Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this annual report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” or “Nabors” mean Nabors Industries Ltd., together with our subsidiaries where the context requires. References in this annual report to “Nabors Delaware” mean Nabors Industries, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nabors.
Overview
Since its founding in 1952, Nabors has grown from a small land drilling business in Canada to one of the world’s largest drilling contractors. Today, Nabors owns and operates one of the world’s largest land-based drilling rig fleets and is a provider of offshore rigs in the United States and numerous international markets. Nabors also provides directional drilling services, tubular running services, performance tools, and innovative technologies for its own rig fleet and those ofoperated by third parties. In today’s performance-driven environment, we believe we are well positioned to seamlessly integrate downhole hardware, surface equipment and software solutions into our AC rig designs. Leveraging our advanced drilling automation capabilities, Nabors’ highly skilled workforce continues to set new standards for operational excellence and transform our industry.
Our business is comprised of our global land-based and offshore drilling rig operations and other rig related services and technologies, consisting oftechnologies. These services include tubular running services, wellbore placement solutions, directional drilling, measurement-while-drilling (“MWD”), logging-while-drilling (“LWD”) systems and services, equipment manufacturing, rig instrumentation and optimization software. We also specialize in wellbore placement solutions and are a leading provider of directional drilling and measurement while drilling (“MWD”) systems and services.
On December 1, 2017, Nabors announced the commencement of operations of Saudi Aramco Nabors Drilling Company (“SANAD”), a 50/50 joint venture between Saudi Arabian Oil Company (“Saudi Aramco”) and Nabors. SANAD owns, manages and operates onshore drilling rigs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
On December 15, 2017, Nabors completed the acquisition of Tesco Corporation (“Tesco”). Tesco’s tubular services business will benefit our new Drilling Solutions segment (see below) as we expand globally into key regions. The acquisition had the additional benefit of combining Tesco’s rig equipment manufacturing, rental and aftermarket service business with our Rig Technologies segment, creating a leading rig equipment and drilling automation provider. Under the terms of the acquisition, Nabors acquired all common shares of Tesco in an all-stock transaction, with Tesco shareholders receiving 0.68 common shares of Nabors for each Tesco share owned, or approximately 32.1 million Nabors common shares.
During the fourth quarter of 2017, we effected a change in the reporting of our segments to better reflect our product offerings and the growing significance of our Nabors’ Drilling Solutions business. The expansion of our tubular

services offering attributable to the acquisition of Tesco during the fourth quarter, along with management’s increasing focus on the strategic aspect of this business and expectation of future growth, culminated in the decision to break this operation out into its own segment called Drilling Solutions. This operation was historically included within our Rig Services segment, which we have renamed Rig Technologies and now primarily reflects the oilfield equipment manufacturing, rental and aftermarket service business of Canrig Drilling Technology (“Canrig”). Our segment information has been revised to conform to the new reportable segments. Our business now consists of five reportable segments: U.S., Drilling, Canada Drilling, International Drilling, Drilling Solutions and Rig Technologies.
AsWith operations in 24 countries, we are a global provider of drilling and drilling-related services for land-based and offshore oil and natural gas wells, ourwith a fleet of rigs and drilling-related equipment which, as of December 31, 2017 includes:2019 included:

Our Business Strategy
Our business strategy is to build shareholder value and enhance our competitive position by:
| achieving superior operational and health, safety and environmental performance; |
| leveraging our existing global infrastructure and operating reputation to capitalize on growth opportunities; |
| continuing to develop our existing portfolio of value-added services to our customers; |
| enhancing our technology position and advancing drilling technology both on the rig and downhole; and |
| achieving financial returns |
During 2017the past several years we achieved several milestoneshave transformed our fleet in our drive to automate and integrate the well construction process. As the industry continues its recovery from the severe downturn that began in 2014,Lower 48 into what we believe the investments we have made in our rigs and related technology and equipment are all paying off.

Our customer base recognizes the quality of our assets, the competency of our crews, our industry leading operational performance and safe wells tothe value added by our clients’ specifications, engineered for highly complexperformance software and demanding geology.our services integration.
Our global fleet of 444 rigs is the fundamental platform for our business. We entered 2018 having nearly completed our goal of 100 Nabors SmartRig™ units for the U.S. Lower 48. Our new PACE®-M1000-M750 rig was introduced in early 2018, as a significant, and capital efficient, retrofit to the secondexisting PACE®-M550. We deployed seven of our PACE®-M750 rigs and two remaining upgraded F-rigs during the first half of 2017, building2019. As of December 31, 2019, we had approximately 80% utilization on the PACE®-M800’s capabilities to deliver optimal well construction for ultra-long laterals with minimal time spent mobilizing between well pads. Additionally, our enhanced PACE®-X Quad design began operations for two different major customers in 2017. This innovative mast structure handles four stands of drill

During 2017, we also made significant progress in expandingWe believe our drilling technology portfolio. We believe these actions positionportfolio positions us well to address the changing market dynamic both in the United States and internationally. Our technological development efforts drive toward a seamless integration of the rig’s operations with downhole sensing. In addition,Additionally, we are addinghave added complementary services to our traditional rig offering, and in many cases replacing third-party providers of these complementary services as a single service provider. We successfully built scale across wellbore placement, performance drilling tools, managed pressure drilling services,As such, we have achieved growth within our U.S. Drilling and other services in the Lower 48, and are now bringing these services to certain international markets. These efforts support our strategy to differentiate our drilling services, and ultimately reduce our customers’ unit costs through advanced drilling technology and value added enhancements.
The acquisition of Tesco augmented both our drilling technology offering through enhanced tubular services, as well as our rig equipment portfolio. We believe the addition of the many skilled operating and manufacturing personnel to our team combined with our global rig platform will bolster our capabilities in 2018. We also took a major step forward toward our vision of a fully automated rig with the acquisition of Robotic Drilling Systems in September 2017. This exciting modular technology is applicable both in onshore and offshore markets, and provides additional opportunities to further develop Canrig’s global scale and customer base.
As oil prices improved in the second half of 2017, a healthier exploration and production industry has expanded its activity. We are well positioned to offer greater value than ever before.

