HAMILTON, Bermuda, April 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Nabors Industries Ltd. ("Nabors") (NYSE: NBR) today reported first quarter 2016 operating revenues of $597.6 million, compared to operating revenues of $738.9 million in the fourth quarter of last year.  Net income (loss) from continuing operations for the quarter was a loss of $396.6 million, or ($1.41) per diluted share, compared to a loss of $161.1 million, or ($0.57) per diluted share, last quarter.   The net loss from continuing operations for the first quarter included a per share loss of $1.12 per share due to impairments to the carrying value of the Company's investment in C&J Energy Services, Ltd. ("C&J") (NYSE: CJES) and from our proportionate share of C&J losses from the prior quarter, as such losses are accounted for on a quarter lag basis.

Anthony Petrello, Nabors' Chairman, President, and CEO, commented, "Our first quarter results reflect the continued strain from low commodity prices.  In particular, the first quarter's drop in oil prices below $30 led to sharp reductions in customer spending plans on a worldwide basis and had a corresponding adverse impact on our results.  In the U.S., our customers' swift reaction to commodity price drops resulted in a roughly equal impact on both rig years and margins.  Internationally, a reduction of seven rig years combined with other unfavorable factors resulted in lower operating cash flows for the quarter.  Additionally, the Canada market's typical seasonal uptick in the first quarter failed to materialize this year due to market conditions.  Despite these reductions in cash flows, we still modestly reduced net debt during the quarter while continuing to fund the innovative technological initiatives that will best position Nabors for the eventual upturn."

Segment Results

Quarterly adjusted operating income ("adjusted income") in Drilling and Rig Services decreased to a loss of $18.6 million from a profit of $29.9 million in the fourth quarter of last year.  Quarterly adjusted EBITDA in this business line decreased sequentially to $200.2 million, a 23% decline of which the majority was attributable to the U.S. drilling segment.  For the quarter, the Company averaged 187.9 rigs operating at an average gross margin of $13,407 per rig day, compared to 222.9 rigs at $14,229 per rig day in the fourth quarter of last year.  The Company expects additional declines in near-term volume and pricing as the weak commodity price environment persists and customer spending continues to adjust to their reduced budget levels.  

International adjusted income decreased by 10% sequentially to $46.9 million, primarily due to a reduction of seven rig years, additional pricing concessions, and unfavorable cost impacts and rig moving activity.  Quarterly adjusted EBITDA in this segment decreased by 8% sequentially to $148.3 million.  Compared to the first quarter, the Company expects moderately decreasing quarterly income in the near term as activity declines.  In Canada, where the first quarter is traditionally the strongest, rig years declined 13% from the fourth quarter with future results expected to remain challenged.

The U.S. Drilling segment posted an adjusted operating loss of $47.6 million during the quarter, reflecting further activity declines and margin erosion as term contracts expire. The Lower 48 saw 30% fewer rigs working compared to the fourth quarter of last year, for an average rig count of 54.  At current commodity prices, the Company anticipates the rig count to stabilize mid-year but expects further deterioration in average margins in the near-term. Should market fundamentals push oil prices comfortably into the $50's, rig activity could improve.      

Rig Services, which consists of the Company's manufacturing, directional drilling, and complementary services, reported an adjusted loss of $10.6 million, a $2.9 million improvement from the fourth quarter due to cost savings.  While market fundamentals continue to provide minimal upside for new equipment and services at this time, Nabors remains encouraged about the future potential of this segment with its focus on technology and automation. 

William Restrepo, Nabors' Chief Financial Officer, stated, "We continue to focus on maintaining our liquidity and enhancing operational performance during these challenged times.  Though the quarter's results declined materially from the previous quarter, we were able to slightly reduce net debt through a combination of continued execution of stringent cost control and disciplined capital spending.  During the quarter, we repurchased $154.1 million of Nabors senior unsecured notes at a modest discount for an estimated net annual interest expense savings of $7 million.  As a result of the continued deterioration of industry conditions, we made the decision to impair our carrying value in C&J to better reflect the market value of our equity position.

"Despite a recent upturn in the price of oil, at its current level, we anticipate further near-term reductions in rig count both internationally and in the U.S.  We also expect margins to deteriorate, particularly in the Lower 48 market.  Though low oil prices have had increasing spill-over effects on our international business, Nabors remains uniquely well positioned to weather the storm given our ongoing cash flow from international operations and strong liquidity." 

Mr. Petrello concluded, "We continue to execute on our cost reduction initiatives and to move forward with our vision of the rig serving as the central platform for all drilling services and future innovation.  We expect our technological advances to give Nabors a sustainable competitive advantage by drilling wells with greater efficiency, safety, and accuracy in every one of our markets."

Forward-looking Statements

The information above 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 certain 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 EBITDA is computed by subtracting the sum of direct costs, general and administrative expenses and research and engineering expenses from operating revenues.  Adjusted operating income (loss) is computed similarly, but also subtracts depreciation and amortization expenses from operating revenues. A reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, which is its nearest comparable GAAP financial measure, are included elsewhere in this press release.

Represents our share of the net income (loss), as adjusted for our basis difference, of our unconsolidated affiliates accounted for by the equity method, inclusive of $(167.1) million and $(81.3) million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, related to our share of the net loss of C&J, which we report on a quarter lag.



(7)

Excludes well-servicing rigs, which are measured in rig hours.  Includes our equivalent percentage ownership of rigs owned by unconsolidated affiliates.  Rig years represent a measure of the number of equivalent rigs operating during a given period.  For example, one rig operating 182.5 days during a 365-day period represents 0.5 rig years.



(8)

International rig years includes our equivalent percentage ownership of rigs owned by unconsolidated affiliates, which totaled 2.5 years during the three months ended March 31, 2015.  As of May 24, 2015, this was no longer an unconsolidated affiliate.



(9)

Rig hours represents the number of hours that our well-servicing rig fleet operated during the period.  This fleet was included in the Completion & Production Services business that was merged with C&J Energy Services, Inc. in March 2015 and we will therefore no longer report this performance metric.
