Our Company

        We are one of the largest independent providers of high-specification ("high-spec") well service rigs and associated services in the United States, with a focus on technically demanding unconventional horizontal well completion and production operations. We believe that our fleet of 68 well service rigs is among the newest and most advanced in the industry and, based on our historical rig utilization and feedback from our customers, we believe that we are an operator of choice for U.S. onshore exploration and production ("E&P") companies that require completion and production services at increasing lateral lengths. Our high-spec well service rigs facilitate operations throughout the lifecycle of a well, including (i) well completion support, such as milling out composite plugs used during hydraulic fracturing; (ii) workover, including retrieval and replacement of existing production tubing; (iii) well maintenance, including replacement of downhole artificial lift components; and (iv) decommissioning, such as plugging and abandonment operations. We also provide rental equipment, including well control packages, hydraulic catwalks and other equipment that are often deployed with our well service rigs. In addition, we own and operate a fleet of proprietary, modular natural gas processing equipment that processes rich natural gas streams at the wellhead or central gathering points. We have operations in most of the active oil and natural gas basins in the United States, including the Permian Basin, the Denver-Julesburg Basin, the Bakken Shale and the Eagle Ford Shale.

        We have invested in a premier fleet of well service rigs. Our customers, which include many of the leading U.S. onshore E&P operators such as EOG Resources, Inc., Noble Energy, Inc., Oasis

Table of Contents

Petroleum Inc., PDC Energy Inc. and Statoil ASA, are increasingly utilizing modern horizontal well designs characterized by long lateral lengths that can extend in excess of 12,000 feet. Long lateral length wellbores require increased amounts of completion tubing, which, in turn, require well service rigs with higher operating horsepower ("HP") to pull longer tubing strings from the wellbore. Furthermore, long lateral horizontal wells generally utilize taller stacks of wellhead equipment, which drives demand for well service rigs that have taller mast heights capable of accommodating an elevated work floor. These modern horizontal well designs are ideally serviced by "high-spec" well service rigs with high operating HP (450 HP or greater) and tall mast heights (102 feet or higher) rather than competing coiled tubing units and older or lower-spec well service rigs. As of May 19, 2017, all but one of our well service rigs meets these specifications, and approximately 78% of our well service rigs exceed these specifications with HP ratings of at least 500 HP and mast heights of at least 104 feet, making our fleet particularly well-suited to perform high-margin, horizontal well completion and production operations. The only rig in our fleet that is not high-spec is generally deployed only for plugging and abandonment operations on conventional vertical wells.

        The high-spec well service rigs in our existing fleet, a substantial majority of which has been built since 2012, have an average age of approximately four years and feature modern operating components sourced from leading U.S. manufacturers such as National Oilwell Varco, Inc. ("NOV"). In February 2017, to meet expected customer demand, we entered into a purchase agreement (as subsequently amended, the "NOV Purchase Agreement") with NOV, pursuant to which we expect to accept delivery of an additional 27 high-spec well service rigs periodically throughout the remainder of 2017. However, NOV is not obligated pursuant to the NOV Purchase Agreement to deliver such high-spec well service rigs during 2017, and will not face penalties for delayed delivery, regardless of the length or cause of any delay. As a result of the NOV Purchase Agreement, our well service rig fleet will expand to 95 rigs, 94 of which will be high-spec. The following table provides summary information regarding our high-spec well service rig fleet, including the additional rigs that we expect to be delivered during the remainder of 2017. For additional information, please see "Business—Properties and Equipment—Equipment—Well Services."

        The composition of our well service rig fleet makes it particularly well-suited to provide both completion-oriented services, the demand for which generally increases along with increased capital spending by E&P operators, and production-oriented services, the demand for which is less influenced, on a comparative basis, by such capital spending. The ability of our well service rigs to accommodate the needs of our E&P customers in a variety of economic conditions has historically allowed us to

Table of Contents

maintain relatively high rig utilization as compared to our competitors. For example, our rig utilization (as defined in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—How We Evaluate Our Operations—Rig Utilization") during 2016 and the first quarter of 2017 was approximately 74% and 81%, respectively, which we believe to be significantly higher than that of our publicly listed competitors in the United States over such periods.

        In addition to our core well service rig operations, we offer a suite of complementary services, including wireline, snubbing, fluid management and well service-related equipment rentals. Our rental equipment includes well control packages and hydraulic catwalks, which are typically deployed in conjunction with high-spec well service rigs. These complementary services and equipment are typically procured by the same decision-makers at our customers that procure our well service rigs and are provided by our same field personnel, generating incremental revenues per job while limiting our incremental costs. Our complementary well completion and production services and equipment strategically enhance our operating footprint, create operational efficiencies for our customers and allow us to capture a greater portion of their spending across the lifecycle of a well.

        We also provide a range of proprietary, modular equipment for the processing of rich natural gas streams at the wellhead or central gathering points in basins where drilling and completion activity has outpaced the development of permanent processing infrastructure. Our fleet of more than 25 MRUs is modern, reliable and equipped to handle large volumes of natural gas from conventional and unconventional wells while operating across a broad array of oilfield conditions with minimal downtime and maintenance. Our customers rely on our purpose-built MRUs to process natural gas to meet pipeline specifications, extract higher value NGLs, process natural gas to conform to the specifications of fuel gas that can be used at wellsites and facilities, and to reduce the amount of hydrocarbons at the flare tip to control emissions of hazardous VOCs.

        We have focused on combining our high-spec rig fleet, complementary well service operations and processing solutions with a highly skilled and experienced workforce, which enables us to consistently and efficiently deliver exceptional service while maintaining high health, safety and environmental standards. We believe that our strong operational performance and safety record provides a strong competitive advantage with current and prospective E&P customers.


Industry Trends

        We believe the demand for our services will continue to increase as a result of a number of favorable industry trends. Demand for oilfield services is primarily driven by the level of drilling, completion and production activity by E&P companies, which, in turn, depends largely on the current and anticipated profitability of developing oil and natural gas reserves. Crude oil prices have increased from their lows of $26.21 per barrel ("Bbl") in early 2016 to $49.33 per Bbl at the end of April 2017 (based on the Cushing West Texas Intermediate Spot Oil Price ("WTI")), but remain approximately 54% lower than a high of $107.26 per Bbl in June 2014. Natural gas prices have increased from their lows of $1.64 per million British Thermal Units ("MMBtu") in early 2016 to $3.17 per MMBtu at the end of April 2017 (based on the Henry Hub Natural Gas Spot Price), but remain approximately 61% lower than a high of $8.15 per MMBtu in February 2014. Drilling and completion activity by E&P companies has increased along with increased commodity prices. Although our cost of services has also historically risen along with increased commodity prices and may rise faster than increases in our revenues, we believe that we will benefit from the increased demand for our services that we expect would result from increased commodity prices. Additionally, we believe there are long term fundamental demand trends that will continue to benefit us, including:

    Increasing complexity of well completion operations, including longer laterals and a greater number of frac stages per well;

    Increasing percentage of rigs that are drilling horizontal wells;

3


Table of Contents

    Increasing percentage of total production attributable to older horizontal wells;

    Shift towards liquids-rich development that is reliant on artificial lift technologies and associated well maintenance and workover operations;

    Sizable inventory of DUC wells requiring completion; and

    Increasing customer focus on well-capitalized, safe and efficient service providers that can meet or exceed their health, safety and environmental requirements.

        Historically, the well services market in the United States has primarily been driven by well maintenance and workover operations on conventional, vertical wells. However, Coras estimates that more than 100,000 new horizontal shale wells have been brought online over the last decade, driven by a structural shift towards unconventional resource development. According to data from the Energy Information Administration and Drillinginfo, the contribution of horizontal wells to total onshore U.S. crude oil production has increased rapidly over the last five years, representing approximately 66% of such production from the lower 48 states in 2016 as compared to approximately 39% in 2012. Further, the contribution to total onshore U.S. crude oil production of horizontal wells completed more than three years ago, which are typically the most likely to require workover and maintenance services, represented approximately 16% of such production in the lower 48 states in 2016, or approximately four times greater than that in 2012. In addition, according to Spears, a total of approximately 66,900 new horizontal wells are expected to be drilled in the United States from 2017 to 2021. Going forward, unconventional horizontal wells are expected to drive the demand for high-spec well service rigs both for completion of new wells and for maintenance and workover operations to sustain production on the increasing population of existing wells. To the extent that the oil and natural gas industry recovers from the recent prolonged decline in activity, we expect that demand for our higher-margin, completion-oriented services will grow at a faster rate in the near-term than that for our production-oriented services.

        In addition to the demand trends cited above, we believe pricing for our services will be further enhanced as a result of the following supply factors:

    Limited existing base of high-spec well service rigs;

    Aging of existing well services equipment given the limited investment since the industry downturn in late 2014;

    Limited number of manufacturers capable of building high-spec well service rigs; and

    Lesser reliability of alternative techniques, including coiled tubing, for high-complexity well completions.

        According to Coras, the vast majority of well service rigs in the United States are poorly suited for unconventional, long-lateral horizontal well applications. Coras classifies well service rigs with capacities of 450 HP or more and mast heights of 102 feet or higher as high-spec well service rigs that are ideally suited to service unconventional horizontal wells. According to Coras, the U.S. oil and natural gas industry is expected to require 1,000 to 1,500 of such ideally suited high-spec well service rigs over the next three years, as compared to an estimated total industry fleet of 770 as of February 28, 2017.

        Moreover, alternative techniques for well completion, such as the deployment of coiled tubing units for drill-out operations, have increasingly become less common as wellbore lateral lengths have continued to increase beyond the point where coiled tubing can reliably be deployed for well completion. Based on discussions with our E&P customers, we believe that coiled tubing units generally begin to decrease in effectiveness at lateral lengths in excess of 8,000 feet. Spears estimates that in 2016, wells with lateral lengths in excess of 8,000 feet accounted for approximately 98% of the horizontal wells drilled in the Bakken Shale, approximately 50% of the horizontal wells drilled in the

4


Table of Contents

Permian Basin and approximately 42% of the horizontal wells drilled in the Rocky Mountains region, including the Denver-Julesburg Basin. Increased lateral lengths in these and other basins are generally prompting operators to shift from using coiled tubing units to more reliable high-spec well service rigs. For example, according to Qittitut, approximately 45% of horizontal well completion drill-outs in 2016 were completed with well service rigs, as compared to approximately 25% in 2012.

        As a result of the supply and demand trends listed above, we expect to benefit from enhanced pricing for our services and continued industry-leading utilization. We believe that increased demand for our services as a result of commodity price trends and the increasing complexity of well completion operations, along with the limited supply of high-spec well service rigs and the relative unreliability of alternative well servicing techniques, present a unique market opportunity for our high-spec well service rig operations and related services.


Our Competitive Strengths

        We believe that the following strengths will position us to achieve our primary business objective of creating value for our shareholders:

Leading Provider of High-Spec Well Service Rigs and Associated Services

        We have invested in a premier fleet of well service rigs designed to efficiently execute technically challenging horizontal well completion programs as well as production-oriented well maintenance, workover and decommissioning operations. In February 2017, we entered into the NOV Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which we expect to accept delivery of an additional 27 high-spec well service rigs periodically throughout the remainder of 2017. As a result of the NOV Purchase Agreement, our total well service rig fleet will expand to 95 rigs, 94 of which will be high-spec. Based on Coras data, this makes us one of the largest independent providers of high-spec well service rigs and associated services in the United States. Further, we believe that our fleet of high-spec well service rigs is among the youngest fleet of well service rigs in the industry and is therefore more reliable and better suited to perform work on long lateral horizontal wells than the older fleets of many of our competitors. Additionally, our large and increasingly uniform fleet of high-spec well service rigs facilitates consistency in maintenance, training, in-field performance and service quality to customers. As horizontal well complexity continues to increase, we expect our customers will increasingly rely on high-spec well service rigs to perform both completion and production services. Consequently, we expect demand growth for our fleet of well service rigs to outpace that for many of our competitors' fleets.

Balanced Exposure to Completion and Production Activity

        The composition of our well service rig fleet makes it particularly well-suited to provide both completion-oriented and production-oriented services. Accordingly, we benefit from increased exposure to high-margin unconventional well completion support operations during periods of increased completion activity while maintaining stable growth through workover, well maintenance and decommissioning operations on the growing base of producing wells. The ability of our well service rigs to accommodate the needs of our E&P customers in a variety of economic conditions has historically allowed us to maintain relatively high well service rig utilization as compared to our competitors. For example, our rig utilization during 2016 and the first quarter of 2017 was approximately 74% and 81%, respectively, which we believe to be significantly higher than that of our publicly listed competitors in the United States over such periods. Going forward, we believe that our balanced exposure to completion and production activity will continue to result in relatively high well service rig utilization as compared to our competitors.

Proprietary Natural Gas and NGL Processing Solutions

        We have developed a premium offering that includes proprietary designs on modern processing equipment, including modular MRUs that process natural gas at the wellhead or central gathering points to meet pipeline specifications, extract higher value NGLs, provide fuel gas for wellsites and facilities and reduce emissions at the flare tip. To facilitate the processing of rich natural gas streams in basins where drilling and completion activity has outpaced the development of permanent processing infrastructure, we typically enter into six- to twelve-month rental agreements with customers for our full-service, turnkey solutions, providing us with relatively stable cash flows as compared to the shorter-term agreements often used for similar equipment and services. Our modular units provide flexibility across a broad range of project requirements and operating environments, and are designed to allow for quick mobilization to minimize downtime and increase utilization, particularly in conjunction with the operational support provided by our expert field personnel. We expect our advanced technology and high-quality service to continue to drive market penetration across the multiple basins in which we operate.

Deep Relationships with Blue-Chip E&P Customers across Multiple Basins

        We are headquartered in Houston, Texas, and have an extensive operating footprint in key unconventional energy plays, including the Permian Basin, the Denver-Julesburg Basin, the Eagle Ford Shale and the Bakken Shale, which are among the most prolific unconventional resource plays in the United States. Our relationships with our broad customer base, which includes EOG Resources, Inc., Noble Energy, Inc., Oasis Petroleum Inc., PDC Energy Inc. and Statoil ASA, enabled us during the recent downturn to maintain higher utilization and stronger financial results than many of our competitors. Our track record of consistently providing high-quality, safe and reliable service has allowed us to develop long-term customer partnerships, which we believe makes us the service provider of choice for many of our customers. For example, in 2014, we entered into a five-year take-or-pay contract (the "EOG Contract") with EOG Resources, Inc. for three well service rigs, which was increased in 2015 to six well service rigs, operating in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas. Pursuant to the EOG Contract, EOG Resources, Inc. is generally obligated, with respect to each contracted well service rig, to utilize such well service rig for an average annual minimum of 2,750 hours at a stated rate based on our costs and other adjustments plus a mark-up that is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances based on market conditions and other factors. Further, during 2016, we worked for 148 distinct customers, including 33 publicly traded companies, with no customer accounting for more than 20% of our annual revenues. As our customers increase their drilling and completion activity, we expect to continue to leverage our current relationships to expand our geographic footprint and to facilitate continued growth in the basins in which we currently operate.

Strong Balance Sheet Enables Strategic Deployment of Capital

        We believe our balance sheet strength has allowed us to continue to invest in our equipment and meet working capital requirements required for a fast growing business, while also providing flexibility to opportunistically pursue expansion opportunities. We believe that larger E&P operators prefer well-capitalized service providers that are better positioned to meet service requirements and financial obligations. Many of our primary competitors have high levels of total debt or recently emerged from bankruptcy during which they significantly reduced their capital and maintenance expenditures. By contrast, after giving effect to this offering and the use of proceeds therefrom, we expect to have no outstanding debt, $             million of borrowing capacity under a senior secured revolving credit facility that we intend to enter into in connection with the closing of this offering (our "Credit Facility") and approximately $             million of cash on the balance sheet (based on our cash balance as of March 31, 2017), providing us with ample liquidity to support strategic investments to continue to grow our business and enhance market share.

Experienced Management Team Reinforces Dedication to Safety and Reliability

        The members of our management team are seasoned operating, financial and administrative executives with extensive experience in and knowledge of the oilfield services industry. Our senior executives have a strong track record in establishing oilfield service companies and growing them organically and through strategic acquisitions. Our management team is led by our President and Chief Executive Officer, Darron M. Anderson, who has more than 26 years of oil and natural gas experience and a track record of leadership in the oilfield services industry. Each member of our management team possesses significant leadership and operational experience with long tenures in the industry and respective careers at leading companies. We believe that the commitment of our management team to building and supporting a strong company culture has driven our consistent track record of reliability and safety. During 2016, our Total Recordable Incident Rates ("TRIR") in our Well Services and Processing Solutions segments were 0.72 and 0.00, respectively. Our history of safe operations enables us to qualify for projects with industry leading E&P customers that have stringent safety requirements.


Our Business Strategy

        We believe that we will be able to achieve our primary business objective of creating value for our shareholders by executing on the following strategies:

Capitalize on the Expected Increase in Demand for High-Spec Well Service Rigs

        As a leading owner and operator of modern high-spec well service rigs with an operating footprint and customer relationships in the most active unconventional oil and natural gas basins in the United States, we believe that our company is well positioned to capitalize efficiently on a recovery in unconventional completion and production activity and the resulting demand for high-spec well service rigs. Further, we expect that the relatively high current inventory of DUC wells will drive demand growth for horizontal well completion services that will outpace the growth in the U.S. onshore drilling rig count. Industry reports by Spears forecast that the U.S. onshore market for completion equipment and services is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 26% through 2021, primarily driven by unconventional horizontal wells. We intend to leverage our high quality assets to strategically target higher-margin, horizontal completions-oriented work that typically exceeds the capabilities of coiled tubing and older, lower specification well service rigs. Unconventional oil wells in particular typically require frequent intervention as a result of relatively high utilization of downhole tools and equipment. As the growing base of unconventional producing wells ages, we expect E&P operators to increasingly deploy well service programs in order to increase and sustain production. We are well positioned to provide these services throughout the life of the well to meet this demand, including through well completion support services, workover operations and well maintenance, which should result in stable growth, increased asset utilization, enhanced profitability and relatively limited cyclicality.

Grow Our Fleet of High-Spec Well Service Rigs, Modular MRUs and Associated Equipment

        We have invested in a fleet of high-spec well service rigs through a combination of purchasing new-build rigs from leading U.S. manufacturers and by acquiring and integrating assets from other companies. As a result of the NOV Purchase Agreement, we expect to accept delivery of an additional 27 high-spec rigs periodically throughout the remainder of 2017. Further, in connection with our continued investment in high-spec well service rigs capable of meeting the most challenging horizontal well demands, we intend to accelerate our utilization of innovative technology systems allowing for the immediate collection and analysis of rig performance data. This data will allow us to operate among the highest levels of efficiency while assisting our customers in developing best well servicing practices.

        We have also invested in differentiated and proprietary assets in our equipment rentals business, including our modern, reliable fleet of modular MRUs. We expect to leverage our strong balance sheet

7


Table of Contents

and continue to strategically deploy additional capital to invest in high-spec well service rigs, purpose-built MRUs and complementary rental equipment to service our customers' well completion, production and processing operations.

Develop and Expand Relationships with Existing and New Customers

        We serve well-capitalized customers that we believe will be critical to the long-term development of conventional and unconventional domestic onshore resources in the United States. We intend to continue developing long-term relationships with our customer base of leading E&P operators that value safe and reliable operations and have the financial stability and flexibility to weather most industry cycles. We believe that our strong track record of performance combined with our fleet of high-spec well service rigs will allow us to both develop new customer relationships and expand our existing customer relationships through cross-selling opportunities with respect to our complementary equipment and services. Furthermore, many of our customers have established operations throughout the United States, which we intend to leverage as opportunities for us to enter new geographic regions as well as further strengthen our presence in the regions where we currently operate.

Maintain a Conservative Balance Sheet to Pursue Organic and External Growth Opportunities

        We intend to maintain a conservative approach to managing our balance sheet to preserve operational and strategic flexibility. We actively manage our liquidity by monitoring cash flow, capital spending and debt capacity. For example, as of March 31, 2017, we had only approximately $22.5 million of total combined consolidated long-term debt, all of which, as well as the additional $3.5 million incurred under the Ranger Bridge Loan (as defined herein) in April and May 2017, has been or will be repaid prior to or in connection with the consummation of this offering. Our focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet has enabled us to execute our strategy through industry volatility and commodity price cycles. We expect to fund the expansion of our high-spec well service rig fleet and continue to grow our operations with the proceeds from this offering, cash flow from operations, availability under our Credit Facility and capital markets offerings when appropriate.

Reinforce Strong Company Culture through Employee Retention and Dedication to Safety

        We believe that our technically skilled personnel enable us to provide consistently reliable services while maintaining an excellent safety record that surpasses industry averages and meets the expectations of our leading E&P customers. By reinforcing our strong company culture, fostering a dedication to safety through the maintenance of stringent employee screening and training and providing opportunities to work with modern equipment and leading technologies, we expect to continue to experience relatively low turnover of our highly skilled workforce and attract additional talent to continue to deliver exceptional service to our customers.


Our Equity Sponsor

        We believe that our strong growth has been augmented by our relationship with CSL, our equity sponsor. We believe that we will continue to benefit from CSL's investment experience in the oilfield services sector, its expertise in effecting transactions and its support for our near-term and long-term strategic initiatives.

        CSL is an SEC-registered private equity firm founded in early 2008 and headquartered in Houston, Texas, that invests in energy services companies and entrepreneurs with a focus on oilfield services opportunities. Since its inception, CSL has raised in excess of $1.4 billion in equity capital and commitments across various investment vehicles, including startups, growth equity, recapitalizations and restructurings in energy services, consumables and equipment. The CSL team has deep sector expertise in the energy industry and takes a hands-on approach to investments, relying on organic growth and

strategic thinking to generate investment success. CSL's investors include financial institutions, endowments, foundations, family offices and high net worth individuals.

        Upon completion of this offering, the Existing Owners will initially own        shares of Class A common stock,             Ranger Units and                shares of Class B common stock, representing approximately        % of the voting power of our capital stock. CSL holds a majority of the voting interests in each of the Existing Owners.

        For more information on CSL and the ownership of our common stock by our principal and selling shareholders, including the Existing Owners, see "Corporate Reorganization" and "Principal and Selling Shareholders."


Our History and Corporate Reorganization

        Ranger Services was, through Ranger Holdings, formed by CSL in June 2014 as a provider of high-spec well service rigs and associated services. Torrent Services was, through Torrent Holdings, acquired by CSL in September 2014 as a provider of proprietary, modular equipment for the processing of natural gas. In June 2016, CSL indirectly acquired substantially all of the assets of Magna Energy Services, LLC ("Magna"), a provider of well services and wireline services, which it contributed to Ranger Services in September 2016. In October 2016, Ranger Services acquired substantially all of the assets of Bayou Workover Services, LLC ("Bayou"), an owner and operator of high-spec well service rigs. The historical combined consolidated financial information of our Predecessor included in this prospectus presents the historical financial information of the Predecessor Companies, including, as applicable, the results of operations of Magna and Bayou for periods subsequent to their respective acquisitions.

        Ranger Inc. was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in February 2017. Following this offering and the corporate reorganization described below, Ranger Inc. will be a holding company, the sole material assets of which will consist of membership interests in Ranger LLC. Ranger LLC will own all of the outstanding equity interests in Ranger Services and Torrent Services, the subsidiaries through which it will operate its assets. After the consummation of the corporate reorganization described below, Ranger Inc. will be the sole managing member of Ranger LLC, will be responsible for all operational, management and administrative decisions relating to Ranger LLC's business and will consolidate the financial results of Ranger LLC and its subsidiaries.

        In connection with this offering, the Existing Owners will effect a series of restructuring transactions, as a result of which (a) Ranger Holdings II and Torrent Holdings II will contribute certain of the equity interests in the Predecessor Companies to Ranger LLC in exchange for an aggregate of                shares of Class A common stock, (b) Ranger Holdings and Torrent Holdings will contribute the remaining membership interests in the Predecessor Companies to Ranger LLC in exchange for                units in Ranger LLC ("Ranger Units"), (c) Ranger Inc. will issue and contribute                shares of its Class B common stock and all of the net proceeds received by it in this offering to Ranger LLC in exchange for                Ranger Units and (d) Ranger LLC will distribute to each of Ranger Holdings and Torrent Holdings one share of Class B common stock for each Ranger Unit such Existing Owner holds. To the extent the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full or in part, Ranger Inc. will contribute the net proceeds received by it therefrom to Ranger LLC in exchange for an additional number of Ranger Units equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock issued by it pursuant to the underwriters' option. Ranger LLC will use such net proceeds to purchase from Ranger Holdings and Torrent Holdings an aggregate number of Ranger Units equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock issued by Ranger Inc. pursuant to the underwriters' option.

        After giving effect to these transactions and the offering contemplated by this prospectus, Ranger Inc. will own an approximate        % interest in Ranger LLC (or         % if the underwriters'

option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full) and the Existing Owners will own an approximate        % interest in Ranger LLC (or        % if the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full). Please see "Principal and Selling Shareholders" and "Use of Proceeds."

        Each share of Class B common stock has no economic rights but entitles its holder to one vote on all matters to be voted on by shareholders generally. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters presented to our shareholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law or by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. We do not intend to list our Class B common stock on any exchange.

        Following this offering, under the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Ranger LLC (the "Ranger LLC Agreement"), each holder (a "Ranger Unit Holder") of Ranger Units will, subject to certain limitations, have the right (the "Redemption Right") to cause Ranger LLC to acquire all or a portion of its Ranger Units (along with a corresponding number of shares of our Class B common stock) for, at Ranger LLC's election, (i) shares of our Class A common stock at a redemption ratio of one share of Class A common stock for each Ranger Unit redeemed, subject to conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and other similar transactions, or (ii) cash in an amount equal to the Cash Election Value (as defined herein) of such Class A common stock. We will determine whether to issue shares of Class A common stock or cash in an amount equal to the Cash Election Value based on facts in existence at the time of the decision, which we expect would include the trading prices for the Class A common stock at the time relative to the cash purchase price for the Ranger Units, the availability of other sources of liquidity (such as an issuance of preferred stock) to acquire the Ranger Units and alternative uses for such cash. Alternatively, upon the exercise of the Redemption Right, Ranger Inc. (instead of Ranger LLC) will have the right (the "Call Right") to, for administrative convenience, acquire each tendered Ranger Unit directly from the redeeming Ranger Unit Holder for, at its election, (x) one share of Class A common stock or (y) cash in an amount equal to the value of a share of Class A common stock, based on a volume-weighted average price. In addition, upon a change of control of us, we have the right to require each Ranger Unit Holder (other than us) to exercise its Redemption Right with respect to some or all of such unitholder's Ranger Units. In connection with any redemption of Ranger Units pursuant to the Redemption Right or our Call Right, the corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock will be cancelled. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Ranger LLC Agreement."

        Our acquisition (or deemed acquisition for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of Ranger Units pursuant to an exercise of the Redemption Right or the Call Right is expected to result in adjustments to the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Ranger LLC, and such adjustments will be allocated to us. These adjustments would not have been available to us absent our acquisition or deemed acquisition of Ranger Units and are expected to reduce the amount of cash tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future.

        In connection with the closing of this offering, we will enter into a Tax Receivable Agreement (the "Tax Receivable Agreement") with certain of the Ranger Unit Holders and their permitted transferees (each such person, a "TRA Holder" and, together, the "TRA Holders"). The Tax Receivable Agreement will generally provide for the payment by Ranger Inc. to each TRA Holder of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax and franchise tax that Ranger Inc. actually realizes (computed using the estimated impact of state and local taxes) or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances in periods after this offering as a result of (i) certain increases in tax basis that occur as a result of Ranger Inc.'s acquisition (or deemed acquisition for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of all or a portion of such TRA Holder's Ranger Units in connection with this offering or pursuant to the exercise of the Redemption Right or the Call Right and (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by Ranger Inc. as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, any payments

10


Table of Contents

Ranger Inc. makes under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Ranger Inc. will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash savings.

        Payments will generally be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement as we realize actual cash tax savings in periods after this offering from the tax benefits covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement. However, if we experience a change of control (as defined under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which includes certain mergers, asset sales and other forms of business combinations) or the Tax Receivable Agreement terminates early (at our election or as a result of our breach), we would be required to make a substantial, immediate lump-sum payment, and such payment may be significantly in advance of, and may materially exceed, the actual realization, if any, of the future tax benefits to which the payment relates. Ranger Inc. is a holding company and accordingly will be dependent upon distributions from Ranger LLC to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. It is expected that payments will continue to be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement for more than 20 to 25 years. For additional information regarding the Tax Receivable Agreement, see "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Corporate Reorganization and Resulting Structure" and "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Tax Receivable Agreement."

        The Existing Owners will have the right, under certain circumstances, to cause us to register the offer and resale of their shares of Class A common stock. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Registration Rights Agreement."

Risk Factors

        Investing in our Class A common stock involves risks. You should read carefully the section of this prospectus entitled "Risk Factors" for an explanation of these risks before investing in our Class A common stock. In particular, the following considerations may offset our competitive strengths or have a negative effect on our strategy or operating activities, which could cause a decrease in the price of our Class A common stock and a loss of all or part of your investment.

    Our business depends on domestic capital spending by the oil and natural gas industry, and reductions in such capital spending could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations.

    The volatility of oil and natural gas prices may adversely affect the demand for our services and negatively impact our results of operations.

    Our operations are subject to inherent risks, some of which are beyond our control. These risks may be self-insured, or may not be fully covered under our insurance policies.

    Reliance upon a few large customers may adversely affect our revenues and operating results.

    We face intense competition that may cause us to lose market share and could negatively affect our ability to market our services and expand our operations.

    We currently rely on a limited number of third-party manufacturers to build the new high-spec well service rigs that we purchase, and such reliance exposes us to risks including price and timing of delivery.

    Our operating history may not be sufficient for investors to evaluate our business and prospects.

    The growth of our business through acquisitions may expose us to various risks, including those relating to difficulties in identifying suitable, accretive acquisition opportunities and integrating businesses, assets and personnel, as well as difficulties in obtaining financing for targeted acquisitions and the potential for increased leverage or debt service requirements.

    We will incur significant capital expenditures for new equipment as we grow our operations and may be required to incur further capital expenditures as a result of advancements in oilfield services technologies.

    Increases in the scope or pace of midstream infrastructure development, or decreased federal or state regulation of natural gas pipelines, could decrease demand for our services.

    We may be unable to employ or retain a sufficient number of skilled and experienced workers.

    Delays or restrictions in obtaining permits by us for our operations or by our customers for their operations could impair our business.

    Federal, state and local legislative and regulatory initiatives relating to induced seismicity could result in operating restrictions or delays in the drilling and completion of oil and natural gas wells that may reduce demand for our services and could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations.

    Changes in transportation regulations may increase our costs and negatively impact our results of operations.

    We are subject to environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations that may expose us to significant costs and liabilities.

    Ranger Services has had difficulty maintaining compliance with the covenants and ratios required under the Ranger Line of Credit and Ranger Note (each as defined herein). We may

12


Table of Contents

      have similar difficulties with the new Credit Facility that we expect to enter into in connection with the consummation of this offering. Failure to maintain compliance with these financial covenants or ratios could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

    We rely on a few key employees whose absence or loss could adversely affect our business.

    We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and may identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, which may result in material misstatements of our financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations.

    CSL has the ability to direct the voting of a majority of our voting stock, and its interests may conflict with those of our other shareholders.

    We expect to be a "controlled company" within the meaning of NYSE rules and, as a result, will qualify for and intend to rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements.

    We are a holding company. Our sole material asset after completion of this offering will be our equity interest in Ranger LLC, and we will be accordingly dependent upon distributions from Ranger LLC to pay taxes, make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and cover our corporate and other overhead expenses.


Emerging Growth Company Status

        We are an "emerging growth company" within the meaning of the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the "JOBS Act"). For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with certain requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies" within the meaning of the JOBS Act, including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 ("Sarbanes-Oxley") and the reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports. In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), for complying with new or revised accounting standards. We have irrevocably opted out of the extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies. We have elected to adopt certain of the reduced disclosure requirements available to emerging growth companies. For a description of the qualifications and other requirements applicable to emerging growth companies and certain elections that we have made due to our status as an emerging growth company, see "Risk Factors—Related to this Offering and Our Class A Common Stock—For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements, including those relating to accounting standards and disclosure about our executive compensation, that apply to other public companies."


Controlled Company Status

        Because CSL, through its interests in the Existing Owners, will initially hold approximately        % of the voting power of our capital stock following the completion of this offering, we expect to be a controlled company as of the completion of the offering under Sarbanes-Oxley and NYSE rules. A controlled company does not need its board of directors to have a majority of independent directors or to form an independent compensation or nominating and corporate governance committee. As a controlled company, we will remain subject to rules of Sarbanes-Oxley and the NYSE that require us to have an audit committee composed entirely of independent directors. Under these rules, we must have

13


Table of Contents

at least one independent director on our audit committee by the date our Class A common stock is listed on the NYSE, at least two independent directors on our audit committee within 90 days of the listing date, and at least three independent directors on our audit committee within one year of the listing date. We expect to have                        independent directors upon the closing of this offering.

        If at any time we cease to be a controlled company, we will take all action necessary to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley and NYSE rules, including by appointing a majority of independent directors to our board of directors and ensuring we have a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee, each composed entirely of independent directors, subject to a permitted "phase-in" period.

        Initially, our board of directors will consist of a single class of directors each serving one-year terms. After CSL and its affiliates no longer collectively hold more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock, our board of directors will be divided into three classes of directors, with each class as equal in number as possible, serving staggered three-year terms, and such directors will be removable only for "cause." See "Management—Status as a Controlled Company."


Our Offices

        Our principal executive offices are located at 800 Gessner Street, Suite 1000, Houston, Texas 77024, and our telephone number at that address is (713) 935-8900. Our website address is www.rangerenergy.com. Information contained on our website does not constitute part of this prospectus.

Use of proceeds

  We expect to receive approximately $            million of net proceeds from the sale of Class A common stock, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by us (assuming the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus). Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the public offering price would increase (decrease) our net proceeds by approximately $            million.

  We intend to contribute all of the net proceeds received by us in this offering to Ranger LLC in exchange for Ranger Units. Ranger LLC will use approximately $29.1 million of the net proceeds to fully repay amounts outstanding under the Ranger Line of Credit, the Ranger Note and the Ranger Bridge Loan (including the make-whole premium thereon), and approximately $38.6 million of the net proceeds to acquire high-spec well service rigs, including pursuant to the NOV Purchase Agreement. Ranger LLC will use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including funding potential future acquisitions and other capital expenditures.

  To the extent the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full or in part, Ranger Inc. will contribute the net proceeds received by it therefrom to Ranger LLC in exchange for an additional number of Ranger Units equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock issued by it pursuant to the underwriters' option. Ranger LLC will use such net proceeds to purchase from Ranger Holdings and Torrent Holdings an aggregate number of Ranger Units equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock issued by Ranger Inc. pursuant to the underwriters' option. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling shareholders. Please see "Use of Proceeds."

(instead of Ranger LLC) will have the right, pursuant to the Call Right, to acquire each tendered Ranger Unit directly from the redeeming Ranger Unit Holder for, at its election, (x) one share of Class A common stock or (y) cash in an amount equal to the value of a share of Class A common stock, based on a volume-weighted average price. In addition, upon a change of control of us, we have the right to require each Ranger Unit Holder (other than us) to exercise its Redemption Right with respect to some or all of such unitholder's Ranger Units. In connection with any redemption of Ranger Units pursuant to the Redemption Right or our Call Right, the corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock will be cancelled. Please see "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Ranger LLC Agreement."

Tax Receivable Agreement

  Our acquisition (or deemed acquisition for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of Ranger Units pursuant to an exercise of the Redemption Right or the Call Right is expected to result in adjustments to the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Ranger LLC, and such adjustments will be allocated to us. These adjustments would not have been available to use absent our acquisition or deemed acquisition of Ranger Units and are expected to reduce the amount of cash tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future. In connection with the closing of this offering, we will enter into a Tax Receivable Agreement with the TRA Holders that will generally provide for the payment by us to each TRA Holder of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax and franchise tax that we actually realize or are deemed to realize in certain circumstances in periods after this offering as a result of certain tax basis increases and certain tax benefits attributable to imputed interest. We will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash savings. See "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Corporate Reorganization and Resulting Structure" and "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Tax Receivable Agreement."

Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before interest expense, net, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, acquisition-related and severance costs, impairment of goodwill and certain other items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure because it allows for an effective evaluation of our operating performance when compared to our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net loss in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net loss determined in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our results will be unaffected by the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

RISK FACTORS

        Investing in our Class A common stock involves risks. You should carefully consider the information in this prospectus, including the matters addressed under "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and the following risks before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occur, the trading price of our Class A common stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial could also materially affect our business.


Risks Related to Our Business

Our business depends on domestic capital spending by the oil and natural gas industry, and reductions in such capital spending could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations.

        Our business is directly affected by our customers' capital spending to explore for, develop and produce oil and natural gas in the United States. The significant decline in oil and natural gas prices that began in late 2014 has caused a reduction in the exploration, development and production activities of most of our customers and their spending on our services. These cuts in spending have curtailed drilling programs, which has resulted in a reduction in the demand for our services as compared to activity levels in late 2014, as well as in the prices we can charge. In addition, certain of our customers could become unable to pay their vendors and service providers, including us, as a result of the decline in commodity prices. Reduced discovery rates of new oil and natural gas reserves in our areas of operation as a result of decreased capital spending may also have a negative long-term impact on our business, even in an environment of stronger oil and natural gas prices, to the extent the reduced number of wells that need our services or equipment more than offsets new drilling and completion activity and complexity. Any of these conditions or events could adversely affect our operating results. If the recent recovery does not continue or our customers fail to further increase their capital spending, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations.

        Industry conditions are influenced by numerous factors over which we have no control, including:

    domestic and foreign economic conditions and supply of and demand for oil and natural gas;

    the level of prices, and expectations about future prices, of oil and natural gas;

    the level and cost of global and domestic oil and natural gas exploration, production, transportation of reserves and delivery;

    taxes and governmental regulations, including the policies of governments regarding the exploration for and production and development of their oil and natural gas reserves;

    political and economic conditions in oil and natural gas producing countries;

    actions by the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") with respect to oil production levels and announcements of potential changes in such levels, including the failure of such countries to comply with production cuts announced in November 2016;

    global weather conditions and natural disasters;

    worldwide political, military and economic conditions;

    the discovery rates of new oil and natural gas reserves;

    shareholder activism or activities by non-governmental organizations to restrict the exploration, development and production of oil and natural gas;

22


Table of Contents

    advances in exploration, development and production technologies or in technologies affecting energy consumption;

    the potential acceleration of development of alternative fuels; and

    uncertainty in capital and commodities markets and the ability of oil and natural gas companies to raise equity capital and debt financing.

The volatility of oil and natural gas prices may adversely affect the demand for our services and negatively impact our results of operations.

        The demand for our services is primarily determined by current and anticipated oil and natural gas prices and the related levels of capital spending and drilling activity in the areas in which we have operations. Volatility or weakness in oil prices or natural gas prices (or the perception that oil prices or natural gas prices will decrease) affects the spending patterns of our customers and may result in the drilling of fewer new wells. This, in turn, could lead to lower demand for our services and may cause lower utilization of our assets. We have, and may in the future, experience significant fluctuations in operating results as a result of the reactions of our customers to changes in oil and natural gas prices. For example, prolonged low commodity prices experienced by the oil and natural gas industry beginning in late 2014 and uncertainty about future prices even when prices increased, combined with adverse changes in the capital and credit markets, caused many E&P companies to significantly reduce their capital budgets and drilling activity. This resulted in a significant decline in demand for oilfield services and adversely impacted the prices oilfield services companies could charge for their services.

        Prices for oil and natural gas historically have been extremely volatile and are expected to continue to be volatile. During the past three years, the posted WTI price for oil has ranged from a low of $26.21 per Bbl in February 2016 to a high of $107.26 per Bbl in June 2014. During 2016, WTI prices ranged from $26.21 to $54.06 per Bbl. If the prices of oil and natural gas continue to be volatile, reverse their recent increases or decline, our operations, financial condition, cash flows and level of expenditures may be materially and adversely affected.

We may be adversely affected by uncertainty in the global financial markets and the deterioration of the financial condition of our customers.

        Our future results may be impacted by the uncertainty caused by an economic downturn, volatility or deterioration in the debt and equity capital markets, inflation, deflation or other adverse economic conditions that may negatively affect us or parties with whom we do business resulting in a reduction in our customers' spending and their non-payment or inability to perform obligations owed to us, such as the failure of customers to honor their commitments or the failure of major suppliers to complete orders. Additionally, during times when the natural gas or crude oil markets weaken, our customers are more likely to experience financial difficulties, including being unable to access debt or equity financing, which could result in a reduction in our customers' spending for our services. In addition, in the course of our business we hold accounts receivable from our customers. In the event of the financial distress or bankruptcy of a customer, we could lose all or a portion of such outstanding accounts receivable associated with that customer. Further, if a customer was to enter into bankruptcy, it could also result in the cancellation of all or a portion of our service contracts with such customer at significant expense or loss of expected revenues to us.

Table of Contents

Our operations are subject to inherent risks, some of which are beyond our control. These risks may be self-insured, or may not be fully covered under our insurance policies.

        Our operations are subject to hazards inherent in the oil and natural gas industry, such as, but not limited to, accidents, blowouts, explosions, craterings, fires, oil spills and releases of drilling, completion or fracturing fluids or hazardous materials into the environment. These conditions can cause:

    disruption or suspension of operations;

    substantial repair or replacement costs;

    personal injury or loss of human life;

    significant damage to or destruction of property and equipment;

    environmental pollution, including groundwater contamination;

    unusual or unexpected geological formations or pressures and industrial accidents; and

    substantial revenue loss.

        In addition, our operations are subject to, and exposed to, employee/employer liabilities and risks such as wrongful termination, discrimination, labor organizing, retaliation claims and general human resource-related matters.

        The occurrence of a significant event or adverse claim in excess of the insurance coverage that we maintain or that is not covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations and may increase our costs. Claims for loss of oil and natural gas production and damage to formations can occur in the well services industry. Litigation arising from a catastrophic occurrence at a location where our equipment and services are being used may result in our being named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting large claims.

        We do not have insurance against all risks, either because insurance is not available or because of the high premium costs. The occurrence of an event not fully insured against or the failure of an insurer to meet its insurance obligations could result in substantial losses. In addition, we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates we consider reasonable. Insurance may not be available to cover any or all of the risks to which we are subject, or, even if available, it may be inadequate, or insurance premiums or other costs could rise significantly in the future so as to make such insurance prohibitively expensive.

Reliance upon a few large customers may adversely affect our revenues and operating results.

        Our top five customers represented approximately 82% and 55% of our combined consolidated revenues for 2015 and 2016, respectively, and approximately 73% and 64% of our combined consolidated revenues for the first quarters of 2016 and 2017, respectively. Within our Well Services segment, our top five customers represented approximately 77% and 62% of our Well Services segment revenues for 2015 and 2016, respectively, and approximately 87% and 69% of our revenues for the first quarters of 2016 and 2017, respectively. Within our Processing Solutions segment, our top five customers represented approximately 98% and 90% of our Processing Solutions segment revenues for 2015 and 2016, respectively, and approximately 89% and 100% of our revenues for the first quarters of 2016 and 2017, respectively. It is likely that we will continue to derive a significant portion of our revenue from a relatively small number of customers in the future. If a major customer fails to pay us, our revenues would be impacted and our operating results and financial condition could be materially harmed. Additionally, if we were to lose any material customer, we may not be able to redeploy our equipment at similar utilization or pricing levels or within a short period of time and such loss could

24


Table of Contents

have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations until the equipment is redeployed at similar utilization or pricing levels.

We are exposed to the credit risk of our customers, and any material nonpayment or nonperformance by our customers could adversely affect our financial results.

        We are subject to the risk of loss resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our customers, many of whose operations are concentrated solely in the domestic E&P industry which, as described above, is subject to volatility and, therefore, credit risk. Our credit procedures and policies may not be adequate to fully reduce customer credit risk. If we are unable to adequately assess the creditworthiness of existing or future customers or unanticipated deterioration in their creditworthiness, any resulting increase in nonpayment or nonperformance by them and our inability to re-market or otherwise use our equipment could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects or results of operations.

We face intense competition that may cause us to lose market share and could negatively affect our ability to market our services and expand our operations.

        The oilfield services business is highly competitive and fragmented. Some of our competitors are small companies capable of competing effectively in our markets on a local basis, while others have a broader geographic scope, greater financial and other resources, or other cost efficiencies. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and services and changes in customer requirements. Additionally, there may be new companies that enter our business, or re-enter our business with significantly reduced indebtedness following emergence from bankruptcy, or our existing and potential customers may develop their own oilfield services business. Our ability to maintain current revenues and cash flows, and our ability to market our services and expand our operations, could be adversely affected by the activities of our competitors and our customers. If our competitors substantially increase the resources they devote to the development and marketing of competitive services or substantially decrease the prices at which they offer their services, we may be unable to effectively compete. Many contracts are awarded on a bid basis, which may further increase competition based primarily on price. The competitive environment may be further intensified by mergers and acquisitions among oil and natural gas companies or other events that have the effect of reducing the number of available customers. All of these competitive pressures could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations. Some of our larger competitors provide a broader range of services on a regional, national or worldwide basis. These companies may have a greater ability to continue oilfield service activities during periods of low commodity prices and to absorb the burden of present and future federal, state, local and other laws and regulations. Any inability to compete effectively could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

We currently rely on a limited number of third-party manufacturers to build the new high-spec well service rigs that we purchase, and such reliance exposes us to risks including price and timing of delivery.

        We currently rely on a limited number of third-party manufacturers to build our new high-spec well service rigs. For example, approximately 72% of our existing high-spec well service rigs were manufactured by NOV. Pursuant to the NOV Purchase Agreement, we expect to accept delivery of an additional 25 high-spec well service rigs periodically throughout the remainder of 2017; however, NOV is not obligated pursuant to the NOV Purchase Agreement to deliver such high-spec well service rigs during 2017, and will not face penalties for delayed delivery, regardless of the length or cause of any delay. If demand for high-spec well service rigs or the components necessary to build such high-spec well service rigs increases or our manufacturers' suppliers face financial distress or bankruptcy, such manufacturers, including NOV, may not be able to provide the new high-spec well service rigs to us on

25


Table of Contents

schedule or at expected prices. If this were to occur, we could be required to seek other manufacturers to build our high-spec well service rigs and, other than the manufacturers on which we currently rely, there are a limited number of additional manufacturers that are capable of building high-spec service rigs to our specifications. Disruptions in the ability of our manufacturers to deliver our new high-spec well service rigs may adversely affect our revenues or increase our costs.

Our operating history may not be sufficient for investors to evaluate our business and prospects.

        We are, and upon completion of transactions described under "Corporate Reorganization" will be, a recently combined company with a short combined operating history, which makes it difficult for potential investors to evaluate our prospective business or operations or the merits of an investment in our securities. The Magna and Bayou acquisitions were completed in June 2016 and October 2016, respectively, and our Predecessor's combined consolidated financial and operating results only reflect the impact of such acquisitions for periods subsequent to such acquisitions. In addition, the Predecessor Companies, which will become our operating subsidiaries in connection with the transactions described under "Corporate Reorganization," have not historically operated on a consolidated or combined basis or under the same management team. Further, certain members of our management team have a limited history operating together and may experience difficulties relating to the efficient integration of varying management systems, processes and procedures. These factors may make it more difficult for investors to evaluate our business and prospects and to forecast our future operating results. For example, the historical combined consolidated and unaudited pro forma condensed financial data may not give you an accurate indication of what our actual results would have been if our corporate reorganization, the Magna and Bayou acquisitions or the formation of our current management team had been completed at the beginning of the periods presented or of what our future results of operations are likely to be. Our future results will depend on our ability to efficiently manage our combined operations and execute our business strategy.

        Further, due to the sharp decline in demand for well services beginning in late 2014, and the recent recovery of activity in the well services industry, comparisons of our current and future operating results with prior periods may have limited utility.