Drilling Contracts
Our drilling contracts are typically daywork contracts. A daywork contract generally provides for a basic rate per day when drilling (the dayrate for providing a rig and crew) and for lower rates when the rig is moving between drilling locations, or when drilling operations are interrupted or restricted by equipment breakdowns, adverse weather conditions or other conditions beyond our control. In addition, daywork contracts may provide for a lump-sum fee for the mobilization and demobilization of the rig, which in most cases approximates our anticipated costs. A daywork contract differs from a footage contract (in which the drilling contractor is paid on the basis of a rate per foot drilled) and a turnkey contract (in which the drilling contractor is paid for drilling a well to a specified depth for a fixed price). We also offer performance enhancing drilling services, performance software and equipment such as managed pressure services, directional drilling, rotary steering systems and measurement while drilling. These additional products and services are additive to our rig charges.
Our contracts for land-based and offshore drilling have durations that are single-well, multi-well or term. Term contracts generally have durations ranging from six months to five years. Under term contracts, our rigs are committed to one customer. Offshore workover projects are often contracted on a single-well basis. We generally receive drilling contracts through competitive bidding, although we occasionally enter into contracts by direct negotiation. Most of our single-well contracts are subject to termination by the customer on short notice, while multi-well contracts and term contracts may provide us with early termination compensation in certain circumstances. Such payments may not fully compensate us for the loss of a contract, and in certain circumstances the customer may not be obligated, able or willing to make an early termination payment to us. Contract terms and rates differ depending on a variety of factors, including competitive conditions, the geographical area, the geological formation to be drilled, the equipment and services to be supplied, the on-site drilling conditions and the anticipated duration of the work to be performed.
Our Customers
Our customers include major international, national and independent oil and gas companies. One customer, Saudi Aramco, accounted for approximately 29%22%, 33%24% and 12%29% of our consolidated operating revenues during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which operating revenues are primarily included in the results of our International drillingDrilling reportable segment. The increase in 2016 compared to 2015 was primarily as a result of our acquisition of the remaining interest in Nabors Arabia Company Limited (“Nabors Arabia”), our prior joint venture in Saudi Arabia, in May 2015 and our consolidation of Nabors Arabia’s results of operations. Nabors Arabia was historically a joint venture in the Kingdom, but now is wholly-owned by Nabors. Our contracts with Saudi Aramco are on a per rig basis. As noted above, we have entered into a newThese contracts are primarily operated through SANAD, our joint venture with this customer.Saudi Aramco. See Part I, Item 1A.—Risk Factors—The loss of one or a number of our large customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our Employees
As of December 31, 2017,2019, we employed approximately 15,00014,000 people in approximately 2024 countries. Our number of employees fluctuates depending on the current and expected demand for our services. Some rig-based employees in Alaska, Argentina, Mexico and Venezuela are represented by collective bargaining units. We believe our relationship with our employees is generally good.
Seasonality
Our operations are subject to seasonal factors. Specifically, our drilling operations in Canada and Alaska generally experience reduced levels of activity and financial results during the second quarter of each year, due to the annual spring thaw. In addition, our U.S. offshore market can be impacted during summer months by tropical weather systems in the Gulf of Mexico. Global climate change could lengthen these periods of reduced activity, but we cannot currently estimate to what degree. Our overall financial results reflect the seasonal variations experienced in these operations, but seasonality does not materially impact the remaining portions of our business.
Research and Engineering
Research and engineering continues to be an important part of our overall business. During 2017, we spent approximately $51.1 million on research and engineering activities compared to $33.6 million during 2016. The effective use of technology is critical to maintaining our competitive position within the drilling industry. We expect to continue developing technology internally and/or acquiring technology through strategic acquisitions.
Industry/Competitive Conditions
To a large degree, our businesses depend on the level of capital spending by oil and gas companies for exploration, development and production activities. The level of exploration, development and production activities is to a large extent tied to the prices of oil and natural gas, which can fluctuate significantly and are highly volatile. For example, oil prices were as high as $107 per barrel during 2014 and were as low as $26 per barrel in 2016. Oil prices began to stabilize during 2017 to moderate levels at an average of approximately $54 per barrel, still well below the peak we experienced three years ago and the average price over the last decade. As experienced in 2015 and 2016, aA decrease or prolonged decline in the price of oil or natural gas or in the exploration, development and production activities of our customers could result in a corresponding decline in the demand for our services and/or a reduction in
8
dayrates and utilization, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. See Part I, Item 1A.—Risk Factors— Fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices could adversely affect drilling activity and our revenues, cash flows and profitability,and—Our drilling contracts may in certain instances be renegotiated, suspended or terminated without an early termination payment and Item 7.— Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The markets in which we provide our services are highly competitive. We believe that competitive pricing is a significant factor in determining which service provider is awarded a job in these markets and customers are increasingly sensitive to pricing during periods of market instability. Historically, the number of available rigs and drilling-related equipment has exceeded demand in many of the markets in which we operate, resulting in strong price competition. This is due in part to the fact that most rigs and drilling-related equipment can be readily moved from one region to another in response to changes in the levels of exploration, development and production activities and market conditions, which may result in an oversupply of rigs and drilling-related equipment in certain areas.
Although many rigs can be readily moved from one region to another in response to changes in levels of activity and many of the total available contracts are currently awarded on a bid basis, competition has increased based on the supply of existing and new rigs across all of our markets. Most available contracts for our services are currently awarded on a bid basis, which further increases competition based on price.
In addition to price, other competitive factors in the markets we serve are the overall quality of service and safety record, the technical specification and condition of equipment, the availability of skilled personnel and the ability to offer ancillary services. Our drilling business is subject to certain additional competitive factors. For example, we believe our ability to deliver rigs with new technology and features and, in certain international markets, our experience operating in certain environments and strong customer relationships have been significant factors in the selection of
9
Nabors for the provision of drilling services. We expect that the market for our drilling services will continue to be highly competitive. See Part I, Item 1A.—Risk Factors—We operate in a highly competitive industry with excess drilling capacity, which may adversely affect our results of operations.
The global market for drilling and related products and services is competitive. Certain competitors are present in more than one of the markets in which we operate, although no one competitor operates in all such markets. We competeOur strategy combines advanced drilling rig designs – complete with (1)integrated downhole tools, surface equipment, and software – with operational performance, industry-leading safety, and an innovative technology roadmap.
Significant competitors in our U.S. Drilling segment include: Helmerich & Payne Inc., Patterson-UTI Energy Inc., Precision Drilling Corp., and several otherEnsign Energy Services Inc. In the U.S. Lower 48 land drilling market, we also compete with numerous smaller or regional drilling contractors. In our International segment, significant competitors with national,operations in multiple countries include KCA Deutag, Saipem S.p.A, as well as many contractors with regional or local rig operations in the United States, (2) Saipem S.p.A, KCA Deutag,operations.
Our Rig Technologies segment competes primarily with National Oilwell Varco Inc., Bentec, and several smaller rig equipment suppliers. Our Drilling Solutions segment competes with services provided by Baker Hughes Co., Halliburton Co., Schlumberger Ltd., Frank’s International NV, Weatherford International Ltd.PLC., as well as several of our drilling competitors and various contractors in our international markets and (3) Precision Drilling, Ensign Energy Services, and others in Canada.smaller, specialized service providers.
Acquisitions and Divestitures
We have grown from a land drilling business centered in the U.S. lowerLower 48, states, Canada and Alaska to an international business with operations on land and offshore in most of the major oil and gas markets in the world. At the beginning of 1990, our fleet consisted of 44 actively marketed land drilling rigs in Canada, Alaska and in various international markets. Today, our worldwide fleet of actively marketed rigs consists of 407 land drilling rigs, 31 offshore platform rigs and seven jackup units. This growth was fueled in part by strategic acquisitions. While we continuously consider and review strategic opportunities, including acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, alliances and other strategic transactions, there can be no assurance that such opportunities will continue to be available, that the pricing will be economical or that we will be successful in completing and realizing the expected benefits of such transactions in the future.
We may sell a subsidiary or group of assets outside of our core markets or business if it is strategically or economically advantageous for us to do so.
On March 24, 2015, we completed 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”). 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. On July 20, 2016, CJES and certain of its subsidiaries commenced voluntarily cases under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and as a result, we no longer hold a meaningful stake in CJES. For more information on the accounting for our investment in CJES, see Note 9—Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates in Part II, Item 8.—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
In addition, we We undertook the following strategic transactions over the last three years.
In May 2015, we paid $106.0 million in cash to acquire the remaining 49% equity interest in Nabors Arabia, our prior joint venture in Saudi Arabia, making it a wholly owned subsidiary. Previously, we held a 51% equity interest with a carrying value9
We have also consolidated the operating results of Nabors Arabia since the acquisition date and reported those results in our International drilling segment.
During 2016, we entered into an agreement with Saudi Aramco, to form a new joint venture, SANAD, to own, manage and operate onshore drilling rigs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The joint venture,SANAD, which is equally owned by Saudi Aramco and Nabors, commencedbegan operations in the fourth quarter of 2017. The joint venture leverages our established business in Saudi Arabia, to begin operations, with a focus on Saudi Arabia's existing and future onshore oil and gas fields.
In September 2017 we paid an initial amount of approximately $50.7 million in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments, to acquire Robotic Drilling Systems AS (“RDS”), a provider of automated tubular and tool handling equipment for the onshore and offshore drilling markets based in Stavanger, Norway. This transaction will allow us to integrate RDS’s highly capable team and product offering with the technology portfolio of Canrig, and strengthens the development of Canrig’s drilling automation solutions.
10
In December 2017, we acquired all of the outstanding common shares of Tesco in an all-stock transaction. Tesco shareholders received 0.68 common shares of Nabors for each Tesco share owned, or approximately 32.1 million Nabors common shares. Tesco was a provider of products such as top drives and automated pipe handling equipment as well as tubular services to upstream companies. The combination of Tesco with Nabors’ current product offerings strengthens our ability to accelerate and scale deployment in drilling automation and analytics.
In October 2018, we purchased PetroMar Technologies, a small developer and operator of LWD downhole tools focusing on high-value formation data to facilitate completion optimization particularly in unconventional reservoirs. The tools complement our existing wellbore placement capabilities and are included in our Drilling Solutions operating segment. Under the terms of the transaction, we paid an initial purchase price of $25.0 million. We may also be required to make future payments that are contingent upon the future financial performance of this operation.
Environmental Compliance
Sustainability is an essential part of the corporate culture at Nabors and an integral part of our strategic plans. We know that our success is directly linked to implementing and executing a broad range of sustainable practices. Through technological innovation, environmental impact planning, corporate safety initiatives and community relations activities, Nabors understands that how we conduct business is of equal importance to our results. Corporate responsibility guides every aspect of our daily activities and is the key to our continued success.
We do not anticipate that compliance with currently applicable environmental rules and regulations and controls will significantly change our competitive position, capital spending or earnings during 2018.2020. We believe we are in material compliance with applicable environmental rules and regulations and that the cost of such compliance is not material to our business or financial condition. For a more detailed description of the environmental rules and regulations applicable to our operations, see Part I, Item 1A.—Risk Factors—Changes to or noncompliance with governmental laws and regulations or exposure to environmental liabilities could adversely affect our results of operations.
In addition to the other information set forth elsewhere in this annual report, the following factors should be carefully considered when evaluating Nabors. The risks described below 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 operations.
Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks.
Fluctuations in oil and natural gas prices could adversely affect drilling activity and our revenues, cash flows and profitability.
Our operations depend on the level of spending by oil and gas companies for exploration, development and production activities. Both short-term and long-term trends in oil and natural gas prices affect these activity levels. Oil and natural gas prices, as well as the level of drilling, exploration and production activity, can behave been highly volatile. For example, oil prices were as high as $107 per barrel during 2014 and were as low as $26 per barrel in February 2016. During 2017, oil prices began to stabilize to moderate levels at an average of approximately $54 per barrel, still well below the peak we experienced three years ago and the average pricevolatile over the last decade. The decreasepast few years and are expected to continue to be volatile for the foreseeable future. Declines in oil prices wasare primarily caused by, among other things, an oversupplyexcess of supply of crude oil and stagnantin relation to demand. Worldwide military, political and economic events, including initiatives by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”) and
10
OPEC+, affect both the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas. In addition, weather conditions, governmental regulation (both in the United States and elsewhere), levels of consumer demand for oil and natural gas, general economic conditions, oil and gas production levels by non-OPEC countries, decisions by more expensive production sources to continue producing oil and gas despite excess supply, the availability and demand for drilling equipment and pipeline capacity, availability and pricing of alternative energy sources, and other factors beyond our control may also affect the supply of and demand for oil and natural gas.
As a result of the low oil price environment that began at the end of 2014, drilling, exploration and production activity declined in 2015 and remained low throughout 2016, resulting in a corresponding decline in the demand for our drilling services and/or a reduction in our dayrates and rig utilization. Although oil prices rebounded somewhat in 2017, they remain relatively low when compared to prices earlier in the decade and the level of drilling, exploration and production activities remains lower than prior to 2014. The continuation of relatively lower oil and natural gas prices, or a decline in such prices, could have an adverse effect on our revenues, cash flows, liquidity and profitability.
Lower oil and natural gas prices also could adversely impact our cash forecast models used to determine whether the carrying values of our long-lived assets exceed our future cash flows, which could result in future impairment to our long-lived assets. Additionally, these circumstances could indicate that the carrying amount of our goodwill and intangible assets may exceed their fair value, which could result in a future goodwill impairment. Lower oil and natural gas prices also could affect our ability to retain skilled rig personnel and affect our ability to access capital to finance and grow our business. There can be no assurances as to the future level of demand for our services or future conditions in the oil and natural gas and oilfield services industries.
11
Our customers and thereby our business and profitability could be adversely affected by low oil prices and/or turmoil in the global economy.
Changes in general economic and political conditions may negatively impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As a result of the volatility of oil and natural gas prices, we are unable to fully predict the level of exploration, drilling and production activities of our customers and whether our customers and/or vendors will be able to sustain their operations and fulfill their commitments and obligations. If oil prices remain at the current relatively low levels or decrease and/or global economic conditions deteriorate, there could be a material adverse impact on the liquidity and operations of our customers, vendors and other worldwide business partners, which in turn could have a material impact on our results of operations and liquidity. Furthermore, these conditions may result in certain of our customers experiencing an inability to pay vendors, including us. In addition, we may experience difficulties forecasting future capital expenditures by our customers, which in turn could lead to either over capacity or, in the event of further recovery in oil prices and the world wide economy, undercapacity, either of which could adversely affect our operations. There can be no assurance that the global economic environment will not deteriorate again in the future due to one or more factors.
We operate in a highly competitive industry with excess drilling capacity, which may adversely affect our results of operations.
The oilfield services industry is very competitive.competitive with a significant amount of excess capacity, especially in low oil price environments. Contract drilling companies compete primarily on a regional basis, and competition may vary significantly from region to region at any particular time. Most rigs and drilling-related equipment can be moved from one region to another in response to changes in levels of activity and market conditions, which may result in an oversupply of such rigs and drilling-related equipment in certain areas, and accordingly, increased price competition. In addition, in recent years, the ability to deliver rigs with new technology and features has become an important factor in determining job awards. Our customers increasingly demand the services of newer, higher specification drilling rigs, which requires continued technological developments and increased capital expenditures. Our ability to continually provide technologically competitive drilling-related equipment and services can impact our ability to defend, maintain or increase prices, maintain market share, and negotiate acceptable contract terms with our customers. Our competitors may be able to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and services and changes in customer requirements for equipment. New technologies, services or standards could render some of our services, drilling rigs or equipment obsolete, which could adversely impact our ability to compete. Another key factor in job award determinations is our ability to maintain a strong safety record. If we are unable to remain competitive based on these and/or other competitive factors, we may be unable to increase or even maintain our market share, utilization rates and/or day rates for our services, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We must renew customer contracts to remain competitive.
Our ability to renew existing customer contracts, or obtain new contracts, and the terms of any such contracts depends on market conditions and our customers’ future drilling plans, which are subject to change. Due to the highly competitive nature of the industry, which can be exacerbated during periods of depressed market conditions, we may not be able to renew or replace expiring contracts or, if we are able to, we may not be able to secure or improve existing
11
dayrates or other material terms, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The nature of our operations presents inherent risks of loss, including environmental and weather-related risks, that could adversely affect our results of operations.
Our operations are subject to many hazards inherent in the drilling and workover industries, including environmental pollution, blowouts, cratering, explosions, fires, loss of well control, loss of or damage to the wellbore or underground reservoir, damaged or lost drilling equipment and damage or loss from inclement weather or natural disasters. Any of these hazards could result in personal injury or death, damage to or destruction of equipment and facilities, suspension of operations, environmental and natural resources damage and damage to the property of others. Global climate change could lengthen these periods of reduced activity, but we cannot currently estimate to what degree. Our offshore operations involve the additional hazards of marine operations including pollution of coastal waters, damage to wildlife and natural habitats, capsizing, grounding, collision, damage from hurricanes and heavy weather or sea conditions and unsound ocean bottom conditions. Our operations are also subject to risks of war, civil disturbances or other political events.
12
Accidents may occur, we may be unable to obtain desired contractual indemnities, and our insurance may prove inadequate in certain cases. The occurrence of an event for which we are not fully insured or indemnified against, or the failure or inability of a customer or insurer to meet its indemnification or insurance obligations, could result in substantial losses that could adversely affect our business, financial condition and liquidity. In addition, insurance may not be available to cover any or all of these risks. Even if available, insurance may be inadequate or insurance premiums or other costs may increase significantly in the future, making insurance prohibitively expensive. We expect to continue facing upward pressure in our insurance renewals, our premiums and deductibles may be higher, and some insurance coverage may either be unavailable or more expensive than it has been in the past. Moreover, our insurance coverage generally provides that we assume a portion of the risk in the form of a deductible or self-insured retention. We may choose to increase the levels of deductibles (and thus assume a greater degree of risk) from time to time in order to minimize our overall costs, which could exacerbate the impact of our losses on our financial condition and liquidity.
Our drilling contracts may in certain instances be renegotiated, suspended or terminated without an early termination payment.
Most of our multi-well and term drilling contracts require that an early termination payment be made to us if a contract is terminated by the customer prior to its expiration. However, such payments may not fully compensate us for the loss of a contract, and in certain circumstances such as, but not limited to, non-performance caused by significant operational or equipment issues (such as destruction of a drilling rig that is not replaced within a specified period of time), sustained periods of downtime due to a force majeure event, or other events beyond our control or some other breach of our contractual obligations, our customers may not be obligated to make an early termination payment to us at all. In addition, some contracts may be suspended, rather than terminated early, for an extended period of time, in some cases without adequate compensation. The early termination or suspension of a contract may result in a rig being idle for an extended period of time, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
During periods of depressed market conditions, we may be subject to an increased risk of our customers (including government-controlled entities) seeking to renegotiate, repudiate or terminate their contracts and/or to otherwise exert commercial influence to our disadvantage. The downturn in the oil price environment resulted in downward pricing pressure and decreased demand for our drilling services with existing customers, resulting in renegotiations of pricing and other terms in our drilling contracts with certain customers and early termination of contracts by others. Our customers’ ability to perform their obligations under the contracts, including their ability to pay us or fulfill their indemnity obligations, may also be impacted by an economic or industry downturn or other adverse conditions in the oil and gas industry. If we were to sustain a loss and our customers were unable to honor their indemnification and/or payment obligations, it could adversely affect our liquidity. If our customers cancel some of our contracts, and we are unable to secure new contracts on a timely basis and/or on substantially similar terms, or if contracts are suspended for an extended period of time with or without adequate compensation or renegotiated with pricing or other terms less favorable to us, it could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
12
We may record additional losses or impairment charges related to sold or idle rigs.drilling rigs and other assets.
In 20172019, 2018 and 2016,2017, we recognized impairment charges of $6.9$290.5 million, $124.9 million and $245.2$6.9 million, respectively, related to tangible assets and equipment. Prolonged periods of low utilization or low dayrates, the cold stacking of idle assets, the sale of assets below their then carrying value or the decline in market value of our assets may cause us to experience further losses. If future cash flow estimates, based upon information available to management at the time, including oil and gas prices and expected utilization levels, indicate that the carrying value of any of our rigs may not be recoverable or if we sell assets for less than their then carrying value, we may recognize additional impairment charges on our fleet.
The loss of one or a number of our large customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In 20172019, 2018 and 2016,2017, we received approximately 45%41%, 41% and 46%45%, respectively, of our consolidated operating revenues from our three largest contract drilling customers (including their affiliates), with our largest customer and partner in our SANAD joint venture, Saudi Aramco, representing 29%22%, 24% and 33%29% of our consolidated operating revenues, respectively, for these periods. The loss of one or more of our larger customers would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, if a significant customer experiences liquidity constraints or other financial difficulties it may be unable to make required payments or seek to renegotiate
13
contracts, which could adversely affect our liquidity and profitability. Financial difficulties experienced by customers could also adversely affect our utilization rates in the affected market.market and may cause our counterparties to seek modifications to our contracts with them.
The profitability of our operations could be adversely affected by war, civil disturbance, terrorist activity or other political or economic instability, fluctuation in currency exchange rates and local import and export controls.
We derive a significant portion of our business from global markets, including major operations in the Middle East, Canada, South America, Algeria, the Far East, North Africa and Russia. These operations are subject to various risks, including war, civil disturbances, labor strikes, political or economic instability, terrorist activity and governmental actions that may limit or disrupt markets, restrict the movement of funds or result in limits or restrictions in our ability to operate or compete, the deprivation of contractual rights or the taking of property without fair compensation. In some countries, our operations may be subject to the additional risk of fluctuating currency values and exchange controls. We also are subject to various laws and regulations that govern the operation and taxation of our business and the import and export of our equipment from country to country, the imposition, application and interpretation of which can prove to be uncertain.
For example, we are exposed to risks related to political instability in Venezuela. On January 28, 2019, the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control designated Petroleos de Venezuela S.A. (“PdVSA”) as a Specially Designated National under Executive Order 13850 (the “Order”). The Order prohibited, among other things, business dealings with PdVSA or any entity in which PdVSA owns, directly or indirectly, a 50 percent or greater interest. Currently, Nabors operates one rig in Venezuela, under contracts with Chevron and a joint venture that is majority-owned by PdVSA, Petropiar. The political uncertainty and civil unrest in Venezuela could have a significant impact on our operations there, including the risk that one or more of our rigs could be nationalized by the government or that we will not be paid for our services. Nabors continues to evaluate the potential impact of these developments on its business and operations in Venezuela.
To the extent that any of these risks arising from our operations in global markets are realized, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our financial and operating flexibility could be affected by our long-term debt and other financial commitments.
The 2012 Revolving Credit Facility requires us to maintain a net funded debt to capital ratio of 0.60:1 or less. The net funded debt to capital ratio is calculated by dividing net funded debt by net capital. For purposes of the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, net funded debt is total debt minus the sum of cash and cash equivalents (other than restricted cash). Net capital is the sum of net funded debt plus shareholders’ equity. As of December 31, 2019, our net funded debt to capital ratio was approximately 0.59:1.
13
The 2018 Revolving Credit Facility requires us to maintain a net leverage ratio 5.50:1 or less and an asset to debt coverage ratio of at least 2.50:1, as of the end of each calendar quarter. As of December 31, 2019, the net leverage ratio was 3.55:1 and the asset to debt coverage ratio was 4.28:1. The net leverage ratio is calculated by dividing net funded debt by EBITDA (as defined in the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility) of Nabors and its subsidiaries for the latest four consecutive fiscal quarters for which financial statements are required to have been delivered pursuant to the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. The asset to debt coverage ratio is calculated by dividing (x) drilling-related fixed assets wholly owned by certain of Nabors’ subsidiaries that are guaranteeing the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility (the ‘‘2018 Revolver Guarantors’’) or wholly owned subsidiaries of the 2018 Revolver Guarantors by (y) the commitments under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility and certain other indebtedness up to $100 million. The asset to debt coverage ratio applies only during the period which Nabors Delaware fails to maintain an investment grade rating from at least two rating agencies, which was the case as of the date of this report.
The net funded debt to capital ratio, the net leverage ratio and the asset to debt coverage ratio are not measures of operating performance or liquidity defined by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. The net funded debt to capital ratio is a method for calculating the amount of leverage a company has in relation to its capital.
As of December 31, 2017, we had approximately $4.0 billion in outstanding debt and the ability to borrow up to $1.7 billion under2019, our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program, subject to compliance with the conditions and covenants of that facility including the facility’s requirement that our net debt to capital ratio not exceed 0.60:1. As of December 31, 2017, our net debt to capital ratio was 0.56:1. On January 16, 2018, we consummated an offering of $800 million in aggregate principal amount of Nabors Delaware’s 5.75% senior notes due 2025. The proceeds from this offering were used to repay indebtedness of Nabors and its subsidiaries, including all of Nabors Delaware’s outstanding 6.15% senior notes due February 2018. After giving effect to this offering, ourconsolidated total outstanding debtindebtedness was approximately $4.0$3.3 billion. We also have various financial commitments, such as leases, firm transportation and processing, contracts and purchase commitments. Our ability to service our debt and other financial obligations depends in large part upon the level of cash flows generated by our operating subsidiaries’ operations, our ability to monetize and/or divest non-core assets, availability under our unsecured revolving credit facilityfacilities and our ability to access the capital markets and/or other sources of financing. If we cannot repay or refinance our debt as it becomes due, we may be forced to sell assets or reduce funding in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes.purposes, any of which could negatively impact our stock price or financial condition.
Our ability to access capital markets could be limited.
From time to time, we may need to access capital markets to obtain long-term and short-term financing. However, our ability to access capital markets could be limited or adversely affected by, among other things, oil and gas prices, our existing capital structure, our credit ratings, interest rates and the health or market perceptions of the drilling and overall oil and gas industry and the global economy. In addition, many of the factors that affect our ability to access capital markets, such as the liquidity of the overall capital markets and the state of the economy and oil and gas industry, are outside of our control. No assurance can be given that we will be able to access capital markets on terms acceptable to us when required to do so, which could adversely affect our business, liquidity and results of operations.
A downgrade in our credit rating could negatively impact our cost of and ability to access capital markets or other financing sources.
Our ability to access capital markets or to otherwise obtain sufficient financing may be affected by our senior unsecured debt ratings as provided by the major U.S. credit rating agencies. Factors that may impact our credit ratings include debt levels, asset purchases or sales, as well as near-term and long-term growth opportunities and industry conditions. Liquidity, asset quality, cost structure, market diversity, and commodity pricing levels and others also are considered by the rating agencies. The major U.S. credit rating agencies have downgraded ourOur senior unsecured debt rating tohas a non-investment grade. These and furthergrade rating. Further ratings downgrades may impact our cost of capital and ability to access capital markets or other financing sources, any of which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Changes in the method of determining London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), or the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative reference rate, may adversely affect interest expense related to outstanding debt.
Amounts drawn under the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest rates in relation to LIBOR. On July 27, 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) in the United Kingdom announced that it would phase out LIBOR as a benchmark by the end of 2021. It is unclear whether new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established such that it continues to exist after 2021. The U.S. Federal Reserve is considering replacing U.S. dollar LIBOR with a newly created index called the Broad Treasury Financing Rate, calculated with a broad set of short-term repurchase agreements backed by treasury securities. If LIBOR ceases to exist and a generally accepted market replacement is not available, we may need to renegotiate the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility or the 2018
14
Revolving Credit Facility and may not able to do so with terms that are favorable to us. The overall financial markets may be disrupted as a result of the phase-out or replacement of LIBOR. Disruption in the financial market or the inability to renegotiate the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility or the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility with favorable terms could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We may be subject to changes in tax laws and have additional tax liabilities.
We operate through various subsidiaries in numerous countries throughout the world. Consequently, we are subject to changes in tax laws, treaties or regulations or the interpretation or enforcement thereof in the United States or jurisdictions in which we or any of our subsidiaries operate or are organized. Furthermore, the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (‘‘OECD’’) published a Base Erosion and Profit Shifting Action Plan in July 2013, seeking to reform the taxation of multinational companies. The recommendations made by the OECD may result in unilateral, uncoordinated changes in tax laws in the countries in which we operate or are organized, which may result in double taxation or otherwise increase our tax liabilities which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The recently enacted Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Reform Act”) (H.R. 1), adopted sweeping changes to the U.S. Internal Revenue Code which also could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition to lowering the U.S. corporate income tax rate and numerous other changes, the new law imposes more stringent limitations on the deductibility of interest expense, the deductibility of net operating losses and imposes a type of minimum tax designed to reduce the benefits derived from intercompany transactions and payments that result in base erosion. Tax laws, treaties and regulations are highly complex and subject to interpretation. Our income tax expense is based upon our interpretation of the tax laws in effect in various countries at the time that the expense was incurred. IfAlthough the Tax Reform Act has not had a material impact on our financial statements to date, if these tax laws, treaties or regulations change or any tax authority successfully challenges our assessment of the effects of such laws, treaties and regulations in any country, including our operational structure, intercompany pricing policies or the taxable presence of our subsidiaries in certain countries, this could have a material adverse effect on us, resulting in a higher effective tax rate on our consolidated earnings or a reclassification of the tax impact of our significant corporate restructuring transactions.
The Company’s ability to use its net operating loss carryforwards, and possibly other tax attributes, to offset future taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes may be significantly limited due to various circumstances, including future transactions involving the sale or issuance of Company equity securities, or if taxable income does not reach sufficient levels.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company reported consolidated federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $418.3 million and certain other favorable federal income tax attributes. The Company’s ability to use its NOL carryforwards and certain other attributes may be limited if it experiences an “ownership change” as defined in Section 382 (“Section 382”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). An ownership change generally occurs if there is a more than 50 percentage point increase in the aggregate equity ownership of the Company by one or more “5 percent shareholders” (as that term is defined for purposes of Sections 382 and 383 of the Code) in any testing period, which is generally the three-year period preceding any potential ownership change, measured against their lowest percentage ownership at any time during such period.
There is no assurance that the Company will not experience an ownership change under Section 382 as a result of future actions that may significantly limit or possibly eliminate its ability to use its NOL carryforwards and potentially certain other tax attributes. Potential future transactions involving the sale, issuance, redemption or other disposition of common or preferred shares, the exercise of conversion or exchange options under the terms of any convertible or exchangeable debt, the repurchase of any such debt with Company shares, in each case, by a person owning, or treated as owning, 5% or more of the Company’s shares, or a combination of such transactions, may cause or increase the possibility that the Company will experience an ownership change under Section 382. Under Section 382, an ownership change would subject the Company to an annual limitation that applies to the amount of pre-ownership change NOLs (and possibly certain other tax attributes) that may be used to offset post-ownership change taxable income. If a Section 382 limitation applies, the limitation could cause the Company’s U.S. federal income taxes to be greater, or to be paid earlier, than they otherwise would be, and could cause all or a portion of the Company’s NOL carryforwards to expire unused. Similar rules and limitations may apply for state income tax purposes. The Company’s ability to use its NOL carryforwards will also depend on the amount of taxable income it generates in future periods. The Company’s NOL carryforwards may expire before it can generate sufficient taxable income to use them in full.

