Nabors 3Q2010 EPS Equals $0.29 From Continuing Operations, Excluding
Acquisition Expenses and Certain Non-Cash Asset Impairments
</pre> <p>HAMILTON, <span class="xn-location">Bermuda</span>, <span class="xn-chron">Oct. 26</span> /CNW/ -- Nabors Industries Ltd. (NYSE: NBR) today announced its results for the third quarter and nine months ended <span class="xn-chron">September 30, 2010</span>. Adjusted income derived from operating activities was <span class="xn-money">$164.4 million</span> for the third quarter, compared to <span class="xn-money">$117.2 million</span> in the third quarter of 2009 and <span class="xn-money">$126.8 million</span> in the second quarter of this year. Excluding certain non-cash asset impairments and expenses related to the acquisition of Superior Well Services Inc., net income from continuing operations was <span class="xn-money">$84.7 million</span> (<span class="xn-money">$0.29</span> per diluted share) for the third quarter, compared to <span class="xn-money">$66.7 million</span> (<span class="xn-money">$0.23</span> per diluted share) in the third quarter of 2009 and <span class="xn-money">$44.0 million</span> (<span class="xn-money">$0.15</span> per diluted share) in the second quarter of this year. Including these charges, income from continuing operations was a loss of <span class="xn-money">$31.6 million</span> (<span class="xn-money">$0.11</span> per diluted share). For the nine months ended <span class="xn-chron">September 30, 2010</span>, adjusted income derived from operating activities was <span class="xn-money">$433.0 million</span>, compared to <span class="xn-money">$395.9 million</span> in 2009. Net income from continuing operations, excluding the aforementioned items, was <span class="xn-money">$172.2 million</span> (<span class="xn-money">$0.59</span> per diluted share) for the first nine months of 2010, compared to <span class="xn-money">$349.3 million</span> (<span class="xn-money">$1.23</span> per diluted share) in the first nine months of 2009. The excluded items during the quarter amounted to <span class="xn-money">$134 million</span>, or <span class="xn-money">$0.40</span> per share, the largest component of which was impairments to goodwill and various underutilized assets primarily in the Company's US Offshore operations. The drilling slowdown following the Gulf of <span class="xn-location">Mexico</span> blowout is likely to restrict utilization of these assets for some time. The impairments also included the writedown of an E&P investment. Because most of the Company's wholly owned and joint-venture interests in <span class="xn-location">Canada</span> and <span class="xn-location">Colombia</span> are being marketed for sale, their results have been classified as discontinued operations beginning this quarter.</p> <p/> <p><span class="xn-person">Gene Isenberg</span>, Nabors' Chairman and CEO, commented, "The quarter represented solid operational performance by most of our North American businesses. This is particularly notable considering the flat results in our International operations, a slight loss in our US Offshore unit and only 20 days of contribution from our recently acquired pressure pumping operations. GAAP net income reflected pre-tax charges of <span class="xn-money">$7 million</span> in acquisition transaction expenses and <span class="xn-money">$127 million</span> in non-cash asset impairment charges.</p> <p/> <p>"The most significant sequential increase occurred in our US Lower 48 operations which posted <span class="xn-money">$70.5 million</span> in operating income, compared to the <span class="xn-money">$58.2 million</span> this unit realized in the second quarter. The improvement was primarily due to an <span class="xn-money">$841</span> increase in average margins, bringing the quarterly average to <span class="xn-money">$8,629</span> per rig day, augmented by a ten-rig increase during the third quarter, bringing the average rig count to 182.2 rig years. Today's rig count stands slightly higher at 187 rigs. An important achievement during the quarter was the entry into long-term contractual commitments for 11 more new-build rigs, bringing the total to 23 for the year, including three economically equivalent major refurbishments. Eleven of these rigs are destined for the Bakken Shale where we enjoy a dominant position. Three of the remaining rigs will deploy in the Eagle Ford Shale, one in the Haynesville, the other five rigs to the Marcellus Shale, where we have a small but growing presence. The performance of our PACE® rigs, especially the new B Series, continues to lead to more inquiries and is supporting modest improvement in leading edge rates. The gap between these rates and our current average rates is significant but they continue to converge as contracts renew. Nevertheless, cost pressure still remains in the most active markets.