NEWS RELEASE

 

Nabors Announces First Quarter 2023 Results

 

HAMILTON, Bermuda, April 24, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Nabors Industries Ltd. (“Nabors” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NBR) today reported first quarter 2023 operating revenues of $779 million, an increase of 2.5%, compared to operating revenues of $760 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The net income attributable to Nabors shareholders for the quarter was $49 million, or $4.11 per diluted share. This compares to a loss of $69 million, or $7.87 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter. The first quarter results included a gain, related to mark-to-market treatment of Nabors warrants, of $34 million, or $3.48 per diluted share. The quarter also included a $25 million, or $2.06 per diluted share, gain on the redemption of debt. Results for the fourth quarter of 2022 included a mark-to-market charge of $36 million, or $3.98 per diluted share, for the warrants. Excluding the impact of the Nabors warrants on each quarter’s results and the debt redemption gain, the net loss improved sequentially by $28 million. First quarter adjusted EBITDA was $240 million, compared to $230 million in the previous quarter.

 

Anthony G. Petrello, Nabors Chairman, CEO and President, commented, “Our overall results for the first quarter were essentially in line with our expectations. Total adjusted EBITDA increased, driven by growth in the U.S. Drilling and Drilling Solutions segments. In U.S. Drilling, adjusted daily gross margin in the Lower 48 market reached a new record. Drilling Solutions’ growth was broad-based across service lines.”

 

“In the Lower 48, we continued repricing our rigs upward. Daily rig revenue increased by more than $3,700. Daily gross margin increased by more than $2,000.”

 

“In our International segment, results benefitted from a full quarter of our second newbuild rig in Saudi Arabia. The remaining three rigs of the initial five awards are expected to commence operations over the balance of 2023. Construction of the second tranche of five units commenced during the quarter, with deployment expected to begin around the end of 2023.”

 

“Revenue and adjusted EBITDA in our Drilling Solutions segment increased by 5% in the first quarter. Third party revenue increased 10% sequentially, affirming our strategy to target this market.”

 

“In the Rig Technologies segment, revenue and adjusted EBITDA from our Energy Transition solutions increased, demonstrating the growing demand for this portfolio. Installations of several of these solutions increased in the first quarter, demonstrating their rapid acceptance in the market.”

 

“Also during the quarter, the planned business combination between Nabors affiliate Nabors Energy Transition Corporation (NYSE: NETC, NETC.U, NETC.WS) and Vast Pty Ltd (“Vast”) was announced. With its innovative technology, Vast is positioned at the forefront of next-generation concentrated solar power. This combination reinforces Nabors’ commitment to the energy transition.”

Segment Results

 

The U.S. Drilling segment reported $156.5 million in adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2023, a 9% increase from the prior quarter. Nabors’ average Lower 48 rig count, at 93, decreased by two rigs. Daily adjusted gross margin in the Lower 48 market averaged $16,690, more than 14% above the prior quarter.

 

International Drilling adjusted EBITDA totaled $88.6 million. Improved performance and higher dayrates on renewal contracts in Saudi Arabia contributed to the results. The International rig count averaged 76.4, up one rig sequentially. Daily adjusted gross margin for the first quarter averaged $15,222, up $320 from the prior quarter.

 

Drilling Solutions adjusted EBITDA increased sequentially by 5% to $31.9 million. Growth was especially strong in the Performance Software and Managed Pressure Drilling product lines.

 

In Rig Technologies, adjusted EBITDA totaled $5.0 million, compared to $7.6 million in the fourth quarter. Delays in deliveries of capital equipment components largely accounted for the sequential decline in adjusted EBITDA.

 

Adjusted Free Cash Flow

 

Adjusted free cash flow totaled $37 million in the first quarter, primarily driven by higher financial results, strong collections, and disciplined capital spending. Capital expenditures for the first quarter totaled $119 million, including $37 million supporting the newbuilds in Saudi Arabia.

 

At the end of the first quarter, net debt was $2.087 billion.

 

William Restrepo, Nabors CFO, stated, “We are pleased with the strength of our cash flow generation in the first quarter, as well as our expectations for the second quarter and the remainder of the year. Despite the softness in several of the Lower 48’s predominantly gas basins, our rig count and pricing held up relatively well in this market, and we continued to deliver increases in daily revenue, gross margin, and EBITDA. Our International and Drilling Solutions segments continued to demonstrate solid performance, with multiple paths toward continued growth.

 

Our target of $400 million in adjusted free cash flow for 2023 remains unchanged. We reconfirm our commitment to improve our capital structure and reduce leverage this year.

