Cautionary Statement Relating to Forward-Looking Statements and Non-GAAP Measures 2 Certain statements and information included in th is press release constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Secur ities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements include statements th at look forward in time or express management’s beliefs, expectations or h opes. In particular, such statements include, without limitation: our belief tha t our diversified offerings and strong brands and balance sheet provide res iliency; our statement that, despite our resilience, the challe nging environment continues to require disciplin ed execution; our belief that the oilfield serv ices market is likely to face additional headwinds during the fourth quarter in connection with o il prices recently dipping below $60 a barrel, expected holiday slow downs ,a n d customer budget exhaustion; our statement that we will continue to take incremental cost reductions; our statement that we will invest in our busines ses prudently and focus on full cycle returns; our expectation that the remaini ng Acquisition employment costs will be recognized equally over the next 1 0 quarters. Risk factors that could cause such future events not to occur as expected inclu d et h ef o l l o w i n g :t h ep r i c eo fo i la n dn a t u r a lg a sa n do v e r a l lp e r f o r m a n ceo ft h e U.S. economy, both of which can impact capital spending by our customers a nd demand for our services; the impact of tariffs, which may increase our cost of materials and impact our profitability, business interruptions due to adv erse weather conditions; changes in the competitive environment of our in dustry; political instability in the petroleum-producing regions of the world; the actions of the OPEC oil cartel; our customers’ drilling and production activities; the risk that our assessments, such as regarding the oversupplied nature of oilfield service s, will turn out incorrect; and our ability to identify and complete acqui sitions and/or other strategic investments or transactions. Additional factors that cou ld cause the actual results to differ ma terially from management’s projections, forecasts, estimates, and expectations are contained in RPC’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. RPC, Inc. has used the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted revenues, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin,a d j u s t e d earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow in today's earnings release. These measures should not be considered ini s o l a t i o no r as a substitute for performance or liquidity measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that presenting these non-GAAP measures, other than free cash flow, enables investors to compare the operating performance of o ur core business consistently over various time periods, and in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, without regard to changes in our capital structure. Management believes that free cash flow, which measures our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations, is an important financial measure for use in evaluati n gR P C ' sl i q u i d i t y .F r e ec a s hf l o ws h o u l db ec o n s i d e r e di na d d i t i o nt o ,r a ther than as a substitute for, net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of ou r liquidity. Additionally, RPC’s definition of free cash flow is limited, in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures, due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Therefore, management believes it is important to view free cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. A non-GAAP financial measure is a numerical measure of financial performance, financial position, or cash flows that either 1) excludes amounts, or i s 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 in the appendices below are reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures with their most directly comparable GAAP measures. These reconciliations also appear on RPC, Inc.'s investor website, which can be found atwww.rpc.net.

Industry Key Themes 9 Oilfield services is capital intensive and highly competitive. Efficiency gains in pressure pumping (PP) have created excess industry capacity Insufficient demand to absorb increased capacity driving price competition to maximize utilization RPC has remained disciplined, opting to idle assets rather than burn equipment on low-return projects E&P consolidation has been swift >>> fewer, larger customers, though more consistent production and capital discipline Several large private customers have been acquired by larger public E&Ps Capital discipline resulting in large E&Ps reducing production volatility RPC is focused on strengthening its customer mix with acquisitions and increasing its presence with larger, Tier 1 customers OFS consolidation is likely to pick up; OFS small-cap publics lack scale (often have high leverage), while privates are often small and under- capitalized Large E&Ps favor OFS provider scale Potential cost synergies and other scale benefits from OFS mergers RPC has strong balance sheet and is an acquirer of choice for smaller privates given service line independence; private equity unlikely to invest substantial new capital in OFS Frac fleet evolution has accelerated with more large E&Ps requiring modern/upgraded Tier 4 dual-fuel (DGB) or electric assets Pressure pumpers have made significant investments in both dual-fuel (DGB) and electric assets RPC investments focused on Tier 4 DGB; not yet invested in electric, but will likely address strategically to expand our frac customer base and strengthen customer mix

10 RPC Offers a Diversified Portfolio of Services, Mostly at the Customers’ Well Sites During Completion What is well completion? • Installation and cementing of production casing into a drilled well • Preparation of the cased well to begin producing hydrocarbons - Perforation (using wireline services) of the well casing to allow hydrocarbons to flow into the well - Stimulation of one or more zones using hydraulic fracturing (or pressure pumping) to expose surface area of hydrocarbon-producing zones - Drilling out bridge plugs (using coiled tubing and downhole tools) used to isolate fracturing zones during stimulation A multi-stage unconventional completion operation. This well bore has many perforations to expose it to a horizontal production zone. RPC’s cementing, hydraulic fracturing, perforating, coiled tubing, and downhole tools and motors could be used to conduct this completion operation.

24 Company Snapshot Third Quarter 2025 Earnings Release Summary Third Quarter 2025 Results • Revenues increased 6% sequentially to $447.1 million • Net income was $13.0 million, up 28% se quentially, and diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS) was $0.06; Net income margin increased 50 basis points sequentially to 2.9% • Adjusted net income, was $18.4 million, up 5% sequentially, and adjusted diluted Earnings per Share (EPS) was $0.09; Adjusted net income margin remained relatively unchanged at 4.1% • Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) was $72.3 million, up 10% sequentially; Adjusted EBITDA margin increased 60 basis points sequentially to 16.2% Management Commentary “Sequentially we saw most of our service line revenues improve including pressure pumping, which saw a 14% increase from a soft second quarter. Cudd Pressure Control’s coiled tubing business also posted a 19% increase, supported by the deployment of a new large diameter unit. Additionally, Thru-Tubing Solutions’ downhole tools business continued to experience strong demand, driven by new product introductions that deliver leading performance for our customers. Patterson Services’ rental tools and Pintail’s wireline also saw modest increases in the quarter,” stated Ben M. Palmer, RPC’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our diversified offerings, strong brands, and balance sheet provide resiliency, yet the challenging environment continues to require disciplined execution.” “During the quarter we saw signs of stabilization, and even improvement, with August and September results higher than the June lows. However, with oil prices recently dipping below $60 a barrel and expected holiday slow downs and customer budget exhaustion, the oilfield services market is likely to face additional headwinds during the fourth quarter. Given these market conditions, we have and will continue to make incremental cost reductions during the quarter. We will invest in our businesses prudently and focus on full cycle returns.”

27 NON-GAAP MEASURES RPC, Inc. has used the non-GAAP financial measures of adjusted revenues, adjusted operating income, adjusted net income, adjusted net income margin, adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin and free cash flow in today's earnings release. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance or liquidity measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management believes that presenting these non-GAAP measures, other than free cash flow, enables investors to compare the operating performance of our core business consistently over various time periods, and in the case of Adjusted EBITDA, without regard to changes in our capital structure. Management believes that free cash flow, which measures our ability to generate additional cash from our business operations, is an important financial measure for use in evaluating RPC's liquidity. Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, rather than as a substitute for, net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. Additionally, RPC’s definition of free cash flow is limited, in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures, due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Therefore, management believes it is important to view free cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. 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 in the appendices below are reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures with their most directly comparable GAAP measures. These reconciliations also appear on RPC, Inc.'s investor website, which can be found at www.rpc.net.