The growth of our business through acquisitions may expose us to various risks, including those relating to difficulties in identifying suitable, accretive acquisition opportunities and integrating businesses, assets and personnel, as well as difficulties in obtaining financing for targeted acquisitions and the potential for increased leverage or debt service requirements.

        We have pursued and intend to continue to pursue selected, accretive acquisitions of complementary assets and businesses. Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including:

    unanticipated costs and exposure to liabilities assumed in connection with the acquired business or assets, including but not limited to environmental liabilities;

    difficulties in integrating the operations and assets of the acquired business and the acquired personnel;

    limitations on our ability to properly assess and maintain an effective internal control environment over an acquired business;

    potential losses of key employees and customers of the acquired business;

    risks of entering markets in which we have limited prior experience; and

    increases in our expenses and working capital requirements.

        The process of integrating an acquired business, including in connection with our corporate reorganization, may involve unforeseen costs and delays or other operational, technical and financial

difficulties and may require a significant amount of time and resources. Our failure to incorporate the acquired business and assets into our existing operations successfully or to minimize any unforeseen operational difficulties could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations. Furthermore, there is intense competition for acquisition opportunities in our industry. Competition for acquisitions may increase the cost of, or cause us to refrain from, completing acquisitions.

        In addition, we may not have sufficient capital resources to complete any additional acquisitions. Historically, we have financed our acquisitions primarily with funding from our equity investors, commercial borrowings and cash generated by operations. We may incur substantial indebtedness to finance future acquisitions and also may issue equity, debt or convertible securities in connection with such acquisitions. Debt service requirements could represent a significant burden on our results of operations and financial condition, and the issuance of additional equity or convertible securities could be dilutive to our existing shareholders. Furthermore, we may not be able to obtain additional financing as needed or on satisfactory terms.

        Our ability to continue to grow through acquisitions and manage growth will require us to continue to invest in operational, financial and management information systems and to attract, retain, motivate and effectively manage our employees. The inability to effectively manage the integration of acquisitions, including in connection with our corporate reorganization, could reduce our focus on current operations, which, in turn, could negatively impact our earnings and growth. Our financial position and results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period to period, based on whether or not significant acquisitions are completed in particular periods.

We may have difficulty managing growth in our business, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

        As a recently formed company, growth in accordance with our business plan, if achieved, could place a significant strain on our financial, operational and management resources. As we expand the scope of our activities and our geographic coverage through both organic growth and acquisitions, there will be additional demands on our financial, technical, operational and management resources. The failure to continue to upgrade our technical, administrative, operating and financial control systems or the occurrences of unexpected expansion difficulties, including the failure to recruit and retain experienced managers, engineers and other professionals in the oilfield services industry, could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations and our ability to successfully or timely execute our business plan.

We will incur significant capital expenditures for new equipment as we grow our operations and may be required to incur further capital expenditures as a result of advancements in oilfield services technologies.

        As we grow our operations we will be required to incur significant capital expenditures to build, acquire, update or replace our existing well service rigs and other equipment. Such demands on our capital and the increase in cost of labor necessary to operate such well service rigs and other equipment could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations and may increase our costs. To the extent we are unable to fund such projects, we may have less equipment available for service or our equipment may not be attractive to current or potential customers.

        In addition, because the oilfield services industry is characterized by significant technological advancements and introductions of new products and services using new technologies, we may lose market share or be placed at a competitive disadvantage as competitors and others use or develop new technologies or technologies comparable to ours in the future. Further, we may face competitive pressure to implement or acquire certain new technologies at a substantial cost. Some of our

27


Table of Contents

competitors may have greater financial, technical and personnel resources than we do, which may allow them to gain technological advantages or implement new technologies before we can. Additionally, we may be unable to implement new technologies or services at all, on a timely basis or at an acceptable cost.

        In addition to technological advancements by our competitors, new technology could also make it easier for our customers to vertically integrate their operations or otherwise conduct their activities without the need for our equipment and services, thereby reducing or eliminating the need for our services. For example, if further advancements in drilling and completion techniques cause our E&P customers to require well service rigs with different or higher specifications than those in our existing and expected future fleet, or to otherwise require well service equipment that we do not currently own or operate, we may be required to incur significant additional capital expenditures to obtain any such new rigs or other equipment in an effort to meet customer demand. Limits on our ability to effectively obtain, use, implement or integrate new technologies may have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations.

Increases in the scope or pace of midstream infrastructure development, or decreased federal or state regulation of natural gas pipelines, could decrease demand for our services.

        Increases in the scope or pace of midstream infrastructure development could decrease demand for our services. Our processing solutions are designed for the processing of rich natural gas streams at the wellhead or central gathering points in basins where drilling and completion activity has outpaced the development of permanent processing infrastructure. Specifically, our modular MRUs are used by our customers to meet pipeline specifications, extract higher value NGLs, provide fuel gas for wellsites and facilities and reduce emissions at the flare tip, services that are generally required when E&P companies drill oil and natural gas wells in basins without immediate access to sufficient midstream infrastructure and takeaway capacity. To the extent that permanent midstream infrastructure is developed in the basins in which we operate, or the pace of existing development is accelerated as a result of customer demand, the demand for our processing solutions could decrease.

        In addition, there has recently been increasing public controversy regarding construction of new natural gas pipelines and the stringency of current regulation of natural gas pipelines, creating uncertainty as to the probability and timing of such construction. Decreases to the stringency of regulation of existing natural gas pipelines at either the state or federal level could reduce the demand for our services and could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations.

We may be unable to employ or retain a sufficient number of skilled and experienced workers.

        We are dependent upon the available labor pool of skilled employees and may not be able to find or retain enough skilled labor to meet our needs, which could have a negative effect on our growth. The delivery of our products and services requires workers with specialized skills and experience who can perform physically demanding work. As a result of our industry volatility, including the recent and pronounced decline in drilling activity, as well as the demanding nature of the work, many workers have left the oilfield services industry to pursue employment in different fields. Our ability to expand our operations depends in part on our ability to increase the size of our skilled labor force. In addition, our ability to be productive and profitable will depend upon our ability to retain skilled workers. The demand for skilled workers is high and the supply is limited. As a result, competition for experienced oilfield service personnel is intense, and we face significant challenges in competing for crews and management with large and well-established competitors. Recently, we have experienced a significant increase in labor costs, and significant continued increases in the wages paid by competing employers could result in a reduction of our skilled labor force, increases in the wage rates that we must pay, or

28

both. If either of these events were to occur, our capacity and profitability could be diminished and our growth potential could be impaired.

        In addition, we require full compliance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 and other laws concerning immigration and the hiring of legally documented workers. We recognize that foreign nationals may be a valuable source of talent, but that not all foreign nationals are authorized to work for U.S. companies immediately. In some cases, it may be necessary to obtain a required work authorization from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security or similar government agency prior to a foreign national working as an employee for us. Although we do not know of any issues with our employees, we could lose employees or be subject to an enforcement action that may have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations. We are also subject to the Fair Labor Standards Act, which governs such matters as minimum wage, overtime and other working conditions.

Delays or restrictions in obtaining permits by us for our operations or by our customers for their operations could impair our business.

        In most states, our operations and the operations of our customers require permits from one or more governmental agencies in order to perform drilling and completion activities, secure water rights, or other regulated activities. Such permits are typically issued by state agencies, but federal and local governmental permits may also be required. The requirements for such permits vary depending on the location where such regulated activities will be conducted. As with all governmental permitting processes, there is a degree of uncertainty as to whether a permit will be granted, the time it will take for a permit to be issued, and the conditions that may be imposed in connection with the granting of the permit. In addition, some of our customers' drilling and completion activities may take place on federal land or Native American lands, requiring leases and other approvals from the federal government or Native American tribes to conduct such drilling and completion activities or other regulated activities. Under certain circumstances, federal agencies may cancel proposed leases for federal lands and refuse to grant or delay required approvals. Therefore, our customers' operations in certain areas of the United States may be interrupted or suspended for varying lengths of time, causing a loss of revenues to us and adversely affecting our results of operations in support of those customers.

Federal or state legislative and regulatory initiatives related to induced seismicity could result in operating restrictions or delays in the drilling and completion of oil and natural gas wells that may reduce demand for our services and could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations.

        Our oil and natural gas customers dispose of flowback and produced water or certain other oilfield fluids gathered from oil and natural gas producing operations in accordance with permits issued by government authorities overseeing such disposal activities. While these permits are issued pursuant to existing laws and regulations, these legal requirements are subject to change based on concerns of the public or governmental authorities regarding such disposal activities. One such concern relates to recent seismic events near underground disposal wells used for the disposal by injection of flowback and produced water or certain other oilfield fluids resulting from oil and natural gas activities. When caused by human activity, such events are called induced seismicity.

        In March 2016, the United States Geological Survey identified six states with the most significant hazards from induced seismicity, including Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arkansas. In response to concerns regarding induced seismicity, regulators in some states have imposed, or are considering imposing, additional requirements in the permitting of produced water disposal wells or otherwise to assess any relationship between seismicity and the use of such wells. For example, Oklahoma issued new rules for wastewater disposal wells in 2014 that imposed certain permitting and operating restrictions and reporting requirements on disposal wells in proximity to faults

29


Table of Contents

and also, from time to time, is developing and implementing plans directing certain wells where seismic incidents have occurred to restrict or suspend disposal well operations. The Texas Railroad Commission adopted similar rules in 2014. In addition, ongoing lawsuits allege that disposal well operations have caused damage to neighboring properties or otherwise violated state and federal rules regulating waste disposal. These developments could result in additional regulation and restrictions on the use of injection wells by our customers to dispose of flowback and produced water and certain other oilfield fluids. Increased regulation and attention given to induced seismicity also could lead to greater opposition to, and litigation concerning, oil and natural gas activities utilizing injection wells for waste disposal. Any one or more of these developments may result in our customers having to limit disposal well volumes, disposal rates or locations, or require our customers or third party disposal well operators that are used to dispose of customers' wastewater to shut down disposal wells, which developments could adversely affect our customers' business and result in a corresponding decrease in the need for our services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations.

Changes in transportation regulations may increase our costs and negatively impact our results of operations.

        We are subject to various transportation regulations including as a motor carrier by the U.S. Department of Transportation ("DOT") and by various federal, state and tribal agencies, whose regulations include certain permit requirements of highway and safety authorities. These regulatory authorities exercise broad powers over our trucking operations, generally governing such matters as the authorization to engage in motor carrier operations, safety, equipment testing, driver requirements and specifications and insurance requirements. The trucking industry is subject to possible regulatory and legislative changes that may impact our operations, such as changes in fuel emissions limits, hours of service regulations that govern the amount of time a driver may drive or work in any specific period, requirements for on-board black box recorder devices or limits on vehicle weight and size. To the extent the federal government continues to develop and propose regulations relating to fuel quality, engine efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions, we may experience an increase in costs related to truck purchases and maintenance, impairment of equipment productivity, a decrease in the residual value of vehicles, unpredictable fluctuations in fuel prices and an increase in operating expenses. Increased truck traffic may contribute to deteriorating road conditions in some areas where our operations are performed.

        Further, our operations could be affected by road construction, road repairs, detours and state and local regulations and ordinances restricting access to certain roads, including through routing and weight restrictions. In recent years, certain states, such as North Dakota and Texas, and certain counties have increased enforcement of weight limits on trucks used to transport raw materials, such as the fluids that we transport in connection with our fluids management services, on their public roads. It is possible that the states, counties and cities in which we operate our business may modify their laws to further reduce truck weight limits or impose curfews or other restrictions on the use of roadways. Such legislation and enforcement efforts could result in delays in, and increased costs to, transport fluids and otherwise conduct our business. Proposals to increase federal, state or local taxes, including taxes on motor fuels, are also made from time to time, and any such increase would increase our operating costs. Also, state and local regulation of permitted routes and times on specific roadways could adversely affect our operations. We cannot predict whether, or in what form, any legislative or regulatory changes or municipal ordinances applicable to our logistics operations will be enacted and to what extent any such legislation or regulations could increase our costs or otherwise adversely affect our business or operations.

Table of Contents

We are subject to environmental and occupational health and safety laws and regulations that may expose us to significant costs and liabilities.

        Our operations are subject to numerous federal, regional, state and local laws and regulations relating to protection of natural resources and the environment, occupational health and safety, air emissions and water discharges, and the management, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous wastes and other materials. These laws and regulations impose numerous obligations that may impact our operations, including the acquisition of permits to conduct regulated activities, the imposition of restrictions on the types, quantities and concentrations of various substances that can be released into the environment or injected in formations in connection with oil and natural gas drilling and production activities, the incurrence of capital expenditures to mitigate or prevent releases of materials from our equipment, facilities or from customer locations where we are providing services, the imposition of substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from our operations, and the application of specific health and safety standards or criteria addressing worker protection. Any failure on our part or the part of our customers to comply with these laws and regulations could result in prohibitions or restrictions on operations, assessment of sanctions including administrative, civil and criminal penalties, issuance of corrective action orders requiring the performance of investigatory, remedial or curative activities or enjoining performance of some or all of our operations in a particular area, the occurrence of delays in the permitting or performance of projects and/or government or private claims for personal injury or property or natural resources damages.

        Our business activities present risks of incurring significant environmental costs and liabilities, including costs and liabilities resulting from our handling and disposal of oilfield and other wastes, air emissions and wastewater discharges related to our operations and the historical operations and waste disposal practices of our predecessors. Moreover, accidental releases or spills may occur in the course of our operations, and we could incur significant costs and liabilities as a result of such releases or spills, including any third-party claims for damage to property, natural resources or persons. In addition, private parties, including the owners of properties upon which we perform services and facilities where our wastes are taken for reclamation or disposal, also may have the right to pursue legal actions to enforce compliance as well as to seek damages for non-compliance with environmental laws and regulations or for personal injury or property or natural resource damages. Some environmental laws and regulations may impose strict liability, which means that in some situations we could be exposed to liability even if our conduct was lawful at the time it occurred or the conduct of, or conditions caused by, prior operators or other third parties.

        The trend in environmental regulation has been to place more restrictions and limitations on activities that may adversely affect the environment, and thus any changes in environmental laws and regulations or re-interpretation of enforcement policies that result in more stringent and costly completion activities, or waste handling, storage transport, disposal, or remediation requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations if we are unable to pass on such increased compliance costs to our customers. Our customers may also incur increased costs or delays or restrictions in permitting or operating activities as a result of more stringent environmental laws and regulations, which may result in a curtailment of exploration, development or production activities that would reduce the demand for our services.

We provide services to customers who operate on federal and tribal lands, which are subject to additional regulations.

        We provide services to companies operating on federal and tribal lands. Various federal agencies within the U.S. Department of the Interior, particularly the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management ("BLM") and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, along with certain Native American tribes, promulgate and enforce regulations pertaining to oil and natural gas operations on Native American tribal lands and minerals where some of our customers operate. Such operations are subject

31


Table of Contents

to additional regulatory requirements, including lease provisions, drilling and production requirements, surface use restrictions, environmental standards, royalty considerations and taxes.

        The BLM finalized a rule in March 2015 establishing standards for hydraulic fracturing on federal and American Indian lands. In June 2016, a Wyoming federal judge struck down this rule, finding that the BLM lacked authority to promulgate the rule. That decision was appealed by the federal government but, in March 2017, the BLM asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit to stay the proceeding while the agency considers repealing the rule. In November 2016, the BLM finalized a rule regulating the venting and flaring of natural gas, leak detection, air emissions from equipment, well maintenance and unloading, drilling and completions and royalties potentially owed for loss of such emissions from oil and natural gas facilities producing on federal and tribal leases. The final rule became effective in January 2017 and is the subject of pending litigation filed by oil and natural gas trade associations and certain states seeking to modify or overturn the rule. In addition, in a March 28, 2017 executive order, President Trump directed the Secretary of the Interior to review these and several other BLM rules related to oil and gas operations and, if appropriate, to suspend, revise, or rescind the rules. The executive order also directs all executive agencies more broadly to review existing regulations that potentially burden the development or use of domestically produced energy resources.

        The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") also issued a Federal Implementation Plan ("FIP") to implement the Federal Minor New Source Review Program on tribal lands for oil and natural gas production. The FIP creates a permit-by-rule process for minor air sources that also incorporates emission limits and other requirements under various federal air quality standards, applying them to a range of equipment and processes used in oil and natural gas production. The FIP does not apply in areas of ozone non-attainment. As a result, the EPA may impose area-specific regulations in certain areas identified as tribal lands that may require additional emissions controls on existing equipment.

        Depending on the ultimate outcome of any agency reviews and pending litigation, these regulations could result in increased compliance costs or additional operating restrictions, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects, results of operations, demand for our services and cash flows.

Any future indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition.

        Although we will have no indebtedness outstanding at the closing of this offering, we expect that we will be able to borrow up to $             million our Credit Facility.

        In addition, subject to the limits contained in our Credit Facility, we may incur substantial additional debt from time to time. Any borrowings we may incur in the future would have several important consequences for our future operations, including that:

    covenants contained in the documents governing such indebtedness may require us to meet or maintain certain financial tests, which may affect our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in our industry, such as being able to take advantage of acquisition opportunities when they arise;

    our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general corporate and other purposes may be limited;

    we may be competitively disadvantaged compared to our competitors that have greater access to capital resources; and

    we may be more vulnerable to adverse economic and industry conditions.

32


Table of Contents

        If we incur indebtedness in the future, we may have significant principal payments due at specified future dates under the documents governing such indebtedness. Our ability to meet such principal obligations will be dependent upon future performance, which in turn will be subject to general economic conditions, industry cycles and financial, business and other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our control. Our business may not continue to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to repay any incurred indebtedness. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow from operations, we may be required to sell assets, to refinance all or a portion of such indebtedness or to obtain additional financing.

Our Credit Facility will subject us to various financial and other restrictive covenants. These restrictions may limit our operational or financial flexibility and could subject us to potential defaults under our Credit Facility.

        Our Credit Facility will subject us to significant financial and other restrictive covenants, including, but not limited to, restrictions on incurring additional debt and certain distributions. Our ability to comply with these financial condition tests can be affected by events beyond our control and we may not be able to do so.

        Our Credit Facility will contain certain financial covenants, including a certain leverage ratio, a certain minimum fixed charge coverage ratio and a certain minimum liquidity level we must maintain. Please see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Our Debt Agreements."

        If we are unable to remain in compliance with the financial covenants of our Credit Facility, then amounts outstanding thereunder may be accelerated and become due immediately. Any such acceleration could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations.

Ranger Services has had difficulty maintaining compliance with the covenants and ratios required under the Ranger Line of Credit and Ranger Note. We may have similar difficulties with the new Credit Facility that we expect to enter into in connection with the consummation of this offering. Failure to maintain compliance with these financial covenants or ratios could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

        We have historically relied on our existing debt facilities, such as the Ranger Line of Credit and Ranger Note, and, in connection with the consummation of this offering, expect to rely on the new Credit Facility to provide liquidity and support for our operations and growth objectives, as necessary. We expect that the new Credit Facility will require us to comply with certain financial covenants and ratios. Our ability to comply with these restrictions and covenants in the future is uncertain and will be affected by the levels of cash flow from our operations and events or circumstances beyond our control, including events and circumstances that may stem from the condition of financial markets and commodity price levels. For example, as of March 31, 2017, Ranger Services' leverage ratio exceeded the threshold of 1.75 to 1.00 under the Ranger Line of Credit and Ranger Note and Ranger Services did not generate the required minimum net income of zero or greater. Ranger Services was in compliance with all other covenants at that time. On May 17, 2017, Ranger Services obtained a waiver of such non-compliance with respect to the first quarter of 2017 from the lender under the Ranger Line of Credit and Ranger Note. There can be no assurance we will be able to obtain future waivers from the lender under the Ranger Line of Credit and Ranger Note. We have classified the outstanding debt under the Ranger Line of Credit and Ranger Note as current because Ranger Services does not anticipate being in compliance with all covenants and ratios required under the Ranger Line of Credit and Ranger Note in the next twelve months. We have obtained additional commitments from CSL for additional capital through at least March 31, 2018. We plan to repay and retire the Ranger Line of Credit and Ranger Note from the proceeds of this offering.

Table of Contents

        In the event that we are unable to access sufficient capital to fund our business and planned capital expenditures, we may be required to curtail potential acquisitions, strategic growth projects, portions of our current operations and other activities. A lack of capital could result in a decrease in our operations, subject us to claims of breach under customer and supplier contracts and may force us to sell some of our assets or issue additional equity on an untimely or unfavorable basis, each of which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Increases in interest rates could adversely impact the price of our shares, our ability to issue equity or incur debt for acquisitions or other purposes.

        Interest rates on future borrowings, credit facilities and debt offerings could be higher than current levels, causing our financing costs to increase accordingly. Changes in interest rates, either positive or negative, may affect the yield requirements of investors who invest in our shares, and a rising interest rate environment could have an adverse impact on the price of our shares, our ability to issue equity or incur debt for acquisitions or other purposes.

Fuel conservation measures could reduce demand for oil and natural gas which would in turn reduce the demand for our services.

        Fuel conservation measures, alternative fuel requirements and increasing consumer demand for alternatives to oil and natural gas could reduce demand for oil and natural gas. The impact of the changing demand for oil and natural gas may have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations. Additionally, the increased competitiveness of alternative energy sources (such as wind, solar geothermal, tidal, and biofuels) could reduce demand for hydrocarbons and therefore for our services, which would lead to a reduction in our revenues.

Unsatisfactory safety performance may negatively affect our customer relationships and, to the extent we fail to retain existing customers or attract new customers, adversely impact our revenues.

        Our ability to retain existing customers and attract new business is dependent on many factors, including our ability to demonstrate that we can reliably and safely operate our business in a manner that is consistent with applicable laws, rules and permits, which legal requirements are subject to change. Existing and potential customers consider the safety record of their third-party service providers to be of high importance in their decision to engage such providers. If one or more accidents were to occur at one of our operating sites, the affected customer may seek to terminate or cancel its use of our equipment or services and may be less likely to continue to use our services, which could cause us to lose substantial revenues. Furthermore, our ability to attract new customers may be impaired if they view our safety record as unacceptable. In addition, it is possible that we will experience multiple or particularly severe accidents in the future, causing our safety record to deteriorate. This may be more likely as we continue to grow, if we experience high employee turnover or labor shortage, or hire inexperienced personnel to bolster our staffing needs.

Climate change legislation and regulations restricting or regulating emissions of greenhouse gases could result in increased operating and capital costs and reduced demand for our services.

        Climate change continues to attract considerable public and scientific attention. As a result, certain requirements have been enacted, and numerous proposals are likely to continue to be made at the international, national, regional and state levels of government to monitor and limit emissions of greenhouse gases ("GHGs"). These efforts have included cap-and-trade programs, carbon taxes, GHG reporting and tracking programs and regulations that directly limit GHG emissions from certain sources.

34


Table of Contents

        At the federal level, no comprehensive climate change legislation has been implemented to date. The EPA has, however, adopted rules under authority of the federal Clean Air Act that, among other things, establish Potential for Significant Deterioration ("PSD") construction and Title V operating permit reviews for GHG emissions from certain large stationary sources that are also major sources of certain principal, or criteria, pollutant emissions, which reviews could require securing PSD permits at covered facilities emitting GHGs and meeting "best available control technology" standards for those GHG emissions. In addition, the EPA has adopted rules requiring the monitoring and annual reporting of GHG emissions from certain petroleum and natural gas system sources in the United States, including, among others, onshore and offshore production facilities, which include certain of our customers' operations. In October 2015, the EPA amended and expanded the GHG reporting requirements to all segments of the oil and natural gas industry, including gathering and boosting facilities as well as completions and workovers from hydraulically fractured oil wells, and in January 2016, the EPA proposed additional revisions to leak detection methodology to align the reporting rules with the new source performance standards.

        Federal agencies also have begun directly regulating emissions of methane, a GHG, from oil and natural gas operations. In June 2016, the EPA published NSPS, known as Subpart Quad OOOOa, that require certain new, modified or reconstructed facilities in the oil and natural gas sector to reduce methane gas and VOC emissions. In April 2017, the EPA announced that it will review Subpart Quad OOOOa and will initiate reconsideration proceedings to potentially revise or rescind portions of the rule. In addition, the EPA has issued a stay of the June 3, 2017 compliance date applicable to fugitive emissions monitoring requirements for 90 days.

        At the international level, the United States joined the international community at the 21st Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris, France that requires member countries to review and "represent a progression" in their intended nationally determined contributions, which set GHG emission reduction goals every five years beginning in 2020. The Paris Agreement entered into force in November 2016 and the United States is one of over 100 nations that indicated an intent to comply with the agreement. Although this agreement does not create any binding obligations for nations to limit their GHG emissions, it does include pledges to voluntarily limit or reduce future emissions.

        The adoption and implementation of any international, federal or state legislation or regulations that require reporting of GHGs or otherwise restrict emissions of GHGs could result in increased compliance costs or additional operating restrictions, and could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects, results of operations, demand for our services and cash flows.

The Endangered Species Act and Migratory Bird Treaty Act and other restrictions intended to protect certain species of wildlife govern our and our customers' operations and additional restrictions may be imposed in the future, which constraints could have an adverse impact on our ability to expand some of our existing operations or limit our customers' ability to develop new oil and natural gas wells.

        Oil and natural gas operations in our operating areas can be adversely affected by seasonal or permanent restrictions on drilling activities designed to protect various wildlife, which may limit our ability to operate in protected areas. Permanent restrictions imposed to protect endangered species could prohibit drilling in certain areas or require the implementation of expensive mitigation measures.

        For example, the Endangered Species Act (the "ESA") restricts activities that may affect endangered or threatened species or their habitats and provides for substantial penalties in cases where covered species are killed or injured. Similar protections are offered to migratory birds under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act (the "MBTA"). To the extent species that are listed under the ESA or similar state laws, or are protected under the MBTA, or the designation of previously unprotected

35


Table of Contents

species as threatened or endangered in areas where we or our customers operate could cause us or our customers to incur increased costs arising from species protection measures and could result in delays or limitations in our or our customers' performance of operations, which could adversely affect or reduce demand for our services.

We rely on a few key employees whose absence or loss could adversely affect our business.

        Many key responsibilities within our business have been assigned to a small number of employees. The loss of their services could adversely affect our business. In particular, the loss of the services of one or more members of our executive team, including our President and Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, could disrupt our operations. We do not maintain "key person" life insurance policies on any of our employees. As a result, we are not insured against any losses resulting from the death of our key employees.

We may be subject to claims for personal injury and property damage, which could materially adversely affect our financial condition, prospects and results of operations.

        Our services are subject to inherent risks that can cause personal injury or loss of life, damage to or destruction of property, equipment or the environment or the suspension of our operations. Litigation arising from operations where our services are provided may cause us to be named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting potentially large claims including claims for exemplary damages. We maintain what we believe is customary and reasonable insurance to protect our business against these potential losses, but such insurance may not be adequate to cover our liabilities, and we are not fully insured against all risks.

        In addition, and subject to certain exceptions, our customers typically assume responsibility for, including control and removal of, all other pollution or contamination which may occur during operations, including that which may result from seepage or any other uncontrolled flow of drilling and completion fluids. We may have liability in such cases if we are negligent or commit willful acts. Our customers generally agree to indemnify us against claims arising from their employees' personal injury or death to the extent that, in the case of our operations, their employees are injured or their properties are damaged by such operations, unless resulting from our gross negligence or willful misconduct. Our customers also generally agree to indemnify us for loss or destruction of customer-owned property or equipment. In turn, we agree to indemnify our customers for loss or destruction of property or equipment we own and for liabilities arising from personal injury to or death of any of our employees, unless resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct of the customer. However, we might not succeed in enforcing such contractual allocation or might incur an unforeseen liability falling outside the scope of such allocation. As a result, we may incur substantial losses which could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operation.

Anti-indemnity provisions enacted by many states may restrict or prohibit a party's indemnification of us.

        We typically enter into agreements with our customers governing the provision of our services, which usually include certain indemnification provisions for losses resulting from operations. Such agreements may require each party to indemnify the other against certain claims regardless of the negligence or other fault of the indemnified party; however, many states place limitations on contractual indemnity agreements, particularly agreements that indemnify a party against the consequences of its own negligence. Furthermore, certain states, including Texas and Wyoming, have enacted statutes generally referred to as "oilfield anti-indemnity acts" expressly prohibiting certain indemnity agreements contained in or related to oilfield services agreements. Such anti-indemnity acts may restrict or void a party's indemnification of us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations.

Seasonal weather conditions and natural disasters could severely disrupt normal operations and harm our business.

        Our operations are located in different regions of the United States. Some of these areas, including the Denver-Julesburg Basin and the Bakken Shale, are adversely affected by seasonal weather conditions, primarily in the winter and spring. During periods of heavy snow, ice, wind or rain, we may be unable to move our equipment between locations, thereby reducing our ability to provide services and generate revenues, or we could suffer weather-related damage to our facilities and equipment, resulting in delays in operations. The exploration activities of our customers may also be affected during such periods of adverse weather conditions. Additionally, extended drought conditions in our operating regions could impact our ability or our customers' ability to source sufficient water or increase the cost for such water. As a result, a natural disaster or inclement weather conditions could severely disrupt the normal operation of our business and adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

        In addition, some scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of GHGs in the atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other climate events that could have an adverse effect on our operations and the operations of our customers.

If we are unable to fully protect our intellectual property rights, or if any disputes regarding intellectual property rights arise with third parties, we may suffer a loss in our competitive advantage or market share.

        We do not have patents or patent applications relating to many of our key processes and technology. If we are not able to maintain the confidentiality of our trade secrets, or if our competitors are able to replicate our technology or services, our competitive advantage would be diminished. We cannot assure you we will be able to prevent our competitors from employing comparable technologies or processes.

        In addition, third parties from time to time may initiate litigation against us by asserting that the conduct of our business infringes, misappropriates or otherwise violates intellectual property rights. If we are sued for infringement and lose, we could be required to pay substantial damages and/or be enjoined from using or selling the infringing products or technology. Any legal proceeding concerning intellectual property could be protracted and costly regardless of the merits of any claim and is inherently unpredictable and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, regardless of its outcome.

        Additionally, we currently license certain third party intellectual property in connection with our business, and the loss of any such license could adversely impact our financial condition and results of operations.

We may be subject to interruptions or failures in our information technology systems.

        We rely on sophisticated information technology systems and infrastructure to support our business, including process control technology. Any of these systems may be susceptible to outages due to fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, usage errors by employees, computer viruses, cyber-attacks or other security breaches, or similar events. The failure of any of our information technology systems may cause disruptions in our operations, which could adversely affect our revenues and profitability.

We are subject to cyber security risks. A cyber incident could occur and result in information theft, data corruption, operational disruption and/or financial loss.

        The oil and natural gas industry has become increasingly dependent on digital technologies to conduct certain processing activities. For example, we depend on digital technologies to perform many of our services and to process and record financial and operating data. At the same time, cyber incidents, including deliberate attacks, have increased. The U.S. government has issued public warnings that indicate that energy assets might be specific targets of cyber security threats. Our technologies, systems and networks, and those of our vendors, suppliers and other business partners, may become the target of cyberattacks or information security breaches that could result in the unauthorized release, gathering, monitoring, misuse, loss or destruction of proprietary and other information, or other disruption of business operations. In addition, certain cyber incidents, such as surveillance, may remain undetected for an extended period. Our systems and insurance coverage for protecting against cyber security risks may not be sufficient. As the sophistication of cyber incidents continues to evolve, we will likely be required to expend additional resources to continue to modify or enhance our protective measures or to investigate and remediate any vulnerability to cyber incidents. Our insurance coverage for cyberattacks may not be sufficient to cover all the losses we may experience as a result of such cyberattacks.

A terrorist attack or armed conflict could harm our business.

        The occurrence or threat of terrorist attacks in the United States or other countries, anti-terrorist efforts and other armed conflicts involving the United States or other countries, including continued hostilities in the Middle East, may adversely affect the United States and global economies and could prevent us from meeting our financial and other obligations. If any of these events occur, the resulting political instability and societal disruption could reduce overall demand for oil and natural gas, potentially putting downward pressure on demand for our services and causing a reduction in our revenues. Oil and natural gas-related facilities could be direct targets of terrorist attacks, and our operations could be adversely impacted if infrastructure integral to our customers' operations is destroyed or damaged. Costs for insurance and other security may increase as a result of these threats, and some insurance coverage may become more difficult to obtain, if available at all.

We may record losses or impairment charges related to idle assets or assets that we sell.

        Prolonged periods of low utilization, changes in technology or the sale of assets below their carrying value may cause us to experience losses in our results of operations. These events could result in the recognition of impairment charges that negatively impact our financial results. Significant impairment charges as a result of a decline in market conditions or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in future periods.


Risks Related to this Offering and Our Class A Common Stock

The requirements of being a public company, including compliance with the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and the requirements of Sarbanes-Oxley, may strain our resources, increase our costs and distract management, and we may be unable to comply with these requirements in a timely or cost-effective manner.

        As a public company, we will need to comply with laws, regulations and requirements that are new to us, certain corporate governance provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley, related regulations of the SEC and the requirements of the NYSE, with which we are not required to comply as a private company. Complying with these statutes, regulations and requirements will occupy a significant amount of time of

38


Table of Contents

our board of directors and management and will significantly increase our costs and expenses. We will need to:

    institute a more comprehensive compliance function;

    comply with rules promulgated by the NYSE;

    continue to prepare and distribute periodic public reports in compliance with our obligations under the federal securities laws;

    establish new internal policies, such as those relating to insider trading; and

    involve and retain to a greater degree outside counsel and accountants in the above activities.

        Furthermore, while we generally must comply with Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley for our fiscal year ending December 31, 2018, we are not required to have our independent registered public accounting firm attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls until our first annual report subsequent to our ceasing to be an "emerging growth company" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act. Accordingly, we may not be required to have our independent registered public accounting firm attest to the effectiveness of our internal controls until as late as our annual report for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. Once it is required to do so, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our controls are documented, designed, operated or reviewed. Compliance with these requirements may strain our resources, increase our costs and distract management, and we may be unable to comply with these requirements in a timely or cost-effective manner.

        In addition, we expect that being a public company subject to these rules and regulations may make it more difficult and more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage or incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As a result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers. We are currently evaluating these rules, and we cannot predict or estimate the amount of additional costs we may incur or the timing of such costs.

We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and may identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, which may result in material misstatements of our financial statements or cause us to fail to meet our periodic reporting obligations.

        As a public company, we will be required to maintain internal control over financial reporting and to report any material weaknesses in those internal controls, subject to any exemptions that we avail ourselves to under the JOBS Act. For example, we will be required to perform system and process evaluation and testing of our internal control over financial reporting to allow management to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley. We are in the process of designing, implementing, and testing internal control over financial reporting required to comply with this obligation.

        We and our independent auditors have identified material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness related to the lack of sufficient qualified accounting personnel, which led to the incorrect application of generally accepted accounting principles, ineffective controls over accounting for non-routine and/or complex transactions, and ineffective controls over the financial statement close and reporting processes.

        Our failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in errors in our financial statements that could result in a restatement of our financial statements and cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our Class A common stock.

The initial public offering price of our Class A common stock may not be indicative of the market price of our Class A common stock after this offering. In addition, an active, liquid and orderly trading market for our Class A common stock may not develop or be maintained, and our stock price may be volatile.

        Prior to this offering, our Class A common stock was not traded on any market. An active, liquid and orderly trading market for our Class A common stock may not develop or be maintained after this offering. Active, liquid and orderly trading markets usually result in less price volatility and more efficiency in carrying out investors' purchase and sale orders. The market price of our Class A common stock could vary significantly as a result of a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control. In the event of a drop in the market price of our Class A common stock, you could lose a substantial part or all of your investment in our Class A common stock. The initial public offering price will be negotiated between us, the selling shareholders and representatives of the underwriters, based on numerous factors that we discuss in "Underwriting," and may not be indicative of the market price of our Class A common stock after this offering. Consequently, you may not be able to sell shares of our Class A common stock at prices equal to or greater than the price paid by you in this offering.

        The following factors could affect our stock price:

    quarterly variations in our financial and operating results;

    the public reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC;

    strategic actions by our competitors;

    changes in revenues or earnings estimates, or changes in recommendations or withdrawal of research coverage, by equity research analysts;

    speculation in the press or investment community;

    the failure of research analysts to cover our Class A common stock;

    sales of our Class A common stock by us or other shareholders, or the perception that such sales may occur;

    equity capital markets transactions by other oilfield services companies, including by way of initial public offerings;

    changes in accounting principles, policies, guidance, interpretations or standards;

    additions or departures of key management personnel;

    actions by our shareholders;

    general market conditions, including fluctuations in commodity prices;

    changes in, or investors' perception of, the oil and natural gas industry;

    litigation involving us, our industry, or both;

    domestic and international economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance; and

    the realization of any risks described under this "Risk Factors" section.

        The stock markets in general have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock. Securities class action litigation has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the overall market and in the market price of a company's securities. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in very substantial costs, divert our management's attention and resources and harm our business, operating results and financial condition.

CSL has the ability to direct the voting of a majority of our voting stock, and their interests may conflict with those of our other shareholders.

        Upon completion of this offering, the Existing Owners will initially own approximately        % of our voting stock (or approximately         % if the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full). CSL holds a majority of the voting interests in each of the Existing Owners. As a result, CSL will be able to control matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors, changes to our organizational documents and significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership makes it unlikely that any other holder or group of holders of our Class A common stock will be able to affect the way we are managed or the direction of our business. The interests of CSL with respect to matters potentially or actually involving or affecting us, such as future acquisitions, financings and other corporate opportunities and attempts to acquire us, may conflict with the interests of our other shareholders.

        For example, CSL may have different tax positions from us, especially in light of the Tax Receivable Agreement, that could influence its decisions regarding whether and when to support the disposition of assets, the incurrence or refinancing of new or existing indebtedness, or the termination of the Tax Receivable Agreement and the acceleration of our obligations thereunder. In addition, the determination of future tax reporting positions, the structuring of future transactions and the handling of any challenge by any taxing authority to our tax reporting positions may take into consideration CSL tax or other considerations that may differ from the considerations of us or our other shareholders. Please see "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Tax Receivable Agreement."

        Given this concentrated ownership, CSL would have to approve any potential acquisition of us. The existence of a significant shareholder may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers, delaying or preventing changes in control or changes in management, or limiting the ability of our other shareholders to approve transactions that they may deem to be in the best interests of our company. Moreover, CSL's concentration of stock ownership may adversely affect the trading price of our Class A common stock to the extent investors perceive a disadvantage in owning stock of a company with a significant shareholder.

Certain of our executive officers and directors have significant duties with, and spend significant time serving, entities that may compete with us in seeking acquisitions and business opportunities and, accordingly, may have conflicts of interest in allocating time or pursuing business opportunities.

        Certain of our executive officers and directors, who are responsible for managing the direction of our operations, hold positions of responsibility with other entities (including affiliated entities) that are in the oil and natural gas industry. These executive officers and directors may become aware of business opportunities that may be appropriate for presentation to us as well as to the other entities with which they are or may become affiliated. Due to these existing and potential future affiliations, these individuals may present potential business opportunities to other entities prior to presenting them to us, which could cause additional conflicts of interest. They may also decide that certain opportunities are more appropriate for other entities with which they are affiliated, and as a result, they may elect not to present those opportunities to us. These conflicts may not be resolved in our favor. For

41


Table of Contents

additional discussion of our management's business affiliations and the potential conflicts of interest of which our shareholders should be aware, see "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions."

CSL and its respective affiliates are not limited in their ability to compete with us, and the corporate opportunity provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation could enable CSL to benefit from corporate opportunities that might otherwise be available to us.

        Our governing documents will provide that CSL and its respective affiliates (including portfolio investments of CSL and its affiliates) are not restricted from owning assets or engaging in businesses that compete directly or indirectly with us. In particular, subject to the limitations of applicable law, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will, among other things:

    permit CSL and its respective affiliates to conduct business that competes with us and to make investments in any kind of property in which we may make investments; and

    provide that if CSL or its respective affiliates, or any employee, partner, member, manager, officer or director of CSL or its respective affiliates who is also one of our directors or officers, becomes aware of a potential business opportunity, transaction or other matter, they will have no duty to communicate or offer that opportunity to us.

        CSL or its respective affiliates may become aware, from time to time, of certain business opportunities (such as acquisition opportunities) and may direct such opportunities to other businesses in which they have invested, in which case we may not become aware of or otherwise have the ability to pursue such opportunity. Furthermore, such businesses may choose to compete with us for these opportunities, possibly causing these opportunities to not be available to us or causing them to be more expensive for us to pursue. In addition, CSL and its respective affiliates may dispose of equipment or other assets in the future, without any obligation to offer us the opportunity to purchase any of those assets. As a result, our renouncing our interest and expectancy in any business opportunity that may be from time to time presented to CSL and its respective affiliates could adversely impact our business or prospects if attractive business opportunities are procured by such parties for their own benefit rather than for ours.

A significant reduction by CSL of its ownership interests in us could adversely affect us.

        We believe that CSL's ownership interest in us provides it with an economic incentive to assist us to be successful. Upon the expiration or earlier waiver of the lock-up restrictions on transfers or sales of our securities following the completion of this offering, CSL will not be subject to any obligation to maintain its ownership interest in us and may elect at any time thereafter to sell all or a substantial portion of or otherwise reduce its ownership interest in us. If CSL sells all or a substantial portion of its ownership interest in us, it may have less incentive to assist in our success and its affiliate(s) that are expected to serve as members of our board of directors may resign. Such actions could adversely affect our ability to successfully implement our business strategies which could adversely affect our cash flows or results of operations.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws, as well as Delaware law, will contain provisions that could discourage acquisition bids or merger proposals, which may adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock and could deprive our investors of the opportunity to receive a premium for their shares.

        Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will authorize our board of directors to issue preferred stock without shareholder approval in one or more series, designate the number of shares constituting any series, and fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, redemption price or prices and liquidation preferences of such series. If our board of directors elects to issue preferred stock, it could

42


Table of Contents

be more difficult for a third party to acquire us. In addition, some provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us, even if the change of control would be beneficial to our shareholders. These provisions include:

    after CSL and its affiliates no longer collectively hold more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock, dividing our board of directors into three classes of directors, with each class serving staggered three-year terms;

    after CSL and its affiliates no longer collectively hold more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock, providing that all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law or, if applicable, the rights of holders of a series of preferred stock, only be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum (prior to such time, vacancies may also be filled by shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote);

    after CSL and its affiliates no longer collectively hold more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock, permitting any action by shareholders to be taken only at an annual meeting or special meeting rather than by a written consent of the shareholders, subject to the rights of any series of preferred stock with respect to such rights;

    after CSL and its affiliates no longer collectively hold more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock, permitting special meetings of our shareholders to be called only by our board of directors pursuant to a resolution adopted by the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of authorized directors whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships (prior to such time, a special meeting may also be called at the request of shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote);

    after CSL and its affiliates no longer collectively hold more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock, requiring the affirmative vote of the holders of at least        % in voting power of all then outstanding common stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, to remove any or all of the directors from office at any time, and directors will be removable only for "cause";

    prohibiting cumulative voting in the election of directors;

    establishing advance notice provisions for shareholder proposals and nominations for elections to the board of directors to be acted upon at meetings of shareholders; and

    providing that the board of directors is expressly authorized to adopt, or to alter or repeal our bylaws.

        In addition, certain change of control events have the effect of accelerating the payment due under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which could be substantial and accordingly serve as a deterrent to a potential acquirer of our company. Please see "—Risks Related to Our Corporate Reorganization and Resulting Structure—In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits, if any, we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement."

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will designate the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our shareholders, which could limit our shareholders' ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents.

        Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will, to

43


Table of Contents

the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our shareholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, in each such case subject to such Court of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of, and consented to, the provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation described in the preceding sentence. This choice of forum provision may limit a shareholder's ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it considers more likely to be favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and such persons. Alternatively, if a court were to find these provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, prospects or results of operations.

We may invest or spend the proceeds of this offering in ways with which you may not agree or in ways which may not yield a return.

        A portion of the net proceeds from this offering are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, including funding potential future acquisitions and other capital expenditures. Our management will have considerable discretion in the application of the net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. The net proceeds may be used for corporate purposes that do not increase our operating results or market value. Until the net proceeds are used, they may be placed in investments that do not produce significant income or that may lose value.

Investors in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution of $            per share.

        Based on an assumed initial public offering price of $            per share (the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus), purchasers of our Class A common stock in this offering will experience an immediate and substantial dilution of $            per share in the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of Class A common stock from the initial public offering price, and our as adjusted net tangible book value as of March 31, 2017 after giving effect to this offering would be $            per share. This dilution is due in large part to earlier investors having paid substantially less than the initial public offering price when they purchased their shares. See "Dilution."

We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our Class A common stock, and our Credit Facility will place certain restrictions on our ability to do so. Consequently, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment is if the price of our Class A common stock appreciates.

        We do not plan to declare cash dividends on shares of our Class A common stock in the foreseeable future. Additionally, our Credit Facility will place certain restrictions on our ability to pay cash dividends. Consequently, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment in us will be if you sell your Class A common stock at a price greater than you paid for it. There is no guarantee that the price of our Class A common stock that will prevail in the market will ever exceed the price that you pay in this offering.

44


Table of Contents

Future sales of our Class A common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales may occur, could reduce our stock price, and any additional capital raised by us through the sale of equity or convertible securities may dilute your ownership in us.

        We may sell additional shares of Class A common stock or securities convertible into Class A common stock in subsequent public offerings. After the completion of this offering, we will have outstanding shares of Class A common stock. This number includes            shares that we are selling in this offering and             shares that we may sell in this offering if the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares is fully exercised, which may be resold immediately in the public market. Following the completion of this offering, certain of the Existing Owners will own            shares of our Class B common stock, or, assuming full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares, approximately        % of our total outstanding shares. The Existing Owners will be party to a registration rights agreement, which will require us to effect the registration of any shares of Class A common stock held by an Existing Owner or that an Existing Owner receives upon redemption of its shares of Class B common stock in certain circumstances no earlier than the expiration of the lock-up period contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with this offering.

        In connection with this offering, we intend to file a registration statement with the SEC on Form S-8 providing for the registration of            shares of our Class A common stock issued or reserved for issuance under our long term incentive plan. Subject to the satisfaction of vesting conditions, the expiration of lock-up agreements and the requirements of Rule 144, shares registered under the registration statement on Form S-8 may be made available for resale immediately in the public market without restriction.

        We cannot predict the size of future issuances of our Class A common stock or securities convertible into Class A common stock or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of shares of our Class A common stock will have on the market price of our Class A common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our Class A common stock (including shares issued in connection with an acquisition), or the perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Class A common stock.

The underwriters of this offering may waive or release parties to the lock-up agreements entered into in connection with this offering, which could adversely affect the price of our Class A common stock.

        We, all of our directors and executive officers and the selling shareholders have entered or will enter into lock-up agreements pursuant to which we and they will be subject to certain restrictions with respect to the sale or other disposition of our Class A common stock or securities convertible into Class A common stock for a period of 180 days following the date of this prospectus. The underwriters, at any time and without notice, may release all or any portion of the Class A common stock subject to the foregoing lock-up agreements. See "Underwriting" for more information on these agreements. If the restrictions under the lock-up agreements are waived, then the Class A common stock, subject to compliance with the Securities Act or exceptions therefrom, will be available for sale into the public markets, which could cause the market price of our Class A common stock to decline and impair our ability to raise capital.

We may issue preferred stock, the terms of which could adversely affect the voting power or value of our Class A common stock.

        Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will authorize us to issue, without the approval of our shareholders, one or more classes or series of preferred stock having such designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights, including preferences over our Class A common stock respecting dividends and distributions, as our board of directors may determine. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred stock could adversely impact the voting power or value of our

45


Table of Contents

Class A common stock. For example, we might grant holders of preferred stock the right to elect some number of our directors in all events or on the happening of specified events or the right to veto specified transactions. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or liquidation preferences we might assign to holders of preferred stock could affect the residual value of the Class A common stock.

