Nabors Industries Ltd. and Subsidiaries

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1 Nature of Operations

 

We own and operate the world’s largest land-based drilling rig fleet and are a leading provider of offshore platform workover and drilling rigs in the United States and numerous international markets. As a global provider of services for land-based and offshore oil and natural gas wells, our fleet of rigs and drilling-related equipment as of March 31, 2016 includes:

 

·

427 actively marketed rigs for land-based drilling operations in the United States, Canada and approximately 20 other countries throughout the world; and

 

·

43 actively marketed rigs for offshore drilling operations in the United States and multiple international markets.

 

We also provide innovative drilling technology and equipment and comprehensive well-site services including engineering, transportation and disposal, construction, maintenance, well logging, directional drilling, rig instrumentation, data collection and other support services in many of the most significant oil and gas markets in the world. In addition, we manufacture and lease or sell top drives and other rig equipment.

 

On March 24, 2015, we completed the merger (the “Merger”) of our Completion & Production Services business with C&J Energy Services, Inc. (“C&J Energy”). In the Merger and related transactions, our wholly-owned interest in our Completion & Production Services business was exchanged for cash and an equity interest in the combined entity, C&J Energy Services Ltd. (“CJES”), and has been accounted for as an unconsolidated affiliate as of the acquisition date. As a result of the Merger, we report our share of the earnings (losses) of CJES through earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statements of income (loss). See further discussion in Note 3 — Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates. Prior to the Merger, our Completion & Production Services business conducted our operations involved in the completion, life-of-well maintenance and plugging and abandonment of wells in the United States and Canada. These services include stimulation, coiled-tubing, cementing, wireline, workover, well-servicing and fluids management. As we no longer consolidate the results of operations from our historical Completion & Production Services business, our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not directly comparable to the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Our Drilling & Rig Services business is comprised of our global land-based and offshore drilling rig operations and other rig services, consisting of equipment manufacturing, rig instrumentation, optimization software and directional drilling services. Our Drilling & Rig Services business consists of four reportable operating segments: U.S., Canada, International and Rig Services. Through our investment in CJES, we remain engaged in the completion and production services business. CJES provides well construction, well completions, well support and other complementary oilfield services to oil and gas exploration and production companies primarily in North America.

 

On May 24, 2015, we paid $106.0 million in cash to acquire the remaining 49% equity interest in Nabors Arabia Company Limited (“Nabors Arabia”), our joint venture in Saudi Arabia, making it a wholly owned subsidiary. The effects of the acquisition and the operating results of Nabors Arabia are included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date, and are reflected in our International drilling segment.

 

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” or “Nabors” mean Nabors Industries Ltd., together with our subsidiaries where the context requires, including Nabors Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Nabors Delaware”), our wholly owned subsidiary.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Nabors have been prepared in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). 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, 2015, as amended (“2015 Annual Report”). In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2016 and the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and changes in equity for the periods presented herein. Interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 may not be indicative of results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2016.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nabors, as well as all majority owned and non-majority owned subsidiaries required to be consolidated under GAAP. 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). The investments in these entities are included in investment in unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated balance sheets. We record our share of the net income (loss) of our equity method investment in CJES on a one-quarter lag, as we are not able to obtain the financial information of CJES on a timely basis. See Note 3 — Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates.

 

Inventory

 

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out or weighted-average cost methods and includes the cost of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead.  Inventory included the following:

Goodwill

 

We review goodwill for impairment annually during the second quarter of each fiscal year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such goodwill and intangible assets exceed their fair value. We initially assess goodwill for impairment based on qualitative factors to determine whether to perform the two-step annual goodwill impairment test, a Level 3 fair value measurement. After our qualitative assessment, step one of 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. The 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 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 oil and natural gas prices, a variance in results of operations from forecasts, a change in operating strategy of assets 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 compare the sum of

Table of Contents

our reporting units’ estimated fair value, which includes the estimated fair value of non-operating assets and liabilities, less debt, to our market capitalization and assess 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.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) relating to consolidation, which eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership. It also modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships are variable interest entities or voting interest entities and adds requirements that limited partnerships must meet to qualify as voting interest entities. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU relating to the revenue recognition from contracts with customers that creates a common revenue standard for GAAP and IFRS. The core principle will require recognition of revenue to represent the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration, including costs incurred, to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one year deferral of this standard, with a new effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact this will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the measurement of inventory by changing the subsequent measurement guidance from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value for inventory. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using the last-in, first-out or the retail inventory method. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the accounting for measurement-period adjustments in connection with business combinations by requiring that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued an ASU relating to the recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. This standard enhances the reporting model for financial instruments, which includes amendments to address aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the transition to the equity method of accounting. This standard eliminates the requirement to retroactively adopt the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence. Instead, the equity method investor should add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment qualifies for the equity method of accounting. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 3 Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

 

On March 24, 2015, we completed the Merger of our Completion & Production Services business with C&J Energy.  We received total consideration comprised of approximately $693.5 million in cash ($650.1 million after settlement of working capital requirements) and approximately 62.5 million common shares in the combined company, CJES, representing approximately 53% of the outstanding and issued common shares of CJES as of the closing date. Because

10


 

Table of Contents

we have significant influence over CJES, but not a controlling financial interest, we account for our investment in CJES under the equity method of accounting. 

