Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Financial Information

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Nabors are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period to conform to the current-period presentation, with no effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. Therefore, these financial statements should be read along with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (“2011 Annual Report”). In management’s opinion, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2012, the results of our operations and other comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and cash flows and changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, in accordance with GAAP. Interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 may not be indicative of results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2012.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has reviewed and issued a report on these consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Pursuant to Rule 436(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) this report should not be considered a part of any registration statement prepared or certified within the meanings of Sections 7 and 11 of such Act.

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nabors, as well as all majority-owned and nonmajority-owned subsidiaries required to be consolidated under GAAP. Our consolidated financial statements exclude majority-owned entities for which we do not have either (1) the ability to control the operating and financial decisions and policies of that entity or (2) a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Investments in operating entities where we have the ability to exert significant influence, but where we do not control operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. Our share of the net income (loss) of these entities is recorded as earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statements of income (loss), and our investment in these entities is included in both investment in unconsolidated affiliates and assets held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets. The portion of such investments included in investments in unconsolidated affiliates totaled $165.0 million and $371.0 million as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the portion of such investments included in assets held for sale totaled $13.7 million. See Note 4 – Discontinued Operations for additional information.

We have investments in offshore funds, which are classified as long-term investments and are accounted for using the equity method of accounting based on our ownership interest in each fund.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method and includes the cost of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. Inventory included the following:

Goodwill

We determined it was necessary to perform our annual goodwill impairment test, a level 3 fair value measurement, during the second quarter of 2012. The impairment test compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, a second step is required to measure the goodwill impairment loss. This second step compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess. Our goodwill impairment test results required the second step measurement for two reporting units.

The fair values calculated in these impairment tests were determined using discounted cash flow models involving assumptions based on our utilization of rigs or other oil and gas service equipment, revenues and earnings from affiliates, as well as direct costs, general and administrative costs, depreciation, applicable income taxes, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Our discounted cash flow projections for each reporting unit were based on financial forecasts. The future cash flows were discounted to present value using discount rates determined to be appropriate for each reporting unit. Terminal values for each reporting unit were calculated using a Gordon Growth methodology with a long-term growth rate of 3%.

Our estimated fair values of our reporting units incorporate judgment and the use of estimates by management. Potential factors requiring assessment include a further or sustained decline in our stock price, declines in natural gas and oil prices, a variance in results of operations from forecasts, and additional transactions in the oil and gas industry. Another factor in determining whether impairment has occurred is the relationship between our market capitalization and our book value. As part of our annual review, we compared the sum of our reporting units’ estimated fair value, which included the estimated fair value of non-operating assets and liabilities, less debt, to our market capitalization and assessed the reasonableness of our estimated fair value. Any of the above-mentioned factors may cause us to re-evaluate goodwill during any quarter throughout the year.

The carrying amounts and change of goodwill for our operating segments as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were as follows:

Represents the impairment of goodwill associated with our U.S. Offshore and International reporting units. As of June 30, 2012, these reporting units had no recorded goodwill. The impairments were deemed necessary due to the prolonged uncertainty of utilization of some of our rigs as a result of changes in our

  customers’ plans for future drilling operations in the Gulf of Mexico as well as our international markets. A significantly prolonged period of lower natural gas prices or changes in laws and regulations could continue to adversely affect the demand for and prices of our services, which could result in future goodwill impairment charges for other reporting units due to the potential impact on our estimate of our future operating results.
(2) Represents the removal of goodwill in connection with our sale of Peak USA to an unrelated third party for $13.5 million cash during the second quarter of 2012. Peak USA, a subsidiary included in our Other Rig Services reporting unit, provided trucking and logistics services to the oilfield service market in the U.S. Lower 48 states.

(1) Represents $75.0 million related to the impairment of the Superior trade name. The Superior trade name was initially classified as a ten-year intangible asset at the date of acquisition in September 2010. The impairment is a result of the decision to cease using the Superior trade name to reduce confusion in the marketplace and enhance the Nabors brand.
(2) During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded a provision for retirement of long-lived assets totaling $46.2 million in multiple operating segments, which reduced the carrying value of some assets to their salvage value. The retirements in our Canada operations included functionally inoperable rigs and other drilling equipment. Our U.S. Well-servicing operations related to retirements of rigs and vehicles that would require significant repair to return to work. We recorded retirements of some non-core assets as we have begun the process to streamline our operations and consolidate our Pressure Pumping and U.S. Well-servicing segments into one business line, Nabors Completion and Production Services. As a result, we decided to retire these assets. As we continue to streamline our lines of business, there could be future retirement or impairment charges, which could have a potential impact on our future operating results. In addition, a prolonged period of lower natural gas and oil prices and its potential impact on our utilization and dayrates could result in the recognition of future impairment charges to additional assets if future cash flow estimates, based upon information then available to management, indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable.

(1) Represents our aircraft logistics operations in Canada included in our Other Rig Services operating segment.

In April 2012, we sold our remaining wholly owned oil and gas business in Colombia to an unrelated third party for a cash purchase price of $72.6 million, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $48.5 million. These assets were included in our assets held for sale as part of our Oil and Gas operating segment.

In May 2012, we sold some of our U.S. wholly owned oil and gas business in the Fayetteville Shale, Floyd Shale, and Barnett Shale areas to unrelated third parties for cumulative cash receipts of $5.7 million, which did not result in any gain or loss. These assets were included in our assets held for sale as part of our Oil and Gas operating segment. Based on current market conditions and our assessment of the sales price, we adjusted the carrying value of our U.S. wholly owned oil and gas business by $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2012 to reflect their estimated sales price or current fair value.

Our contracts with pipeline companies include pipeline transmission commitments in the Horn River Basin. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we evaluated current production levels, natural gas prices and the anticipated sales cycle related to the sale of properties corresponding to these commitments. As a result, we recorded liabilities for excess pipeline capacity. Our consolidated balance sheets included current liabilities related to discontinued operations of $63.9 million and $54.3 million that were included in accrued liabilities and noncurrent liabilities related to discontinued operations of $35.3 million and $71.4 million that were included in other long-term liabilities at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. These amounts represent our best estimate of the excess capacity of the pipeline, based upon the estimated sales date of the properties, as compared to the contractual commitments. Our commitments beyond December 31, 2013 could approximate $265.4 million if the related properties are not sold or developed. Decreases in actual production, natural gas prices or a change in the estimated sales date could result in future charges related to excess capacity of the pipeline that may materially impact our results of operations.

