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, production and ad valorem taxes, general and administrative, interest and depletion, depreciation and amortization costs divided by production. “Cash margin” as used in this release represents cash revenues related to production less cash expenses related to production, which are comprised of expense categories included in “unit costs” excluding depletion, depreciation and amortization, but including brokered natural gas and marketing. “Cash margin per mcfe” represents cash margin divided by production. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a definition of each of the non-GAAP financial measures and the tables that reconcile each of the non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Appalachia Division
Division production for third quarter 2017 averaged 1.60 net Bcfe per day, a 15% increase over the prior-year quarter. The southwest properties averaged 1.45 net Bcfe per day during the quarter, an 18% increase over the prior-year quarter. The northeast properties averaged 153 net Mmcf per day during the quarter, a 9% decrease over the prior-year quarter. The division brought on line 22 wells in the third quarter, 11 in the super-rich area, 10 in the wet area, and one in the southwest dry area. As shown in the table above, the number of wells brought on line will increase in the fourth quarter when prices are expected to improve and new pipeline infrastructure becomes available.
The division continues to drill longer laterals, thereby improving capital efficiency by lowering well costs per foot and increasing recoveries. Lateral lengths in the third quarter averaged over 11,700 feet compared to an average lateral length of less than 6,171 feet in third quarter 2016. Average lateral lengths of 10,000 feet or greater is the expectation for 2018 as the Company’s goal of holding acreage and capturing resource potential is essentially complete and the focus is now on maximizing operational efficiencies and improving returns. The combination of longer laterals and additional completion efficiencies has allowed Range to lower total well costs on a normalized basis by 25%, as compared to the previous year.
Two recent four well pads were completed in the super-rich area with seven wells turned to sales in the third quarter. Both pads are examples of impressive liquids production in addition to gas. One pad had an average 24-hour IP per well of 41.7 Mmcfe per day consisting of 16.2 Mmcf of gas, 1,089 barrels of condensate and 3,172 barrels of NGLs. The wells were completed with an average lateral length of 9,478 feet with 48 stages. The other pad had an average 24-hour IP of 40.6 Mmcfe per day consisting of 12.7 Mmcf of gas, 1,755 barrels of condensate and 2,904 barrels of NGLs. The wells were completed with an average lateral length of 9,880 feet with 50 stages.
North Louisiana Division
Production for the division in the third quarter of 2017 averaged 360 net Mmcfe per day. The division brought seven wells on line during the quarter. The last three wells were previously disclosed at an energy conference in September, as they represent the first wells Range has operated from start to finish. The three wells continue to perform well, with the two Upper Red wells having 30 day rates to sales of 25.8 and 20.7 Mmcfe per day, with lateral lengths of 7,427 feet and 6,827 feet. A Lower Deep Pink well on the same pad averaged 20.2 Mmcfe per day to sales for 30 days. It appears to be the best Pink interval well drilled in the field to date.
Activity in the extension area to the south of Terryville is continuing, building upon the encouraging results previously announced. A well was recently completed in a new fault block south of Terryville and north of
The division expects to bring on line 16 wells in the fourth quarter.
Marketing and Transportation
During the next two quarters, several incremental natural gas transportation projects in southwest Appalachia are expected to commence operations. Once in service, Range’s natural gas transportation portfolio will be largely complete, allowing Marcellus natural gas volumes to be directed toward expanding markets, especially the
TransCanada’s Rayne/Leach Xpress project and Enbridge’s TETCO Adair Southwest project are both expected to be in service before the end of 2017, and Energy Transfer’s Rover Phase 2 project is expected to be available in early 2018. In combination, these projects will add an additional 900,000 Mmbtu per day to Range’s gross capacity and are expected to improve corporate natural gas differentials to NYMEX minus
Range is also well-positioned to benefit from the improving NGL macro environment. The Company reported NGL pre-hedge pricing improved to 35% of WTI in the third quarter, compared to 25% of WTI a year ago. This substantial improvement in NGL pricing realizations was led by propane, which achieved multi-year highs in September. As the only producer with propane capacity on Mariner East 1, Range has been able to capture above

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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 along with non-GAAP revenue disclosures.
Cash flow from operations before changes in working capital (sometimes referred to as “adjusted cash flow”) as defined in this release 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 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.
Cash margin as used in this release represents cash revenues related to production less cash expenses related to production as shown in the table below. Cash margin per mcfe represents cash margin divided by production, and is similar to a unit based gross profit calculation as used in other industries, which can be useful in comparing a measure of gross profitability between time periods. A reconciliation is provided in the table between cash margin and the related GAAP measure of income (loss) before income taxes. On its website, the Company provides additional comparative information on prior periods for cash flow, non-GAAP earnings and cash margin 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 statement of operations. The Company believes that it is important to furnish a table reflecting the details of the various components of each statement of operations 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 historically were 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.
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 Report on Form 10-K. The Company believes that it is important to furnish this detail of the various components comprising each line of the Statement of Operations to better inform the reader of the details of each amount, the changes between periods and the effect on its financial results.
All statements, except for statements of historical fact, made in this release 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, improving 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
