pintail and the assembled workforce. The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025 includes the assets and liabilities of Pintail, which have been measured at fair value as of the acquisition date.
The preliminary allocation of purchase price recorded for Pintail under U.S. GAAP as of the Closing Date was as follows:

Intangible assets acquired
The fair value of customer relationships was estimated using the multi-period excess earnings method. The excess earnings methodology is an income approach methodology that estimates the projected cash flows of the business attributable to the customer relationships intangible assets, net of charges for the use of other identifiable assets of the business including working capital, fixed assets and other intangible assets. The fair value of trade names was estimated using the relief-from-royalty method, which presumes the owner of the asset avoids hypothetical royalty payments that would need to be made for the use of the asset if the asset was not owned.
Pintail recognizes revenue over time in an amount equal to consideration received for transferred goods or services to customers. In addition, Pintail has elected the right to invoice practical expedient for recognizing revenue related to its
performance obligations. The Company assumed finance leases related to trucks and operating leases for both vehicles and certain real estate. There were no favorable or unfavorable market terms for the leases.
Pintail’s operating results are included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the period from Apil 1, 2025 to September 30, 2025. Pintail's revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 were $99.8 million and $198.6 million for the period from April 1, 2025, to September 30, 2025. Pintail’s Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $7.2 million and $14.2 million for the period from April 1, 2025, to September 30, 2025, using a normalized estimated effective tax rate. Pintail’s Net income includes the impact of the amortization of intangibles totaling $2.6 million and $5.2 million, as well as other purchase accounting adjustments, for the three months ended September 30, 2025, and for the period from April 1, 2025, to September 30, 2025, respectively. Acquisition related employment costs are recorded at the consolidated level and not allocated to Pintail.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and 2024, as if the acquisition of Pintail had occurred on January 1, 2024. The unaudited pro forma information includes incremental depreciation expense related to fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment, amortization of intangible assets acquired, removal of non-recurring transaction costs directly associated with the Merger, and interest expense on the Seller Note, as well as the Acquisition related employment costs associated with the Contingent Consideration and Redistribution Payments. The unaudited pro forma financial information does not give effect to any anticipated cost savings, operating efficiencies or other synergies that may be associated with the acquisition, or any estimated costs that have been or will be incurred by the Company to integrate the assets and operations of Pintail.
The unaudited pro forma financial information presented below is for comparative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the Company’s operating results that may have occurred had the acquisition of Pintail been completed on January 1, 2024.

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 the Company’s operating segments, see Note titled Business Segment and Entity Wide Disclosures.
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:
11
Technical Services
Support Services
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 and Entity Wide Disclosures 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:
Unbilled trade receivables
74,266
60,951
Substantially all the unbilled trade receivables disclosed were, or are expected to be, invoiced during the following quarter.
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 $45.4 million recorded as unearned revenue as of December 31, 2024, was recognized as revenues by June 30, 2025.

5. 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.
As of September 30, 2025, there were 5,746,631 shares available for grant under the Company’s 2024 Stock Incentive Plan. In addition, there were 394,723 shares available under the 2014 Stock Incentive plan that are reserved for the potential vesting of performance stock unit awards granted in 2023.
6. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION

7. 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 September 30, 2025, the effective rate reflects a provision of 42.6% compared to a provision of 19.9% for the comparable period in the prior year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the effective rate reflects a provision of 37.7% compared to a provision of 20.3% for the comparable period in the prior year. The effective tax rate was unusually high primarily due to the non-deductible portion of Acquisition related employment costs and provision to tax return adjustments.
In the third quarter of 2025, RPC implemented the provisions of the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”). Implementation of the OBBBA provisions resulted in an increase of approximately $17.1 million in deferred income tax liability with a corresponding increase in income taxes receivable due to the 100% bonus depreciation on capital expenditures placed in service after January 19th, 2025 and immediate expensing of all domestic research and development costs, that were previously amortized over five years. Implementation of the OBBBA provisions did not have an impact on our effective rate or the Income tax provision in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
8. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the respective periods. 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

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:

In the table below, spare parts and components are included as part of raw materials and supplies; tools that are assembled using components are reported as finished goods. Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method or the weighted average cost method.