Based on current market conditions and our assessment of the sales price, we adjusted the carrying value of our aircraft logistics assets by $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2012 to reflect their estimated sales price or current fair value.

(1) Our unrealized loss on corporate debt securities relates to our investment in NFR Energy LLC’s 9.75% senior notes. This investment is in addition to our equity interest in NFR Energy LLC. The senior notes mature in 2017 and interest is paid semi-annually on February 15 and August 15. We do not intend to sell this investment, and it is less likely than not that we will be required to sell it to satisfy our own cash flow and working capital requirements. We believe that we will continue to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the investment and, therefore, do not consider the decline in value of the investment to be other-than-temporary at June 30, 2012. See Note 8 Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates for additional discussion of our equity investment.
(2) Our unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities held for more than one year are comprised of various types of securities. Each of these securities has a rating ranging from “A” to “AAA” from Standard & Poor’s and ranging from “A2” to “Aaa” from Moody’s Investors Service and is considered of high credit quality. In each case, we do not intend to sell these investments, and it is less likely than not that we will be required to sell them to satisfy our own cash flow and working capital requirements. We believe that we will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of each investment and, therefore, do not consider the decline in value of these investments to be other-than-temporary at June 30, 2012.

The estimated fair values of our corporate, mortgage-backed, mortgage-CMO and asset-backed debt securities at June 30, 2012, classified by time to contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to repay obligations without prepayment penalties and we may elect to sell the securities prior to the contractual maturity date.

Note 6 Fair Value Measurements

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2012. Our debt securities could transfer into or out of a Level 1 or 2 measure depending on the availability of independent and current pricing at the end of each quarter. During the three months ended June 30, 2012, there were no transfers of our financial assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 measures. Our financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements were applied with respect to our nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis, which would primarily consist of goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, and asset retirement obligations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of our financial instruments has been estimated in accordance with GAAP. We measure the estimated fair value of our long-term debt, subsidiary preferred stock and revolving credit facilities using significant other observable inputs, which represent Level 2 fair value measurements, including quoted market prices or prices quoted from third-party financial institutions as well as the terms and credit spreads for such instruments.

Note 7 Share-Based Compensation

We have several share-based employee compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 8 Share-Based Compensation in our 2011 Annual Report. Total share-based compensation expense, which includes both stock options and restricted stock, totaled $4.3 million and $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $8.8 million and $8.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Total share-based compensation is included in direct costs and general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income (loss). Share-based compensation expense has been allocated to our various operating segments. See Note 15 – Segment Information.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we awarded 923,131 and 1,029,157 shares of restricted stock, respectively, vesting over periods up to four years, to our employees and directors. These awards had an aggregate value at their grant date of $19.2 million and $28.8 million, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $9.3 million and $15.9 million, respectively.

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $5.1 million and $15.1 million, respectively. Additionally, the intrinsic value of stock options surrendered during the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $17.9 million. The total fair value of stock options that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $7.6 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

Note 8 Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

We have several unconsolidated affiliates that are integral to our operations. For a full description, refer to Note 10 – Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates in our 2011 Annual Report.

At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our consolidated balance sheets reflect our investments in unconsolidated affiliates accounted for using the equity method totaling $165.0 million and $371.0 million, respectively. In addition, assets held for sale include investments in unconsolidated affiliates accounted for using the equity method totaling $13.7 million at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The writedowns are included in our Oil and Gas operating segment. If the average of the historical unweighted first-day-of-the-month natural gas prices for the prior 12-month periods remain at current levels or decline further through the end of the third and fourth quarters of 2012 due to price declines, there could be further reductions in our joint venture’s asset carrying value for oil and gas properties.

5.375% Senior Notes Due August 2012

At June 30, 2012, the current portion of our long-term debt included Nabors Delaware’s 5.375% senior notes of $274.9 million. We intend to utilize cash on hand and capacity under our revolving credit facilities to meet this obligation.

Revolving Credit Facilities

At June 30, 2012, we had $490 million of remaining availability from a combined total of $1.4 billion under our existing revolving credit facilities. The existing revolving credit facilities mature in September 2014, and can be used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and working capital. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings at June 30, 2012 was 1.75%. We fully and unconditionally guarantee the obligations under all of these credit facilities.

The revolving credit facilities contain various covenants and restrictive provisions that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments or loans and create liens and require us to maintain a net funded indebtedness to total capitalization ratio, as defined in each agreement. We were in compliance with all covenants under the agreements at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011. If we should fail to perform our obligations under the covenants, the revolving credit commitments could be terminated and any outstanding borrowings under the relevant facility could be declared immediately due and payable.

Note 10 Common Shares

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, our employees exercised vested options and surrendered unexercised vested stock options to acquire 1.0 million of our common shares. We received proceeds of $15.9 million from exercised vested options and used approximately $21.0 million, the value of the unexercised vested options that were surrendered, to satisfy some of the option exercise price and related tax withholding obligations pursuant to stock option share settlements and exercises by some of the employees. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, our employees exercised vested options to acquire 1.0 million of our common shares, resulting in proceeds of $11.6 million. For each of the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we withheld .1 million of our common shares with a fair value of $2.1 million and $2.5 million, respectively, to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of all stock awards.

At December 31, 2011, accrued liabilities included a provision of $100 million for a contingent liability related to the change of our Chief Executive Officer that occurred in October 2011. In February 2012, our former

Table of Contents

Chief Executive Officer elected to forego triggering that payment. In connection with that development, we announced plans to make charitable contributions to benefit the needs of our employees and other community-based causes. During the first quarter of 2012, we contributed one million of our treasury shares to the Nabors Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, in support of this objective. We consider the former Chief Executive Officer to be a significant shareholder of the Company and, therefore, have recorded these transactions as equity. We recorded the release of the contingent liability, net of tax, through capital in excess of par as a forgiveness of liability from a beneficial owner. We recorded the donation of the treasury shares at their weighted-average cost, net of tax, through capital in excess of par.

Shareholder Rights Plan

On July 16, 2012, the Board of Directors declared the issuance of one preferred share purchase right (a “Right”) for each Common Share issued and outstanding on July 27, 2012 (the “Record Date”) to the shareholders of record on that date. Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a Series A Junior Participating Preferred Share, par value US$0.001 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), of the Company, at a price of $70.00 per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment.

