Range Resources (NYSE:RRC) Altman Z-Score Explanation
X1: The Working Capital/Total Assets (WC/TA) ratio is a measure of the net liquid assets of the firm relative to the total capitalization. Working capital is defined as the difference between current assets and current liabilities. Ordinarily, a firm experiencing consistent operating losses will have shrinking current assets in relation to total assets. Altman found this one proved to be the most valuable liquidity ratio comparing with the current ratio and the quick ratio. This is however the least significant of the five factors.
X2: Retained Earnings/Total Assets: the RE/TA ratio measures the leverage of a firm. Retained earnings is the account which reports the total amount of reinvested earnings and/or losses of a firm over its entire life. Those firms with high RE, relative to TA, have financed their assets through retention of profits and have not utilized as much debt.
X3, Earnings Before Interest and Taxes/Total Assets (EBIT/TA): This ratio is a measure of the true productivity of the firm's assets, independent of any tax or leverage factors. Since a firm's ultimate existence is based on the earning power of its assets, this ratio appears to be particularly appropriate for studies dealing with corporate failure. This ratio continually outperforms other profitability measures, including cash flow.
X4, Market Value of Equity/Book Value of Total Liabilities (MVE/TL): The measure shows how much the firm's assets can decline in value (measured by market value of equity plus debt) before the liabilities exceed the assets and the firm becomes insolvent.
X5, Revenue/Total Assets (S/TA): The capital-turnover ratio is a standard financial ratio illustrating the sales generating ability of the firm's assets.

Range Resources is an exploration and production firm whose operations represent a pure play in the Marcellus shale, located in the Appalachian region of Southwest Pennsylvania. The company went public as Lomak Petroleum in 1980 and later reorganized as Range Resources in 1998. After an expensive 10-year venture with a multi-basin strategy, Range Resources found its identity as an Appalachian natural gas producer, offloading its Permian assets in 2013. Range quickly became a leading US gas producer after its merger with Memorial Resource Development in 2016. Following the merger, Range saw its operational unit costs rise to an uncompetitive level and subsequently sold the assets in 2020 to return to its roots as an Appalachian producer.