We expect to be a "controlled company" within the meaning of NYSE rules and, as a result, will qualify for and intend to rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements.

        Upon completion of this offering, CSL, through its interests in the Existing Owners, will hold a majority of the voting power of our capital stock. As a result, we expect to be a controlled company within the meaning of NYSE corporate governance standards. Under NYSE rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company is a controlled company and may elect not to comply with certain NYSE corporate governance requirements, including the requirements that:

    a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors as defined under the rules of the NYSE;

    the nominating and governance committee be composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities; and

    the compensation committee be composed entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee's purpose and responsibilities.

        These requirements will not apply to us as long as we remain a controlled company. Following this offering, we intend to utilize some or all of these exemptions. Accordingly, you may not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the corporate governance requirements of the NYSE. See "Management."

For as long as we are an emerging growth company, we will not be required to comply with certain reporting requirements, including those relating to accounting standards and disclosure about our executive compensation, that apply to other public companies.

        We are classified as an "emerging growth company" under the JOBS Act. For as long as we are an emerging growth company, which may be up to five full fiscal years, unlike other public companies, we will not be required to, among other things: (i) provide an auditor's attestation report on management's assessment of the effectiveness of our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404(b) of Sarbanes-Oxley; (ii) comply with any new requirements adopted by the PCAOB requiring mandatory audit firm rotation or a supplement to the auditor's report in which the auditor would be required to provide additional information about the audit and the financial statements of the issuer; (iii) provide certain disclosures regarding executive compensation required of larger public companies; or (iv) hold nonbinding advisory votes on executive compensation. We will remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, although we will lose that status sooner if we have more than $1.07 billion of revenues in a fiscal year, have more than $700.0 million in market value of our Class A common stock held by non-affiliates, or issue more than $1.0 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period.

        To the extent that we rely on any of the exemptions available to emerging growth companies, you will receive less information about our executive compensation and internal control over financial reporting than issuers that are not emerging growth companies. If some investors find our Class A common stock to be less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our Class A common stock and our stock price may be more volatile.

Table of Contents

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our Class A common stock or if our operating results do not meet their expectations, our stock price could decline.

        The trading market for our Class A common stock will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. Moreover, if one or more of the analysts who cover our company adversely changes his or her recommendation with respect to our Class A common stock or if our operating results do not meet their expectations, our stock price could decline.


Risks Related to Our Corporate Reorganization and Resulting Structure

We are a holding company. Our sole material asset after completion of this offering will be our equity interest in Ranger LLC and we will be accordingly dependent upon distributions from Ranger LLC to pay taxes, make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and cover our corporate and other overhead expenses.

        We are a holding company and will have no material assets other than our equity interest in Ranger LLC. Please see "Corporate Reorganization." We will have no independent means of generating revenues. To the extent Ranger LLC has available cash, we intend to cause Ranger LLC to make (i) generally pro rata distributions to its unit holders, including us, in an amount at least sufficient to allow us to pay our taxes and to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement we will enter into with the TRA Holders and any subsequent tax receivable agreements that we may enter into in connection with future acquisitions and (ii) non-pro rata payments to us in an amount at least sufficient to reimburse us for our corporate and other overhead expenses. We will be limited, however, in our ability to cause Ranger LLC and its subsidiaries to make these and other distributions or payments to us due to certain limitations, including restrictions under our Credit Facility and the cash requirements and financial condition of Ranger LLC. To the extent that we need funds and Ranger LLC or its subsidiaries are restricted from making such distributions or payments under applicable laws or regulations or under the terms of any future financing arrangements, or are otherwise unable to provide such funds, our liquidity and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

        Moreover, because we will have no independent means of generating revenue, our ability to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement is dependent on the ability of Ranger LLC to make distributions to us in an amount sufficient to cover our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement. This ability, in turn, may depend on the ability of Ranger LLC's subsidiaries to make distributions to it. The ability of Ranger LLC, its subsidiaries and other entities in which it directly or indirectly holds an equity interest to make such distributions will be subject to, among other things, (i) the applicable provisions of Delaware law (or other applicable jurisdiction) that may limit the amount of funds available for distribution and (ii) restrictions in relevant debt instruments entered into by Ranger LLC or its subsidiaries and/other entities in which it directly or indirectly holds an equity interest. To the extent that we are unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, such payments will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid.

We will be required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for certain tax benefits that we may claim, and the amounts of such payments could be significant.

        In connection with the closing of this offering, we will enter into a Tax Receivable Agreement with the TRA Holders. This agreement will generally provide for the payment by us to each TRA Holder of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income and franchise tax that we actually realize (computed using the estimated impact of state and local taxes) or are deemed to realize

47


Table of Contents

in certain circumstances in periods after this offering as a result of certain increases in tax basis and certain benefits attributable to imputed interest. We will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash savings.

        The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will commence upon the completion of this offering and will continue until all tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement have been utilized or expired, unless we exercise our right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement (or the Tax Receivable Agreement is terminated due to other circumstances, including our breach of a material obligation thereunder or certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combination or other changes of control), and we make the termination payments specified in the Tax Receivable Agreement. In addition, payments we make under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be increased by any interest accrued from the due date (without extensions) of the corresponding tax return.

        The payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are our obligations and not obligations of Ranger LLC, and we expect that the payments we will be required to make under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial. Estimating the amount and timing of payments that may become due under the Tax Receivable Agreement is by its nature imprecise. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, cash savings in tax generally are calculated by comparing our actual tax liability (computed using the estimated impact of state and local taxes) to the amount we would have been required to pay had we not been able to utilize any of the tax benefits subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. The actual increase in tax basis, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of the redemptions of Ranger Units, the price of our Class A common stock at the time of each redemption, the extent to which such redemptions are taxable transactions, the amount of the redeeming Ranger Unit Holder's tax basis in its Ranger Units at the time of the relevant redemption, the depreciation and amortization periods that apply to the increase in tax basis, the amount, character and timing of the taxable income we generate in the future, the U.S. federal income tax rates then applicable, and the portion of our payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that constitute imputed interest or give rise to depreciable or amortizable tax basis.

        Our ability to realize the tax benefits that we currently expect to be available as a result of the increases in tax basis created by redemptions and our ability to utilize the interest deductions imputed under the Tax Receivable Agreement depend on a number of assumptions, including that we earn sufficient taxable income each year during the period over which such deductions are available and that there are no adverse changes in applicable law or regulations. If our actual taxable income was insufficient or there were adverse changes in applicable law or regulations, we may be unable to realize all or a portion of these expected benefits and our cash flows could be negatively affected.

        The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will not be conditioned upon a holder of rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement having a continued ownership interest in either Ranger LLC or us. For additional information regarding the Tax Receivable Agreement, see "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Tax Receivable Agreement."

In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits, if any, we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.

        If we elect to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early or it is terminated early due to our breach of a material obligation thereunder or due to certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control, our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement would accelerate and we would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future payments to be made by us under the Tax Receivable Agreement (determined by applying a discount rate equal to one-year London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus            basis points. The calculation of anticipated future payments will be based upon certain assumptions and

48


Table of Contents

deemed events set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement, including (i) the assumption that we have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the tax benefits covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement (including having sufficient taxable income to currently utilize any accumulated net operating loss carryforwards) and (ii) the assumption that any Ranger Units (other than those held by us) outstanding on the termination date are deemed to be redeemed on the termination date. Any early termination payment may be made significantly in advance of the actual realization, if any, of the future tax benefits to which the termination payment relates.

        As a result of either an early termination or a change of control, we could be required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that exceed our actual cash tax savings under the Tax Receivable Agreement. In these situations, our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement could have a substantial negative impact on our liquidity and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain mergers, asset sales or other forms of business combinations or changes of control that could be in the best interests of holders of our Class A common stock. For example, if the Tax Receivable Agreement were terminated immediately after this offering, the present value of the estimated termination payments would, in the aggregate, be approximately $             million (calculated using a discount rate equal to one-year LIBOR plus            basis points, applied against an undiscounted liability of approximately $             million). The foregoing amount is merely an estimate and the actual payment could differ materially. There can be no assurance that we will be able to finance our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

        Please see "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Tax Receivable Agreement."

In the event that our payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are accelerated upon certain mergers, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control, the consideration payable to holders of our Class A common stock could be substantially reduced.

        If we experience a change of control (as defined under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which includes certain mergers, asset sales and other forms of business combinations), we would be obligated to make a substantial, immediate lump-sum payment, and such payment may be significantly in advance of, and may materially exceed, the actual realization, if any, of the future tax benefits to which the payment relates. As a result of this payment obligation, holders of our Class A common stock could receive substantially less consideration in connection with a change of control transaction than they would receive in the absence of such obligation. Further, our payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement will not be conditioned upon the TRA Holders' having a continued interest in us or Ranger LLC. Accordingly, the TRA Holders' interests may conflict with those of the holders of our Class A common stock. Please read "—Risks Related to Our Corporate Reorganization and Resulting Structure—In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits, if any, we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement" and "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Tax Receivable Agreement."

We will not be reimbursed for any payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement in the event that any tax benefits are subsequently disallowed.

        Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be based on the tax reporting positions that we will determine. The TRA Holders will not reimburse us for any payments previously made under the Tax Receivable Agreement if any tax benefits that have given rise to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are subsequently disallowed, except that excess payments made to any TRA Holder will be netted against payments that would otherwise be made to such TRA Holder, if any, after our determination of such excess. As a result, in such circumstances, we could make payments that are greater than our actual cash tax savings, if any, and may not be able to recoup those payments, which could adversely affect our liquidity.

Table of Contents

If Ranger LLC were to become a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we and Ranger LLC might be subject to potentially significant tax inefficiencies, and we would not be able to recover payments previously made by us under the Tax Receivable Agreement even if the corresponding tax benefits were subsequently determined to have been unavailable due to such status.

        We intend to operate such that Ranger LLC does not become a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A "publicly traded partnership" is a partnership, the interests of which are traded on an established securities market or are readily tradable on a secondary market or the substantial equivalent thereof. Under certain circumstances, redemptions of Ranger Units pursuant to a Redemption Right (or our Call Right) or other transfers of Ranger Units could cause Ranger LLC to be treated as a publicly traded partnership. Applicable U.S. Treasury regulations provide for certain safe harbors from treatment as a publicly traded partnership, and we intend to operate such that redemptions or other transfers of Ranger Units qualify for one or more such safe harbors. For example, we intend to limit the number of Ranger Unit Holders, and the Ranger LLC Agreement, which will be entered into in connection with the closing of this offering, will provide for limitations on the ability of Ranger Unit Holders to transfer their Ranger Units and will provide us, as managing member of Ranger LLC, with the right to impose restrictions (in addition to those already in place) on the ability of Ranger Unit Holders to redeem their Ranger Units pursuant to a Redemption Right to the extent we believe it is necessary to ensure that Ranger LLC will continue to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

        If Ranger LLC were to become a publicly traded partnership, significant tax inefficiencies might result for us and for Ranger LLC, including as a result of our inability to file a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return with Ranger LLC. In addition, we may not be able to realize tax benefits covered under the Tax Receivable Agreement, and we would not be able to recover any payments previously made by us under the Tax Receivable Agreement, even if the corresponding tax benefits (including any claimed increase in the tax basis of Ranger LLC's assets) were subsequently determined to have been unavailable.

The sale or redemption of 50% or more of the capital and profits interests of Ranger LLC during any twelve-month period will result in the termination of the Ranger LLC partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, which could result in significant deferral of depreciation deductions allowable in computing our taxable income.

        Ranger LLC will be considered to have terminated its partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes if there is a sale or redemption of 50% or more of the total interests in its capital and profits within a twelve-month period. For purposes of determining whether the 50% threshold has been met, multiple sales of the same interest will be counted only once. Among other consequences, the termination of Ranger LLC for U.S. federal income tax purposes could result in a significant deferral of depreciation deductions allowable in computing Ranger LLC's taxable income, including the taxable income of Ranger LLC that is allocable to us. The termination of Ranger LLC would not affect its classification as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, but it would result in its being treated as a new partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes following the termination.

USE OF PROCEEDS

        We expect to receive net proceeds from this offering of approximately $             million (assuming the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover of this prospectus), after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses of approximately $             million, in the aggregate. We intend to contribute all of the net proceeds received by us in this offering to Ranger LLC in exchange for            Ranger Units. Ranger LLC will use approximately $29.1 million of the net proceeds to fully repay amounts outstanding under the Ranger Line of Credit, the Ranger Note and the Ranger Bridge Loan (including the make-whole premium thereon), and approximately $38.6 million of the net proceeds to acquire high-spec well service rigs, including pursuant to the NOV Purchase Agreement. Ranger LLC will use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including funding potential future acquisitions and other capital expenditures. The following table illustrates our anticipated use of the net proceeds from this offering:

Represents amounts outstanding under the Ranger Line of Credit, Ranger Note and Ranger Bridge Loan (including the make-whole premium thereon), and remaining amounts payable under purchase agreements to acquire high-spec well service rigs, including the NOV Purchase Agreement, as of May 19, 2017.

        As of March 31, 2017, we had $5.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Ranger Line of Credit, which matures in April 2018 and, as of March 31, 2017, bore interest at 4.28%, $5.8 million of outstanding borrowings under the Ranger Note, which is payable in equal monthly installments through May 1, 2019, and as of March 31, 2017, bore interest at 4.28%, and $11.1 million outstanding under the Ranger Bridge Loan, which matures in February 2018 unless earlier terminated in connection with an initial public offering and bears interest at 15%. The Ranger Bridge Loan was subsequently increased to $12.1 million on April 5, 2017 and to $14.6 million on May 18, 2017. The outstanding borrowings under the Ranger Line of Credit, the Ranger Note and the Ranger Bridge Loan were incurred to fund capital expenditures (including, in the case of the Ranger Bridge Loan, pursuant to the NOV Purchase Agreement) and for general corporate purposes. In connection with the consummation of this offering and the use of proceeds therefrom, we intend to fully repay and terminate the Ranger Line of Credit, the Ranger Note and the Ranger Bridge Loan and enter into a new credit agreement providing for a $             million Credit Facility. For additional information, please see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Our Debt Agreements."

        A $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $            per share would cause the net proceeds from this offering received by us, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, to increase or decrease, respectively, by

52


Table of Contents

approximately $             million, assuming the number of shares offered by us (as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus) remains the same. If the proceeds increase due to a higher initial public offering price, we would use the additional net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including funding additional potential future acquisitions and other capital expenditures. If the proceeds decrease due to a lower initial public offering price, we would first reduce by a corresponding amount the net proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes, including funding potential future acquisitions and other capital expenditures, then, if necessary, the net proceeds directed to acquire high-spec well service rigs, including pursuant to the NOV Purchase Agreement.

        To the extent the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full or in part, we will contribute the net proceeds we receive therefrom to Ranger LLC in exchange for an additional number of Ranger Units equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock we issue pursuant to the underwriters' option. Ranger LLC will use such net proceeds to purchase from Ranger Holdings and Torrent Holdings an aggregate number of Ranger Units equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock we issue pursuant to the underwriters' option.

        We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of our Class A common stock by the selling shareholders. We will pay all expenses related to this offering, other than underwriting discounts and commissions related to the shares sold by the selling shareholders.

DIVIDEND POLICY

        We do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends to holders of our Class A common stock in the foreseeable future. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the growth of our business. Our future dividend policy is within the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon then-existing conditions, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, investment opportunities, statutory restrictions on our ability to pay dividends and other factors our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, we expect that our Credit Facility will restrict our ability to pay cash dividends to holders of our Class A common stock.

DILUTION

        Purchasers of the Class A common stock in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per share of the Class A common stock for accounting purposes. Our net tangible book value as of March 31, 2017, after giving pro forma effect to the transactions described under "Corporate Reorganization," was approximately $             million, or $            per share of Class A common stock. Pro forma net tangible book value per share is determined by dividing our pro forma tangible net worth (tangible assets less total liabilities) by the total number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock (assuming that 100% of our Class B common stock has been redeemed for Class A common stock) that will be outstanding immediately prior to the closing of this offering including giving effect to our corporate reorganization. After giving effect to the sale of the shares in this offering and further assuming the receipt of the estimated net proceeds (after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses), our adjusted pro forma net tangible book value as of March 31, 2017 would have been approximately $             million, or $            per share. This represents an immediate increase in the net tangible book value of $            per share to the Existing Owners and an immediate dilution (i.e., the difference between the offering price and the adjusted pro forma net tangible book value after this offering) to new investors purchasing shares in this offering of $            per share. The following table illustrates the per share dilution to new investors purchasing shares in this offering (assuming that 100% of our Class B common stock has been redeemed for Class A common stock):

Initial public offering price per share of Class A common stock

                 $

If the initial public offering price were to increase or decrease by $1.00 per share, then dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share to new investors in this offering would equal $            or $            , respectively.

        The following table summarizes, on an adjusted pro forma basis as of March 31, 2017, the total number of shares of Class A common stock owned by the Existing Owners (assuming that 100% of our Class B common stock has been redeemed for Class A common stock) and to be owned by new investors, the total consideration paid, and the average price per share paid by the Existing Owners and to be paid by new investors in this offering at $            , calculated before deduction of estimated underwriting discounts and commissions.

SELECTED HISTORICAL COMBINED CONSOLIDATED AND UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL AND OPERATING DATA

        Ranger Inc. was formed in February 2017 and does not have historical financial results. The following table shows summary historical combined consolidated financial information of our Predecessor and summary unaudited pro forma condensed financial data for the periods and as of the dates indicated. The summary historical combined consolidated financial information at December 31, 2015 and 2016, and for the years then ended, was derived from the historical audited combined consolidated financial statements of our Predecessor included elsewhere in this prospectus. The summary historical unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial information at March 31, 2017, and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017, was derived from the historical unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial statements of our Predecessor included elsewhere in this prospectus.

        The summary unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 has been prepared to give pro forma effect to (i) the acquisitions of Magna and Bayou, (ii) the transactions described under "Corporate Reorganization" and (iii) this offering and the use of proceeds therefrom, as if each had been completed as of January 1, 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before interest expense, net, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, acquisition-related and severance costs, impairment of goodwill and certain other items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure because it allows for an effective evaluation of our operating performance when compared to our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net loss in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net loss determined in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our results will be unaffected by the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the "Prospectus Summary—Summary Historical Combined Consolidated and Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial and Operating Data," "Selected Historical Combined Consolidated and Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial and Operating Data" and the financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains "forward-looking statements" reflecting our current expectations, estimates and assumptions concerning events and financial trends that may affect our future operating results or financial position. Actual results and the timing of events may differ materially from those contained in these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, market prices for oil and natural gas, capital expenditures, economic and competitive conditions, regulatory changes and other uncertainties, as well as those factors discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," all of which are difficult to predict. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed may not occur. We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements.


Overview

        We are one of the largest independent providers of high-spec well service rigs and associated services in the United States, with a focus on technically demanding unconventional horizontal well completion and production operations. We believe that our fleet of 68 well service rigs is among the newest and most advanced in the industry and, based on our historical rig utilization and feedback from our customers, we believe that we are an operator of choice for U.S. onshore E&P companies that require completion and production services at increasing lateral lengths. Our high-spec well service rigs facilitate operations throughout the lifecycle of a well, including (i) well completion support, such as milling out composite plugs used during hydraulic fracturing; (ii) workover, including retrieval and replacement of existing production tubing; (iii) well maintenance, including replacement of downhole artificial lift components; and (iv) decommissioning, such as plugging and abandonment operations. We also provide rental equipment, including well control packages, hydraulic catwalks and other equipment that are often deployed with our well service rigs. In addition, we own and operate a fleet of proprietary, modular natural gas processing equipment that processes rich natural gas streams at the wellhead or central gathering points. We have operations in most of the active oil and natural gas basins in the United States, including the Permian Basin, the Denver-Julesburg Basin, the Bakken Shale and the Eagle Ford Shale.


Our Predecessor and Ranger Inc.

        Ranger Inc. was formed on February 17, 2017, and has not and will not conduct any material business operations prior to the transactions described under "Corporate Reorganization," other than certain activities related to this offering. Our Predecessor consists of Ranger Services and Torrent Services on a combined consolidated basis. In connection with the transactions described under "Corporate Reorganization," the Existing Owners will contribute the equity interests in the Predecessor Companies to us in exchange for                shares of our Class A common stock,                Ranger Units and                shares of our Class B common stock.

        Ranger Services was, through Ranger Holdings, formed by CSL in June 2014 as a provider of high-spec well service rigs and associated services. Torrent Services was, through Torrent Holdings, acquired by CSL in September 2014 as a provider of proprietary, modular equipment for the processing of natural gas. In June 2016, CSL indirectly acquired substantially all of the assets of Magna, a provider of well services and wireline services, which it contributed to Ranger Services in September 2016. In October 2016, Ranger Services acquired substantially all of the assets of Bayou, an owner and operator

of high-spec well service rigs. The historical combined consolidated financial information of our Predecessor included in this prospectus presents the historical financial information of the Predecessor Companies, including, as applicable, the results of operations of Magna and Bayou for periods subsequent to their respective acquisitions. The historical combined consolidated financial information of our Predecessor is not indicative of the results that may be expected in any future periods. For more information, please see the historical combined consolidated and unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus.

        We conduct our operations through two segments: Well Services and Processing Solutions. Our Well Services segment has historically consisted of the results of operations of Ranger Services and, as applicable, Magna and Bayou from their respective acquisition dates, while our Processing Solutions segment has historically consisted of the results of operations of Torrent Services. Our Well Services segment provides high-spec well service rigs and complementary equipment and services in the United States, with a focus on technically demanding unconventional horizontal well completion, workover and maintenance operations. These services are fundamental to establishing and maintaining the flow of oil and natural gas throughout the productive life of a well. Our Processing Solutions segment engages in the rental, installation, commissioning, start-up, operation and maintenance of MRUs, NGL stabilizer units, NGL storage units and related equipment. We operate in most of the active oil and natural gas basins in the United States, including the Permian Basin, the Denver-Julesburg Basin, the Bakken Shale and the Eagle Ford Shale. For additional information about our assets and operations, please see "Business."


Industry Trends and Outlook

        We operate our business within the oilfield services industry. Demand for oilfield services is primarily driven by the level of drilling, completion and production activity by E&P companies, which, in turn, depends largely on the current and anticipated profitability of developing oil and natural gas reserves. While overall demand for oilfield services in North America has declined from its highs in late 2014 as a result of the downturn in hydrocarbon prices and the corresponding decline in E&P activity, the industry has witnessed a recent increase in demand from its recent lows for these services as hydrocarbon prices have recovered. This demand should continue to increase if, as we expect, E&P companies continue to increase drilling and completion activities. If hydrocarbon prices remain near current levels or rise further, we expect to see further increased drilling and completion activity in the basins in which we operate. However, our cost of services has also historically risen during periods of increasing hydrocarbon prices. These cost increases result from a variety of factors beyond our control, such as increased demand for labor and services. Such costs may rise faster than increases in our revenue if commodity prices rise, thereby negatively impacting our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations.

        In addition to increased industry activity levels, we expect to benefit from recent increases in the complexity of well completion operations for a significant number of E&P companies, including many of our customers. These industry trends should directly benefit oilfield services companies like us that have the expertise and technological capability to execute increasingly complex well completions and to provide related services and equipment.

        Further, we believe industry contraction and the resulting reduction in oilfield services capacity since late 2014 will benefit us as industry demand increases. Many of our competitors have experienced financial stress, which has led to significant maintenance deferrals and the use of idle equipment for spare parts, significantly increasing the time and cost required for redeployment. In contrast, our recent and planned asset acquisitions and upgrades have positioned us well to benefit from improving market dynamics. Further, during the recent downturn many oilfield service companies significantly reduced their employee headcounts, which will constrain their ability to capitalize on rebounding industry demand, whereas we substantially increased our workforce over the same period.

61


Table of Contents

        In addition, we believe that our Processing Solutions segment will benefit from increased drilling and completion activity in unconventional resource plays. The proprietary, modular equipment that we provide in the Processing Solutions segment generally facilitates, among other things, the processing of rich natural gas streams at the wellhead or central gathering points in basins where drilling and completion activity has outpaced the development of permanent processing infrastructure. E&P companies have increasingly focused on exploiting unconventional resource plays in the onshore United States, many of which had no significant oil or natural gas production until unconventional horizontal drilling and completion technologies were developed over the course of the last decade. We believe that continued development of these unconventional resource plays will increase demand for the assets and services provided by our modular Processing Solutions segment.

        For additional information about industry trends and outlook, please see "Industry."


How We Generate Revenues

        We currently generate revenues through the provision of a variety of oilfield services. These services are performed under a variety of contract structures, including a long term take-or-pay contract and various master service agreements, as supplemented by statements of work, pricing agreements and specific quotes. A portion of our master services agreements include provisions that establish pricing arrangements for a period of up to one year in length. However, the majority of those agreements provide for pricing adjustments based on market conditions. The majority of our services are priced based on prevailing market conditions and changing input costs at the time the services are provided, giving consideration to the specific requirements of the customer.

        We recognize revenue in our Well Services segment when services are performed, collection of the relevant receivables is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the price is fixed or determinable. We price well servicing by the hour or by the day when services are performed. Well servicing is sold without warranty or right of return.

        We recognize revenue in our Processing Solutions segment when services are performed, collection of the relevant receivables is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the price is fixed or determinable. Revenues from equipment leasing, operations and maintenance services are recognized as earned. These services are sold without warranty or right of return.


Costs of Conducting Our Business

        The principal expenses involved in conducting our business are personnel, repairs and maintenance costs, general and administrative, depreciation and amortization and interest expense. We manage the level of our expenses, except depreciation and amortization and interest expense, based on several factors, including industry conditions and expected demand for our services. In addition, a significant portion of the costs we incur in our business is variable based on the quantities of specific services provided and the requirements of such services.

        Direct cost of services and general and administrative include the following major cost categories: personnel costs and equipment costs (including repair and maintenance).

        Personnel costs associated with our operational employees represent a significant cost of our business. We incurred personnel costs of $29.6 million and $10.0 million for 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $12.9 million and $2.7 million for the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively. A substantial portion of our labor costs is attributable to our crews and is partly variable based on the requirements of specific customers and operations. A key component of personnel costs relates to the ongoing training of our employees, which improves safety rates and reduces attrition. We also incur costs to employ personnel to support our services and perform maintenance on our assets. Costs for these employees are not directly tied to our level of business activity.

62


Table of Contents

        We incur significant equipment costs in connection with the operation of our business, including repair and maintenance costs. We incurred aggregate equipment repair and maintenance costs of $5.5 million and $1.5 million for 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $3.1 million and $0.4 million for the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively.


How We Evaluate Our Operations

        Our management intends to use a variety of metrics to analyze our operating results and profitability. These metrics include, among others, the following:

    Revenues;

    Operating Income (Loss); and

    Adjusted EBITDA.

        In addition, within our Well Services segment, our management intends to use additional metrics to analyze our activity levels and profitability. These metrics include, among others, the following:

    Rig Hours; and

    Rig Utilization.

Revenues

        We analyze our revenues by comparing actual revenues to our internal projections for a given period and to prior periods to assess our performance. We believe that revenues are a meaningful indicator of the demand and pricing for our services.

Operating Income (Loss)

        We analyze our operating income (loss), which we define as revenues less cost of services, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairment and other operating expenses, to measure our financial performance. We believe operating income (loss) is a meaningful metric because it provides insight on profitability and true operating performance based on the historical cost basis of our assets. We also compare operating income (loss) to our internal projections for a given period and to prior periods.

Adjusted EBITDA

        We view Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, as an important indicator of performance. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before interest expense, net, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, acquisition-related and severance costs, impairment of goodwill and other non-cash and certain other items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance. See "Prospectus Summary—Summary Historical Combined Consolidated and Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial and Operating Data" and "—Results of Operations—Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measure" for more information and reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss), the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Rig Hours

        Within our Well Services segment, we analyze rig hours as an important indicator of our activity levels and profitability. Rig hours represent the aggregate number of hours that our well service rigs actively worked during the periods presented. We typically bill customers for our well services on an

63


Table of Contents

hourly basis during the period that a well service rig is actively working, making rig hours a useful metric for evaluating our profitability.

Rig Utilization

        Within our Well Services segment, we analyze rig utilization as a further important indicator of our activity levels and profitability. Rig utilization is calculated by dividing (a) the approximate, aggregate operating well service rig hours for the periods presented by (b) the potential aggregate well service rig hours available assuming a 55-hour work week and a mid-month convention whereby a well service rig placed into service during a month, meaning that we have taken delivery of such well service rig and equipped it for operations, is assumed to be operating for one half of such month. We believe that rig utilization is a meaningful indicator of the operational efficiency of our core revenue-producing assets, market demand for our well services and our ability to profitably capitalize on such demand.

        We base our rig utilization calculation on a 55-hour work week per well service rig because we believe it to be consistent with industry standards for our competitors, our typical well service rig contract structure, the operating history of our well service rigs and current and expected market dynamics. However, due to customer demand, potential changes in industry practices, maintenance requirements and other factors, our well service rigs may be operated for more than 55 hours during any given week, though we would expect that over a longer period, the average number of hours our well service rigs would be in operation would not exceed 55 hours per week. If our rig utilization were calculated based on a greater number of rig hours per week, our rig utilization would decrease.

        The primary factors that have historically impacted, and will likely continue to impact, our actual aggregate well service rig hours for any specified period are (i) customer demand, which, as discussed further under "Industry," is influenced by factors such as commodity prices, the complexity of well completion operations and technological advances in our industry, and (ii) our ability to meet such demand, which is influenced by changes in our fleet size and resulting rig availability, as well as weather, employee availability and related factors. The primary factors that have historically impacted, and will likely continue to impact, our potential aggregate well service rig hours for any specified period are the extent and timing of changes in the size of our well service rig fleet to meet short-term and expected long-term demand, and our ability to successfully maintain a fleet capable of ensuring sufficient, but not excess, rig availability to meet such demand.

        For 2015 and 2016, our rig utilization was approximately 78% and 74%, respectively. Actual aggregate operating well service rig hours increased from approximately 22,800 in 2015 to approximately 68,800 in 2016, primarily as a result of our acquisitions of Magna and Bayou, and their associated well service rigs, during 2016. The related decrease in rig utilization resulted from an increase in the average number of well service rigs in our active fleet from ten during 2015 to 32 during 2016, and a corresponding increase in our potential aggregate well service rig hours. Although the size of our well service rig fleet substantially increased during 2016, our rig utilization was slightly lower than in 2015 due to idle well service rigs acquired in the Magna and Bayou acquisitions as well as mobilization and associated downtime of four existing well service rigs during the year. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017, our rig utilization was approximately 74% and 81%, respectively. Actual aggregate operating well service rig hours increased from approximately 8,400 in the three months ended March 31, 2016 to approximately 39,100 in the three months ended March 31, 2017. This increase in rig hours resulted from the average number of our well service rigs in our active fleet increasing from 16 to 67 during such periods, primarily as a result of our acquisitions of Magna and Bayou, and their associated well service rigs, during 2016. The related increase in rig utilization resulted from increased demand in our well service rig business due to WTI crude oil prices increasing from their lows of $26.21 per BBl in the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $50.54 per BBl at the end of March 2017.

Factors Impacting the Comparability of Results of Operations

Magna and Bayou Acquisitions

        Our Predecessor's historical combined consolidated financial statements for 2015 and 2016 and the first quarters of 2016 and 2017 include the results of operations for the Predecessor Companies, with the results of operations for Magna and Bayou only included from their respective acquisition dates during 2016. As a result, our Predecessor's historical financial data do not give you an accurate indication of what our actual results would have been if such acquisitions had been completed at the beginning of the periods presented or of what our future results of operations are likely to be. For additional information, please see the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Public Company Costs

        We expect to incur incremental, non-recurring costs related to our transition to a publicly traded and taxable corporation, including the costs of this initial public offering and the costs associated with the initial implementation of our Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 internal control implementation and testing. We also expect to incur additional significant and recurring expenses as a publicly traded corporation, including costs associated with the employment of additional personnel, compliance under the Exchange Act, annual and quarterly reports to common shareholders, registrar and transfer agent fees, national stock exchange fees, audit fees, incremental director and officer liability insurance costs and director and officer compensation.

Corporate Reorganization

        We were incorporated to serve as the issuer in this offering and have no previous operations, assets or liabilities. Ranger Services and Torrent Services will be contributed to us in connection with this offering in connection with the transactions described under "Corporate Reorganization" and will thereby become our subsidiaries. As we integrate our operations and further implement controls, processes and infrastructure, it is likely that we will incur incremental selling, general and administrative expenses relative to historical periods.

        In addition, we will enter into a Tax Receivable Agreement with the TRA Holders. This agreement generally will provide for the payment by us to a TRA Holder of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax or franchise tax that we actually realize (or are deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after this offering as a result of (i) any tax basis increases resulting from the contribution in connection with this offering by such TRA Holder of all or a portion of its Ranger Units to Ranger Inc. in exchange for shares of Class A common stock, (ii) the tax basis increases resulting from the redemption by such TRA Holder of Ranger Units for shares of Class A common stock pursuant to the Redemption Right or our Call Right and (iii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by us as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, any payments we make under the Tax Receivable Agreement. We will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash savings. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Tax Receivable Agreement."

Income Taxes

        Ranger Inc. is a Subchapter C corporation under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), and, as a result, will be subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. Although the Predecessor Companies are subject to franchise tax in the State of Texas (at less than 1% of modified pre-tax earnings), they have historically passed through their taxable income to their owners for U.S. federal and other state and local income tax purposes and thus were not subject to U.S. federal income taxes or other state or local income taxes. Accordingly, the financial data attributable to our Predecessor contains no provision for U.S. federal income taxes or income taxes in any state or

65


Table of Contents

locality other than franchise tax in the State of Texas. We estimate that Ranger Inc. will be subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes at a blended statutory rate of            % of pre-tax earnings and would have incurred pro forma income tax expense for 2016 and the three months ended March 31, 2017 of approximately $             million and $           million, respectively.

        We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled pursuant to the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 740, Income Taxes. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not to be realized.

Internal Controls and Procedures

        We and our independent auditors identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2016. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness related to the lack of sufficient qualified accounting personnel, which led to the incorrect application of generally accepted accounting principles, ineffective controls over accounting for non-routine and/or complex transactions, and ineffective controls over the financial statement close and reporting processes.

        We are actively seeking to recruit additional finance and accounting personnel, are evaluating our personnel in all key finance and accounting positions and intend to employ additional finance and accounting personnel prior to the completion of this offering. We can give no assurance that these actions will remediate this deficiency in internal control or that additional material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting will not be identified in the future. Our failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in errors in our financial statements that could result in a restatement of our financial statements and cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations.

        We are not currently required to comply with the SEC's rules implementing Section 404 of Sarbanes-Oxley, and are therefore not required in connection with this offering to make a formal assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for that purpose. Upon becoming a public company, we will be required to comply with the SEC's rules implementing Section 302 of Sarbanes-Oxley, which will require our management to certify financial and other information in our quarterly and annual reports. We will be required to provide an annual management report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting beginning with our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2018. We will not be required to have our independent registered public accounting firm attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 until our first annual report subsequent to our ceasing to be an "emerging growth company" within the meaning of Section 2(a)(19) of the Securities Act.

Magna and Bayou represented $21.7 million of the increase. The remaining $2.0 million increase was attributable to "legacy Ranger" (as referred to herein to mean Ranger Services on a historical basis, exclusive of the impact of Magna and Bayou), primarily due to increased demand in our workover rig services, which accounted for $1.5 million, or 75% of the remaining segment increase. The $1.5 million increase in workover rig services included a $1.0 million increase due to an approximate 33% increase in total rig hours for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016, and an increase of $0.5 million due to an approximate 12% increase in the average rig rates for the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measure

        Adjusted EBITDA is not a financial measure determined in accordance with GAAP. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net loss before interest expense, net, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization, equity-based compensation, acquisition-related and severance costs, impairment of goodwill and certain other items that we do not view as indicative of our ongoing performance.

        We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful performance measure because it allows for an effective evaluation of our operating performance when compared to our peers, without regard to our financing methods or capital structure. We exclude the items listed above from net loss in arriving at Adjusted EBITDA because these amounts can vary substantially within our industry depending upon accounting methods and book values of assets, capital structures and the method by which the assets were acquired. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net loss determined in accordance with GAAP. Certain items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA are significant components in understanding and assessing a company's financial performance, such as a company's cost of capital and tax structure, as well as the historic costs of depreciable assets, none of which are reflected in Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an indication that our results will be unaffected by the items excluded from Adjusted EBITDA. Our computations of Adjusted EBITDA may not be identical to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The following table presents reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss, our most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

        Revenues.    Revenues for 2016 increased $31.6 million, or 149%, to $52.8 million from $21.2 million for 2015. The increase in revenues by segment was as follows:

            Well Services.     Well Services revenues for 2016 increased $36.6 million, or 377%, to $46.3 million from $9.7 million for 2015. Magna and Bayou represented $30.6 million of the increase. The remaining $6.0 million increase was attributable to legacy Ranger, primarily due to increased demand in our workover rig services, which accounted for $4.4 million, or 73% of the remaining segment increase. The $4.4 million increase in workover rig services included a $5.5 million increase due to a 62% increase in total rig hours for 2016 compared to 2015, offset by a reduction of $1.1 million due to an 8% decrease in the average rig rates for 2016 compared to 2015.

            Processing Solutions.     Processing Solutions revenues for 2016 decreased $5.0 million, or 43%, to $6.5 million from $11.5 million for 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to a strategic shift by the business to significantly decrease the amount of mobilization and demobilization

    services and a decrease in the compressor rental services as a result of basin revenue mix changes. The mobilization and demobilization and compressor rental services accounted for $0.7 million and $5.6 million for 2016 and 2015, respectively, or 97% of the change in revenue from 2015 to 2016. The strategic shift was in large part due to a change in business focus from the Bakken Basin to the Permian Basin where customers typically rent compressors directly from compressor rental houses.

        Cost of services (excluding depreciation and amortization shown separately).    Cost of services for 2016 increased $23.2 million, or 144%, to $39.3 million from $16.1 million for 2015.

The remaining $4.4 million increase was attributable to legacy Ranger primarily due to an increase in employee costs of $3.1 million, or 70% of the remaining segment increase, and an increase in travel and repair and maintenance costs of $1.1 million, or 25% of the remaining segment increase.

            Processing Solutions.     Processing Solutions cost of services for 2016 decreased $5.3 million, or 67%, to $2.6 million from $7.9 million for 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to $4.0 million related to the strategic shift discussed above and $1.0 million for 2015 costs incurred for a customer that lost its leasehold rights in certain land in the Bakken Shale.

        General & Administrative.    General and administrative expenses for 2016 increased $3.6 million, or 46%, to $11.4 million from $7.8 million for 2015. The increase in general and administrative expenses by segment was as follows:

The remaining $0.4 million increase was attributable to legacy Ranger primarily due to an increase in payroll and professional fees of $0.4 million, a $0.4 million increase in travel, office and insurance costs, offset by a $0.4 million decrease in bad debt expense.

            Processing Solutions.     Processing Solutions general and administrative expenses for 2016 decreased $0.8 million, or 19%, to $3.4 million from $4.2 million for 2015. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $0.6 million decrease in travel and office related expenses, a $0.4 million decrease in payroll and professional fees, offset by a $0.3 million increase in bad debt expense in 2016.

        Depreciation and Amortization.    Depreciation and amortization for 2016 increased $4.5 million, or 214%, to $6.6 million from $2.1 million for 2015. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense by segment was as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

        We require capital to fund ongoing operations, including maintenance expenditures on our existing fleet and equipment, organic growth initiatives, investments and acquisitions. Our primary sources of liquidity have been capital contributions from our owners and commercial borrowings. Following this offering, we expect our primary sources of liquidity to be cash generated from operations, proceeds from this offering and borrowings under our Credit Facility. We strive to maintain financial flexibility and proactively monitor potential capital sources to meet our investment and target liquidity requirements and to permit us to manage the cyclicality associated with our business.

        As described in "Use of Proceeds," we intend to contribute all of the net proceeds we receive from this offering to Ranger LLC in exchange for                    Ranger Units. Ranger LLC will use approximately $29.1 million of the net proceeds to fully repay amounts outstanding under the Ranger Line of Credit, Ranger Note and the Ranger Bridge Loan (including the make-whole premium thereon), and approximately $38.6 million of the net proceeds to acquire high-spec well service rigs, including pursuant to the NOV Purchase Agreement. Ranger LLC will use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including funding potential future acquisitions and other capital expenditures. Please see "Use of Proceeds." We believe that, following completion of this offering, our cash on hand, operating cash flow and available borrowings under our Credit Facility will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.

        As of March 31, 2017, we had an aggregate of $2.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and $1.6 million in restricted cash.

Capital Expenditures

        As a result of poor market conditions and depressed oil and gas prices in the second half of 2015 and the first half of 2016, we reduced our capital expenditures in 2016 compared to 2015. During 2015, our capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, were approximately $18.1 million and $8.7 million in our Well Services and Processing Solutions segments, respectively. During 2016, our capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, were approximately $10.0 million and $2.2 million in our Well Services and Processing Solutions segments, respectively.

        We currently estimate that our capital expenditures for 2017, excluding acquisitions, will be approximately $             million and $             million in our Well Services and Processing Solutions segments, respectively. We continuously evaluate our capital expenditures and the amount we ultimately spend will depend on a number of factors, including expected industry activity levels and company initiatives.

    Operating Activities

        Net cash used in operating activities was $5.2 million for 2016 compared to $5.2 million for 2015. Net operating cash flows stayed consistent due to an increase in depreciation and amortization of $4.5 million, an increase in equity-based compensation of $0.4 million and a reduction in net loss of $1.7 million, offset by a decrease in impairment of goodwill of $1.6 million, a decrease in bad debt expense of $0.1 million, a decrease in the loss on sale of property, plant and equipment of $0.1 million and a decrease associated with changes in working capital of $4.8 million.

    Investing Activities

        Net cash used in investing activities decreased $0.1 million to $25.4 million for 2016 compared to $25.5 million for 2015. The change in investing cash flows is attributable to $16.3 million used in the purchase of businesses in 2016, offset by an increase of $14.8 million for purchases of property, plant and equipment and an increase of $1.6 million from the sale of property, plant and equipment.

    Financing Activities

        Net cash provided by financing activities increased $2.2 million to $31.1 million for 2016, compared to $28.9 million for 2015. The change in cash flows provided by financing activities is attributable to an increase in contributions from CSL of $14.5 million, offset by a decrease of $5.5 million in borrowings of long-term debt, a decrease of payments on third party borrowings of $2.6 million, a $1.0 million decrease in restricted cash, a decrease of principal payments on capital lease obligations of $0.2 million and a decrease of distributions to parent of $3.0 million.

Working Capital

        Our working capital, which we define as total current assets less total current liabilities, totaled $0.3 million and $10.4 million at December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Our working capital totaled a deficit of $17.5 million of March 31, 2017.

Our Debt Agreements

        Ranger Services has a $5.0 million revolving line of credit with Iberia Bank expiring April 30, 2018 (the "Ranger Line of Credit"). As of March 31, 2017, there was $5.0 million borrowed against the Ranger Line of Credit. The Ranger Line of Credit is collateralized by substantially all of Ranger Services' assets. Interest varies with the bank's prime rate and the bank's LIBOR. At March 31, 2017, the interest rate was 4.28%. The Ranger Line of Credit requires Ranger Services to comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants as set forth in the agreement and places limits on new debt and capital expenditures.

        In March 2015, Torrent Services, through certain members of its management team, secured a $0.6 million promissory note with Benchmark Bank, which was replaced in April 2016 with a $0.2 million promissory note (the "Prior Torrent Note"). The Prior Torrent Note was repaid in full on February 28, 2017. The Prior Torrent Note also required Torrent Services to comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants.

        In February 2015 (as amended in March 2016), Torrent Services secured a $2.0 million senior credit facility with Texas Capital Bank consisting of a $2.0 million Advancing Term Loan (as defined in the note agreement) (the "Existing Torrent Note"). As of March 31, 2017, there was $0.5 million outstanding under the Existing Torrent Note. The Existing Torrent Note is secured by substantially all of Torrent Services' assets. Interest varies with the bank's prime rate and the bank's LIBOR and is payable quarterly through the maturity of the Existing Torrent Note. The Existing Torrent Note also

75


Table of Contents

requires Torrent Services to comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants. We intend to repay the Existing Torrent Note in full prior to the commencement of this offering.

        In April 2015, Ranger Services secured a $7.0 million loan from Iberia Bank, which is evidenced by a promissory note (the "Ranger Note"). Interest varies with the bank's prime rate and the bank's LIBOR and is payable in 60 equal monthly installments, which commenced on May 1, 2016. As of March 31, 2017, the interest rate was 4.28%. Installment payments are due through May 1, 2019, and the note is secured by substantially all of Ranger Services' assets. As of March 31, 2017, the outstanding balance was $5.8 million. The Ranger Note also requires Ranger Services to comply with certain financial and non-financial covenants.

        In February 2017, Ranger Services entered into loan agreements (collectively, the "Ranger Bridge Loan") with each of CSL Energy Opportunities Fund II, L.P. ("CSL Opportunities II"), CSL Energy Holdings II, LLC ("CSL Holdings II") and Bayou Well Holdings Company, LLC ("Bayou Holdings" and, together with CSL Opportunities II and CSL Holdings II, the "Bridge Loan Lenders"), each an indirect equity owner of Ranger Services, evidenced by promissory notes payable to each Bridge Loan Lender, in an aggregate principal amount of $11.1 million. In April 2017, additional borrowings from CSL Opportunities II and CSL Holdings II increased the aggregate principal amount of the Ranger Bridge Loan to $12.1 million and in May 2017 to $14.6 million. The Ranger Bridge Loan is secured by substantially all of Ranger Services' assets. Each note bears interest at a rate of 15% and matures upon the earlier of February 21, 2018 or ten days after the consummation of an initial public offering. The Ranger Bridge Loan includes a make-whole provision pursuant to which Ranger Services will pay 125% of the total amount advanced to Ranger Services upon settlement. The Ranger Bridge Loan also requires Ranger Services to comply with certain non-financial covenants.

        As of March 31, 2017, Ranger Services' leverage ratio exceeded the threshold of 1.75 to 1.00 under the Ranger Line of Credit and Ranger Note and Ranger Services did not generate the required minimum net income of zero or greater. Ranger Services was in compliance with all other covenants at that time. On May 17, 2017, Ranger Services obtained a waiver of such non-compliance with respect to the first quarter of 2017 from the lender under the Ranger Line of Credit and Ranger Note. There can be no assurance we will be able to obtain future waivers from the lender under the Ranger Line of Credit and Ranger Note. We have classified the outstanding debt under the Ranger Line of Credit and Ranger Note as current because Ranger Services does not anticipate being in compliance with all covenants and ratios required under the Ranger Line of Credit and Ranger Note in the next twelve months. We have obtained additional commitments from CSL for additional capital through at least March 31, 2018. We plan to repay and retire the Ranger Line of Credit and Ranger Note from the proceeds of this offering.

        In connection with the consummation of this offering, we intend to fully repay and terminate the Ranger Line of Credit, the Ranger Note and the Ranger Bridge Loan and enter into a new credit agreement providing for a $             million Credit Facility. We expect that the Credit Facility will be used for capital expenditures and permitted acquisitions, to provide for working capital requirements and for other general corporate purposes. We further expect that the Credit Facility will be secured by certain of our assets, contain various affirmative and negative covenants and restrictive provisions that will limit our ability (as well as the ability of our subsidiaries) to, among other things:

    incur or guarantee additional debt;

    make certain investments and acquisitions;

    incur certain liens or permit them to exist;

    alter our lines of business;

    enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates;

76


Table of Contents

    merger or consolidate with another company; and

    transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of assets.

        In addition, we expect that the Credit Facility will restrict our ability to make distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, our equity interests, except for distributions of available cash so long as, both at the time of the distribution and after giving effect to the distribution, no default exists under the Credit Facility. Our Credit Facility will also require us to maintain certain financial covenants.