Until the earlier to occur of (i) 10 days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an “Acquiring Person”) has acquired beneficial ownership (including derivative positions) of 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (or, in the event an exchange is effected in accordance with Section 24 of the Rights Agreement and the Board of Directors determines that a later date is advisable, then such later date that is not more than 20 days after such public announcement) or (ii) 10 business days (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Board of Directors prior to such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person) following the commencement of, or announcement of an intention to make, a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in the beneficial ownership by a person or group of 10% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (the earlier of such dates being called the “Distribution Date”), the Rights will be evidenced, with respect to any of the Common Share certificates issued and outstanding as of the Record Date, by such Common Share certificate with a copy of the Summary of Rights attached as Exhibit C to the Rights Agreement.

The Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date. The Rights will expire on July 16, 2013 (the “Final Expiration Date”), unless the Final Expiration Date is extended or unless the Rights are earlier redeemed by the Company, in each case.

Note 11 Subsidiary Preferred Stock

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, dividends of $.75 million on outstanding shares of preferred stock had been declared and paid in full.

Note 12 Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

Employment Contracts

The employment agreement for Mr. Petrello currently provides for a term through March 30, 2015, with automatic one-year extensions each April 1, unless either party gives notice of nonrenewal. In the event of Mr. Petrello’s termination without cause or constructive termination without cause, he would be entitled to receive three times the average of his base salary and annual bonus during the three fiscal years preceding the termination. If, by way of example, Mr. Petrello were terminated without cause subsequent to June 30, 2012, his payment would be approximately $31.1 million. The formula will be further reduced to two times the average stated above in April 1, 2015. In the event of his death or disability, either he or his estate would be entitled to receive within 30 days thereafter a payment of $50 million.

Table of Contents

We do not have insurance to cover, and we have not recorded an expense or accrued a liability relating to, this potential obligation. See Note 18 Commitments and Contingencies to our 2011 Annual Report for additional discussion and description of Mr. Petrello’s employment agreement.

Contingencies

Income Tax Contingencies

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous other jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We are regularly audited by tax authorities. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different than what is reflected in income tax provisions and accruals. An audit or litigation could materially affect our financial position, income tax provision, net income, or cash flows in the period or periods challenged.

It is possible that future changes to tax laws (including tax treaties) could impact our ability to realize the tax savings recorded to date as well as future tax savings, resulting from our 2002 corporate reorganization. See Note 13 – Income Taxes to our 2011 Annual Report for additional discussion.

On September 14, 2006, Nabors Drilling International Limited, one of our wholly owned Bermuda subsidiaries (“NDIL”), received a Notice of Assessment from Mexico’s federal tax authorities in connection with the audit of NDIL’s Mexico branch for 2003. The notice proposes to deny depreciation expense deductions relating to drilling rigs operating in Mexico in 2003. The notice also proposes to deny a deduction for payments made to an affiliated company for the procurement of labor services in Mexico. The amount assessed was approximately $19.8 million (including interest and penalties). Nabors and its tax advisors previously concluded that the deductions were appropriate. NDIL’s Mexico branch took similar deductions for depreciation and labor expenses from 2004 to 2008. On June 30, 2009, the government proposed similar assessments against the Mexico branch of another wholly owned Bermuda subsidiary, Nabors Drilling International II Ltd. (“NDIL II”) for 2006. We anticipate that a similar assessment will eventually be proposed against NDIL for 2005 through 2008 and against NDIL II for 2007 to 2010. We believe that the potential assessments will range from $6 million to $26 million per year for the period from 2005 to 2009, and in the aggregate, would be approximately $90 million to $95 million. Although Nabors and our tax advisors previously concluded that the deductions were appropriate for the 2003 and 2005 to 2010 years, a reserve has been recorded in accordance with GAAP. The statute of limitations for NDIL’s 2004 tax year expired. Accordingly, during the fourth quarter of 2010, we released $7.4 million from our tax reserves, which represented the reserve recorded for that tax year. If these additional assessments were made and we ultimately did not prevail, we would be required to recognize additional tax for the amount in excess of the current reserve.

Self-Insurance

We estimate the level of our liability related to insurance and record reserves for these amounts in our consolidated financial statements. Our estimates are based on the facts and circumstances specific to existing claims and our past experience with similar claims. These loss estimates and accruals recorded in our financial statements for claims have historically been reasonable in light of the actual amount of claims paid. Although we believe our insurance coverage and reserve estimates are reasonable, a significant accident or other event that is not fully covered by insurance or contractual indemnity could occur and could materially affect our financial position and results of operations for a particular period.

Effective April 1, 2012, our workers’ compensation claims are subject to a $2.0 million per-occurrence deductible, and our automobile claims are subject to a $1.0 million per-occurrence deductible.

Litigation

Nabors and its subsidiaries are defendants or otherwise involved in a number of lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. We estimate the range of our liability related to pending litigation when we believe the amount and range of loss can be estimated. We record our best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable. When a liability is probable and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate in the range, we record the minimum estimated

Table of Contents

liability related to the lawsuits or claims. As additional information becomes available, we assess the potential liability related to our pending litigation and claims and revise our estimates. Due to uncertainties related to the resolution of lawsuits and claims, the ultimate outcome may differ from our estimates. For matters where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and significant, we disclose the nature of the matter and a range of potential exposure, unless an estimate cannot be made at the time of disclosure. In the opinion of management and based on liability accruals provided, our ultimate exposure with respect to these pending lawsuits and claims is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or cash flows, although they could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for a particular reporting period.

On July 5, 2007, we received an inquiry from the U.S. Department of Justice relating to its investigation of one of our vendors and compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. The inquiry relates to transactions with and involving Panalpina, which provided freight forwarding and customs clearance services to some of our affiliates. The inquiry focused on transactions in Kazakhstan, Saudi Arabia, Algeria and Nigeria. The Audit Committee of our Board of Directors engaged outside counsel to review some of our transactions with this vendor, received periodic updates at its regularly scheduled meetings, and the Chairman of the Audit Committee received updates between meetings as circumstances warranted. The investigation included a review of certain amounts paid to and by Panalpina in connection with obtaining permits for the temporary importation of equipment and clearance of goods and materials through customs. Both the SEC and the Department of Justice have been advised of the results of our investigation. The SEC has advised us that it concluded its review of this matter and does not intend to recommend any enforcement action against us. Although the Department of Justice has not concluded its inquiry, we do not anticipate that its final determination will have an adverse effect on the Company.