</p> <p/> <p>"Recent increases in this unit's rig count are the net result of higher activity in the oil and liquids-rich drilling plays, significantly offset by reduced dry gas drilling. We expect this trend to continue given the disparity between the forward strips for oil compared to natural gas. This is leading to a net modest improvement in our rig count through next year and keeps us cautiously optimistic regarding the 2011 outlook.</p> <p/> <p>"International income was <span class="xn-money">$64.4 million</span>, essentially flat compared to the second quarter. The sequential rig count increased by five rigs, averaging 103 for the quarter. The incremental contribution from these rigs was largely offset by a <span class="xn-money">$562</span> decrease in average rates. Along with most of the other larger oil service companies, we have further tempered our international outlook as the market continues to lag everyone's expectations. We now anticipate a sequential decrease on the order of 15% in the fourth quarter and foresee 2011 as essentially flat compared to 2010. We have a significant number of incremental rig deployments scheduled over the next five quarters, but the associated <span class="xn-money">$50 million</span> in additional income will be mostly offset by a large number of expiring contracts renewing at market rates. The largest negative impact is expected from three jackup rig renewals in the Arabian Gulf during the fourth, first and second quarters.</p> <p/> <p>"Income in our US Land Well Servicing unit was <span class="xn-money">$9.0 million</span>, a significant increase over the <span class="xn-money">$3.2 million</span> recorded in the second quarter. Rig hours in the quarter grew to 169,000, up 13,000 from second quarter, while average rig rates increased by <span class="xn-money">$25</span> per hour. This increased activity was enabled by the extraordinary overtime and rig reactivation expenses incurred last quarter. Today's level of activity represents a nearly 30% increase over last year, better than the industry average. The effective utilization of ready-to-run rigs and available crews combined with continuing strong oil prices augurs well for improved pricing industry wide. This pricing momentum, combined with further realization of synergistic opportunities through our newly acquired pressure pumping business, suggests solid results in the historically slow fourth quarter and a promising 2011, although still well below the peak levels this business achieved in 2006.</p> <p/> <p>"As expected, we incurred a <span class="xn-money">$1.1 million</span> loss in our US Offshore business due to the lower levels of activity in the Gulf of <span class="xn-location">Mexico</span> following the Macondo blowout. We expect a similar result in the fourth quarter, although we are cautiously optimistic the outlook will improve in 2011 in spite of ongoing permitting delays. However, we still expect activity in this market to be inhibited over the next few years given the more onerous regulatory environment, which led us to impair the carrying value of some of this unit's goodwill and underutilized assets. On the positive side, we are proceeding with engineering and construction of two first-of-a-kind 4,500 horsepower deepwater platform rigs recently awarded by two major customers. Both projects are scheduled to deploy in late 2012 and entail five to ten-year drilling programs. It is also likely that regulatory authorities will require that some 3,500 wells in the Gulf of <span class="xn-location">Mexico</span> be plugged and abandoned. This holds significant promise for our Sundowner platform and workover jackup rigs.</p> <p/> <p>"In <span class="xn-location">Canada</span>, we posted <span class="xn-money">$1.0 million</span> in operating income, a significant improvement over the <span class="xn-money">$9.5 million</span> loss in the seasonally low second quarter. We have significantly increased our income expectations for both this year and next as a result of higher activity and rigorous cost control. The higher activity is occurring in the British Columbia shale plays, the traditional oil areas of Alberta and Saskatchewan, and the emerging oil shale plays, particularly the Cardium Shale in south central Alberta. Another significant driver is drilling in support of potash development. This unit is building three new rigs, the first of which will deploy in our US Lower 48 operations. An award for the second rig is pending in <span class="xn-location">Canada</span>, and there is strong interest in the innovative design of the third rig, which is targeted at pad drilling applications and should deliver late next year.