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 statutes 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 in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Company has outstanding state tax notifications of audit results related to sales and use tax and has evaluated the perceived merits of this tax assessment with its outside legal counsel. The Company believes the likelihood of a material loss related to these contingencies is remote and the amount of liability cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. Therefore, no loss has been recorded and the Company currently does not believe the resolution of these claims will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Litigation - RPC is a party to various routine legal proceedings primarily involving commercial claims, employee liability and workers’ compensation claims and claims for personal injury. RPC insures against these risks to the extent deemed prudent by its management, but no assurance can be given that the nature and amount of such insurance will, in every case, fully indemnify RPC against liabilities arising out of pending and future legal proceedings related to its business activities.
13. RETIREMENT PLANS
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Board of Directors approved the termination of the Supplemental Retirement Plan (“SERP”). Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Service rules, participant balances are required to be distributed between 12 and 24
15
months after termination. The Company currently expects to distribute the participant balances in the fourth quarter of 2025 by liquidating all the assets currently held in the Rabbi Trust. Retirement Plan assets and liabilities were classified as long-term on December 31, 2024, balance sheet and were reclassed to short-term as of June 30, 2025, when the decision to liquidate the assets and distribute participant balances in the fourth quarter of 2025 was made. As of September 30, 2025, the Retirement plan assets and Retirement plan liabilities related to the SERP are reported as part of current assets and current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Company permitted, through December 31, 2024, selected highly compensated employees to defer a portion of their compensation to the SERP. The Company maintains certain securities primarily in mutual funds and company-owned life insurance policies as a funding source to satisfy the obligations of the SERP that have been classified as trading and are stated at fair value totaling $32.7 million as of September 30, 2025, and $30.7 million as of December 31, 2024. Trading gains related to the SERP assets totaled $1.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to trading gains of $1.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024. Trading gains related to the SERP assets totaled $1.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to trading gains of $2.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. As of September 30, 2025, the SERP assets are reported in Retirement plan assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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.
The SERP liabilities include participant deferrals, net of distributions, and are stated at fair value of approximately $24.1 million as of September 30, 2025, and $24.5 million as of December 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2025 the SERP liabilities are reported in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets in Retirement plan liabilities. Changes in fair value are 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 $1.1 million due to unrealized gains on participant balances during the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to an increase of $1.1 million due to unrealized gains on participant balances during the three months ended September 30, 2024. Changes in the fair value of the SERP liabilities resulted in unrealized gains of $2.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to unrealized gains of $2.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
14. NOTES PAYABLE
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 million, including a $35 million letter of credit sub-facility, and a $35 million swingline sub-facility. 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. Certain of the Company’s minor subsidiaries are not guarantors. The Credit Agreement’s maturity date is July 22, 2027, and the interest rate is based on Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (Term SOFR). In addition, the terms of the agreement have a 1.00% per annum floor for Base Rate borrowings and permits the issuance of letters of credit in currencies other than U.S. dollars.
Under the Credit Agreement, when RPC’s trailing four quarter EBITDA (as calculated under the Credit Agreement) is equal to or greater than $50 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 million. As of both September 30, 2025, and 2024, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
Revolving loans under the amended revolving credit facility bear interest at one of the following two rates at the Company’s election:
16
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.
As of September 30, 2025, RPC had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, and letters of credit outstanding relating to self-insurance programs and contract bids totaled $15.8 million; therefore, a total of $84.2 million of the facility was available. During the second quarter of 2025, the Company assumed a Seller Note as part of the Pintail acquisition; see the Note titled Acquisitions for additional details related to the Seller Note. Interest incurred, which includes interest on the Seller Note, facility fees on the unused portion of the revolving credit facility and the amortization of loan costs, and interest paid on the Seller Note and the credit facility were as follows for the periods indicated:

15. 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:
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.
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 September 30, 2025, 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 September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility and Seller Note 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. 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.

17. CASH PAID FOR COMMON STOCK PURCHASED AND RETIRED
The Company has a stock buyback program to repurchase up to 49,578,125 shares in the open market. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, there were no shares repurchased by the Company in the open market. As of September 30, 2025, there were 12,768,870 shares remaining available to be repurchased. The program does not have a preset expiration date. Repurchases of shares of the Company’s common stock may be made from time to time in the open market, by block purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or in such other manner as determined by the Company. The timing of the repurchases and the actual amount repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including the market price of the Company's shares, general market and economic conditions, and other factors. The stock repurchase program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and it may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
Shares purchased for withholding taxes represent taxes due upon vesting of time-based restricted share awards granted to employees.