In 2009, the Court of Ouargla (in Algeria) entered a judgment of approximately $19.7 million against us related to alleged customs infractions in 2009. We believe we did not receive proper notice of the judicial proceedings, and that the amount of the judgment was excessive in any case. We asserted the lack of legally required notice as a basis for challenging the judgment on appeal to the Algeria Supreme Court. On May 31, 2012, that court reversed the lower court and remanded the case to the Ouargla Court of Appeals for treatment consistent with the Supreme Court’s ruling. Based upon our understanding of applicable law and precedent, we continue to believe that we will prevail. We do not believe that a loss is probable and have not accrued any amounts related to this matter. If we are ultimately required to pay a fine or judgment related to this matter, the amount of the loss could range from approximately $140,000 to $19.7 million.

In March 2011, the Court of Ouargla entered a judgment of approximately $39.1 million against us relating to alleged violations of Algeria’s foreign currency exchange controls, which require that goods and services provided locally be invoiced and paid in local currency. The case relates to certain foreign currency payments made to us by CEPSA, a Spanish operator, for wells drilled in 2006. Approximately $7.5 million of the total contract amount was paid offshore in foreign currency, and approximately $3.2 million was paid in local currency. The judgment includes fines and penalties of approximately four times the amount at issue, and is not payable pending appeal. We have appealed the ruling based on our understanding that the law in question applies only to resident entities incorporated under Algerian law. An intermediate court of appeals has upheld the lower court’s ruling, and we have appealed the matter to the Algeria Supreme Court. While our payments were consistent with our historical operations in the country and, we believe, those of other multinational corporations there, and interpretations of the law by the Central Bank of Algeria, the ultimate resolution of this matter could result in a loss of up to $31.1 million in excess of amounts accrued.

On September 21, 2011, we received an informal inquiry from the SEC related to perquisites and personal benefits received by the officers and directors of Nabors, including their use of non-commercial aircraft. Our Audit Committee and Board of Directors have been apprised of this inquiry and we are cooperating with the SEC. The ultimate outcome of this process cannot be determined at this time.

Nabors Industries Ltd. and its Board of Directors were sued in three separate purported shareholder derivative lawsuits filed in federal and state court in Houston, Texas. The cases were filed on November 18, 2011, January 9, 2012, and November 30, 2011, respectively, before Judges Ewing Werlein and Gray Miller in the United States

Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, and Judge Mike Miller of the 11th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas. As previously disclosed, the case pending before Judge Gray Miller was voluntarily dismissed on January 31, 2012. On July 30, 2012, Judge Werlein entered a final judgment, dismissing the case pending in United States Southern District of Texas finding that plaintiffs lacked standing to sue and failed to state a claim for which relief could be granted. Judge Werlein also denied the plaintiffs’ request for leave to replead their claim. The other case in the 11th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas remains pending. The allegations of each lawsuit were substantially similar, alleging that the members of the Board breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, wasted corporate assets, and committed oppressive conduct against the shareholders by agreeing to acquiesce to certain compensation arrangements with two senior officers of the Company, Eugene M. Isenberg and Anthony G. Petrello. The remaining lawsuit seeks relief that includes an award of monetary damages in an unspecified amount, disgorgement by Messrs. Isenberg and Petrello of allegedly excessive compensation in an unspecified amount of at least $90 million, and equitable relief to reform Nabors’ compensations practices. Nabors intends to vigorously defend the remaining lawsuit. The ultimate outcome of these lawsuits cannot be determined at this time.

On March 9, 2012, Nabors Global Holdings II Limited (“NGH2L”) signed a contract with ERG Resources, LLC (“ERG”) relating to the sale of all of the Class A shares of NGH2L’s wholly owned subsidiary, Ramshorn International Limited, an oil and gas exploration company. When ERG failed to meet its closing obligations, NGH2L terminated the transaction on March 19, 2012 and, as contemplated in the agreement, retained ERG’s $3 million escrow deposit. ERG filed suit the following day in the 61st Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas, in a case styled ERG Resources, LLC v. Nabors Global Holdings II Limited, Ramshorn International Limited, and Parex Resources, Inc.; Cause No. 2012-16446, seeking injunctive relief to halt any sale of the shares to a third party, specifically naming as defendant Parex Resources, Inc. (“Parex”). The lawsuit also seeks monetary damages of up to $100 million based on an alleged breach of contract by NGH2L and tortious interference with contractual relations by Parex. Nabors successfully defeated ERG’s effort to obtain a temporary restraining order from the Texas court on March 20, 2012. On March 23, 2012, ERG filed and obtained an ex parte stay from the Supreme Court of Bermuda (Commercial Court), in a case styled as ERG Resources LLC v. Nabors Global Holdings II Limited, Case No. 2012: No. 110. Nabors challenged the stay and, following a series of oral hearings on the matter, the Bermuda court discharged the stay by a ruling dated April 5, 2012. Nabors completed the sale of Ramshorn’s Class A shares to a Parex affiliate on April 12, 2012, which mooted ERG’s application for a temporary injunction that was scheduled for hearing by the Texas court on April 13, 2012. ERG retains its causes of action for monetary damages, but Nabors believes the claims are foreclosed by the terms of the agreement and are without factual or legal merit. While Nabors intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit, the ultimate outcome of the lawsuit cannot be determined at this time.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements (Including Guarantees)

We are a party to some transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements defined as “off-balance sheet arrangements” that could have a material future effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. The most significant of these off-balance sheet arrangements involve agreements and obligations under which we provide financial or performance assurance to third parties. Certain of these agreements serve as guarantees, including standby letters of credit issued on behalf of insurance carriers in conjunction with our workers’ compensation insurance program and other financial surety instruments such as bonds. In addition, we have provided indemnifications, which serve as guarantees, to some third parties. These guarantees include indemnification provided by Nabors to our share transfer agent and our insurance carriers. We are not able to estimate the potential future maximum payments that might be due under our indemnification guarantees.