 

“Recently, that priority was highlighted by the issue of $250 million of convertible notes maturing in 2029, with the proceeds used to redeem our 9% senior notes due in 2025. This transaction effectively extends the maturity of approximately $209 million of our outstanding notes by four years and reduces the annual cost of our debt by more than $15 million. In addition, during the second quarter we intend to redeem the remaining $52 million of the September 2023 notes using the quarter’s cash flow generation.”

Nabors expects the following metrics for the second quarter 2023:

Forward-looking Statements

 

The information included in this press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, as disclosed by Nabors from time to time in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result of these factors, Nabors' actual results may differ materially from those indicated or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release reflect management's estimates and beliefs as of the date of this press release. Nabors does not undertake to update these forward-looking statements.

 

 

 

NEWS RELEASE

 

Non-GAAP Disclaimer

 

This press release presents certain “non-GAAP” financial measures. The components of these non-GAAP measures are computed by using amounts that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Adjusted operating income (loss) represents income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, interest expense, investment income (loss), and other, net. Adjusted EBITDA is computed similarly, but also excludes depreciation and amortization expenses. In addition, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) exclude certain cash expenses that the Company is obligated to make. Net debt is calculated as total debt minus the sum of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

 

Adjusted free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sales of assets. Management believes that adjusted free cash flow is an important liquidity measure for the company and that it is useful to investors and management as a measure of the company’s ability to generate cash flow, after reinvesting in the company for future growth, that could be available for paying down debt or other financing cash flows, such as dividends to shareholders. Management believes that this non-GAAP measure is useful information to investors when comparing our cash flows with the cash flows of other companies.

 

Each of these non-GAAP measures has limitations and therefore should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management evaluates the performance of its operating segments and the consolidated Company based on several criteria, including Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income (loss), net debt, and adjusted free cash flow, because it believes that these financial measures accurately reflect the Company’s ongoing profitability and performance. Securities analysts and investors also use these measures as some of the metrics on which they analyze the Company’s performance. Other companies in this industry may compute these measures differently. Reconciliations of consolidated adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, net debt to total debt, and adjusted free cash flow to net cash provided by operations, which are their nearest comparable GAAP financial measures, are included in the tables at the end of this press release. We do not provide a forward-looking reconciliation of our outlook for Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Gross Margin or Adjusted Free Cash Flow, as the amount and significance of items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures cannot be estimated at this time without unreasonable efforts. These special items could be meaningful.

(1) Includes our oilfield equipment manufacturing activities.
   
(2) Represents the elimination of inter-segment transactions related to our Rig Technologies operating segment.
   
(3) Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit), investment income (loss), interest expense, other, net and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. In addition, adjusted EBITDA excludes certain cash expenses that the Company is obligated to make. However, management evaluates the performance of its operating segments and the consolidated Company based on several criteria, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss), because it believes that these financial measures accurately reflect the Company’s ongoing profitability and performance.  Securities analysts and investors use this measure as one of the metrics on which they analyze the Company’s performance.  Other companies in this industry may compute these measures differently.  A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to net income (loss), which is the most closely comparable GAAP measure, is provided in the table set forth immediately following the heading "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Net Income (Loss)".
   
(4) Represents the elimination of inter-segment transactions and unallocated corporate expenses.
   
(5) Adjusted operating income (loss) represents net income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit), investment income (loss), interest expense  and other, net. Adjusted operating income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. In addition, adjusted operating income (loss) excludes certain cash expenses that the Company is obligated to make. However, management evaluates the performance of its operating segments and the consolidated Company based on several criteria, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss), because it believes that these financial measures accurately reflect the Company’s ongoing profitability and performance.  Securities analysts and investors use this measure as one of the metrics on which they analyze the Company’s performance.  Other companies in this industry may compute these measures differently.  A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to net income (loss), which is the most closely comparable GAAP measure, is provided in the table set forth immediately following the heading "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Net Income (Loss)".
   
(6) Rig revenue days represents the number of days the Company's rigs are contracted and performing under a contract during the period.  These would typically include days in which operating, standby and move revenue is earned.
   
(7) Average rigs working represents a measure of the average number of rigs operating during a given period.  For example, one rig operating 45 days during a quarter represents approximately 0.5 average rigs working for the quarter.  On an annual period, one rig operating 182.5 days represents approximately 0.5 average rigs working for the year.  Average rigs working can also be calculated as rig revenue days during the period divided by the number of calendar days in the period.
   
(8) Daily rig revenue represents operating revenue, divided by the total number of revenue days during the quarter.
   