 

Our consolidated statement of income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2015 consolidates the operating results of our Completion & Production Services business through the closing date of the Merger. As a result of the Merger, CJES became an unconsolidated affiliate and we no longer consolidate the operating results of our Completion & Production Services business. Therefore, subsequent to the closing date of the Merger, our share of the net income (loss), as adjusted for our basis difference, of our equity method investment in CJES is recorded as earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statements of income (loss). Our policy is to record our share of the net income (loss) of CJES on a one-quarter lag as we are not able to obtain the financial information of CJES on a timely basis. Accordingly, the equity in earnings from CJES, which is reflected in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statement of income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is related to the period from October 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015.

 

We record our investment in the equity of CJES in the Investment in unconsolidated affiliates line in our consolidated balance sheet. We review our equity method investments for impairment whenever certain impairment indicators exist including the absence of an ability to recover the carrying amount of the investment or inability of the investee to sustain an earnings capacity which would justify the carrying amount of the investment. A loss in value of an investment that is other than a temporary decline should be recognized. During the quarter, we determined the carrying value of our investment was other than temporarily impaired, which resulted in an impairment charge of $153.4 million to reduce our carrying value to its estimated fair value determined principally based on the average share price over a specified period. Additionally, we recognized a $23.8 million charge to reserve certain other amounts associated with our CJES holdings including affiliate receivables. These charges are reflected in other expense (income), net in our consolidated statement of income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2016. See Note 10 – Supplemental Balance Sheet, Income Statement and Cash Flow Information.

 

During the first quarter of 2015, we recognized an estimated gross gain of $102.2 million in connection with the Merger based on the difference between the consideration received and the carrying value of the assets and liabilities of our Completion & Production Services business. This gain was partially offset by $49.6 million in transaction costs related to the Merger.

 

The following table presents summarized income statement (loss) information for CJES for the three months ended December 31, 2015, which is reflected in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statement of income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2016:

Note 4 Fair Value Measurements

 

Our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2016 consist of available-for-sale equity and debt securities. 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 March 31, 2016, there were no transfers of our financial assets 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. The majority of our short-term investments are categorized as Level 1 and had a fair value of $20.8 million as of March 31, 2016.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

 

We applied fair value measurements to our nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis, which consist of measurements primarily to assets held-for-sale, goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination and our pipeline contractual commitment.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

We estimate the fair value of our financial instruments in accordance with GAAP. The fair value of our long-term debt, revolving credit facility and commercial paper is estimated based on quoted market prices or prices quoted from third-party financial institutions. The carrying and fair values of these liabilities were as follows:

Note 5 Share-Based Compensation

 

We have several share-based employee and director compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 7 — Share-Based Compensation in our 2015 Annual Report. Total share-based compensation expense, which includes stock options and restricted shares, totaled $7.4 million and $13.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which 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 12 — Segment Information.

 

Stock Options

 

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during three months ended March 31, 2015 was $0.1 million. No options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2016. The total fair value of options that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $1.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

 

Restricted Stock

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we awarded 1,011,737 and 1,514,934 restricted shares, respectively, to our employees and directors.  These awards had an aggregate value at their date of grant of $7.8 million and $19.3 million, respectively, and were scheduled to vest over a period of up to four years.  The fair value of restricted shares that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $8.0 million and $15.7 million, respectively. The fair value of these awards is based on the closing price of Nabors stock on the date the awards are granted.

Table of Contents

Restricted Stock Based on Performance

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we awarded 438,307 restricted shares vesting over a period of three years to some of our executives.  The performance awards granted were based upon achievement of specific financial or operational objectives. The number of shares granted was determined by the number of performance goals achieved during fiscal year 2014.

 

Until shares are issued, our awards that are earned based on performance conditions are liability-classified awards. Our accrued liabilities included $3.7 million for such awards at March 31, 2016 for the performance period beginning on January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015 and $0.6 million for such awards at March 31, 2016 for the performance period beginning January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016. The fair value of these awards that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $1.5 million and $6.8 million, respectively. The fair value of these awards are estimated at each reporting period, based on internal metrics and marked to market.

 

Restricted Stock Based on Market Conditions

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we awarded 749,427 and 544,925 restricted shares, respectively, which are equity classified awards and will vest based on our performance compared to our peer group over a three-year period. These awards had an aggregate value at their date of grant of $4.2 million and $4.7 million, respectively, after consideration of all assumptions.

 

The grant date fair value of these awards was based on a Monte Carlo model, using the following assumptions:

The 2.35% senior notes due September 2016 have been classified as long-term as we have the ability and intent to repay this obligation utilizing our revolving credit facility.