</p> <p/> <p>"Quarterly results in our Alaskan unit were higher than expected at <span class="xn-money">$14.3 million</span>, with extra income derived from higher rig activity, demobilization fees and camp rentals in support of various maintenance and construction projects. The quarter also benefited from the acceleration of deferred revenues triggered by the impending end of the primary term of a long-term contract. The end of this contract, the recent wind up of another 12-year contract and spending cuts by the largest operator in this market have caused us to lower our 2011 expectations considerably. Over time, we expect strong crude prices will result in a return to more robust spending and Nabors should be the largest beneficiary given the quality of our operations and rigs and our patented coiled technology.</p> <p/> <p>"Our Other Operating Segments posted an excellent quarter, primarily on the strength of strong results in Canrig which were driven by strong third-party equipment sales and increasing income from our Rockit(TM) directional drilling technology. Results in our Alaskan joint ventures also contributed significantly. We expect results to be sustainable given Canrig's third-party backlog, the continuing success of the Rockit(TM) technology and the rollout of additional directional drilling technologies.</p> <p/> <p>"Our Oil and Gas operations posted income of <span class="xn-money">$1.0 million</span> with the reclassification of our Colombian and Canadian entities as discontinued operations. The proposed sale of these two units is moving ahead expeditiously, with discussions underway with numerous interested parties regarding both regions. Two investment banks are marketing our Colombian properties, with one of them also representing us in <span class="xn-location">Canada</span>. Our expectations of realized value remain intact.</p> <p/> <p>"The most notable development of the quarter was the acquisition of Superior Well Services in an all-cash transaction with an enterprise value of approximately <span class="xn-money">$900 million</span>. We were able to close and finance the transaction within five weeks of the announcement of a definitive agreement. Our consolidated results reflect only <span class="xn-money">$12.0 million</span> in operating income from the 20 days this unit was part of Nabors. In the short time we have owned Superior, the quality of their equipment and technology and the capability of their field personnel and management teams have exceeded our expectations. We have already realized significant economies in procurement, consolidated certain facilities, and integrated Superior's fluids management business into Nabors Well Services. We still see further synergies and significant investment opportunities facilitated by Nabors' ability to fund this previously capital-constrained business.</p> <p/> <p>"Our financial position is strong with <span class="xn-money">$810 million</span> in cash and investments at the end of the quarter. This ending balance reflects the all-cash acquisition of Superior and the attendant issuance of <span class="xn-money">$700 million</span> in senior unsecured notes, due 2020, at an annual yield of 5%. In mid-September we also established a <span class="xn-money">$700 million</span>, four-year, committed revolving credit facility which allows us to borrow at LIBOR plus 1.50%. The availability of this credit facility, our expectation of significant free cash flow in subsequent quarters and the anticipated proceeds from the sale of certain E&P properties, leads us to conclude we can comfortably redeem the <span class="xn-money">$1.4 billion</span> in convertible notes due next May and fund anticipated capital expenditures. This should negate the need for issuance of equity in any form or additional borrowings, other than temporary draws on our revolver.</p> <p/> <p>"In summary, we are quite optimistic regarding the direction of our business, notwithstanding a persistently low natural gas strip and the tempered outlook for our International segment."</p> <p/> <p>The Nabors companies own and operate approximately 554 land drilling and approximately 728 land workover and well-servicing rigs in <span class="xn-location">North America</span>. Nabors' actively marketed offshore fleet consists of 38 platform rigs, 13 jackup units and 3 barge rigs in the <span class="xn-location">United States</span> and multiple international markets.

These amounts should not be used as a substitute to those amounts reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). However, management evaluates the performance of our business units and the consolidated company based on several criteria, including adjusted income (loss) derived from operating activities, because it believes that these financial measures are an accurate reflection of the ongoing profitability of our Company. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, which is a GAAP measure, is provided within the table set forth immediately following the heading "Segment Reporting". </pre> <p> </p> <pre> NABORS INDUSTRIES LTD.