Changes to or noncompliance with governmental laws and regulations or exposure to environmental liabilities could adversely affect our results of operations.
Drilling of oil and natural gas wells is subject to various laws and regulations in the jurisdictions where we operate, including comprehensive and frequently changing laws and regulations relating to the protection of human health and the environment, including those regulating the transport, storage, use, treatment, storage, disposal and remediation of, and exposure to, solid and hazardous wastes and materials. In addition, the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act provides the federal government with broad discretion in regulating the leasing of offshore oil and gas production sites. Our costs to comply with these laws and regulations may be substantial. Violation of environmental laws or regulations could lead to the imposition of administrative, civil or criminal penalties, capital expenditures, delays in the permitting or performance of projects, and in some cases injunctive relief. Violations may also result in liabilities for personal injuries, property and natural resource damage and other costs and claims. We are not always successful in allocating all risks of these environmental liabilities to customers, and it is possible that customers who assume the risks will be financially unable to bear any resulting costs.
In addition, U.S. federal laws and the laws of other jurisdictions regulate the prevention of oil spills and the release of hazardous substances, and may impose liability for removal costs and natural resource, real or personal property and certain economic damages arising from any spills. Some of these laws may impose strict and/or joint and several liability for clean-up costs and damages without regard to the conduct of the parties. As an owner and operator of onshore and offshore rigs and other equipment, we may be deemed to be a responsible party under federal law. In addition, we are subject to various laws governing the containment and disposal of hazardous substances, oilfield waste and other waste materials and the use of underground storage tanks.
The expansion of the scope of laws or regulations protecting the environment has accelerated in recent years, particularly outside the United States, and we expect this trend to continue. For example, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (‘‘EPA’’) has promulgated final rules requiring the reporting of greenhouse gas emissions applicable to certain offshore oil and natural gas production and onshore oil and natural gas production, processing, transmission, storage and distribution facilities. In June 2016, the EPA published final standards to reduce methane emissions for certain new, modified, or reconstructed facilities in the oil and gas industry but, in June 2017, the EPA published a proposed rule that would stay certain portions of the June 2016 standards for two years and reconsider the entirety of the June 2016 standards. On August 10, 2017,The requirements of the D.C. Circuit rejectedJune 2016 standards currently remain in effect, pending the EPA taking final action on its proposed two-year stay, which will likely be promptly challenged. In October 2018, the EPA issued a requestproposed rule that would reconsider limits on methane emissions set by the American Petroleum Institute, an intervenor in the case, to reconsider the court’s July 3, 2017 decision to vacate the 90-day stay.June 2016 standards and reduce inspection and repair requirements.
15
Changes in environmental laws and regulations may also negatively impact the operations of oil and natural gas exploration and production companies, which in turn could have an adverse effect on us. For example, drilling, fluids, produced water and most of the other wastes associated with the exploration, development and production of oil or gas, if properly handled, are currently exempt from regulation as hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (‘‘RCRA’’) and instead, are regulated under RCRA’s less stringent non-hazardous waste provisions. However, following the filing of a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in May 2016 by several non-governmental environmental groups against the EPA for the agency’s failure to timely assess its RCRA Subtitle D criteria regulations for oil and gas wastes, Thethe EPA and the environmental groups entered into an agreement that was finalized in a Consent Decree issued by the District Court on December 28, 2016. Under the Consent Decree, the EPA is required to propose no later than March 15, 2019, a rulemaking for revision of certain Subtitle D criteria regulations pertaining to oil and gas wastes or sign a determination that revision of the regulations is not necessary. If the EPA proposes a rulemaking for revised oil and gas waste regulations, the Consent Decree requires that the EPA take final action following notice and comment rulemaking no later than July 15, 2021. Any reclassification of such wastes as RCRA hazardous wastes could result in more stringent and costly handling, disposal and clean-up requirements.
Legislators and regulators in the United States and other jurisdictions where we operate also focus increasingly on restricting the emission of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases that may contribute to warming of the Earth’s atmosphere, and other climate changes. The U.S. Congress has considered, but not adopted, legislation designed to reduce emission of greenhouse gases, and some states in which we operate have passed legislation or adopted initiatives, such as the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative in the northeasternNortheastern United States, which establishes greenhouse gas inventories and/or cap-and-trade programs. Some international initiatives have been or may be adopted, which could result in increased costs of operations in covered jurisdictions. In December 2015, the United States joined the international community in the 21st ConferenceNations
16
Framework Convention on Climate Change in Paris, France that preparedfinalized an agreement, referred to as the “Paris Agreement’, requiring member countries to review and ‘‘represent a progression’’ in their intended nationally determined contributions, which set greenhouse gas emission reduction goals every five years beginning in 2020. Although this international agreement, referred to as the “Paris Agreement’, does not create any binding obligations for nations to limit their greenhouse gas emissions, it does include2020, including pledges to voluntarily limit or make future greenhouse gas emissions. The United States signed the Paris Agreement was signed byin 2016 but formally withdrew in August 2017. The withdrawal will take effect in November 2020. Several U.S. states formed the United States in 2016 but, in August 2017,Climate Alliance to advance the U.S. State Department officially informed the United Nationsobjectives of the intent ofParis Agreement at the United States to withdraw fromstate level despite the Paris Agreement. federal withdrawal.
In addition, the EPA has published findings that emissions of greenhouse gases present an endangerment to public health and the environment, which maycould lead to further regulationsregulation of greenhouse gas emissions under existing provisions of the Clean Air Act. The EPA has already issued rules requiring monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from the oil and natural gas sector, including onshore and offshore production activities. Furthermore,Although in November 2016, the Bureau of Land Management (‘‘BLM’’) publishedissued a final rule requiring reductions in methane emissions from venting, flaring, and leaking activities on public lands, but the BLM has since published a proposed rulemakingrescinded the rule in October 2017 that would temporarily suspend certain requirements contained inSeptember 2018. Several states have sued the BLM seeking to restore the November 2016 final rule, until January 17, 2019.and other states may regulate methane emissions by state law. Future or more stringent federal or state regulation could dramatically increase operating costs for oil and natural gas companies, curtail production and demand for oil and natural gas in areas of the world where our customers operate, and reduce the market for our services by making wells and/or oilfields uneconomical to operate, which may in turn adversely affect results of operations.
We rely on third-party suppliers, manufacturers and service providers to secure equipment, components and parts used in rig operations, conversions, upgrades and construction.
Our reliance on third-party suppliers, manufacturers and service providers to provide equipment and services exposes us to volatility in the quality, price and availability of such items. Certain components, parts and equipment that we use in our operations may be available only from a small number of suppliers, manufacturers or service providers. The failure of one or more third-party suppliers, manufacturers or service providers to provide equipment, components, parts or services, whether due to capacity constraints, production or delivery disruptions, price increases, quality control issues, recalls or other decreased availability of parts and equipment, is beyond our control and could materially disrupt our operations or result in the delay, renegotiation or cancellation of drilling contracts, thereby causing a loss of contract drilling backlog and/or revenue to us, as well as an increase in operating costs.
Additionally, our suppliers, manufacturers, and service providers could be negatively impacted by changes in industry conditions or global economic conditions. If certain of our suppliers, manufacturers or service providers were to curtail or discontinue their business as a result of such conditions, it could result in a reduction or interruption in supplies
16
or equipment available to us and/or a significant increase in the price of such supplies and equipment, which could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Any violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or any other similar anti-corruption laws could have a negative impact on us.
A significant portion of our revenue is derived from operations outside the United States, which exposes us to complex foreign and U.S. regulations inherent in doing cross-border business and in each of the countries in which we transact business. We are subject to compliance with the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (‘‘FCPA’’) and other similar anti-corruption laws, which generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments to foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. The SEC and U.S. Department of Justice have continued to focus on enforcement activities with respect to the FCPA. While our employees and agents are required to comply with applicable anti-corruption laws, and we have adopted policies and procedures and related training programs meant to ensure compliance, we cannot be sure that our internal policies, procedures and programs will always protect us from violations of these laws. Violations of these laws may result in severe criminal and civil sanctions as well as other penalties. The occurrence or allegation of these types of risks may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
17
Provisions in our organizational documents may be insufficient to thwart a coercive hostile takeover attempt; conversely, theythese provisions and those in our outstanding debt and Saudi joint venture documents may deter a change of control transaction and decrease the likelihood of a shareholder receiving a change of control premium.
Companies generally seek to prevent coercive takeovers by parties unwilling to pay fair value for the enterprise they acquire. Provisions in our organizational documents that are meant to help us avoid a coercive takeover include:
| Authorizing the Board to issue a significant number of common shares and up to 25,000,000 preferred shares, as well as to determine the price, rights (including voting rights), conversion ratios, preferences and privileges of the preferred shares, in each case without any vote or action by the holders of our common shares; |
| Limiting the ability of our shareholders to call or bring business before special meetings; |
| Prohibiting our shareholders from taking action by written consent in lieu of a meeting unless the consent is signed by all the shareholders then entitled to vote; |
| Requiring advance notice of shareholder proposals for business to be conducted at general meetings and for nomination of candidates for election to our Board; and |
| Reserving to our Board the ability to determine the number of directors comprising the full Board and to fill vacancies or newly created seats on the Board. |
AtCertain actions taken by us could make it easier for another party to acquire control of the request of shareholders,Company. For instance, in June 2012 we adopted an amendment to our bye-laws to declassify the Board. In addition,Board, we did not renew our shareholder rights plan when it expired in July 2016, and in 2017 we amended our policy regarding nomination and proxy access for director candidates recommended by shareholders. Each of these changes may make it easier for another party to acquire control ofConversely, the Company. The remaining provisions designed to avoidprevent hostile takeovers, or protect holders of our debt instruments and our joint venture partner, may deter transactions in which shareholders would receive a coercive takeover may not be fully effective so thatchange of control premium. For example, certain change of control transactions could accelerate the principal amounts outstanding, and require premiums payments, under our debt instruments, or trigger a party may still be ablecall option to acquire the Company without paying what the Board considers to be fair value, including a control premium.purchase our interest in SANAD, our joint venture with Saudi Aramco.
Legal proceedings and governmental investigations could affect our financial condition and results of operations.
We are subject to legal proceedings and governmental investigations from time to time that include employment, tort, intellectual property and other claims, and purported class action and shareholder derivative actions, including claims related to our acquisition of Tesco. We are also subject to complaints and allegations from former, current or prospective employees from time to time, alleging violations of employment-related laws or other whistle blower-related matters. Lawsuits or claims could result in decisions against us that could have an adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. See ‘‘Item 3—Legal Proceedings’’ for a discussion of certain existing legal proceedings.

Our business is subject to cybersecurity risks.
Our operations are increasingly dependent on information technologies and services. Threats to information technology systems associated with cybersecurity risks and cyber incidents or attacks continue to grow, and include, among other things, storms and natural disasters, terrorist attacks, utility outages, theft, viruses, phishing, malware, design defects, human error, orand complications encountered as existing systems are maintained, repaired, replaced, or upgraded. Risks associated with these threats include, among other things:
|
|
| loss, corruption, or misappropriation of intellectual property, or other proprietary, confidential or |
| disruption or impairment of our and our customers’ business operations and safety procedures; |
18
| damage to our reputation with our customers and the market; |
| exposure to litigation; |
| loss or damage to our worksite data delivery systems; and |
| increased costs to prevent, respond to or mitigate cybersecurity events. |
Although we utilize various procedures and controls to mitigate our exposure to such risk, cybersecurity attacks and other cyber events are evolving and unpredictable. Moreover, we have no control over the information technology systems of our customers, suppliers, and others with which our systems may connect and communicate. As a result, the occurrence of a cyber incident could go unnoticed for a period time.
We do not presently maintain insurance coverage to protect against cybersecurity risks. If we procure such coverage in the future, we cannot ensure that it will be sufficient to cover any particular losses we may experience as a result of such cyber attacks.cyberattacks. Any cyber incident could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Changes to United States tax, tariff and import/export regulations may have a negative effect on global economic conditions, financial markets and our business.
There have been ongoing discussions and commentary regarding potential significant changes to the United States trade policies, treaties, tariffs and taxes, including trade policies and tariffs regarding China. In 2018, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative (the “USTR”) enacted tariffs on imports into the U.S. from China. In September 2018, the USTR enacted another tariff on the import of other Chinese products with an additional combined import value of approximately $200 billion. The tariff became effective on September 24, 2018, with an initial rate of 10%, with the potential for significant increases if the U.S. and China do not reach a new trade deal in the near term. There is significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to the trade policies, treaties, taxes, government regulations and tariffs that would be applicable. It is unclear what changes might be considered or implemented and what response to any such changes may be by the governments of other countries. Significant tariffs or other restrictions placed on Chinese imports and any related counter-measures that are taken by China could have an adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Even in the absence of further tariffs, the related uncertainty and the market's fear of an escalating trade war might create forecasting difficulties for us and cause our customers and business partners to place fewer orders for our products and services, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity, financial condition, and/or results of operations. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, may have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between these nations and the United States. Any of these factors could depress economic activity and restrict our access to suppliers or customers and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and affect our strategy around the world. Given the relatively fluid regulatory environment in China and the United States and relative uncertainty with respect to tariffs, international trade agreements and policies, a trade war, further governmental action related to tariffs or international trade policies, or additional tax or other regulatory changes in the future could directly and adversely impact our financial results and results of operations.
Failure to realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions, divestitures, investments, joint ventures and other strategic transactions may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial position.
We undertake from time to time acquisitions, divestitures, investments, joint ventures, alliances and other strategic transactions that we expect to further our business objectives. For example, in October 2016, we announced an agreement to form a new joint venture in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which commenced operations in December, 2017. The success of the Saudi joint venture depends, to a large degree, on the satisfactory performance of our joint venture partner’s obligations, including contributions of capital, drilling units and related equipment, and our ability to maintain an effective, working relationship with our joint venture partner.
We also completed the acquisition of Tesco in December 2017. Potential issues and difficulties that may be encountered withWe are still attempting to obtain certain regulatory approvals related to the Tesco acquisition, include the following:and may not be able to do so in certain jurisdictions.

The anticipated benefits of the Saudi joint venture, the Tesco acquisition, and other strategic transactions may not be fully realized, or may be realized more slowly than expected, and may result in operational and financial consequences, including, but not limited to, the loss of key customers, suppliers or employees, and significant transactional expenses,or the disposition of certain assets or operations, which may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The loss of key executives or inability to attract and retain experienced technical personnel could reduce our competitiveness and harm prospects for future success.
The successful execution of our business strategies will depend,depends, in part, on the continued service of certain key executive officers and employees. We have employment agreements with some of our key personnel within the company, but no assurance can be given that any employee will remain with us, whether or not they have entered into an employment agreement with us.agreement. We do not carry key man insurance. In addition, our operations depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain experienced technical professionals. Competition for such professionals is intense. The loss of key executive officers and/or our inability to retain or attract experienced technical personnel, could reduce our competitiveness and harm prospects for future success, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, Nabors’ performance could be adversely affected if the company does not identify or retain key employees and skilled workers of Tesco. It is possible that these employees may not remain with the combined company. The loss of the services of one or more of such key employees and skilled workers could adversely affect Nabors’ future operating results because of their experience and knowledge of Tesco’s business. In addition, current and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the company as the integration of Tesco’s operations with Nabors’ continues. This may adversely affect the ability of Nabors to attract and retain key personnel, which could adversely affect Nabors’ performance.
Significant issuances of common shares or exercises of stock options could adversely affect the market price of our common shares.
As of February 22, 2018,19, 2020, we had 800,000,000 authorized common shares, of which 368,338,349419,928,615 shares were outstanding and entitled to vote, of whichincluding 52,800,203 million were held by our subsidiaries. In addition, 10,629,6346,631,194 common shares were reserved for issuance pursuant to stock option and employee benefit plans, and 31,997,773 common shares were reserved for issuance upon exchange of outstanding Exchangeable Notes.Notes, and 37,096,700 common shares were reserved for issuance upon conversion of outstanding mandatory convertible preferred shares. The sale, or availability for sale, of substantial amounts of our common shares in the public market, whether directly by us or resulting from the exercise of options (and, where applicable, sales pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act) or the exchange of Exchangeable Notes or the conversion of mandatory convertible preferred shares for common shares, would be dilutive to existing shareholders, could adversely affect the prevailing market price of our common shares and could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of equity securities.
Our common share price has been and may continue to be volatile.
The trading price of our common shares has fluctuated in the past and is subject to significant fluctuations in response to the following factors, some of which are beyond our control:
● | variations in quarterly operating results; |
● | deviations in our earnings from publicly disclosed forward-looking guidance; |
● | variability in our revenues; |
● | our announcements of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships or joint ventures; |
● | general conditions in and market perceptions of the oil and gas industry; |
● | uncertainty about current global economic conditions; |
● | fluctuations in stock market price and volume; and |
● | other general economic conditions. |
The trading market for our common stock is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts may publish about us, our business, our markets or our competitors. We do not have any control over these analysts and we cannot provide any assurance that analysts will cover us or provide favorable coverage. If any of the analysts who may cover us adversely change their recommendation regarding our stock, or provide more favorable
20
relative recommendations about our competitors, our stock price could materially decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease coverage of our Company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to materially decline.
During 2019, our stock price on the NYSE ranged from a high of $4.08 per common share to a low of $1.50 per common share. In recent years, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected the market price for many companies in industries similar to ours. Some of these fluctuations have been unrelated to the operating performance of the affected companies. These market fluctuations may decrease the market price of our common shares in the future.
As a holding company, we depend on our operating subsidiaries and investments to meet our financial obligations.
We are a holding company with no significant assets other than the stock of our subsidiaries. In order to meet our financial needs and obligations, we rely exclusively on repayments of interest and principal on intercompany loans that we have made to operating subsidiaries and income from dividends and other cash flow from such subsidiaries. There can be no assurance that such operating subsidiaries will generate sufficient net income to pay dividends or sufficient cash flow to make payments of interest and principal to Nabors in respect of intercompany loans. In addition, from time to time, such operating subsidiaries may enter into financing arrangements that contractually restrict or prohibit these types of upstream payments to Nabors. Nabors’ debt instruments do not contain covenants prohibiting any such contractual restrictions. There may also be adverse tax consequences associated with such operating subsidiaries paying dividends. Finally, the ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions to us, may be restricted by the laws of the
19
applicable subsidiaries’ jurisdictionjurisdictions of organization and other laws and regulations. If subsidiaries are unable to distribute or otherwise make payments to us, we may not be able to pay interest or principal on obligations when due, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain the necessary funds from other sources.
ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
Not applicable.
Nabors’ principal executive offices are located in Hamilton, Bermuda. We own or lease executive and administrative office space in Houston, Texas; Anchorage, Alaska; Calgary, Canada; Dubai in the United Arab Emirates; Bogota, Colombia; and Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.Arabia; and Sandnes, Norway. Our principal physical properties are rigs which are more fully described in Part I, Item 1.—Business.
Many of the international drilling rigs and some of the Alaska rigs in our fleet are supported by mobile camps which house the drilling crews and a significant inventory of spare parts and supplies. In addition, we own various trucks, forklifts, cranes, earth-moving and other construction and transportation equipment, which are used to support our operations. We also own or lease a number of facilities and storage yards used in support of operations in each of our geographic markets.
We own certain mineral interests in connection with our investment in development and production of natural gas, oil and natural gas liquids in the United States and the province of British Columbia, Canada.States.
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
21
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 15 — Commitments and Contingencies in Part II, Item 8.—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data for a description of such proceedings.
In March 2011, the Court of Ouargla entered a judgment of approximately $24.6 million (at December 31, 2017 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 $16.6 million in excess of amounts accrued.
On September 29, 2017, Nabors and Nabors Maple Acquisition Ltd. were sued, along with Tesco Corporation and its Board of Directors, in a putative shareholder class action filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. The plaintiff alleges that the September 18, 2017 Preliminary Proxy Statement filed by Tesco with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission omitted material information with respect to
20
the proposed transaction between Tesco and Nabors announced on August 14, 2017. The plaintiff claims that the omissions rendered the Proxy Statement false and misleading, constituting a violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and alleges liability by Nabors as a control person of Tesco. Defendants have consolidated this case, captioned The Vladimir Gusinsky Rev. Trust et al. v. Tesco Corporation et al., No. 4:17-cv-02918 (S.D. Tex.) (Miller, J.) with two other matters recently filed making the same or similar legal claims against Nabors and/or Tesco, captioned Panella v. Tesco Corporation et al., No. 4:17-cv-02904 (S.D. Tex.) (Bennett, J.) and Norman Heinze v. Tesco Corporation et al., No. 4:17-cv-03029 (S.D. Tex).