Table of Contents

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we repurchased $154.1 million aggregate principal amount of our senior notes (all of which is now held by a consolidated affiliate) at various maturities for approximately $150.4 million in cash, reflecting principal and approximately $2.9 million of accrued and unpaid interest. The discount represents the gain on the debt buybacks and is included in other expense (income), net in our consolidated statement of income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Commercial Paper Program

 

As of March 31, 2016, we had approximately $9.3 million of commercial paper outstanding.  The weighted average interest rate on borrowings at March 31, 2016 was 1.07%.  Our commercial paper borrowings are classified as long-term debt because the borrowings are fully supported by availability under our revolving credit facility, which matures as currently structured in July 2020, more than one year from now.

 

Revolving Credit Facility

 

As of March 31, 2016, we had $80.0 million of borrowings outstanding under this facility, which matures in July 2020. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings at March 31, 2016 was 1.75%. The revolving credit facility contains 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 the agreement. We were in compliance with all covenants under the agreement at March 31, 2016. If we fail to perform our obligations under the covenants, the revolving credit commitment could be terminated, and any outstanding borrowings under the facility could be declared immediately due and payable.

 

Term Loan Facility

 

On February 6, 2015, Nabors Industries, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an unsecured term loan facility for $300.0 million with a three-year maturity, which was fully and unconditionally guaranteed by us. Under the new term loan facility, we were required to prepay the loan upon the closing of the Merger, or if we otherwise disposed of assets, issued term debt, or issued equity with net proceeds of more than $70.0 million, subject to certain exceptions. The term loan agreement contained customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default for loan facilities of this type.  On March 27, 2015, we repaid the $300.0 million term loan, according to the terms of the agreement using a portion of the cash consideration received in connection with the Merger and the facility was terminated.

 

On September 29, 2015, Nabors Industries, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a new five-year unsecured term loan facility for $325.0 million, which is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by us. The term loan facility contains a mandatory prepayment of $162.5 million due in September 2018. As of March 31, 2016, we had $325.0 million of borrowings outstanding under this facility.  Borrowings under this facility will bear interest for periods of one, two, three or six months, at an annual rate equal to LIBOR, plus the applicable interest margin. The interest margin is based on our long-term unsecured credit rating for debt as in effect from time to time.

 

Note 7 Common Shares

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, our employees exercised vested options to acquire 0.02 million of our common shares resulting in proceeds of $0.2 million. No options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2016. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we withheld 0.2 million and 0.6 million, respectively, of our common shares with a fair value of $1.9 million and $7.1 million, respectively, to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of all stock awards.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we repurchased 0.3 million of our common shares in the open market for $1.7 million, all of which are held in treasury.

 

On February 19, 2016, a cash dividend of $0.06 per share was declared for shareholders of record on March 10, 2016. The dividend was paid on March 31, 2016 in the amount of $16.9 million and was charged to retained earnings in our consolidated statement of changes in equity for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Note 8 Commitments and Contingencies

 

Contingencies

 

Income Tax

 

Income tax returns that we file are subject to review and examination. We do not recognize the benefit of income tax positions we believe are more likely than not to be disallowed upon challenge by a tax authority. If any tax authority successfully challenges our operational structure, intercompany pricing policies or the taxable presence of our subsidiaries in certain countries, if the terms of certain income tax treaties are interpreted in a manner that is adverse to our structure, or if we lose a material tax dispute in any country, our effective tax rate on our worldwide earnings could change substantially.

 

We have received an assessment from the Mexico federal tax authority in connection with our 2007 income tax return. The assessment relates to the denial of depreciation expense deductions related to drilling rigs. Similar deductions were taken for tax years 2008 through 2010. Although Nabors and its tax advisors believe these deductions are defensible, a partial reserve has been recorded. The total amounts assessed or expected to be assessed range from $25 million to $30 million. We have not changed our position to defend this issue, as we are confident that we will prevail in court. If we ultimately do not prevail, we would be required to recognize additional tax expense for any 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 and are actuarially supported. 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.

 

We self-insure for certain losses relating to workers’ compensation, employers’ liability, general liability, automobile liability and property damage. Effective April 1, 2016, some of our workers’ compensation claims, employers’ liability and marine employers’ liability claims are subject to a $3.0 million per-occurrence deductible; additionally, some of our automobile liability claims are subject to a $2.5 million deductible.  General liability claims remain subject to a $5.0 million per-occurrence deductible.

 

In addition, we are subject to a $5.0 million deductible for land rigs and for offshore rigs. This applies to all kinds of risks of physical damage except for named windstorms in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico for which we are self-insured.

 

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 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.

