Form 8-K filed February 8, 2022 Exhibit 99.1 Segment Reporting, page 3 1. We note the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted operating income (loss) for each of your reportable segments. Please revise your disclosure as it appears Adjusted EBITDA by segment should be reconciled to Adjusted operating income (loss) by segment as it is the measure used by management to evaluate segment performance. Refer to Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K. 2. Tell us whether Daily Rig Margin is a non-GAAP measure for which disclosure pursuant to Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K should be provided. In addition, revise to explain how Daily Rig Revenue is calculated. William Restrepo Nabors Industries, Ltd. March 24, 2022 Page 2 Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes, page 5 3. Please revise to reconcile the non-GAAP measures Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted operating income (loss) in a manner that gives prominence to the most directly comparable GAAP-basis measure. Refer to Item 10(e)(1)(i)(A) of Regulation S-K and question 102.10 of the Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow to Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities, page 7 4. Please revise the title used for the non-GAAP measure Free cash flow as it is not calculated in the typical manner. Also, your statement that Free cash flow is an indicator of your ability to generate cash flow after required spending to maintain or expand your asset base does not appear to be appropriate. Refer to question of the 102.07 of the Compliance & Disclosure Interpretations regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures. Exhibit 99.2, page 1 5. We note the presentation of certain measures in your earnings presentation such as, but not limited to, Combined Drilling and Solutions daily margin and Combined gross margin on page 5 and Annual EBITDA per rig for SANAD on page 10. Please tell us whether these are non-GAAP measures and how you considered the disclosure requirements per Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K and Regulation G for the non-GAAP measures not identified in the Appendix. In addition, tell us how the measure of gross margin shown on page 3 of your earnings presentation is calculated. 6. Consider the above comments as they relate to the Appendix section (e.g., the reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Operating Income (loss)). In closing, we remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff.