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
On December 15, 2017, we reported in a current report on Form 8-K that we had issued approximately 32,034,232 shares of our common stock in connection with the acquisition of Tesco Corporation. The shares were issued in reliance on an exemption from registration under federal securities laws provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “3(a)(10) Exception”), for the issuance and exchange of securities approved after a public hearing on the fairness of the terms and conditions of the exchange by a court of competent jurisdiction in front of whom the securities will be issued had the right to appear. We were later informed by our transfer agent that approximately 43,445 additional common shares were issued at closing to certain Tesco employee shareholders for stock awards that had vested, and therefore were included in the number of Tesco shares outstanding at closing, but had not yet been processed by Tesco prior to closing. These shares were also issued under the 3(a)(10) Exception. As a result, in connection with the acquisition of Tesco Corporation we issued a total of approximately 32.1 million Nabors common shares.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included under Part II, Item 8.—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including those set forth under Part I, Item 1A.—Risk Factors and elsewhere in this annual report. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”
Management Overview
We own and operate one of the world’s largest land-based drilling rig fleets and are a provider ofprovide offshore rigs in the United States and numerous international markets. Our business is comprised of our global land-based and offshore drilling rig operations and other rig related services and technologies, consisting oftechnologies. These services include tubular services, wellbore placement solutions, directional drilling, measurement-while-drilling, logging-while-drilling systems and services, equipment manufacturing, rig instrumentation and optimization software. We also specialize in wellbore placement solutions and are a leading provider of directional drilling and MWD systems and services.
During 2016, we entered into an agreement with Saudi Aramco, to form a new joint venture to own, manage and operate onshore drilling rigs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The joint venture, which is equally owned by Saudi Aramco and Nabors, commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 2017. The joint venture leverages our established business in Saudi Arabia to begin operations, with a focus on Saudi Arabia's existing and future onshore oil and gas fields.Outlook
On December 15, 2017, Nabors completed the acquisition of Tesco. Tesco’s tubular services business will benefit our Drilling Solutions segment as we expand globally into key regions. The acquisition had the additional benefit of combining Tesco’s rig equipment manufacturing, rental and aftermarket service business with our Rig Technologies segment, creating a leading rig equipment and drilling automation provider. Under the terms of the acquisition, Nabors acquired all common shares of Tesco in an all-stock transaction, with Tesco shareholders receiving 0.68 common shares of Nabors for each Tesco share owned, or approximately 32.1 million Nabors common shares.
Outlook
The demand for our services is a function of the level of spending by oil and gas companies for exploration, development and production activities. The primary driver of customer spending is their cash flow and earnings which are largely driven by oil and natural gas prices.prices and customers’ production volumes. The oil and natural gas markets have traditionally been volatile and tend to be highly sensitive to supply and demand cycles.
The worldwide supplyThroughout much of 2019, we experienced increases in activity and pricing within our U.S. Drilling operating segment as well as moderate improvements within our Drilling Solutions operating segment. However, these increases were offset by declines in our International Drilling and Canada Drilling operating segments. During the latter part of 2019, we experienced an overall decline in market demand which adversely impacted our results for oil has improved over2019. We expect the past couplemarket to stabilize during the first half of years, while OPEC has successfully curtailed supply growth. The2020 with marginal increases in activity throughout the balance of the year. Internationally, we expect an increase in the price of oil has spurred rig count growththroughout 2020.
Recent Developments
In December 2019, Nabors Delaware entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Second Amendment”) to its existing 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. Among other things, the Second Amendment replaced the net funded debt to capitalization covenant with a covenant to maintain net funded indebtedness at no greater than 5.5 times EBITDA (as defined in the U.S. and increased expression of interest for additional rigs internationally, which historically is less cyclical than the U.S. In the U.S., our average rigs working during 2017 experienced a 63% increase compared to 2016. Internationally, our average rigs working during 2017 experienced a decrease of 9% compared to 2016. Due to the large number of idle rigs in the market at the beginningSecond Amendment). See further details of the year, the increaseSecond Amendment within Note 10—Debt in the demand for rigs resulted in the increase in average rigs working without considerable upward pressure on prices, or dayrates. However, as we entered new contracts or renewed existing ones throughout 2017, most notably during the latter half of the year, we experienced favorable dayrate increases. This trend has continued into 2018.Part II, Item 8. —Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Recent Developments
On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Reform Act”). Among a number of significant changes to the current U.S. federal income tax rules, the Tax Reform Act reduces the marginal U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent, limits the current deduction for net interest expense, limits the use of net operating losses to offset future taxable income, and imposes a type of minimum tax designed to reduce the benefits derived from intercompany transactions and payments that result in base erosion. As a result of the Tax Reform Act, we were required to revalue deferred tax assets and liabilities from 35 percent to 21 percent. This revaluation has resulted in recognition of an expense of approximately $138.6 million, which is included as
26
a component of income tax expense in continuing operations. We believe the other provisions of the Tax Reform Act should not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. On December 22, 2017, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118") was issued to address the application of U.S. GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Reform Act. In accordance with SAB 118, we have calculated our best estimate of the impact of the Tax Reform Act in our year end income tax provision in accordance with our understanding of the Tax Reform Act and guidance available as of the date of this filing. However, we are continuing to assess the impact that it will have on us and our preliminary assessment is subject to the finalization of management’s analysis related to certain matters.
In January 2018,2020, Nabors Delaware completed ana private placement offering of $800$600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% senior unsecuredguaranteed notes due February 1, 2025, which2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior guaranteed notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes” and, together with the 2026 Notes, the “notes”). The 2026 and 2028 Notes will bear interest at an annual rate of 7.25% and 7.50%, respectively. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by us.certain of Nabors’ indirect wholly owned subsidiaries. The proceeds from this offering were used primarily to repay indebtednessrepurchase $952.9 million aggregate principal amount, for a net premium of Nabors and its subsidiaries, including all$2.7 million (excluding accrued interest), of certain of Nabors Delaware’s outstanding 6.15%senior notes that were tendered pursuant to an offer to purchase certain of our senior notes. The aggregate principal amount repurchased included approximately $407.7 million of our 5.50% senior notes due February 2018.
At December 31, 2017, we had $550.02023, $379.7 million outstanding underof our $2.25 billion revolving credit facility and commercial paper program. Availability under the revolving credit facility is subject to a covenant not to exceed a net debt to capital ratio of 0.60:1. As of December 31, 2017, our net debt to capital ratio was 0.56:1. See Item 6. “Selected Financial Data”. The net debt to capital ratio as of December 31, 2017 does not give effect to the issuance of the4.625% senior notes due 2021 and $165.5 million of our 5.10% senior notes due 2023. The remaining proceeds were used to pay for transactional fees and for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of other debt. We also repurchased in January 2018 discussed above.the open market, aside from the tender offer, approximately $21.2 million aggregate principal amount of our various senior notes.

Financial Results
Comparison of the years ended December 31, 20172019 and 20162018
Operating revenues in 20172019 totaled $2.6$3.0 billion, representing a decrease of $14.2 million from 2018. Although we experienced an increase of $336.4 million, or 15%, from 2016. We have seen a significant increase in the number of rigs working in the U.S. compared to the same period last year, which has led to higher revenues inoperating revenue within our U.S. Drilling Drilling Solutionsoperating segment as activity and Rig Technologies reportable segments. Internationally, we experiencedpricing improved, this increase was more than offset by a decline in the number of rigs working of approximately 9%, which has partially offset the increases realized in the U.S.operating revenues within our Canada and International Drilling segment.operating segments.
Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Nabors common shareholders totaled $503.3$720.1 million for 20172019 ($1.752.11 per diluted share) compared to a net loss from continuing operations attributable to Nabors common shareholders of $1.0 billion$638.6 million ($3.581.95 per diluted share) in 2016. This equated to a decrease in loss from continuing operations attributable to Nabors of $508.1 million. In combination with the2018, or an $81.5 million increase in revenue noted above,the net loss. Although our segments’ adjusted operating income improved by approximately $30.5 million compared to the prior period, our net loss from continuing operations attributable to Nabors was positivelyadversely impacted by the absencean increase in impairments and other charges of $146.0 million coupled with an equity method investmentincrease in CJES, which accounted for $442.0 millionforeign currency exchange losses of our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 related to our share of the net loss of CJES as well as impairment charges associated with the investment. Our results for 2017 include a benefit for a release of reserves due to favorable tax audit outcomes during the year of $167.0approximately $16.8 million. This was offset by $138.6 million in income tax expense recorded in connection with the Tax Reform Act.
General and administrative expenses in 20172019 totaled $251.2$258.7 million, representing a decrease of $7.1 million, or 3% from 2018. This is reflective of a reduction in workforce and general cost-reduction efforts across our operating segments and our corporate offices.
Research and engineering expenses in 2019 totaled $50.4 million, representing a decrease of $5.8 million, or 10%, from 2018. The decrease is primarily attributable to a reduction in staffing levels, fewer capital projects and other cost control efforts across many of our research and engineering projects and initiatives.
Depreciation and amortization expense in 2019 was $876.1 million, representing an increase of $23.5$9.2 million, or 10% from 2016. This is primarily reflective of an increase in headcount and compensation in response to the increase in drilling activity.
Research and engineering expenses in 2017 totaled $51.1 million, representing an increase of $17.5 million, or 52%1%, from 2016.2018. The slight increase is a result of increased efforts towards a number of strategic research and engineering projects, including the acquisition of RDS during 2017.
Depreciation and amortization expense in 2017 was $842.9 million, representing a decrease of $28.7 million, or 3%, from 2016. The decrease was primarily due to the impact from retirements and impairmentsincreased number of various rigs and rig equipmentthat were working in late 2016 partially offset bythe U.S. during the period, which results in a higher active depreciation rate, coupled with incremental depreciation associated with capital expenditures as we upgrade ourupgraded existing rig fleet.rigs during the end of 2018 and early 2019.

Segment Results of Operations
Our business is comprised of our global land-based and offshore drilling rig operations and other rig related services and technologies, consisting of equipment manufacturing, rig instrumentation and optimization software. We also specialize in wellbore placement solutions and are a leading provider of directional drilling and MWD systems and services.
During the fourth quarter of 2017, we effected a change in the reporting of our segments to better reflect our product offerings and growing significance of our Nabors Drilling Solutions business. The expansion of our tubular services offering attributable to the acquisition of Tesco during the fourth quarter, along with management’s increasing focus on the strategic aspect of this business and expectation of future growth, culminated in the decision to break this operation out into its own segment called Drilling Solutions. This operation was historically included within our Rig Services segment, which we have renamed Rig Technologies and now primarily reflects the oilfield equipment manufacturing, rental and aftermarket service business of Canrig. Our segment information has been revised to conform to the new reportable segments. Our business now consists of five reportable segments: U.S., Drilling, Canada Drilling, International Drilling, Drilling Solutions and Rig Technologies. See Note 21—Segment Information for additional information on the change in reporting segments.
Management evaluates the performance of our reportable segments using adjusted operating income (loss), which is our segment performance measure, because it believes that this financial measure reflects 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. Adjusted operating income (loss) is computed by subtracting the sum of direct costs, generalrepresents income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, interest expense, earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates, investment income (loss), impairments and administrative expenses, researchother charges and engineering expenses and depreciation and amortization from operating revenues.other, net. A reconciliation of adjusted operating income to net income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes can be found in Note 21—19—Segment Information.Information in Part II, Item 8. —Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Operating results decreasedrevenues increased in 20172019 compared to 2016. We2018 primarily due to an increase in dayrates as market prices continued to improve throughout most of the year, resulting in approximately $97.2 million of the increase in operating revenues. Additionally, we experienced a 63%slight increase in activity as reflected by a 2% increase in the average number of rigs working during 2017 compared to 2016, which wasaccounted for approximately $26.4 million of the primary contributor to the $251.2 million, or 45%,

increase in operating revenues. However, dayratesrevenue. Partially offsetting the increase in operating revenues were lower onhigher field support costs and depreciation expense associated with the increase in activity during the period.
Canada Drilling
Operating revenues decreased in 2019 compared to 2018 as reflected by the 36% decline in average mitigating the impact of increasedrigs working. The decline in activity on our average daily margins and adjustedis mainly due to an industry-wide decline in rig count in Canada due to unfavorable economic conditions, causing customers to cancel or delay drilling programs. The decrease in operating income. Additionally, positive results wererevenues was partially offset by corresponding declines in operating costs and depreciation expense as a result of the decline in activity. This segment also benefited from various cost reduction initiatives.
International Drilling
Operating revenues decreased in 2019 compared to 2018 as they were unfavorably impacted by a reduction in pre-funded amortizing revenue of approximately $110 million as well as a decline in activity, as reflected by a 5% decrease in the average number of rigs working. The decrease in activity was partially attributed to the sale of our workover business in Argentina as well as fewer rigs working in Algeria, India, Kuwait and Venezuela. The decrease in operating revenue was partially offset by corresponding declines in operating costs and depreciation resulting from fewer rigs working during the period.
Drilling Solutions
Operating revenues increased marginally in 2019 compared to 2018. Although this segment experienced increased operating revenue due to growth in our performance tools and tubular running services offerings, this was mostly offset by a decline in wellbore placement as the U.S. market softened in the latter half of the year. The increase in
29
adjusted operating income was primarily driven by improved profitability from our wellbore placement and tubular running services offerings due to effective cost reduction efforts across this business.
Rig Technologies
Operating revenues decreased in our offshore operations. Our results for 2016 included a favorable resolution of negotiations for one of our rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, which resulted in partial recovery of standby revenues for past quarters of approximately $20.9 million. The absence of this incremental revenue in combination with a decline in the number of rigs working in the Gulf of Mexico contributed2019 compared to 2018 due to the overall decline in operating results.
Canada
Operating results increased in 2017 compared to 2016 due to an increase in drilling rig activity as evidenced by the increase in average number of rigs working during 2017 compared to 2016.
International
Operating results decreased in 2017 compared to 2016 primarily due to the loss of revenue and increased costs related to downtime incurred to perform structural work on many of our rigs in our largest international market during the first half of 2017. Additionally, results were negativelywell as fewer capital equipment sales. However, adjusted operating income (loss) was positively impacted by a 9%improved margins on current product offerings coupled with cost reduction in average number of rigs working during 2017 compared to 2016. Partially offsetting these declines were increased drilling activity in Colombia, Kazakhstan and Kuwait.initiatives.
Drilling Solutions
Operating results increased in 2017 compared to 2016 primarily due to a substantial increase in the performance tools revenue days. Although prices on average have been lower in the U.S., we have experienced increased pricing throughout 2017, most notably during the fourth quarter as contracts are renegotiated. Additionally, we have experienced growth across all product lines as a result of the significant increase in drilling activity in the U.S. during 2017 compared to 2016.
Rig Technologies
Operating results increased in 2017 compared to 2016 due to the significant increase in drilling activity in the U.S. for the period and in the demand for our products and services. The revenue increase in the segment is driven by an increase in capital equipment deliveries from Canrig.
Other Financial Information
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. We previously accounted for our investment in CJES under the equity method on a one-quarter lag through June 30, 2016. On July 20, 2016, CJES voluntarily filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result, beginning with the third quarter of 2016, we ceased accounting for our investment under the equity method of accounting. Earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates for the year ended December 31, 2016 includes our share of the net income (loss) of CJES from October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, resulting in a loss of $221.9 million, inclusive of charges of $138.5 million representing our share of CJES’s fixed asset impairment charges for the period.
Interest expense
Interest expense for 20172019 was $222.9$204.3 million, representing an increasea decrease of $37.5$22.8 million, or 20%10%, compared to 2016.2018. The increasedecrease was primarily due to the additional interest expense related torepayment of approximately $303.5 million aggregate principal of our 9.25% senior notes due January 2019 during 2018 utilizing the issuanceproceeds from our equity offering completed in May 2018. This decrease was further supplemented by the repurchase of $600approximately $468.3 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.5%our senior unsecured notes due 2023 during December 2016 as well as the issuance of $575 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.75% senior exchangeable notes due 2024 during January 2017. This increase was partially offset by a reduction in interest expense due to the repayment of the term loan facility with proceeds of these offerings and with the repurchase or redemption of approximately $367.9 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.15% senior notes due 2018 since December 31, 2016.throughout 2019.