Management believes the likelihood that we would be required to perform or otherwise incur any material losses associated with any of these guarantees is remote. The following table summarizes the total maximum amount of financial guarantees issued by Nabors:

(1) At maturity in May 2011, we redeemed the remaining aggregate principal amount of $1.4 billion of our 0.94% senior exchangeable notes. Prior to maturity, we had purchased $1.4 billion par value of these notes in the open market for cash of $1.2 billion.

For all periods presented, the computation of diluted earnings (losses) per Nabors’ share excludes outstanding stock options and warrants with exercise prices greater than the average market price of Nabors’ common shares because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive and because they are not considered participating securities. The average number of options and warrants that were excluded from diluted earnings (losses) per share that would potentially dilute earnings per share in the future was 17,635,173 and 5,494,895 shares during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and 13,395,935 and 6,381,967 shares during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, 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 will be included in our diluted earnings (losses) per share computation using the if-converted method of accounting. Restricted stock will be included in our basic and diluted earnings (losses) per share computation using the two-class method of accounting in all periods because such stock is considered a participating security.

(1) All periods present the operating activities of our wholly owned oil and gas business in the United States, Canada and Colombia, including equity interests in joint ventures in Canada and Colombia, as well as our aircraft logistics operations in Canada as discontinued operations.
(2) Includes our drilling technology and top drive manufacturing, directional drilling, rig instrumentation and software, and construction services. These services represent our other companies that are not aggregated into a reportable operating segment.
(3) Includes earnings (losses), net from unconsolidated affiliates, accounted for using the equity method, of $6.1 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.
(4) Includes earnings (losses), net from unconsolidated affiliates, accounted for using the equity method, of $(140.4) million and $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $(203.0) million and $21.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
(5) Represents the elimination of inter-segment transactions.
(6) Adjusted income (loss) derived from operating activities is computed by subtracting direct costs, general and administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization from Operating revenues and then adding Earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates (excluding our proportionate share of full-cost ceiling test writedowns recorded by our oil and gas joint venture). These amounts should not be used as a substitute for those amounts reported in accordance with 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 accurately reflect our ongoing profitability. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, which is a GAAP measure, is provided in the above table.
(7) Includes earnings (losses), net from unconsolidated affiliates, accounted for using the equity method, of $5.1 million (excluding $145.5 million, which represents our proportionate share of full-cost ceiling test writedowns by our oil and gas joint venture) and $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $10.7 million (excluding $213.7 million, which represents our proportionate share of full-cost ceiling test writedowns by our oil and gas joint venture) and $21.4 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
(8) Represents the elimination of inter-segment transactions and unallocated corporate expenses and assets.
(9) Includes $70.9 million and $76.9 million of investments in unconsolidated affiliates accounted for using the equity method as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
(10) Includes $94.1 million and $294.1 million of investments in unconsolidated affiliates accounted for using the equity method as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

of Nabors Industries Ltd.:

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Nabors Industries Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011 and the consolidated statements of cash flows and of changes in equity for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011. This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2011, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated February 29, 2012, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2011, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We often discuss expectations regarding our future markets, demand for our products and services, and our performance in our annual and quarterly reports, press releases, and other written and oral statements. Statements relating to matters that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These “forward-looking statements” are based on an analysis of currently available competitive, financial and economic data and our operating plans. They are inherently uncertain and investors should recognize that events and actual results could turn out to be significantly different from our expectations. By way of illustration, when used in this document, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “predict” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

You should consider the following key factors when evaluating these forward-looking statements:

 

   

fluctuations in worldwide prices of and demand for natural gas and oil;

 

   

fluctuations in levels of natural gas and oil exploration and development activities;

 

   

fluctuations in the demand for our services;

 

   

the existence of competitors, technological changes and developments in the oilfield services industry;

 

   

the existence of operating risks inherent in the oilfield services industry;

 

   

the possibility of changes in tax and other laws and regulations;

 

   

the possibility of political instability, war or acts of terrorism; and

 

   

general economic conditions including the capital and credit markets.

Our businesses depend to a large degree on the level of spending by oil and gas companies for exploration, development and production activities. Therefore, a sustained increase or decrease in the price of natural gas or oil that has a material impact on exploration, development or production activities could also materially affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The above description of risks and uncertainties is by no means all-inclusive, but is designed to highlight what we believe are important factors to consider. For a more detailed description of risk factors, please refer to Part I, Item 1A. — Risk Factors in our 2011 Annual Report.

Management Overview

The following discussion and analysis is intended to help the reader understand the results of our operations and our financial condition. This information is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto.

The majority of our business is conducted through our Drilling and Rig Services and our Completion and Production Services business lines. Our Drilling and Rig Services business line includes our drilling operations for oil and natural gas wells, on land and offshore, and companies engaged in drilling technology, top drive manufacturing, directional drilling, construction services, and rig instrumentation and software. Our Completion and Production Services business line includes our well-servicing, fluid logistics, workover operations and our pressure pumping services. In addition to these two primary business lines, we have an Oil and Gas operating segment. Our oil and gas exploration, development and production operations are included in our Oil and Gas operating segment, or in discontinued operations in some cases.

Table of Contents

The magnitude of customer spending on new and existing wells is the primary driver of our business. Our customers’ spending is determined principally by their internally generated cash flow and to a lesser extent by joint venture arrangements and funding from the capital markets. In our Drilling and Rig Services business lines, operations have traditionally been driven by natural gas prices, but the majority of current activity is being driven by the price of oil and natural gas liquids from unconventional reservoirs (shales). In our Completion and Production Services business line, operations are primarily driven by oil prices. The Henry Hub natural gas spot price (per Bloomberg) averaged $3.06 per thousand cubic feet (mcf) during the 12-month period ended June 30, 2012, down from $4.16 per mcf average during the prior 12 months. West Texas intermediate spot crude oil prices (per Bloomberg) averaged $94.91 per barrel for the 12 months ended June 30, 2012, up from $89.41 per barrel average during the preceding 12 months.

Operating revenues and Earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates for the three months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $1.6 billion, representing an increase of $249.8 million, or 18%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2011, and $3.4 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2012, representing an increase of $681.8 million, or 25%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2011. Adjusted income derived from operating activities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $230.4 million and $551.6 million, respectively, representing increases of 30% and 43%, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. Net income (loss) from continuing operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 totaled $(98.7) million ($(.34) per diluted share) and $44.0 million ($.16 per diluted share), respectively, representing decreases of 239% and 73%, respectively, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, our net income (loss) from continuing operations was negatively impacted as a result of charges arising from oil and gas full-cost ceiling test writedowns and other impairments. Earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates includes full-cost ceiling test writedowns of $68.2 million and $145.5 million, respectively, for the first and second quarters of 2012, representing our proportionate share of the writedowns. Net income (loss) from continuing operations was further negatively impacted as a result of impairments and other charges, which included $75.0 million to impair an intangible asset related to the Superior trade name, a provision for the retirement of long-lived assets totaling $46.2 million in multiple operating segments and goodwill impairment totaling $26.3 million.