        We also expect that the Credit Facility will contain events of default customary for facilities of this nature, including, but not limited, to:

    events of default resulting from our failure or the failure of any guarantors to comply with covenants and financial ratios;

    the occurrence of a change of control;

    the institution of insolvency or similar proceedings against us or any guarantor; and

    the occurrence of a default under any other material indebtedness we or any guarantor may have.

        Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Facility, we expect that the lenders will be able to declare any outstanding principal of our Credit Facility debt, together with accrued and unpaid interest, to be immediately due and payable and exercise other remedies.

Table of Contents

Agreement, pursuant to which we have acquired 9 high-spec well service rigs as of May 19, 2017 (as a result of which our high-spec well service rig fleet increased to 67 total high-spec well service rigs), and will acquire an additional 27 high-spec well service rigs during the remainder of 2017 for an aggregate purchase price under such agreements of approximately $42.1 million, for which $3.5 million of payments have been made as of May 19, 2017, and the remaining $38.6 million of which will be due during the remainder of 2017 and in 2018.

Tax Receivable Agreement

        With respect to obligations we expect to incur under our Tax Receivable Agreement (except in cases where we elect to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early, the Tax Receivable Agreement is terminated early due to certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combination or other changes of control or we have available cash but fail to make payments when due), generally we may elect to defer payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement if we do not have available cash to satisfy our payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement or if our contractual obligations limit our ability to make these payments. Any such deferred payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement generally will accrue interest. In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits, if any, we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. We intend to account for any amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies. Further, we intend to account for the effect of increases in tax basis and payments for such increases under the Tax Receivable Agreement arising from future redemptions as follows:

    when future sales or redemptions occur, we will record a deferred tax liability for the gross amount of the income tax effect along with an offset of 85% of this liability as payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement; the remaining difference between the deferred tax liability and tax receivable agreement liability will be recorded as additional paid-in capital; and

    to the extent we have recorded a deferred tax asset for an increase in tax basis to which a benefit is no longer expected to be realized due to lower future taxable income, we will reduce the deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance.

        For further discussion regarding such an acceleration and its potential impact, please see "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Corporate Reorganization and Resulting Structure—In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits, if any, we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement." For additional information regarding the Tax Receivable Agreement, see "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Tax Receivable Agreement."


Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

        Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP. In connection with preparing our financial statements, we are required to make assumptions and estimates about future events, and apply judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, expense and the related disclosures. We base our assumptions, estimates and judgments on historical experience, current trends and other factors that management believes to be relevant at the time we prepare our combined consolidated financial statements. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our combined consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ materially from our assumptions and estimates.

        Our significant accounting policies are discussed in our audited historical combined consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. Management believes that the following

78


Table of Contents

accounting estimates are those most critical to fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results, and they require management's most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, resulting from the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Property, Plant and Equipment

    Policy description

        Property, plant 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, with estimated useful lives reviewed by management on an annual basis. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments are capitalized while expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Assets under capital lease obligations and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or their respective estimated useful lives. Depreciation does not begin until property, plant 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.

    Judgments and assumptions

        Accounting for our property, plant and equipment requires us to estimate the expected useful lives of our fleet and any related salvage value. The range of estimated useful lives is based on overall size and specifications of the fleet, expected utilization along with continuous repairs and maintenance that may or may not extend the estimated useful lives. To the extent the expenditures extends the expected useful life, these expenditures are capitalized and depreciated over the extended useful life.

Long-lived Asset Impairment

    Policy description

        We evaluate the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets, including property, plant 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.

    Judgments and assumptions

        Our impairment analysis requires us to apply judgment in identifying impairment indicators and estimating future cash flows of our fleets. If actual results are not consistent with our assumptions and estimates or our assumptions and estimates change due to new information, we may be exposed to an impairment charge. Key assumptions used to determine the undiscounted future cash flows include estimates of future fleet utilization and demands based on our assumptions around future commodity prices and capital expenditures of our customers.

Business Combinations

    Policy description

        We recognize, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured and recognized as the excess of: (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred, the fair value of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition date fair value of our previously held equity interests over

79


Table of Contents

(ii) the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These fair values are accounted for at the date of acquisition and included in the combined consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016. The results of operations of an acquired business is included in the statement of operations from the date of the acquisition.

    Judgments and assumptions

        We estimate fair value based on the assumptions of market participants and not those of the reporting entity. Fair values are determined through the use of a blended market and income approach. Therefore, entity-specific intentions do not impact the measurement of fair value. Changes to these assumptions could change the fair value estimates used in our business combination accounting.

Revenue Recognition

    Policy description

        We generate revenue from multiple sources within our operating segments.

        Well Services—Well Services consists primarily of maintenance services, workover services, completion services and plugging and abandonment services. We recognize revenue when services are performed, collection of the relevant receivables is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the price is fixed or determinable. We price well services by the hour or by the day when services are performed. Well services are sold without warranty or right of return. Taxes assessed on revenue transactions are presented on a net basis and are not included in revenue.

        Processing Solutions—Processing Solutions consists primarily of equipment rentals, operations and maintenance services and mobilization services. We recognize revenue when services are performed, collection of the relevant receivables is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the price is fixed or determinable. Revenues from equipment leasing, operations and maintenance services are recognized as earned. These services are sold without warranty or right of return. Taxes assessed on revenue transactions are presented on a net basis and are not included in revenue.

    Judgments and assumptions

        Recording revenue involves the use of estimates and management judgment. We must make a determination at the time our services are provided whether the customer has the ability to make payments to us. While we do utilize past payment history, and, to the extent available for new customers, public credit information in making our assessment, the determination of whether collectability is reasonably assured is ultimately a judgment decision that must be made by management.

Equity-based Compensation

    Policy description

        We record equity-based payments at fair value on the date of grant, and expense the value of these unit-based payments in compensation expense over the applicable vesting periods. Since we have not historically been publicly traded we do not have a listed price with which to calculate fair value.

    Judgments and assumptions

        We estimate the fair value of our equity-based compensation using an option pricing model that includes certain assumptions, such as volatility, dividend yield and risk free interest rate. Changes in these assumptions could change the fair value of our unit based awards and associated compensation expense in our combined consolidated statements of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        See Note 2, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—New Accounting Pronouncements" to our Predecessor's historical combined consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, included elsewhere in this prospectus, for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

        Under the JOBS Act, we expect that we will meet the definition of an "emerging growth company," which would allow us to have an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act. We have irrevocably opted out of the extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies.


Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risks

        The demand, pricing and terms for oil and natural gas services provided by us are largely dependent upon the level of activity for the U.S. oil and natural gas industry. Industry conditions are influenced by numerous factors over which we have no control, including, but not limited to: the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas; the level of prices, and expectations about future prices of oil and natural gas; the cost of exploring for, developing, producing and delivering oil and natural gas; the expected rates of declining current production; the discovery rates of new oil and natural gas reserves; available pipeline and other transportation capacity; weather conditions; domestic and worldwide economic conditions; political instability in oil-producing countries; environmental regulations; technical advances affecting energy consumption; the price and availability of alternative fuels; the ability of oil and natural gas producers to raise equity capital and debt financing; and merger and divestiture activity among oil and natural gas producers.

Interest Rate Risk

        We had an aggregate of $22.5 million outstanding under the Ranger Line of Credit, the Ranger Note, the Existing Torrent Note and the Ranger Bridge Loan at March 31, 2017, with a weighted average interest rate of 9.65%. A 1.0% increase or decrease in the weighted average interest rate would increase or decrease interest expense by approximately $0.2 million per year. We do not currently hedge our interest rate exposure.

Credit Risk

        The majority of our trade receivables have payment terms of 30 days or less. As of March 31, 2017, the top three trade receivable balances represented 14%, 13% and 10%, respectively, of total accounts receivable. Within our Well Services segment, the top three trade receivable balances represented 15%, 14% and 11%, respectively, of total Well Services accounts receivable. Within our Processing Solutions segment, the top three trade receivable balances represented 32%, 27% and 15%, respectively, of total Processing Solutions accounts receivable. We mitigate the associated credit risk by performing credit evaluations and monitoring the payment patterns of our customers.

Commodity Price Risk

        The market for our services is indirectly exposed to fluctuations in the prices of oil and natural gas to the extent such fluctuations impact the activity levels of our E&P customers. Any prolonged substantial reduction in oil and natural gas prices would likely affect oil and natural gas production levels and therefore affect demand for our services. We do not currently intend to hedge our indirect exposure to commodity price risk.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        We currently have no material off-balance sheet arrangements.

BUSINESS

Our Company

        We are one of the largest independent providers of high-spec well service rigs and associated services in the United States, with a focus on technically demanding unconventional horizontal well completion and production operations. We believe that our fleet of 68 well service rigs is among the newest and most advanced in the industry and, based on our historical rig utilization and feedback from our customers, we believe that we are an operator of choice for U.S. onshore E&P companies that require completion and production services at increasing lateral lengths. Our high-spec well service rigs facilitate operations throughout the lifecycle of a well, including (i) well completion support, such as milling out composite plugs used during hydraulic fracturing; (ii) workover, including retrieval and replacement of existing production tubing; (iii) well maintenance, including replacement of downhole artificial lift components; and (iv) decommissioning, such as plugging and abandonment operations. We also provide rental equipment, including well control packages, hydraulic catwalks and other equipment that are often deployed with our well service rigs. In addition, we own and operate a fleet of proprietary, modular natural gas processing equipment that processes rich natural gas streams at the wellhead or central gathering points. We have operations in most of the active oil and natural gas basins in the United States, including the Permian Basin, the Denver-Julesburg Basin, the Bakken Shale and the Eagle Ford Shale.

        We have invested in a premier fleet of well service rigs. Our customers, which include many of the leading U.S. onshore E&P operators such as EOG Resources, Inc., Noble Energy, Inc., Oasis Petroleum Inc., PDC Energy Inc. and Statoil ASA, are increasingly utilizing modern horizontal well designs characterized by long lateral lengths that can extend in excess of 12,000 feet. Long lateral length wellbores require increased amounts of completion tubing, which, in turn, require well service rigs with higher operating HP to pull longer tubing strings from the wellbore. Furthermore, long lateral horizontal wells generally utilize taller stacks of wellhead equipment, which drives demand for well service rigs that have taller mast heights capable of accommodating an elevated work floor. These modern horizontal well designs are ideally serviced by "high-spec" well service rigs with high operating HP (450 HP or greater) and tall mast heights (102 feet or higher) rather than competing coiled tubing units and older or lower-spec well service rigs. As of May 19, 2017, all but one of our well service rigs meets these specifications, and approximately 78% of our well service rigs exceed these specifications with HP ratings of at least 500 HP and mast heights of at least 104 feet, making our fleet particularly well-suited to perform high-margin, horizontal well completion and production operations. The only remaining rig in our fleet is generally deployed only for plugging and abandonment operations of conventional vertical wells.

        The high-spec well service rigs in our existing fleet, a substantial majority of which has been built since 2012, have an average age of approximately four years and feature modern operating components sourced from leading U.S. manufacturers such as NOV. In February 2017, to meet expected customer demand, we entered into the NOV Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which we expect to accept delivery of an additional 27 high-spec well service rigs periodically throughout the remainder of 2017. However, NOV is not obligated pursuant to the NOV Purchase Agreement to deliver such high-spec well service rigs during 2017, and will not face penalties for delayed delivery, regardless of the length or cause of any delay. As a result of the NOV Purchase Agreement, our well service rig fleet will expand to 95 rigs, 94 of which will be high-spec. The following table provides summary information regarding our high-spec well service rig fleet, including the additional rigs that we expect to be delivered during

The mast ratings of our high-spec well service rigs complement their high operating HP and tall mast heights by allowing such rigs to safely support the higher weights associated with the long tubing strings used in long-lateral well completion operations.

*
Includes four rigs expected to be delivered during the remainder of 2017, two of which we expect to have extended mast heights of 117 feet.

**
Includes 17 rigs expected to be delivered during the remainder of 2017.

***
Includes six rigs expected to be delivered during the remainder of 2017.

        The composition of our well service rig fleet makes it particularly well-suited to provide both completion-oriented services, the demand for which generally increases along with increased capital spending by E&P operators, and production-oriented services, the demand for which is less influenced, on a comparative basis, by such capital spending. The ability of our well service rigs to accommodate the needs of our E&P customers in a variety of economic conditions has historically allowed us to maintain relatively high rig utilization as compared to our competitors. For example, our rig utilization during 2016 and the first quarter of 2017 was approximately 74% and 81%, respectively, which we believe to be significantly higher than that of our publicly listed competitors in the United States over such periods.

        In addition to our core well service rig operations, we offer a suite of complementary services, including wireline, snubbing, fluid management and well service-related equipment rentals. Our rental equipment includes well control packages and hydraulic catwalks, which are typically deployed in conjunction with high-spec well service rigs. These complementary services and equipment are typically procured by the same decision-makers at our customers that procure our well service rigs and are provided by our same field personnel, generating incremental revenues per job while limiting incremental costs to us. Our complementary well completion and production services and equipment strategically enhance our operating footprint, create operational efficiencies for our customers and allow us to capture a greater portion of their spending across the lifecycle of a well.

        We also provide a range of proprietary, modular equipment for the processing of rich natural gas streams at the wellhead or central gathering points in basins where drilling and completion activity has outpaced the development of permanent processing infrastructure. Our fleet of more than 25 MRUs is modern, reliable and equipped to handle large volumes of natural gas from conventional and unconventional wells while operating across a broad array of oilfield conditions with minimal downtime and maintenance. Our customers rely on our purpose-built MRUs to process natural gas to meet pipeline specifications, extract higher value NGLs, process natural gas to conform to the specifications of fuel gas that can be used at wellsites and facilities, and to reduce the amount of hydrocarbons at the flare tip to control emissions of hazardous VOCs.

        We have focused on combining our high-spec rig fleet, complementary well service operations and processing solutions with a highly skilled and experienced workforce, which enables us to consistently

83

and efficiently deliver exceptional service while maintaining high health, safety and environmental standards. We believe that our strong operational performance and safety record provides a strong competitive advantage with current and prospective E&P customers.


Industry Trends

        We believe the demand for our services will continue to increase as a result of a number of favorable industry trends. For example, we believe there are long term fundamental demand trends that will continue to benefit us, including:

    Increasing complexity of well completion operations, including longer laterals and a greater number of frac stages per well;

    Increasing percentage of rigs that are drilling horizontal wells;

    Increasing percentage of total production attributable to older horizontal wells;

    Shift towards liquids-rich development that is reliant on artificial lift technologies and associated well maintenance and workover operations;

    Sizable inventory of DUC wells requiring completion; and

    Increasing customer focus on well-capitalized, safe and efficient service providers that can meet or exceed their health, safety and environmental requirements.

        In addition, we believe pricing for our services will be further enhanced as a result of the following supply factors:

    Limited existing base of high-spec well service rigs;

    Aging of existing well services equipment given the limited investment since the industry downturn in late 2014;

    Limited number of manufacturers capable of building high-spec well service rigs; and

    Lesser reliability of alternative techniques, including coiled tubing, for high-complexity well completions.

        As a result, we expect to benefit from enhanced pricing for our services and continued industry-leading utilization. We believe that increased demand for our services as a result of commodity price trends and the increasing complexity of well completion operations, along with the limited supply of high-spec well service rigs and the relative unreliability of alternative well servicing techniques, present a unique market opportunity for our high-spec well service rig operations and related services. For additional information, please see "Industry."


Our Competitive Strengths

        We believe that the following strengths will position us to achieve our primary business objective of creating value for our shareholders:

Leading Provider of High-Spec Well Service Rigs and Associated Services

        We have invested in a premier fleet of well service rigs designed to efficiently execute technically challenging horizontal well completion programs as well as production-oriented well maintenance, workover and decommissioning operations. In February 2017, we entered into the NOV Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which we expect to accept delivery of an additional 27 high-spec well service rigs periodically throughout the remainder of 2017. As a result of the NOV Purchase Agreement, our total well service rig fleet will expand to 95 rigs, 94 of which will be high-spec. Based on Coras data,

84


Table of Contents

this makes us one of the largest independent providers of high-spec well service rigs and associated services in the United States. Further, we believe that our fleet of high-spec well service rigs is among the youngest fleet of well service rigs in the industry and is therefore more reliable and better suited to perform work on long lateral horizontal wells than the older fleets of many of our competitors. Additionally, our large and increasingly uniform fleet of high-spec well service rigs facilitates consistency in maintenance, training, in-field performance and service quality to customers. As horizontal well complexity continues to increase, we expect our customers will increasingly rely on high-spec well service rigs to perform both completion and production services. Consequently, we expect demand growth for our fleet of well service rigs to outpace that for many of our competitors' fleets.

Balanced Exposure to Completion and Production Activity

        The composition of our well service rig fleet makes it particularly well-suited to provide both completion-oriented and production-oriented services. Accordingly, we benefit from increased exposure to high-margin unconventional well completion support operations during periods of increased completion activity while maintaining stable growth through workover, well maintenance and decommissioning operations on the growing base of producing wells. The ability of our well service rigs to accommodate the needs of our E&P customers in a variety of economic conditions has historically allowed us to maintain relatively high rig utilization as compared to our competitors. For example, our rig utilization during 2016 and the first quarter of 2017 was approximately 74% and 81%, respectively, which we believe to be significantly higher than that of our publicly listed competitors in the United States over that period. Going forward, we believe that our balanced exposure to completion and production activity will continue to result in relatively high rig utilization as compared to our competitors.

Proprietary Natural Gas and NGL Processing Solutions

        We have developed a premium offering that includes proprietary designs on modern processing equipment, including modular MRUs that process natural gas at the wellhead or central gathering points to meet pipeline specifications, extract higher value NGLs, provide fuel gas for wellsites and facilities and reduce emissions at the flare tip. To facilitate the processing of rich natural gas streams in basins where drilling and completion activity has outpaced the development of permanent processing infrastructure, we typically enter into six- to twelve-month rental agreements with customers for our full-service, turnkey solutions, providing us with relatively stable cash flows as compared to the shorter-term agreements often used for similar equipment and services. Our modular units provide flexibility across a broad range of project requirements and operating environments, and are designed to allow for quick mobilization to minimize downtime and increase utilization, particularly in conjunction with the operational support provided by our expert field personnel. We expect our advanced technology and high-quality service to continue to drive market penetration across the multiple basins in which we operate.

Deep Relationships with Blue-Chip E&P Customers across Multiple Basins

        We are headquartered in Houston, Texas, and have an extensive operating footprint in key unconventional energy plays, including the Permian Basin, the Denver-Julesburg Basin, the Eagle Ford Shale and the Bakken Shale, which are among the most prolific unconventional resource plays in the United States. Our relationships with our broad customer base, which includes EOG Resources, Inc., Oasis Petroleum Inc., Noble Energy, Inc., PDC Energy Inc. and Statoil ASA, enabled us during the recent downturn to maintain higher utilization and stronger financial results than many of our competitors. Our track record of consistently providing high-quality, safe and reliable service has allowed us to develop long-term customer partnerships, which we believe makes us the service provider

85

of choice for many of our customers. For example, in 2014, we entered into the five-year take-or-pay EOG Contract for three well service rigs, which was increased in 2015 to six well service rigs, operating in the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas. Pursuant to the EOG Contract, EOG Resources, Inc. is generally obligated, with respect to each contracted well service rig, to utilize such well service rig for an average annual minimum of 2,750 hours at a stated rate based on our costs and other adjustments plus a mark-up that is subject to adjustment in certain circumstances based on market conditions and other factors. Further, during 2016, we worked for 148 distinct customers, including 33 publicly traded companies, with no customer accounting for more than 20% of our annual revenues. As our customers increase their drilling and completion activity, we expect to continue to leverage our current relationships to expand our geographic footprint and to facilitate continued growth in the basins in which we currently operate.

Strong Balance Sheet Enables Strategic Deployment of Capital

        We believe our balance sheet strength has allowed us to continue to invest in our equipment and meet working capital requirements required for a fast growing business, while also providing flexibility to opportunistically pursue expansion opportunities. We believe that larger E&P operators prefer well-capitalized service providers that are better positioned to meet service requirements and financial obligations. Many of our primary competitors have high levels of total debt or recently emerged from bankruptcy during which they significantly reduced their capital and maintenance expenditures. By contrast, after giving effect to this offering and the use of proceeds therefrom, we expect to have no outstanding debt, $             million of borrowing capacity under our Credit Facility and approximately $             million of cash on the balance sheet (based on our cash balance as of March 31, 2017), providing us with ample liquidity to support strategic investments to continue to grow our business and enhance market share.

Experienced Management Team Reinforces Dedication to Safety and Reliability

        The members of our management team are seasoned operating, financial and administrative executives with extensive experience in and knowledge of the oilfield services industry. Our senior executives have a strong track record in establishing oilfield service companies and growing them organically and through strategic acquisitions. Our management team is led by our President and Chief Executive Officer, Darron M. Anderson, who has more than 26 years of oil and natural gas experience and a track record of leadership in the oilfield services industry. Each member of our management team possesses significant leadership and operational experience with long tenures in the industry and respective careers at leading companies. We believe that the commitment of our management team to building and supporting a strong company culture has driven our consistent track record of reliability and safety. During 2016, our TRIRs in our Well Services and Processing Solutions segments were 0.72 and 0.00, respectively. Our history of safe operations enables us to qualify for projects with industry leading E&P customers that have stringent safety requirements.


Our Business Strategy

        We believe that we will be able to achieve our primary business objective of creating value for our shareholders by executing on the following strategies:

Capitalize on the Expected Increase in Demand for High-Spec Well Service Rigs

        As a leading owner and operator of modern high-spec well service rigs with an operating footprint and customer relationships in the most active unconventional oil and natural gas basins in the United States, we believe that our company is well positioned to capitalize efficiently on a recovery in unconventional completion and production activity and the resulting demand for high-spec well service rigs. Further, we expect that the relatively high current inventory of DUC wells will drive demand

growth for horizontal well completion services that will outpace the growth in the U.S. onshore drilling rig count. Industry reports by Spears forecast that the U.S. onshore market for completion equipment and services is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 26% through 2021, primarily driven by unconventional horizontal wells. We intend to leverage our high quality assets to strategically target higher-margin, horizontal completions-oriented work that typically exceeds the capabilities of coiled tubing and older, lower specification well service rigs. Unconventional oil wells in particular typically require frequent intervention as a result of relatively high utilization of downhole tools and equipment. As the growing base of unconventional producing wells ages, we expect E&P operators to increasingly deploy well service programs in order to increase and sustain production. We are well positioned to provide these services throughout the life of the well to meet this demand, including through well completion support services, workover operations and well maintenance, which should result in stable growth, increased asset utilization, enhanced profitability and relatively limited cyclicality.

Grow Our Fleet of High-Spec Well Service Rigs, Modular MRUs and Associated Equipment

        We have invested in a fleet of high-spec well service rigs through a combination of purchasing new-build rigs from leading U.S. manufacturers and by acquiring and integrating assets from other companies. As a result of the NOV Purchase Agreement, we expect to accept delivery of an additional 27 high-spec rigs periodically throughout the remainder of 2017. Further, in connection with our continued investment in high-spec well service rigs capable of meeting the most challenging horizontal well demands, we intend to accelerate our utilization of innovative technology systems allowing for the immediate collection and analysis of rig performance data. This data will allow us to operate among the highest levels of efficiency while assisting our customers in developing best well servicing practices.

        We have also invested in differentiated and proprietary assets in our equipment rentals business, including our modern, reliable fleet of modular MRUs. We expect to leverage our strong balance sheet and continue to strategically deploy additional capital to invest in high-spec well service rigs, purpose-built MRUs and complementary rental equipment to service our customers' well completion, production and processing operations.

Develop and Expand Relationships with Existing and New Customers

        We serve well-capitalized customers that we believe will be critical to the long-term development of conventional and unconventional domestic onshore resources in the United States. We intend to continue developing long-term relationships with our customer base of leading E&P operators that value safe and reliable operations and have the financial stability and flexibility to weather most industry cycles. We believe that our strong track record of performance combined with our fleet of high-spec well service rigs will allow us to both develop new customer relationships and expand our existing customer relationships through cross-selling opportunities with respect to our complementary equipment and services. Furthermore, many of our customers have established operations throughout the United States, which we intend to leverage as opportunities for us to enter new geographic regions as well as further strengthen our presence in the regions where we currently operate.

Maintain a Conservative Balance Sheet to Pursue Organic and External Growth Opportunities

        We intend to maintain a conservative approach to managing our balance sheet to preserve operational and strategic flexibility. We actively manage our liquidity by monitoring cash flow, capital spending and debt capacity. For example, as of March 31, 2017, we had only approximately $22.5 million of total combined consolidated long-term debt all of which, as well as the additional $3.5 million incurred under the Ranger Bridge Loan in April and May 2017, has been or will be repaid prior to or in connection with the consummation of this offering. Our focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet has enabled us to execute our strategy through industry volatility and commodity price

cycles. We expect to fund the expansion of our high-spec well service rig fleet and continue to grow our operations with the proceeds from this offering, cash flow from operations, availability under our Credit Facility and capital markets offerings when appropriate.

Reinforce Strong Company Culture through Employee Retention and Dedication to Safety

        We believe that our technically skilled personnel enable us to provide consistently reliable services while maintaining an excellent safety record that surpasses industry averages and meets the expectations of our leading E&P customers. By reinforcing our strong company culture, fostering a dedication to safety through the maintenance of stringent employee screening and training and providing opportunities to work with modern equipment and leading technologies, we expect to continue to experience relatively low turnover of our highly skilled workforce and attract additional talent to continue to deliver exceptional service to our customers.


Our Services

    Well Services

        Our high-spec well service rigs facilitate operations throughout the lifecycle of a well, including, as described in greater detail below, (i) well completion support; (ii) workover; (iii) well maintenance; and (iv) decommissioning. We provide these advanced well services to E&P companies, particularly to those operating in unconventional oil and natural gas reservoirs and requiring technically and operationally advanced services. Our high-spec well service rigs are designed to support growing U.S. horizontal well demands.

        Specifically, our well service rig operations consist primarily of the following:

    Well completion support.  Our well completion support services are utilized subsequent to hydraulic fracturing operations but prior to placing a well into production, and primarily include unconventional well completion operations, including milling out composite plugs, frac sand or other downhole debris or obstructions that were introduced in the well as part of the completion process and installing production tubing and other permanent downhole equipment necessary to facilitate extraction and production.

    Workovers.  Our workover services primarily facilitate major well repairs or modifications required to sustain the flow of oil and natural gas in a producing well. Workovers, which may require a few days to several weeks to complete and generally require additional auxiliary equipment, are typically more complex and more time consuming than well maintenance operations. Workover operations include major subsurface repairs such as repair or replacement of well casing, recovery or replacement of tubing and removal of foreign objects from the wellbore. All of our high-spec well service rigs are designed to perform complex workover operations.

    Well maintenance.  Our well maintenance services, which are generally conducted multiple times throughout the life of a well, provide periodic maintenance required throughout the life of a well to sustain optimal levels of oil and natural gas production. Our well maintenance services primarily include the removal and replacement of downhole production equipment, including artificial lift components such as sucker rods and downhole pumps, the repair of failed production tubing and the repair and removal of other downhole production-related byproducts such as frac sand or paraffin that impair well productivity. These and similar routine maintenance services involve relatively low-cost, short-duration operations that generally experience relatively stable demand notwithstanding changes in drilling activity.

    Decommissioning.  Our decommissioning services primarily include plugging and abandonment, in which our well service rigs and wireline and cementing equipment are used to prepare

88


Table of Contents

      non-economic oil and natural gas wells to be shut in and permanently or temporarily sealed. Decommissioning work is typically less sensitive to oil and natural gas prices than our other well service rig operations as a result of decommissioning obligations imposed by state regulations.

        In addition to our core well service rig operations, we also offer a suite of complementary services, including well service-related equipment rentals, wireline, snubbing and fluid management services.

    Well Service-Related Equipment Rentals.  Our well service-related equipment rentals consist of a diverse fleet of rental items, including power swivels (hydraulic motor-driven, pipe-rotating machines used to deliver shock-free torque to the drillstring or tubing during well service rig operations), well control packages (equipment used to ensure formation pressure is maintained within the wellbore during well service rig operations), hydraulic catwalks (mechanized lifting devices used to raise and lower drill pipe and tubing to and from the well service rig work floor), frac tanks, pipe racks and pipe handling tools. Our well service-related equipment rentals are typically used in conjunction with the services provided by our well service rigs and, in the last several years, have resulted in incremental associated revenues and enhanced profit margins.

    Wireline Services.  Our wireline services involve the use of wireline trucks equipped with a spool of cable that is unwound and lowered into oil and natural gas wells to convey specialized tools or equipment for well completion, well intervention, pipe recovery, plugging and abandonment and reservoir evaluation purposes.

    Snubbing Services.  Our snubbing services consist of using our snubbing units together with our well service rigs in order to perform well maintenance or workover operations on a pressurized well without killing the well. Our snubbing services, which enable operators to safely run or remove pipe and other associated downhole tools into a flowing well, are utilized for well maintenance, workover and well completion activities.

    Fluid Management Services.  Our fluid management services consist of the hauling of oilfield fluids, including drilling mud, fresh water and saltwater used or produced in well drilling, completion and production. Additionally, we rent tanks to store such fluids at the wellsite.

    Processing Solutions

        In our processing solutions segment, we provide a range of proprietary, modular equipment for the processing of rich natural gas streams at the wellhead or central gathering points in basins where drilling and completion activity has outpaced the development of permanent processing infrastructure. We have developed a premium offering that includes proprietary designs on modern processing equipment, including modular MRUs. Our modular units provide flexibility across a broad range of project requirements and operating environments, and are designed to allow for quick mobilization to minimize downtime and increase utilization, particularly in conjunction with the operational support provided by our expert field personnel. Our natural gas processing solutions assist our customers with meeting pipeline specifications, extracting higher value NGLs, providing fuel gas for wellsites and facilities and reducing emissions at the flare tip. Our modular units provide flexibility to match a broad range of project requirements and are designed to allow for quick mobilization and demobilization.

        In addition to our proprietary natural gas and NGL processing equipment, we offer full transportation, installation and ongoing operation services in the field. Our turn-key mobilization services include in-bound transportation, site offloading, installation, commissioning, startup and training of field personnel. Our ongoing operations and maintenance services include daily onsite and callout service, daily field reports and NGL transportation and marketing arrangements. We also employ full-time process and mechanical engineers with significant experience in designing gas treating and processing solutions to provide quality service to our customers.

        We also lease several smaller facilities, which leases generally have shorter terms. We believe that our existing facilities are adequate for our operations and their locations allow us to efficiently serve our customers. We do not believe that any single facility is material to our operations and, if necessary, we could readily obtain a replacement facility.

Equipment

    Well Services

        We have 68 well service rigs in our existing fleet, 67 of which are considered to be "high-spec," with high operating HP (450 HP or greater) and tall mast heights (102 feet or higher). The only rig in our fleet that is not high-spec is generally deployed only for plugging and abandonment operations on conventional vertical wells. We also have eight older plugging and abandonment rigs that we no longer market as part of our well service rig fleet. In February 2017, we entered into the NOV Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which we expect to accept delivery of an additional 27 high-spec well service rigs periodically throughout the remainder of 2017. As a result of the NOV Purchase Agreement, our well service rig fleet will expand to 95 rigs, 94 of which will be considered to be high-spec.

        The high-spec well service rigs in our existing fleet, the substantial majority of which has been built since 2012, have an average age of approximately four years and feature modern operating components sourced from leading U.S. manufacturers. Approximately 72% of our existing high-spec well service rigs

        In connection with the operations of our high-spec well service rigs, we also maintain a supply of additional service and rental equipment, including accumulators, acid and frac tanks, motor vehicles, trailers, tractors, catwalks, cementing units, snubbing units, pipe racks, power swivels, ram block assemblies, rig pumps and related items.

    Processing Solutions

        We have a fleet of more than 25 MRUs that are modern, reliable and equipped to handle large volumes of natural gas while operating across a broad array of oilfield conditions with minimal downtime and maintenance. Our MRUs are constructed and assembled by third-party vendors in accordance with our proprietary designs and with our oversight of sourcing and procurement. Our MRUs can be stacked and scaled to handle a broad range of projects and natural gas volumes (i.e., 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 MMscfd and beyond). Our MRUs can generate temperatures down to –20 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, we own and operate five (5) auxiliary NGL stabilizer units (designed to assist our MRUs that require additional capacity to separate and capture valuable NGLs), over 40 NGL storage tanks with bulkhead delivery systems and capacities of 18,000 gallons, fourteen trailer-mounted natural gas generators and additional supporting auxiliary equipment. Our proprietary natural gas and NGL processing equipment is generally designed to be mobile and purpose-built to increase efficiency and productivity while reducing safety risks.


Sales and Marketing

        Our sales and marketing activities typically are performed through our local operations in each geographical region, and are supported by sales representatives at our corporate headquarters. Our senior management also takes an active role in supporting our local sales and marketing operations and personnel. We believe our local field sales personnel understand the region-specific issues and customer operating procedures and therefore can more effectively target marketing activities. Our sales representatives work closely with our local managers and field sales personnel to target market opportunities.


Customers

        We have strong relationships with a broad customer base, including EOG Resources, Inc., Noble Energy, Inc., Oasis Petroleum Inc., PDC Energy Inc. and Statoil ASA. During 2016, we worked for 148 distinct customers, including 33 publicly traded companies. During the first quarter of 2017, EOG Resources, Inc. and PDC Energy Inc. accounted for more than 10% of our revenues. During 2016, EOG Resources, Inc. and PDC Energy Inc. each accounted for more than 10% of our revenues. During 2015, EOG Resources, Inc. and Whiting Petroleum Corporation each accounted for more than 10% of our revenues. Within our Well Services segment, our top five customers represented approximately 77% and 62% of our revenues for 2015 and 2016, respectively, and approximately 87% and 69% of our revenues for the first quarters of 2016 and 2017, respectively. Within our Processing Solutions segment, our top five customers represented approximately 98% and 90% of our revenues for 2015 and 2016, respectively, and approximately 89% and 100% of our revenues for the first quarters of 2016 and 2017, respectively.


Suppliers

        We have built strong relationships with the manufacturers of our high-spec well service rigs. and we believe we will continue to have timely access to new, high-spec rigs as we continue to grow. For example, in February 2017, we entered into the NOV Purchase Agreement to meet expected customer demand for our high-spec well service rigs. Further, we have built strong relationships with the third-party suppliers and other vendors that we use to assemble our MRUs and related modular processing

93


Table of Contents

equipment, and believe we will continue to have timely access to new MRUs and related equipment as we continue to grow.

        In addition, our internal supply chain team manages sourcing and logistics to ensure flexibility and continuity of supply in a cost effective manner across our areas of operation. We have built long-term relationships with multiple industry leading suppliers of materials and equipment. We purchase a wide variety of materials, parts and components that are manufactured and supplied for our operations. We are not dependent on any single source of supply for those parts, supplies or materials. To date, we have generally been able to obtain the equipment, parts and supplies necessary to support our operations on a timely basis.


Competition

        The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. We provide services in various geographic regions across the United States, and our competitors include many large and small oilfield service providers, including some of the largest integrated service companies. Specifically, our primary competitors in the well services market include Basic Energy Services, Inc., C&J Energy Services, Inc., Forbes Energy Services Ltd., Key Energy Services Inc. and Pioneer Energy Services Corp., and we view Pioneer Energy Services as our most significant competitor in the high-spec well service rig market. In the processing solutions market our primary competitors include GTUIT, LLC, Kinder Morgan Treating LP and Schlumberger Limited. In addition, our industry is highly fragmented and we compete regionally with a significant number of smaller service providers.

        We believe that the principal competitive factors in the markets we serve are technical expertise, equipment capacity, work force competency, efficiency, safety record, reputation, experience and price. Additionally, projects are often awarded on a bid basis, which tends to create a highly competitive environment. We seek to differentiate ourselves from our competitors by delivering the highest-quality services and equipment possible, coupled with superior execution and operating efficiency in a safe working environment.


Cyclical Nature of Industry

        We operate in a highly cyclical industry. The key factor driving demand for our services is the level of drilling activity by E&P companies, which in turn depends largely on the current and anticipated economics of new well completions. Global supply and demand for oil and the domestic supply and demand for natural gas are critical in assessing industry outlook. Demand for oil and natural gas is cyclical and subject to large, rapid fluctuations. E&P companies tend to increase capital expenditures in response to increases in oil and natural gas prices, which generally results in greater revenues and profits for oilfield service companies such as ours. Increased capital expenditures also ultimately lead to greater production, which historically has resulted in increased inventories and reduced prices which in turn tend to reduce demand for oilfield services. For these reasons, the results of our operations may fluctuate from quarter to quarter and from year to year, and these fluctuations may distort comparisons of results across periods.


Seasonality

        Our results of operations have historically reflected seasonal tendencies relating to holiday seasons, inclement weather and the conclusion of our customers' annual drilling and completion capital expenditure budgets. Our most notable declines occur in the first and fourth quarters of the calendar year for the reasons described above. Additionally, some of the areas in which we have operations, including the Denver-Julesburg Basin and the Bakken Shale, are adversely affected by seasonal weather conditions, primarily in the winter and spring. During periods of heavy snow, ice, wind or rain, we may be unable to move our equipment between locations, thereby reducing our ability to provide services

and generate revenues, or we could suffer weather-related damage to our facilities and equipment resulting in delays in operations. The exploration activities of our customers may also be affected during such periods of adverse weather conditions.


Segment Information

        For additional information on our operations by segment, see Note 10, "Segment Reporting" to our Predecessor's historical combined consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, and our Predecessor's historical unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2017 and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017, included elsewhere in this prospectus.


Environmental and Occupational Safety and Health Matters

        Our operations, which support the oil and natural gas exploration, development and production activities pursued by our customers, are subject to stringent and comprehensive federal, regional, state and local laws and regulations governing occupational safety and health, the discharge of materials into the environment, solid and hazardous waste management, transportation and disposal, and environmental protection. These laws and regulations may, among other things (i) limit or prohibit our operations on certain lands lying within wilderness, wetlands and other protected areas; (ii) require remedial measures to mitigate or clean-up pollution from former and ongoing operations; (iii) impose restrictions on the types, quantities and concentrations of various substances that can be released into the environment or injected in formations in connection with oil and natural gas drilling and production activities; (iv) impose specific safety and health standards or criteria addressing worker protection; and (v) impose substantial liabilities for pollution resulting from our operations. Numerous governmental entities, including the EPA and analogous state agencies, have the power to enforce compliance with these laws and regulations and the permits issued under them. Any failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of sanctions, including administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of investigatory, remedial or corrective action obligations or the incurrence of capital expenditures; the occurrence of delays in the permitting or performance of projects; the issuance of orders enjoining performance of some or all of our operations in a particular area; and governmental or private claims for personal injury or property or natural resource damages.

        The trend in environmental regulation has been to place more restrictions and limitations on activities that may adversely affect the environment, and thus any changes in environmental laws and regulations or re-interpretation of enforcement policies that result in more stringent and costly completion activities, or waste handling, storage transport, disposal, or remediation requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations. We may be unable to pass on such increased compliance costs to our customers. Moreover, accidental releases or spills may occur in the course of our operations, and we cannot assure you that we will not incur significant costs and liabilities as a result of such releases or spills, including any third-party claims for damage to property, natural resources or persons. Our customers may also incur increased costs or delays or restrictions in permitting or operating activities as a result of more stringent environmental laws and regulations, which may result in a curtailment of exploration, development or production activities that would reduce the demand for our services.

        The following is a summary of the more significant existing environmental and occupational safety and health laws, as amended from time to time, to which our business is subject and for which compliance may have a material adverse impact on our capital expenditures, results of operations or financial position.

95


Table of Contents

Worker Health and Safety

        We are subject to the requirements of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act ("OSHA"), and comparable state statutes that regulate the protection of the health and safety of workers. In addition, the OSHA hazard communication standard requires that information be maintained about hazardous materials used or produced in operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local government authorities and the public. We believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with OSHA requirements, including general industry standards, record keeping requirements and monitoring of occupational exposure to regulated substances.

Radioactive Materials

        Some of our operations utilize equipment that contains sealed, low-grade radioactive sources. Our activities involving the use of radioactive materials are regulated by the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission ("NRC") and state regulatory agencies under agreement with the NRC. Standards implemented by these regulatory agencies require us to obtain licenses or other approvals for the use of such radioactive materials. Historically, our radioactive materials compliance costs have not had a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects or results of operations; however, there can be no assurance that such costs will not be material in the future. The violation of these laws and regulations may result in the denial or revocation of permits, issuance of corrective action orders, injunctions prohibiting some or all of our operations in a particular area, and assessment of sanctions, including administrative, civil and criminal penalties.

Hazardous Substances and Wastes and Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials

        The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act ("RCRA"), and comparable state statutes, regulate the generation, treatment, storage, transportation, disposal and clean-up of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. Pursuant to rules issued by the EPA, individual states can have delegated authority to administer some or all of the provisions of RCRA, sometimes in conjunction with their own, more stringent requirements. In the course of our operations, we generate industrial wastes, such as paint wastes, waste solvents and waste oils that are regulated as hazardous wastes. Drilling fluids, produced waters, and most of the other wastes associated with the exploration, development, and production of oil or natural gas, if properly handled, are currently exempt from regulation as hazardous waste under RCRA and, instead, are regulated under RCRA's less stringent non-hazardous waste provisions, or other state or federal laws. However, it is possible that certain oil and natural gas drilling and production wastes now classified as non-hazardous could be classified as hazardous wastes in the future. For example, the EPA is required by a consent decree to propose a rulemaking for revision of certain Subtitle D criteria regulations pertaining to oil and natural gas wastes or sign a determination that revision of the regulations is not necessary no later than March 15, 2019. If EPA proposes a rulemaking for revised oil and natural gas waste regulations, the consent decree requires that the EPA take final action following notice and comment rulemaking no later than July 15, 2021. A reclassification of drilling fluids, produced waters and related wastes as hazardous under RCRA could result in an increase in our, as well as the oil and natural gas exploration and production industry's, costs to manage and dispose of generated wastes, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations. Additionally, other wastes handled at exploration and production sites or generated in the course of providing well services may not fall within this exclusion.

        Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials ("NORM") may contaminate extraction and processing equipment used in the oil and natural gas industry. The waste resulting from such contamination is regulated by federal and state laws. Standards have been developed for: worker protection; treatment, storage, and disposal of NORM and NORM waste; management of NORM-contaminated waste piles, containers and tanks; and limitations on the relinquishment of NORM contaminated land for

96


Table of Contents

unrestricted use under RCRA and state laws. We may incur significant costs or liabilities associated with elevated levels of NORM.

        The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), and comparable state laws impose strict, joint and several liability for environmental contamination and damages to natural resources without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct on certain classes of persons. These persons include owners and operators of real property impacted by a release of hazardous substances and any company that transported, disposed of, or arranged for the transport or disposal of hazardous substances to or at the site. Under CERCLA, such persons may be liable for, among other things, the costs of remediating the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources, and for the costs of certain health studies. In addition, where contamination may be present, it is not uncommon for the neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury, property damage and recovery of response costs.

Water Discharges and Discharges into Belowground Formations

        The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act ("CWA"), and analogous state laws, impose restrictions and strict controls with respect to the discharge of pollutants, including spills and leaks of oil and hazardous substances, into state waters and waters of the United States. The discharge of pollutants into regulated waters is prohibited, except in accordance with the terms of a permit issued by the EPA or an analogous state agency. Spill prevention, control and countermeasure plan requirements imposed under the CWA require appropriate containment berms and similar structures to help prevent the contamination of navigable waters in the event of a petroleum hydrocarbon tank spill, rupture or leak. In addition, the CWA and analogous state laws require individual permits or coverage under general permits for discharges of storm water runoff from certain types of facilities. The CWA also prohibits the discharge of dredge and fill material in regulated waters, including wetlands, unless authorized by permit. The CWA and analogous state laws also may impose substantial civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance including spills and other non-authorized discharges.

        The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 ("OPA") sets minimum standards for prevention, containment and cleanup of oil spills. The OPA applies to vessels, offshore facilities, and onshore facilities, including exploration and production facilities that may affect waters of the United States. Under the OPA, responsible parties including owners and operators of onshore facilities may be held strictly liable for oil cleanup costs and natural resource damages as well as a variety of public and private damages that may result from oil spills. The OPA also requires owners or operators of certain onshore facilities to prepare Facility Response Plans for responding to a worst-case discharge of oil into waters of the United States.

        Our oil and natural gas producing customers dispose of flowback and produced water or certain other oilfield fluids gathered from oil and natural gas producing operations in accordance with permits issued by government authorities overseeing such disposal activities. While these permits are issued pursuant to existing laws and regulations, these legal requirements are subject to change based on concerns of the public or governmental authorities regarding such disposal activities. One such concern relates to recent seismic events near underground disposal wells used for the disposal by injection of flowback and produced water or certain other oilfield fluids resulting from oil and natural gas activities. When caused by human activity, such events are called induced seismicity. In response to concerns regarding induced seismicity, regulators in some states have imposed, or are considering imposing, additional requirements in the permitting of produced water disposal wells or otherwise to assess any relationship between seismicity and the use of such wells. States may, from time to time, develop and implement plans directing certain wells where seismic incidents have occurred to restrict or suspend disposal well operations. In addition, ongoing lawsuits allege that disposal well operations have caused damage to neighboring properties or otherwise violated state and federal rules regulating waste

97


Table of Contents

disposal. These developments could result in additional regulation and restrictions on the use of injection wells by our customers to dispose of flowback and produced water and certain other oilfield fluids. Increased regulation and attention given to induced seismicity also could lead to greater opposition to, and litigation concerning, oil and natural gas activities utilizing injection wells for waste disposal. Any one or more of these developments may result in our customers having to limit disposal well volumes, disposal rates or locations, or require our customers or third party disposal well operators that are used to dispose of customer wastewater to shut down disposal wells, which developments could adversely affect our customers' business and result in a corresponding decrease in the need for our services, which would could have a material adverse on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations.

Air Emissions

        Some of our operations also result in emissions of regulated air pollutants. The federal Clean Air Act ("CAA") and analogous state laws require permits for certain facilities that have the potential to emit substances into the atmosphere that could adversely affect environmental quality. These laws and their implementing regulations also impose limitations on air emissions and require adherence to maintenance, work practice, reporting and record keeping, and other requirements. Failure to obtain a permit or to comply with permit or other regulatory requirements could result in the imposition of sanctions, including administrative, civil and criminal penalties. In addition, we or our customers could be required to shut down or retrofit existing equipment, leading to additional capital or operating expenses and operational delays.

        Many of these regulatory requirements, including NSPS and Maximum Achievable Control Technology standards, are expected to be made more stringent over time as a result of stricter ambient air quality standards and other air quality protection goals adopted by the EPA. Compliance with these or other new regulations could, among other things, require installation of new emission controls on some of our equipment, result in longer permitting timelines, and significantly increase our capital expenditures and operating costs, which could adversely impact on our business. For example, the EPA issued final CAA regulations in 2012 that include NSPS standards for completions of hydraulically fractured natural gas wells, compressors, controllers, dehydrators, storage tanks, natural gas processing plants and certain other equipment. In June 2016, the EPA published final rules establishing new emissions standards for methane and additional standards for VOCs from certain new, modified and reconstructed equipment and processes in the oil and natural gas source category, including production, processing, transmission and storage activities, and is formally seeking additional information from oil and natural gas producing companies as necessary to eventually expand these final rules to include existing equipment and processes. In April 2017, the EPA announced that it will initiate reconsideration proceedings to potentially revise or rescind portions of the rule. In addition, the EPA has issued a stay of the June 3, 2017 compliance date applicable to fugitive emissions monitoring requirements for 90 days.

        In addition, some of our customers operate on federal or tribal lands, and are thus subject to additional requirements, including those impose by tribal authorities and the BLM. For example, in June 2016, the EPA issued an FIP to implement the Federal Minor New Source Review Program on tribal lands for oil and gas production. The FIP creates a permit-by-rule process for minor sources that also incorporates emission limits and other requirements under various federal air quality standards, applying them to a range of equipment and processes used in oil and gas production. The FIP does not apply in areas of ozone non-attainment. As a result, the EPA may impose area-specific regulations in certain areas identified as tribal lands that may require additional emissions controls on existing equipment. Such requirements will likely result in increased operating and compliance costs for our customers in these regions.

