Insights

Energy sector analyst

Range delivered strong Q1 2026 growth, higher cash flow and a cleaner balance sheet.

Range Resources posted Q1 2026 revenues and other income of $1.03 billion and net income of $341.6 million, a large increase versus 2025. Adjusted net income reached $360.0 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, supported by higher realized prices of $4.84 per mcfe and stable production around 2.21 Bcfe per day.

Cash generation was strong, with net cash from operating activities of $619.1 million and cash flow from operations before working capital of $545.0 million. Management allocated this toward capital spending of $139 million, share repurchases of $27 million, dividends of $24 million, and a net debt reduction of $384 million, including redemption of $600 million 8.25% senior notes.

For full-year 2026, Range maintains an all-in capital budget of $650–$700 million and expects production of 2.35–2.40 Bcfe per day with liquids over 30%. Updated guidance raises expected NGL differentials to Mont Belvieu to $1.25–$2.50 per barrel above benchmark and slightly increases GP&T guidance to $1.55–$1.60 per mcfe, reflecting price-linked processing costs. The overall picture is one of stronger profitability and a more conservative leverage position.

cash margin financial

"RECONCILIATION OF CASH MARGIN PER MCFE, a non-GAAP measure"

basis hedging financial

"natural gas differential, including basis hedging, of $0.18 per mcf premium to NYMEX"

A basis hedge is a strategy that uses futures or forward contracts to protect against changes in the difference between a local cash price and a related futures price (the “basis”), rather than trying to match the exact cash price itself. It matters to investors because it can stabilize expected revenue or costs when selling or buying a commodity, currency or other asset, but leaves a residual risk if that cash–futures gap moves unexpectedly—like buying insurance that may not pay out exactly the same amount as the loss it’s meant to cover.

Net debt financial

"RECONCILIATION OF TOTAL DEBT AS REPORTED ... TO NET DEBT, a non-GAAP measure"

Net debt is the total amount a company owes after subtracting the cash and assets it has that can be used to pay off that debt. It shows how much debt is truly a burden, helping investors understand if a company is financially healthy or heavily borrowed. Think of it like calculating how much money you owe after using your savings to pay part of it.

PV10 value financial

"We believe that the presentation of PV10 value of our proved reserves is a relevant and useful metric"

non-GAAP financial measures financial

"the Company’s earnings press release contains certain financial measures that are not presented in accordance with GAAP"

Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.

NEWS RELEASE

Range Announces First Quarter 2026 Results

FORT WORTH, TEXAS, April 21, 2026…RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION (NYSE: RRC) today announced its first quarter 2026 financial results.

First Quarter 2026 Highlights –

•Cash flow from operating activities of $619 million

•Cash flow from operations, before working capital changes, of $545 million

•Repurchased $27 million of shares, paid $24 million in dividends, and reduced net debt by $384 million

•Capital spending was $139 million, approximately 21% of the annual 2026 budget

•Realized price, including hedges, was $4.84 per mcfe

•Natural gas differential, including basis hedging, of $0.18 per mcf premium to NYMEX

•Pre-hedge NGL realizations of $26.62 per barrel, a premium of $4.41 over the Mont Belvieu equivalent

•Production averaged 2.21 Bcfe per day, approximately 32% liquids

Commenting on the results, Dennis Degner, the Company’s CEO said, “Range is off to a great start in 2026, showing steady progress executing the multi-year disciplined growth plan announced last year. First quarter 2026 results also highlighted the value of Range’s strategic marketing portfolio with access to premium markets in the U.S. and abroad as Range realized its highest natural gas premium in over a decade and a record quarterly NGL premium. The resulting strong free cash flow funded a growing dividend, continued share repurchases and the strongest balance sheet in Company history. We believe Range is increasingly well-positioned to serve growing local and global demand for U.S. natural gas and NGLs given our consistent operational results, low full-cycle cost structure, and high-return, long-life asset base.”