The net funded debt to capital ratio is calculated by dividing * net funded debt by (y) net funded debt plus deferred tax liabilities (net of deferred tax assets) plus capital. Net funded debt is funded debt minus the sum of cash and cash equivalents and short-term and long-term investments and other receivables.

Between 2008 and September 30, 2010, we purchased approximately $1.3 billion par value of these notes in the open market, leaving approximately $1.4 billion par value outstanding. The number of shares that we would be required to issue upon exchange consists of only the incremental shares that would be issued above the principal amount of the notes, as we are required to pay cash up to the principal amount of the notes exchanged. We would issue an incremental number of shares only upon exchange of these notes. These shares are included in the calculation of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in our diluted earnings per share calculation only when our stock price exceeds $45.83 as of the last trading day of the quarter and the average price of our shares for the ten consecutive trading days beginning on the third business day after the last trading day of the quarter exceeds $45.83, which did not occur during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 or the three months ended June 30, 2010. </pre> <p> </p> <pre> (2) On July 31, 2009, the exchangeable shares of Nabors (Canada) Exchangeco Inc. ("Nabors Exchangeco") were exchanged for Nabors common shares on a one-for-one basis. Basic shares outstanding included (1) the weighted-average number of common shares and restricted stock of Nabors and (2) the weighted-average number of exchangeable shares of Nabors Exchangeco: 285.3 million shares cumulatively for the three months ended September 30, 2010; 285.0 million shares, cumulatively, for the three months ended September 30, 2009; 285.2 million shares cumulatively for the three months ended June 30, 2010; 285.0 million shares cumulatively for the nine months ended September 30, 2010; and 283.1 million and .1 million shares, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. </pre> <p> </p> <pre> For all periods presented, the computation of diluted earnings (losses) per share excluded outstanding stock options and warrants with exercise prices greater than the average market price of Nabors' common shares, because their inclusion would have been anti- dilutive and because they were not considered participating securities. The average number of options and warrants that were excluded from diluted earnings (losses) per share that would have potentially diluted earnings (losses) per share in the future were 32,543,395 and 16,595,790 shares during the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively; and 14,894,841 shares during the three months ended June 30, 2010; and 14,108,644 and 34,085,988 shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In any period during which the average market price of Nabors' common shares exceeds the exercise prices of these stock options and warrants, such stock options and warrants are included in our diluted earnings (losses) per share computation using the if-converted method of accounting. Restricted stock is included in our basic and diluted earnings (losses) per share computation using the two-class method of accounting in all periods because it is considered a participating security. </pre> <p> </p> <p> </p> <pre> NABORS INDUSTRIES LTD.

These measures are presented to provide management and investors an opportunity to make meaningful assessments and comparisons of results from operations, exclusive of certain charges detailed below. The presentation of Non-GAAP information is not intended to suggest that such information is superior to the presentation of GAAP information, but only to clarify some information and assist the reader. </pre> <p> </p> <pre> (2) Adjusted income (loss) derived from operating activities is computed by: subtracting direct costs, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, and depletion expense from Operating revenues and then adding Earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates.

These measures are presented to provide management and investors an opportunity to make meaningful assessments and comparisons of results from operations, exclusive of certain charges detailed below. The presentation of Non-GAAP information is not intended to suggest that such information is superior to the presentation of GAAP information, but only to clarify some information and assist the reader. </pre> <p> </p> <pre> (2) Adjusted income (loss) derived from operating activities is computed by: subtracting direct costs, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, and depletion expense from Operating revenues and then adding Earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates.

However, management evaluates the performance of our business units and the consolidated company based on several criteria, including adjusted income derived from operating activities, because it believes that this financial measure is an accurate reflection of the ongoing profitability of our Company. </pre> <p> </p> <pre> NABORS INDUSTRIES LTD.