98


Table of Contents

        In November 2016, the BLM finalized a rule regulating the venting and flaring of natural gas, leak detection, air emissions from equipment, well maintenance and unloading, drilling and completions and royalties potentially owed for loss of such emissions from oil and natural gas facilities producing on federal and tribal leases. The final rule became effective in January 2017 and is the subject of pending litigation filed by oil and natural gas trade associations and certain states seeking to modify or overturn the rule. In addition, in a March 28, 2017 executive order, President Trump directed the Secretary of the Interior to review these and several other BLM rules related to oil and gas operations and, if appropriate, to suspend, revise, or rescind the rules. The executive order also directs all executive agencies more broadly to review existing regulations that potentially burden the development or use of domestically produced energy resources.

        Compliance with these and other air pollution control and permitting requirements has the potential to delay the development of oil and natural gas projects and increase costs for us and our customers. Moreover, our business could be materially affected if these or other similar requirements increase the cost of doing business for us and our customers, or reduce the demand for the oil and natural gas our customers produce, and thus have an adverse effect on the demand for our services.

Climate Change

        In the United States, domestic efforts to curb GHG emissions continue be led by the EPA's GHG regulations as well as state and regional efforts aimed at tracking and/or reducing GHG emissions by means of cap and trade programs. In addition, the EPA has determined that GHG emissions present a danger to public health and the environment and has adopted regulations that, among other things, restrict emissions of GHGs under existing provisions of the CAA and may require the installation of "best available control technology" to limit emissions of GHGs from any new or significantly modified facilities if they would otherwise emit large volumes of GHGs together with other criteria pollutants. Also, the EPA has adopted rules requiring the monitoring and annual reporting of GHG emissions from oil and natural gas production, processing, transmission and storage facilities in the United States on an annual basis, including gathering and boosting stations as well as completions and workovers from hydraulically fractured oil wells. The EPA has also taken steps to limit methane emissions, a GHG, from certain new modified or reconstructed facilities in the oil and natural gas sector.

        In December 2015, the United States joined the international community at the 21st Conference of the Parties of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris, France that requires member countries to review and "represent a progression" in their intended nationally determined contributions, which set GHG emission reduction goals, every five years beginning in 2020. The Paris Agreement entered into force in November 2016 and the United States is one of over 100 nations that indicated an intent to comply with the agreement. Although this agreement does not create any binding obligations for nations to limit their GHG emissions, it does include pledges to voluntarily limit or reduce future emissions. Substantial limitations on GHG emissions could adversely affect demand for the oil and natural gas our customers produce and lower the value of their reserves, which developments could reduce demand for our services and have a corresponding material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations.

        Finally, increasing concentrations of GHGs in the Earth's atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, floods and other climatic events. If any such effects were to occur, they could have an adverse effect on our operations.

Hydraulic Fracturing

        Our customers are reliant on hydraulic fracturing services in connection with their production of oil and natural gas. Hydraulic fracturing stimulates production of oil and/or natural gas from dense

99


Table of Contents

subsurface rock formations by injecting water, sand and chemicals under pressure into the formation to fracture the surrounding rock and stimulate production.

        Hydraulic fracturing typically is regulated by state oil and natural gas commissions, but the EPA has asserted federal regulatory authority pursuant to the Safe Drinking Water Act over certain hydraulic fracturing activities involving the use of diesel fuel and issued permitting guidance in February 2014 that applies to such activities. The EPA also finalized rules in June 2016 that prohibit the discharge of wastewater from hydraulic fracturing operations to publicly owned wastewater treatment plants. In addition, the EPA released its final report on the potential impacts of hydraulic fracturing on drinking water resources in December 2016. The final report concluded that "water cycle" activities associated with hydraulic fracturing may impact drinking water resources "under some circumstances," noting that the following hydraulic fracturing water cycle activities and local- or regional-scale factors are more likely than others to result in more frequent or more severe impacts: water withdrawals for fracturing in times or areas of low water availability; surface spills during the management of fracturing fluids, chemicals or produced water; injection of fracturing fluids into wells with inadequate mechanical integrity; injection of fracturing fluids directly into groundwater resources; discharge of inadequately treated fracturing wastewater to surface waters; and disposal or storage of fracturing wastewater in unlined pits.

        Additionally, the EPA issued final CAA regulations in 2012 and in June 2016 governing performance standards, including standards for the capture of emissions of methane and VOCs released during hydraulic fracturing; published in June 2016 an effluent limit guideline final rule prohibiting the discharge of wastewater from onshore unconventional oil and natural gas extraction facilities to publicly owned wastewater treatment plants; and published in May 2014 an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking regarding Toxic Substances Control Act reporting of the chemical substances and mixtures used in hydraulic fracturing. The BLM finalized a rule in March 2015 establishing standards for hydraulic fracturing on federal and American Indian lands. In June 2016, a Wyoming federal judge struck down this final rule, finding that the BLM lacked authority to promulgate the rule. That decision was appealed by the federal government but, in March 2017, the BLM asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit to stay the proceeding while the agency considers repealing the rule. President Trump's March 28, 2017 executive order also directs the Secretary of the Interior to review the rule and, if appropriate, to suspend, revise or rescind the rule.

        In addition, various state and local governments have implemented, or are considering, increased regulatory oversight of hydraulic fracturing through additional permit requirements, operational restrictions, disclosure requirements, well construction and temporary or permanent bans on hydraulic fracturing in certain areas. For example, Texas, Colorado and North Dakota, among others, have adopted regulations that impose new or more stringent permitting, disclosure, disposal, and well construction requirements on hydraulic fracturing operations. States could also elect to prohibit high volume hydraulic fracturing altogether, following the approach taken by the State of New York in 2015. In addition to state laws, local land use restrictions, such as city ordinances, may restrict drilling in general and/or hydraulic fracturing in particular. If new federal, state or local laws or regulations that significantly restrict hydraulic fracturing are adopted, such legal requirements could result in delays, eliminate certain drilling and injection activities and make it more difficult or costly to perform hydraulic fracturing. Any such regulations limiting or prohibiting hydraulic fracturing could result in decreased oil and natural gas exploration and production activities and, therefore, adversely affect demand for our services and our business. Such laws or regulations could also materially increase our costs of compliance and doing business.

        Historically, our environmental compliance costs have not had a material adverse on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects and results of operations; however, there can be no assurance that such costs will not be material in the future. It is possible that substantial costs for compliance or penalties for non-compliance may be incurred in the future. Moreover, it is possible that

100


Table of Contents

other developments, such as the adoption of stricter environmental laws, regulations, and enforcement policies, could result in additional costs or liabilities that we cannot currently quantify.

State and Local Regulation

        Our operations, and the operations of our customers, are subject to a variety of state and local environmental review and permitting requirements. Some states have state laws similar to major federal environmental laws and thus our operations are also subject to state requirements that may be more stringent than those imposed under federal law. Our operations may require state-law based permits in addition to federal permits, requiring state agencies to consider a range of issues, many the same as federal agencies, including, among other things, a project's impact on wildlife and their habitats, historic and archaeological sites, aesthetics, agricultural operations, and scenic areas. Texas has specific permitting and review processes for oilfield service operations, and state agencies may impose different or additional monitoring or mitigation requirements than federal agencies. The development of new sites and our existing operations also are subject to a variety of local environmental and regulatory requirements, including land use, zoning, building, and transportation requirements.


Motor Carrier Operations

        We operate as a motor carrier and therefore are subject to regulation by the DOT and various state agencies. These regulatory authorities exercise broad powers, governing activities such as the authorization to engage in motor carrier operations; regulatory safety; hazardous materials labeling, placarding and marking; financial reporting; and certain mergers, consolidations and acquisitions. There are additional regulations specifically relating to the trucking industry, including testing and weight and dimension specifications of equipment, drug testing of drivers and product handling requirements. The trucking industry is subject to possible regulatory and legislative changes that may affect the economics of the industry by requiring changes in operating practices or by changing the demand for common or contract carrier services or the cost of providing truckload services. Some of these possible changes include increasingly stringent environmental regulations, changes in the hours of service regulations which govern the amount of time a driver may drive in any specific period and requiring onboard black box recorder devices or limits on vehicle weight and size.

        Interstate motor carrier operations are subject to safety requirements prescribed by DOT. Intrastate motor carrier operations are subject to safety regulations that often mirror federal regulations. Such matters as weight and dimension of equipment are also subject to federal and state regulations. DOT regulations also mandate drug testing of drivers. From time to time, various legislative proposals are introduced, including proposals to increase federal, state or local taxes, including taxes on motor fuels, which may increase our costs or adversely impact the recruitment of drivers. We cannot predict whether, or in what form, any increase in such taxes applicable to us will be enacted.


Intellectual Property

        We believe our trademarks and other protections for our proprietary technologies are adequate for the conduct of our business. In addition, we rely to a great extent on the technical expertise and know-how of our personnel to maintain our competitive position, and we take commercially reasonable measures to protect trade secrets and other confidential and/or proprietary information relating to the technologies we develop.

Risk Management and Insurance

        Our operations are subject to hazards inherent in the oil and natural gas industry, such as, but not limited to, accidents, blowouts, explosions, craterings, fires, oil spills and releases of drilling, completion or fracturing fluids or hazardous materials into the environment. These conditions can cause:

    disruption or suspension of operations;

    substantial repair or replacement costs;

    personal injury or loss of human life;

    significant damage to or destruction of property and equipment;

    environmental pollution, including groundwater contamination;

    unusual or unexpected geological formations or pressures and industrial accidents; and

    substantial revenue loss.

        In addition, our operations are subject to, and exposed to, employee/employer liabilities and risks such as wrongful termination, discrimination, labor organizing, retaliation claims and general human resource-related matters.

        Claims for loss of oil and natural gas production and damage to formations can occur in the well services industry. Litigation arising from a catastrophic occurrence at a location where our equipment and services are being used may result in our being named as a defendant in lawsuits asserting large claims.

        We do not have insurance against all risks, either because insurance is not available or because of the high premium costs. The occurrence of an event not fully insured against or the failure of an insurer to meet its insurance obligations could result in substantial losses. In addition, we may not be able to maintain adequate insurance in the future at rates we consider reasonable. Insurance may not be available to cover any or all of the risks to which we are subject, or, even if available, it may be inadequate, or insurance premiums or other costs could rise significantly in the future so as to make such insurance prohibitively expensive.

        We typically enter into MSAs with our customers. Our MSAs delineate our and our customers' respective indemnification obligations with respect to the services we provide. Generally, under our MSAs, we assume responsibility for pollution or contamination originating above the surface from our equipment or handling. However, our customers assume responsibility for all other pollution or contamination that may occur during operations, including that which may result from seepage or any other uncontrolled flow of drilling fluids. The assumed responsibilities include the control, removal and clean-up of any pollution or contamination. In such cases, we may be exposed to additional liability if we are negligent or commit willful acts causing the pollution or contamination. Generally, our customers also agree to indemnify us against claims arising from their employees' personal injury or death, in the case of our operations, to the extent that their employees are injured by such operations, unless the loss is a result of our gross negligence or willful misconduct. Similarly, we generally agree to indemnify our customers for liabilities arising from personal injury to or death of any of our employees, unless resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of our customer. The same principles apply to mutual indemnification for loss or destruction of customer-owned property or equipment, except such indemnification is not limited by negligence or misconduct. Losses due to catastrophic events, such as blowouts, are generally the responsibility of the customer. However, despite this general allocation of risk, we may be unsuccessful in enforcing contractual terms, incur an unforeseen liability that is not addressed by the scope of the contractual provisions or be required to enter into an MSA with terms that vary from our standard allocations of risk, as described above. Consequently, we may incur substantial losses that could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Legal Proceedings

        We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that, if determined adversely against us, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity position, financial condition, prospects or results of operations. We are, however, named defendants in certain lawsuits, investigations and claims arising in the ordinary course of conducting our business, including certain environmental claims and employee-related matters, and we expect that we will be named defendants in similar lawsuits, investigations and claims in the future. While the outcome of these lawsuits, investigations and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, we do not expect these matters to have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.


Employees

        As of March 31, 2017, we had approximately 663 employees and no unionized labor. We hire independent contractors on an as-needed basis. We believe we have satisfactory relations with our employees.

INDUSTRY

        Unless otherwise indicated, the market data and certain other statistical information set forth in this "Industry" section is based on independent industry publications, government publications and other published sources, including data from Coras, Spears, Qittitut and Drillinginfo. Some data are also based on our good faith estimates. Although we believe these third-party sources are reliable as of their respective dates, neither we, the selling shareholders nor the underwriters have independently verified the accuracy or completeness of this information. The industry in which we operate is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in the section entitled "Risk Factors." These and other factors could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in these publications.


Overview

        We operate our business within the oilfield services industry. Demand for oilfield services is primarily driven by the level of drilling, completion and production activity by E&P companies, which, in turn, depends largely on the current and anticipated profitability of developing oil and natural gas reserves. Over the past decade, the increased development of unconventional oil and natural gas reserves in North America has resulted in a significant growth in oil and natural gas production. However, beginning in the second half of 2014, oil and natural gas prices began to decline after the posted WTI price of oil reached a peak of $107.26 per Bbl in June 2014 and the posted Henry Hub price of natural gas reached a peak of $6.15 per MMBtu in February 2014. Significant declines in oil and natural gas prices continued through 2015 and parts of 2016, driving a reduction in the drilling, completion and production activities of the majority of E&P companies and, as a result, a reduction in the demand for oilfield services, leading to a decline in utilization across the industry.

        Reduced drilling and completion spending during 2015 and 2016 has resulted in a decline in the production of oil and natural gas in North America. Furthermore, an agreement in late 2016 by members of OPEC to reduce production, and thereby limit supply, has provided additional support for recent increases in oil and natural gas prices. For example, WTI benchmark oil prices have recovered by approximately 88% from a low of $26.21 per Bbl in February 2016 to $49.33 per Bbl at the end of April 2017. Henry Hub natural gas prices have increased by approximately 93% from a low of $1.64 per MMBtu in March 2016 to $3.17 per MMBtu at the end of April 2017.

        In response to the improved expected financial returns generated by these recent increases in oil and natural gas prices, E&P companies have generally increased their capital budgets thus far in 2017 as compared to 2016. Accordingly, the onshore U.S. drilling rig count has recovered by approximately 115% from a low of 404 rigs in May 2016 to 870 rigs in April 2017. Further, during the same time period, the number of drilling rigs drilling horizontal wells has risen from 314 to 730 and the number of drilling rigs targeting oil production has increased from 318 to 697. In addition, the number of active well service rigs in the United States has increased from 989 in May 2016 to 1,159 in March 2017. We expect to see continued increases in activity and pricing for oilfield services if commodity prices remain near current levels or rise further.


Our Segments

        Within the broader oilfield services industry, we conduct our operations through two segments: Well Services and Processing Solutions. As part of the oilfield services industry, our Well Services and Processing Solutions segments are generally influenced by the macroeconomic trends identified above under "—Overview." For example, as illustrated in the chart below, the U.S. onshore well services market has seen increased activity in recent years that largely coincides with increased drilling and completion spending by U.S. onshore E&P companies.

        In addition to such macroeconomic trends, however, our Well Services and Processing Solutions segments are impacted by a number of specific secular industry and market trends, as set forth in greater detail below.

Well Services

        Historically, the market for well services in the United States has been driven by well maintenance and workover operations on conventional wells, the majority of which are vertical. However, Coras estimates that more than 100,000 new horizontal shale wells have been brought online over the last decade, driven by a structural shift towards unconventional oil and natural gas development. Further, according to Spears, a total of approximately 66,900 horizontal wells are expected to be drilled in the United States from 2017 to 2021.

        Demand for our high-spec well service rigs and associated services is driven largely by the complexity of horizontal well completion and production operations, which has increased in recent years for a significant number of E&P companies, including many of our customers. Specifically, we believe that the following fundamental trends will continue to benefit us:

    Increasing complexity of well completion operations, including longer laterals and a greater number of frac stages per well;

    Increasing percentage of rigs that are drilling horizontal wells;

    Increasing percentage of total production attributable to older horizontal wells;

    Shift towards liquids-rich development that is reliant on artificial lift technologies and associated well maintenance and workover operations;

    Sizable inventory of DUC wells requiring completion; and

    Increasing customer focus on well-capitalized, safe and efficient service providers that can meet or exceed their health, safety and environmental requirements.

        In the near to medium-term, we expect that the relatively large current inventory of DUC wells across major U.S. shale plays will provide an incremental demand catalyst for our completion-oriented

well services. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the number of DUC wells in the major U.S. shale plays increased from 3,687 in December 2013 to 5,381 in January 2017. Completion of DUC wells should provide an incremental demand driver until the overall level of the DUC inventory decreases to normalized levels, which Spears estimates as 1,500 to 2,500 DUC wells.

        Going forward, we expect that unconventional, long-lateral horizontal wells will drive the demand for our high-spec well service rigs for both the completion of new wells and for maintenance and workover operations to sustain production on the growing inventory of horizontal unconventional wells. According to data from the Energy Information Administration and Drillinginfo, the contribution of horizontal wells to total onshore U.S. crude oil production has increased rapidly over the last five years, representing approximately 66% of such production from the lower 48 states in 2016 as compared to approximately 39% in 2012. Further, the contribution to total onshore U.S. crude oil production of horizontal wells completed more than three years ago, which are typically the most likely to require workover and maintenance services, represented approximately 16% of such production in the lower 48 states in 2016, or approximately four times greater than that in 2012. Furthermore, the majority of wells being completed today are horizontal and are expected to require workover and well maintenance to sustain production as they age.

        Due to the fundamental trends identified above, we expect that the growth in demand for our high-spec well service rigs and related services will significantly outpace the growth in drilling rig count in the U.S. oil and natural gas industry.

        We believe that the shift by U.S. E&P operators in recent years towards horizontal wells to develop unconventional oil and natural gas resources has resulted in a structural shift favoring high-spec well service rigs over existing low-spec well service rigs. For example, as illustrated in the chart below, the relative demand for high-spec workover rigs has increased significantly in recent years, with the majority of estimated workover rig demand for 2016 attributable to high-spec rigs.

Estimated Workover Rig Demand by Specificiation

        Considering the market dynamics described above, we believe pricing for our services will be further enhanced as a result of the following supply factors:

    Limited existing base of high-specification well service rigs;

    Aging of existing well services equipment given the limited investment since the industry downturn in late 2014;

    Limited number of manufacturers capable of building high-specification well service rigs; and

    Lesser reliability of alternative techniques, including coiled tubing, for high-complexity well completions.

        According to Coras, the vast majority of total available (including active, idle and stacked) well service rigs in the United States remain poorly suited for unconventional, long-lateral horizontal well applications. Coras classifies well service rigs with capacities of 450 HP or more and mast heights of 102 feet or higher as high-spec well service rigs that are ideally suited to service unconventional, long-lateral horizontal wells. Coras reports that the U.S. oil and natural gas industry is expected to require 1,000 to 1,500 of such ideally suited high-spec well service rigs over the next three years, as compared to an estimated total industry fleet of 770 as of February 28, 2017.

        Moreover, alternative techniques for well completion, such as the deployment of coiled tubing units for drill-out operations, have increasingly become less common as wellbore lateral lengths have continued to increase beyond the point where coiled tubing can reliably be deployed for well completion. Based on discussions with our E&P customers, we believe that coiled tubing units generally begin to decrease in effectiveness at lateral lengths in excess of 8,000 feet. Spears estimates that in 2016, wells with lateral lengths in excess of 8,000 feet accounted for approximately 98% of the horizontal wells drilled in the Bakken Shale, approximately 50% of the horizontal wells drilled in the Permian Basin and approximately 42% of the horizontal wells drilled in the Rocky Mountains region, including the Denver-Julesburg Basin. Increased lateral lengths in these and other basins are generally prompting operators to shift from using coiled tubing units to more reliable high-spec well service rigs. For example, according to Qittitut, approximately 45% of horizontal well completion drill-outs in 2016 were completed with well service rigs, as compared to approximately 25% in 2012.

107


Table of Contents

        Further, we believe that the U.S. well service market has recently become, and currently remains, very fragmented. A number of the large well service companies have high levels of total debt or have recently emerged from bankruptcy during which they significantly reduced their capital and maintenance expenditures in favor of restructuring operations to fulfill credit obligations. We believe that smaller well service providers, on the other hand, are often unable to satisfactorily meet the expectations of E&P companies due to a combination of low-spec well service rig fleets, inconsistent service quality and health, safety and environmental concerns. In addition, the number of companies capable of manufacturing high-spec well services rigs is limited, with each new-build rig requiring approximately three months for fabrication and delivery. Accordingly, we believe that we hold key competitive advantages required to benefit from the expected demand and supply trends favoring high-spec well service rigs and associated services.

Processing Solutions

        E&P companies have increasingly focused on exploiting unconventional resource plays in the onshore United States, many of which had no significant oil or natural gas production until unconventional horizontal drilling and completion technologies were developed over the course of the last decade. In many unconventional resource plays, the number of new wells coming online, and the associated increase in demand for equipment and services capable of processing, transporting and storing oil, natural gas and NGLs, has outpaced the expansion of traditional, permanent midstream infrastructure.

        Consequently, there has been increased demand for interim processing equipment and services required to provide "first mile" solutions to link production to various midstream markets as well as to provide fuel at the wellsite. Furthermore, unconventional resource development has also resulted in an increase in regulations aimed at limiting hazardous emissions from flaring at the wellsite. According to research published in December 2015, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimates that total flared gas volumes have represented a meaningful portion of total natural gas production in recent years, as evidenced by estimated volumes of approximately 143 billion cubic meters in 2012, or approximately 3.5% of global natural gas production during that time. Accordingly, the demand for processing solutions, which enable customers to meet pipeline specifications, extract higher value NGLs, provide fuel gas for wellsites and facilities and reduce emissions at the flare tip, has increased. In addition, we believe there is a limited supply of modular processing equipment capable of operating in harsh environments common to remote unconventional production sites. Furthermore, we believe that the majority of these providers offer limited field services to support equipment following initial deployment. As a result, we expect these supply trends to further benefit our processing solutions segment in the future.

Status as a Controlled Company

        Because CSL, through its interests in the Existing Owners, will initially hold approximately        % of the voting power of our capital stock following the completion of this offering, we expect to be a controlled company as of the completion of the offering under Sarbanes-Oxley and NYSE corporate governance standards. A controlled company does not need its board of directors to have a majority of independent directors or to form independent compensation and nominating and governance committees. As a controlled company, we will remain subject to rules of Sarbanes-Oxley and the NYSE that require us to have an audit committee composed entirely of independent directors. Under these rules, we must have at least one independent director on our audit committee by the date our Class A common stock is listed on the NYSE, at least two independent directors on our audit committee within 90 days of the listing date, and at least three independent directors on our audit committee within one year of the listing date.

        If at any time we cease to be a controlled company, we will take all action necessary to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley and NYSE corporate governance standards, including by appointing a majority of independent directors to our board of directors and ensuring we have a compensation committee and a nominating and corporate governance committee, each composed entirely of independent directors, subject to a permitted "phase-in" period.

        Initially, our board of directors will consist of a single class of directors each serving one-year terms. After CSL and its affiliates no longer collectively hold more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock, our board of directors will be divided into three classes of directors, with each class as equal in number as possible, serving staggered three-year terms, and such directors will be removable only for "cause."


Composition of Our Board of Directors

        Our board of directors currently consists of eight members. Prior to the date that our Class A common stock is first traded on the NYSE, we expect to have a                    member board of directors.

        In evaluating director candidates, we will assess whether a candidate possesses the integrity, judgment, knowledge, experience, skills and expertise that are likely to enhance the board's ability to manage and direct our affairs and business, including, when applicable, to enhance the ability of committees of the board to fulfill their duties.


Director Independence

        The board of directors is in the process of reviewing the independence of our directors using the independence standards of the NYSE and the SEC. Currently, we anticipate that our board of directors will determine that                    is independent within the meaning of NYSE listing standards currently in effect and within the meaning of 10A-3 of the Exchange Act.


Committees of the Board of Directors

Audit Committee

        We will establish an audit committee prior to the completion of this offering. Rules implemented by the NYSE and the SEC require us to have an audit committee comprised of at least three directors who meet the independence and experience standards established by the NYSE and the Exchange Act, subject to transitional relief during the one-year period following the completion of this offering. Our audit committee initially consists of                    , who is independent under the rules of the SEC. As required by the rules of the SEC and listing standards of the NYSE, the audit committee will consist solely of independent directors.

Table of Contents

        This committee will oversee, review, act on and report on various auditing and accounting matters to our board of directors, including: the selection of our independent accountants, the scope of our annual audits, fees to be paid to the independent accountants, the performance of our independent accountants and our accounting practices. In addition, the audit committee will oversee our compliance programs relating to legal and regulatory requirements. We expect to adopt an audit committee charter defining the committee's primary duties in a manner consistent with the rules of the SEC and the NYSE or market standards.

Compensation Committee

        Because we will be a "controlled company" as of the closing of this offering within the meaning of NYSE corporate governance standards, we will not be required to, and do not currently expect to, have a compensation committee as of the closing of this offering.

        If and when we are no longer a "controlled company" within the meaning of NYSE corporate governance standards, we will be required to establish a compensation committee. We anticipate that such a compensation committee would consist of three directors who will be "independent" under the rules of the SEC and the NYSE. This committee would establish salaries, incentives and other forms of compensation for officers and other employees. Any compensation committee would also administer our incentive compensation and benefit plans. Upon formation of a compensation committee, we would expect to adopt a compensation committee charter defining the committee's primary duties in a manner consistent with the rules of the SEC and the NYSE or market standards.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

        Because we will be a "controlled company" as of the closing of this offering within the meaning of NYSE corporate governance standards, we will not be required to, and do not currently expect to, have a nominating and corporate governance committee.

        If and when we are no longer a "controlled company" within the meaning of NYSE corporate governance standards, we will be required to establish a nominating and corporate governance committee. We anticipate that such a nominating and corporate governance committee would consist of three directors who will be "independent" under the rules of the SEC and the NYSE. This committee would identify, evaluate and recommend qualified nominees to serve on our board of directors, develop and oversee our internal corporate governance processes and maintain a management succession plan. Upon formation of a nominating and corporate governance committee, we would expect to adopt a nominating and corporate governance committee charter defining the committee's primary duties in a manner consistent with the rules of the SEC and the NYSE or market standards.


Code of Conduct

        Prior to the completion of this offering, our board of directors will adopt a code of conduct applicable to our employees, directors and officers, in accordance with applicable U.S. federal securities laws and the corporate governance rules of the NYSE. Any waiver of this code may be made only by our board of directors and will be promptly disclosed as required by applicable U.S. federal securities laws and the corporate governance rules of the NYSE.

For Messrs. Milliren, Douglas and Podraza, the amounts in this column reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of Class C and Class D units in Ranger Holdings (the "Ranger Holdings Incentive Units") granted pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Ranger Holdings (as amended from time to time, the "Ranger Holdings LLC Agreement") during fiscal year 2016, determined in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, based on the probable outcome of the applicable performance conditions (determined as of the applicable date of grant) and excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures. The Ranger Holdings Incentive Units are intended to constitute profits interests and represent actual (non-voting) equity interests in Ranger Holdings that have no liquidation value for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the date of grant but are designed to gain value only after the underlying assets have realized a certain level of growth and return to those persons who hold certain other classes of equity. We believe that, despite the fact that the Ranger Holdings Incentive Units do not require the payment of an exercise price, such awards are most similar economically to options and, as such, they are properly classified as "options" for purposes of the SEC's executive compensation disclosure rules under the definition provided in 402(m)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K since such awards had "option-like features." The Ranger Holdings Incentive Units are not designed with a threshold, target or maximum potential payout level. Further information regarding the assumptions used in the valuation of the Ranger Holdings Incentive Units is included in Note 11—Owners' Capital and Profit Interests Awards—Well Services to the Notes to Combined Consolidated Financial Statements of Ranger Services and under "—Narrative Disclosures—Incentive Units—Ranger Holdings Incentive Units" below.

For Mr. Perryman, this table reflects information regarding Class B and Class C-1 units in Torrent Holdings (the "Torrent Holdings Incentive Units") granted pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Torrent Holdings (as amended from time to time, the "Torrent Holdings LLC Agreement"). The Torrent Holdings Incentive Units are intended to constitute profits interests and represent actual (non-voting) equity interests in Torrent Holdings that have no liquidation value for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the date of grant but are designed to gain value only after the underlying assets have realized a certain level of growth and return to those persons who hold certain other classes of equity.

Additional Narrative Disclosures

Base Salary

        Each named executive officer's base salary is a fixed component of compensation that does not vary depending on the level of performance achieved. Base salaries are determined for each named executive officer based on his or her position and responsibility. Our board of directors reviews the base salaries for each named executive officer annually as well as at the time of any promotion or significant change in job responsibilities and, in connection with each review, our board of directors considers individual and company performance over the course of the applicable year. Pursuant to the employment agreement we maintain with Mr. Perryman, his base salary may be increased but not decreased without his written consent. Pursuant to the employment agreement we maintain with Mr. Douglas, his base salary may be increased but not decreased. Pursuant to the employment agreement we maintain with Mr. Podraza, his base salary may be increased but generally not decreased except for a decrease that does not exceed more than 10% of his base salary if (1) the same reduction applies to all similarly situated employees and (2) our board of directors determines that such reduction is necessary to avoid violating one or more financial covenants in our loan agreements or similar financing arrangements.

Cash Bonuses

        We do not maintain a formal bonus program for our named executive officers. However, our named executive officers have historically been eligible to receive discretionary bonuses, based in part upon pre-established performance criteria, to recognize their significant contributions and aid in our retention efforts. Our board of directors determines whether each named executive officer is eligible to receive a cash bonus for a given year and sets the amount of such cash bonus.

        Going forward, our board of directors (or a committee thereof) will determine each named executive officer's eligibility for an annual cash bonus (whether discretionary or pursuant to a bonus plan we later implement), and the amount of such bonus (if any).

Incentive Units

        Set forth below is a discussion of the Ranger Holdings Incentive Units and the Torrent Holdings Incentive Units. In connection with the corporate reorganization described in this prospectus, we expect that certain of the Ranger Holdings Incentive Units and Torrent Holdings Incentive Units will be

117


Table of Contents

redeemed for substantially similar incentive units in Ranger Holdings II and Torrent Holdings II, respectively, which will be subject to the same tiered distribution thresholds, vesting conditions and forfeiture and repurchase terms as the corresponding Ranger Holdings Incentive Units and Torrent Holdings Incentive Units.

    Ranger Holdings Incentive Units

        Certain executive officers of Ranger Services, including Messrs. Milliren, Douglas and Podraza, previously received Ranger Holdings Incentive Units granted pursuant to the Ranger Holdings LLC Agreement. The Ranger Holdings Incentive Units are intended to constitute "profits interests" and represent actual (non-voting) equity interests that have no liquidation value for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the date of grant but are designed to gain value only after the underlying assets realize a certain level of growth and return to those persons who hold certain other classes of equity. The Ranger Holdings Incentive Units are divided into two classes, Class C and Class D units, and each class has a separate distribution threshold. A potential payout for each class will occur when a specified level of cumulative cash distributions is received by the members holding capital interests in Ranger Holdings. 75% of the Class C and Class D units granted to the named executive officers are subject to time-based vesting while 25% of the Class C and Class D units are subject to event-based vesting. The Class C and Class D units subject to time-based vesting are subject to the following vesting schedule: (i) for Messrs. Milliren and Podraza, such Class C and Class D units vest in three equal installments on December 31, 2016, October 1, 2017 and June 30, 2018 and (ii) for Mr. Douglas, such Class C and Class D units vest in three equal annual installments on October 3, 2017, October 3, 2018 and October 3, 2019, in each case, subject to the named executive officer remaining continuously employed through the applicable vesting date. The Class C and Class D units subject to event-based vesting vest upon the occurrence of a "Change of Control". Further, upon such Change of Control, the Class C and Class D units subject to event-based vesting may be converted to cash (or other applicable consideration received in connection with the Change of Control) if the holders of such Class C and Class D units are entitled to receive cash (or such other consideration) in connection with such Change of Control. In addition, the Class C and Class D units subject to time-based vesting will fully vest immediately prior to the occurrence of a Change of Control or an "Initial Public Offering". Generally, any unvested Class C or Class D units will be forfeited for no consideration in the event of a resignation by the named executive officer without "Good Reason" or a termination of employment for "Cause" or in the event of the named executive officer's bankruptcy. In the event of a termination of employment, Ranger Holdings has the right to purchase Class C and Class D units (whether vested or not) for (a) in the case of a resignation by the named executive officer without Good Reason or a termination of employment for Cause, the lesser of $100 and the fair market value of the Class C or Class D units or (b) in the case of any other termination, the fair market value of the Class C or Class D units.

        The Class C units and the Class D units will generally be entitled to 10% and 5% of future distributions, respectively, to members of Ranger Holdings only after all of the members that have made capital contributions to Ranger Holdings shall have received cumulative distributions in respect of their membership interests equal to their cumulative capital contributions plus additional cumulative distributions equal to a return on equity investment computed like interest at the rate per fiscal year equal to 8% cumulative and compounded annually, accruing beginning on the effective date of the Ranger Holdings LLC Agreement, on the unpaid sum of such members' capital return account; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no distributions will be made with respect to the Class D units until all of the members of Ranger Holdings that have made capital contributions to Ranger Holdings have also received additional cumulative distributions in respect of their membership interests equal to two times their cumulative capital contributions.

118


Table of Contents

        A "Change of Control" is generally defined in an applicable award agreement as (i) the date any one person or group (excluding CSL and its affiliates) acquires ownership of securities of Ranger Holdings representing more than 50% of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities of Ranger Holdings, (ii) any consolidation or merger involving Ranger Holdings in which the members of Ranger Holdings immediately prior to such consolidation or merger do not beneficially own securities representing more than 50% of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or continuing entity or (iii) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of all, or substantially all, of the assets of Ranger Holdings.

        An "Initial Public Offering" is generally defined in the Ranger Holdings LLC Agreement as the initial underwritten public offering of the securities of Ranger Holdings or other common equity securities pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-1 under the Securities Act.

        A termination for "Cause" is generally defined in an applicable award agreement to occur upon a named executive officer's (i) commission of an act of fraud, dishonesty or disloyalty that could adversely affect or seriously prejudice Ranger Holdings or its affiliates, (ii) refusal or failure to follow lawful instructions of the board of managers of Ranger Holdings, (iii) breach of fiduciary duty or duty of loyalty, (iv) acceptance of work with another employer or business, (v) habitual drug or alcohol abuse, (vi) material breach or violation of the named executive officer's employment agreement, the Ranger Holdings LLC Agreement or the award agreement, (vii) material breach or violation of any lawful policy, rule, regulation or directive, (viii) conviction of any felony or conviction of any crime involving moral turpitude, (ix) violation of federal or state securities laws or (x) commission of an act of attempting to secure personal profit or benefit not fully disclosed to and approved by the board of managers of Ranger Holdings in connection with any transaction entered into on behalf of Ranger Holdings or its affiliates.

        A resignation for "Good Reason" is generally defined in an applicable award agreement to occur upon the material diminution of a named executive officer's job duties and responsibilities without the named executive officer's express written consent.

        We do not expect that our corporate reorganization or this offering will result in a Change in Control or an Initial Public Offering with respect to the Ranger Holdings Incentive Units. As of the date of this filing, no class of the Ranger Holdings Incentive Units has received a payout. Because we are not a party to the Ranger Holdings LLC Agreement, we cannot be certain that the terms of the Ranger Holdings Incentive Units and Ranger Holdings LLC Agreement will remain the same in the future.

    Torrent Holdings Incentive Units

        Certain executive officers of Torrent Services, including Mr. Perryman, previously received Torrent Holdings Incentive Units granted pursuant to the Torrent Holdings LLC Agreement. The Torrent Holdings Incentive Units are intended to constitute "profits interests" and represent actual (non-voting) equity interests that have no liquidation value for U.S. federal income tax purposes on the date of grant but are designed to gain value only after the underlying assets realize a certain level of growth and return to those persons who hold certain other classes of equity. The Torrent Holdings Incentive Units are divided into three classes, Class B, Class C-1 and Class C-2 units, and each class has a separate distribution threshold. A potential payout for each class will occur when a specified level of cumulative cash distributions is received by the members holding capital interests in Torrent Holdings. Mr. Perryman currently holds Class B and Class C-1 units. 75% of the Class B units granted to Mr. Perryman are subject to time-based vesting while 25% of the Class B units are subject to event-based vesting. The Class B units subject to time-based vesting vested as to one-third of the award on September 16, 2015 and one-third of the award on September 16, 2016 and will vest as to the final one-third of the award on September 16, 2017, subject to Mr. Perryman remaining continuously

119


Table of Contents

employed through such vesting date. The Class B units subject to event-based vesting vest on the date that is six months following the first to occur of a "Drag-Along Transaction" or a "Public Offering", unless the service of Mr. Perryman is terminated without "Cause" or due to "Disability or Mr. Perryman resigns with "Good Reason", in each case, following the occurrence of such event but before the date that is six months thereafter, in which case, such Class B units will vest immediately upon such termination or resignation. In addition, the Class B units subject to time-based vesting will fully vest immediately upon the occurrence of a Drag-Along Transaction. Further, 25% of the Class B units subject to time-based vesting will vest if the service of Mr. Perryman is terminated without Cause or Mr. Perryman resigns with Good Reason. Additionally, under the Torrent Holdings LLC Agreement, (i) if Mr. Perryman's employment is terminated for Cause, all of his Class B units will be forfeited for no consideration and (ii) if Mr. Perryman resigns without Good Reason, one-half of his vested Class B units and all of his unvested Class B units will be forfeited for no consideration. The Class C-1 units were fully vested upon grant and are not subject to forfeiture or repurchase.

        The Class B units will generally be entitled to 16% of future distributions to members of Torrent Holdings only after all of the members that have made capital contributions to Torrent Holdings shall have received cumulative distributions in respect of their membership interests equal to their cumulative capital contributions plus additional cumulative distributions that equal a certain predetermined level of return, which varies depending on the class of membership interests held by such members, on their cumulative capital contributions. The Class C-1 units will generally be entitled to 30% of future distributions to members of Torrent Holdings only after all of the members that have made capital contributions to Torrent Holdings shall have received cumulative distributions in respect of their membership interests equal to their cumulative capital contributions plus additional cumulative distributions that equal a certain predetermined level of return, which varies depending on the class of membership interests held by such members, on their cumulative capital contributions and other members of Torrent Holdings that hold incentive units (including the Class B units) have also received a certain predetermined amount of cumulative distributions, which varies depending on the class of incentive units held by such members.

        A "Drag-Along Transaction" is generally defined in the Torrent Holdings LLC Agreement as (i) any consolidation, conversion, merger or other business combination involving Torrent Holdings in which all of its securities are exchanged for or converted into cash, securities of a corporation or other business organization or other property, other than a Public Offering, (ii) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Torrent Holdings to be followed promptly by a liquidation of Torrent Holdings or (iii) the transfer of all of the outstanding securities of Torrent Holdings in a single transaction or a series of related transactions.

        A "Public Offering" is generally defined in the Torrent Holdings LLC Agreement as the initial sale of common stock or other equity securities of Torrent Holdings or its successor pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act.

        A termination for "Cause" is generally defined in the Torrent Holdings LLC Agreement to occur upon a named executive officer's (i) failure or refusal to perform substantially all material duties, responsibilities and obligations, (ii) failure or refusal to implement, perform or adhere to reasonable policies, directives or orders of the board of managers of Torrent Holdings, (iii) commission of an act involving gross misconduct or malfeasance in the performance of duties, (iv) commission of an act involving fraud, misrepresentation, theft, embezzlement, dishonesty or moral turpitude, (v) conviction of a felony or offense involving fraud, (vi) material breach of the Torrent Holdings LLC Agreement, any employment agreement or restrictive covenant agreement or (vii) gross negligence in discharging any material part of the named executive officer's duties.

        A resignation for "Good Reason" is generally defined in the Torrent Holdings LLC Agreement to occur upon (i) a material diminution in a named executive officer's base salary, (ii) the relocation of

120


Table of Contents

the principal location where a named executive officer is required to perform his or her duties to a location that is more than 25 miles away, (iii) a material reduction in a named executive officer's functions, duties, title or responsibilities or (iv) a material breach by Torrent Holdings of any material provision of the Torrent Holdings LLC Agreement, a named executive officer's employment agreement or the Torrent Holdings Incentive Unit award agreement.

        We do not expect that our corporate reorganization or this offering will result in a Drag-Along Transaction or a Public Offering with respect to the Torrent Holdings Incentive Units. As of the date of this filing, no class of Torrent Holdings Incentive Units has received a payout. Because we are not a party to the Torrent Holdings LLC Agreement, we cannot be certain that the terms of the Torrent Holdings Incentive Units and Torrent Holdings LLC Agreement will remain the same in the future.

Other Benefits

        Immediately prior to this offering and during fiscal year 2016, we offered participation in broad-based retirement, health and welfare plans to all of our employees. Immediately prior to this offering and during fiscal year 2016, we maintained plans intended to provide benefits under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "401(k) Plan"), where employees were allowed to contribute portions of their base compensation into a retirement account in order to encourage all employees, including any participating named executive officers, to save for the future. For the 2016 plan year, we provided an effective matching contribution equal to 100% of between 2% and 4% of an employee's eligible compensation.

        We intend to offer participation in broad-based retirement, health and welfare plans to all of our employees. We also intend to maintain a 401(k) Plan, which we anticipate will provide for employer matching contributions and/or employer non-elective contributions.

Employment, Severance or Change in Control Agreements

        Ranger Services currently maintains employment agreements with Messrs. Douglas and Podraza. The employment agreement with Mr. Douglas will be terminated, effective as of May 31, 2017, without "Cause." Mr. Podraza has voluntarily resigned employment without "Good Reason," to be effective in July 2017, at which point his employment agreement will be terminated. Ranger Services previously maintained employment agreements with Messrs. Agee and Milliren. The employment agreement with Mr. Agee was terminated in connection with his termination of employment without "Cause" in March 2017 and the employment agreement with Mr. Milliren was terminated in connection with his termination of employment without "Cause" in April 2017. Torrent Services has entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Perryman.

        Each outstanding employment agreement generally provides for a two- or three-year term with automatic renewals for successive one-year periods unless either party elects not to renew. Each outstanding employment agreement generally provides for an annualized base salary (as described above under "—Additional Narrative Disclosures—Base Salary") and eligibility to participate in all benefit plans and programs of Ranger Services or Torrent Services, as applicable. Each outstanding employment agreement also provides for annual cash incentive bonuses (as described above under "—Additional Narrative Disclosures—Cash Bonuses"). Mr. Perryman's employment agreement provides for subsidized medical, dental and vision insurance premiums, a car allowance and participation in an additional retirement plan that Torrent Services may establish, at its discretion.

        Each outstanding employment agreement provides for the following benefits upon a named executive officer's termination of employment without "Cause" (as defined in the applicable employment agreement): (i) for Mr. Douglas, continued payment of his base salary for a period of 12 months, (ii) for Mr. Podraza, continued payment of his base salary for a period of six months and (iii) for Mr. Perryman, continued payment of his base salary for a period of nine months plus payment

of an amount equal to the pro-rated incentive compensation that would have been earned in the year of his termination had he not been terminated, subject to the discretion of our board of directors. Upon a termination of employment for "Good Reason" (as defined in the applicable employment agreement), Messrs. Podraza and Perryman are entitled to the same payments due to them upon a termination without Cause, as described in the preceding sentence. If a named executive officer's employment is terminated for any reason other than those described above, no further compensation and benefits will be provided following the termination of the named executive officer's employment. The outstanding employment agreements also contain certain restrictive covenants, including provisions that generally prohibit a named executive officer from competing with or soliciting vendors, suppliers, customers or clients of Ranger Services and its affiliates or Torrent Services and its affiliates, as applicable. These restrictions generally apply during the term of the named executive officer's employment and for a period between six months to two years following the termination of such employment.

        In connection with his termination of employment without Cause in March 2017, Mr. Agee became entitled to payments equal to 150% of his base salary, or approximately $0.7 million, for 12 months following the date of termination pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement but the final terms of his separation are still being negotiated. In connection with his termination of employment without Cause in March 2017, Mr. Milliren was entitled to continued payment of his base salary for a limited period of time that ended in May 2017. In addition, subject to his execution of a release of claims in favor of us, Mr. Milliren will receive a one-time bonus in an amount equal to $275,000 (less applicable taxes and other withholdings), paid in a single lump sum cash payment, upon the closing of this offering. Upon the effectiveness of his termination of employment without Cause on May 31, 2017, Mr. Douglas is expected to receive the severance payments described in the preceding paragraph (i.e., continued payment of his base salary for a period of 12 months) pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement plus, as determined by Ranger Services in its discretion, accelerated vesting of a portion of the unvested Ranger Holdings Incentive Units held by Mr. Douglas as of the date of termination. Upon the effectiveness of his voluntary resignation of employment without Good Reason in July 2017, Mr. Podraza is not expected to receive any severance payments pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement.

        It is currently anticipated that the employment agreement with Mr. Perryman will continue to remain in effect following the completion of this offering. We do not currently anticipate entering into any new employment, severance or change in control agreements prior to or in connection with this offering. In addition, our named executive officers are not currently entitled to any payments or other benefits in connection with a termination of employment or a change in control, other than with respect to the employment agreements described in the preceding paragraphs and the Incentive Units described above under "—Additional Narrative Disclosures—Incentive Units."

2017 Long Term Incentive Plan

        In connection with this offering, we intend to adopt an omnibus equity incentive plan, the Ranger Energy Services, Inc. 2017 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "2017 Plan"), for the employees, consultants and the directors of the Company and its affiliates who perform services for us. The following description of the 2017 Plan is based on the form we anticipate adopting, but the 2017 Plan has not yet been adopted and the provisions discussed below remain subject to change. As a result, the following description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the final form of the 2017 Plan once adopted. At this time, we have not made any final decisions regarding whether 2017 Plan awards will be granted to any individual in connection with this offering.

        The 2017 Plan will provide for potential grants of: (i) incentive stock options qualified as such under U.S. federal income tax laws; (ii) nonstatutory stock options that do not qualify as incentive stock options; (iii) stock appreciation rights; (iv) restricted stock awards; (v) restricted stock units;

122


Table of Contents

(vi) bonus stock; (vii) performance awards; (viii) dividend equivalents; (ix) other stock-based awards; (x) cash awards; and (xi) substitute awards .

    Eligibility

        Our employees, consultants and non-employee directors, and employees, consultants and non-employee directors of our affiliates, will be eligible to receive awards under the 2017 Plan.

    Administration

        Our board of directors, or a committee thereof (as applicable, the "Administrator"), will administer the 2017 Plan pursuant to its terms and all applicable state, federal or other rules or laws. The Administrator will have the power to determine to whom and when awards will be granted, determine the amount of awards (measured in cash or in shares of our Class A common stock), proscribe and interpret the terms and provisions of each award agreement (the terms of which may vary), accelerate the vesting or exercisability of an award, delegate duties under the 2017 Plan and execute all other responsibilities permitted or required under the 2017 Plan.

    Securities to be Offered

        Subject to adjustment in the event of any distribution, recapitalization, split, merger, consolidation or similar corporate event,             shares of our Class A common stock will be available for delivery pursuant to awards under the 2017 Plan. If an award under the 2017 Plan is forfeited, settled for cash or expires without the actual delivery of shares, any shares subject to such award will again be available for new awards under the 2017 Plan.

    Types of Awards

        Options—We may grant options to eligible persons including: (i) incentive stock options (only to our employees or those of our subsidiaries) which comply with section 422 of the Code; and (ii) nonstatutory stock options. The exercise price of each option granted under the 2017 Plan will be stated in the option agreement and may vary; however, the exercise price for an option must not be less than the fair market value per share of Class A common stock as of the date of grant (or 110% of the fair market value for certain incentive stock options), nor may the option be re-priced without the prior approval of our stockholders. Options may be exercised as the Administrator determines, but not later than ten years from the date of grant. The Administrator will determine the methods and form of payment for the exercise price of an option (including, in the discretion of the Administrator, payment in Class A common stock, other awards or other property) and the methods and forms in which Class A common stock will be delivered to a participant.