In 2009, the Court of Ouargla entered a judgment of approximately $13.1 million (at March 31, 2016 exchange rates) against us relating to alleged customs infractions in Algeria.  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 (the “Supreme Court”). In May 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. In January 2013, the Ouargla Court of Appeals reinstated the judgment. We again lodged an appeal to the Supreme Court, asserting the same challenges as before. While the appeal was pending, the Hassi Messaoud customs office initiated efforts to collect the judgment prior to the Supreme Court’s decision in the case. As a result, we paid approximately $3.1 million and posted security of approximately $1.33 million to suspend those collection efforts and to enter into a formal negotiations process with the customs authority. The customs authority demanded 50% of the total fine as a final settlement and seized additional funds of approximately $3.6 million. We have recorded a reserve in the amount of the posted security. The matter was heard by the Supreme Court on February 26, 2015, and on March 26, 2015, that court set aside the judgment of the Ouargla Court of Appeals and remanded the case to that court for further proceedings. A hearing was held on October 28, 2015 in the Ouargla Court of Appeals and on November 4, 2015, the court affirmed the Supreme Court’s decision that we were not guilty. We have filed an application to the Conseil d’Etat in an effort to recover amounts previously paid by us. A portion of those amounts has been returned, and our efforts to recover the additional $4.4 million continue.

 

In March 2011, the Court of Ouargla entered a judgment of approximately $25.8 million (at March 31, 2016 exchange rates) 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. 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 upheld the lower court’s ruling, and we appealed the matter to the Supreme Court. On September 25, 2014, the Supreme Court overturned the verdict against us, and the case was reheard by the Ouargla Court of Appeals on March 22, 2015 in light of the Supreme Court’s opinion. On March 29, 2015, the Ouargla Court of Appeals reinstated the initial judgment against us. We have appealed this decision again to the Supreme Court. While our payments were consistent with our historical operations in the country, and, we believe, those of other multinational corporations there, as well as interpretations of the law by the Central Bank of Algeria, the ultimate resolution of this matter could result in a loss of up to $17.8 million in excess of amounts accrued.

 

In 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 $3.0 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 $750.0 million based on an alleged breach of contract by NGH2L and alleged tortious interference with contractual relations by Parex. We successfully defeated ERG’s effort to obtain a temporary restraining order from the Texas court on March 20, 2012. We completed the sale of Ramshorn’s Class A shares to a Parex affiliate in April 2012, which mooted ERG’s application for a temporary injunction. The defendants made numerous jurisdictional challenges and on April 30, 2015, ERG filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, the civil actions are currently subject to the bankruptcy stay and the claims in the suit are assets of the estate. Nabors is monitoring the bankruptcy proceeding closely to determine how it will affect the pending litigation. The lawsuit is stayed, pending further court actions, including appeals of the jurisdictional decisions. ERG retains its causes of action for monetary damages, but we believe the claims are foreclosed by the terms of the agreement and are without factual or legal merit. Although we are vigorously defending the lawsuit, its ultimate outcome cannot be determined at this time.

 

On July 30, 2014, we and Red Lion, along with C&J Energy and its board of directors, were sued in a putative shareholder class action filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”). The plaintiff alleges that the members of the C&J Energy board of directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Merger, and that Red Lion and C&J Energy aided and abetted these alleged breaches. The plaintiff sought to enjoin the defendants from proceeding with or consummating the Merger and the C&J Energy stockholder meeting for approval of

Table of Contents

the Merger and, to the extent that the Merger was completed before any relief was granted, to have the Merger rescinded. On November 10, 2014, the plaintiff filed a motion for a preliminary injunction, and, on November 24, 2014, the Court of Chancery entered a bench ruling, followed by a written order on November 25, 2014, that (i) ordered certain members of the C&J Energy board of directors to solicit for a 30 day period alternative proposals to purchase C&J Energy (or a controlling stake in C&J Energy) that were superior to the Merger, and (ii) preliminarily enjoined C&J Energy from holding its stockholder meeting until it complied with the foregoing. C&J Energy complied with the order while it simultaneously pursued an expedited appeal of the Court of Chancery’s order to the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Supreme Court”). On December 19, 2014, the Delaware Supreme Court overturned the Court of Chancery’s judgment and vacated the order. This case remains pending.

 

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:

Note 9 Earnings (Losses) Per Share

 

ASC 260, Earnings per Share, requires companies to treat unvested share-based payment awards that have nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings (losses) per share.  We have granted and expect to continue to grant to employees restricted stock grants that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends.  Such grants are considered participating securities under ASC 260.  As such, we are required to include these grants in the calculation of our basic earnings (losses) per share and calculate basic earnings (losses) per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings.

 

Basic earnings (losses) per share is computed utilizing the two-class method and is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented.

 

Diluted earnings (losses) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods utilizing the two-class method for stock options and unvested restricted stock.

For all periods presented, the computation of diluted earnings (losses) per Nabors’ share excludes outstanding stock options 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. For periods in which we experience a net loss from continuing operations, all potential common shares have been excluded from the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The average number of options that were excluded from diluted earnings (losses) per share that would potentially dilute earnings per share in the future were as follows:

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 such stock is considered participating securities.