18. BUSINESS SEGMENT AND ENTITY WIDE DISCLOSURES
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.
18
Technical Services consists primarily of pressure pumping, downhole tools, wireline, coiled tubing, cementing, snubbing, nitrogen, well control and fishing. 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 accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those referenced in Note titled General. Gains or losses on disposition of assets are reviewed on a consolidated basis, and accordingly the Company does not report gains or losses at the segment level. Intersegment 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.
RPC's Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. For each of the reportable segments, the CODM uses operating income to allocate resources (equipment, financial, and human resources. The 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.

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 32.
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 America, 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, 2024, is incorporated herein by reference.
During the third quarter of 2025, total revenues of $447.1 million increased by $109.5 million or 32.4% compared to the same period in the prior year.
Operating income was $20.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $19.2 million for the same period of 2024.
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was $13.0 million, or $0.06 diluted earnings per share compared to net income of $18.8 million, or $0.09 diluted earnings per share in the same period of 2024.
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $139.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $255.2 million for the same period of 2024.
On April 1, 2025 (the “Closing Date”), RPC, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Thru Tubing Solutions, Inc., completed its acquisition of Pintail Alternative Energy, L.L.C. (“Pintail”). Headquartered in Midland, Texas, Pintail is a leading provider of oilfield wireline perforating services in the Permian Basin and its conventional and electric wireline units are among the newest in the industry. The acquisition is building on RPC’s diversified oilfield services platform with geographic concentration in the most active oil producing region in the U.S. land market. Pintail is included in the Company’s Technical Services Segment.
On the Closing Date, 100% of Pintail’s equity was automatically canceled and converted into the right to receive (i) $170 million in cash, without interest, (ii) $25 million of RPC common stock, which was paid by the issuance of 4,545,454 shares of restricted common stock of RPC to one of the previous owners, and (iii) $50 million in the form of a secured note payable to Houston LP (the “Seller Note”). Interest on the Seller Note accrues at a variable rate equal to the Simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate, for the applicable interest period, plus 2.0% per annum, or where applicable, at a specified default rate. The Company began making interest payments on the Seller Note in the second quarter of 2025.
As of September 30, 2025, there were no outstanding borrowings under our credit facility.
How We Evaluate Our Operations
We use Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Free cash flow, all non-GAAP measures, to evaluate and analyze the operating performance of our businesses.
We believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin and Free cash flow are important indicators of performance. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA, adjusted for unusual (income)/expenses. Adjusted EBITDA margin reflects Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenues. Management believes that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin
23
enable investors to compare the operating performance of our core business consistently over various time periods without regard to changes in our capital structure. Management believes that Free cash flow, which measures our ability to generate needed cash from business operations, is an important financial measure for evaluating RPC’s financial condition. Our definition of Free cash flow is limited, in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures, since the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions.
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered as an alternative to net income/(loss), operating income/(loss), and related margins, or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Similarly, Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for GAAP presentation of net cash provided by operating activities, as a measure of our financial condition.
See Non-GAAP Financial Measures below for a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income, and Adjusted EBITDA margin to net income margin, the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and a reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to Operating Cash Flow, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024
Revenues. Revenues of $447.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, increased 32.4% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in revenues was primarily due to revenues of $99.8 million from recently acquired Pintail coupled with revenue increases in coiled tubing and downhole tools, partially offset by a decrease in pressure pumping. The pressure pumping market remains highly competitive. Management believes the industry continues to be over-supplied and efficiency gains are contributing to excess capacity in the industry. These challenges, as well as a declining rig count, have impacted activity levels, asset utilization, and pricing. International revenues represented 1.8% of total revenues in the third quarter of 2025 compared to
24
3.2% in the same period of the prior year. We believe that international revenues will continue to be less than 10% of RPC’s consolidated revenues in the foreseeable future.