        Stock Appreciation Rights—A stock appreciation right is the right to receive a share of Class A common stock, or an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of one share of the Class A common stock on the date of exercise over the grant price of the stock appreciation right, as determined by the Administrator. The exercise price of a share of Class A common stock subject to the stock appreciation right shall be determined by the Administrator, but in no event shall that exercise price be less than the fair market value of the Class A common stock on the date of grant. The Administrator will have the discretion to determine other terms and conditions of stock appreciation rights.

        Restricted Stock Awards—A restricted stock award is a grant of shares of Class A common stock subject to a risk of forfeiture, performance conditions, restrictions on transferability and any other restrictions imposed by the Administrator in its discretion. Restrictions may lapse at such times and under such circumstances as determined by the Administrator. Except as otherwise provided under the terms of the 2017 Plan or an award agreement, the holder of a restricted stock award will have rights

123


Table of Contents

as a stockholder, including the right to vote the Class A common stock subject to the restricted stock award or to receive dividends on the Class A common stock subject to the restricted stock award during the restriction period. The Administrator shall provide, in the restricted stock award agreement, whether the restricted stock will be forfeited upon certain terminations of employment. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, Class A common stock distributed in connection with a stock split or stock dividend, and other property distributed as a dividend, will be subject to restrictions and a risk of forfeiture to the same extent as the restricted stock award with respect to which such Class A common stock or other property has been distributed.

        Restricted Stock Units—Restricted stock units are rights to receive Class A common stock, cash, or a combination of both at the end of a specified period. The Administrator may subject restricted stock units to restrictions (which may include a risk of forfeiture) to be specified in the restricted stock unit award agreement, and those restrictions may lapse at such times determined by the Administrator. Restricted stock units may be settled by delivery of Class A common stock, cash equal to the fair market value of the specified number of shares of Class A common stock covered by the restricted stock units, or any combination thereof determined by the Administrator at the date of grant or thereafter. Dividend equivalents on the specified number of shares of Class A common stock covered by restricted stock units may be paid on a current, deferred or contingent basis, as determined by the Administrator on or following the date of grant.

        Bonus Stock Awards—The Administrator will be authorized to grant Class A common stock as a bonus stock award. The Administrator will determine any terms and conditions applicable to grants of Class A common stock, including performance criteria, if any, associated with a bonus stock award.

        Performance Awards—The vesting, exercise or settlement of awards may be subject to achievement of one or more performance criteria set forth in the 2017 Plan. One or more of the following performance criteria for the Company, on a consolidated basis, and/or for specified subsidiaries, may be used by the Administrator in establishing performance goals for such performance awards: (1) revenues, sales or other income; (2) cash flow, discretionary cash flow, cash flows from operations, cash flows from investing activities, and/or cash flows from financing activities; (3) return on net assets, return on assets, return on investment, return on capital, return on capital employed or return on equity; (4) income, operating income or net income; (5) earnings or earnings margin determined before or after any one or more of depletion, depreciation and amortization expense; exploration and abandonments; impairment of oil and gas properties; impairment of inventory and other property and equipment; accretion of discount on asset retirement obligations; interest expense; net gain or loss on the disposition of assets; income or loss from discontinued operations, net of tax; noncash derivative related activity; amortization of stock-based compensation; income taxes; or other items; (6) equity; net worth; tangible net worth; book capitalization; debt; debt, net of cash and cash equivalents; capital budget or other balance sheet goals; (7) debt or equity financings or improvement of financial ratings; (8) production volumes, production growth, or debt-adjusted production growth, which may be of oil, gas, natural gas liquids or any combination thereof; (9) general and administrative expenses; (10) proved reserves, reserve replacement, drillbit reserve replacement and/or reserve growth; (11) exploration/finding and/or development costs, capital expenditures, drillbit finding and development costs, operating costs (including lease operating expenses, severance taxes and other production taxes, gathering and transportation and other components of operating expenses), base operating costs, or production costs; (12) net asset value; (13) fair market value of our Class A common stock, share price, share price appreciation, total stockholder return or payments of dividends; (14) achievement of savings from business improvement projects and achievement of capital projects deliverables; (15) working capital or working capital changes; (16) operating profit or net operating profit; (17) internal research or development programs; (18) geographic business expansion; (19) corporate development (including licenses, innovation, research or establishment of third party collaborations); (20) performance against environmental, ethics or sustainability targets; (21) safety

performance and/or incident rate; (22) human resources management targets, including medical cost reductions, employee satisfaction or retention, workforce diversity and time to hire; (23) satisfactory internal or external audits; (24) consummation, implementation or completion of a change in control or other strategic partnerships, transactions, projects, processes or initiatives or other goals relating to acquisitions or divestitures (in whole or in part), joint ventures or strategic alliances; (25) regulatory approvals or other regulatory milestones; (26) legal compliance or risk reduction; (27) drilling results; (28) market share; (29) economic value added; or (30) cost reduction targets. The Administrator may also use any of the above goals determined on an absolute or relative basis or as compared to the performance of a published or special index deemed applicable by the Administrator including, but not limited to, the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index or a group of comparable companies. At the time a performance goal is established with respect to an award, the Administrator may also exclude the impact of one or more events or occurrences, as specified by the Administrator, so long such events or occurrences are objective determinable, and further provided that any such adjustment would not cause an award intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code to fail to so qualify.

        Performance awards granted to eligible persons who are deemed by the Administrator to be "covered employees" pursuant to section 162(m) of the Code shall be administered in accordance with the rules and regulations issued under section 162(m) of the Code. The Administrator may also impose individual performance criteria on the awards, which, if required for compliance with section 162(m) of the Code, will be approved by our stockholders.

        Dividend Equivalents—Dividend equivalents entitle a participant to receive cash, Class A common stock, other awards or other property equal in value to dividends paid with respect to a specified number of shares of our Class A common stock, or other periodic payments at the discretion of the Administrator. Dividend equivalents may be granted on a free-standing basis or in connection with another award (other than a restricted stock award or a bonus stock award).

        Other Stock-Based Awards—Other stock-based awards are awards denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, the value of our Class A common stock.

        Cash Awards—Cash awards may be granted on a free-standing basis, as an element of or a supplement to, or in lieu of any other award.

        Substitute Awards—Awards may be granted in substitution or exchange for any other award granted under the 2017 Plan or under another equity incentive plan or any other right of an eligible person to receive payment from us. Awards may also be granted under the 2017 Plan in substitution for similar awards held for individuals who become participants as a result of a merger, consolidation or acquisition of another entity by or with the Company or one of our affiliates.

        Certain Transactions.    If any change is made to our capitalization, such as a stock split, stock combination, stock dividend, exchange of shares or other recapitalization, merger or otherwise, which results in an increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock, appropriate adjustments will be made by the Administrator in the shares subject to an award under the 2017 Plan. The Administrator will also have the discretion to make certain adjustments to awards in the event of a change in control, such as accelerating the vesting or exercisability of awards, requiring the surrender of an award, with or without consideration, or making any other adjustment or modification to the award that the Administrator determines is appropriate in light of such transaction.

        Plan Amendment and Termination.    Our board of directors may amend or terminate the 2017 Plan at any time; however, stockholder approval will be required for any amendment to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law or exchange listing standards. The Administrator will not have the authority, without the approval of stockholders, to amend any outstanding stock option or stock

125

appreciation right to reduce its exercise price per share. The 2017 Plan will remain in effect for a period of ten years (unless earlier terminated by our board of directors).

        Clawback.    All awards under the 2017 Plan will be subject to any clawback or recapture policy adopted by the Company, as in effect from time to time.


Director Compensation

        Our board of directors was formed in February 2017 and we do not currently provide any compensation to the members of our board of directors for their services. Going forward, we believe that attracting and retaining qualified non-employee directors will be critical to the future value of our growth and governance. Accordingly, following the completion of this offering, we expect to provide our non-employee directors (other than directors who are employees of CSL) with an annual compensation package comprised of a cash component and, in order to align the interests of such non-employee directors with our stockholders, an equity-based award component. We also expect that all members of our board of directors will be reimbursed for certain reasonable expenses in connection with their services to us.

OUR HISTORY AND CORPORATE REORGANIZATION

        Ranger Services was, through Ranger Holdings, formed by CSL in June 2014 as a provider of high-spec well service rigs and associated services. Torrent Services was, through Torrent Holdings, acquired by CSL in September 2014 as a provider of proprietary, modular equipment for the processing of natural gas. In June 2016, CSL indirectly acquired substantially all of the assets of Magna, a provider of well services and wireline services, which it contributed to Ranger Services in September 2016. In October 2016, Ranger Services acquired substantially all of the assets of Bayou, an owner and operator of high-spec well service rigs. The historical combined consolidated financial information of our Predecessor included in this prospectus presents the historical financial information of the Predecessor Companies, including, as applicable, the results of operations of Magna and Bayou for periods subsequent to their respective acquisitions.

        Ranger Inc. was incorporated as a Delaware corporation in February 2017. Following this offering and the corporate reorganization described below, Ranger Inc. will be a holding company, the sole material assets of which will consist of membership interests in Ranger LLC. Ranger LLC will own all of the outstanding equity interests in Ranger Services and Torrent Services, the subsidiaries through which it will operate its assets. After the consummation of the corporate reorganization described below, Ranger Inc. will be the sole managing member of Ranger LLC, will be responsible for all operational, management and administrative decisions relating to Ranger LLC's business and will consolidate the financial results of Ranger LLC and its subsidiaries.

        In connection with this offering, the Existing Owners will effect a series of restructuring transactions, as a result of which (a) Ranger Holdings II and Torrent Holdings II will contribute certain of the equity interests in the Predecessor Companies to Ranger LLC in exchange for an aggregate of                shares of Class A common stock, (b) Ranger Holdings and Torrent Holdings will contribute the remaining membership interests in the Predecessor Companies to Ranger LLC in exchange for        units in Ranger LLC ("Ranger Units"), (c) Ranger Inc. will issue and contribute                shares of its Class B common stock and all of the net proceeds received by it in this offering to Ranger LLC in exchange for                Ranger Units and (d) Ranger LLC will distribute to each of Ranger Holdings and Torrent Holdings one share of Class B common stock for each Ranger Unit such Existing Owner holds. To the extent the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full or in part, Ranger Inc. will contribute the net proceeds received by it therefrom to Ranger LLC in exchange for an additional number of Ranger Units equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock issued by it pursuant to the underwriters' option. Ranger LLC will use such net proceeds to purchase from Ranger Holdings and Torrent Holdings an aggregate number of Ranger Units equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock issued by Ranger Inc. pursuant to the underwriters' option.

        After giving effect to these transactions and the offering contemplated by this prospectus, Ranger Inc. will own an approximate        % interest in Ranger LLC (or         % if the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full) and the Existing Owners will own an approximate        % interest in Ranger LLC (or         % if the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full). Please see "Principal and Selling Shareholders" and "Use of Proceeds."

        Each share of Class B common stock has no economic rights but entitles its holder to one vote on all matters to be voted on by shareholders generally. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will vote together as a single class on all matters presented to our shareholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by applicable law or by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation. We do not intend to list our Class B common stock on any exchange.

        Following this offering, under the Ranger LLC Agreement, each Ranger Unit Holder will, subject to certain limitations, have the right, pursuant to the Redemption Right, to cause Ranger LLC to acquire all or a portion of its Ranger Units (along with a corresponding number of shares of our

127


Table of Contents

Class B common stock) for, at Ranger LLC's election, (i) shares of our Class A common stock at a redemption ratio of one share of Class A common stock for each Ranger Unit redeemed, subject to conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and other similar transactions, or (ii) cash in an amount equal to the Cash Election Value of such Class A common stock. We will determine whether to issue shares of Class A common stock or cash based on facts in existence at the time of the decision, which we expect would include trading prices for the Class A common stock at the time relative to the cash purchase price for the Ranger Units, the availability of other sources of liquidity (such as an issuance of preferred stock) to acquire the Ranger Units and alternative uses for such cash. Alternatively, upon the exercise of the Redemption Right, Ranger Inc. (instead of Ranger LLC) will have the right, pursuant to the Call Right, to, for administrative convenience, acquire each tendered Ranger Unit directly from the redeeming Ranger Unit Holder for, at its election, (x) one share of Class A common stock or (y) cash in an amount equal to the value of a share of Class A common stock, based on a volume-weighted average price. In addition, upon a change of control of us, we have the right to require each Ranger Unit Holder (other than us) to exercise its Redemption Right with respect to some or all of such unitholder's Ranger Units. In connection with any redemption of Ranger Units pursuant to the Redemption Right or our Call Right, the corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock will be cancelled. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Ranger LLC Agreement."

        Our acquisition (or deemed acquisition for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of Ranger Units pursuant to an exercise of the Redemption Right or the Call Right is expected to result in adjustments to the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Ranger LLC, and such adjustments will be allocated to us. These adjustments would not have been available to us absent our acquisition or deemed acquisition of Ranger Units and are expected to reduce the amount of cash tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future.

        In connection with the closing of this offering, we will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement with the TRA Holders. The Tax Receivable Agreement will generally provide for the payment by Ranger Inc. to each TRA Holder of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax and franchise tax that Ranger Inc. actually realizes (computed using the estimated impact of state and local taxes) or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances in periods after this offering as a result of (i) certain increases in tax basis that occur as a result of Ranger Inc.'s acquisition (or deemed acquisition for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of all or a portion of such TRA Holder's Ranger Units in connection with this offering or pursuant to the exercise of the Redemption Right or the Call Right and (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by Ranger Inc. as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, any payments Ranger Inc. makes under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Ranger Inc. will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of these cash savings.

        Payments will generally be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement as we realize actual cash tax savings in periods after this offering from the tax benefits covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement. However, if we experience a change of control (as defined under the Tax Receivable Agreement, which includes certain mergers, asset sales and other forms of business combinations) or the Tax Receivable Agreement terminates early (at our election or as a result of our breach), we would be required to make a substantial, immediate lump-sum payment, and such payment may be significantly in advance of, and may materially exceed, the actual realization, if any, of the future tax benefits to which the payment relates. Ranger Inc. is a holding company and accordingly will be dependent upon distributions from Ranger LLC to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. It is expected that payments will continue to be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement for more than 20 to 25 years. For additional information regarding the Tax Receivable Agreement, see "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Corporate Reorganization and Resulting Structure" and "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Tax Receivable Agreement."

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Ranger LLC Agreement

        The Ranger LLC Agreement is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and the following description of the Ranger LLC Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference thereto.

Redemption Rights

        Following this offering, under the Ranger LLC Agreement, the Ranger Unit Holders will, subject to certain limitations, have the right, pursuant to the Redemption Right, to cause Ranger LLC to acquire all or a portion of their Ranger Units (along with a corresponding number of shares of our Class B common stock) for, at Ranger LLC's election, (i) shares of our Class A common stock at a redemption ratio of one share of Class A common stock for each Ranger Unit redeemed, subject to conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and other similar transactions, or (ii) cash in an amount equal to the Cash Election Value of such Class A common stock. We will determine whether to issue shares of Class A common stock or cash in an amount equal to the Cash Election Value based on facts in existence at the time of the decision, which we expect would include the trading prices for the Class A common stock at the time relative to the cash purchase price for the Ranger Units, the availability of other sources of liquidity (such as an issuance of preferred stock) to acquire the Ranger Units and alternative uses for such cash. Alternatively, upon the exercise of the Redemption Right, Ranger Inc. (instead of Ranger LLC) will have the right, pursuant to the Call Right, to, for administrative convenience, acquire each tendered Ranger Unit directly from such Ranger Unit Holder for, at its election, (x) one share of Class A common stock or (y) cash in an amount equal to the value of a share of Class A common stock, based on a volume-weighted average price. In addition, upon a change of control of us, we have the right to require each Ranger Unit Holder (other than us) to exercise its Redemption Right with respect to some or all of such unitholder's Ranger Units. As the Ranger Unit Holders redeem their Ranger Units, our membership interest in Ranger LLC will be correspondingly increased, the number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding will be increased, and the number of shares of Class B common stock outstanding will be reduced.

        Our acquisition (or deemed acquisition for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of Ranger Units pursuant to an exercise of the Redemption Right or the Call Right is expected to result in adjustments to the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Ranger LLC, and such adjustments will be allocated to us. These adjustments would not have been available to us absent our acquisition or deemed acquisition of Ranger Units and are expected to reduce the amount of cash tax that we would otherwise be required to pay in the future.

        "Cash Election Value" means, with respect to the shares of Class A common stock to be delivered to the redeeming Ranger Unit Holder by us pursuant to our Call Right, the amount that would be received if the number of shares of Class A common stock to which the redeeming Ranger Unit Holder would otherwise be entitled were sold at a per share price equal to the trailing 10-day volume weighted average price of a share of Class A common stock on such redemption, net of actual or deemed offering expenses.

Distributions and Allocations

        Under the Ranger LLC Agreement, we will have the right to determine when distributions will be made to the Ranger Unit Holders and the amount of any such distributions. Following this offering, if we authorize a distribution, such distribution will be made to the Ranger Unit Holders generally on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage ownership of Ranger Units.

130


Table of Contents

        Ranger LLC will allocate its net income or net loss for each year to the Ranger Unit Holders pursuant to the terms of the Ranger LLC Agreement, and the Ranger Unit Holders, including Ranger Inc., will generally incur U.S. federal, state and local income taxes on their share of any taxable income of Ranger LLC. Net income and losses of Ranger LLC generally will be allocated to the Ranger Unit Holders on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective percentage ownership of Ranger Units, subject to requirements under U.S. federal income tax law that certain items of income, gain, loss or deduction be allocated disproportionately in certain circumstances. To the extent Ranger LLC has available cash and subject to the terms of any future debt instruments, we intend to cause Ranger LLC to make (i) generally pro rata distributions to the Ranger Unit Holders, including Ranger Inc., in an amount at least sufficient to allow us to pay our taxes and make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that we will enter into with the Ranger Unit Holders in connection with the closing of this offering and any subsequent tax receivable agreements that we may enter into in connection with future acquisitions and (ii) non-pro rata payments to Ranger Inc. at least sufficient to reimburse us for our corporate and other overhead expenses.

Issuance of Equity

        The Ranger LLC Agreement will provide that, except as otherwise determined by us, at any time Ranger Inc. issues a share of its Class A common stock or any other equity security, the net proceeds received by Ranger Inc. with respect to such issuance, if any, shall be concurrently invested in Ranger LLC, and Ranger LLC shall issue to Ranger Inc. one Ranger Unit or other economically equivalent equity interest. Conversely, if at any time, any shares of Ranger Inc.'s Class A common stock are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired, Ranger LLC shall redeem, repurchase or otherwise acquire an equal number of Ranger Units held by Ranger Inc., upon the same terms and for the same price, as the shares of our Class A common stock are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired.

Competition

        Under the Ranger LLC Agreement, the members have agreed that CSL and its affiliates will be permitted to engage in business activities or invest in or acquire businesses that may compete with our business or do business with our customers.

Dissolution

        Ranger LLC will be dissolved only upon the first to occur of (i) the sale of substantially all of its assets or (ii) an election by us to dissolve the company. Upon dissolution, Ranger LLC will be liquidated and the proceeds from any liquidation will be applied and distributed in the following manner: (a) first, to creditors (including to the extent permitted by law, creditors who are members) in satisfaction of the liabilities of Ranger LLC, (b) second, to establish cash reserves for contingent or unforeseen liabilities and (c) third, to the members in proportion to the number of Ranger Units owned by each of them.


Tax Receivable Agreement

        As described in "Corporate Reorganization," the Ranger Unit Holders may redeem their Ranger Units for shares of Class A common stock or cash, as applicable, in the future pursuant to the Redemption Right or the Call Right. Ranger LLC intends to make for itself (and for each of its direct or indirect subsidiaries that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that it controls) an election under Section 754 of the Code that will be effective for the taxable year of this offering and each taxable year in which a redemption of Ranger Units pursuant to the Redemption Right or the Call Right occurs. Pursuant to the Section 754 election, our acquisition (or deemed acquisition for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of Ranger Units as a part of the corporate reorganization and redemptions of Ranger Units pursuant to the Redemption Right or the Call Right

131


Table of Contents

are expected to result in adjustments to the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Ranger LLC. These adjustments will be allocated to Ranger Inc. Such adjustments to the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Ranger LLC would not have been available to Ranger Inc. absent its acquisition or deemed acquisition of Ranger Units as part of the reorganization transactions or pursuant to the exercise of the Redemption Right or the Call Right. The anticipated tax basis adjustments are expected to increase (for tax purposes) Ranger Inc.'s depreciation, depletion and amortization deductions and may also decrease Ranger Inc.'s gains (or increase its losses) on future dispositions of certain assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those assets. Such increased deductions and losses and reduced gains may reduce the amount of tax that Ranger Inc. would otherwise be required to pay in the future.

        Ranger Inc. will enter into the Tax Receivable Agreement with the TRA Holders at the closing of this offering. This agreement will generally provide for the payment by Ranger Inc. to each TRA Holder of 85% of the net cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state and local income tax and franchise tax that Ranger Inc. actually realizes (computed using the estimated impact of state and local taxes) or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances in periods after this offering as a result of (i) certain increases in tax basis that occur as a result of Ranger Inc.'s acquisition (or deemed acquisition for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of all or a portion of such TRA Holder's Ranger Units in connection with this offering or pursuant to an exercise of the Redemption Right or the Call Right and (ii) imputed interest deemed to be paid by Ranger Inc. as a result of, and additional tax basis arising from, any payments Ranger Inc. makes under the Tax Receivable Agreement. We will retain the benefit of the remaining 15% of the cash savings. Certain of the TRA Holders' rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement are transferable in connection with a permitted transfer of Ranger Units or if the TRA Holder no longer holds Ranger Units.

        The payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement are Ranger Inc.'s obligations and not obligations of Ranger LLC, and we expect that the payments we will be required to make under the Tax Receivable Agreement will be substantial. Estimating the amount and timing of payments that may become due under the Tax Receivable Agreement is by its nature imprecise. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, cash savings in tax generally will be calculated by comparing Ranger Inc.'s actual tax liability (computed using the estimated impact of state and local taxes) to the amount it would have been required to pay had it not been able to utilize any of the tax benefits subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. The actual increase in tax basis, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of the redemptions of Ranger Units, the price of our Class A common stock at the time of each redemption, the extent to which such redemptions are taxable transactions, the amount of the redeeming Ranger Unit Holder's tax basis in its Ranger Units at the time of the relevant redemption, the depreciation and amortization periods that apply to the increase in tax basis, the amount, character and timing of the taxable income we generate in the future, the U.S. federal income tax rates then applicable, and the portion of our payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that constitute imputed interest or give rise to depreciable or amortizable tax basis.

        Assuming no material changes in the relevant tax law, we expect that if the Tax Receivable Agreement were terminated immediately after this offering (assuming $            per share as the initial offering price to the public), the estimated termination payments, based on the assumptions discussed below, would be approximately $             million (calculated using a discount rate equal to one-year LIBOR plus                basis points, applied against an undiscounted liability of $             million).

        Reductions in U.S. federal corporate income tax rates are currently being considered. If the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate was reduced to 25% and all other assumptions were held constant, the estimated termination payments would be approximately $             million (calculated using a discount rate equal to one-year LIBOR plus                basis points, applied against an undiscounted liability of $             million).

Table of Contents

        A delay in the timing of redemptions of Ranger LLC Units, holding other assumptions constant, would be expected to decrease the discounted value of the amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement as the benefit of the depreciation and amortization deductions would be delayed and the estimated increase in tax basis could be reduced as a result of allocations of Ranger LLC taxable income to the redeeming Ranger Unit Holder prior to the redemption. Stock price increases or decreases at the time of each redemption of Ranger LLC Units would be expected to result in a corresponding increase or decrease in the undiscounted amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement in an amount equal to 85% of the tax-effected change in price. The amounts payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement are dependent upon Ranger Inc. having sufficient future taxable income to utilize the tax benefits on which it is required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. If Ranger Inc.'s projected taxable income is significantly reduced, the expected payments would be reduced to the extent such tax benefits do not result in a reduction of Ranger Inc.'s future income tax liabilities.

        The foregoing amounts are merely estimates and the actual payments could differ materially. It is possible that future transactions or events could increase or decrease the actual tax benefits realized and the corresponding Tax Receivable Agreement payments as compared to the foregoing estimates. Moreover, there may be a negative impact on our liquidity if, as a result of timing discrepancies or otherwise, (i) the payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement exceed the actual benefits we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement and/or (ii) distributions to Ranger Inc. by Ranger LLC are not sufficient to permit Ranger Inc. to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement after it has paid its taxes and other obligations. Please see "Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Corporate Reorganization and Resulting Structure—In certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits, if any, we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement." The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement will not be conditioned upon a holder of rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement having a continued ownership interest in either Ranger LLC or Ranger Inc.

        In addition, although we are not aware of any issue that would cause the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or other relevant tax authorities to challenge potential tax basis increases or other tax benefits covered under the Tax Receivable Agreement, the TRA Holders will not reimburse us for any payments previously made under the Tax Receivable Agreement if such basis increases or other benefits are subsequently disallowed, except that excess payments made to any such holder will be netted against payments otherwise to be made, if any, to such holder after any determination of such excess. As a result, in such circumstances, Ranger Inc. could make payments that are greater than its actual cash tax savings, if any, and may not be able to recoup those payments, which could adversely affect its liquidity.

        The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will commence upon the completion of this offering and will continue until all tax benefits that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement have been utilized or expired, unless we exercise our right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement (or the Tax Receivable Agreement is terminated due to other circumstances, including our breach of a material obligation thereunder or certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combination or other changes of control). It is expected that payments will continue to be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement for more than 20 to 25 years. If we elect to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early (or it is terminated early due to other circumstances, including our breach of a material obligation thereunder or certain mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes of control), our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement would accelerate and we would be required to make an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future payments to be made by us under the Tax Receivable Agreement (determined by applying a discount rate of one-year LIBOR plus                basis points). The calculation of anticipated future payments will be based upon certain assumptions and deemed events set forth in the Tax Receivable Agreement, including the assumptions that (i) we have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the tax benefits

133


Table of Contents

covered by the Tax Receivable Agreement (including having sufficient taxable income to currently utilize any accumulated net operating loss carryforwards) and (ii) any Ranger Units (other than those held by Ranger Inc.) outstanding on the termination date are deemed to be redeemed on the termination date. Any early termination payment may be made significantly in advance of the actual realization, if any, of the future tax benefits to which the termination payment relates.

        The Tax Receivable Agreement provides that in the event that we breach any of our material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, whether as a result of (i) our failure to make any payment when due (including in cases where we elect to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early, the Tax Receivable Agreement is terminated early due to certain mergers, asset sales, or other forms of business combinations or changes of control or we have available cash but fail to make payments when due under circumstances where we do not have the right to elect to defer the payment, as described below), (ii) our failure to honor any other material obligation under it or (iii) by operation of law as a result of the rejection of the Tax Receivable Agreement in a case commenced under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, then the TRA Holders may elect to treat such breach as an early termination, which would cause all our payment and other obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement to be accelerated and become due and payable applying the same assumptions described above.

        As a result of either an early termination or a change of control, we could be required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that exceed our actual cash tax savings under the Tax Receivable Agreement. In these situations, our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement could have a substantial negative impact on our liquidity and could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing certain mergers, asset sales, or other forms of business combinations or changes of control that could be in the best interests of holders of our Class A common stock.

        Decisions we make in the course of running our business, such as with respect to mergers, asset sales, other forms of business combinations or other changes in control, may influence the timing and amount of payments that are received by the TRA Holders under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For example, the earlier disposition of assets following a redemption of Ranger Units may accelerate payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and increase the present value of such payments, and the disposition of assets before a redemption of Ranger Units may increase the TRA Holders' tax liability without giving rise to any rights of the TRA Holders to receive payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. In addition, our ability to settle audits or other proceedings related to taxes will be subject to the consent of the TRA Holders to the extent such settlement could have a material effect on the TRA Holders' rights under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Such effects and such consent rights may result in differences or conflicts of interest between the interests of the TRA Holders and other shareholders.

        Payments generally are due under the Tax Receivable Agreement within 30 days following the finalization of the schedule with respect to which the payment obligation is calculated. However, interest on such payments will begin to accrue from the due date (without extensions) of our U.S. federal income tax return for the period to which such payments relate until such payment due date at a rate equal to one-year LIBOR plus                basis points. Except in cases where we elect to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early or it is otherwise terminated as described above, generally we may elect to defer payments due under the Tax Receivable Agreement if we do not have available cash to satisfy our payment obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement or if our contractual obligations limit our ability to make these payments. Any such deferred payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement generally will accrue interest from the due date for such payment until the payment date at a rate of one-year LIBOR plus                basis points. However, interest will accrue from the due date for such payment until the payment date at a rate equal to the highest rate under our                plus                basis points if we are unable to make such payment as a result of

134


Table of Contents

limitations imposed by existing credit agreements. We have no present intention to defer payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

        Because we are a holding company with no operations of our own, our ability to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement is dependent on the ability of Ranger LLC to make distributions to us in an amount sufficient to cover our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement. This ability, in turn, may depend on the ability of Ranger LLC's subsidiaries to make distributions to it. The ability of Ranger LLC, its subsidiaries and other entities in which it directly or indirectly holds an equity interest to make such distributions will be subject to, among other things, (i) the applicable provisions of Delaware law (or other applicable jurisdiction) that may limit the amount of funds available for distribution and (ii) restrictions in relevant debt instruments entered into by Ranger LLC or its subsidiaries and/other entities in which it directly or indirectly holds an equity interest. To the extent that we are unable to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for any reason, such payments will be deferred and will accrue interest until paid.

        The form of the Tax Receivable Agreement is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part, and the foregoing description of the Tax Receivable Agreement is qualified by reference thereto.


Registration Rights Agreement

        In connection with the closing of this offering, we will enter into a registration rights agreement with the Existing Owners. We expect that the agreement will contain provisions by which we agree to register under the federal securities laws the offer and resale of shares of our Class A common stock by the Existing Owners or certain of their affiliates or permitted transferees under the registration rights agreement. These registration rights will be subject to certain conditions and limitations. We will generally be obligated to pay all registration expenses in connection with these registration obligations, regardless of whether a registration statement is filed or becomes effective.

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

        Upon completion of this offering, the authorized capital stock of Ranger Inc. will consist of                shares of Class A common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of which                shares will be issued and outstanding,                 shares of Class B common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of which                 shares will be issued and outstanding and                shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, of which no shares will be issued and outstanding.

        The following summary of the capital stock and amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Ranger Inc. does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions of applicable law and to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and by-laws, which will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.


Class A Common Stock

        Voting Rights.    Holders of shares of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share held of record on all matters to be voted upon by the shareholders. The holders of Class A common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

        Dividend Rights.    Holders of shares of our Class A common stock are entitled to ratably receive dividends when and if declared by our board of directors out of funds legally available for that purpose, subject to any statutory or contractual restrictions on the payment of dividends and to any prior rights and preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock.

        Liquidation Rights.    Upon our liquidation, dissolution, distribution of assets or other winding up, the holders of Class A common stock are entitled to receive ratably the assets available for distribution to the shareholders after payment of liabilities and the liquidation preference of any of our outstanding shares of preferred stock.

        Other Matters.    The shares of Class A common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights and are not subject to further calls or assessment by us. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class A common stock. All outstanding shares of our Class A common stock, including the Class A common stock offered in this offering, are fully paid and non-assessable.


Class B Common Stock

        Generally.    In connection with the reorganization and this offering, each Existing Owner will receive one share of Class B common stock for each Ranger Unit that it holds. Accordingly, each Existing Owner will have a number of votes in Ranger Inc. equal to the aggregate number of Ranger Units that it holds.

        Voting Rights.    Holders of shares of our Class B common stock are entitled to one vote per share held of record on all matters to be voted upon by the shareholders. Holders of shares of our Class A common stock and Class B common stock vote together as a single class on all matters presented to our shareholders for their vote or approval, except with respect to the amendment of certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation that would alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Class B common stock so as to affect them adversely, which amendments must be by a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of the shares affected by the amendment, voting as a separate class, or as otherwise required by applicable law.

        Dividend and Liquidation Rights.    Holders of our Class B common stock do not have any right to receive dividends, unless the dividend consists of shares of our Class B common stock or of rights, options, warrants or other securities convertible or exercisable into or exchangeable or redeemable for shares of Class B common stock paid proportionally with respect to each outstanding share of our Class B common stock and a dividend consisting of shares of Class A common stock or of rights,

139


Table of Contents

options, warrants or other securities convertible or exercisable into or exchangeable or redeemable for shares of Class A common stock on the same terms is simultaneously paid to the holders of Class A common stock. Holders of our Class B common stock do not have any right to receive a distribution upon a liquidation or winding up of Ranger Inc.


Preferred Stock

        Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation authorizes our board of directors, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further shareholder approval, to establish and to issue from time to time one or more classes or series of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, covering up to an aggregate of             shares of preferred stock. Each class or series of preferred stock will cover the number of shares and will have the powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions determined by the board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, liquidation preferences, voting rights, conversion rights, preemptive rights and redemption rights. Except as provided by law or in a preferred stock designation, the holders of preferred stock will not be entitled to vote at or receive notice of any meeting of shareholders.


Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Our
Amended and Restated Bylaws and Delaware Law

        Some provisions of Delaware law, and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws described below, will contain provisions that could make the following transactions more difficult: acquisitions of us by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or otherwise; or removal of our incumbent officers and directors. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. It is possible that these provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish or could deter transactions that shareholders may otherwise consider to be in their best interest or in our best interests, including transactions that might result in a premium over the market price for our shares.

        These provisions, summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with us. We believe that the benefits of increased protection and our potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging these proposals because, among other things, negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Delaware Law

        We will not be subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL, regulating corporate takeovers. In general, those provisions prohibit a Delaware corporation, including those whose securities are listed for trading on the NYSE, from engaging in any business combination with any interested shareholder for a period of three years following the date that the shareholder became an interested shareholder, unless:

    the transaction is approved by the board of directors before the date the interested shareholder attained that status;

    upon consummation of the transaction that resulted in the shareholder becoming an interested shareholder, the interested shareholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced; or

    on or after such time the business combination is approved by the board of directors and authorized at a meeting of shareholders by at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock that is not owned by the interested shareholder.

Table of Contents

Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

        Provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws, which will become effective upon the closing of this offering, may delay or discourage transactions involving an actual or potential change in control or change in our management, including transactions in which shareholders might otherwise receive a premium for their shares, or transactions that our shareholders might otherwise deem to be in their best interests. Therefore, these provisions could adversely affect the price of our Class A common stock.

        Among other things, upon the completion of this offering, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws will:

    establish advance notice procedures with regard to shareholder proposals relating to the nomination of candidates for election as directors or new business to be brought before meetings of our shareholders. These procedures provide that notice of shareholder proposals must be timely given in writing to our corporate secretary prior to the meeting at which the action is to be taken. Generally, to be timely, notice must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the annual meeting for the preceding year. Our amended and restated bylaws specify the requirements as to form and content of all shareholders' notices. These requirements may preclude shareholders from bringing matters before the shareholders at an annual or special meeting;

    provide our board of directors the ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock. This ability makes it possible for our board of directors to issue, without shareholder approval, preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to change control of us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our company;

    provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors;

    provide that, after CSL and its affiliates no longer collectively hold more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock, all vacancies, including newly created directorships, may, except as otherwise required by law or, if applicable, the rights of holders of a series of preferred stock, be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum (prior to such time, vacancies may also be filled by shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote);

    provide that, after CSL and its affiliates no longer collectively hold more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock, any action required or permitted to be taken by the shareholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of shareholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing in lieu of a meeting of such shareholders, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock with respect to such series;

    provide that, after CSL and its affiliates no longer collectively hold more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may be amended by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of our then-outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote thereon;

    provide that, after CSL and its affiliates no longer collectively hold more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock, special meetings of our shareholders may only be called by the board of directors;

    provide, after CSL and its affiliates no longer collectively hold more than 50% of the voting power of our common stock, for our board of directors to be divided into three classes of directors, with each class as nearly equal in number as possible, serving staggered three-year

141


Table of Contents

      terms, other than directors that may be elected by holders of preferred stock, if any. This system of electing and removing directors may tend to discourage a third party from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to obtain control of us, because it generally makes it more difficult for shareholders to replace a majority of the directors;

    provide that we renounce any interest in existing and future investments in other entities by, or the business opportunities of, CSL and its affiliates and that they have no obligation to offer us those investments or opportunities; and

    provide that our amended and restated bylaws can be amended by the board of directors.


Forum Selection

        Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for:

    any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf;

    any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers, employees or agents to us or our shareholders;

    any action asserting a claim against us or any director or officer or other employee of ours arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or our amended and restated bylaws; or

    any action asserting a claim against us or any director or officer or other employee of ours that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine;

in each such case, subject to such Court of Chancery having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants therein.

        Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will also provide that any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock will be deemed to have notice of, and to have consented to, this forum selection provision.

        Although we believe these provisions will benefit us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law for the specified types of actions and proceedings, the provisions may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against our directors, officers, employees and agents. The enforceability of similar exclusive forum provisions in other companies' certificates of incorporation has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that, in connection with one or more actions or proceedings described above, a court could rule that this provision in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation is inapplicable or unenforceable.


Limitation of Liability and Indemnification Matters

        Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will limit the liability of our directors for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liability that cannot be eliminated under the DGCL. Delaware law provides that directors of a company will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duty as directors, except for liabilities:

    for any breach of their duty of loyalty to us or our shareholders;

    for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

    for unlawful payment of dividend or unlawful stock repurchase or redemption, as provided under Section 174 of the DGCL; or

142


Table of Contents

    for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

        Any amendment, repeal or modification of these provisions will be prospective only and would not affect any limitation on liability of a director for acts or omissions that occurred prior to any such amendment, repeal or modification.

        Our amended and restated bylaws will also provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Our amended and restated bylaws also will permit us to purchase insurance on behalf of any officer, director, employee or other agent for any liability arising out of that person's actions as our officer, director, employee or agent, regardless of whether Delaware law would permit indemnification. We intend to enter into indemnification agreements with each of our current and future directors and officers. These agreements will require us to indemnify these individuals to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law against liability that may arise by reason of their service to us, and to advance expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified. We believe that the limitation of liability provision that will be in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the indemnification agreements will facilitate our ability to continue to attract and retain qualified individuals to serve as directors and officers.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

        Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Class A common stock. Future sales of our Class A common stock in the public market, or the availability of such shares for sale in the public market, could adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock prevailing from time to time. As described below, only a limited number of shares will be available for sale shortly after this offering due to contractual and legal restrictions on resale. Nevertheless, sales of a substantial number of shares of our Class A common stock in the public market after such restrictions lapse, or the perception that those sales may occur, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our Class A common stock at such time and our ability to raise equity-related capital at a time and price we deem appropriate.


Sales of Restricted Shares

        Upon the closing of this offering, we will have outstanding an aggregate of            shares of Class A common stock. Of these shares, all of the            shares of Class A common stock (or            shares of Class A common stock if the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares is exercised) to be sold in this offering will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, unless the shares are held by any of our "affiliates" as such term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act. All remaining shares of Class A common stock held by the Existing Owners will be deemed "restricted securities" as such term is defined under Rule 144. The restricted securities were issued and sold by us in private transactions and are eligible for public sale only if registered under the Securities Act or if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act, which rules are summarized below.

        Following this offering, under the Ranger LLC Agreement, each Ranger Unit Holder will, subject to certain limitations, have the right, pursuant to the Redemption Right, to cause Ranger LLC to acquire all or a portion of its Ranger Units (along with a corresponding number of shares of our Class B common stock) for, at Ranger LLC's election, (i) shares of our Class A common stock at a redemption ratio of one share of Class A common stock for each Ranger Unit redeemed, subject to conversion rate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, reclassification and other similar transactions, or (ii) cash in an amount equal to the Cash Election Value of such Class A common stock. Alternatively, upon the exercise of the Redemption Right, Ranger Inc. (instead of Ranger LLC) will have the right, pursuant to the Call Right, to acquire each tendered Ranger Unit directly from the redeeming Ranger Unit Holder for, at its election, (x) one share of Class A common stock or (y) cash in an amount equal to the value of a share of Class A common stock, based on a volume-weighted average price. In connection with any redemption of Ranger Units pursuant to the Redemption Right or our Call Right, the corresponding number of shares of Class B common stock will be cancelled. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Ranger LLC Agreement." The shares of Class A common stock we issue upon such redemptions would be "restricted securities" as defined in Rule 144 described below. However, upon the closing of this offering, we intend to enter into a registration rights agreement with the Ranger Unit Holders that will require us to register under the Securities Act these shares of Class A common stock. See "Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Registration Rights Agreement."

        As a result of the lock-up agreements described below and the provisions of Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act, the shares of our Class A common stock (excluding the shares to be sold in this offering) that will be available for sale in the public market are as follows:

    no shares will be eligible for sale on the date of this prospectus or prior to 180 days after the date of this prospectus; and

144


Table of Contents

                shares will be eligible for sale upon the expiration of the lock-up agreements, beginning            days after the date of this prospectus when permitted under Rule 144 or Rule 701.


Lock-up Agreements

        We, all of our directors and officers and the selling shareholders have agreed not to sell any Class A common stock for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus, subject to certain exceptions and extensions. See "Underwriting" for a description of these lock-up provisions.


Rule 144

        In general, under Rule 144 under the Securities Act as currently in effect, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six months (including any period of consecutive ownership of preceding non-affiliated holders) would be entitled to sell those shares, subject only to the availability of current public information about us. A non-affiliated person (who has been unaffiliated for at least the past three months) who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least one year would be entitled to sell those shares without regard to the provisions of Rule 144.

        A person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is deemed to be an affiliate of ours and who has beneficially owned restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 for at least six months would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of one percent of the then outstanding shares of our Class A common stock or the average weekly trading volume of our Class A common stock reported through the NYSE during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of notice of the sale. Such sales are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about us.


Rule 701

        In general, under Rule 701 under the Securities Act, any of our employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors who purchase shares from us in connection with a compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement before the effective date of this offering is entitled to sell such shares 90 days after the effective date of this offering in reliance on Rule 144, without having to comply with the holding period requirement of Rule 144 and, in the case of non-affiliates, without having to comply with the public information, volume limitation or notice filing provisions of Rule 144. The SEC has indicated that Rule 701 will apply to typical stock options granted by an issuer before it becomes subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, along with the shares acquired upon exercise of such options, including exercises after the date of this prospectus.


Stock Issued Under Employee Plans

        We intend to file a registration statement on Form S-8 under the Securities Act to register stock issuable under our long-term incentive plan. This registration statement on Form S-8 is expected to be filed following the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and will be effective upon filing. Accordingly, shares registered under such registration statement will be available for sale in the open market following the effective date, unless such shares are subject to vesting restrictions with us or the lock-up restrictions described above.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR NON-U.S. HOLDERS

        The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax considerations related to the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Class A common stock by a non-U.S. holder (as defined below), that holds our Class A common stock as a "capital asset" (generally property held for investment). This summary is based on the provisions of the Code, U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as in effect on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. We have not sought any ruling from the IRS with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will agree with such statements and conclusions.

        This summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be relevant to non-U.S. holders in light of their personal circumstances. In addition, this summary does not address the Medicare tax on certain investment income, U.S. federal estate or gift tax laws, any state, local or non-U.S. tax laws or any tax treaties. This summary also does not address tax considerations applicable to investors that may be subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as:

    banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions;

    tax-exempt or governmental organizations;

    qualified foreign pension funds (or any entities all of the interests of which are held by a qualified foreign pension fund);

    dealers in securities or foreign currencies;

    traders in securities that use the mark-to-market method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes;

    persons subject to the alternative minimum tax;

    partnerships or other pass-through entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes or holders of interests therein;

    persons deemed to sell our Class A common stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code;

    persons that acquired our Class A common stock through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation or through a tax-qualified retirement plan;

    certain former citizens or long-term residents of the United States; and

    persons that hold our Class A common stock as part of a straddle, appreciated financial position, synthetic security, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment or risk reduction transaction.

PROSPECTIVE INVESTORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATION, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, NON-U.S. OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.

Non-U.S. Holder Defined

        For purposes of this discussion, a "non-U.S. holder" is a beneficial owner of our Class A common stock that is not for U.S. federal income tax purposes a partnership or any of the following:

    an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

    a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

    an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of its source; or

    a trust (i) the administration of which is subject to the primary supervision of a U.S. court and which has one or more United States persons who have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (ii) which has made a valid election under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a United States person.

        If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds our Class A common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend upon the status of the partner, upon the activities of the partnership and upon certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, we urge partners in partnerships (including entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) considering the purchase of our Class A common stock to consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax considerations of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our Class A common stock by such partnership.


Distributions

        As described in the section entitled "Dividend Policy," we do not plan to make any distributions on our Class A common stock in the foreseeable future. However, in the event we do make distributions of cash or other property on our Class A common stock, such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent those distributions exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distributions will be treated as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of the non-U.S. holder's tax basis in our Class A common stock and thereafter as capital gain from the sale or exchange of such Class A common stock. See "—Gain on Disposition of Class A Common Stock." Subject to the withholding requirements under FATCA (as defined below) and with respect to effectively connected dividends, each of which is discussed below, any distribution made to a non-U.S. holder on our Class A common stock generally will be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the distribution unless an applicable income tax treaty provides for a lower rate. To receive the benefit of a reduced treaty rate, a non-U.S. holder must provide the applicable withholding agent with an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable or successor form) certifying qualification for the reduced rate.

        Dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder that are effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the non-U.S. holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, are treated as attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States) generally will be taxed on a net income basis at the rates and in the manner generally applicable to United States persons (as defined under the Code). Such effectively connected dividends will not be subject to U.S. withholding tax if the non-U.S. holder satisfies certain certification requirements by providing the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed IRS Form W-8ECI certifying eligibility for exemption. If the non-U.S. holder is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it may also be subject to a branch profits tax (at a 30% rate or such lower

147


Table of Contents

rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on its effectively connected earnings and profits (as adjusted for certain items), which will include effectively connected dividends.


Gain on Disposition of Class A Common Stock

        Subject to the discussion below under "—Backup Withholding and Information Reporting" and "—Additional Withholding Requirements under FATCA," a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other disposition of our Class A common stock unless:

    the non-U.S. holder is an individual who is present in the United States for a period or periods aggregating 183 days or more during the calendar year in which the sale or disposition occurs and certain other conditions are met;

    the gain is effectively connected with a trade or business conducted by the non-U.S. holder in the United States (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. holder in the United States); or

    our Class A common stock constitutes a United States real property interest by reason of our status as a United States real property holding corporation ("USRPHC") for U.S. federal income tax purposes during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition or the non-U.S. holder's holding period for our common stock.

        A non-U.S. holder described in the first bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the amount of such gain, which generally may be offset by U.S. source capital losses.

        A non-U.S. holder whose gain is described in the second bullet point above or, subject to the exceptions described in the next paragraph, the third bullet point above generally will be taxed on a net income basis at the rates and in the manner generally applicable to United States persons (as defined under the Code) unless an applicable income tax treaty provides otherwise. If the non-U.S. holder is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes whose gain is described in the second bullet point above, then such gain would also be included in its effectively connected earnings and profits (as adjusted for certain items), which may be subject to a branch profits tax (at a 30% rate or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty).