We have contracts with pipeline companies to pay specified fees based on committed volumes for gas transport and processing.  At March 31, 2016, our undiscounted contractual commitments for these contracts approximated $23.0 million and we had liabilities of $16.1 million, $5.5 million of which were classified as current and were included in accrued liabilities.  At December 31, 2015, our undiscounted contractual commitments for these contracts approximated $23.3 million and we had liabilities of $16.1 million, $5.2 million of which were classified as current and were included in accrued liabilities. These amounts represent our best estimate of the fair value of the excess capacity of the pipeline commitments calculated using a discounted cash flow model, when considering our disposal plan, current production levels, natural gas prices and expected utilization of the pipeline over the remaining contractual term.  Decreases in actual production or natural gas prices could result in future charges related to excess pipeline commitments.

(1)

All periods present the operating activities of most of our wholly owned oil and gas businesses as discontinued operations.

 

(2)

Includes our other services comprised of our drilling technology and top drive manufacturing, directional drilling, rig instrumentation and software services.

 

(3)

Represents the elimination of inter-segment transactions.

 

(4)

Adjusted operating income (loss) is computed by subtracting the sum of direct costs, general and administrative expenses, research and engineering expenses and depreciation and amortization from operating revenues. Adjusted operating income (loss) is a non-GAAP measure and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management evaluates the performance of our operating segments and the consolidated company based on several criteria, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss), because we believe that these financial measures accurately reflect our ongoing profitability and performance. In addition, securities analysts and investors use this measure as one of the metrics on which they analyze our performance. 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.

 

(5)

Represents the elimination of inter-segment transactions and unallocated corporate expenses, assets and capital expenditures

 

(6)

Represents our share of the net income (loss), as adjusted for our basis difference, of our unconsolidated affiliates accounted for by the equity method including a loss of $167.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, related to our share of the net loss of CJES, which we report on a one-quarter lag.

 

(7)

Includes $93.8 million and $415.2 million of investments in unconsolidated affiliates accounted for using the equity method as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, including our investment in CJES.

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

 

We often discuss expectations regarding our future markets, demand for our products and services, and our performance in our annual, quarterly and current 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 and volatility in worldwide prices of and demand for oil and natural gas;

 

·

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

 

·

fluctuations in the demand for our services;

 

·

competitive and technological changes and other developments in the oil and gas and oilfield services industries;

 

·

changes in the market value of investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting;

 

·

our ability to complete, and realize the expected benefits of, strategic transactions;

 

·

the existence of operating risks inherent in the oil and gas and oilfield services industries;

 

·

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

 

·

the possibility of political or economic instability, civil disturbance, war or acts of terrorism in any of the countries in which we do business; and

 

·

general economic conditions, including the capital and credit markets.

 

The above description of risks and uncertainties is not all-inclusive, but highlights certain factors that we believe are important for your consideration. For a more detailed description of risk factors, please refer to Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Management Overview

 

This section is intended to help you understand our results of 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.

 

We own and operate the world’s largest land-based drilling rig fleet and are a leading provider of offshore platform workover and drilling rigs in the United States and multiple international markets. Our Drilling & Rig Services business is comprised of our global land-based and offshore drilling rig operations and other rig services, consisting of equipment manufacturing, rig instrumentation, optimization software and directional drilling services. Our Drilling & Rig Services business consists of four reportable operating segments: U.S., Canada, International and Rig Services.

On March 24, 2015, we completed the Merger of our Completion & Production Services business with C&J Energy. In the Merger and related transactions, our wholly-owned interest in our Completion & Production Service business was exchanged for cash and an equity interest in the combined entity, CJES, and is now accounted for as an unconsolidated affiliate as of the acquisition date. See further discussion in Note 3—Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates. Prior to the Merger, our Completion & Production Services business conducted our operations involved in the completion, life-of-well maintenance and plugging and abandonment of a well in the United States and Canada. These services include stimulation, coiled-tubing, cementing, wireline, workover, well-servicing and fluids management. As a result of the Merger, we report our share of the earnings (losses) of CJES through earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statements of income (loss). CJES provides well construction, well completions, well support and other complementary oilfield services to oil and gas exploration and production companies primarily in North America. As we no longer consolidate the results of operations from our historical Completion & Production Services business, our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 are not directly comparable to the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

On May 24, 2015, we paid $106.0 million in cash to acquire the remaining 49% equity interest in Nabors Arabia, our joint venture in Saudi Arabia, making it a wholly owned subsidiary. The effects of the acquisition and the operating results of Nabors Arabia are included in the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements beginning on the acquisition date, and are reflected in our International drilling segment.

 

Financial Results

 

Operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016 totaled $597.6 million, representing a decrease of $817.1 million, or 58%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015. Adjusted operating loss and net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 totaled $53.8 million and $396.6 million ($1.41 per diluted share), respectively, representing decreases of 162% and 421%, respectively, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015. Our first quarter results reflect the continued strain from low commodity prices. Oil prices fell below $30 during the first quarter of 2016, exacerbating spending declines implemented by customers. Together, these trends led to sharp reductions in the level of activity in the oil and gas industries on a worldwide basis and had a corresponding adverse impact on our results of operations. In the U.S., our customers' reaction to commodity price drops resulted in a roughly equal impact on both rig years and margins.  Internationally, a reduction of rig years combined with other unfavorable factors resulted in lower operating results for the quarter.  Additionally, the Canada market's typical seasonal uptick in the first quarter failed to materialize this year due to market conditions. Given the commodity price environment, we expect continued erosion at least through the first half of the year in industry rig counts, both domestic and international, as well as continued downward pressure on utilization and pricing of our rig fleets.