Impairments and other charges
Impairments and other charges for 20172019 was $44.5$290.5 million, which included $21.6primarily consisted of $203.7 million of impairments to goodwill and intangible assets. As part of our goodwill impairment test, we determined the carrying value of some of our reporting units exceeded their fair value. As such, we recognized impairments of $75.6 million for the remaining goodwill balance attributable to our International Drilling operating segment, $52.2 million for the remaining goodwill balance attributable to our U.S. Drilling operating segment and $28.1 million for the remaining goodwill balance attributable to the acquisition of 2TD reported within our Rig Technologies operating segment. Additionally, we recognized an impairment of $47.7 million to write off the intangible asset due to uncertainty in transaction related costs, $16.0 million loss recognizedcommercialization and demand stemming from lower commodity prices and rig counts. These non-cash pre-tax impairment charges were primarily the result of a sustained decline in our market capitalization and lower future cash flow projections due to expectations for future commodity prices below previous projections and the resulting impact on the early extinguishmentlower demand projections for our products and services within these reporting units.
The balance of debt resulting from debt repurchases$86.8 million consisted of impairments and impairmentsretirement provisions for several tangible and other assets. These assets included some of long-lived assets of $6.9 million comprised of underutilizedour older and smaller rigs in our Canada and International drilling segment.Drilling rig fleets of $17.8 million and $15.4 million, respectively, underutilized offshore rigs, obsolete rig components and inventories totaling $10.4 million and $43.2 million in various receivables or other assets impacted by foreign sanctions or other political risk issues, bankruptcies or other financial problems.
Other, net
Other, net for 20172019 was $14.9$33.2 million of expense, which included foreign currency exchange losses of $20.9 million, net losses on sales and disposals of assets of approximately $7.1 million and an increase in litigation reserves of $5.2 million.
Other, net for 2018 was $29.5 million of expense, which included net losses on sales and disposals of assets of approximately $19.0$11.8 million, an increase in litigation reserves of $9.9 million and foreign currency exchange losses of $1.6$4.2 million.
Other, net for 2016 was $44.2 million ofIncome tax expense which was primarily comprised of net losses on sales and disposals of assets of approximately $14.8 million, legal and professional fees primarily of $12.9 million incurred in connection with preserving our interests in CJES, foreign currency exchange losses of $5.7 million and increases to litigation reserves of $3.9 million.(benefit)
Income tax rate
Our worldwide effective tax rate during 2017expense for 2019 was 14.3% compared to 15.6% during 2016. The effective tax rate for 2017 includes a benefit for the release$91.6 million, representing an increase of reserves due to favorable audit outcomes during the year of $167.0 million. This was partially offset by a non-cash write-down of net deferred tax assets of $138.6 million attributable to the Tax Reform Act passed during the fourth quarter of 2017.
Discontinued operations
Our discontinued operations during 2017 and 2016 consisted of our historical wholly owned oil and gas businesses. Income (loss) from discontinued operations during 2017 was a loss of $43.9$12.3 million compared to a loss of $18.4 million2018. The increase in tax expense during 2016. During 2017 and 2016, we recognized impairment charges of $35.3 million and $15.4 million, respectively, due to the deterioration of economic conditions in the dry gas market in western Canada. Additionally, our net loss for 2017 included a $16.5 million charge related to the settlement of litigation associated with our previously owned Ramshorn International properties.
Additional discussion of our policy pertaining to the calculations of our annual impairment tests, including any impairment of goodwill, is set forth in Critical Accounting Estimates below in this section and in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Part II, Item 8.—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data. Additional information relating to discontinued operations is provided in Note 4—Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations in Part II, Item 8.—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Comparison of the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015
Operating revenues in 2016 totaled $2.2 billion, representing a decrease of $1.6 billion, or 42%, from 2015. The decrease in revenues was due to the significant decline in the number of rigs working as evidenced by a 34% reduction in average rigs working during 20162019 compared to 2015. Also contributing to the decline in revenue were lower dayrates as existing contracts expired and were repriced at the lower prevailing market dayrates for many rigs, while other rigs commenced standby rates, terminations or price concessions granted to certain customers. The remainder of the decrease in operating revenue was due to ceasing to consolidate the revenues associated with our Completion & Production Services business, which accounted for $0.4 billion, or 22%, of the overall decrease.
Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Nabors totaled $1.0 billion for 2016 ($3.58 per diluted share) compared to a net loss from continuing operations attributable to Nabors of $329.9 million ($1.14 per diluted share) in 2015. This equated to an increase in loss from continuing operations attributable to Nabors of $681.5 million. Approximately $435.2 million of the increase in loss was attributable to our segment adjusted operating income (loss), which is our primary measure of operating performance. See Segment Results of Operations for further information on the changes to segment adjusted operating income (loss). The remainder of the increase in loss was attributable to higher losses from unconsolidated affiliates and an increase in the magnitude of impairments and other charges. We recorded a $221.9 million loss in 2016 compared to an $81.3 million loss in 2015 for our share of the net income (loss) of CJES, which represents our portion (53%) of their net income (loss). Our impairments and other charges were $505.2 million
30
in 2016 compared to $369.0 million in 2015, for a $136.2 million increase in losses. These charges were primarily comprised of $285.4 million related to impairments and retirements of tangible assets and equipment as a result of the sustained decline in oil prices and the continued realization of lower demand for and obsolescence of legacy asset classes and $219.7 million related to other-than-temporary impairments on our equity method investments. Similarly, during 2015 we recognized approximately $369.0 million in impairments and other charges. These charges resulted from the impact of the industry downturn on our business activity and future outlook as the continuation of depressed oil prices led to considerable reductions in capital spending by some of our customers and diminished demand for our drilling services. These charges were primarily comprised of $140.1 million related to impairments and retirements of tangible assets and equipment, $180.6 million related to an other-than-temporary impairment on our equity method investment in CJES and $48.3 million for a provision for International operations. Additional information relating to impairments and other charges is provided in Note 3—Impairments and Other Charges in Part II, Item 8.—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
General and administrative expenses in 2016 totaled $227.6 million, representing a decrease of $96.7 million, or 30% from 2015. The decrease was partially attributable to the fact that we ceased consolidating the expenses from our former Completion & Production Services business as a result of the CJES merger, which accounted for approximately $26.0 million of the decrease. Also contributing to the decrease was a reduction in average headcount of approximately 22% as a result of our efforts to right size our back office functions to the level of operations. The remainder of the decrease is attributed to our continued cost-reduction efforts across our remaining operating units and our corporate offices.
Research and engineering expenses in 2016 totaled $33.6 million, representing a decrease of $7.7 million, or 19%, over 2015. The decrease2018 was primarily attributable to a reductionthe change in workforce and general cost-reduction efforts across the various operating units. Also contributing to the decrease was the reduction in drilling related projects as a result of the decline in overall activity.
Depreciation and amortization expense in 2016 was $871.6 million, representing a decrease of $98.8 million, or 10%, over 2015. The decrease was due largely to the fact that we ceased consolidating the expenses from our former Completion & Production Services business as a result of the CJES merger, which accounted for $51.1 million of the decrease. The remainder of the decrease primarily relates to an increased number of rigs that were not working during the period, which results in a lower inactive depreciation rate and the impact from various retirements of legacy fleet rigs in late 2015.

U.S.
Operating results decreased in 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to the continued decline in drilling activity in the lower 48 states, reflected by a 48% reduction in the average number of rigs working during 2016 compared to the prior period. The decline in drilling activity is the result of lower customer demand for drilling rigs due to the depressed oil price environment. This lower demand also resulted in lower dayrates for rigs, both of which contributed to the decrease in revenue as well as adjusted operating income (loss). Partially offsetting the decrease in drilling activity during 2016 was a favorable resolution of negotiations for one of our rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, which resulted in partial recovery of standby revenues for past quarters of approximately $20.9 million. While activity levels were lower on average throughout 2016, we believe that activity levels bottomed in the earlier half of the year and we have seen a marked improvement over the second half of the year, reflected by an increase in our average rigs working of 50% from the lowest point early in the second quarter to the end of the year.
Canada
Operating results decreased in 2016 compared to 2015 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 was evidenced by a 42% reduction in average rigs working during 2016 compared to the prior period. The seasonal decline in the second quarter of 2016 was minimalized by the historically low first quarter rig counts, which averaged 4 rigs. However, we experienced an increase over the course of the second half of 2016. We exited 2016 and entered 2017 with a marked increase in rigs working to 25 rigs at the end of January 2017.
International
Operating results decreased in 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to a decline in drilling activity, reflected by a 19% reduction in average rigs working during 2016 compared to the prior period. The decrease in our operating results was also adversely affected by pricing pressure and diminished demand as customers released rigs in response to
32
the significant drop in oil prices. Partially offsetting the decrease in activity for the year ended December 31, 2016 was approximately $45.7 million in revenue related to early termination and demobilization payments, recovery of certain contractual disputes and a business interruption insurance claim.
Drilling Solutions
Operating results decreased in 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to a broad-based decline in revenue-producing activities as well as the continued decline in our directional drilling businesses due to generally lower drilling activity and intense competition driven by the low prices of oil and gas.
Rig Technologies
Operating results decreased in 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to fewer top drive and catwalk unit sales, which is driven by the low prices of oil and gas.
Other Financial Information
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 accounted for our investment in CJES on a one-quarter lag through June 30, 2016. On July 20, 2016, CJES voluntarily filed for protection under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result, beginning in the third quarter of 2016, we ceased accounting for our investment in CJES under the equity method of accounting. The year ended December 31, 2016 includes our share of the net income (loss) of CJES from October 1, 2015 through March 31, 2016, resulting in a loss of $221.9 million, inclusive of charges of $138.5 million representing our share of CJES’s fixed asset impairment charges for the period. As we wrote off the remaining carrying value of our investment in CJES during the second quarter of 2016, we did not record our share of the earnings (losses) of CJES for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as we are not contractually responsible for losses beyond our investment. The operating losses of CJES for the period noted above are primarily due to reduced activity levels resulting from the extended downturn in oil prices.
Interest expense
Interest expense for 2016 was $185.4 million, representing a marginal increase of $3.4 million, or 2%, compared to 2015. During 2016, we curtailed spending on major projects, which resulted in a reduction in the amount of capitalized interest recognized during the period of approximately $13.8 million. The reduction in capitalized interest for the year was partially offset by the benefit of lower interest expense incurred on our 6.15% and 9.25% senior notes of approximately $9.1 million. The average amounts outstanding under these senior notes were lower throughout 2016 due to the repurchases made in 2015 and early 2016 of approximately $10.8 million and $131.0 million, respectively.
Other, net
Other, net for 2016 was $44.2 million of expense, which was primarily comprised of net losses on sales and disposals of assets of approximately $14.8 million, legal and professional fees primarily incurred in connection with preserving our interests in CJES of $12.9 million, foreign currency exchange losses of $5.7 million and increases to litigation reserves of $3.9 million.
Other, net for 2015 was $39.2 million of income, which was primarily comprised of a net gain of $47.1 million related to the CJES merger, inclusive of a $102.2 million gross gain offset by transaction costs and post-closing adjustment, and net gains on sales and disposals of assets of approximately $2.3 million. These gains were partially offset by increases to litigation reserves of $8.2 million and foreign currency exchange losses of $0.4 million.
Income tax rate
Our worldwide effective tax rate during 2016 was 15.6% compared to 22.9% during 2015. The change was attributable to the effect of the geographic mix of pre-tax earnings (losses), including greater losses. The ratio of pre-tax earnings in high-tax jurisdictions. Thecertain high tax effect of impairments and our share of the net loss of CJES also contributed to the change.
33
Discontinued operations
Our discontinued operations during 2016 and 2015 consisted of our historical wholly owned oil and gas businesses. Income (loss) from discontinued operations during 2016 was a loss of $18.4 millionjurisdictions compared to a loss of $42.8 during 2015. Our net loss during 2016low or zero tax jurisdictions increased in 2019 compared to 2018, resulting in an increase in income tax expense. This increase was primarily due to a $15.4 million impairment charge due to the deterioration of economic conditions in the dry gas market in western Canada. Similarly, during 2015partially offset by certain discrete items. During 2019, we recognized impairment charges of $51.0a $29.6 million on our oil and gas properties in western Canada as well as a $3.1 million impairment charge for a note receivable remainingtax benefit from the salerelease of a valuation allowance in one of our former Canada subsidiaries that provided logistics services.foreign jurisdictions related to net operating loss carryforwards.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Financial Condition and Sources of Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and investments, availability under our revolving credit facility, our commercial paper programfacilities and cash generated from operations. As of December 31, 2017,2019, we had cash and short-term investments of $365.4$452.5 million and working capital of $527.9$592.1 million. As of December 31, 2016,2018, we had cash and short-term investments of $295.2$481.8 million and working capital of $333.9$761.5 million. At December 31, 2017,2019, we had $550.0$355.0 million of borrowings outstanding under our $2.25 billion revolving credit facility and commercial paper program.facilities.
In January 2017, Nabors Delaware issued $575 million in aggregate principal amount of its 0.75% exchangeable senior unsecured notes due 2024, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Nabors. The exchangeable notes are exchangeable, under certain conditions, at an initial exchange rate of 39.75 common shares of the Company per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $25.16 per common share). Upon any exchange, Nabors Delaware will settle its exchange obligation in cash, common shares of the Company, or a combination of cash and common shares, at our election. In connection with the pricing of the notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions which are expected to reduce potential dilution to common shares and/or offset potential cash payments required to be made in excess of the principal amount upon any exchange of notes. Such reduction and/or offset is subject to a cap representing a price per share of $31.45, an approximately 75.0% premium over our share price of $17.97 as of the date of the transaction. The net proceeds from the offering of the exchangeable notes were used to prepay the remaining balance of our unsecured term loan originally scheduled to mature in 2020, as well as to pay approximately $40.3 million for the cost of the capped call transactions. Any remaining net proceeds from the offering were allocated for general corporate purposes, including to repurchase or repay other indebtedness.
In January 2018, Nabors Delaware completed an offering of $800 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% senior unsecured notes due February 1, 2025, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Nabors. The proceeds from this offering were used to repay indebtedness of Nabors and its subsidiaries, including all of Nabors Delaware’s outstanding 6.15% senior notes due February 2018.

Our ability to access capital markets or to otherwise obtain sufficient financing may be affected by our senior unsecured debt ratings as provided by the major credit rating agencies in the United States and our historical ability to
34
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 maturity, exchange or purchase of our notes and our debt facilities, loss of availability of our revolving credit facilities and our A/R Agreement, 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. The major U.S. credit rating agencies have previously downgraded our senior unsecured debt rating to non-investment grade. These and any further ratings downgrades 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. See Part I, Item 1A.—Risk Factors—A downgrade in our credit rating could negatively impact our cost of and ability to access capital markets or other financing sources.
The 2018 Revolving Credit Facility requires us to maintain a net leverage ratio 5.50:1 or less and an asset to debt coverage ratio of at least 2.50:1, as of the end of each calendar quarter. The net leverage ratio became effective with the adoption of the Second Amendment. The asset to debt coverage ratio applies only during the period which Nabors Delaware fails to maintain an investment grade rating from at least two rating agencies, which was the case as of the date of this report. Our asset to debt coverage ratio was 4.28:1 as of December 31, 2019 and 3.82:1 as of December 31, 2018. Our net leverage ratio was 3.55:1 as of December 31, 2019.
Our gross
As of the date of this report, we were in compliance with all covenants under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. If we fail to perform our obligations under the covenants, the revolving credit commitments under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility could be terminated, and any outstanding borrowings under the facilities could be declared immediately due and payable. If necessary, we have the ability to manage these ratios by taking certain actions including reductions in discretionary capital or other types of controllable expenditures, monetization of assets, amending or renegotiating the revolving credit agreement, accessing capital markets through a variety of alternative methods, or any combination of these alternatives. We expect to remain in compliance with all covenants under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility during the twelve month period following the date of this report based on our current operational and financial projections. However, we can make no assurance of continued compliance if our current projections or material underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect. If we fail to comply with the covenants, the revolving credit commitment could be terminated, and any outstanding borrowings under the facility could be declared immediately due and payable.
The 2012 Revolving Credit Facility requires us to maintain a net funded debt to capital ratio of 0.60:1 or less. As of December 31, 2019 our net funded debt to capital ratio was 0.58:10.59:1. The 2012 Revolving Credit Facility expires in July 2020, or if we fail to comply with the net funded debt to capital covenant, the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility could
31
be terminated earlier than July 2020. However, at such time as the 2012 Revolving Credit Facility becomes unavailable, we have the ability and intent to refinance the outstanding balance utilizing the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, which has approximately $1.0 billion of available capacity as of December 31, 2017 and 0.52:1 as of December 31, 2016, respectively. Our2019. The net funded debt to capital ratio, was 0.56:1 as December 31, 2017 and 0.50:1 as of December 31, 2016. The gross debt to capital ratio is calculated by dividing total debt by total capitalization (total debt plus shareholders’ equity). The net debt to capital ratio is calculated by dividing net debt by net capitalization. Net debt is defined as total debt minus the sum of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Net capitalization is defined as net debt plus shareholders’ equity. Availability under the revolving credit facility is subject to a covenant not to exceed a net debt to capital ratio of 0.60:1. Neither the gross debt to capital ratio nor the net leverage ratio and the asset to debt to capitalcoverage ratio is a measureare not measures of operating performance or liquidity defined by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
Our interest coverage ratio was 2.4:1 as of December 31, 2017 and 3.4:1 as of December 31, 2016. The interest coverage ratio is a trailing 12-month quotient of the sum of operating revenues, direct costs, general administrative expenses and research and engineering expenses divided by interest expense. The interest coverage ratio is not a measure of operating performance or liquidity defined by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. None of the above ratios give effect to the issuance of the senior notes in January 2018 discussed above.
We are a holding company and therefore rely exclusively on repayments of interest and principal on intercompany loans that we have made to our operating subsidiaries and income from dividends and other cash flows from our operating subsidiaries. There can be no assurance that our operating subsidiaries will generate sufficient net income to pay us dividends or sufficient cash flows to make payments of interest and principal to us. See Part I., Item 1A.—Risk Factors—As a holding company, we depend on our operating subsidiaries and investments to meet our financial obligations.
Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement
On September 13, 2019, we entered into a $250.0 million accounts receivable sales agreement (the “A/R Agreement”) whereby certain U.S. operating subsidiaries of the Company (collectively, the “Originators”) sold or contributed, and will on an ongoing basis continue to sell or contribute, certain of its domestic trade accounts receivables to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote, special purpose entity (the “SPE”). The SPE would in turn, sell, transfer, convey and assign to third-party financial institutions (the “Purchasers”), all the rights, title and interest in and to its pool of eligible receivables. The sale of these receivables qualified for sale accounting treatment in accordance with ASC 860.
The amount available for purchase under the A/R Agreement fluctuates over time based on the total amount of eligible receivables generated during the normal course of business after excluding excess concentrations and certain other ineligible receivables. The maximum purchase commitment of the Purchasers under the A/R Agreement is approximately $250.0 million, and the amount of receivables purchased by the Purchasers as of December 31, 2019 was $140.0 million. As of December 31, 2019, the total amount of eligible receivables available for purchase by the Purchasers was $171.7 million. See further details at Note 4 — Accounts Receivable Sale Agreement in Part II, Item 8. —Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Future Cash Requirements
Our current cash and investments, projected cash flows from operations, proceeds from equity or debt issuances and our revolving credit facilityfacilities 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.
Future Cash Requirements
We expect capital expenditures over the next 12 months to be approximately $0.5 billion. Purchase commitments outstanding at December 31, 20172019 totaled approximately $196.0$170.4 million, primarily for rig-related enhancements, new construction and equipment, as well as sustaining capital expenditures, other operating expenses and purchases of inventory. We can reduce planned expenditures if necessary or increase them if market conditions and new business opportunities warrant it. 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. We believe these programs will result in the enhancement of a significant number of rigs in our existing Lower 48 fleet. When the programs are completed, we expect to have a larger fleet of high-specification land rigs deployed in the Lower 48. We believe the capabilities of these high-specification rigs will meet or exceed requirements from customers.
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 ofusing existing cash or debt or by issuing our common shares, such as our acquisition of Tesco in December 2017.shares. Future acquisitions may be funded using existing cash or by issuing debt or additional shares of our stock.the Company. Such capital expenditures and acquisitions will depend on our view of market conditions and other factors.