        Generally, a corporation is a USRPHC if the fair market value of its United States real property interests equals or exceeds 50% of the sum of the fair market value of its worldwide real property interests and its other assets used or held for use in a trade or business. We believe that we currently are not a USRPHC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and we do not expect to become a USRPHC for the foreseeable future. However, in the event that we become a USRPHC, as long as our Class A common stock is and continues to be regularly traded on an established securities market, only a non-U.S. holder that actually or constructively owns, or owned at any time during the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition or the non-U.S. holder's holding period for the Class A common stock, more than 5% of our Class A common stock will be taxable on gain realized on the disposition of our Class A common stock as a result of our status as a USRPHC. If we were to become a USRPHC and our Class A common stock were not considered to be regularly traded on an established securities market, such holder (regardless of the percentage of stock owned) would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a taxable disposition of our Class A common stock (as described in the preceding paragraph), and a 15% withholding tax would apply to the gross proceeds from such disposition.

        Non-U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors with respect to the application of the foregoing rules to their ownership and disposition of our Class A common stock.

148


Table of Contents


Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

        Any dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder must be reported annually to the IRS and to the non-U.S. holder. Copies of these information returns may be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the non-U.S. holder resides or is established. Payments of dividends to a non-U.S. holder generally will not be subject to backup withholding if the non-U.S. holder establishes an exemption by properly certifying its non-U.S. status on an IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable or successor form).

        Payments of the proceeds from a sale or other disposition by a non-U.S. holder of our Class A common stock effected by or through a U.S. office of a broker generally will be subject to information reporting and backup withholding (at the applicable rate) unless the non-U.S. holder establishes an exemption by properly certifying its non-U.S. status on an IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or other applicable or successor form) and certain other conditions are met. Information reporting and backup withholding generally will not apply to any payment of the proceeds from a sale or other disposition of our Class A common stock effected outside the United States by a non-U.S. office of a broker. However, unless such broker has documentary evidence in its records that the non-U.S. holder is not a United States person and certain other conditions are met, or the non-U.S. holder otherwise establishes an exemption, information reporting will apply to a payment of the proceeds of the disposition of our Class A common stock effected outside the United States by such a broker if it has certain relationships within the United States.

        Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. income tax liability (if any) of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If backup withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained, provided that the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.


Additional Withholding Requirements under FATCA

        Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code, and the U.S. Treasury regulations and administrative guidance issued thereunder ("FATCA"), impose a 30% withholding tax on any dividends paid on our Class A common stock and on the gross proceeds from a disposition of our Class A common stock (if such disposition occurs after December 31, 2018), in each case if paid to a "foreign financial institution" or a "non-financial foreign entity" (each as defined in the Code) (including, in some cases, when such foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity is acting as an intermediary), unless (i) in the case of a foreign financial institution, such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on certain payments, and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax authorities substantial information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which includes certain equity and debt holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are non-U.S. entities with U.S. owners); (ii) in the case of a non-financial foreign entity, such entity certifies that it does not have any "substantial United States owners" (as defined in the Code) or provides the applicable withholding agent with a certification identifying the direct and indirect substantial United States owners of the entity (in either case, generally on an IRS Form W-8BEN-E); or (iii) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules and provides appropriate documentation (such as an IRS Form W-8BEN-E). Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing these rules may be subject to different rules. Under certain circumstances, a holder might be eligible for refunds or credits of such taxes. Non-U.S. holders are encouraged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the effects of FATCA on their investment in our Class A common stock.

INVESTORS CONSIDERING THE PURCHASE OF OUR CLASS A COMMON STOCK ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AND THE APPLICABILITY AND EFFECT OF U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE AND GIFT TAX LAWS AND ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAX LAWS AND TAX TREATIES.

CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

        The following is a summary of certain considerations associated with the acquisition and holding of shares of common stock by employee benefit plans that are subject to Title I of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), plans, individual retirement accounts and other arrangements that are subject to Section 4975 of the Code or employee benefit plans that are governmental plans (as defined in Section 3(32) of ERISA), certain church plans (as defined in Section 3(33) of ERISA), non-U.S. plans (as described in Section 4(b)(4) of ERISA) or other plans that are not subject to the foregoing but may be subject to provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code (collectively, "Similar Laws"), and entities whose underlying assets are considered to include "plan assets" of any such plan, account or arrangement (each, a "Plan").

        This summary is based on the provisions of ERISA and the Code (and related regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations) as of the date of this registration statement. This summary does not purport to be complete, and no assurance can be given that future legislation, court decisions, regulations, rulings or pronouncements will not significantly modify the requirements summarized below. Any of these changes may be retroactive and may thereby apply to transactions entered into prior to the date of their enactment or release. This discussion is general in nature and is not intended to be all inclusive, nor should it be construed as investment or legal advice.


General Fiduciary Matters

        ERISA and the Code impose certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries of a Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (an "ERISA Plan") and prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of an ERISA Plan and its fiduciaries or other interested parties. Under ERISA and the Code, any person who exercises any discretionary authority or control over the administration of an ERISA Plan or the management or disposition of the assets of an ERISA Plan, or who renders investment advice for a fee or other compensation to an ERISA Plan, is generally considered to be a fiduciary of the ERISA Plan.

        In considering an investment in shares of common stock with a portion of the assets of any Plan, a fiduciary should consider the Plan's particular circumstances and all of the facts and circumstances of the investment and determine whether the acquisition and holding of shares of common stock is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the Plan and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code, or any Similar Law relating to the fiduciary's duties to the Plan, including, without limitation:

    whether the investment is prudent under Section 404(a)(1)(B) of ERISA and any other applicable Similar Laws;

    whether, in making the investment, the ERISA Plan will satisfy the diversification requirements of Section 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA and any other applicable Similar Laws;

    whether the investment is permitted under the terms of the applicable documents governing the Plan;

    whether the acquisition or holding of the shares of common stock will constitute a "prohibited transaction" under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (please see discussion under "—Prohibited Transaction Issues" below); and

    whether the Plan will be considered to hold, as plan assets, (i) only shares of common stock or (ii) an undivided interest in our underlying assets (please see the discussion under "—Plan Asset Issues" below).

150


Table of Contents


Prohibited Transaction Issues

        Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans from engaging in specified transactions involving plan assets with persons or entities who are "parties in interest," within the meaning of ERISA, or "disqualified persons," within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, unless an exemption is available. A party in interest or disqualified person who engages in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. In addition, the fiduciary of the ERISA Plan that engages in such a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes, penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. The acquisition and/or holding of shares of common stock by an ERISA Plan with respect to which the issuer or an underwriter is considered a party in interest or a disqualified person may constitute or result in a direct or indirect prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the investment is acquired and is held in accordance with an applicable statutory, class or individual prohibited transaction exemption.

        Because of the foregoing, shares of common stock should not be acquired or held by any person investing "plan assets" of any Plan, unless such acquisition and holding will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA and the Code or a similar violation of any applicable Similar Laws.


Plan Asset Issues

        Additionally, a fiduciary of a Plan should consider whether the Plan will, by investing in us, be deemed to own an undivided interest in our assets, with the result that we would become a fiduciary of the Plan and our operations would be subject to the regulatory restrictions of ERISA, including its prohibited transaction rules, as well as the prohibited transaction rules of the Code and any other applicable Similar Laws.

        The Department of Labor (the "DOL") regulations provide guidance with respect to whether the assets of an entity in which ERISA Plans acquire equity interests would be deemed "plan assets" under some circumstances. Under these regulations, an entity's assets generally would not be considered to be "plan assets" if, among other things:

    (a)
    the equity interests acquired by ERISA Plans are "publicly-offered securities" (as defined in the DOL regulations)—i.e., the equity interests are part of a class of securities that is widely held by 100 or more investors independent of the issuer and each other, are freely transferable, and are either registered under certain provisions of the federal securities laws or sold to the ERISA Plan as part of a public offering under certain conditions;

    (b)
    the entity is an "operating company" (as defined in the DOL regulations)—i.e., it is primarily engaged in the production or sale of a product or service, other than the investment of capital, either directly or through a majority-owned subsidiary or subsidiaries; or

    (c)
    there is no significant investment by "benefit plan investors" (as defined in the DOL regulations)—i.e., immediately after the most recent acquisition by an ERISA Plan of any equity interest in the entity, less than 25% of the total value of each class of equity interest (disregarding certain interests held by persons (other than benefit plan investors) with discretionary authority or control over the assets of the entity or who provide investment advice for a fee (direct or indirect) with respect to such assets, and any affiliates thereof) is held by ERISA Plans, IRAs and certain other Plans (but not including governmental plans, foreign plans and certain church plans), and entities whose underlying assets are deemed to include plan assets by reason of a Plan's investment in the entity.

        Due to the complexity of these rules and the excise taxes, penalties and liabilities that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that

151


Table of Contents

fiduciaries, or other persons considering acquiring and/or holding shares of our common stock on behalf of, or with the assets of, any Plan, consult with their counsel regarding the potential applicability of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code and any Similar Laws to such investment and whether an exemption would be applicable to the acquisition and holding of shares of common stock. Purchasers of shares of common stock have the exclusive responsibility for ensuring that their acquisition and holding of shares of common stock complies with the fiduciary responsibility rules of ERISA and does not violate the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA, the Code or applicable Similar Laws. The sale of shares of common stock to a Plan is in no respect a representation by us or any of our affiliates or representatives that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by any such Plan or that such investment is appropriate for any such Plan.

        Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in an underwriting agreement dated                , 2017, among us, the selling shareholders and the representatives, we have agreed to sell to the underwriters named below, for whom Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Piper Jaffray & Co. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC are acting as representatives, and the underwriters have severally agreed to purchase from us the following respective numbers of shares of Class A common stock:

        The underwriting agreement provides that the underwriters are obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase all the shares of Class A common stock in this offering if any are purchased, other than those shares covered by the option described below. The underwriting agreement also provides that if an underwriter defaults, the purchase commitments of non-defaulting underwriters may be increased or the offering may be terminated.

        We and the selling shareholders have granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to                additional shares of our Class A common stock at the initial public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions. The option may be exercised solely to cover any over-allotments of common stock.

        Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our Class A common stock. The initial public offering price has been negotiated between us, the selling shareholders and the representatives of the underwriters. The factors that were considered in these negotiations were:

    the history of, and prospects for, us and the industry in which we compete;

    our past and present financial performance;

    an assessment of our management;

    the present state of our development;

    the prospects for our future earnings;

    the prevailing conditions of the applicable United States securities market at the time of this offering; and

    market valuations of publicly traded common stock of companies that we and the representatives of the underwriters believe to be comparable to us.

        The underwriters are offering the shares, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel including the validity of the shares, and subject to other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, such as the receipt by the underwriters of officer's certificates and legal opinions. The offering of the shares of our Class A common stock by the underwriters is subject to receipt and acceptance and subject to the underwriters' right to reject any order in whole or in part.

153


Table of Contents

        The underwriters propose to offer the shares of Class A common stock initially at the initial public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus and to selling group members at that price less a selling concession of $            per share. The underwriters and selling group members may allow a discount of $            per share on sales to other broker/dealers. After the initial offering of the shares of Class A common stock, the underwriters may change the initial public offering price and concession and discount to broker/dealers. Sales of shares of Class A common stock made outside of the United States may be made by affiliates of the underwriters.

        The following table shows the public offering price, underwriting discounts and commissions, proceeds before expenses to us and proceeds before expenses to the selling shareholders. The information assumes either no exercise or full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares.

        In addition to the underwriting discounts and commissions to be paid by us, we have agreed to reimburse the underwriters for certain of their out-of-pocket expenses, including expenses in connection with any required review of the terms of the directed share program and the qualification of the offering with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, by counsel to the underwriters, incurred in connection with this offering, which we estimate to be approximately $            . In addition, we have agreed to pay certain expenses incurred by the selling shareholders in connection with this offering, other than the underwriting discounts and commissions. We estimate that the total expenses of the offering payable by us, other than underwriting discounts and commissions, will be approximately $             million.

        The representatives have informed us that they do not expect sales to accounts over which the underwriters have discretionary authority to exceed 5% of the shares of Class A common stock being offered.

        In connection with this offering, we agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, we will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the SEC a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to, any shares of our Class A common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of our Class A common stock, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge, disposition or filing, without the prior written consent of                for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth above shall not apply to any transfer in connection with, and as contemplated by, this offering or the reorganization transactions described under "Corporate Reorganization."

        Further, each of our officers and directors and the selling shareholders have agreed in connection with this offering that, subject to certain exceptions, they will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of our Class A common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of our Class A common stock, enter into a transaction that would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of our Class A common stock, whether any of these transactions are to be settled by delivery of our Class A common stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale, pledge

or disposition, or to enter into any transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of                for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth above shall not apply to any transfer in connection with, and as contemplated by, this offering or the reorganization transactions described under "Corporate Reorganization."

                        , in its sole discretion, may release the Class A common stock and other securities subject to the lock-up agreements described above in whole or in part at any time. When determining whether or not to release the Class A common stock and other securities from lock-up agreements,                may consider, among other factors, the holder's reasons for requesting the release, the number of shares of Class A common stock or other securities for which the release is being requested and market conditions at the time.

        We and the selling shareholders have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities under the Securities Act, or contribute to payments that the underwriters may be required to make in that respect.

        We have applied to have our Class A common stock listed on the NYSE under the symbol "RNGR."

        The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment hedging, financing and brokerage activities. Certain of the underwriters and their respective affiliates may from time to time perform various financial advisory, commercial banking and investment banking services for us and for our affiliates in the ordinary course of business for which they have received and would receive customary compensation.

        In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investments and securities activities may involve long or short positions in securities and/or instruments of the issuer.

        The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

        In connection with the offering the underwriters may engage in stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions, penalty bids and passive market making in accordance with Regulation M under the Exchange Act.

    Stabilizing transactions permit bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.

    Over-allotment involves sales by the underwriters of shares in excess of the number of shares the underwriters are obligated to purchase, which creates a syndicate short position. The short position may be either a covered short position or a naked short position. In a covered short position, the number of shares over-allotted by the underwriters is not greater than the number of shares that they may purchase in their option to purchase additional shares. In a naked short position, the number of shares involved is greater than the number of shares in their option to purchase additional shares. The underwriters may close out any covered short position by either exercising their option to purchase additional shares and/or purchasing shares in the open market.

155


Table of Contents

    Syndicate covering transactions involve purchases of the Class A common stock in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short positions. In determining the source of shares to close out the short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the over-allotment option. If the underwriters sell more shares than could be covered by the over-allotment option, a naked short position, the position can only be closed out by buying shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there could be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

    Penalty bids permit the representative to reclaim a selling concession from a syndicate member when the Class A common stock originally sold by the syndicate member is purchased in a stabilizing or syndicate covering transaction to cover syndicate short positions.

    In passive market making, market makers in the Class A common stock who are underwriters or prospective underwriters may, subject to limitations, make bids for or purchases of our Class A common stock until the time, if any, at which a stabilizing bid is made.

        These stabilizing transactions, over-allotment transactions, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids may have the effect of raising or maintaining the market price of our Class A common stock or preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the Class A common stock. As a result the price of our Class A common stock may be higher than the price that might otherwise exist in the open market. These transactions may be effected on the NYSE or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

        A prospectus in electronic format may be made available on the web sites maintained by one or more of the underwriters, or selling group members, if any, participating in this offering and one or more of the underwriters participating in this offering may distribute prospectuses electronically. The representatives may agree to allocate a number of shares to underwriters and selling group members for sale to their online brokerage account holders. Internet distributions will be allocated by the underwriters and selling group members that will make internet distributions on the same basis as other allocations.

        Other than in the United States, no action has been taken by us or the underwriters that would permit a public offering of the securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required. The securities offered by this prospectus may not be offered or sold, directly or indirectly, nor may this prospectus or any other offering material or advertisements in connection with the offer and sale of any such securities be distributed or published in any jurisdiction, except under circumstances that will result in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of that jurisdiction. Persons into whose possession this prospectus comes are advised to inform themselves about and to observe any restrictions relating to the offering and the distribution of his prospectus. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities offered by this prospectus in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or a solicitation is unlawful.


Directed Share Program

        At our request, the underwriters have reserved up to        % of the shares for sale at the initial public offering price to persons who are directors, officers or employees, or who are otherwise associated with us through a directed share program. The number of shares available for sale to the general public will be reduced by the number of directed shares purchased by participants in the program. Except for certain of our officers, directors and employees who have entered into lock-up agreements, each person buying shares through the directed share program has agreed that, for a period of 180 days from the date of this prospectus, he or she will not, without the prior written

156

consent of                , dispose of or hedge any shares purchased in the program or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or redeemable for our Class A common stock with respect to shares purchased in the program. For certain officers, directors and employees purchasing shares through the directed share program, the lock-up agreements described above with respect to the underwriting agreement shall govern with respect to their purchases. Any directed shares not purchased will be offered by the underwriters to the general public on the same basis as all other shares offered. We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities and expenses, including liabilities under the Securities Act, in connection with the sales of the directed shares.

Table of Contents


GLOSSARY OF CERTAIN INDUSTRY TERMS

        Artificial Lift:    Any production system that adds energy to the fluid column in a wellbore with the objective of initiating and enhancing production from the well. Artificial lift systems use a range of operating principles and equipment, including rod pumping systems, gas lift and electric submersible pumps, to enhance the production rate of a crude oil or natural gas well.

        Coiled Tubing:    A continuous length of alloy carbon-steel tubing that can be spooled on a reel for transport and subsequently deployed into a wellbore for the placement of fluids or manipulation of downhole tools during well servicing operations. The process of spooling and straightening a coiled tubing string imparts a high degree of fatigue to the tube material, which results in coiled tubing strings being regarded as a consumable product with a finite service life.

        Decommissioning:    The process at the end of a well's life involving the shutdown of production, removal of installed equipment and safe plugging of the wellbore to eliminate the potential for contamination.

        Drilled but Uncompleted ("DUC") Well:    A well that has been drilled but has not yet been completed. DUC wells provide an inventory of drilled wells to be brought online relatively quickly during favorable commodity price environments.

        Horizontal Drilling:    A subset of the more general term "directional drilling," used where the departure of the wellbore from vertical exceeds approximately 80 degrees. A horizontally drilled well typically penetrates a greater length of the reservoir and can offer significant production improvement versus a vertical well.

        Hydraulic Catwalks:    A long, rectangular platform approximately three feet (0.9 meters) high, usually made of steel and located adjacent to the rig's work floor. This platform is used as a staging area for rig and downhole equipment, including components that are about to be picked up and run into the well or components that have been pulled out of the well and are being laid down.

        Mast:    The upright structure on a rig, usually rectangular or trapezoidal in shape, used to support the string of tubular equipment and downhole systems that are pulled out or run into a wellbore.

        Mast Rating:    The maximum load rating of a well service rig, as stipulated by the manufacturer of the well service rig and industry standards. A mast is the structure on a well service rig that supports the surface load hoisting for well service rig activities. This structure allows the tubing string and other equipment to be lifted above the rig floor as it is being lowered into or pulled out of a well.

        Mechanical Refrigeration Unit ("MRU"):    Field equipment that is used to carry out the mechanical process of condensing heavier hydrocarbons from an inlet natural gas stream produced from an oil or natural gas well. MRUs utilize a heat integration system that cools the inlet gas stream and separates the stable hydrocarbon liquid product from the processed residue gas stream.

        Natural Gas Liquids ("NGLs"):    A natural gas liquid that can be separated from raw natural gas streams produced from an oil or natural gas well. This separation occurs in a field facility or in a gas processing plant through absorption, condensation or other separation methods. NGLs can be classified according to their vapor pressures as low (condensate), intermediate (natural gasoline) and high (liquefied petroleum gas) vapor pressure liquids.

        Plugging and Abandonment:    The process of preparing non-economic oil and natural gas wells to be shut in and permanently or temporarily sealed, often utilizing a well service rig along with wireline and cementing equipment.

A-1


Table of Contents

        Snubbing:    The process of forcing a pipe or tubular equipment into a well against wellbore pressure. Snubbing is utilized as a well intervention technique in live producing wells, and utilizes specialized equipment designed to apply the necessary forces while supporting the tubing and safely containing wellbore pressure and fluids.

        Volatile Organic Compounds ("VOC"):    Refers to a range of organic compounds, including certain hydrocarbons, that evaporate or vaporize readily at ambient temperature or pressure conditions. Some VOCs are harmful to human health and are subject to regulations.

        Well Completion:    Broad term encompassing a range of activities and equipment required to advance a drilled well into the production phase. Well completion activities include the assembly and deployment of downhole tubular equipment, wellbore stimulation processes such as hydraulic fracturing and the installation of artificial lift equipment.

        Well Control:    Well control is the technique used in oil and natural gas operations such as drilling, well workover, and well completions, to maintain the hydrostatic pressure of the wellbore fluid column and formation pressure to prevent influx of formation fluids (oil, natural gas and water contained within the geological formation) into the wellbore. The industry also requires the use of blowout prevention equipment as a secondary barrier for well control.

        Well Killing:    The process used to stop a well from flowing or having the ability to flow. Kill procedures typically involve a combination of removing existing oil or natural gas from the wellbore through circulation and pumping higher density fluid into the wellbore to prevent further influx of oil or natural gas from the geological formation.

        Wellbore:    With regards to an oil or natural gas well, the wellbore refers to the drilled hole or borehole, including the open-hole or uncased portion of the well.

        Wellhead:    A wellhead is the component at the surface of an oil or natural gas well that provides the structural and pressure-containing interface for the drilling and production equipment. The primary purpose of a wellhead is to provide the suspension point and pressure seals for the casing strings that run from the bottom of the borehole section to the surface pressure control equipment.

        Wireline:    Refers to cabling technology used by operators of oil and natural gas wells to lower equipment or measurement devices into the well for the purposes of well servicing, reservoir evaluation and pipe recovery.

        Work Floor:    Also known as rig floor, the work floor is a platform on a well service rig from which the rig crew conducts well servicing operations, including the making up tubular equipment, lowering and installation of such equipment in the wellbore, maintenance of downhole equipment and removal of installed equipment from a well.

        Workover:    The process of performing complex repairs or modifications on an oil or natural gas well. Workover operations include major subsurface repairs such as repair or replacement of well casing, recovery or replacement of tubing and removal of foreign objects from the wellbore.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Introduction

        The following unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements of Ranger Energy Services, Inc. (the "Company" or the "Registrant") for the year ended December 31, 2016 and as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2017, are derived from the historical audited combined consolidated and unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial statements of Ranger Energy Services, Inc. Predecessor ("Predecessor") set forth elsewhere in this prospectus and are qualified in their entirety by reference to such historical audited combined consolidated and unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial statements and related notes contained therein.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 includes the following adjustments: (i) the acquisitions of Magna Energy Services, LLC ("Magna") and Bayou Workover Services, LLC ("Bayou"), (ii) the transactions described under "Corporate Reorganization" and (iii) the offering, as if each had been completed as of January 1, 2016. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 include the following adjustments: (i) the transactions described under "Corporate Reorganization" and (ii) the offering, as if each had been completed as of January 1, 2016, in the case of the unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations, and March 31, 2017, in the case of the unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements, the Offering is defined as the planned issuance and sale to the public by the Company of                                    shares of Class A common stock of the Company as contemplated by this prospectus and the application by the Company of the net proceeds from such issuance as described in "Use of Proceeds." The net proceeds from the sale of the Class A common stock are expected to be $             million (based on an assumed initial public offering price of $            , the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover of this prospectus), net of underwriting discounts of $             million and other offering costs of $             million. The Magna and Bayou acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the preliminary purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon management's preliminary estimates of fair value. The determination of fair value is dependent upon valuations as of the acquisition date and the final adjustments to the purchase price, which when they occur may result in an adjustment to the value of the acquired assets reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements. Any such adjustments may be material.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet and the unaudited pro forma condensed statements of operations were derived by adjusting the historical audited combined consolidated and unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial statements of our Predecessor. The adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions. Actual effects of the transactions may differ from the pro forma adjustments. Management believes, however, that the assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the transactions as contemplated and that the pro forma adjustments are factually supportable and give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. The Company does not initially expect to recognize any income tax effects of becoming a corporation for federal income tax purposes in connection with the transactions described under "Corporate Reorganization" and entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement on the unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet. However, to the extent the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full or in part, the Company will contribute the net proceeds received by it therefrom to Ranger LLC in

F-3


Table of Contents

exchange for an additional number of Ranger Units equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock issued by the Company pursuant to the underwriters' option. Ranger LLC will use such net proceeds to purchase from Ranger Holdings and Torrent Holdings an aggregate number of Ranger Units equal to the number of shares of Class A common stock issued by the Company pursuant to the underwriters' option. In connection with such transactions, and assuming that the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares is exercised in full, the Company would expect to recognize the following adjustments to its unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet.

    a deferred tax asset of $            for the estimated income tax effects of the adjustment to tax basis resulting from the purchase by the Company of Ranger Units,

    the recognition of a $            tax receivable agreement liability, representing 85% of the estimated net cash savings, if any, that the Company actually realizes (or is deemed to realize in certain circumstances) in periods after the Offering, and

    an adjustment to stockholders' equity of $            , which is an amount equal to the difference between the increase in deferred tax assets and the recognition of tax receivable agreement liability due to the Existing Owners.

        At the time of a redemption, the Company will record a liability to reflect the future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. Further, the Company anticipates that it will account for the effect of increases in tax basis and payments for such increases under the Tax Receivable Agreement arising from future redemptions as follows:

    when future sales or redemptions occur, the Company will record a deferred tax asset for the gross amount of the income tax effect along with an offset of 85% of this asset as a payable under the Tax Receivable Agreement; the remaining difference between the deferred tax asset and tax receivable agreement liability will be recorded as additional paid-in capital; and

    to the extent the Company has recorded a deferred tax asset for an increase in tax basis to which a benefit is no longer expected to be realized due to lower future taxable income, the Company will reduce the deferred tax asset with a valuation allowance.

        The initial accounting for any deferred tax asset or liability recorded in connection with the Company's purchase of Ranger Units prior to or in connection with the Offering and the initial accounting for any subsequent redemptions are recorded in equity. The valuation allowance assessment with respect to the deferred tax asset will be based on whether available evidence supports the "more-likely-than-not" threshold for recognizing the deferred tax asset, whereas the assessment of the tax receivable agreement liability will be recognized when a payment is probable and reasonably estimable. The subsequent accounting for any changes to previously recorded liabilities, including changes resulting from changes to any valuation allowances associated with the underlying tax assets, are recognized in earnings.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes and with the historical audited combined consolidated financial statements and related notes, as well as "Use of Proceeds" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," each included elsewhere in this prospectus.

        See "Use of Proceeds" to see how certain aspects of the offering would be affected by an initial public offering price per share of common stock at higher or lower prices than indicated on the front cover of this prospectus.

        The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to indicate the financial condition or results of operations of future periods or the financial condition or results of operations that actually would have been realized had the Magna and Bayou acquisitions or this offering been consummated on the dates or for the periods presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those illustrated. See "Risk Factors."

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of presentation, transaction and this offering

        The historical financial information is derived from the historical audited combined consolidated and the unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial statements of our Predecessor. The unaudited pro forma condensed statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 includes the following adjustments: (i) the acquisitions of Magna and Bayou, (ii) the transactions described under "Corporate Reorganization" and (iii) the Offering, as if each had been completed as of January 1, 2016.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors and Stockholder
Ranger Energy Services, Inc.

        We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Ranger Energy Services, Inc. (the "Company") as of March 1, 2017. This balance sheet is the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this balance sheet based on our audit.

        We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the balance sheet is free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the balance sheet, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall balance sheet presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the balance sheet referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at March 1, 2017 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO BALANCE SHEET

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation Organization and Basis of Presentation

        Ranger Energy Services, Inc. (the "Company") is a corporation formed under the laws of the State of Delaware on February 17, 2017 (date of inception). The Company has adopted a fiscal year-end of December 31. The Company has the authority to issue 1,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.01 per share. Each holder of shares of common stock is entitled to attend all special and annual meetings of the stockholders of the corporation and to cast one vote for each outstanding share of common stock.

        The Company issued 1,000 shares of common stock to Ranger Energy Services, LLC in exchange for a $10 note receivable. As of March 1, 2017, the $10 initial capitalization has not been funded. As a result, the Company has presented this receivable as contra equity.

        This balance sheet has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

        Through March 1, 2017, the Company had not earned any revenue and had not incurred any expenses; therefore, the statements of income, stockholder's equity and cash flows have been omitted. There have been no other transactions involving the Company as of March 1, 2017.

2. Subsequent Events

NOTE 1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Background

        The accompanying unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial statements of Ranger Energy Services, Inc. Predecessor (the "Predecessor", "our", "we" or the "Company") includes the financial positions and results of operations for the following businesses (the "Contributed Entities") which were formed or acquired by CSL Capital Management, LLC ("CSL" or "Parent"). In connection with an anticipated Initial Public Offering ("IPO") of Ranger Energy Services, Inc. (the "Registrant"), the Predecessor and the Contributed Entities will be contributed to the Registrant in exchange for shares in the Registrant.

    Ranger Energy Services, LLC; Ranger Energy Leasing, LLC; Ranger Energy Properties, LLC; and Academy Oilfield Rentals, LLC (collectively, "Ranger") as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017. Formed by CSL on June 19, 2014, Ranger is a production solutions company focused on oil and natural gas field development services primarily in Texas;

    Torrent Energy Services, LLC ("Torrent") as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 and for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017. Acquired by CSL in September 2014, Torrent is a company that owns and operates mechanical refrigeration units, natural gas powered generators and NGL storage tanks primarily in North Dakota and Texas;

    Magna Energy Services, LLC ("Magna") as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017 and for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Acquired by CSL on June 24, 2016, Magna provides workover, plug and abandonment, fluid management and wireline services. Magna was contributed to Ranger on June 24, 2016;

    Bayou Workover Services, LLC ("Bayou") as of December 31, 2016. Acquired by Ranger on October 3, 2016, Bayou provides workover, completions, plug and abandonment, equipment rentals and fluid management services.

Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements, therefore, should be read in conjunction with the combined consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this registration statement for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement are reflected in the interim periods presented.

New Accounting Pronouncements

        In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 supersedes existing revenue recognition requirements in GAAP and requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which

NOTE 1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, it requires expanded disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and certainty of revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers. The ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, using either a full or a modified retrospective application approach. The Company is in the initial stages of evaluating the effect of the standard on our combined consolidated financial statements and continues to evaluate the available transition methods.

        In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No, 2016-02, Leases, amending the current accounting for leases. Under the new provisions, all lessees will report a right-of-use asset and a liability for the obligation to make payments for all leases with the exception of those leases with a term of 12 months or less. All other leases will fall into one of two categories: (i) a financing lease or (ii) an operating lease. Lessor accounting remains substantially unchanged with the exception that no leases entered into after the effective date will be classified as leveraged leases. For sale leaseback transactions, a sale will only be recognized if the criteria in the new revenue recognition standard are met. ASU 2016-2 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim within that reporting period, using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the initial stages of evaluating the effect of the standard on our combined consolidated financial statements.

        In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on Available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The amendment is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, however early application is permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is in the initial stages of evaluating the effect of the standard on our combined consolidated financial statements.

        In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230), Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. ASU 2016-15 reduces diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance addresses specific cash flow issues for which current GAAP is either unclear or does not include specific guidance. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of ASU 2016-15 on our combined consolidated financial statements of cash flows.

        In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Instead, entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for annual and interim goodwill impairment testing dates after January 1, 2017. The ASU will be applied prospectively. We currently do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our combined consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Continued)

        In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of asset or business. ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is allowed for transactions that occurred before the issuance date or effective date of the amendments only when the transaction has not been reported in the financial statements previously issued. We currently do not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our combined consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITIONS

Magna Acquisition

        On June 24, 2016, CSL acquired Magna, a privately held oilfield services company that provides workover, plug and abandonment, fluid management and wireline services, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $12.7 million to gain market share in the industry. Magna's operations are focused primarily in Colorado, Wyoming and North Dakota. Ranger accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. No goodwill was recorded in conjunction with the Magna acquisition as the total purchase consideration approximated the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

        On September 28, 2016, Magna was contributed to Ranger by CSL to gain market share in the industry.

2016. The costs related to the transaction were $0.1 million and were expensed during 2016 in the Company's combined consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Bayou Acquisition

        On October 3, 2016, Ranger acquired Bayou, a privately held oilfield services company that provides workover, plug and abandonment and fluid management services, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $50.5 million, which included an approximate 35% equity interest in Ranger. Bayou's operations are focused primarily in Colorado and North Dakota. Ranger accounted for this acquisition as a business combination.

NOTE 3. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

        During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company decided to market and sell non-core rental fleet assets. The units consisted of MRUs, stabilizers and wedge units, and were classified as held for sale due to the fact that they were specifically identified, and management has a plan for their sale in their present condition to occur in the next year. As of March 31, 2017, the units are still classified as held for sale. The available for sale assets are recorded at the units' carrying amount, which approximates fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated.

NOTE 6. CAPITAL LEASES

        The Company leases certain assets under capital leases which expire at various dates through 2018. The assets and liabilities under capital 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 their estimated useful lives or over the lease term. Amortization of assets under capital leases were $0.2 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017.

        In February 2017, the Company entered into a lease agreement for certain high-specification rig equipment for use in its business operations. The lease is being accounted for as a capital lease, as the present value of minimum monthly lease payments, including the purchase option, exceeds 90 percent of the fair value of the leased property at inception of the lease. The lease term ends January 2018, and as such, the total obligation is current.

        In 2015, Ranger had a $2.0 million revolving line of credit with Iberia Bank expiring on April 30, 2018 (the "Revolver"). On December 23, 2016, Ranger amended the Revolver to increase its size to $5.0 million. As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, there was $5.0 million borrowed against this revolver. The Revolver was secured by substantially all of Ranger's assets (approximately $132.1 million of the Company's total assets as of March 31, 2017). Interest varies with the bank's prime rate and the bank's London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). At December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, the interest rate was 4.12% and 4.28%, respectively.

        In February 2015, as amended in March 31, 2016, Torrent secured a $2.0 million senior credit facility with Texas Capital Bank consisting of a $2.0 million Advancing Term Loan as defined by the note agreement. The note is secured by substantially all of Torrent's assets (approximately $27.5 million of the Company's total assets as of March 31, 2017). Interest varies with the bank's prime rate and the bank's LIBOR and is payable quarterly through the maturity of the note. As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, the interest rate was 5.75%. The agreement also requires the Company to maintain certain financial and non-financial covenants. Effective March 31, 2016, covenant compliance was waived for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2015, March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016. The Company made a $1.2 million principal payment in April 2016, in order to obtain the bank waiver and accelerated the final loan balance pay-off to October 3, 2017. As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, there was $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, outstanding on the senior credit facility.

        In March 2015, Torrent, through certain members of its management team as borrowers, secured a $0.6 million promissory note with Benchmark Bank. Interest varies with the bank's prime rate. Initially, all principal and interest was due on the date of maturity of September 4, 2015, however, the terms were renegotiated and a restructured note and agreement was entered into in April 2016 with an interest rate of 4.5%. In April 2016, Torrent made a principal payment of $0.4 million on this promissory note, leaving a remaining balance of $0.2 million, which is secured by a $0.2 million certificate of deposit. As of December 31, 2016, there was $0.2 million outstanding on the promissory note. The remaining principal balance was repaid in full on February 28, 2017.

        In April 2015, Ranger secured a $7.0 million promissory note with Iberia Bank. Interest varies with the bank's prime rate and the bank's LIBOR and is payable in 60 equal monthly installments, which commenced on May 1, 2016. As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, the interest rate was 4.12%, and 4.28% respectively. Installment payments are due through May 1, 2019, and the note is secured by substantially all of Ranger's assets (approximately $132.1 million of the Company's total assets as of March 31, 2017). As of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, the outstanding balance was $6.2 million and $5.8 million, respectively.

NOTE 7. LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

        All debt agreements include the usual and customary covenants for facilities of its type and size. The covenants cover matters such as minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, maximum leverage ratio, current ratio, maximum indebtedness to capitalization ratio, minimum debt service coverage ratio and minimum net income. As of March 31, 2017, the Company was not in compliance with certain financial covenants; however a waiver of non-compliance was obtained from the financial institution. The Company does not anticipate being in compliance within the next twelve months and accordingly has classified the debt as current in the accompanying condensed combined consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2017. The Company obtained additional commitments from CSL for additional capital for at least one year from the date of issuance of these condensed combined consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 10. SEGMENT REPORTING

        Our operations are all operated in the United States and organized into two reportable segments: Well Services and Processing Solutions. Our reportable segments comprise the structure used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") to make key operating decisions and assess performance during the years presented in the accompanying combined consolidated financial statements. Our CODM evaluates the segments' operating performance based on multiple measures including Adjusted EBITDA, rig hours and rig utilization. The following is a description of the segments:

        Well Services.    Our well service rigs facilitate operations throughout the lifecycle of a well, including (I) well completion support; (ii) workover; (iii) well maintenance; and (iv) decommissioning. We provide these advanced well services to Exploration & Production ("E&P") companies, particularly to those operating in unconventional oil and natural gas reservoirs and requiring technically and operationally advanced services. Our well service rigs are designed to support growing U.S. horizontal well demands.

        Processing Solutions.    We provide a range of proprietary, modular equipment for the processing of rich natural gas streams at the wellhead or central gathering points in basins where drilling and completion activity has outpaced the development of permanent processing infrastructure.

NOTE 11. OWNERS' CAPITAL AND PROFIT INTERESTS AWARDS

Well Services

        The Well Services segment (Ranger) is 100% owned by Ranger Energy Holdings, LLC ("Ranger Holdings") and Ranger's equity is represented by a single share class. Ranger Holdings has issued Class C and Class D units to certain key employees of Ranger as remuneration for employee services and are intended to be "profit interests" with no voting rights. Certain of the units vest 33% per year over a three-year service period and may be forfeited or repurchased by Ranger Holdings under certain circumstances as set forth in the Ranger Holdings limited liability company agreement and the individual Class C and Class D unit grant agreements. The "vesting units" are deemed equity and are measured at fair value using an option pricing model at each grant date with compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

        Certain of the Class C and Class D units that were granted are liability-classified awards as they do not fully vest until a defined change of control event. The Company has not recognized a liability or recognized any compensation expense for these liability-classified awards in the accompanying unaudited condensed combined consolidated financial statements since the change of control event is not probable and estimable. These units will trigger no compensation expense until amounts payable under such awards become probable and estimable.

        On October 3, 2016, the Class C and Class D units were modified, whereby new units were issued to replace the existing Class C and Class D units that had been issued prior to October 3, 2016. As

part of the issuance of the new Class C and Class D unit, the existing Class C and Class D units were cancelled. The terms of the new and existing Class C and Class D awards were materially similar.

        The grant date fair value for the Class C and Class D units prior to modification were de minimis while the grant date fair value for the Class C and Class D units at modification was $2.5 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017, we recognized compensation expense of $0 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards at March 31, 2017 is $1.8 million and is expected to be recognized over the next two years. No distributions were made during the three months ended March 31, 2017.

        The following table summarizes the Class C and Class D unit activity for the year ended December 31, 2016 and for the three months ended March 31, 2017 (in millions):

        In 2015, Torrent had a $0.6 million promissory note entered into with Benchmark Bank, through certain members of its management as borrowers. At December 31, 2016, $0.2 million was outstanding. On February 28, 2017, the outstanding balance was repaid in full.

        In January 2017, the Company purchased certain assets from a related party for approximately $4.0 million.

        In February 2017, Ranger entered into the Ranger Bridge Loan, consisting of loan agreements with each of CSL Opportunities II, CSL Holdings II and Bayou Well Holdings Company, LLC, each an indirect equity owner of Ranger Services. The Ranger Bridge Loan, which was obtained to fund capital expenditures and working capital, is evidenced by promissory notes payable to the Bridge Loan Lenders in an aggregate principal amount of $11.1 million, consisting of three individual promissory notes in the principal amounts of (i) $4.4 million payable to CSL Opportunities II, (ii) $3.2 million payable to CSL Holdings II and (iii) $3.6 million payable to Bayou Holdings. The note is secured by substantially all of Ranger's assets (approximately $132.1 million of the Company's total assets as of March 31, 2017). Each note bears interest at a rate of 15% and matures upon the earlier of February 21, 2018 or ten days after the consummation of an initial public offering. The loan agreement includes a make-whole provision in which Ranger will pay 125% of the total amount advanced to Ranger upon settlement. As of March 31, 2017, there was $11.2 million outstanding on the Ranger Bridge Loan. During April 2017, the Company increased its bridge loan debt by $1.0 million to $12.1 million from CSL and Bayou Well Holdings Company, LLC to fund capital expenditures and working capital. During May 2017, the Company increased its bridge loan debt by $2.5 million to $14.6 million from CSL and Bayou Well Holdings Company LLC to fund capital expenditures and working capital. The bridge loan is still for a term of one year with an annual interest rate of 15%.

        We have evaluated subsequent events through May 22, 2017, the date the financial statements were available to be issued noting the following:

        During April and May 2017, the Company increased its bridge loan debt by $1.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively, to $14.6 million from CSL and Bayou Well Holdings Company, LLC to fund capital expenditures and working capital. The bridge loan terms remain unchanged.

To the Owners of
Ranger Energy Services, Inc. Predecessor

        We have audited the accompanying combined consolidated balance sheets of Ranger Energy Services, Inc. Predecessor (the "Company") as of December 31, 2015 and 2016, and the related combined consolidated statements of operations, net parent investment and cash flows for each of the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of Torrent Energy Services, LLC ("Torrent"), one of the entities included in the combined consolidated financial statements, which statements reflect total assets of $27.0 million and $27.8 million at December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, and total revenues of $11.5 million and $6.5 million for the years then ended, respectively. Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for Torrent, is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the combined consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall combined consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other auditors, the combined consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the combined consolidated financial position of Ranger Energy Services, Inc. Predecessor at December 31, 2015 and 2016, and the combined consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTE 1. BACKGROUND AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Background

        The accompanying combined consolidated financial statements of Ranger Energy Services, Inc. Predecessor (the "Predecessor", "our", "we" or the "Company") includes the financial positions and results of operations for the following businesses (the "Contributed Entities") which were formed or acquired by CSL Capital Management, LLC ("CSL" or "Parent"). In connection with an anticipated Initial Public Offering ("IPO") of Ranger Energy Services, Inc. (the "Registrant"), the Predecessor and the Contributed Entities will be contributed to the Registrant in exchange for shares in the Registrant.

    Ranger Energy Services, LLC; Ranger Energy Leasing, LLC; Ranger Energy Properties, LLC; and Academy Oilfield Rentals, LLC (collectively, "Ranger") as of December 31, 2015 and 2016 and for the two years ended December 31, 2016. Formed by CSL on June 19, 2014, Ranger is a production solutions company focused on oil and natural gas field development services primarily in Texas;

    Torrent Energy Services, LLC ("Torrent") as of December 31, 2015 and 2016 and for the two years ended December 31, 2016. Acquired by CSL in September 2014, Torrent is a company that owns and operates mechanical refrigeration units, natural gas powered generators and NGL storage tanks primarily in North Dakota and Texas;

    Magna Energy Services, LLC ("Magna") as of December 31, 2016 and for the period from June 24, 2016 to December 31, 2016. Acquired by CSL on June 24, 2016, Magna provides workover, plug and abandonment, fluid management and wireline services. Magna was contributed to Ranger on June 24, 2016;

    Bayou Workover Services, LLC ("Bayou") as of December 31, 2016 and for the period from October 3, 2016 to December 31, 2016. Acquired by Ranger on October 3, 2016, Bayou provides workover, completions, plug and abandonment, equipment rentals and fluid management services.

Basis of Presentation

        The combined consolidated financial statements of the Predecessor have been prepared from each of the Predecessor and the Contributed Entity's accounting records. The contributions during 2017 were all treated as a combination of entities under common control, whereas the Magna and Bayou acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2016 and the Torrent acquisition during the year ended December 31, 2014 were accounted for at fair value in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations. The accompanying combined consolidated financial statements and related notes include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of Ranger and Torrent as if they were combined for all periods presented, and for the periods starting from Ranger's acquisition date for Bayou and CSL's acquisition date for Magna. All transactions among the Contributed Entities within the Predecessor have been eliminated in combination and consolidation. Management has prepared the combined consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future period.

        Certain transactions and balances between Contributed Entities that were historically non-cash settled are reflected as a component of net parent investment on our accompanying combined

consolidated balance sheets, and as contributions from parent, net on our accompanying combined consolidated statements of cash flows.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with 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 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, plant and equipment and intangible assets

    Impairment of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets

    Allowance for doubtful accounts

    Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in an acquisition

    Unit-based compensation

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. Cash balances from time to time may exceed the insured amounts; however the Predecessor has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risks on such accounts.

Accounts Receivable

        Accounts receivable, net are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. The Company reviews a customer's credit history before extending credit. Generally, the Company does not require collateral from its customers. The allowance for doubtful accounts is established as losses are estimated to have occurred through a provision for bad debts charged to earnings. 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 doubtful accounts 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 doubtful accounts to accounts receivable and current economic conditions. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.7 million and $1.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Property, Plant and Equipment

        Property, plant 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 expense as incurred. Assets under capital lease obligations and leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or their respective estimated useful lives. Depreciation does not begin until property, plant 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, plant 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.

Goodwill

        Goodwill represents the excess of costs over the fair value of the net assets acquired in connection with a business combination. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather tested and assessed for impairment annually or more frequently if certain events or changes in circumstance indicate the carrying amount may exceed fair value. Before employing detailed impairment testing methodologies, the Company may first evaluate the likelihood of impairment by considering qualitative factors relevant to each reporting unit, such as macroeconomic, industry, market or any other factors that have a significant bearing on fair value. If the Company first utilizes a qualitative approach and determines that it is more likely than not that goodwill is impaired, detailed testing methodologies are then applied. Otherwise, the Company concludes that no impairment has occurred. Detailed impairment testing involves a two-step process. First, the fair value of each reporting unit is compared to its carrying value to determine whether an indication of impairment exists. If impairment is indicated, the implied value of the reporting unit's goodwill is determined by allocating the unit's fair value to its assets and liabilities as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. The fair value of the reporting unit is typically determined through the use of a blended income and market approach. The impairment for goodwill is measured as the excess of its carrying value over its implied value. The Company recognized impairment of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015.

Intangible Assets

        Identified intangible assets with determinable lives consist of customer relationships and trade names (as described in Note 3, Acquisitions below). Customer relationships and trade names are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Assets Held for Sale

        During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company decided to market and sell non-core rental fleet assets. The units are classified as held for sale because they have been specifically identified, and management has a plan for their sale in their present condition to occur in the next year. The available for sale assets are recorded at the units' carrying amount, which approximates fair value less costs to sell, and have been reclassified as current assets on our balance sheet, and are no longer depreciated.

Fair Value

        Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The three-tiered hierarchy is 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 of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables, amounts receivable or payable to related parties, and long-term debt. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, and trade payables approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of the instruments. The fair value of long-term debt approximates its carrying value based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for bank loans with similar terms and maturities. In valuing certain assets and liabilities, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. For disclosure purposes, assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value. The Company did not have any assets or liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2015 and 2016.

        During 2015, the Company had non-recurring fair value measurements related to the impairment of goodwill. The fair values were determined through the use of a blended market and income approach, which represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. During 2016, the Company had non-recurring fair value measurements related to the acquisition and purchase price allocations of Magna and Bayou (Note 3). The fair values were determined through the use of a blended income, market and cost approach, which represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.

Revenue Recognition

        The Company generates revenue from multiple sources within its operating segments.

        Well Services—Well Services consists primarily of maintenance services, workover services, completion services and plugging and abandonment services. The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed, collection of the relevant receivables is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the price is fixed or determinable. The Company prices well servicing by the

F-40

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

hour or by the day when services are performed. Well servicing is sold without warranty or right of return.

        Processing Solutions—Processing Solutions consists primarily of equipment rentals, operations and maintenance services and mobilization services. The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed, collection of the relevant receivables is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the price is fixed or determinable. Revenues from equipment leasing, operations and maintenance services are recognized as earned. These services are sold without warranty or right of return.

Business Combinations

        The Company recognizes, separately from goodwill, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the assumptions of market participants and not those of the reporting entity. Therefore, entity-specific intentions do not impact the measurement of fair value. Goodwill as of the acquisition date is measured and recognized as the excess of: (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred, the fair value of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition date fair value of our previously held equity interests over (ii) the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These fair values are accounted for at the date of acquisition and included in the combined consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2016. The results of operations of an acquired business is included in the statement of operations from the date of the acquisition.