 

The following tables set forth certain information with respect to our reportable segments and rig activity:

Adjusted EBITDA is computed by subtracting the sum of direct costs, general and administrative expenses and research and engineering expenses from operating revenues. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management evaluates the performance of our operating segments and the consolidated company based on several criteria, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss), because we believe that these financial measures accurately reflect our ongoing profitability and performance. In addition, securities analysts and investors use this measure as one of the metrics on which they analyze our performance. 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.

However, management evaluates the performance of our operating segments and the consolidated company based on several criteria, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss), because we believe that these financial measures accurately reflect our ongoing profitability and performance. In addition, securities analysts and investors use this measure as one of the metrics on which they analyze our performance. 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)

Represents our share of the net income (loss), as adjusted for our basis difference, of our unconsolidated affiliates accounted for by the equity method, including a loss of $167.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 related to our share of the net loss of CJES, which we report on a one-quarter lag.

 

(8)

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 45 days during a quarterly period represents 0.5 rig years.

 

(9)

International rig years include our equivalent percentage ownership of rigs owned by unconsolidated affiliates, which totaled 2.5 years for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Beginning May 24, 2015, Nabors Arabia’s operations have been consolidated and therefore, we no longer have rigs owned by unconsolidated affiliates.

 

(10)

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

The number is so large that it is not meaningful.

U.S.

 

Our U.S. Drilling segment includes land drilling activities in the lower 48 states, Alaska and offshore operations in the Gulf of Mexico.

 

Operating results decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding 2015 period primarily due to a decline in drilling activity in the lower 48 states, reflected by a 61% reduction in rig years during the first quarter of 2016 compared to 2015. The decrease in our operating results was primarily driven by lower customer demand for drilling rigs as well as generally lower rates for rigs.

 

Canada

 

Operating results decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding 2015 period due to a decline in both drilling rig activity and dayrates. These declines were the direct result of lower industry activity and pricing pressure from customers resulting from the decline in oil and gas prices. The lower activity is evidenced by a 51% reduction in rig years during the first quarter of 2016 compared to 2015. In addition, the Canadian dollar weakened approximately 5% against the U.S. dollar year-over-year, which also negatively impacted margins, as both revenues and expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars.

 

International

 

Operating results decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding 2015 period primarily due to a decline in drilling activity, reflected by a 15% reduction in rig years during the first quarter of 2016 compared to 2015. The decrease in our operating results was primarily driven by additional pricing pressure and diminished demand as customers released rigs in response to the significant drop in oil prices.

36


 

Table of Contents

 

Rig Services

 

Operating results decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding 2015 period primarily due to a broad-based decline in revenue-producing activities, including lower top drive and catwalk unit sales as well as the continued decline in financial results in our directional drilling businesses due to generally lower drilling activity and intense competition and the low price of oil.

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the corresponding 2015 period. Over half of the decrease, approximately $27.9 million, was due to the fact that we no longer consolidate the expenses from our Completion & Production Services business as a result of the Merger. The remainder of the decrease was attributable to a reduction in workforce and general cost-reduction efforts across our remaining operating units and our corporate offices. As a percentage of operating revenues, general and administrative expenses are slightly higher in 2016 due to the reductions in revenues across all of our various operating units.

 

Research and engineering

 

Research and engineering expenses decreased slightly during the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the corresponding 2015 period. The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in workforce and general cost-reduction efforts across the various operating units

 

Depreciation and amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding 2015 period. The decrease was due in part to the fact that we no longer consolidate the expenses from our Completion & Production Services business as a result of the Merger, which accounted for $53.7 million, or 82% of the decrease. The remainder of the decrease was due to the impairment and retirement of rigs and rig components during the fourth quarter of 2015, which more than offset the incremental depreciation attributed to newly constructed rigs, rig upgrades and other capital expenditures made during 2015.

 

Earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates

 

Earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates represents our share of the net income (loss), as adjusted for our basis differences, of our equity method investments, primarily composed of our investment in CJES. We account for our investment in CJES on a one-quarter lag. Accordingly, the three months ended March 31, 2016 includes our share of the net income (loss) of CJES from October 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015, resulting in a loss of $167.1 million,

37


 

Table of Contents

inclusive of charges of $131.2 million representing our share of CJES’s fixed asset impairment charges for the period. The operating losses of CJES for the three months ended December 31, 2015 are primarily due to reduced activity levels driven by lower customer demand as a result of lower oil prices coupled with the further pricing concessions required by the highly competitive environment. Further sustained declines in oil prices and activity levels in the pressure pumping business could impact CJES’s operations and the fair value of its assets, resulting in future operating losses.