On August 25, 2015, our Board authorized a share repurchase program (the “program”) under which we may repurchase, from time to time, up to $400$400.0 million of our common shares by various means, including in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Authorization for the program, which was renewed in February 2019, does not have an expiration date and does not obligate us to repurchase any of our common shares. Since establishing the program, we have repurchased 14.0 million of our common shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $119.4 million under this program. As of December 31, 2019, the remaining amount authorized under the program that may be used to purchase shares was $280.6 million. The repurchased shares, which are held by our subsidiaries, are
32
registered and tradable subject to applicable securities law limitations and have the same voting and other rights as other outstanding shares. As of December 31, 2019, our subsidiaries held 52.8 million of our common shares.
On May 23, 2019, our Board authorized a share repurchase program under which we may repurchase, from time to time, up to $10.0 million of our mandatory convertible preferred 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 commonmandatory convertible preferred shares. During 2017 and 2016,the year ended December 31, 2019, we repurchased 3.1 million and 0.3 million, respectively, of our common136,772 mandatory convertible preferred shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $18.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, under this program. As of December 31, 2017, the remaining amount authorized under the program that may be used to purchase shares was $280.6$2.9 million. The repurchased shares, which are held by our subsidiaries, are registered and tradable subject to applicable securities law limitations and have the same voting and other rights as other outstanding shares. As of December 31, 2017, our subsidiaries held 52.8 million of our common shares.
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 and may involve material amounts.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017,2019, our Board declared a cash dividend of $0.06$0.01 per common share. This quarterly cash dividend was paid on January 3, 20182020 to shareholders of record on December 13, 2017.2019 in the amount of $3.6 million. Additionally, during the three months ended December 31, 2019, our Board declared a cash dividend of $0.75 per mandatory convertible preferred share, which was paid on February 3, 2020 to shareholders of record at the close of business on January 15, 2020 in the amount of $4.3 million. During the year ended December 31, 2017,2019, we paid cash dividends totaling $68.5$49.6 million. See Part II, Item 5.—Market Price of and Dividends on the Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Shareholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity—Dividends.
During 2016, we entered into an agreement with Saudi Aramco, to form a new joint venture to own, manage and operate onshore drilling rigs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The joint venture, which is equally owned by Saudi Aramco and Nabors, commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 2017. The joint venture leverages our established business in Saudi Arabia to begin operations, with a focus on Saudi Arabia's existing and future onshore oil and gas fields. During 2017, Nabors and Saudi Aramco each contributed $20 million in cash as the initial contribution upon formation of the joint venture. In addition, during 2017 Nabors and Saudi Aramco each contributed approximately $204 million in a combination of drilling rigs, drilling rig equipment or other assets, including cash, to the joint venture in proportion to the respective party’s ownership interest. We have also agreed to contribute an additional five drilling rigs and related assets to the joint venture in January 2019. Additionally, the agreement requires each partner to backstop its share of the joint venture’s obligations to purchase the first 25 drilling rigs in the event that there is insufficient cash in the joint venture or third party financing available. Although, we currently anticipate that the future rig purchase needs will be met by cash flows from the joint venture and/or third party financing, no assurance can be given that the joint venture will not require us to fund our backstop.
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 decreases in the price of oil or natural gas 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 or acquisitions, purchases and sales of investments, loans, 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 20172019 and 20162018 cash flows below.
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $62.8$684.6 million during 2017,2019, compared to $531.9net cash provided of $325.8 million during 2016.2018. Operating cash flows are our primary source of capital and liquidity. The decreaseincrease in cash flows from operations is primarily attributable to increases in activity and margins in our U.S. Drilling operating cash flows was primarily due to a substantial turnaround in cash required for working capital as business conditions improved during 2017.segment. Changes in working capital items such as collection of receivables, other deferred revenue arrangements and payments of operating payables are significant factors affecting operating cash flows. Changes in working capital items used $384.9provided $136.7 million in cash flows during 20172019 and provided $92.1used $216.2 million in cash flows during 2016.2018.
Investing Activities. Net cash used for investing activities totaled $502.0$355.9 million during 20172019 compared to net cash used of $382.1$367.1 million in 2016.2018. 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 20172019 and 2016,2018, we used cash for capital expenditures totaling $574.5$427.7 million and $395.5$458.9 million, respectively.
We received $57.9$60.3 million in proceeds from insurance claims and sales of assets and insurance claims during 20172019 compared to $34.8$109.1 million in 2016.2018. Additionally, we paid $20.9 million, net, for businesses acquired in 2018.
Financing Activities. Net cash used for financing activities totaled $331.6 million during 2019. During 2019, we received net proceeds of $185.0 million in amounts borrowed under our revolving credit facilities, partially offset by a $455.4 million repayment on our senior notes. Additionally, we paid dividends totaling $49.6 million to our common and preferred shareholders.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $512.2$155.6 million during 2017. During 2017,2018. In 2018, we received net proceeds of $519.9$579.3 million from the issuance of common and mandatory convertible preferred shares and redeemable noncontrolling interest contributions totaling $156.9 million from our joint partner in SANAD. During 2018, we paid dividends totaling $87.1 million to our common and preferred shareholders. Additionally, we received net proceeds of $778.7 million in connection with the issuance of our exchangeable5.75% senior unsecured notes and $550.0 million in amounts borrowed under our commercial paper program and revolving credit facility.notes. This
37
was partially offset by the repayment of the remaining balancebalances of our unsecured term loan of $162.5 million6.15% and the repurchase or redemption of $381.8 million, reflecting principal and premiums incurred in connection with these repurchases of9.25% senior notes due February 2018. Additionally, we paid dividendstotaling $774.8 million, repurchase of $68.5$103.5 million and received proceeds of $8.3 million due to stock options exercised and $80.1 million in contributions from our joint venture partner in SANAD.
Net cash used for financing activities totaled $138.2 million during 2016. This was primarily due to the $348.0 million payoff ofsenior notes that matured in September 2016 coupled with the $145.62020 and beyond, and $380.0 million pay down of notes that mature in 2018 and beyond. In 2016, we received proceeds of $600.0 million fromon our 5.50% senior notes which was used to prepay the $162.5 million portion due under our term loan and repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility2012 Revolving Credit Facility and commercial paper program. During 2016, the net amounts paid under our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program was $8.0 million. Additionally, we paid cash dividends of $50.9 million.
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 involveinclude the A/R Agreement (see —Accounts Receivable Sale Agreement, above) and certain agreements and obligations under which we provide financial
34
or performance assurance to third parties. Certain of these agreementsfinancial or performance assurances 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 Naborsus 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.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the amounts of revenues and expenses recognized during the reporting period. We analyze our estimates based on our historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from our estimates. The following is a discussion of our critical accounting estimates. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:
| it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and |
| changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. |
38
For a summary of all of our significant accounting policies, see Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in Part II, Item 8.—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment. The drilling workover and well-servicingdrilling services industries are very capital intensive. Property, plant and equipment represented 69%73% of our total assets as of December 31, 2017,2019, and depreciation and amortization constituted 27%24% of our total costs and other deductions in 2017.2019.
Depreciation for our primary operating assets, drilling and workover rigs, is calculated based on the units-of-production method. For each day a rig is operating, we depreciate it over an approximate 4,927-day period, with the exception of our jackup rigs which are depreciated over an 8,030-day period, after provision for salvage value. For each day a rig asset is not operating, it is depreciated over an assumed depreciable life of 20 years, with the exception of our jackup rigs, where a 30-year depreciable life is typically used, after provision for salvage value.
Depreciation on our buildings, well-servicing rigs, oilfield hauling and mobile equipment, marine transportation and supply vessels, aircraft equipment, and other machinery and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset after provision for salvage value (buildings—10 to 30 years; well-servicing rigs—3 to 15 years; marine transportation and supply vessels—10 to 25 years; aircraft equipment—5 to 20 years; oilfield hauling and mobile equipment and other machinery and equipment—3 to 10 years).
These depreciation periods and the salvage values of our property, plant and equipment were determined through an analysis of the useful lives of our assets and based on our experience with the salvage values of these assets.
35
Periodically, we review our depreciation periods and salvage values for reasonableness given current conditions. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is therefore based upon estimates of the useful lives and salvage value of those assets. Estimation of these items requires significant management judgment. Accordingly, management believes that accounting estimates related to depreciation expense recorded on property, plant and equipment are critical.
There have been no factors related to the performance of our portfolio of assets, changes in technology or other factors indicating that these estimates do not continue to be appropriate. Accordingly, for the years ended December 31, 2017, 20162019, 2018 and 2015,2017, no significant changes have been made to the depreciation rates applied to property, plant and equipment, the underlying assumptions related to estimates of depreciation, or the methodology applied. However, certain events could occur that would materially affect our estimates and assumptions related to depreciation. Unforeseen changes in operations or technology could substantially alter management’s assumptions regarding our ability to realize the return on our investment in operating assets and therefore affect the useful lives and salvage values of our assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. As discussed above, the drilling workover and well-servicing industry isdrilling services industries are very capital intensive. We review our assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are not sufficient to support the asset’s recorded value, an impairment charge is recognized to reducethe extent the carrying amount of the long-lived asset toexceeds its estimated fair value. Management considers a number of factors such as estimated future cash flows from the assets, appraisals and current market value analysis in determining fair value. The determination of future cash flows requires the estimation of utilization, dayrates, operating margins, sustaining capital and remaining economic life. Such estimates can change based on market conditions, technological advances in the industry or changes in regulations governing the industry. Significant and unanticipated changes to the assumptions could result in future impairments. A significantly prolonged period of lower oil and natural gas prices could continue to adversely affect the demand for and prices of our services, which could result in future impairment charges. As the determination of whether impairment charges should be recorded on our long-lived assets is subject to significant management judgment, and an impairment of these assets could result in a material charge on our consolidated statements of income (loss), management believes that accounting estimates related to impairment of long-lived assets are critical.
Assumptions in the determination of future cash flows are made with the involvement of management personnel at the operational level where the most specific knowledge of market conditions and other operating factors exists. For 2017, 20162019, 2018 and 2015,2017, no significant changes have been made to the methodology utilized to determine future cash flows.
For an asset classified as held for sale, we consider the asset impaired when its carrying amount exceeds fair value less its cost to sell. Fair value is determined in the same manner as a long-lived asset that is held and used.
Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets. We review goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually during the second quarter of each fiscal year or more frequently if events or changes in
39
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such goodwill and intangible assets may exceed their fair value. We perform our impairment tests for goodwill for all of our reporting units within our reportable segments. Our business consists of U.S., Drilling, Canada Drilling, International Drilling, Drilling Solutions and Rig Technologies reportable segments. Our Rig Technologies reportable segment includes our Canrig, operations. TheRDS and 2TD reporting units. We initially assess goodwill for impairment test involves comparingbased on qualitative factors to determine whether the estimatedexistence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of theone of our reporting unit tounits is greater than its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment charge will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
As part of our annual goodwill impairment test performed during the second quarter of 2019, we determined the carrying value of some of our reporting units exceeded their fair value. As such, we recognized an impairment of $75.6 million for the remaining goodwill balance attributable to our International Drilling operating segment and $18.0 million for a partial impairment to our goodwill balance related to the acquisition of 2TD in 2014, reported within our Rig Technologies operating segment. These non-cash pre-tax impairment charges were primarily the result of a sustained decline in our market capitalization and lower future cash flow projections due to expectations for future commodity prices and the resulting impact on the demand for our products and services within these reporting units.
36
During the fourth quarter of 2019, due to current industry conditions such as the drop in U.S. rig count as well as the recent commodity prices and the corresponding impact on future expectations of demand for our products and services, including the effect that these factors have had on our stock price, we performed a quantitative impairment assessment of our goodwill as of December 31, 2019. Based on the results of our goodwill test, we recognized additional impairment charges of $52.2 million for the remaining goodwill balance attributable to our U.S. Drilling operating segment and $10.1 million for the remaining goodwill balance attributable to the acquisition of 2TD within our Rig Technologies operating segment.
Our estimated fair values of our reporting units incorporate judgment and the use of estimates by management. The fair values calculated in these impairment tests arewere determined using discounted cash flow models, involvingwhich require the use of significant unobservable inputs, representative of a Level 3 fair value measurement. Our cash flow models involve 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 fair value estimates of these reporting units are sensitive to varying dayrates, utilization and costs. A significantly prolonged period of lower oil and natural gas prices, other than those assumed in developing our forecasts, or changes in laws and regulations could adversely affect the demand for and prices of our services, which could in turn result in future goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges for these reporting units due to the potential impact on our estimate of our future operating results. 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 that are 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%approximately 2%. We believe
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 for purposes of these tests represent a Level 3 fair value measurement.
A significantly prolonged period of lower oilnon-operating assets and natural gas prices or changes in lawsliabilities, less debt, to our market capitalization and regulations could continue to adversely affectassessed the demand for and pricesreasonableness of our services, which could result in futureestimated fair value. Any of the above-mentioned factors may cause us to re-evaluate goodwill impairment charges for other reporting units due toduring any quarter throughout the potential impact on our estimate of our future operating results.year.
Income Taxes. We operate in a number of countries throughout the world and our tax returns filed in those jurisdictions are subject to review and examination by tax authorities within those jurisdictions. We are currently contesting tax assessments throughout the worldin a number of countries and may contest future assessments. We believe the ultimate resolution of the outstanding assessments, for which we have not made any accrual, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. We recognize uncertain tax positions that we believe have a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being sustained. We cannot predict or provide assurance as to the ultimate outcome of any existing or future assessments.
Audit claims of approximately $163.5$18.6 million attributable to income customs and other business taxestax have been assessed against us. We have contested, or intend to contest, these assessments, including through litigation if necessary, and we believe the ultimate resolution, for which we have not made any accrual, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. Tax authorities may issue additional assessments or pursue legal actions as a result of tax audits and we cannot predict or provide assurance as to the ultimate outcome of such assessments and legal actions.
Applicable income and withholding taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings of our subsidiaries. We do not intend to repatriate such undistributed earnings except for distributions upon which incremental income and withholding taxes would not be material.
In certain jurisdictions we have recognized deferred tax assets and liabilities. Judgment and assumptions are required in determining whether deferred tax assets will be fully or partially utilized. When we estimate that all or some portion of certain deferred tax assets such as net operating loss carryforwards will not be utilized, we establish a valuation allowance for the amount ascertained to be unrealizable. We continually evaluate strategies that could allow for future utilization of our deferred assets. Any change in the ability to utilize such deferred assets will be accounted for in the period of the event affecting the valuation allowance. If facts and circumstances cause us to change our expectations regarding future tax consequences, the resulting adjustments could have a material effect on our financial results or cash flow.
Litigation and Self-Insurance Reserves. Our operations are subject to many hazards inherent in the drilling workover and well-servicingdrilling services industries, including blowouts, cratering, explosions, fires, loss of well control, loss of or damage to the wellbore or underground reservoir, damaged or lost drilling equipment and damage or loss from inclement weather
37
or natural disasters. Any of these and other hazards could result in personal injury or death, damage to or destruction of equipment and facilities, suspension of operations, environmental and natural resources damage and damage to the property of others. Our offshore operations are also subject to the hazards of marine operations including capsizing, grounding, collision and other damage from hurricanes and heavy weather or sea conditions and unsound ocean bottom conditions. Our operations are subject to risks of war or acts of terrorism, civil disturbances and other political events.
40
Accidents may occur, we may be unable to obtain desired contractual indemnities, and our insurance may prove inadequate in certain cases. There is no assurance that our insurance or indemnification agreements will adequately protect us against liability from all of the consequences of the hazards described above. Moreover, our insurance coverage generally provides that we assume a portion of the risk in the form of a deductible or self-insured retention.
Based on the risks discussed above, it is necessary for us to estimate the level of our liability related to insurance and record reserves for these amounts in our consolidated financial statements. Reserves related to self-insurance are based on the facts and circumstances specific to the claims and our past experience with similar claims. The actual outcome of self-insured claims could differ significantly from estimated amounts. We maintain actuarially determined accruals in our consolidated balance sheets to cover self-insurance retentions for workers’ compensation, employers’ liability, general liability and automobile liability claims. These accruals are based on certain assumptions developed utilizing historical data to project future losses. Loss estimates in the calculation of these accruals are adjusted based upon actual claim settlements and reported 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.
Because the determination of our liability for self-insured claims is subject to significant management judgment and in certain instances is based on actuarially estimated and calculated amounts, and because such liabilities could be material in nature, management believes that accounting estimates related to self-insurance reserves are critical.
During 2017, 20162019, 2018 and 2015,2017, no significant changes were made to the methodology used to estimate insurance reserves. For purposes of earnings sensitivity analysis, if the December 31, 20172019 reserves were adjusted by 10%, total costs and other deductions would change by $15.1$14.5 million, or .48%.39%.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We may be exposed to certain market risks arising from the use of financial instruments in the ordinary course of business. This risk arises primarily as a result of potential changes in the fair market value of financial instruments due to adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, credit risk, interest rates, and marketable and non-marketable security prices as discussed below.
Foreign Currency Risk. We operate in a number of international areas and are involved in transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, which exposes us to foreign exchange rate risk and foreign currency devaluation risk. The most significant exposures arise in connection with our operations in Argentina and Canada, which usually are substantially unhedged.
At various times, we utilize local currency borrowings (foreign-currency- denominated debt), the payment structure of customer contracts and foreign exchange contracts to selectively hedge our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations in connection with monetary assets, liabilities, cash flows and commitments denominated in certain foreign currencies. A foreign exchange contract is a foreign currency transaction, defined as an agreement to exchange different currencies at a given future date and at a specified rate. A hypothetical 10% increase in the value of all our foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar as of December 31, 20172019 would result in a $6.4$10.8 million increase in the fair value of our net monetary liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars.
Credit Risk. Our financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term and long-term investments and accounts receivable. Cash equivalents such as deposits and temporary cash investments are held by major banks or investment firms. Our short-term and long-term investments are managed within established guidelines that limit the amounts that may be invested with any one issuer and provide guidance as to issuer credit quality. We believe that the credit risk in our cash and investment portfolio is minimized as a result of the mix of our investments. In addition, our trade receivables are with a variety of U.S., international and foreign-country national oil and gas companies. Management considers this credit risk to be limited due to the financial resources of these companies. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, and we generally do not require material collateral. We do occasionally require prepayment of amounts from customers whose
38
creditworthiness is in question prior to providing services to them. We maintain reserves for potential credit losses, and these losses historically have been within management’s expectations.
Interest Rate and Marketable and Non-marketable Security Price Risk. Our financial instruments that are potentially sensitive to changes in interest rates include our floating rate debt instruments (our revolving credit facility and the Nabors Delaware term loan which was repaid in part in December 2016 with the remainder repaid in January
41
2017)facilities), our fixed rate debt securities comprised of our 6.15%, 9.25%, 5.0%, 4.625%, 5.50%, 5.10% and 5.10%5.75% senior notes, our 0.75% senior exchangeable notes, our investments in debt securities (including corporate and mortgage-CMO debt securities) and our investments in overseas funds that invest primarily in a variety of public and private U.S. and non-U.S. securities (including asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, global structured-asset securitizations, whole-loan mortgages and participations in whole loans and whole-loan mortgages), which are classified as long-term investments.
We may utilize derivative financial instruments that are intended to manage our exposure to interest rate risks. We account for derivative financial instruments under the Derivatives Topic of the ASC. The use of derivative financial instruments could expose us to further credit risk and market risk. Credit risk in this context is the failure of a counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty would owe us, which can create credit risk for us. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we would owe the counterparty, and therefore, we would not be exposed to credit risk. We attempt to minimize credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with major financial institutions that have a significant asset base. Market risk related to derivatives is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from changes in interest rates. We try to manage market risk associated with interest-rate contracts by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the type and degree of market risk that we undertake.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. The fair value of our fixed rate long-term debt and revolving credit facility and commercial paperfacilities 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:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Nabors Industries Ltd.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Nabors Industries Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 20172019 and 2016,2018, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), of comprehensive income (loss), of changes in equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017,2019, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15 (a)15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017,2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20172019 and 20162018, and the results of theirits operations and theirits cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 20172019 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017,2019, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Change in Accounting Principle
As discussed in Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has changed its method for accounting for leases in 2019 due to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management'sManagement’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB")(PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Impairment of Goodwill for Certain Reporting Units within the U.S. and International Drilling Segments
As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had a consolidated goodwill balance of $28.4 million as of December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded consolidated impairment losses of $156.0 million for goodwill for certain reporting units including $52.2 million and $75.6 million in the U.S. and International Drilling segments, respectively. Management reviews 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 may exceed their fair value. Management initially assesses goodwill for impairment based on qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of one or more of its reporting units is greater than its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment charge will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. The fair values calculated in these impairment tests were determined using discounted cash flow models which require the use of significant unobservable inputs, representative of a Level 3 fair value measurement. The cash flow models involve assumptions, that vary by reporting unit, and include the Company’s 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. As disclosed by management, the fair value estimates of these reporting units are sensitive to varying dayrates, utilization and costs. 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 2%.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the impairment of goodwill for certain reporting units within the U.S. and International Drilling segments is a critical audit matter are there was significant judgment by management when developing the fair value for certain reporting units. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity and effort in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence relating to the cash flow models and significant assumptions, which vary by reporting unit for the related impairment assessments, including utilization of rigs, dayrates, applicable income taxes, capital expenditures, long term growth rates and discount rates. In addition, the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in performing these procedures and in evaluating the audit evidence obtained.
42
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s impairment assessment of goodwill for certain reporting units, including controls over the fair value estimates. These procedures also included, among others, testing management’s process for developing the fair value estimates; evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow models; testing the completeness, accuracy, and relevance of underlying data used in the models; and evaluating the significant assumptions used by management, which vary by reporting unit, including utilization of rigs, dayrates, applicable income taxes, capital expenditures, long term growth rates and discount rates. Evaluating management’s assumptions involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the reporting units, (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data, and (iii) whether these assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the Company’s discounted cash flow models and certain significant assumptions, including discount rates.