Excluding these charges, our operating results improved as a result of increased demand for our services and products due to increased drilling activity in oil- and liquids-rich shale plays and increased well-servicing activity in the U.S. and Canada. This has more than offset the drop in demand from gas-related plays.

The lower price environment for natural gas has reduced activity in our gas-driven markets and is adversely impacting our pressure pumping business as the reduced activity has created a sooner than anticipated oversupply of pumping equipment. Directionally, similar forces are at work on land drilling in gas-driven markets but to a lesser degree. We anticipate a protracted weak spot market in pressure pumping operations and flat to slightly lower industry rig activity throughout 2012. While the U.S. Land Drilling and Pressure Pumping operating segments face these headwinds, we expect healthy operations in our remaining segments for the remainder of the year. The key factors supporting our views are:

 

   

The current term contracts in both our Lower 48 Land Drilling and Pressure Pumping operating segments, combined with new and contracted rig deployments in 2012, will mitigate to a degree the continued reduction in gas drilling activity arising from weaker natural gas pricing;

 

   

The increased activity expected in our International operations throughout the year as the result of new contracts for rig deployments in international markets; and

 

   

An expected gradual improvement in our U.S. Offshore results as the pace of permit issuance improves and contribution from a new platform construction project increases throughout 2012.

  (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates (excluding our proportionate share of full-cost ceiling test writedowns recorded by our oil and gas joint venture). These amounts should not be used as a substitute for those amounts reported in accordance with 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 accurately reflect our ongoing profitability. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, which is a GAAP measure, is provided in the above table.
(8) Includes earnings (losses), net from unconsolidated affiliates, accounted for using the equity method, of $5.1 million (excluding our proportionate share of the full-cost ceiling test writedowns totaling $145.5 million) and $6.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $10.7 million (excluding our proportionate share of the full-cost ceiling test writedowns totaling $213.7 million) and $21.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Operating results increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the corresponding 2011 periods primarily due to higher average day rates and increased drilling activity, driven by deployment of rigs into oil-rich shale areas. The increase was partially offset by an increase in operating costs associated with drilling activity, as well as higher depreciation expense related to new rigs placed into service during the past year.

(1) The number is so large that it is meaningless.

Operating results increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the corresponding 2011 periods resulting primarily from higher utilization for the MODS® rigs, SuperSundownerTM platform rigs, and workover jackup rigs, as well as from profits related to a major construction project. Demand for our rigs has increased substantially as operators have obtained permits for drilling operations in the Gulf of Mexico, the issuance of which had been subject to lengthy delays since the Macondo blowout in the Gulf of Mexico in mid-2010.

Operating revenues increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding 2011 periods as a result of an overall increase in drilling rates and production services activity. Drilling average dayrates in 2012, particularly in Western Canada, driven by renewed interest in oil exploration, are supported by strong oil commodity prices. The production services hourly rates during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are in line with the corresponding 2011 periods. Adjusted income derived from operating activities decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the 2011 corresponding quarter as a result of lower drilling margins resulting from higher costs.

Adjusted income derived from operating activities decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding 2011 periods primarily due to decreases in average dayrates and lower utilization of our jackup rigs in Saudi Arabia, lower offshore activity in Congo, and lower margins in Iraq.

Other Rig Services. The results of operations for this segment were as follows:

Operating results for our Canrig business increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding 2011 periods primarily due to increased demand in the United States and Canada drilling markets. Our operating results reflect higher third-party rental of capital equipment and higher sales of RIGWATCHTM software and ROCKITTM directional drilling systems, as well as higher top-drive rental sales.

Additionally, operating results increased for our construction and rig-moving business in Alaska during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding 2011 periods primarily due to an overall increase in the 2012 winter exploration activity. The increases were partially offset by decreased demand for our directional drilling business. Operating costs in the U.S. remained consistent with 2011 levels, while operating costs in Canada decreased during the first half of 2012.

Completion and Production Services

Our Completion and Production Services operations contain one or more of the following operations in the U.S. and Canada: well-servicing, fluid logistics, workover operations and pressure pumping services.

Operating results increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the corresponding 2011 periods primarily due to an increase in rig and truck utilization facilitated by capital invested over the past few years to increase our rig and truck fleets as well as frac tanks. Higher equipment utilization and price improvements were driven primarily by sustained higher oil prices.

Pressure Pumping. The results of operations for this segment were as follows:

Operating results increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the corresponding 2011 periods primarily due to the increased levels of fracturing activity and associated increase in our assets deployed in the major producing areas in the United States.

Oil and Gas. The results from our U.S. oil and gas unconsolidated affiliate were as follows:

(1) The number is so large that it is meaningless.

Earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliate decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to the corresponding 2011 periods primarily as a result of full-cost ceiling test writedowns during the first quarter and second quarters of 2012, of which our proportionate share totaled $68.2 million and $145.5 million, respectively. Excluding the writedowns, the operating results for this same joint venture decreased during the first half of 2012 as compared to 2011 due to sustained lower natural gas prices. Adjusted income derived from operating activities excludes the impact of the full-cost ceiling test writedowns for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012. There were no such writedowns during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

In April 2012, we sold our remaining wholly owned oil and gas business in Colombia to an unrelated third party for a cash purchase price of $72.6 million, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of approximately $48.5 million. These assets were included in our assets held for sale as part of our Oil and Gas operating segment.

In May 2012, we sold some of our U.S. wholly owned oil and gas business in the Fayetteville Shale, Floyd Shale, and Barnett Shale areas to unrelated third parties for cumulative cash receipts of $5.7 million, which did not result in any gain or loss. These assets were included in our assets held for sale as part of our Oil and Gas operating segment. Based on current market conditions and our assessment of the sales price, we adjusted the carrying value of our U.S. wholly owned oil and gas business by $7.2 million in the second quarter of 2012 to reflect their estimated sales price or current fair value.