 

Interest expense

 

Interest expense was relatively flat during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding 2015 period. Our average outstanding debt balances during the first quarter of 2016 were lower than those in the corresponding 2015 period, primarily due to the repayment of a portion of our outstanding debt using cash consideration received in connection with the Merger. However, due to the downturn in the oil and gas markets, we have curtailed spending on major projects, which resulted in a reduction in the amount of capitalized interest recognized during the period and thereby partially offsetting the benefit realized from lower average outstanding debt balances.

 

Investment income

 

Investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 included realized gains of $0.4 million attributable to interest and dividend income.

 

Investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 included realized gains of $0.5 million related to equity securities and $0.5 million attributable to interest and dividend income.

 

Other expense (income), net

 

Other expense (income), net for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $182.4 million of expense, of which the majority, or $177.2 million, is attributable to impairments associated with our CJES holdings. During the quarter, we determined the carrying value of our investment in CJES was other than temporarily impaired, which resulted in an impairment charge of $153.4 million to reduce our carrying value to its estimated fair value determined principally based on the average price over a specified period.  The balance of the impairment was attributable to our reserve of certain other amounts associated with our CJES holdings, including affiliate receivables. Further contributing to the expense for the quarter were net losses on sales and disposals of assets of approximately $5.3 million and foreign currency exchange losses of approximately $4.2 million, partially offset by a net gain on debt buybacks of approximately $6.0 million.

 

Other expense (income), net for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $55.8 million of income, which included a net gain of $52.6 million related to the Merger, decreases to our litigation reserves of $4.1 million and foreign currency exchange gains of approximately $2.3 million. These gains were partially offset by net losses on sales and disposals of assets of approximately $3.5 million.

The change in our worldwide effective tax rate during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the corresponding 2015 period was attributable to the tax effect of the geographic mix of pre-tax earnings (losses), including greater losses in high-tax jurisdictions. Further contributing to the change was an impairment to our CJES holdings as well as our share of the net loss of CJES during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

We have contracts with pipeline companies to pay specified fees based on committed volumes for gas transport and processing.  At March 31, 2016, our undiscounted contractual commitments for these contracts approximated $23.0 million and we had liabilities of $16.1 million, $5.5 million of which were classified as current and were included in accrued liabilities.  At December 31, 2015, our undiscounted contractual commitments for these contracts approximated $23.3 million and we had liabilities of $16.1 million, $5.2 million of which were classified as current and were included in accrued liabilities. These amounts represent our best estimate of the fair value of the excess capacity of the pipeline commitments calculated using a discounted cash flow model, when considering our disposal plan, current production levels, natural gas prices and expected utilization of the pipeline over the remaining contractual term.  Decreases in actual production or natural gas prices could result in future charges related to excess pipeline commitments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Cash Flows

 

Certain sources and uses of cash, such as the level of discretionary capital expenditures or acquisitions, purchases and sales of investments, as well as issuances and repurchases of debt and of our common shares are within our control and are adjusted as necessary based on market conditions. We discuss our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 below.

 

Operating Activities.  Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $161.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $307.2 million during the corresponding 2015 period. Operating cash flows are our primary source of capital and liquidity. Factors affecting changes in operating cash flows are largely the same as those that impact net earnings, with the exception of non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization, depletion, impairments, 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 $108.3 million and $293.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This decline is primarily due to reduced operating results in the U.S. and Canada drilling segments. Additionally, changes in working capital items such as collection of receivables, other deferred revenue arrangements and payments of operating payables are significant

39


 

Table of Contents

factors affecting operating cash flows. Changes in working capital items provided $53.2 million and $13.5 million in cash during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Investing Activities.  Net cash used for investing activities totaled $128.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to net cash provided of $340.1 million during the corresponding 2015 period. Our 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 three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, we used cash for capital expenditures totaling $129.9 million and $364.2 million, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we received net proceeds related to the Merger of $650.1 million.

 

Financing Activities.  Net cash used for financing activities totaled $87.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $555.5 million during the corresponding 2015 period. This was primarily due to the repurchase of $148.0 million in long-term debt, partially offset by amounts borrowed under our revolving credit facility, net, of $80.0 million.

 

Future Cash Requirements

 

We expect capital expenditures over the next 12 months to be less than $500 million, unless the current oil price environment improves. We can reduce the planned expenditures if necessary or increase them if market conditions and new business opportunities warrant it. Purchase commitments outstanding at March 31, 2016 totaled approximately $141.1 million, 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, upgrades to our offshore rigs and additions to the technology assets that we own and operate. In light of the recent decline in crude oil prices, we have already undertaken many cost cutting initiatives in an effort to minimize the negative impact to our business. We have undertaken efforts to reduce capital expenditures, operating costs and administrative expenses. Since the last downturn in 2009, we have strengthened our financial flexibility by streamlining operations, shedding non-core businesses and reducing net debt and interest expense.