During the third quarter of 2025, the average price of oil was 14.0% lower and the average price of natural gas was 44.8% higher, both compared to the same period in the prior year. The average domestic rig count (Source: Baker Hughes, Inc.) for the three months ended September 30, 2025, was 7.8% lower than in the same period in 2024.
The Technical Services segment revenues for the third quarter of 2025 increased by 34.7% compared to the same period of the prior year due primarily to the acquisition of Pintail, partially offset by a decrease in pressure pumping revenues. Technical Services reported operating income was $24.4 million during the third quarter of 2025 compared to operating income of $16.3 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase in Technical Services operating income was primarily due to results from recently acquired Pintail, partially offset by lower pricing in pressure pumping. Support Services segment revenues for the third quarter of 2025 increased by 3.1% compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to higher activity levels within rental tools. Support Services reported operating income of $4.6 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to operating income of $5.3 million for the third quarter of 2024. Third quarter 2025 Support Services operating income decreased by $682 thousand compared to the third quarter of the prior year.
Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues increased 35.2% to $334.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $247.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to costs from recently acquired Pintail. 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 $38.4 million for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $31.8 million for the third quarter of 2024.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $44.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $37.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in employment incentives and higher other employment related costs, coupled with expenses from recently acquired Pintail.
Acquisition related employment costs. Acquisition related employment costs of $6.5 million represent non-cash accounting adjustments related to the Pintail acquisition costs that are contingent upon continued employment. The remaining Acquisition related employment costs, totaling $65.1 million, are expected to be recognized equally over the next 10 quarters.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased 25.9% to $44.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $35.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. Depreciation and amortization increased due to additional fixed assets and intangibles related to the Pintail acquisition, coupled with capital expenditures in the past year.
Gain on disposition of assets, net. Gain on disposition of assets, net was $3.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. 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 $1.0 million for both the three months ended September 30, 2025 and the same period in the prior year.
Interest expense and interest income. Interest expense increased to $949 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $261 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to interest on the Seller Note issued in conjunction with the Pintail acquisition. Interest expense includes interest on the Seller Note, facility fees on the unused portion of the credit facility and the amortization of loan costs. Interest income decreased to $1.7 million compared to $3.5 million in the prior year due to a lower average cash balance, primarily due to the acquisition of Pintail on April 1, 2025.
Income tax provision. Income tax provision was $9.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $4.7 million in the same period in the prior year. The effective tax rate was 42.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to a 19.9% effective tax rate for the same period in the prior year. The effective tax rate was unusually high primarily due to the non-deductible portion of Acquisition related employment costs and provision to tax return adjustments.
Net income, net income margin and diluted earnings per share. Net income was $13.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, or $0.06 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $18.8 million during the three months ended
25
September 30, 2024, or $0.09 diluted earnings per share. Net income margin was 2.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to 5.6% for the same period in the prior year.
Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted EBITDA was $72.3 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 16.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $55.2 million and 16.4%, respectively, for the same period in the prior year.
Cash provided by operating activities and Free cash flow. Cash provided by operating activities was $46.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $70.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is due primarily to unfavorable changes in working capital, coupled with lower net income. Free cash flow was $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $19.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by lower capital expenditures.
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2025, COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024
Revenues. Revenues of $1.2 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, increased 11.2% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase in revenues was primarily due to revenues of 198.6 million from recently acquired Pintail partially offset by lower pressure pumping activity levels compared to the prior year. The pressure pumping market remains highly competitive. Management believes the industry continues to be over-supplied and efficiency gains are contributing to excess capacity in the industry. These challenges, as well as a declining rig count, have impacted activity levels, asset utilization, and pricing. International revenues represented 2.0% of total revenues in the first nine months of 2025 compared to 2.9% in the same period of the prior year. We believe that international revenues will continue to be less than 10% of RPC’s consolidated revenues in the foreseeable future.
During the first nine months of 2025, the average price of oil was 14.1% lower and the average price of natural gas was 64.2% higher, both compared to the same period in the prior year. The average domestic rig count (Source: Baker Hughes, Inc.) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was 6.3% lower than in the same period in 2024.