Based on current market conditions and our assessment of the sales price, we adjusted the carrying value of our aircraft logistics assets by $5.2 million in the second quarter of 2012 to reflect their estimated sales price or current fair value.

The amount of impairments and other charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 included: (i) $26.3 million from goodwill impairment associated with our U.S. Offshore and International reporting units, (ii) $75.0 million related to the impairment of the Superior trade name, and (iii) $46.2 million for a provision for retirement of long-lived assets in our Canada, U.S. Well-servicing and Pressure Pumping Operating Segments.

The impairment of goodwill related to our U.S. Offshore and International reporting units. As of June 30, 2012, these reporting units had no recorded goodwill. The impairments were deemed necessary due to the prolonged uncertainty of utilization of some of our rigs as a result of changes in our customers’ plans for future drilling operations in the Gulf of Mexico as well as our international markets.

The Superior trade name was initially classified as a ten-year intangible asset at the date of acquisition in September 2010. The impairment is a result of the decision to cease using the Superior trade name to reduce confusion in the marketplace and enhance the Nabors brand.

Our provision for retirement of long-lived assets included (i) $15.1 million to Canada operations for functionally obsolete or inoperable rigs, (ii) $4.6 million to our U.S. Well-servicing operations for assets that would require significant repair to return to work and (iii) $26.5 million to our Pressure Pumping operations for non-core assets as we streamline our business lines and consolidate our Pressure Pumping and U.S. Well-servicing segments into one business line, Nabors Completion and Production Services. As a result, we decided to retire these assets. As we continue to streamline our lines of business, there could be future retirement or impairment charges, which could have a potential impact on our future operating results. In addition, a prolonged period of lower natural gas and oil prices and its potential impact on our utilization and dayrates could result in the recognition of future impairment charges to additional assets if future cash flow estimates, based upon information then available to management, indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable.

For additional information on the foregoing, see Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Note 3 – Impairments and Other Charges.

Effective income tax rate from continuing operations

     27     34     (7 %)      (21 %)      42     33     9     27

While our effective income tax rate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 fluctuates substantially when compared to the corresponding 2011 periods, the fluctuations are primarily a result of the proportion of income generated in the United States during each of these periods. Income generated in the United States is generally taxed at a higher rate than that of other jurisdictions.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous other jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. One of the most volatile factors in this determination is the relative proportion of our income or loss being recognized in high- versus low-tax jurisdictions. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We are regularly audited by tax authorities. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final outcome of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different than what is reflected in our income tax provisions and accruals. The results of an audit or litigation could materially affect our financial position, income tax provision, net income, or cash flows.

Various bills have been introduced in Congress that could reduce or eliminate the tax benefits associated with our reorganization as a Bermuda company. Legislation enacted by Congress in 2004 provides that a corporation that reorganized in a foreign jurisdiction on or after March 4, 2003 be treated as a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Nabors’ reorganization was completed on June 24, 2002. There has been and we expect that there may continue to be legislation proposed by Congress from time to time which, if enacted, could limit or eliminate the tax benefits associated with our reorganization.

Because we cannot predict whether any legislation will ultimately be adopted, no assurance can be given that the tax benefits associated with our reorganization will ultimately accrue to the benefit of the Company and its shareholders. It is possible that future changes to the tax laws (including tax treaties) could impact our ability to realize the tax savings recorded to date as well as future tax savings resulting from our reorganization.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Our cash flows depend, to a large degree, on the level of spending by oil and gas companies for exploration, development and production activities. Sustained increases or decreases in the price of natural gas or oil could have a material impact on these activities, and could also materially affect our cash flows. Certain sources and uses of cash, such as the level of discretionary capital expenditures, purchases and sales of investments, issuances and repurchases of debt and of our common shares are within our control and are adjusted as necessary based on market conditions. The following is a discussion of our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $711.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $869.9 million during the corresponding 2011 period. Net cash provided by operating activities is our primary source of capital and liquidity. Factors affecting changes in operating cash flows are largely the same as those that affect net earnings, with the exception of non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization, impairments and other charges, share-based compensation, deferred income taxes and our proportionate share of earnings or losses from unconsolidated affiliates. Net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash components was approximately $871.5 million and $680.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Additionally, changes in working capital items such as increases or decreases in receivables or payables can be a significant factor in the determination of operating cash flows. Changes in working capital items used $159.6 million and provided $189.7 million, respectively, in cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Investing Activities. Net cash used for investing activities totaled $826.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to net cash used for investing activities of $799.1 million during the corresponding 2011 period. The primary use of cash for investing activities is for capital expenditures related to rig-related enhancements, new construction and equipment, as well as sustaining capital expenditures. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we used cash for capital expenditures totaling $967.9 million and $1.0 billion, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, cash of $116.9 million was provided in proceeds from sales of assets and recoveries from insurance claims. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, cash of $25.5 million was provided from sales of investments. Additionally during the six months ended June 30, 2011, we received a distribution of $119.2 million from an unconsolidated affiliate related to proceeds they received from the sale of some of their oil and gas assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we provided cash of $29.8 million to our unconsolidated affiliates.

Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $39.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2012 and consists primarily of amounts drawn from our revolving credit facilities. Net cash used for financing activities was $186.1 million during the corresponding 2011 period. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, we used $1.2 billion in proceeds from our revolving credit facilities to redeem $1.4 billion of our 0.94% senior exchangeable notes.

Future Cash Requirements

In August 2012, Nabors Delaware’s 5.375% senior notes totaling $275.0 million are due. We intend to utilize cash on hand and capacity under our revolving credit facilities to meet this obligation.

We expect capital expenditures over the next 12 months to approximate $1.2 billion. We had outstanding purchase commitments of approximately $.8 billion at June 30, 2012, primarily for rig-related enhancements, new construction and equipment, as well as sustaining capital expenditures, other operating expenses and purchases of inventory. This amount could change significantly based on market conditions and new business opportunities. The level of our outstanding purchase commitments and our expected level of capital expenditures over the next 12 months represent a number of capital programs that are currently underway or planned. These programs will result in an expansion in the number of land drilling rigs, pressure pumping and well-servicing equipment that we own and operate. We can reduce the planned expenditures if necessary, or increase them if market conditions and new business opportunities warrant it.

