Nabors Announces Third Quarter 2023 Results
HAMILTON, Bermuda, October 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ - Nabors Industries Ltd. (“Nabors” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NBR) today reported third quarter 2023 operating revenues of $734 million, compared to operating revenues of $767 million in the second quarter. The net loss attributable to Nabors shareholders for the quarter was $49 million, compared to net income of $5 million in the second quarter. This equates to a loss of $6.26 per diluted share, compared to a loss per diluted share of $0.31 in the second quarter. The third quarter results included a charge, related to mark-to-market treatment of Nabors warrants, of $8 million, or $0.86 per diluted share, compared to a gain of $18 million, or $1.95 per diluted share, in the second quarter. Third quarter adjusted EBITDA was $210 million, compared to $235 million in the previous quarter.
Anthony G. Petrello, Nabors Chairman, CEO and President, commented, “Drilling activity across our markets generally met our expectations. As we had anticipated in the Lower 48, rig count decreased in the third quarter but it appears to have bottomed, while leading-edge pricing also seems to have stabilized. The reduced drilling activity in the U.S. did impact our Nabors Drilling Solutions and Rig Technologies results somewhat more than we expected. In line with our forecasts, international markets have continued to expand with higher pricing.
“During the quarter we experienced challenges with our newbuild rigs and some of their critical components in Saudi Arabia, which resulted in deployment delays and significant downtime. We are currently addressing the quality assurance issues on these assets delivered by our third-party supplier. We expect our supplier’s performance to improve rapidly as its local manufacturing experience increases.
“On the positive side, margins in our Lower 48 operation remained at higher levels than in any prior upcycle. During the third quarter we saw the early signs of the expected market upturn. In preparation, we have 14 warm stacked rigs ready to return to work immediately at minimum cost, as soon as drilling activity turns around.
“In our International segment, multiple rigs commenced operations, contributing to an increase in sequential revenue. We are encouraged by the prospects for a significant number of additional rigs in our international markets through 2024 and beyond.
“Broad demand for our technology portfolio in Nabors Drilling Solutions drove meaningful increases in U.S. third-party and international revenue.
“In Rig Technologies, our Energy Transition initiatives continued to gain momentum as we expanded our PowerTAP deployments, and our customers increased their demand for our innovative solutions.”
Segment Results
The U.S. Drilling segment reported $117.4 million in adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2023. Nabors’ average Lower 48 rig count totaled 74. Daily adjusted gross margin in the Lower 48 market averaged $15,855.

International Drilling adjusted EBITDA totaled $96.2 million. Improved results across multiple markets were offset by start-up expenses in Saudi Arabia and lower rig count in Colombia and Kuwait. International rig count averaged 77, in line with the previous quarter. Daily adjusted gross margin for the third quarter averaged $15,778, down approximately 3% from the prior quarter.
Drilling Solutions adjusted EBITDA declined sequentially by approximately $2.3 million, to $30.4 million. Growth of 8% in both U.S. third-party revenue and international operations was more than offset by decreased Lower 48 activity on the reductions in Nabors rig count.
In Rig Technologies, adjusted EBITDA totaled $7.2 million, compared to $6.4 million in the second quarter. Increases in aftermarket margins and growth from the Energy Transition products accounted for the sequential improvement in adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Adjusted free cash flow was negative $5 million in the third quarter. Capital expenditures totaled $157 million, which included $52 million for the newbuilds in Saudi Arabia. This compares to $152 million in the second quarter, including $66 million supporting the newbuilds in Saudi Arabia.
At the end of the third quarter, net debt was $2.1 billion.
William Restrepo, Nabors CFO, stated, “The results delivered by our operating rigs were encouraging. Our rig count in the Lower 48 held up well in the third quarter despite total market rig count landing a bit below expectations. In addition, our revenue per day and daily gross margin remained near the record high levels set the prior quarter. We remain well positioned to take advantage of any recovery in U.S. drilling activity. Internationally we continued to deploy rigs at attractive pricing, offsetting the contract expirations in Colombia and Kuwait. In the fourth quarter we expect rig count increases in the U.S. as well as in international markets, as compared to the current levels. And we expect Nabors Drilling Solutions to resume its growth trajectory.
“During the quarter, on top of the $5 million EBITDA shortfall on our new builds in Saudi Arabia, we faced several unexpected items that negatively affected our adjusted free cash flow. Most of these were one-offs or timing shifts across quarters. Capital expenditures were the largest of these items as they exceeded our forecast by $33 million. This increase was driven by higher capital spending in Saudi Arabia and by the $9.5 million purchase of our operating base in Vaca Muerta, Argentina. We had been attempting without success to lock in this critical facility over the last couple of years and had the opportunity to do so during the third quarter. We expect capital spending to fall materially in the fourth quarter as these items should not repeat. In addition, our accounts receivable and other working capital items were approximately $40 million higher than we had forecast at the end of last quarter. We expect this impact to reverse in the fourth quarter.
“Mainly as a result of higher capital expenditures, an EBITDA shortfall in Saudi Arabia of $11 million in the second half, and lower NDS and Rig Technologies EBITDA of about $13 million combined in the second half, our full year free cash flow is now expected to total $225 to $250 million, as compared to our prior forecast at the end of the second quarter of $300 to $350 million. The impact from higher capital expenditures during the second half, an increment of approximately $40 million, comes from the acceleration of deployments in Algeria, which will shift $20 million in capital expenditures from early 2024 into the fourth quarter of 2023, from capital spending in Saudi Arabia which is expected to be some $10 million higher than forecast earlier, and from the acquisition of the Vaca Muerta base, which was not part of our prior forecast.

“We are now beginning the forecasting process for 2024. Although we are not yet ready to discuss these projections, we do expect meaningful year over year increases in both EBITDA and free cash flow.”

Mr. Petrello concluded, “As we look to the fourth quarter, we expect improvements in our financial results, especially in free cash flow. With the international expansion already in hand, and the indications we have seen for growth in the U.S., we are positioned for meaningful improvement in 2024. The momentum we are now generating with our Energy Transition initiatives gives us additional confidence in this positive outlook.”

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.

| (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. |

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.