(9) Daily adjusted gross margin represents operating revenue less direct costs, divided by the total number of rig revenue days during the quarter.
   
(10) The U.S. Drilling segment includes the Lower 48, Alaska, and Gulf of Mexico operating areas.

(1) Adjusted operating income (loss) represents net income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit), investment income (loss), interest expense, and other, net. Adjusted operating income (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. In addition, adjusted operating income (loss) excludes certain cash expenses that the Company is obligated to make. However, management evaluates the performance of its operating segments and the consolidated Company based on several criteria, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss), because it believes that these financial measures accurately reflect the Company’s ongoing profitability and performance.  Securities analysts and investors use this measure as one of the metrics on which they analyze the Company’s performance.  Other companies in this industry may compute these measures differently.  

 

(2) Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit), investment income (loss), interest expense, other, net and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. In addition, adjusted EBITDA excludes certain cash expenses that the Company is obligated to make. However, management evaluates the performance of its operating segments and the consolidated Company based on several criteria, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss), because it believes that these financial measures accurately reflect the Company’s ongoing profitability and performance.  Securities analysts and investors use this measure as one of the metrics on which they analyze the Company’s performance.  Other companies in this industry may compute these measures differently.

Adjusted free cash flow  $37,298   $(39,233)  $101,307 

 

Adjusted free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sales of assets.  Management believes that adjusted free cash flow is an important liquidity measure for the company and that it is useful to investors and management as a measure of the company’s ability to generate cash flow, after reinvesting in the company for future growth, that could be available for paying down debt or other financing cash flows, such as dividends to shareholders.  Adjusted free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.  Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, cash flow from operations reported in accordance with GAAP.

NABORS.COM We often discuss expectations regarding our future markets, demand for our products and services, and our performance in our annual, quarterly, and current reports, press releases, and other written and oral statements. Such statements, including statements in this document that relate to matters that are not historical facts, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These “forward-looking statements” are based on our analysis of currently available competitive, financial and economic data and our operating plans. They are inherently uncertain, and investors should recognize that events and actual results could turn out to be significantly different from our expectations. Factors to consider when evaluating these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: • actual and potential political or economic instability, civil disturbance, war or acts of terrorism involving any of the countries in which we do business; • the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact on oil and gas markets and prices; • fluctuations and volatility in worldwide prices of and demand for oil and natural gas; • fluctuations in levels of oil and natural gas exploration and development activities; • fluctuations in the demand for our services; • competitive and technological changes and other developments in the oil and gas and oilfield services industries; • our ability to renew customer contracts in order to maintain competitiveness; • the existence of operating risks inherent in the oil and gas and oilfield services industries; • the possibility of the loss of one or a number of our large customers; • the impact of long-term indebtedness and other financial commitments on our financial and operating flexibility; • our access to and the cost of capital, including the impact of a further downgrade in our credit rating, covenant restrictions, availability under our revolving credit facility, and future issuances of debt or equity securities; • our dependence on our operating subsidiaries and investments to meet our financial obligations; 2 Forward Looking Statements • our ability to retain skilled employees; • our ability to complete, and realize the expected benefits of, strategic transactions; • changes in tax laws and the possibility of changes in other laws and regulation; • the possibility of changes to U.S. trade policies and regulations including the imposition of trade embargoes or sanctions; and • general economic conditions, including inflation, rising interest rates and the general status of the capital and credit markets. Our businesses depend, to a large degree, on the level of spending by oil and gas companies for exploration, development and production activities. Therefore, sustained lower oil or natural gas prices that have a material impact on exploration, development or production activities could also materially affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The above description of risks and uncertainties is by no means all-inclusive but is designed to highlight what we believe are important factors to consider. For a discussion of these factors and other risks and uncertainties, please refer to our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including those contained in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are available at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation refers to certain “non-GAAP” financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, net debt and adjusted free cash flow. The components of these non-GAAP measures are computed by using amounts that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Reconciliations of non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measures are provided in the Appendix at the end of this presentation.

NABORS.COM 28 Reconciliation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Adjusted free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sales of assets. Management believes that adjusted free cash flow is an important liquidity measure for the company and that it is useful to investors and management as a measure of the company’s ability to generate cash flow, after reinvesting in the company for future growth, that could be available for paying down debt or to return to shareholders through dividend payments or share repurchases. Adjusted free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, cash flow from operations reported in accordance with GAAP. Three Months Ended March 2023 Net cash provided by operating activities $154,050 Add: Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sales of assets (116,752) Adjusted free cash flow $37,298 (In Thousands)