Nabors Industries Ltd. and Subsidiaries
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 Nature of Operations
We own and operate oneUnless the context requires otherwise, references in this annual report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” or “Nabors” mean Nabors Industries Ltd., together with our subsidiaries where the context requires. References in this annual report to “Nabors Delaware” mean Nabors Industries, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the world’s largest land-based drilling rig fleets and are a leading provider of offshore rigs in the United States and numerous international markets. Nabors.
Our business is comprised of our global land-based and offshore drilling rig operations and other rig related services and technologies, consisting oftechnologies. These services include tubular running services, wellbore placement solutions, directional drilling, measurement-while-drilling (“MWD”), logging-while-drilling (“LWD”) systems and services, equipment manufacturing, rig instrumentation and optimization software. We also specialize in wellbore placement solutions and are a leading provider of directional drilling and MWD systems and services.
The consolidated financial statements and related footnotes are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nabors, as well as all majority owned and non‑majoritynon-majority owned subsidiaries required to be consolidated under U.S. GAAP. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
In addition to the consolidation of our majority owned subsidiaries, we also consolidate variable interest entities (��(“VIE’s”) when we are determined to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based on whether an entity has (1) the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Our determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE considers all relationships between us and the VIE. During 2016, we entered into an agreement with Saudi Aramco, to form a newOur joint venture, SANAD, to own, manage and operate onshore drilling rigs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. SANAD, which is equally owned by Saudi Aramco and Nabors, began operations during the fourth quarter of 2017.has been consolidated. As we have the power to direct activities that most significantly impact SANAD’s economic performance, including operations, maintenance and certain sourcing and procurement, we have determined Nabors to be the primary beneficiary and accordingly consolidate the joint venture.beneficiary. See Note 14—13—Joint Ventures.
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. During the third quarter of 2016, CJES filed for bankruptcy, at which time we ceased accounting for our investment in CJES as an equity method investment. Prior to the bankruptcy filing, we historically recorded our share of the net income (loss) of our equity method investment in CJES on a one-quarter lag, as we were not able to obtain the financial information of CJES on a timely basis. See Note 9—Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates.
Change in Presentation
Certain amounts within our consolidated statements of income (loss) have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
During the fourth quarter of 2017, we determined that we had incorrectly accounted for the deferred tax assets related to certain share based compensation that had expired in prior years, resulting in an overstatement of our deferred tax asset balance. The correction of this error resulted in a reduction to both deferred tax assets and capital in excess of par of approximately $19.0 million. There was no impact to our consolidated statement of income (loss) for any periods presented.
52
Change in Segments
During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company revised its reporting segments to reflect a change in how management reviews financial information and makes operating decisions. The Company has reclassified prior-period amounts to conform to the current period’s presentation. See Note 21—Segment Information for additional information on the change in reportable segments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include demand deposits and various other short‑termshort-term investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Short-term Investments
Short‑term investments
Short‑termShort-term investments consist primarily of equity securities. Securities classified as available‑for‑salesecurities which are stated at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and temporary losses for available‑for‑sale securities are excluded from earnings and, until realized, are presentedvalue with any changes in the statementfair value recognized in investment income (loss) in our consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Unrealized holding losses are included in earnings during the period for which the loss is determined to be other‑than‑temporary.
In computing realized gains and losses on the sale of equity securities, the specific‑identification method is used. In accordance with this method, the cost of the equity securities sold is determined using the specific cost of the security when originally purchased.Inventory
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first‑in, first‑outfirst-in, first-out or weighted‑averageweighted-average costs methods and includes the cost of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. Inventory, which

is net of reserves of $28.9$35.0 million and $27.9 million as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, included the following:

Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment, including renewals and betterments, are stated at cost, while maintenance and repairs are expensed currently. Interest costs applicable to the construction of qualifying assets are capitalized as a component of the cost of such assets. We provide for the depreciation of our drilling and workover rigs using the units‑of‑productionunits-of-production method. For each day a rig is operating, we depreciate it over an approximate 4,927‑day4,927-day period, with the exception of our jackup rigs which are depreciated over an 8,030‑day8,030-day period, after provision for salvage value. For each day a rig asset is not operating, it is depreciated over an assumed depreciable life of 20 years, with the exception of our jackup rigs, where a 30‑year30-year depreciable life is used, after provision for salvage value.
Depreciation on our buildings, well‑servicing rigs, oilfield hauling and mobile equipment, marine transportation and supply vessels, and other machinery and equipment is computed using the straight‑linestraight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset after provision for salvage value (buildings—10 to 30 years; well‑servicing rigs—3 to 15 years; marine transportation and supply vessels—10 to 25 years; oilfield hauling and mobile equipment and other machinery and equipment—3 to 10 years). Amortization of capitalized leases is included in depreciation and amortization expense. Upon retirement or other disposal of fixed assets, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the respective property, plant and equipment accounts and any gains or losses are included in our consolidated statements of income (loss).
53
We review our assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are not sufficient to support the asset’s recorded value, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its estimated fair value. Management considers a number of factors such as estimated future cash flows from the assets, appraisals and current market value analysis in determining fair value. The determination of future cash flows requires the estimation of utilization, dayrates, operating margins, sustaining capital and remaining economic life. Such estimates can change based on market conditions, technological advances in the industry or changes in regulations governing the industry. Significant and unanticipated changes to the assumptions could result in future impairments. In December 2017, we signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement (“PSA”) to sell certain of our jackups for a combination of cash and equity. The PSA included several conditions to closing that must be reached before the deal proceeds to close. We are uncertain at this time whether or when these conditions may be achieved, as well as what the ultimate consideration value may be at closing. However, if the conditions are met and the deal proceeds to close, we could record a loss on the sale in the range of up to $50 million - $70 million. A significantly prolonged period of lower oil and natural gas prices could continue to adversely affect the demand for and prices of our services, which could result in future impairment charges. As the determination of whether impairment charges should be recorded on our long‑livedlong-lived assets is subject to significant management judgment, and an impairment of these assets could result in a material charge on our consolidated statements of income (loss), management believes that accounting estimates related to impairment of long‑livedlong-lived assets are critical.
For an asset classified as held for sale, we consider the asset impaired when its carrying amount exceeds fair value less its cost to sell. Fair value is determined in the same manner as a long‑livedlong-lived asset that is held and used.
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 may exceed their fair value. We initially assess goodwill for impairment based on qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of one of our reporting units is greater than its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, an impairment charge will be recognized in an amount equal to the excess; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
Our estimated fair values of our reporting units incorporate judgment and the use of estimates by management. The fair values calculated in these impairment tests were determined using discounted cash flow models, involvingwhich require the use of significant unobservable inputs, representative of a Level 3 fair value measurement. Our cash flow models
50
involve 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 fair value estimates of these reporting units are sensitive to varying dayrates, utilization and costs. A significantly prolonged period of lower oil and natural gas prices, other than those assumed in developing our forecasts, or changes in laws and regulations could adversely affect the demand for and prices of our services, which could in turn result in future goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges for these reporting units due to the potential impact on our estimate of our future operating results. 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‑termlong-term growth rate of 3%approximately 2%.
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‑operatingnon-operating assets and liabilities, less debt, to our market capitalization and assessed the reasonableness of our estimated fair value. Any of the above‑mentionedabove-mentioned factors may cause us to re‑evaluatere-evaluate goodwill during any quarter throughout the year.

Litigation and Insurance Reserves
We estimate our reserves related to litigation and insurance based on the facts and circumstances specific to the litigation and insurance claims and our past experience with similar claims. We maintain actuarially determined accruals in our consolidated balance sheets to cover self‑insuranceself-insurance retentions. See Note 17—15—Commitments and Contingencies regarding self‑insuranceself-insurance accruals. 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
51
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.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenues and costs on daywork contracts daily as the work progresses.progresses over the contract term. For certain contracts, we receive lump‑lump sum payments for the mobilization of rigs and other drilling equipment. We defer revenue related to mobilization periods and recognize the revenue over the term of the related drilling contract. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, our deferred revenues classified as other long-term liabilities were $135.0 million and $321.0 million, respectively. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, our deferred revenues classified as accrued liabilities were $218.4 million and $255.6 million, respectively.
Costs incurred related to a mobilization period for which a contract is secured are deferred and recognized over the term of the related drilling contract. Costs incurred to relocate rigs and other drilling equipment to areas in which a
55
contract has not been secured are expensed as incurred. We defer recognition of revenue on amounts received from customers for prepayment of services until those services are provided. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, our deferred expenses classified as other current assets were $61.2 million and $63.4 million, respectively. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, our deferred expenses classified as other long-term assets were $32.6 million and $69.5 million, respectively.

Proceeds from casualty insurance settlements in excess of the carrying value of damaged assets are recognized in other, net in our consolidated statement of income (loss) in the period that the applicable proof of loss documentation is received. Proceeds from casualty insurance settlements that are expected to be less than the carrying value of damaged assets are recognized at the time the loss is incurred and recorded in other, net in our consolidated statement of income (loss).
We recognize reimbursements received for out‑of‑out of pocket expenses incurred as revenues and account for out‑of‑out of pocket expenses as direct costs.
Research and Engineering
Research and engineering expenses are expensed as incurred and include costs associated with the research and development of new products and services and costs associated with sustaining engineering of existing products and services. As a result of our acquisition of 2TD during 2014,Robotic Drilling Systems AS (“RDS”) and PetroMar Technologies, we recorded intangible assets related to in process research and development of $47.7 million.$32.5 million and $21.7 million, respectively. As these products are developed, we will transfer the balances to completed technology and begin amortizing the intangible assets over the estimated useful life. NoNaN transfers occurred during the years ended December 31, 2017, 20162019, 2018 or 2015. We have made progress in the development of our rotary steerable drilling technology tools, including successful tests in 2015, October of 2016 and most recently November of 2017. The tools are currently being modified to another phase of verification testing before shipping the tools to the U.S. for further field tests.
Income Taxes
We are a Bermuda exempted company and are not subject to income taxes in Bermuda. We have provided for income taxes based on the tax laws and rates in effect in the countries where we operate and earn income. The income taxes in these jurisdictions vary substantially. Our worldwide effective tax rate for financial statement purposes will continue to fluctuate from year to year due to the change in the geographic mix of pre-tax earnings.
On December 22, 2017, the United States enacted the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Reform Act.Act”). Among a number of significant changes to the current U.S. federal income tax rules, the Tax Reform Act reduces the marginal U.S. corporate income tax rate from 35 percent down to 21 percent, limits the current deduction for net interest expense, limits the use of net operating losses to offset future taxable income, and imposes a type of minimum tax designed to reduce the benefits derived from intercompany transactions and payments that result in base erosion. As a result of the Tax Reform Act, we were required to revalue deferred tax assets and liabilities from 35 percent to 21 percent. This revaluation has resulted in recognition of anpercent and recognized expense of approximately $138.6 million, which is included as a component of income tax expense in continuing operations. We believeoperations for the otheryear ended December 31, 2017. Our US operations do not have any controlled foreign corporations and as such are not subject to the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income provisions of the Tax Reform Act should not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. On December 22, 2017, Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 ("SAB 118") was issued to address the applicationAct.
52
We recognize increases to our tax reserves for uncertain tax positions along with interest and penalties as an increase to other long‑termlong-term liabilities.
56
For U.S. and other jurisdictional income tax purposes, we have net operating loss carryforwards that we are required to assess quarterly for potential valuation allowances. We consider the sufficiency of existing temporary differences and expected future earnings levels in determining the amount, if any, of valuation allowance required against such carryforwards and against deferred tax assets.
Foreign Currency Translation
For certain of our foreign subsidiaries, such as those in Canada, the local currency is the functional currency, and therefore translation gains or losses associated with foreign‑denominatedforeign-denominated monetary accounts are accumulated in a separate section of the consolidated statements of changes in equity. For our other international subsidiaries, the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, and therefore local currency transaction gains and losses, arising from remeasurement of payables and receivables denominated in local currency, are included in our consolidated statements of income (loss).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the amounts of revenues and expenses recognized during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from such estimates. Areas where critical accounting estimates are made by management include:
| depreciation of property, plant and equipment; |
| impairment of |
| impairment of goodwill and intangible assets; |
|
|
|
|
| litigation and |
| fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-07, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures, 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. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation, 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. We adopted this guidance on a prospective basis effective January 1, 2017. The impact of adoption was a decrease in deferred tax liabilities of $7.1 million and an increase in retained earnings of $7.1 million related to excess tax benefits on prior awards. Additionally, we elected to account for forfeitures as they occur. The impact of this election resulted in an increase in capital in excess of par and a corresponding decrease in retained earnings of $1.9 million.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. In computing the implied
57
fair value of goodwill under Step 2, an entity had to perform procedures to determine the fair value at the impairment testing date of its assets and liabilities (including unrecognized assets and liabilities) following the procedure that would be required in determining the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Under this new standard, an entity should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and then recognize an impairment charge, as necessary, for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We have elected to early adopt this guidance on a prospective basis for our annual goodwill impairment test performed subsequent to January 1, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, relating to the revenue recognition from contracts with customers that creates a common revenue standard for U.S. 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. The standard will also require significantly expanded disclosures containing qualitative and quantitative information regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. 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. Throughout 2017 we, along with our third party consultants, identified and reviewed our revenue streams, identified a subset of contracts to represent these revenue streams and performed a detailed analysis of such contracts. We adopted this guidance under the modified retrospective approach as of January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments—Overall, 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 new standard became effective for us on January 1, 2018. Upon adoption, we recorded an adjustment to retained earnings of $9.1 million to eliminate the net unrealized gain balance in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to the equity instruments. If we do have a material amount of investments in equity securities in the future, we expect that the impact to our consolidated statements of income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) from this update could be material. Furthermore, depending on trends in the stock market, we may see increased volatility in our consolidated statements of income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss).
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, relating to leases to increase transparency and comparability among companies. This standard requires that all leases with an initial term greater than one year be recorded on the balance sheet as an asset and a lease liability. Additionally, this standard will requirerequires disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. We adopted this guidance under the modified retrospective approach as of January 1, 2019. We preliminarily determined that our drilling contracts contained a lease component, and the adoption would require us to separately recognize revenue associated with the lease and services components. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, which provides a practical expedient that allows entities to combine lease and non-lease components where the revenue recognition pattern is the same and where the lease component, when accounted for separately, would be considered an operating lease. Our drilling contracts contain a lease component related to the underlying drilling equipment, in addition to the service component provided by our crews and our expertise to operate such drilling equipment. We have determined that the non-lease service component of our drilling contracts is the predominant element of the combined component and will account for the combined components as a single performance obligation under Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. We have elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allows us to carry forward the historical accounting relating to lease identification and classification for existing leases upon adoption. With respect to leases whereby we are the lessee, we recognized upon adoption on January 1, 2019 lease liabilities and offsetting "right of use" assets of approximately $42.8 million based on the present value of the remaining minimum rental payments. See Note 21 — Leases.
53
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, which allows a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. In addition, the standard requires certain disclosures regarding stranded tax effects. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early application is permitted. This standard requires an entity to separate lease components from nonlease components2018, including interim periods within a contract. While the lease components would be accounted for under ASU No. 2016-02, nonlease components would be accounted for under ASU No. 2014-09.those fiscal years. We have determined that underelected to not reclassify the new standard, our drilling contracts contain a lease componentstranded tax effects within accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings and therefore we will be required to separately recognize revenues associated with the lease and services components. Therefore, we are evaluating ASU No. 2016-02 concurrently with the provisions of ASU No. 2014-09 and the impact this will have on our consolidated financial statements. We expect to adopt this guidance beginning January 1, 2019.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows, to reduce the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This guidancethere is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have anno impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In OctoberJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes,2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which simplifies thechanges accounting requirements for the income tax consequencesrecognition of intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. Wecredit losses from an incurred or probable impairment methodology to a current expected credit losses (CECL) methodology. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The guidance will adopt this standard during the first quarter of 2018be applied using the modified retrospective method throughwith a cumulative-effectcumulative effect adjustment directly to beginning retained earnings. Trade receivables (including the allowance for doubtful accounts) is the only financial instrument in scope for ASU 2016-13 currently held by the Company. We are stillcurrently evaluating the impact thiseffect the guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.
58
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, to provide guidance on the classification of restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in the ASU should be adopted on a retrospective basis. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which clarifies the definition of a business and provides further guidance for evaluating whether a transaction will be accounted for as an acquisition of an asset or a business. The standard provides a test to determine whether a set of assets and activities acquired is a business. When substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. Under the updated guidance, an acquisition of a single property will likely be treated as an asset acquisition as opposed to a business combination and associated transaction costs will be capitalized rather than expensed as incurred. Additionally, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest will be measured at their relative fair values. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to reduce diversity in practice and provide clarity regarding existing guidance in ASC 718, “Stock Compensation”. The standard provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. Specifically, an entity would not apply modification accounting if the fair value, vesting conditions and classification of the awards are the same immediately before and after the modification. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