Financial Discussion

Except for generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) reported amounts, specific expense categories exclude non-cash impairments, unrealized mark-to-market adjustment on derivatives, non-cash stock compensation and other items shown separately on the attached tables. “Unit costs” as used in this release are composed of direct operating, transportation, gathering, processing and compression, taxes other than income, general and administrative, interest and depletion, depreciation and amortization costs divided by production. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a definition of non-GAAP financial measures and the accompanying tables that reconcile each non-GAAP measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

First Quarter 2026 Results

GAAP revenues and other income for first quarter 2026 totaled $1.03 billion, GAAP net cash provided from operating activities (including changes in working capital) was $619 million, and GAAP net income was $342 million ($1.44 per diluted share). First quarter earnings results include a $33 million mark-to-market derivative loss due to increases in commodity prices.

Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital, a non-GAAP measure, was $545 million. Adjusted net income comparable to analysts’ estimates, a non-GAAP measure, was $360 million ($1.52 per diluted share) in first quarter 2026.

The following table details Range’s first quarter 2026 unit costs per mcfe(a):

Expenses		1Q 2026 (per mcfe)		1Q 2025 (per mcfe)			Increase (Decrease)
Direct operating(a)		$ 0.14		$ 0.13			8%
Transportation, gathering,     processing and compression(a)		1.63		1.55			5%
Taxes other than income		0.03		0.04			(25)%
General and administrative(a)		0.17		0.16			6%
Interest expense(a)		0.09		0.14			(36)%
Total cash unit costs(b)		2.07		2.01			3%
Depletion, depreciation and     amortization (DD&A)		0.45		0.46			(2)%
Total unit costs plus DD&A(b)		$ 2.51		$ 2.46			3%

(a)Excludes stock-based compensation, one-time settlements, and amortization of deferred financing costs.

(b)Totals may not be exact due to rounding.

The following table details Range’s average production and realized pricing for first quarter 2026(a):

	1Q26 Production & Realized Pricing
		Natural Gas (mcf)		Oil (bbl)		NGLs (bbl)		Natural Gas Equivalent (mcfe)
	Net production per day				1,508,842				8,239		108,193		2,207,436
Average NYMEX price		$ 4.97		$ 73.98		$ 22.21
Differential, including basis hedging		0.18		(10.68)		4.41
Realized prices before NYMEX hedges		5.15		63.30		26.62		5.06
Settled NYMEX hedges		(0.31)		(4.89)		0.00		(0.23)
Average realized prices after hedges		$ 4.85		$ 58.41		$ 26.62		$ 4.84

(a)Totals may not add due to rounding

First quarter 2026 natural gas, NGLs and oil price realizations (including the impact of cash-settled hedges and derivative settlements) averaged $4.84 per mcfe.

•The average natural gas price, including the impact of basis hedging, was $5.15 per mcf, or a $0.18 per mcf premium differential to NYMEX. Range continues to expect its 2026 natural gas differential to average ($0.35) to ($0.45) relative to NYMEX.

•Range’s pre-hedge NGL price during the quarter was $26.62 per barrel, approximately $4.41 above the Mont Belvieu weighted equivalent. Range is improving its full-year NGL price guidance to a range of +$1.25 to +$2.50 relative to a Mont Belvieu equivalent barrel.

•Crude oil and condensate price realizations, before realized hedges, averaged $63.30 per barrel, or $10.68 below WTI (West Texas Intermediate). Range continues to expect its 2026 condensate differential to average ($10.00) to ($14.00) relative to NYMEX.

Financial Position and Repurchase Activity

In January 2026, Range fully redeemed the $600 million principal balance of 8.25% senior notes due 2029 by borrowing on the Company’s bank credit facility. As of March 31, 2026, Range had net debt outstanding of approximately $834 million, consisting of $500 million of senior notes and $334 million on the credit facility.

During the quarter, Range repurchased 800,000 shares at an average price of approximately $33.91 per share. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had $1.5 billion of availability under the share repurchase program.

Capital Expenditures and Operational Activity

First quarter 2026 drilling and completion expenditures were $130 million. In addition, during the quarter, approximately $5 million was invested in acreage, and $4 million was invested in infrastructure, pneumatic upgrades, and other investments. First quarter capital spending represented approximately 21% of Range’s total capital budget in 2026.

