NEWS RELEASE |
Nabors Announces Third Quarter 2021 Results
HAMILTON, Bermuda, October 26, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Nabors Industries Ltd. (“Nabors” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NBR) today reported third quarter 2021 operating revenues of $524 million, compared to operating revenues of $489 million in the second quarter of 2021. The net loss from continuing operations attributable to Nabors shareholders for the quarter was $122 million, or $15.79 per share. The third quarter included a $13 million after tax expense, or $1.63 per share, related to the purchase of technology in the energy transition space. This compares to a loss of $196 million, or $26.59 per share, in the second quarter. The second quarter results included charges of $81 million after taxes, comprised mainly of an impairment of assets in Canada related to the sale of our Canada drilling rigs, and a tax reserve for contingencies in our International segment. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA was $125 million compared to $117 million in the second quarter.
Anthony G. Petrello, Nabors Chairman, CEO and President, commented, “Our performance in the third quarter was noteworthy on a number of fronts. Adjusted EBITDA increased by 7% versus the second quarter even with the sale of Canada drilling operations. All of our current segments grew sequentially. Once again, our free cash flow generation was excellent. That performance drove another improvement in our leverage. We reached notable milestones in our technology portfolio, which reinforces our leadership in innovation. In particular, we successfully deployed the industry’s first fully-automated PACE®-R rig for an operator in the Permian Basin. The R-801 utilizes Nabors’ full portfolio of digital solutions. It recently completed drilling its initial well with a total depth of 20,000 feet. We are proud of the performance delivered by this transformative and unique addition to our technology portfolio.
“In the third quarter, global oil prices remained above the $60 mark. Since the end of the quarter, they have climbed above $80. Natural gas prices have risen to levels not seen in over a decade. In turn, oilfield activity has strengthened. In our two largest markets – Saudi Arabia and the United States – both the industry’s and our own rig counts grew. In the U.S., pricing increased as industry utilization rose. Looking through the balance of this year and into 2022, we are optimistic that a continued favorable commodity environment will drive strong increases in rig count and pricing.”
Consolidated and Segment Results
International Drilling adjusted EBITDA increased sequentially by 7%, to $76.2 million. The rig count averaged 67 rigs, a one rig decrease from the second quarter. This change was driven primarily by rigs moving between clients in Latin America, partially offset by the reactivation of temporarily idled rigs in Saudi Arabia. Average margin per day was $14,375, an increase of $955, driven by $7 million in early termination revenue somewhat offset by the impact of lost margin from rig moves in Mexico.
The U.S. Drilling segment reported $62.1 million in adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2021, a 4% increase from the prior quarter. Nabors’ average Lower 48 rig count, at 68, increased by more than four rigs, or 6%. Average daily margins in the Lower 48 were $7,025, in line with the prior quarter. The U.S. Drilling segment’s rig count currently stands at 78, with 72 rigs in the Lower 48.
|
NEWS RELEASE |
In Drilling Solutions, adjusted EBITDA of $15.6 million increased by 22% reflecting stronger activity in performance drilling software, especially in the U.S., and in casing running services in both our U.S. and international markets.
In Rig Technologies, adjusted EBITDA increased to $3.0 million in the third quarter, up from $2.0 million in the second quarter. Higher international deliveries of capital equipment were the primary driver of this increase.
Outlook for the Fourth Quarter of 2021
International
| o | Quarterly average rig count is expected to increase by approximately four rigs over the third quarter average, primarily reflecting reactivations of two suspended rigs in Saudi Arabia and additional rigs in Latin America. | |
| o | Daily drilling margin is expected to decline to $13,000 - $13,500, primarily reflecting the non-recurring early termination revenue received in the third quarter. |
U.S. Drilling
| o | Quarterly average Lower 48 rig count is expected to increase by approximately five rigs over the third quarter average. | |
| o | Lower 48 daily drilling margin is expected to remain in line with the third quarter level, as the Company anticipates offsetting planned compensation increases with higher dayrates. | |
| o | Quarterly average Alaska rig count is expected to increase by approximately one rig over the third quarter level, while the quarterly average U.S. Offshore rig count is expected to remain substantially in line with the third quarter average. |
Drilling Solutions
| o | Adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase by approximately 10% over the third quarter level. |
Rig Technologies
| o | Adjusted EBITDA is expected to increase moderately above the third quarter level. |
Capital Expenditures
| o | Capital expenditures for the full year are expected to total approximately $270 million, including approximately $90 million supporting SANAD’s newbuild rig program. This translates into targeted fourth quarter capital expenditures of $91 million, of which $32 million is for SANAD newbuilds. |
Free Cash Flow and Capital Discipline
Free cash flow, defined as net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used by investing activities, as presented in the Company’s cash flow statement, totaled $133 million in the third quarter. This amount included proceeds from the sale of Canada drilling assets of $94 million offset by $16 million for energy transition investments. Capital expenditures accounted for $63 million while cash interest payments totaled $78 million. The Company improved net debt, defined as total debt less cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, by $120 million. For the first nine months of 2021, the Company generated free cash flow of $261 million.

NEWS RELEASE |
William Restrepo, Nabors CFO, stated, “The third quarter was a further demonstration of Nabors’ leading operational performance both in the U.S. and internationally, with the potential for meaningful growth in the year ahead. Our strong performance is also translating into robust free cash flow generation that has allowed us to reduce our net debt materially. We expect further net debt reductions in the fourth quarter and in 2022.
“With our rapid progress in technology introduction, our modern industry leading fleet and our close relationships with customers across the globe, Nabors has never been stronger operationally. And with our deleveraging efforts of the last five years, our capital structure and debt profile are considerably stronger than they have been in a long time. We believe we are much better positioned to keep reducing our leverage, while taking advantage of the exciting opportunities presented by an improving industry environment.”
Mr. Petrello concluded, “We are pleased with the level of our operational and financial performance. These allowed us to make further progress on our goals to generate free cash flow and reduce net debt. We have implemented multiple financial strategies to improve our leverage and they are delivering the desired results.
“We continue to advance on our Sustainability plans. We are on target to meet our commitment to reduce GHG emissions by 5% in the U.S. this year, and our Environmental and Social score metrics once again improved. We expect to make significant additional improvements on our emissions in the coming year.
“We took further steps to advance our efforts in the energy transition. We completed the third geothermal investment; all three companies in our portfolio have potentially disruptive technology. We also made additional development progress in the areas of energy storage, hydrogen, and carbon capture.
“As we approach the close of 2021 and look into 2022, we are optimistic that industry fundamentals will improve further. Nabors has the industry’s most talented workforce and a global fleet that is second-to-none. We have the most robust offering of apps and digital automation technology in the industry, and we are working to extend that leadership. With this combination, I am confident we will continue our advancement towards the achievement of our financial goals while simultaneously creating significant value for all of our stakeholders.”

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.
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, earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates, investment income (loss), (gain)/loss on debt buybacks and exchanges, impairments and other charges 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. Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for investing activities. Free cash flow is an indicator of our ability to generate cash flow after required spending to maintain or expand our asset base. 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 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 free cash flow to cash flow provided by operations, which are their nearest comparable GAAP financial measures, are included in the tables at the end of this press release.

| (3) | Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates, investment income (loss), impairments and other charges and other, net. 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 income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, 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 Income (loss) from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes". |

Forward Looking Statements • 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 political or economic instability, civil disturbance, war or acts of terrorism in any of the countries in which we do business; • the possibility of changes to U.S. trade policies and regulations including the imposition of trade embargoes or sanctions; and • general economic conditions, including 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 . Non - GAAP Financial Measures This presentation refers to certain “non - GAAP” financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, net debt and 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”) . A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, net debt to total debt, and free cash flow to net cash provided by operating activities, which are their nearest comparable GAAP financial measures, as provided in the Appendix at the end of this presentation . 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 27 A of the U . S . Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21 E 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: • 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; our ability to retain skilled employees; 2

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations before Income Tax 26 Adjusted EBITDA represents income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and a mor tization, earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates, investment income (loss), impairments and other charges and other, net. 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 certa in 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 c rit eria, including adjusted EBITDA, because it believes that this financial measure accurately reflects the Company’s ongoing profitability and performance. Sec uri ties 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 this measur es differently. A reconciliation of this non - GAAP measure to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, which is the most closely comparable GAAP measu re, is provided below.

This non - GAAP measure has limitations and therefore should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management eval uat es the performance of its operating segments and the consolidated Company based on several criteria, including net debt, because it believes that this financial mea sure accurately measures the Company’s liquidity. In addition, securities analysts and investors use this measure as one of the metrics on which they analyze the comp any’s performance.