The Technical Services segment revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased by 11.8% compared to the same period of the prior year due primarily to results from recently acquired Pintail, partially offset by a decrease in Pressure Pumping revenues. Technical Services reported operating income of $59.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to operating income of $78.5 million in the same period of the prior year. The decrease in Technical Services operating income was primarily due to lower pricing coupled with increased activity in pressure pumping and several other service lines. Support Services segment revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 increased by 2.5% compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to higher activity levels within rental tools. Support Services reported operating income of $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to operating income of $13.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Support Services operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $1.4 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to lower pricing coupled with increased activity for rental tools.
Cost of revenues. Cost of revenues increased 14.0% to $896.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $786.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to costs from recently acquired Pintail. Excluding results from Pintail, cost of revenues decreased in line with revenues primarily due to a decrease in expenses consistent with lower activity levels, such as materials and supplies, fleet and transportation and maintenance and repairs expenses. 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 $107.4 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $88.7 million for the same period in the prior year.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $128.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $115.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to an increase in employment incentives and higher other employment related costs, coupled with expenses from recently acquired Pintail.
Acquisition related employment costs. Acquisition related employment costs of $13.0 million represent non-cash accounting adjustments related to the Pintail acquisition costs that are contingent upon continued employment. The remaining Acquisition related employment costs, totaling $65.1 million, are expected to be recognized equally over the next 10 quarters.
26
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased 25.4% to $122.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $97.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Depreciation and amortization increased due to additional fixed assets and intangibles related to the Pintail acquisition, coupled with capital expenditures in the past year.
Gain on disposition of assets, net. Gain on disposition of assets, net was $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. 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 $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $2.5 million for the same period in the prior year.
Interest expense and interest income. Interest expense increased to $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $594 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 primarily due to interest on the Seller Note issued in conjunction with the Pintail acquisition. Interest expense includes interest on the Seller Note, facility fees on the unused portion of the credit facility and the amortization of loan costs. Interest income decreased to $6.8 million compared to $9.8 million in the prior year primarily due to a lower average cash balance, primarily due to the acquisition of Pintail on April 1, 2025.
Income tax provision. Income tax provision was $21.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $20.1 million for the same period in the prior year. The effective tax rate was 37.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to a 20.3% effective tax rate for the same period in the prior year. The effective tax rate was unusually high primarily due to the non-deductible portion of Acquisition related employment costs and provision to tax return adjustments.
Net income, net income margin and diluted earnings per share. Net income was $35.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, or $0.16 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $78.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, or $0.37 diluted earnings per share.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin. Adjusted EBITDA was $186.8 million, and Adjusted EBITDA margin was 15.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $186.9 million and 17.3% for the same period in the prior year.
Cash provided by operating activities and Free cash flow. Cash provided by operating activities was $139.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $255.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is due primarily to unfavorable changes in working capital, coupled with lower net income. Free cash flow decreased to $21.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, from $75.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by lower capital expenditures.
Reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP Financial Measures
Disclosed herein are non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Free cash flow. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance or liquidity measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Operating Cash Flow to Free Cash Flow
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents decreased $162.5 thousand to $163.5 million as of September 30, 2025, compared to cash and cash equivalents of $326.0 million as of December 31, 2024.
The following table sets forth the historical cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:
Cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, decreased by $115.7 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to unfavorable changes in working capital, including a $52.8 million tax refund received in the prior year, coupled with a decrease in net income. Change in working capital was a use of cash of $43.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to a source of cash of $77.1 million in the same period last year. The most significant working capital related cash flow during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was a cash use of $45.4 million due to a decrease in unearned revenue resulting from the satisfaction of performance obligations associated with a customer cash
28
prepayment we received in the fourth quarter of 2024. The changes in the other components of working capital were mainly due to the timing of payments and receipts.
Cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, increased by $102.2 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to cash used to fund the acquisition of Pintail, partially offset by a decrease in capital expenditures primarily related to the timing of new equipment deliveries. Capital expenditures were $117.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $179.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In the prior year period, the Company was purchasing components of a new Tier 4 dual fuel pressure pumping fleet.
Cash used for financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, decreased by $1.8 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in repurchases of the Company’s common shares in the open market, partially offset by the repayment of debt assumed at acquisition.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
The Company’s financial condition 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 about 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 expect to utilize our revolving credit facility to meet these liquidity requirements in the near term.