During the quarter, Range drilled ~143,000 lateral feet across 9 wells, while turning to sales ~267,000 feet across 17 wells. The table below summarizes expected 2026 activity plans regarding the number of wells to sales in each area.

			Wells TIL 1Q 2026		Remaining 2026		Planned Wells TIL in 2026
Liquids Rich			17		33		50
Dry Gas			0		18		18
Total Appalachia			17		51		68

Guidance – 2026

Based on recent strip pricing, Range’s expected pre-hedge NGL price realization in 2026 has increased by approximately $4.75 per barrel relative to strip pricing in February. Higher realized NGL prices will result in slightly higher processing costs versus prior guidance, as Range’s processing costs are based on NGL revenue. Net of price-linked processing costs, the increase in forecasted NGL prices is expected to add approximately $160 million in cash flow for Range versus prior expectations, demonstrating margin expansion with rising NGL prices. Updated guidance for NGL pricing and GP&T expense can be found below.

Capital & Production Guidance

Range’s 2026 all-in capital budget is $650 million - $700 million. Annual production is expected to be approximately 2.35 - 2.40 Bcfe per day in 2026. Liquids are expected to be over 30% of production.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the presentation of its financial results prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), the Company’s earnings press release contains certain financial measures that are not presented in accordance with GAAP. Management believes certain non-GAAP measures may provide financial statement users with meaningful supplemental information for comparisons within the industry. These non-GAAP financial measures may include, but are not limited to Net Income, excluding certain items, Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital, realized prices, Net debt and Cash margin.

Adjusted net income comparable to analysts’ estimates as set forth in this release represents income or loss from operations before income taxes adjusted for certain non-cash items (detailed in the accompanying table) less income taxes. We believe adjusted net income comparable to analysts’ estimates is calculated on the same basis as analysts’ estimates and that many investors use this published research in making investment decisions and evaluating operational trends of the Company and its performance relative to other oil and gas producing companies. Diluted earnings per share (adjusted) as set forth in this release represents adjusted net income comparable to analysts’ estimates on a diluted per share basis. A table is included which reconciles income or loss from operations to adjusted net income comparable to analysts’ estimates and diluted earnings per share (adjusted). On its website, the Company provides additional comparative information on prior periods.

Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital represents net cash provided by operations before changes in working capital and exploration expense adjusted for certain non-cash compensation items. Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital (sometimes referred to as “adjusted cash flow”) is widely accepted by the investment community as a financial indicator of an oil and gas company’s ability to generate cash to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service debt. Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital is also useful because it is widely used by professional research analysts in valuing, comparing, rating and providing investment recommendations of companies in the oil and gas exploration and production industry. In turn, many investors use this published research in making investment decisions. Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operations, investing, or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity. A table is included which reconciles net cash provided by operations to cash flow from operations before changes in working capital as used in this release. On its website, the Company provides additional comparative information on prior periods for cash flow, cash margins and non-GAAP earnings as used in this release.

The cash prices realized for oil and natural gas production, including the amounts realized on cash-settled derivatives and net of transportation, gathering, processing and compression expense, is a critical component in the Company’s performance tracked by investors and professional research analysts in valuing, comparing, rating and providing investment recommendations and forecasts of companies in the oil and gas exploration and production industry. In turn, many investors use this published research in making investment decisions. Due to the GAAP disclosures of various derivative transactions and third-party transportation, gathering, processing and compression expense, such information is now reported in various lines of the income statement. The Company believes that it is important to furnish a table reflecting the details of the various components of each income statement line to better inform the reader of the details of each amount and provide a summary of the realized cash-settled amounts and third-party transportation, gathering, processing and compression expense, which were historically reported as natural gas, NGLs and oil sales. This information is intended to bridge the gap between various readers’ understanding and fully disclose the information needed.

Net debt is calculated as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. The Company believes this measure is helpful to investors and industry analysts who utilize Net debt for comparative purposes across the industry.