 

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 funded 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.

 

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 material changes to the contractual cash obligations table that was included in our 2015 Annual Report.

 

On August 25, 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “program”) under which we may repurchase, from time to time, up to $400 million of our common shares by various means, including in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. This authorization does not have an expiration date and does not obligate us to repurchase any of our common shares. Through March 31, 2016, we repurchased 10.9 million of our common shares for approximately $101.3 million under this program. As of March 31, 2016, the remaining amount authorized under the program that may be used to purchase shares was $298.7 million.

 

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.

Financial Condition and Sources of Liquidity

 

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and investments, availability under our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program and cash generated from operations. As of March 31, 2016, we had cash and short-term investments of $221.5 million and working capital of $0.4 billion. As of December 31, 2015, we had cash and short-term investments of $274.6 million and working capital of $0.5 billion. At March 31, 2016, we had $2.16 billion of availability remaining under our $2.25 billion revolving credit facility and commercial paper program.

 

We had 11 letter-of-credit facilities with various banks as of March 31, 2016. Availability under these facilities as of March 31, 2016 was as follows:

Our ability to access capital markets or to otherwise obtain sufficient financing is enhanced by our senior unsecured debt ratings as provided by the major credit rating agencies in the United States and our historical ability to access these 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 exchange or purchase of our notes 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 ratings downgrade could adversely impact our ability to access debt markets in the future, increase the cost of future debt, and potentially require us to post letters of credit for certain obligations.

 

Our gross debt to capital ratio was 0.48:1 as of March 31, 2016 and 0.46:1 as of December 31, 2015. Our net debt to capital ratio was 0.46:1 as of March 31, 2016 and 0.44:1 as of December 31, 2015. The gross debt to capital ratio is calculated by dividing (x) total debt by (y) total capital. Total capital is defined as total debt plus shareholders’ equity. Net debt is defined as total debt minus the sum of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Neither the gross debt to capital ratio nor the net debt to capital ratio is a measure of operating performance or liquidity defined by GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

 

Our interest coverage ratio was 5.1:1 as of March 31, 2016 and 6.2:1 as of December 31, 2015. The interest coverage ratio is a trailing 12-month quotient of the sum of (x) adjusted EBITDA divided by (y) 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, revolving credit facility and commercial paper program are expected to adequately finance our purchase commitments, capital expenditures, acquisitions, scheduled debt service requirements, and all other expected cash requirements for the next 12 months.

 

Other Matters

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) relating to consolidation, which eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership. It also modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships are variable interest entities or voting interest entities and adds requirements that limited partnerships must meet to qualify as voting interest entities. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

41


 

Table of Contents

In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU relating to the revenue recognition from contracts with customers that creates a common revenue standard for GAAP and IFRS. The core principle will require recognition of revenue to represent the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration, including costs incurred, to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one year deferral of this standard, with a new effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact this will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In July 2015, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the measurement of inventory by changing the subsequent measurement guidance from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value for inventory. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using the last-in, first-out or the retail inventory method. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In September 2015, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the accounting for measurement-period adjustments in connection with business combinations by requiring that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In January 2016, the FASB issued an ASU relating to the recognition and measurement of financial assets and liabilities. This standard enhances the reporting model for financial instruments, which includes amendments to address aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the transition to the equity method of accounting. This standard eliminates the requirement to retroactively adopt the equity method of accounting as a result of an increase in the level of ownership interest or degree of influence. Instead, the equity method investor should add the cost of acquiring the additional interest in the investee to the current basis of the investor’s previously held interest and adopt the equity method of accounting as of the date the investment qualifies for the equity method of accounting. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this will have on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification on the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this will have on our consolidated financial statements

 

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 us 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:

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We may be exposed to market risks arising from the use of financial instruments in the ordinary course of business as discussed in our 2015 Annual Report.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) 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, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 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 Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2016 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 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. 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. See Note 8 — Commitments and Contingencies.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

In addition to the information set forth elsewhere in this report, the risk factors set forth in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2015 Annual Report should be carefully considered when evaluating us. These risks are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We withheld the following shares of our common stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with grants of stock awards during the three months ended March 31, 2016 from the distributions described below. These shares may be deemed to be “issuer purchases” of shares that are required to be disclosed pursuant to this Item, but were not purchased as part of a publicly announced program to purchase common shares:

(1)

Shares were withheld from employees and directors to satisfy certain tax withholding obligations due in connection with grants of stock under our 2003 Employee Stock Plan and 2013 Stock Plan. The 2013 Stock Plan, 2003 Employee Stock Plan and 1999 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors provide for the withholding of shares to satisfy tax obligations, but do not specify a maximum number of shares that can be withheld for this purpose. These shares were not purchased as part of a publicly announced program to purchase common shares.

 

(2)

In August 2015, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $400 million of our common shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Through March 31, 2016, we repurchased 10.9 million of our common shares for approximately $101.3 million under this program. As of March 31, 2016, we had $298.7 million that remained authorized under the program that may be used to purchase shares.