We have historically completed a number of acquisitions and will continue to evaluate opportunities to acquire assets or businesses to enhance our operations. Several of our previous acquisitions were funded through issuances of debt or our common shares. Future acquisitions may be paid for using existing cash or by issuing debt or additional shares of our stock. Such capital expenditures and acquisitions will depend on our view of market conditions and other factors.

Our discontinued operations include our contracts with pipeline companies include pipeline transmission commitments in the Horn River Basin. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we evaluated current production levels, natural gas prices and the anticipated sales cycle related to the sale of properties corresponding to these commitments. As a result, we recorded liabilities for excess pipeline capacity. Our consolidated balance sheets included current liabilities related to discontinued operations of $63.9 million and $54.3 million that were included in accrued liabilities and noncurrent liabilities related to discontinued operations of $35.3 million and $71.4 million that were included in other long-term liabilities at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. These amounts represent our best estimate of the excess capacity of the pipeline, based upon the estimated sales date of the properties, as compared to the contractual commitments. Our commitments beyond December 31, 2013 could approximate $265.4 million if the related properties are not sold or developed. Decreases in actual production, natural gas prices or a change in the estimated sales date could result in future charges related to excess capacity of the pipeline that may materially impact our results of operations.

See our discussion of guarantees issued by Nabors that could have a potential impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in future periods included below under Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements (Including Guarantees).

There have been no significant changes to our contractual cash obligations table which was included in our 2011 Annual Report.

We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, both in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

See Note 18 – Commitments and Contingencies in our 2011 Annual Report for discussion of commitments and contingencies relating to (i) our employment agreement with Mr. Petrello that could result in a cash payment of $50 million by the Company if his employment were terminated in the event of his death or disability or a cash payment of approximately $31.1 million if his employment were terminated without cause or in the event of a change in control and (ii) off-balance sheet arrangements (including guarantees).

Financial Condition and Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity are operating cash flows, cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments and availability under our various revolving credit facilities. As of June 30, 2012, we had cash and short-term investments of $455.2 million and working capital of $1.5 billion. We also had $490 million of availability remaining from a combined total of $1.4 billion under revolving credit facilities. As of December 31, 2011, we had cash and short-term investments of $539.5 million and working capital of $1.3 billion.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we sold our remaining wholly owned oil and gas business in Colombia and some of our U.S. wholly owned oil and gas business for cumulative cash receipts of $78.3 million.

We had seven letter-of-credit facilities with various banks as of June 30, 2012. Availability under these facilities as of June 30, 2012 was as follows:

 

     (In thousands)  

Credit available

   $ 290,900   

Less: Letters of credit outstanding, inclusive of financial and performance guarantees

     73,714   
  

 

 

 

Remaining availability

   $ 217,186   
  

 

 

 

Our revolving credit facilities contain various covenants and restrictive provisions that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments or loans and create liens and require us to maintain the net funded indebtedness to total capitalization ratio, as defined in each agreement, at certain levels. We were in compliance with all covenants under the agreement at June 30, 2012.

Our ability to access capital markets or to otherwise obtain sufficient financing is enhanced by our senior unsecured debt ratings as provided by Fitch Ratings, Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s and our historical ability to access those markets as needed. While there can be no assurances that we will be able to access these markets in the future, we believe that we will be able to access capital markets or otherwise obtain financing in order to satisfy any payment obligation that might arise upon purchase of our notes, payment of other debt and that any cash payment due, in addition to our other cash obligations, would not ultimately have a material adverse impact on our liquidity or financial position. A credit downgrade may impact our ability to access credit markets.

Our gross funded debt to capital ratio was 0.42:1 as of June 30, 2012 and 0.43:1 as of December 31, 2011. Our net funded debt to capital ratio was 0.40:1 as of each June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

The gross funded debt to capital ratio is calculated by dividing (x) funded debt by (y) funded debt plus deferred tax liabilities (net of deferred tax assets) plus capital. Funded debt is the sum of (1) short-term borrowings, (2) the current portion of long-term debt and (3) long-term debt. Capital is shareholders’ equity.

The net funded debt to capital ratio is calculated by dividing (x) 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 investments. Both of these ratios are used to calculate a company’s leverage in relation to its capital. Neither ratio measures operating performance or liquidity as defined by GAAP and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Our interest coverage ratio was 8.6:1 as of June 30, 2012 and 8.1:1 as of December 31, 2011. The interest coverage ratio is a trailing 12-month quotient of the sum of (x) income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest, interest expense, subsidiary preferred stock dividends, depreciation and amortization, income tax expense (benefit) and our proportionate share of writedowns from our unconsolidated oil and gas joint venture less investment income (loss) divided by (y) the sum of cash interest expense and subsidiary preferred stock dividends. This ratio is a method for calculating the amount of operating cash flows available to cover cash interest expense. The interest coverage ratio is not a measure of operating performance or liquidity defined by GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Our current cash and investments, projected cash flows from operations, possible dispositions of non-core assets and our revolving credit facilities are expected to adequately finance our purchase commitments, scheduled debt service requirements, and all other expected cash requirements for the next 12 months.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We may be exposed to market risk through changes in interest rates and foreign-currency risk arising from our operations in international markets as discussed in our 2011 Annual Report.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

  (a) Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. We have investments in certain unconsolidated entities that we do not control or manage. Because we do not control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to these entities are necessarily more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and its Principal Accounting and Financial Officer (the “reviewing officers”), has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the reviewing officers have concluded that, as of the end of the period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act and are effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or furnishes under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the reviewing officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

  (b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) during the most recently completed quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Nabors and its subsidiaries are defendants or otherwise involved in a number of lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. We estimate the range of our liability related to pending litigation when we believe the amount and range of loss can reasonably be estimated. We record our best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable. When a liability is probable and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate in the range, we record the minimum estimated liability related to the lawsuits or claims. As additional information becomes available, we assess the potential liability related to our pending litigation and claims and revise our estimates. Due to uncertainties related to the resolution of lawsuits and claims, the ultimate outcome may differ from our estimates. In the opinion of management and based on liability accruals provided, our ultimate exposure with respect to these pending lawsuits and claims is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or cash flows, although they could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for a particular reporting period.

Refer to Note 12 Commitments and Contingencies for discussion of previously disclosed litigation contingencies.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes during the three months ended June 30, 2012 to the “Risk Factors” discussed in our 2011 Annual Report.