The Company discloses in this release the detailed components of many of the single line items shown in the GAAP financial statements included in the Company’s Annual or Quarterly Reports on Form 10-K or 10-Q. The Company believes that it is important to furnish this detail of the various components comprising each line of the Statements of Operations to better inform the reader of the details of each amount, the changes between periods and the effect on its financial results.

We believe that the presentation of PV10 value of our proved reserves is a relevant and useful metric for our investors as supplemental disclosure to the standardized measure, or after-tax amount, because it presents the discounted future net cash flows attributable to our proved reserves before taking into account future corporate income taxes and our current tax structure. While the standardized measure is dependent on the unique tax situation of each company, PV10 is based on prices and discount factors that are consistent for all companies. Because of this, PV10 can be used within the industry and by credit and security analysts to evaluate estimated net cash flows from proved reserves on a more comparable basis.

RANGE RESOURCES CORPORATION (NYSE: RRC) is a leading U.S. independent natural gas and NGL producer with operations focused in the Appalachian Basin. The Company is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas. More information about Range can be found at www.rangeresources.com.

Included within this release are certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that are not limited to historical facts, but reflect Range’s current beliefs, expectations or intentions regarding future events. Words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “project,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “outlook”, “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “pursue,” “target,” “continue,” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.

All statements, except for statements of historical fact, made within regarding activities, events or developments the Company expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future, such as those regarding future well costs, expected asset sales, well productivity, future liquidity and financial resilience, anticipated exports and related financial impact, NGL market supply and demand, future commodity fundamentals and pricing, future capital efficiencies, future shareholder

value, emerging plays, capital spending, anticipated drilling and completion activity, acreage prospectivity, expected pipeline utilization and future guidance information, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements are based on assumptions and estimates that management believes are reasonable based on currently available information; however, management's assumptions and Range's future performance are subject to a wide range of business risks and uncertainties and there is no assurance that these goals and projections can or will be met. Any number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Further information on risks and uncertainties is available in Range's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Unless required by law, Range undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events after the date they are made.

The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in filings made with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves, which are estimates that geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions as well as the option to disclose probable and possible reserves. Range has elected not to disclose its probable and possible reserves in its filings with the SEC. Range uses certain broader terms such as "resource potential,” “unrisked resource potential,” "unproved resource potential" or "upside" or other descriptions of volumes of resources potentially recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques that may include probable and possible reserves as defined by the SEC's guidelines. Range has not attempted to distinguish probable and possible reserves from these broader classifications. The SEC’s rules prohibit us from including in filings with the SEC these broader classifications of reserves. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of actually being realized. Unproved resource potential refers to Range's internal estimates of hydrocarbon quantities that may be potentially discovered through exploratory drilling or recovered with additional drilling or recovery techniques and have not been reviewed by independent engineers. Unproved resource potential does not constitute reserves within the meaning of the Society of Petroleum Engineer's Petroleum Resource Management System and does not include proved reserves. Area wide unproven resource potential has not been fully risked by Range's management. “EUR”, or estimated ultimate recovery, refers to our management’s estimates of hydrocarbon quantities that may be recovered from a well completed as a producer in the area. These quantities may not necessarily constitute or represent reserves within the meaning of the Society of Petroleum Engineer’s Petroleum Resource Management System or the SEC’s oil and natural gas disclosure rules. Actual quantities that may be recovered from Range's interests could differ substantially. Factors affecting ultimate recovery include the scope of Range's drilling program, which will be directly affected by the availability of capital, drilling and production costs, commodity prices, availability of drilling services and equipment, drilling results, lease expirations, transportation constraints, regulatory approvals, field spacing rules, recoveries of gas in place, length of horizontal laterals, actual drilling results, including geological and mechanical factors affecting recovery rates and other factors. Estimates of resource potential may change significantly as development of our resource plays provides additional data.

In addition, our production forecasts and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells and the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity, which may be affected by significant commodity price or drilling cost changes. Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, available from our website at www.rangeresources.com or by written request to 100 Throckmorton Street, Suite 1200, Fort Worth, Texas 76102. You can also obtain this Form 10-K on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330.
