    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."

    Outlook

    Nabors expects the following metrics for the second quarter 2023:

    U.S. Drilling

    • Lower 48 average rig count of 85 rigs
    • Lower 48 adjusted gross margin per day of approximately $16,900 - $17,000

    International

    • Rig count approximately in-line with the first quarter average
    • Adjusted gross margin per day of approximately $15,900 - $16,100

    Drilling Solutions

    • Adjusted EBITDA up by approximately 3% above the first quarter level

    Rig Technologies

    • Adjusted EBITDA up by approximately $2 - $3 million vs the first quarter

    Capital Expenditures

    • Capital expenditures of $140 million, of which approximately $55 million supports newbuilds in Saudi Arabia
    • Expect reductions in our prior target capital expenditures for the full year 2023 in the Lower 48 and Colombia in line with the current market environment

    Adjusted Free Cash Flow

    • Adjusted free cash flow for the full year 2023 of approximately $400 million

    Mr. Petrello concluded, "Our first quarter results demonstrate the strength of our strategy. Our commitments to value-based rig pricing and disciplined capital spending, coupled with continued focus on growth of our advanced performance solutions and international operations, position us to make further progress on our financial goals in 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. 

    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.

    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)".

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.
