Exhibit 99.1

RPC, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results

ATLANTA, October 26, 2022 - RPC, Inc. (NYSE: RES) today announced its unaudited results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022. RPC provides a broad range of specialized oilfield services and equipment primarily to independent and major oilfield companies engaged in the exploration, production, and development of oil and gas properties throughout the United States and in selected international markets.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2022, RPC generated revenues of $459.6 million, an increase of 22.4 percent compared to $375.5 million in the second quarter of 2022, due to higher customer activity levels and pricing improvements, as well as an increasingly favorable job mix. Operating profit for the third quarter of 2022 was $92.2 million compared to an operating profit of $60.4 million in the second quarter of 2022. Net income for the third quarter of 2022 was $69.3 million, or $0.32 diluted earnings per share, compared to net income of $46.9 million, or $0.22 diluted earnings per share, in the second quarter of 2022. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA)1 for the third quarter of 2022 was $113.0 million, an increase of 40.3 percent, compared to $80.6 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Cost of revenues during the third quarter of 2022 was $309.8 million, or 67.4 percent of revenues, compared to $260.9 million, or 69.5 percent of revenues in the second quarter of 2022. Cost of revenues increased primarily due to increases in expenses consistent with higher activity levels, such as materials and supplies expenses, maintenance and repairs expenses, employment costs and fuel costs. Cost of revenues as a percentage of revenues decreased due to the leverage of direct employment costs over higher revenues coupled with improved pricing for RPC’s services.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $38.2 million, or 8.3 percent of revenues in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $35.9 million, or 9.6 percent of revenues in the prior quarter. Depreciation and amortization was $20.9 million in the third quarter of 2022 compared to $20.1 million in the second quarter of 2022.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, revenues increased 87.7 percent to $1.1 billion compared to $596.7 million for the same period last year. Net income for the nine-month period was $131.4 million, or $0.61 diluted earnings per share, compared to a net loss of $5.1 million, or $0.02 loss per share, in the same period last year.

1 EBITDA is a financial measure which does not conform to GAAP. Additional disclosure regarding this non-GAAP financial measure and its reconciliation to net income or net loss, the nearest GAAP financial measures, are disclosed in Appendix A to this press release.

Management Commentary

“RPC’s third quarter financial results reflect significant improvement as favorable industry fundamentals, including higher commodity prices, supported our customers’ decisions to enhance their drilling and completion activities. High activity levels coupled with a tight supply of oilfield equipment and crews allowed us to improve our utilization and pricing and generate strong financial results,” stated Ben M. Palmer, RPC’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Although a seasonal slowdown during the fourth quarter is possible, our visibility into early 2023 indicates continued strong demand for our services,” concluded Palmer.

Appendix A

RPC has used the non-GAAP financial measure of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in today's earnings release, and anticipates using EBITDA in today's earnings conference call. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.

RPC uses EBITDA as a measure of operating performance because it allows us to compare performance consistently over various periods without regard to changes in our capital structure or non-recurring items. We are also required to use EBITDA to report compliance with financial covenants under our revolving credit facility.

A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that either 1) excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of operations, balance sheet or statement of cash flows, or 2) includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Set forth below is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to EBITDA, the most comparable GAAP measure. This reconciliation also appears on RPC's investor website, which can be found on the Internet at rpc.net.

The Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA is shown below:
