NEWS RELEASE |
Nabors Announces First Quarter 2024 Results
HAMILTON, Bermuda, April 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ - Nabors Industries Ltd. (“Nabors” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NBR) today reported first quarter 2024 operating revenues of $734 million, compared to operating revenues of $726 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. The net loss attributable to Nabors shareholders for the quarter was $34 million, compared to a net loss of $17 million in the fourth quarter. This equates to a loss of $4.54 per diluted share, compared to a loss per diluted share of $2.70 in the fourth quarter. The first quarter results included a gain, related to mark-to-market treatment of Nabors warrants, of $6 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, compared to a gain of $10 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter. First quarter adjusted EBITDA was $221 million, compared to $230 million in the previous quarter.
Highlights
o | Awarded three rigs in Argentina, on multiyear contracts with attractive economics. The Company will redeploy inactive rigs from the Lower 48 market. These awards further solidify Nabors’ position in this key market. |
o | Received notification of commercial qualification for three rigs in a major market in the Middle East. The Company plans to deploy existing in-country rigs for this opportunity. |
o | A Lower 48 drilling contractor has begun standardizing its entire fleet to Nabors RigCLOUD® platform. This development clearly demonstrates the value of Nabors third-party strategy. |
o | Canrig received an order for six land drilling packages from an existing client in the Middle East. This latest order is recognition of the excellent track record we have established with this customer. |
o | Nabors was named a double finalist for the Reuters Global Energy Transition Awards 2024 in the “Portfolio Transformation” and “Technology Whitespace” categories. |
Anthony G. Petrello, Nabors Chairman, CEO and President, commented, “Our first quarter operating results were stronger than we expected, driven by resilient pricing and lower costs in our Lower 48 drilling operations, as well as higher than forecast OEM repair revenue and energy transition revenue in our Rig Technologies segment.
NEWS RELEASE |
“Rig count increased in our International segment, driven by rig startups in Saudi Arabia and Algeria, as part of our commitment to deploy seven rigs in these two countries during 2024. We have also received recent awards in Argentina for three more rigs. I believe we are in the midst of the largest opportunity that we’ve seen in the last decade to strengthen our international business.
“Pricing in the Lower 48 market remained firm, as utilization of our highest specification rigs stayed strong across several important markets. Average rig count increased compared to the prior quarter, but was slightly below our estimates, mainly reflecting activity reductions in natural gas basins. Results in our Drilling Solutions segment reflected lower activity in the Lower 48, partially offset by better growth from international markets.”
Segment Results
The U.S. Drilling segment reported first quarter adjusted EBITDA of $120.4 million, compared to $118.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. Nabors’ first quarter Lower 48 average rig count totaled 72, up from 70 in the prior quarter. Daily adjusted gross margin in that market averaged $16,011, a decrease of $229 sequentially.
International Drilling adjusted EBITDA totaled $102.5 million, compared to $105.5 million in the fourth quarter. Rig count averaged 81, up from 80 in the previous quarter, driven by rig startups in Algeria and the prior start of a newbuild in Saudi Arabia. The impact of this higher rig count was offset by downtime related to rig certification requirements following recent contract renewals in Saudi Arabia, as well as labor unrest on several rigs in Colombia. Daily adjusted gross margin for the fourth quarter averaged $16,061. International Drilling segment revenue of $355 million increased by 9% compared to the first quarter of 2023, as average rig count increased by nearly five rigs.
Drilling Solutions adjusted EBITDA was $31.8 million, compared to $34.5 million in the fourth quarter. Revenue on Nabors rigs operating in the Lower 48 and international markets increased sequentially.
In Rig Technologies, adjusted EBITDA reached $6.8 million, versus $8.8 million in the fourth quarter. OEM rental and repair EBITDA increased sequentially, while other aftermarket, capital equipment, and energy transition EBITDA declined following seasonally strong year end deliveries.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Adjusted free cash flow was $8 million in the first quarter. Capital expenditures totaled $112 million, which included $35 million supporting the newbuilds in Saudi Arabia. This compares to $124 million in the fourth quarter, including $43 million supporting the newbuilds.
William Restrepo, Nabors CFO, stated, “Results across our operations were higher than we forecast. The strength of the international drilling markets continues to surprise us to the upside with the recent awards in Argentina and the notification in another Middle East market, on top of the material ongoing deployments in Saudi Arabia and Algeria. We restarted two rigs in Algeria during the first quarter, and a third in early April. Algeria has historically been an important market for Nabors, and the recommencement of operations with existing rigs marks a key development for us. Looking to the second quarter, we expect our international rig count to increase with a newbuild in Saudi Arabia and the fourth rig in Algeria. We expect the ongoing deployments and the more recent awards, as well as several open opportunities, to generate a material increase in our International EBITDA over the already targeted increase for 2025.
NEWS RELEASE |
“Firm pricing in the Lower 48 bolstered daily gross margin. We again reduced costs in this market. Looking to the second quarter, we continue to experience sluggish activity in the natural gas basins. This should keep average rig count slightly below the average for the first quarter.
“We retired both the convertible notes that were due in January 2024 and the senior notes due in 2025, with the proceeds from our $650 million notes offering in the fourth quarter of 2023. Our next maturity is in 2026.
“We still have a number of open international tenders and active negotiations. It’s increasingly evident that the robust trends in our international segment should continue to provide us with high return opportunities with attractive payback periods. Nonetheless, we intend to avoid taking on more than we can afford. We will remain focused on generating free cash flow and reducing our net debt.”
Outlook
Nabors expects the following metrics for the second quarter of 2024:
U.S. Drilling
o | Lower 48 average rig count of approximately 70 rigs | |
o | Lower 48 daily adjusted gross margin of approximately $15,500 | |
o | Alaska and Gulf of Mexico adjusted EBITDA of approximately $21 million |
International
o | Average rig count up by two to three rigs versus the first quarter average | |
o | Daily adjusted gross margin of approximately $15,700 |
Drilling Solutions
o | Adjusted EBITDA of $30 - $32 million |
Rig Technologies
o | Adjusted EBITDA of $8 - $10 million |
Capital Expenditures
o | Capital expenditures of approximately $190 million, with approximately $70 million for the newbuilds in Saudi Arabia | |
o | Full-year capital expenditures of approximately $590 million, including funding for the recent rig awards |
Mr. Petrello concluded, “I am pleased with our early success to secure additional backlog in our international business. We are targeting several more opportunities and are optimistic for additional success. We also see growing adoption of our advanced technology, both in the U.S. on third-party rigs and in international markets. These developments validate our strategy and should drive future free cash flow.”

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, 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.
NEWS RELEASE |
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.

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.

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 INDUSTRIES LTD. April 24, 2024 1Q 2024 Earnings Presentation |
N A B O R S . C O M 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: • geopolitical events, pandemics (including COVID-19) and other macro-events and their respective and collective impact on our operations as well as 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 amount and nature of our future capital expenditures and how we expect to fund our capital expenditures; • The occurrence of cybersecurity incidents, attacks and other breaches to our information technology systems; • 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 and the global interest rate environment; • our dependence on our operating subsidiaries and investments to meet our financial obligations; Forward Looking Statements NABORS INDUSTRIES 2 • 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 • global views on and the regulatory environment related to energy transition and our ability to implement our energy transition initiatives; • potential long-lived asset impairments • the possibility of changes to U.S. trade policies and regulations including the imposition of trade embargoes, sanctions or tariffs; 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. 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, adjusted gross margin 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. |

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.

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 evaluates the performance of its operating segments and the consolidated Company based on several criteria, including net debt, because it believes that this financial measure 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 company’s performance. Other companies in this industry may compute this measure differently.

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. |