The majority of our cash and cash equivalents are held at multiple financial institutions, each of which holds funds in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). These financial institutions are among the largest in the United States and we believe are a safe place to hold our deposits.
The Company currently has a $100.0 million revolving credit facility with 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 the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. Certain of the Company’s minor subsidiaries are not guarantors. The Credit Agreement’s maturity date is July 22, 2027, and the interest rate is based on Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”). In addition, the terms of the agreement have a 1.00% per annum floor for Base Rate borrowings and permits the issuance of letters of credit in currencies other than U.S. dollars. As of September 30, 2025, RPC had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, and letters of credit outstanding relating to self-insurance programs and contract bids totaled $15.8 million; therefore, a total of $84.2 million of the facility was available. The Company is currently in compliance with the credit facility financial covenants. For additional information with respect to RPC’s facility, see the Note titled Notes Payable of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company has a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) that expires on May 5, 2028, which permits it to offer common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights, depositary shares, purchase contracts and units containing two or more of the foregoing, in one or more offerings in an aggregate amount of up to $300 million. The Form S-3 is intended to provide us the flexibility to conduct registered sales of our securities, subject to market conditions and our future capital needs.
In the third quarter of 2025, RPC implemented the provisions of the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”), which resulted in a lower tax obligation due to the 100% bonus depreciation on capital expenditures placed in service after January 19th, 2025 and immediate expensing of all domestic research and development costs, that were previously amortized over five years. Implementation of the OBBBA provisions did not have an impact on our effective rate or the Income tax provision in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
The Company finalized the working capital adjustment related to the Pintail acquisition with the Seller and recorded a receivable of $12.3 million as of September 30, 2025. This receivable was collected in full subsequent to quarter end.
Cash Requirements
The Company currently expects capital expenditures, inclusive of recently acquired Pintail, to be between $170 million and $190 million in 2025, mostly related to maintenance. This is inclusive of opportunistic asset purchases and technology spend associated with our ERP implementation. As of September 30, 2025, $117.8 million has been spent. The Company is allocating capital to
29
maintain its pressure pumping fleet and continues to evaluate future investments and options to further upgrade our equipment across the business.
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. These audits involve 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. As of September 30, 2025, 12,768,870 shares remained available to be repurchased. During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, there were no shares repurchased by the Company 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.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Board of Directors approved the termination of the SERP. Pursuant to the Internal Revenue Service rules, participant balances are required to be distributed between 12 and 24 months after termination. The Company currently plans to distribute the balances in the fourth quarter of 2025 by liquidating assets currently held in the Rabbi Trust. We expect to receive a net cash distribution of approximately $8 million, subject to market changes, and to incur a one-time increase in our effective tax rate. Both the assets and liabilities related to the SERP are now reflected as part of current assets and current liabilities.
During 2024, the Company entered into a multi-year systems transformation program to upgrade our ERP and supply chain systems. We are currently in the early phases and expensed the majority of non-recurring costs incurred in 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. During 2025 the Company began capitalizing some costs associated with ERP implementation. We plan to continue the ERP implementation through a phased approach with costs being incurred over the next few years.
During the second quarter of 2025, the Company began making interest payments on the Seller Note and will continue making such payments in accordance with the terms of the Seller Note. In addition, per the terms of the Seller Note, the first principal payment of $20 million is payable within the next 12 months. The remainder of $30 million in principal is payable over two years after the first repayment, per the terms of the agreement.
On October 28, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.04 per share payable September 10, 2025, to common stockholders of record at the close of business on November 10, 2025. 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. Though the ultimate impact is uncertain, the Company does currently expect tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. to result in materially higher costs of equipment.
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 and policy developments as well as geopolitical disruptions. RPC believes that oil prices currently remain at levels sufficient to continue drilling and completion activities, however the recent decline of oil prices and potential further volatility could result in the Company’s customers opting to delay completion activity. Long-term, projected higher demand for oil and natural gas should drive increased activity in most of the basins in which RPC operates.
We continue to monitor the supply and demand for our services and the competitive environment, including trends such as increasing customer preferences for more efficient equipment. Increased efficiencies in recent years of oilfield completion services
30
and equipment, particularly in pressure pumping, has inherently contributed to oversupply in the Oilfield Services (OFS) market. We believe that competition will remain intense.