Income Taxes

        No provision for federal income tax is included in the accompanying combined consolidated financial statements as federal income taxes, if any, are payable by its members on their share of income or loss. State income taxes are immaterial.

New Accounting Pronouncements

        In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 supersedes existing revenue recognition requirements in GAAP and requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, it requires expanded disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing, and certainty of revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers. The ASU is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, using either a full or a modified retrospective application approach. The Company is in the initial stages of evaluating the effect of the standard on the combined consolidated financial statements and continues to evaluate the available transition method.

        In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No, 2016-02, Leases, amending the current accounting for leases. Under the new provisions, all lessees will report a right-of-use asset and a liability for the obligation to make payments for all leases with the exception of those leases with a term of 12 months

F-41

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

or less. All other leases will fall into one of two categories: (i) a financing lease or (ii) an operating lease. Lessor accounting remains substantially unchanged with the exception that no leases entered into after the effective date will be classified as leveraged leases. For sale leaseback transactions, a sale will only be recognized if the criteria in the new revenue recognition standard are met. ASU 2016-2 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim within that reporting period, using a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the initial stages of evaluating the effect of the standard on the combined consolidated financial statements.

        In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The amendment is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, however early application is permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is in the initial stages of evaluating the effect of the standard on the combined consolidated financial statements.

        Under the JOBS Act, we expect that we will meet the definition of an "emerging growth company," which would allow us to have an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act. We have irrevocably opted out of the extended transition period and, as a result, we will adopt new or revised accounting standards on the relevant dates on which adoption of such standards is required for other public companies.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS

Magna Acquisition

        On June 24, 2016, CSL acquired Magna, a privately held oilfield services company that provides workover, plugging and abandonment, fluid management and wireline services, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $12.7 million to gain market share in the industry. Magna's operations are focused primarily in Colorado, Wyoming and North Dakota. Ranger accounted for this acquisition as a business combination. No goodwill was recorded in conjunction with the Magna acquisition as the total purchase consideration approximated that fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

        On September 28, 2016, Magna was contributed to Ranger by CSL to gain market share in the industry. As this was a transaction among entities under common control, the assets and liabilities were recorded at their historical carrying values from the date of the initial acquisition by CSL on June 24, 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company incurred $0.1 million of acquisition-related costs that are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying combined consolidated statements of operations. From the acquisition date to December 31, 2016, revenues and operating income for the acquired business was $19.8 million and $0.7 million (excluding the acquisition related costs described above), respectively.

Bayou Acquisition

        On October 3, 2016, Ranger acquired Bayou, a privately held oilfield services company that provides workover, plugging and abandonment and fluid management services, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $50.5 million, which included an approximate 35% equity interest in Ranger. Bayou's operations are focused primarily in Colorado and North Dakota. Ranger accounted for this acquisition as a business combination.

        Depreciation expense was $2.1 million and $6.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively.

NOTE 5. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

        Goodwill was $0 and $1.6 million as of December 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively. Changes in goodwill are due to an impairment of goodwill of $1.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2015 and $1.6 million of goodwill recognized in connection with the Bayou acquisition during 2016. Related to the $1.6 million of goodwill impairment, the fair value was derived by using a market multiple. The market multiple was derived from a series of public comparable companies within the oil field servicing and midstream industries. The fair value of goodwill was determined by allocating fair value to the Company's assets and liabilities as if the Company had been acquired in a business combination. The amount of impairment for goodwill was measured as the excess of its carrying value over its fair value.

        As of December 31, the Company had the following definite lived intangible assets recorded (in millions):

NOTE 7. LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)

        In 2015, Ranger had a $2.0 million revolving line of credit with Iberia Bank expiring on April 30, 2018 (the "Revolver"). On December 23, 2016, Ranger amended the Revolver to increase its size to $5.0 million. As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, there was $1.0 million and $5.0 million borrowed against this line of credit, respectively. The Revolver was secured by substantially all of Ranger's assets (approximately $107.9 million of the Company's total assets). Interest varies with the bank's prime rate and the bank's London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). At December 31, 2015 and 2016, the interest rate was 3.74% and 4.12%, respectively.

        In February 2015, as amended in March 31, 2016, Torrent secured a $2.0 million senior credit facility with Texas Capital Bank consisting of a $2.0 million Advancing Term Loan as defined by the note agreement. The note is secured by substantially all of Torrent's assets (approximately $27.8 million of the Company's total assets). Interest varies with the bank's prime rate and the bank's LIBOR and is payable quarterly through the maturity of the note. As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, the interest rate was 5.75% and 5.75%, respectively. The agreement also requires the Company to maintain certain financial and non-financial covenants. Effective March 31, 2016, covenant compliance was waived for the fiscal quarters ended December 31, 2015, March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016. The Company made a $1.2 million principal payment in April 2016, in order to obtain the bank waiver and accelerated the final loan balance pay-off to October 3, 2017. As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, there was $2.0 million and $0.7 million outstanding on the senior credit facility.

        In March 2015, Torrent, through certain members of its management team as borrowers, secured a $0.6 million promissory note with Benchmark Bank. Interest varies with the bank's prime rate. Initially, all principal and interest was due on the date of maturity of September 4, 2015, however, the terms were renegotiated and a restructured note and agreement was entered into in April 2016 with an interest rate of 4.5%. In April 2016, Torrent made a principal payment of $0.4 million on this promissory note, leaving a remaining balance of $0.2 million, which is secured by a $0.2 million certificate of deposit. As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, there was $0.6 million and $0.2 million outstanding on the promissory note. The remaining principal balance was paid in full on February 28, 2017.

        In April 2015, Ranger secured a $7.0 million promissory note with Iberia Bank. Interest varies with the bank's prime rate and the bank's LIBOR and is payable in 60 equal monthly installments, which commenced on May 1, 2016. As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, the interest rate was 3.74% and 4.12%, respectively. Installment payments are due through May 1, 2019, and the note is secured by substantially all of Ranger's assets (approximately $107.9 million of the Company's total assets). As of December 31, 2015 and 2016, the outstanding balance was $6.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively.

        All debt agreements include the usual and customary covenants for facilities of its type and size. The covenants cover matters such as minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, maximum leverage ratio, current ratio, maximum indebtedness to capitalization ratio, minimum debt service coverage ratio and minimum net income. As of December 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.

NOTE 10. SEGMENT REPORTING

        Our operations are all operated in the United States and organized into two reportable segments: Wells Services and Processing Solutions. Our reportable segments comprise the structure used by our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") to make key operating decisions and assess performance during the years presented in the accompanying combined consolidated financial statements. Our CODM evaluates the segments' operating performance based on multiple measures including Adjusted EBITDA, rig hours and rig utilization. The following is a description of the segments:

        Well Services.    Our well service rigs facilitate operations throughout the lifecycle of a well, including (i) well completion support; (ii) workover; (iii) well maintenance; and (iv) decommissioning. We provide these advanced well services to E&P companies, particularly to those operating in unconventional oil and natural gas reservoirs and requiring technically and operationally advanced services. Our well service rigs are designed to support growing U.S. horizontal well demands.

        Processing Solutions.    We provide a range of proprietary, modular equipment for the processing of rich natural gas streams at the wellhead or central gathering points in basins where drilling and completion activity has outpaced the development of permanent processing infrastructure.

NOTE 11. OWNERS' CAPITAL AND PROFIT INTERESTS AWARDS

Well Services

        The Well Services segment (Ranger) is 100% owned by Ranger Holdings, LLC ("Ranger Holdings") and Ranger's equity is represented by a single share class. Ranger Holdings has issued Class C and Class D units to certain key employees of Ranger as remuneration for employee services and are intended to be "profit interests" with no voting rights. Certain of the units vest 33% per year over a three-year service period and may be forfeited or repurchased by Ranger Holdings under certain circumstances as set forth in the Ranger Holdings limited liability company agreement and the individual Class C and Class D unit grant agreements. The "vesting units" are deemed equity and are measured at fair value using an option pricing model at each grant date with compensation expense recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

        Certain of the Class C and Class D units that were granted are liability-classified awards as they do not fully vest until a defined change of control event. The Company has not recognized a liability or recognized any compensation expense for these liability-classified awards in the accompanying combined consolidated financial statements since the change of control event is not probable and estimable. These units will trigger no compensation expense until amounts payable under such awards become probable and estimable.

        On October 3, 2016, the Class C and Class D units were modified, whereby new units were issued to replace the existing Class C and Class D units that had been issued prior to October 3, 2016. As part of the issuance of the new Class C and Class D unit, the existing Class C and Class D units were cancelled. The terms of the new and existing Class C and Class D awards were materially similar.

        The grant date fair value for the Class C and Class D units prior to modification were de minimis while the grant date fair value for the Class C and Class D units at modification was $2.5 million. During the year ended December 2015 and 2016, we recognized compensation expense of $0 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards at year ended December 31, 2016 is $2.1 million and is expected to be recognized over the next two years. No distributions were made during the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2016.

At October 3, 2016, Ranger's existing Class C and Class D awards were cancelled and new Class C and Class D awards were issued.

        We utilized an option pricing model to estimate grant date fair value of the equity-based compensation awards, which included probability of various outcomes. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatilities of the stock of comparable companies in our industry. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the award is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

Torrent Holdings has issued Class B and Class C units to certain key employees of Torrent as remuneration for employee services and are intended to be "profit interests" with no voting rights. Class B units have a three-year vesting period at 25% per year, with the remaining 25% vesting upon certain events occurring. Torrent Holdings also issued Class C awards, which were fully vested at grant date when issued in 2014. Class B and Class C units are deemed to be equity-classified.

        The grant date fair value for the Class B and Class C unit awards were $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. During the year end December 31, 2015 and 2016, we recognized compensation expense of $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively. The total unrecognized compensation cost related to

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Magna Energy Services, LLC and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements (collectively, the financial statements).

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Magna Energy Services, LLC and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

MAGNA ENERGY SERVICES, LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Organization

        Magna Energy Services, LLC, formerly Cornerstone Energy Services, LLC, was organized as a Colorado limited liability company on March 23, 2007. Magna Energy Services, LLC was formed to acquire eight companies located in Gillette, Wyoming: KG Construction Co., CB, Inc., GEM Air, Inc., Jerry's Tanks, Inc., Means Seeding, Inc., Superior Sand and Gravel, LLC, Powder River Spraying, LLC (collectively the "Means Companies") and Big 85 Well Service, LLC ("Big 85"). On April 1, 2008, substantially all of the assets of E&S Services, Inc. were acquired for a purchase price of $3.5 million (collectively "Magna Energy" or the "Company"). As a Limited Liability Company (LLC), the amount of loss at risk for each individual member is limited to the amount of capital contributed to the LLC, and unless otherwise specified, the individual members' liability for indebtedness of an LLC is limited to the members' actual capital contributed.

        Effective April 7, 2011, Magna Energy acquired substantially all of the assets of Holloway Enterprises, Inc., ("Holloway") for an adjusted purchase price of $11,706,818.

        Effective March 20, 2012, Magna Energy acquired substantially all of the assets of Western Wellsite Services, LLC, ("Western") for an adjusted purchase price of $22,548,226.

        Effective July 13, 2012, Magna Energy acquired substantially all of the assets of Baker Enterprises Ltd. d/b/a Premium Water Services, LLC, ("Premium") for a purchase price of $700,000.

        The Company provides well head support and fluid services for the oil and gas industry, primarily in Wyoming, Colorado, and North Dakota.

        As of June 24, 2016, the majority of the operating assets and liabilities of the Company were acquired by Magna Energy Services, LLC, a newly formed Delaware limited liability company ("New Magna"). Pursuant to the purchase and sale agreement, the consideration related to the sale includes the total outstanding senior debt on the date of purchase, as well as certain additional liabilities and cash paid for the transaction costs associated with the sale. The total value of outstanding debt of the senior lender of the Company on the date of the sale was approximately $29,300,000 which was paid off by New Magna and the remaining assets and selected liabilities of Magna Energy were acquired through a net settlement of $12,500,000. The remaining debt of the Company was either converted to equity or included in the non-controlling interest, which is not included in the sale. None of the members of the Company are members of New Magna.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

        Use of estimates:    The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 balance sheet. Significant estimates include the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts and assets held for sale. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

        Principles of consolidation:    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Magna Energy Services, LLC and Magna Real Estate, LLC ("Magna Real Estate") in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        Cash and cash equivalents:    Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand and cash in bank accounts with original maturities of three months or less. From time to time, the Company may hold cash in excess of federally insured amounts.

        The Company maintains cash accounts with different financial institutions.

        Restricted cash:    Restricted cash consists of certificates of deposits held by the state of Wyoming for gravel pit reclamation.

        Accounts receivable:    The Company's accounts receivable arise through normal billing cycles and are generally due in 30 days. No interest is recorded on outstanding balances. The Company reviews receivables periodically for collectability and any items identified as uncollectible are reserved. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, $320,000 and $405,000 was reserved, respectively. For production work not completed at the end of any billing cycle and thus not eligible for billing to the customer, an estimate is made of the work that has been completed and is recorded as unbilled accounts receivable.

        Inventory:    At December 31, 2015 and 2014, inventory primarily consists of salvaged pipe to be refurbished and sold, production use items, and shop parts used in the repair and maintenance of Company assets. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, as calculated using the first in-first out method. The Company records provisions for slow-moving inventory to the extent the cost of inventory exceeds estimated net realizable value. The Company did not have a reserve at December 31, 2015 and 2014, for slow-moving inventory.

        Property and equipment:    Property and equipment are stated at cost or at estimated fair value at acquisition date if acquired in a business combination. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred and additions and improvements that significantly extend the lives of the assets are capitalized. Upon sale or other retirement of depreciable property, the cost and accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the related accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in operations. All property and equipment are depreciated or amortized (to the extent of estimated salvage values) on the straight-line method and the estimated useful lives of the assets generally range from 3-30 years.

        Impairment of property and equipment:    The Company reviews its long-lived assets including land, property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the capitalized costs of the assets to the future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. The Company did not record an impairment for the years ending December 31, 2015 and 2014.

        Assets held for sale:    At December 31, 2012, the Company removed pumping units from its oil field equipment as it intends to market these assets for sale. Accordingly, certain pumping units were segregated from property, plant, and equipment and classified as held for sale. Upon classification as held for sale, long-lived assets are no longer depreciated and a measurement for impairment is performed if there is any excess of carrying value over fair value less costs to sell. At December 31, 2012, this equipment was valued at net book value, which approximates net realizable value. During the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company wrote down its assets held for sale to fair value resulting in an impairment charge of $963,000 and $158,397, respectively.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        Loan origination fees:    The Company capitalized fees related to establishment of long-term debt. These fees are being amortized over the life of the loan on a straight-line basis. The difference between straight line and the effective interest method is not material to the consolidated financial statements. The Company recorded amortization expense of $153,800 and $92,807 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which is included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2015 the Company amended the loans with its senior debt lender reducing the loan payments until March 1, 2016. As a result, the Company was assessed a $234,848 loan fee which is payable in March 2016. As the result of the sale of the Company on June 24, 2016 (Note 11), this fee was not taken by the bank and this fee has been eliminated from loan costs as of December 31, 2015. In addition, the Company incurred $103,694 in legal fees that are being amortized over the remaining term of the loans. In connection with the Company's sale, all debt was paid in full (Note 7) and all loan fees were expensed in 2016.

        Non-controlling interest in Magna Real Estate, LLC:    The Company entered into an operating lease agreement with Magna Real Estate in 2008. The operating lease agreement is for a term of 20 years, and is for the use of the land and infrastructure on the sole piece of property that Magna Real Estate owns. When the Company was sold on June 24, 2016 a new lease was written with a lease term of 2 years. Additionally, Magna Energy and Magna Real Estate have common ownership, and certain debt agreements for Magna Real Estate are collateralized by interests in Magna Energy. The Company evaluates variable interest entities ("VIEs") in which it holds a beneficial interest for consolidation. VIEs are defined as legal entities with insubstantial equity whose equity investors lack the ability to make decisions about the entity's activities, or whose equity investors do not have the right to receive the residual returns of the entity if they occur. Accordingly, there are three criteria to consider when determining if a company is a VIE. An entity is to be consolidated if it meets any of the three criteria. Magna Real Estate met the following criteria: the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by any parties, including the equity holders.

        In 2015 and 2014, the Company has fully consolidated Magna Real Estate into its financial statements (Note 8). The 100 percent non-controlling ownership interest in the loss of Magna Real Estate is included as decrease to net loss in 2015 and 100 percent of the non-controlling ownership interest in the income of Magna Real Estate as a decrease to net income in 2014, respectively, to derive the Income (loss) attributable to Magna Energy members in the consolidated statements of operations. The 100 percent non-controlling interest in the equity of Magna Real Estate is shown as a separate component of members' equity in the consolidated balance sheets and statements of members' equity.

        Goodwill and intangible assets:    Goodwill is not amortized and is tested for impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with the Company's policy. The Company has chosen the end of its fiscal month of December as the date of its annual impairment test. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment at the reporting unit level. No impairments were recorded for the year ended December 31, 2014. It was determined that goodwill was impaired $20,001,754 as of December 31, 2015. There were several causes of the impairment. The first was a decrease in business activity in the Gillette geographical area due to the downturn in the energy sector, depressed value of the production equipment used in that area, and the management's estimated poor financial results in the immediate future years. In addition, due to

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

the sale of the Company on June 24, 2016, other components of goodwill were sold at less than carrying values.

        Long-lived intangible assets with determinable economic life are tested for recoverability whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company has determined there is no impairment on intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.

        Well servicing:    Well servicing consists primarily of maintenance services, workover services, drilling services, tracking services and wireline services. The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed, collection of the relevant receivables is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the price is fixed or determinable. The Company prices well servicing by the hour or by the date of service performed.

        Fluid services:    Fluid services consist primarily of the sale, transportation, storage and disposal of fluids used in drilling and tracking of oil and natural gas wells. The Company recognizes revenue when services are performed, collection of the relevant receivables is probable, persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and the price is fixed or determinable. The Company prices fluid services by the job, by the hour or by the quantities sold, disposed of or hauled.

        Taxes assessed on sales transactions are presented on a net basis and are not included in revenue.

        Major customers:    The Company provides the majority of its services to a few customers. The Company does not consider this a risk as there is a readily available supply of customers in the area. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the following customers exceeded 10 percent of revenue for the Company:

 
  2015   2014  
 
  Revenue   Receivables   Revenue   Receivables  

Company A

  $ 17,719,678   $ 1,707,513   $ 19,242,759   $ 2,614,895  

Company B

    6,666,065     1,281,161              

        Income taxes:    The Company is a limited liability company, and is treated as a pass through entity for income tax purposes. The Company's taxable income is passed through to its members. The Company is not subject to income taxes except for certain states in which the Company elects to pay income taxes on behalf of its members. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company elected to pay $10,279 of state taxes on behalf of its members.

        The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. No interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions were accrued at December 31, 2015.

        The tax years 2012 through 2015 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The Company expects no material changes to unrecognized tax positions within the next twelve months.

        Fair value measurements:    On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. ASC 820 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. ASC 820 also responds to investors' requests for expanded information about the

F-62


Table of Contents


MAGNA ENERGY SERVICES, LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information used to fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. ASC 820 applies whenever other standards require (or permit) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. ASC 820 does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. ASC 820 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company adopted ASC 820 on the first day of fiscal year 2008 for all their financial assets and financial liabilities (Note 4). The effective date for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities applies to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The adoption of this portion of ASC 820 had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        The Company's financial assets and liabilities include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, unbilled accounts receivable, inventory, assets held for sale, debt obligations, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these assets approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturities of these financial instruments.

        Advertising costs:    Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Advertising expense was approximately $27,000 and $55,000 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

        Recent accounting pronouncements:    On January 16, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-02, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Accounting for Goodwill. This ASU introduces an accounting alternative for private companies that simplifies and reduces the costs associated with the subsequent accounting for goodwill.

        In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services, or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. This ASU will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. A nonpublic entity may elect to apply the guidance in this ASU early with certain restrictions. The Company did not elect early adoption and is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.

        In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The guidance requires an entity to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued or available to be issued and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The guidance is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early application is permitted. The Company did not elect early adoption.

        Reclassifications:    Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year consolidated financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on net loss.

Note 3. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

        In connection with the Means Companies and Big 85 acquisitions on April 30, 2007, the Company recorded $9,639,358 of goodwill. As of December 31, 2011, goodwill was increased to $14,472,689 as a result of the Company meeting the earn-out provisions as described in the succeeding paragraph.

        As of December 31, 2015, it was determined this goodwill of $14,472,689 was impaired. The primary cause of the impairment was decrease in business activity in the Gillette geographical area due to the downturn in the energy sector, depressed value of the production equipment used in that area and the management's estimated poor financial results in the immediate future years.

        In connection with the April 7, 2011, acquisition of Holloway, the Company recorded $5,355,062 of goodwill, resulting from the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed. Because the sale of the Company on June 24, 2016, resulted in the calculated value of the assets sold attributable to this goodwill was less than the appraised value of these assets used in the valuation, it was determined that an impairment of $2,020,062 had occurred as of December 31, 2015.

        In connection with the March 20, 2012, acquisition of Western, the Company recorded $8,120,000 of goodwill, resulting from the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed. Because the sale of the Company on June 24, 2016, resulted in the calculated value of the assets sold attributable to this goodwill was less than the appraised value of these assets used in the valuation, it was determined that an impairment of $3,029,003 had occurred as of December 31, 2015.

        In connection with the July 13, 2012, acquisition of Premium, the Company recorded $480,000 of goodwill, resulting from the excess of the consideration paid over the fair value of assets and liabilities assumed. It was determined that a goodwill impairment of $480,000 occurred as of December 31, 2015. The primary cause of the impairment was the loss of the major customer from the acquisition.

        Intangible assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated amortization. On March 20, 2012, as part of the purchase of Western, the principal stockholders were paid $10,000 for a non-compete agreement covering three years. On July 13, 2012, as part of the purchase of Premium, the principal stockholders were paid $5,000 for a non-compete agreement covering three years. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had recorded amortization expense in the amount of $1,683 and $5,823, respectively.

        The intangible assets were fully amortized at December 31, 2015.

Note 4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the "exit price") in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

        In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches, including market, income and/or cost approaches. A hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the

F-64


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 4. Fair Value of Financial Instruments (Continued)

use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the observable inputs be used when available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of inputs as follows:

    Level 1: Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

    Level 2: Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, directly or indirectly.

    Level 3: Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement.

        The following describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses for its fair value measurements:

        Assets held for sale:    Assets held for sale consist of pumping units and are measured at their fair value less costs to sell. The Company's assets held for sale are measured primarily using Level 2 inputs. The fair value was based on a valuation using quoted prices in markets that are not active.

        The following table provides a summary of the fair values of assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis under ASC 820 as of December 31, 2015:

 
  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total  

Assets:

                         

Assets held for sale

  $     $ 124,000   $     $ 124,000

Assets:

                         

Assets held for sale

  $     $ 1,087,000   $     $ 1,087,000  

        During the year ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company wrote down its assets held for sale to fair value using Level 2 inputs, resulting in an impairment charge of $963,000 and $158,397, respectively.

Note 5. Related Parties

        All intercompany balances were eliminated in consolidation at December 31, 2015 and 2014. The Company leases a building from Magna Real Estate, and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company's expenses included $480,000 and $480,000 in rent, which were also eliminated in consolidation. As a result of the sale of the Company on June 24, 2016, the lease rent with Magna Real Estate was terminated and a new lease was executed with the successor company that is not a related party.

        As a result of the Western acquisition in 2012, the Company leases several building structures from the members and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, $30,000 and $106,500 of rent was expensed respectively. All leases expired during 2015. At December 31, 2014, the Company owed Western $5,613 for certain expenses.

In 2015, these unpaid management fees are treated as long-term liabilities as it is management's opinion that they will not be able to repay any portion in less than one year. In addition, the Company accrues interest on the unpaid balance at 6 percent per annum. At December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had accrued interest expense of $552,219 and $395,206, respectively. $150,000 of accrued interest was paid in 2015. When the Company was sold on June 24, 2016, the accrued management fees and the related interest were written off.

        The Company leases the land and building housing the LaSalle operations on a month-to-month basis from Cornerstone Development, LLC ("Cornerstone Development"). One of the members of the Company has a majority interest in Cornerstone Development. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, $590,400 and $98,400 in rent was paid. As a result of the sale of the Company on June 24, 2016, the lease rent with Cornerstone Development, LLC was terminated and a new lease was executed with the successor company.

Note 7. Long-Term Debt (Continued)

June 24, 2016, the Company was sold and this loan was satisfied as part of a $12,500,000 settlement with the bank (Note 1).

        Line of Credit.    As part of the Western purchase, the Company amended its loan effective March 20, 2012, to increase its line of credit to $13,000,000. As a result of the debt refinancing, the line of credit was increased to $18,000,000. The line of credit is segregated into two amounts. At December 31, 2014, there was a fixed amount of $9,200,000 in which interest is calculated at LIBOR plus 2.75 percent (2.91 percent at December 31, 2014. Interest on the amount that exceeds $9,200,000 is calculated at 1.25 percent plus Fifth Third Prime (4.5 percent at December 31, 2014). During the year, the $9,200,000 was transferred to the main revolver. The loan has a maturity date of December 31, 2018, and is collateralized by eligible accounts receivable, as defined in the agreement. On June 24, 2016, the Company was sold and this loan was satisfied as part of a $12,500,000 settlement with the bank (Note 1).

        Line of Credit-Related Party.    As part of the June 30, 2015 amendment, the LLC owned by the majority member was required to provide to the Company a revolving credit facility in the amount of $4,000,000 over a three month period. These loans accrued interest a 20 percent per annum and the accrued interest expense at December 31, 2015, was $375,890. Repayment of the credit facility cannot occur earlier than July 15, 2016, and any subsequent prepayments must meet certain loan covenants. On January 1, 2016, management agreed to convert this loan to equity. On June 24, 2016, the Company was sold (Note 1) and this equity was deemed worthless.

        Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes.    The Company entered into Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes with five of its members for total debt of $2,601,205. The notes are dated August 31, 2012, for $1,592,913 and February 13, 2013, for $1,008,292 and are due within 15 days of repayment or refinancing with the Company's secured creditor. The members that are parties to the notes declined to enforce the repayment provision of the notes upon the Company's debt refinancing with its secured creditor. Principal and accrued interest may be converted into Class A membership units at a conversion rate of $1,282 per unit. Due to the uncertain maturity date of the note, interest due on the note shall be equal to the initial principal amount of the note. The note can also be repaid by the Company in whole or in part at any time without penalty or premium subject to conditions set forth in the Company's secured creditor loan agreement. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company has recognized $396,312 of interest expense on the debt for each year. On January 1, 2016, management agreed to convert $1,800,213 of principal to equity.

        On June 24, 2016, the Company was sold (Note 1) and this equity was deemed worthless.

        Asset Based Loan.    As part of the Western purchase, the Company amended its loan effective March 20, 2012, increasing it by $10,704,281 to $36,674,000 and changed its principal payments to $365,167 per month. As a result of the debt refinancing, the loan was increased to $33,567,942 with a principal payment of $559,466 per month. The loan has an interest rate of LIBOR, plus 3.25 percent (3.42 percent at December 31, 2014). As a result of the June 30, 2015 amendment, $80,000 of the new $100,000 loan payment was allocated to the Asset Based Loan. The interest payment on the loan was increased to LIBOR, plus 4.25 percent (4.49 percent at December 31, 2015). The loan has a maturity date of December 31, 2018. On June 24, 2016, the Company was sold and this loan was satisfied as part of a $12,500,000 settlement with the bank (Note 1).

Principal payments were to commence on October 1, 2013 for amounts advanced as of September 30, 2013. As a result of the 2013 debt refinancing, all advances made as a result of this note were incorporated in the new asset based loan and a new debt facility was provided to allow up to $11,343,966 for the purchase of equipment at 80 percent of its vendor's invoice amount. Principal payments commence on January 1, 2015, for amounts advanced as of December 31, 2015. For amounts advanced during the year ended December 31, 2015, principal payments will commence on January 1, 2016. The loan amendment of June 30, 2015, terminated any further funding of equipment purchases. At the time of the amendment, $425,110 of purchases were funded by this loan. Principal payments are calculated at 12/3 percent of the amounts advanced payable monthly. As a result of the June 30, 2015 amendment, $20,000 of the new $100,000 loan payment was allocated to the Capital Expenditure Term Loans. Interest is calculated at 1.75 percent plus Fifth Third Prime (5 percent at December 31, 2014). The June 30, 2015 amendment changed the calculation of the interest rate to 2.75 percent plus Fifth Third Prime (6.25 percent at December 31, 2015). The loans have a maturity date of December 31, 2019, for 2014 loan advances and December 31, 2020, for 2015 loan advances. On June 24, 2016, the Company was sold and this loan was satisfied as part of a $12,500,000 settlement with the bank (Note 1).

        Member Loans.    As part of the Western purchase, the previous stockholders became new members of the Company and provided $3,000,000 in financing. The loans have a 6 percent interest rate and mature on March 20, 2017. Annually, upon the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of the loans, the Company may make a payment of $1,000,000, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. The principal payments may only be made so long as the principal payments are in compliance with the payment provisions as defined in the loan agreement for the line of credit, asset based loan, cash flow loan and Term B loan. As of December 31, 2012, the Company did not make its first annual payment due to the payment restrictions on the notes listed above. As a result of the debt refinancing in 2013, the previous stockholders agreed to delay payment on the anniversary dates. During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company made the first $1,000,000 payment that included $470,466 of accrued interest. Subsequent $1,000,000 payments are allowed in each calendar year provided that the Company is not in default of its loan covenants. The June 30, 2015 amendment delays payments for Member Loans to July 15, 2016. Interest is accrued at 6 percent of the unpaid balance. When the Company was sold on June 24, 2016, the unpaid portion of the loans and the related interest were not paid.

        Real Estate Term Loans (#1 and #2).    The term loans were entered into by Magna Real Estate on December 4, 2008 in order to satisfy a Magna Real Estate construction loan that came due in December 2008. The construction loan was entered into in order to finance the construction and landscaping of the facility and land that Magna Real Estate currently leases to Company. Real estate term loan #1 had an original maturity date of December 4, 2013. Real estate term loan #2 had an amended maturity date of December 4, 2013.

Real estate term loan #2 requires monthly payments of $7,357 at 5.5 percent interest rate. These loans are collateralized by the assets and properties held by Magna Real Estate and are guaranteed by equity members of both Magna Real

As a result in the downturn in the energy industry and as well as the closing of the water well in September 2015, water sales from the water well decreased by about $100,000 in 2015 as compared to 2014.

Note 9. Members' Equity (Deficit)

        On March 16, 2012, the Company redeemed 4,491.31 Class A membership units in Magna Energy Services, LLC (representing 29.93 percent of the issued and outstanding Class A units) for $5,032,939. Effective March 20, 2012, the Company amended its original loan agreement to provide additional financing for the Western acquisition. The amendment called for capital contributions by the members of $3,727,230, which was used as part of the funding of the purchase price. In addition, the Company issued $8,272,770 in member units related to the acquisition. On June 24, 2016, the Company was sold (Note 1) and all membership units were deemed worthless.

        In 2014, Magna Real Estate made distributions in the amount of $350,000 to its members. No distributions were made in 2015.

        At December 31, 2015 and 2014, there were 23,636 Class A membership units outstanding. On June 24, 2016, the Company was sold (Note 1) and these Class A membership units were deemed worthless.

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies

        Operating lease commitments:    The Company entered into an operating lease with Magna Real Estate to lease a building through September 2028. As a result of the sale of the Company on June 24, 2016 (Note 11), New Magna entered into a new lease agreement with Magna Real Estate reducing the monthly rent and changing the lease term to end in June 2018. In addition, the Company has an operating lease through March 2014 with members of the Company consisting of a building and a vacant lot. This lease was extended through March 2015 and then again through December 31, 2015. During 2015, the Company entered into a lease agreement to share office space with a related entity through May 31, 2021. As a result of the sale of the Company on June 24, 2016 (Note 11), the lease was verbally changed to month-to-month with the last payment made for December 2016. In addition, the Company entered into a lease agreement on a month-to-month basis for the new building now housing the LaSalle operations. As a result of the sale of the Company on June 24, 2016 (Note 11), this lease was terminated and a new lease entered into by the New Magna. Refer to Note 5 for further discussion of the operating leases held with related parties.

        Defined contribution plan:    The Company's employees are eligible to participate in an Employee Profit Sharing Plan (the "401(k) Plan") if they meet certain eligibility criteria. The 401(k) Plan is referred to as a "Safe Harbor 401(k) Plan." In order to maintain safe harbor status, the Company made a safe harbor matching contribution equal to 100 percent of the employees' salary deferrals that

F-72


Table of Contents


MAGNA ENERGY SERVICES, LLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

did not exceed 4 percent of the employees' compensation in 2015 and 2014. This safe harbor matching contribution is fully vested and is referred to as enhanced matching contribution. Employees may also make Roth 401(k) contributions. Contributions to the 401(k) Plan are invested by the trustees of the 401(k) Plan in accordance with the directions of each participant. On termination of service due to death, disability, or retirement, a participant may receive a lump-sum amount equal to the value of the participant's vested interest in his or her account. The Company contribution to the 401(k) Plan on behalf of its employees was $157,726 and $253,783 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. With the last payroll of June 2015, the Company suspended any matching of its employee's contributions.

        Contingencies:    From time to time, the Company may be party to legal proceedings incidental to its business. In 2013, the Company was a party to a lawsuit with a vendor for unpaid rental fees in the amount of $171,078 plus interest at 24 percent. During the year ended December 31, 2015, this lawsuit was settled for a total amount of $45,000. There are currently no other claims, suits or complaints arising out of the normal course of business that have been filed or are pending against the Company at December 31, 2015.

        With the sale of the Company to New Magna, there were certain property and building leases which were not assumed by New Magna and payments have not been made on these leases subsequent to June 24, 2016. The failure to pay could result in future liabilities to either the Company or New Magna. Estimated liabilities related to building leases are $217,000 and property leases are $2,315,000.

        The Company also entered into agreements with certain employees whereby if the Company is sold for a value within certain parameters, these employees would receive a percentage of the excess net profit. As a result of the sale of the Company on June 24, 2016, none of the parameters were meant and thus there were no distributions.

        During 2010, the Company granted an award to employees of Class B Units, whereby if the Company is sold for greater than fair value, they would share in proceeds from sale of assets. Until a sale occurs, the Class B members are not entitled to share in profits. No Class B Units were awarded during 2011. During 2012, employees with 158.65 Class B units terminated their employment with the Company, and new employees were granted 1,041 Class B Units. During 2013, one employee was granted an additional 138 Class B Units. During 2014, two employees were granted an additional 912 Class B Units. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, 2,467 Class B Units, respectively, were outstanding. The fair value at the date of grant was insignificant to the consolidated financial statements. As the Company was sold in June 2016 for less than fair value, the Class B units have no value as of December 31, 2015.

Note 11. Subsequent Events

        Subsequent events have been evaluated through February 3, 2017, the date the consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. As discussed in Note 1, on June 24, 2016, the majority of the Company's operating assets and liabilities were sold and the Company ceased operations.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of Magna Energy and its subsidiaries (collectively, "Magna" or the "Company"), are unaudited, pursuant to standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The FASB sets accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of American (GAAP). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In our opinion, the condensed consolidated financial statements include the normal, recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the results for the interim periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto.

        Use of estimates:    The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 balance sheet. Significant estimates include the Company's allowance for doubtful accounts and assets held for sale. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

        Principles of consolidation:    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Magna Energy Services, LLC and Magna Real Estate, LLC ("Magna Real Estate") in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 810, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 2. Related Parties

        The Company leases a building from Magna Real Estate, and for the period ended June 24, 2016 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company's expenses included $240,000 in rent, for both periods, which were also eliminated in consolidation. As a result of the sale of the Company on June 24, 2016, the lease with Magna Real Estate was terminated and a new lease was executed with the successor company that is not a related party.

        The Company leases several building structures from the members and for the period ended June 24, 2016 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, $0 and $27,750 of rent was expensed respectively. All leases expired during 2015.

        The Company has an arrangement with Cornerstone Holdings, LLC ("Cornerstone") to perform management services, provide corporate offices and other duties. Cornerstone is one of the members in the Company. For the period ended June 24, 2016 and the six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company incurred management fees of $330,382 and $653,768, respectively, under this arrangement, included in operating costs. At June 24, 2016, the Company has accrued management fees of $7,057,543 for the fees incurred but not paid. These unpaid management fees are treated as long-term liabilities as it is management's opinion that they will not be able to repay any portion in less than one year. In addition, the Company accrues interest on the unpaid balance at 6 percent per annum. At June 24, 2016, the Company had accrued interest expense of $718,056 within accrued expenses on the balance sheet. $0 and $150,000 of accrued interest was paid in 2016 and 2015. When the Company was sold on June 24, 2016, the accrued management fees and the related interest were written off.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the Member of
Bayou Workover Services
Houston, Texas

        We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Bayou Workover Services (the "Company"), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, and the related statements of operations, net parent investment, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the period from January 1, 2016 to October 3, 2016, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements

        Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

        Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

        An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

        We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

        In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bayou Workover Services as of December 31, 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the period from January 1, 2016 to October 3, 2016, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

        The financial statements include expense allocations for certain functions provided by Holdings, its affiliates and the Company, including, but not limited to, general corporate expenses related to executive management, finance, technology, legal, treasury, marketing and other expenses (see Note 4). These allocations were based primarily on direct usage basis when identifiable or based on the basis of revenue during the respective periods. Management considers the basis on which the expenses have been allocated to reasonably reflect the utilization of services provided to or the benefit received by the Company during the periods presented. The allocations may not, however, reflect the expenses the Company would have incurred as an independent company for the period presented. Actual costs that may have been incurred if the Company had been a stand-alone entity would depend on a number of factors, including the organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by employees, and strategic decisions made in areas such as information technology and infrastructure.

        The Company reflects payments made or received by Holdings or its affiliates on behalf of the Company as a component of net parent investment on the balance sheet. The accompanying financial statements do not include the associated borrowings, interest expense or deferred financing costs associated with Holding's long-term debt since the debt was not directly attributable to the operations of the Company's business and was not assumed in connection with Ranger Energy Services, LLC's acquisition of the Company in October 2016. Cash generated by and used in our operations is transferred to the Parent on a regular basis. We have reflected cash management and financing activities performed by the Parent as a component of net parent investment on our accompanying balance sheet, and as net parent investment on our accompanying statements of cash flows.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("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 financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates estimates and assumptions, including those related to the allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives and impairment considerations of property and equipment and contingencies. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on historical experience and on various other factors the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

        The Company considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition

        Revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Unbilled revenues represent revenues earned that have not been billed.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

        The Company provides an allowance for doubtful accounts, which is based upon a review of outstanding receivables, historical collection information, and existing economic conditions. Provisions for doubtful accounts are recorded when it is deemed probable that the customer will not make the required payments at either the contractual due dates or in the future. Recoveries of receivables previously charged off are recorded as income when received. At December 31, 2015 and October 3, 2016, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts.

Property and Equipment

        Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the life of the related assets, are charged to expense when incurred. When property and equipment are sold or otherwise disposed of, the asset account and related accumulated depreciation account are relieved, and any gain or loss is included in operations.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        Property and equipment was as follows at December 31, 2015 (in millions):

 
  Estimated Useful
Life
   
 

Workover rigs and equipment

  5 - 10 years   $ 67.0  

Other oilfield equipment

  3 - 10 years     26.8  

Vehicles

  3 - 5 years     6.0  

Buildings

  10 years     5.3  

Furniture and fixtures

  2 - 3 years     0.5  

        105.6  

Less: Accumulated depreciation

        (44.1 )

Property and equipment, net

      $ 61.5  

        The cost of property and equipment currently in service is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Depreciation expense was $14.2 and $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the period from January 1, 2016 to October 3, 2016, respectively.

        The Company reviews the carrying amounts of long-lived assets for potential impairment when events occur or circumstances change that indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. When required, impairment losses on assets to be held and used or disposed of other than by sale are recognized based on the estimated fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of by sale are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair values less costs to sell. There were no impairments of property and equipment during the year ended December 31, 2015 and the period from January 1, 2016 to October 3, 2016.

Fair Value

        Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The recorded values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature.

Net Parent Investment

        Net parent investment represents historical investments in the Company, the Company's accumulated net results and the net effect of transactions with, and allocations from Holdings. See Note 4.

Income Taxes

        The Company is not subject to federal income taxes. Instead, income or loss of the Company is reported by the respective members of Holdings on their federal income tax returns. The state income tax expense allocated to the Company was not material for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the period from January 1, 2016 to October 3, 2016.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        Management has evaluated the Company's tax positions and concluded that the Company has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the financial statements. The Company's Parent is subject to income tax examinations by U.S. federal, state, and local tax authorities for years beginning in 2010. The Company reports tax-related interest in interest expense and tax-related penalties in state income tax expense; however, no such amounts were recorded during the periods presented.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

        In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 supersedes existing revenue recognition requirements in GAAP and requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, it requires expanded disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and certainty of revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers. The ASU was effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, using either a full or a modified retrospective application approach. The Company is in the initial stages of evaluating the effect of the standard on the financial statements and continues to evaluate the available transition method.

        In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which requires lessees to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for all leases except short-term leases. On the income statement, leases will be classified as operating or finance leases. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period. At this time, the Company has no financing leases or operating leases with terms in excess of one year. As a result, the adoption of this standard will not be material to the Company, assuming there is not an increase in lease activity.

        In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. The amendments in ASU 2016-13 require the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. In addition, ASU 2016-13 amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The amendment is effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, however early application is permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact on its financial statements.

Note 3: Customer Concentrations

        Because our revenues are generated primarily from customers who are subject to the same factors generally impacting the oil and natural gas industry, our operations are also susceptible to market volatility resulting from economic, cyclical, weather-related or other factors related to such industry. Changes in the level of operations and capital spending in the industry, decreases in oil and natural gas price, or industry perception about future oil and natural gas prices could materially decrease the demand for our services, adversely affecting our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

        For the year ended December 31, 2015, Statoil Oil & Gas LP, Noble Energy, EOG Resources and PDC Energy comprised 58% of total revenues. For the period from January 1, 2016 to October 3,

Note 3: Customer Concentrations (Continued)

2016, Statoil Oil & Gas LP, Noble Energy and PDC Energy customers comprised 70% of total revenues. As of December 31, 2015, Statoil Oil & Gas LP and Noble Energy comprised approximately 46% of trade receivables.

Note 4: Related Party Transactions

        The Company is part of the consolidated operations of Holdings, and substantially all of our revenues as shown on the accompanying combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the period from January 1, 2016 to October 3, 2016 were primarily derived from transactions with third parties, as well as Holdings and its affiliates. The Parent and its affiliates also provide general and administrative services for us and the accompanying combined financial statements include expense allocations for these support functions. These allocations are based on direct usage when identifiable or an allocable share of the total costs of the Parent and its affiliate's employees engaged by the Company to the extent such employees perform services for our benefit. We believe that these allocations are reasonable and reflect the utilization of services provided and benefits received, but may differ from the cost that would have been incurred had we operated as a stand-alone entity for the periods presented.

        For the year ended December 31, 2015, the parent and its affiliates allocated approximately $27.1 and $7.1 million, respectively, in cost of services and general and administrative expenses for employee compensation, benefits and related charges to the Company. For the period from January 1, 2016 to October 3, 2016, the parent and its affiliates allocated approximately $15.0 million and $3.2 million in cost of services and general and administrative expenses, respectively, for employee compensation, benefits and related charges to the Company. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recorded $0.5 million in related party revenue. For the period from January 1, 2016 to October 3, 2016, the Company transferred property and equipment to a related party with a net book value of approximately $0.4 million for de minimus value. In addition, adjustments for intercompany transfers to appropriately exclude assets from the carve-out financial statements were captured in net parent investment. Net parent investment represents historical investments in the Company, the Company's accumulated net results and the net effect of transactions with, and allocations from, Holdings and its affiliates.

        During 2015, the Company purchased approximately $0.3 million of equipment from Fortitude Specialty Manufacturing, LLC, an entity affiliated with Holdings through common ownership. As of December 31, 2015, related party payables consisted of $0.1 million.

Credit Agreement

        The Company was a guarantor and its assets were collateralized for a debt obligation of its Parent. The Parent has a credit agreement (as amended and restated in 2014, the "Credit Agreement"), which includes a revolving line of credit, term loan and advancing term facilities. The Credit Agreement provides for up to $20 million of advancing term loans. Interest on advancing term loan facilities is at prime and LIBOR for a base rate and a LIBOR loan, respectively, plus a margin percentage, as defined in the agreement (2.9% at December 31, 2015). The Parent borrowed $20 million and made principal payments of $3.75 million during 2015, resulting in $16.25 million of outstanding principal as of December 31, 2015 (2.9% at December 31, 2015). Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement were fully repaid by Holdings in August 2016 and the Credit Agreement was terminated.

Note 4: Related Party Transactions (Continued)

The Company was jointly and severally liable for the entire loan amount and related expenses associated with the loan. The accompanying financial statements do not include the associated borrowings, interest expense or deferred financing costs associated with Holding's debt obligation since they are not directly attributable to the operations of the Company's business and were not assumed in connection with Ranger Energy Services, LLC's acquisition of the Company in October 2016.

Note 5: Commitments and Contingencies

Employee Benefits

        The Company's employees participate in a retirement savings plan maintained by an affiliate of Holdings (the "Plan"). During the year ended December 31, 2015 and the period from January 1, 2016 to October 3, 2016, the Company contributed approximately $0.6 million and $0, respectively, to the Plan.

Legal Matters

        From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal matters arising in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a significant effect on its financial position or results of operations.

Note 6: Subsequent Events

        We have evaluated subsequent events through March 9, 2017, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Item 14.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers

        Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that a director will not be liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. In addition, if the DGCL is amended to authorize the further elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, then the liability of a director of the corporation, in addition to the limitation on personal liability provided for in our certificate of incorporation, will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by the amended DGCL. Our amended and restated bylaws will provide that the corporation will indemnify, and advance expenses to, any officer or director to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL.

        Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses, including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits and proceedings whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except that indemnification extends only to expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action and the statute requires court approval before there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's certificate of incorporation, bylaws, disinterested director vote, shareholder vote, agreement or otherwise.

        Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will also contain indemnification rights for our directors and our officers. Specifically, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation will provide that we shall indemnify our officers and directors to the fullest extent authorized by the DGCL. Furthermore, we may maintain insurance on behalf of our officers and directors against expense, liability or loss asserted incurred by them in their capacities as officers and directors.

II-1


Table of Contents

        We have obtained directors' and officers' insurance to cover our directors, officers and some of our employees for certain liabilities.

        We will enter into written indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. Under these proposed agreements, if an officer or director makes a claim of indemnification to us, either a majority of the independent directors or independent legal counsel selected by the independent directors must review the relevant facts and make a determination whether the officer or director has met the standards of conduct under Delaware law that would permit (under Delaware law) and require (under the indemnification agreement) us to indemnify the officer or director.

        The underwriting agreement provides for indemnification by the underwriters of us and our officers and directors, and by us of the underwriters, for certain liabilities arising under the Securities Act or otherwise in connection with this offering.

Item 15.    Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

        In connection with our incorporation on February 17, 2017, under the laws of the State of Delaware, we issued 1,000 shares of our common stock to Ranger Services for an aggregate purchase price of $10. These securities were offered and sold by us in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. These shares will be redeemed for nominal value in connection with our reorganization.

        Further, pursuant to the terms of certain reorganization transactions that will be completed prior to the closing of this offering, as described in further detail under "Corporate Reorganization," we will issue shares of Class A common stock to certain of the Existing Owners and shares of Class B common stock to Ranger LLC. Neither issuance will involve any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions or a public offering, and we believe that each such issuance will be exempt from registration requirements pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Item 16.    Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

        See the Exhibit Index immediately following the signature page hereto, which is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.

Item 17.    Undertakings

        The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriters at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