OFF BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
The Company does not have any material off balance sheet arrangements.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Marine Products Corporation (Marine Products)
In conjunction with RPC’s spin-off of its powerboat manufacturing business, RPC and Marine Products entered into various agreements that define the companies’ relationship. Per the terms of their Transition Support Services agreement, which may be terminated by either party, RPC provides certain administrative services, including financial reporting and income tax administration, acquisition assistance, etc., to Marine Products. Charges from the Company (or from corporations that are subsidiaries of the Company) for such services were $821 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and $858 thousand for the comparable period in 2024. All of the Company’s directors are also directors of Marine Products, and the executive officers are employees of both the Company and Marine Products.
The Company periodically purchases, in the ordinary course of business, products or services from suppliers that are owned by officers or significant stockholders of or affiliated with certain directors of RPC. The total amounts paid to these affiliated parties were $46 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
RPC and Marine Products own 50% each of a limited liability company called 255 RC, LLC that was created for the joint purchase and ownership of a corporate aircraft. RPC recorded certain net operating costs comprised of rent and an allocable share of fixed costs of $138 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to $153 thousand for the comparable period in 2024.
Pursuant to the registration rights agreement between us and our largest stockholder, LOR, Inc. (“LOR”) and certain of its affiliates (collectively, the Selling Stockholders) and their permitted transferees, we have filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC that expires on May 5, 2028. The Form S-3 shelf registration statement registers for the resale of up to 127,235,202 shares of our common stock, which represents a majority of the Company securities held by the Selling Stockholders. In addition, they have the right to require, subject to certain conditions and limitations, certain piggy back registration rights with respect to registrations initiated by us.
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, 2024. 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

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 belief that the operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025; our assessment we may further revise the Pintail acquisition consideration allocation during the remainder of the measurement period; our expectation that adjustments related to property, plant and equipment being finalized in connection with the Pintail preliminary acquisition consideration may be material; our belief that we expect to achieve synergies from the combined operations of the Company and Pintail and the assembled workforce; our contention that the acquisition of Pintail is building on our diversified oilfield services platform; our expectation that the Company will distribute the balances of the SERP in the fourth quarter of 2025 by liquidating all the assets currently held in the Rabbi Trust; our belief that the likelihood of a material loss related to the outstanding state tax assessment is remote, 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; statements that repurchases of the Company’s stock may be made from time to time in the open market by block purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or in such other manner as determined by the Company; 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, other shifting trends in our industry, and our customers’ drilling and production activities on our financial results; our belief that the pressure pumping market remains highly competitive; our belief that the industry continues to be over-supplied and efficiency gains are consistently adding pump hour capacity to the industry, and these challenges as well as a declining rig count, have resulted in activity, asset utilization, and pricing trending lower; our belief that international revenues will continue to be less than ten percent of our consolidated revenues in the foreseeable future; our belief that our financial condition remains strong; 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 expectation that we will not need our revolving credit facility to meet our liquidity requirements; our belief that our existing depository financial institutions are a safe place to hold our deposits; our expectation that capital expenditures will be between $170 million and $190 million during 2025 and our expectation that such expenditures will be mostly related to maintenance; our plan to continue to evaluate future investments and options to further upgrade our equipment across the business; our inability to estimate the outcomes of sales and use tax audits in various jurisdictions; our plan to continue the ERP implementation through a phased approach with costs being incurred over the next few years; our expectation 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 economy 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; our expectation that tariffs on goods imported into the U.S. will increase equipment prices; 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 and policy developments as well as geopolitical disruptions; our belief that oil prices currently remain at levels sufficient to continue drilling and completion activities, however, the recent decline of oil prices and potential further volatility could result in our customers opting to delay completion activity; our belief that long-term, projected steady higher demand for oil and natural gas should drive increased activity in most of the basins in which we operate; our belief that increased efficiencies in recent years of oilfield completion services and equipment, particularly in pressure pumping, has inherently contributed to oversupply in the Oilfield Services (OFS) market; our belief that competition will remain intense; our plan to continue to monitor the supply and demand for our services and the competitive environment, including trends such as increasing customer preferences for more efficient equipment; our expectation that changes in the foreign exchange rate will not have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial conditions; and our belief that the outcome of litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
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,
32
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; 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 America; 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, the potential for tariffs to increase our costs of materials and reduce our profitability, and capital expenditures are determined based on current expectations for our business, as a result, the occurrence of any of the foregoing or changes in our business model or expectations may cause us to materially increase or decrease our capital spending plans. 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, 2024, and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The Company is subject to interest rate risk exposure through borrowings on its credit facility and the Pintail Seller Note. As of September 30, 2025, there were no outstanding interest-bearing advances on our credit facility, which provides for interest at a floating rate.
Additionally, the Company is exposed to market risk resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates. 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.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures – The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, September 30, 2025 (“the Evaluation Date”), the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon this evaluation, which excluded the impact of the acquisition of Pintail, discussed below, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of the Evaluation Date.
As discussed in the Note titled “Acquisition” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I – Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, we completed the acquisition of Pintail during the second quarter. As part of our post-closing integration activities, we have been engaged in the process of assessing the internal controls of Pintail and are continuing to integrate policies, processes, people, technology, and operations for the post-acquisition combined company. As permitted for newly acquired businesses by interpretive guidance issued by the staff of the SEC, management has excluded the internal control over financial reporting of Pintail from the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2025. We have reported the operating results of Pintail in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Statements of Cash Flows from the acquisition date through September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, total assets related to Pintail represented approximately 17% of our total assets, recorded on a preliminary basis as the measurement period for the business
combination remained open as of September 30, 2025. Revenues from Pintail represented approximately 22% of our total consolidated revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting –The Company has successfully completed the mapping of Pintail’s accounts to our existing financial reporting systems. The Company is continuing to review key controls and has implemented controls related to all Pintail financial statement line items and consolidation in order to enable the accurate preparation and timely reporting of their results.
Other than the changes to Pintail controls noted above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the third quarter of 2025 which were identified in connection with management’s evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, no director or officer, as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of the Company adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
On June 10, 2025, Plaintiffs Bruce Taylor and Matthew Stevens, (“Plaintiffs”), purported stockholders of Marine Products Corporation and RPC, Inc. (the “Companies”), filed a putative class action complaint (“Complaint”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (“Court”) against the Companies and the members of our Board of Directors (collectively, the “Defendants”) under the caption Taylor v. Marine Products Corporation, et al., C.A. No. 2025-0654-NAC (the “Action”). Plaintiff alleged that certain provisions of the Companies’ bylaws that provided for the shifting of attorneys’ fees in specific circumstances violated Section 109(b) of the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Defendants believe that the allegations of the Complaint were meritless, deny those allegations, and deny that any violation of applicable law has occurred. However, solely to minimize expenses and distraction and to avoid the uncertainty of any litigation, on July 22, 2025, the Defendants amended the Companies’ bylaws to, among other things, remove the challenged provisions (the “Bylaw Amendments”).
On July 31, 2025, the parties entered into a proposed Stipulation and Order Dismissing the Action as Moot and Retaining Jurisdiction to Determine Plaintiff’s Counsel’s Application for an Award of Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses (the “Stipulation and Proposed Order”), pursuant to which the Court would retain jurisdiction regarding any application Plaintiff might make for an award of attorneys’ fees, which the Court entered. The Court retained jurisdiction to approve a form of notice concerning attorneys’ fees payable to Plaintiff in connection with the Bylaw Amendments. Following negotiation among the parties, with the intent to avoid further litigation and legal costs, and not as an admission of any of the Plaintiff’s claims, the Companies subsequently agreed to pay $50,000 each ($100,000 in the aggregate) in attorneys’ fees and expenses in full satisfaction of any and all claims by Plaintiffs and all of their counsel for fees and expenses in the Action.
On October 16, 2025, the Court entered an order closing the Action, subject to the Companies filing an affidavit with the Court confirming that this notice has been issued. In entering the order, the Court was not asked to review, and did not pass judgment on, the payment of the attorneys’ fees and expenses or their reasonableness. Plaintiffs’ counsel are Kimberly A. Evans of Block & Leviton LLP, (302) 499-3600. Counsel to the Company and the Board of Directors is Brock E. Czeschin of Richards, Layton & Finger, P.A., (302) 651-7700.