For the year ended December 31, 2019
Tangible Assets and Equipment
During 2019, as a result of the extended period of reduced demand for some of our legacy asset classes, we retired some of our rigs within our Canada Drilling and International Drilling reportable segments resulting in a loss of $17.8 million and $15.4 million, respectively. Additionally, we recorded impairments totaling $2.5 million comprised of underutilized offshore platform rigs in our International Drilling reportable segment. These impairments resulted from the lack of future contractual opportunities on specific rigs as result of current market conditions across certain geographic regions. The balance of the impairment charge primarily related to obsolete inventory within our Rig Technologies reportable segment.
Goodwill impairments
During 2019, we recognized goodwill impairment charges of $156.0 million. As part of our annual goodwill impairment test performed during the second quarter of 2019, we determined the carrying value of some of our reporting units exceeded their fair value. As such, we recognized impairments of $75.6 million for the remaining goodwill balance attributable to our International Drilling operating segment and $18.0 million for a partial impairment to our goodwill balance attributable to the acquisition of 2TD reported within our Rig Technologies operating segment. These non-cash pre-tax impairment charges were primarily the result of a sustained decline in our market capitalization and lower future cash flow projections due to expectations for future commodity prices below previous projections and the resulting impact on the lower demand projections for our products and services within these reporting units.
During the fourth quarter of 2019, due to current industry conditions such as the drop in U.S. rig count as well as the recent commodity prices and the corresponding impact on future expectations of demand for our products and services, including the effect that these factors have had on our stock price, we performed a quantitative impairment assessment of our goodwill as of December 31, 2019. Based on the results of our goodwill test, we recognized additional impairment charges of $52.2 million for the remaining goodwill balance attributable to our U.S. Drilling operating segment and $10.1 million for the remaining goodwill balance attributable to the acquisition of 2TD within our Rig Technologies operating segment.
55
Intangible impairments
We determined the fair value of our rotary steerable tools in-process research and development intangible asset associated with our acquisition of 2TD was less than the current book value. As such, we recognized an impairment of $47.7 million to write off the intangible asset due to uncertainty in commercialization and demand stemming from lower commodity prices and rig counts.
Provision for international activities
During 2019, we recorded provisions aggregating to $43.2 million for certain assets, including receivables related to our international activities. The provisions were attributable to a number of foreign countries, which have been adversely impacted by foreign sanctions or other political risk issues, bankruptcies or other financial problems.
Severance and transaction related costs
During 2019, we recognized charges of $11.4 million due to severance and other related costs incurred to right-size our cost structure.
Loss (gain) on early extinguishment of debt
During 2019, we repurchased $468.3 million aggregate principal amount of our senior notes and recognized a gain of $11.5 million as part of the debt extinguishment. See Note 10—Debt for additional discussion.
For the year ended December 31, 2018
Tangible Assets and Equipment
During 2018, as a result of the decline in oil and gas prices in the fourth quarter and the extended period of reduced demand for some of our legacy asset classes, we retired 13 of our remaining SCR rigs within the U.S. Drilling reportable segment resulting in a loss of $14.6 million. Additionally, we recorded impairments totaling $45.6 million primarily comprised of underutilized rigs in our International Drilling and U.S. Drilling reportable segments. These impairments were deemed necessary due to the lack of future contractual opportunities on specific rigs as result of a change in market conditions across certain geographic regions. The balance of the impairment charge primarily related to obsolete inventory within our Rig Technologies reportable segment.
Transaction related costs
During 2018, we incurred $14.3 million in transaction related costs, including professional fees, severances, facility closure costs and other cost rationalization items, primarily in connection with the acquisition of Tesco.
Loss (gain) on early extinguishment of debt
During 2018, we repurchased $873.0 million aggregate principal amount of our senior notes. We paid the holders an aggregate of approximately $906.5 million in cash, reflecting principal and accrued and unpaid interest and prepayment premium and recognized a loss of $5.3 million as part of the debt extinguishment. See Note 10—Debt for additional discussion.
Divestiture of International assets
During 2018, we recognized a loss of $64.7 million on the sale of 3 offshore drilling rigs and 8 workover rigs within our International Drilling reportable segment.
56
For the year ended December 31, 2017
Tangible Assets and Equipment
In 2017, we recorded impairments totaling $6.9 million primarily comprised of underutilized rigs in our International drillingDrilling reportable segment. These impairments were deemed necessary due to the lack of future contractual opportunities because the rigs were smaller and lower horsepower than our newer rigs and also rigs competing in an overcrowded offshore market.
Transaction related costs
During 2017, we incurred $21.6 million in transaction related costs, including professional fees, severances, facility closure costs and other cost rationalization items, primarily in connection with the acquisition of Tesco.
59
Loss (gain) on early extinguishment of debt
During 2017, we repurchased $367.9 million aggregate principal amount of our senior notes. We paid the holders an aggregate of approximately $381.7 million in cash, reflecting principal and accrued and unpaid interest and prepayment premium and recognized a loss of $16.0 million as part of the debt extinguishment. See Note 11—10—Debt for additional discussion.

Note 4 Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement
For the year ended December 31, 2016
Throughout the first half of 2016,On September 13, 2019, we experienced decreased demand for our services as well as increased pricing pressure. Although there wasentered into a slight uptick in activity over the latter half of 2016, management evaluated our existing rig fleet and identified asset classes that may not fully participate in the next drilling cycle given the current requirements of many drilling programs and other factors. This resulted in both the provision for retirement of assets and tangible asset impairments. The majority$250.0 million accounts receivable sales agreement (the “A/R Agreement”) whereby certain U.S. operating subsidiaries of the remaining charges are attributableCompany (collectively, the “Originators”), sold or contributed, and will on an ongoing basis continue to our previous investmentsell or contribute, certain of its domestic trade accounts receivables to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote, special purpose entity (the “SPE” and “Seller”). The SPE would in CJES, which experienced severeturn, sell, transfer, convey and assign to third-party financial institutions (the “Purchasers”), all the rights, title and operational difficultiesinterest in their business, and ultimately commenced voluntarily cases under chapter 11to its pool of eligible receivables. The sale of these receivables qualified for sale accounting treatment in accordance with ASC 860. During the period of this program, cash receipts from the Purchasers at the time of the U.S. Bankruptcy code in July 2016. These charges are outlined below.

During 2016, we retired certain classes of rigs and rig componentsactivities in our U.S., Canada and International drilling reportable segments and reduced their carrying value to their estimated salvage value. As a resultconsolidated statement of cash flows. Subsequent collections on the pledged receivables, which were not sold, will be classified as operating cash flows in our consolidated statement of cash flows at the time of collection.
Nabors Delaware and/or another subsidiary of Nabors will act as servicers of the sustained declinesold receivables. The servicers administer, collect and otherwise enforce these receivables and are compensated for doing so on terms that are generally consistent with what would be charged by an unrelated servicer. The servicers initially receive payments made by obligors on the receivables, then remit those payments in oil and gas pricesaccordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The servicers and the extended periodOriginators have contingent indemnification obligations to the SPE, and the SPE has contingent indemnification obligations to the Purchasers, in each case customary for transactions of reduced demand for some of our legacy asset classes, we retired 24 of our remaining SCR rigs withinthis type. These contingent indemnification obligations are guaranteed by the U.S. drilling reportable segment. We utilized someCompany pursuant to an Indemnification Guarantee in favor of the parts on these retired rigs to enhance and upgrade other existing rigs in our fleet. Additionally, we retired 7 older rigs in our Canada Drilling reportable segment. Within our International drilling reportable segment, we also retired various older, smaller and in some cases functionally obsolete rigs and yard assets.
In 2016, we also recorded impairments totaling $216.4 million primarily comprised of $163.2 millionPurchasers. The Purchasers have no recourse for underutilized rigs in our U.S. Drilling reportable segment as well as $12.7 million in our International drilling reportable segment. These impairments were deemed necessary due to the lack of future contractual opportunities because the rigs were smaller and lower horsepower than our newer rigs, which limits the rigs functional capabilities of drilling many of the more complex wells in the current environment. Included in the other amount was an impairment of $22.4 millionreceivables that we recognized related to our retained interest in the oil and gas properties located on the North Slope of Alaska to reduce the carrying value to fair value,are uncollectible as a result of the sustained decline in oil prices. The balanceinsolvency or inability to pay of the impairment charge primarily relatesaccount debtors.
The maximum purchase commitment of the Purchasers under the A/R Agreement is $250.0 million. The amount available for sale to obsolete inventory and various rig-related equipment within our Rig Technologies reportable segment.
Other-than-temporary impairment
During 2016, we recognized impairment charges associated with our CJES holdings in the Purchasers under the A/R Agreement fluctuates over time based on the total amount of $216.2eligible receivables generated during the normal course of business after excluding excess concentrations and certain other ineligible receivables. As of December 31, 2019, the total amount of eligible receivables available for purchase by the Purchasers was $171.7 million, resultingof which $140.0 million had been sold to the Purchasers. Trade accounts receivable sold by the SPE to the Purchasers are derecognized from declines in theour condensed consolidated balance sheet. The fair value of our investment including other than temporary impairment charges of $192.4 million. Additionally, we recorded a charge relatedthe sold receivables approximated book value due to a reserve of certain other amounts associated with our CJES holdings, including affiliate receivables of $23.8 million.
60
The balancethe short-term nature of the charge was related to an impairment of an equity security during the third quarter of 2016. As the trading price of the security remained below our cost basis for an extended period, we determined the investment was other than temporarily impairedreceivables and, it was appropriate to write down the investment’s carrying value to its current estimated fair value. See Note 9—Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates.
Loss (gain) on early extinguishment of debt
During 2016, we repurchased $152.7 million aggregate principal amount of our senior notes. We paid the holders an aggregate of approximately $157.5 million in cash, reflecting principal and accrued and unpaid interest and prepayment premium and recognized a gain as part of the debt extinguishment. See Note 11—Debt for additional discussion.
For the year ended December 31, 2015
Throughout 2015, our industry continued to experience depressed oil prices, which led to considerable reductions in capital spending by some of our customers and diminished demand for our drilling services. The impact of the industry downturn on our business activity and future outlook resulted in impairments and retirement provisions of approximately $140.1 million, an other-than-temporary impairment on our investment in CJES of $180.6 million, and the provision for International operations of $48.3 million during 2015 as discussed below.

During 2015, we retired some rigs and rig components in our U.S., Canada and International drilling reportable segments and reduced their carrying value to their estimated salvage value. Due to market conditions and resulting competitive drilling market, we experienced a decline in utilization of our remaining legacy rigs. Accordingly, we retired roughly half of our fleet of SCR rigs within the U.S. Drilling reportable segment, continuing to market the remaining 47 of our most competitive assets within this group. Additionally, we retired various yard assets within our International reportable segment as well as rig-related equipment in our Canada reportable segment.
In 2015, we also recorded impairments totaling $74.5 million primarily comprised of $52.5 million for an inactive jackup rig in our International reportable segment. We recognized an impairment of $15.1 million to our retained interest in the oil and gas properties located on the North Slope of Alaska to reduce the carrying value to fair value, as a result, 0 gain or loss on the sale of the sustained decline in oil prices. The balance of the impairment charge primarily relates to obsolete inventory within our Rig Technologies reportable segment.
Other-than-temporary impairment
During the third quarter of 2015, we determined the carrying value of our investment in CJESreceivables was other than temporarily impaired which resulted in an impairment charge of $180.6 million. The charge directly resulted from reduced activity levels driven by lower customer demand stemming from lower oil prices coupled with the further pricing concessions requiredrecorded. Trade receivables pledged by the highly competitive environment. See Note 9—Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates.
61
Provision for International operations
During 2015, we recognized $25.4 million related to assets and receivables impacted by the degradation of the overall country economy and financial situation in Venezuela, which has been adversely affected by the downturn in oil prices, primarily comprised of a loss of $10.0 million relatedSPE as collateral to the remeasurement of our net monetary assets denominated in local currency from the official exchange rate of 6.3 Bolivares per US dollarPurchasers (excluding receivables sold to the SIMADI exchange rate which was 199 Bolivares per US dollar as of September 30, 2015 and $15.4Purchasers) totaled $143.6 million related to the write-off of a receivable balance. The balance of this provision represents an obligation associated with the decision to exit a non-core business line in another country within the region of $22.9 million.
Note 4 Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
Assets Held for Sale
Assets held for sale as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 was $37.1 million and $76.7 million, respectively. These assets consisted primarily of our oil and gas holdings which are mainly in the Horn River basin in western Canada of $25.9 million and $65.0 million, respectively, as of the periods noted above and the operating results have been reflected in discontinued operations. The remainder represents assets that meet the criteria to be classified as assets held for sale, but do not represent a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity representing a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the entity's operations and financial results.
The carrying value of our assets held for sale represents the lower of carrying value or fair value less costs to sell. We continue to market these properties at prices that are reasonable compared to current fair value.
We have contracts with pipeline companies to pay specified fees based on committed volumes for gas transport and processing associated with these properties held for sale. At December 31, 2017, our undiscounted contractual commitments for these contracts approximated $11.2 million, and we had total liabilities of $8.5 million, $6.1 million of which were classified as current2019 and are included in accrued liabilities. At December 31, 2016,accounts receivable, net in our undiscounted contractual commitmentscondensed consolidated balance sheet. The assets of the SPE cannot be used by the Company for these contracts approximated $17.2general corporate purposes. Additionally, creditors of the SPE do not have recourse to assets of the Company (other than assets of the SPE).

Note 5 Acquisitions
2018 Acquisitions
On October 3, 2018, we purchased PetroMar Technologies, a small developer and operator of LWD downhole tools focusing on high-value formation data to facilitate completion optimization particularly in unconventional reservoirs. The tools complement our existing wellbore placement capabilities and will be included in our Drilling Solutions operating segment. Under the terms of the transaction, we paid an initial purchase price of $25.0 million. We may also be required to make future payments that are contingent upon the future financial performance of this operation. As part of our purchase price allocation, we have recorded intangible assets of $36.2 million ($13.7 million of developed technology, $21.7 million of in process research and development and $0.8 million for tradename), goodwill of approximately $11.4 million and we had totalother liabilities of $12.5$22.6 million $5.5 million(net of which were classified as current and are included in accrued liabilities.
The amounts at each balance sheet date represented our bestother working capital items) primarily related to the estimate of contingent payments on future financial performance as noted above. The pro forma effect on revenue and net income (loss) have been determined to be immaterial to our financial statements. After further tests, the fair valueacquisition is not significant and as such we have not included disclosures of the excess capacityallocation 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 productionpurchase price or natural gas prices could result in future charges related to excess pipeline commitments.any pro forma information.

Note 5 Acquisitions
2017 Acquisitions
Robotic Drilling Systems
On September 5, 2017 we paid approximately $50.7 million in cash, subject to customary closing adjustments, to acquire Robotic Drilling Systems AS (“RDS”), a provider of automated tubular and tool handling equipment for the onshore and offshore drilling markets based in Stavanger, Norway. This transaction will allow us to integrate RDS’s highly capable team and product offering with the technology portfolio of Canrigour Rig Technologies segment and strengthens the development of Canrig’sour drilling automation solutions. As part of our purchase price allocation, we have recorded intangible assets of $53.3 million ($20.8 million of developed technology and $32.5 million of in process research and development), goodwill of approximately $5.7 million and other liabilities of $7.3 million (net of other working capital items). The intangible assets related to developed technology are being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 10 years. We have consolidated the operating results of RDS since the acquisition date and reported those results in our Rig Technologies segment. The pro forma effect on revenue and net income (loss) have been determined to be immaterial to our financial statements. Further, tests of significance for this acquisition do not result in a significant acquisition and as such we have not included disclosures of the allocation of the purchase price or any pro forma information.
Tesco Corporation
On December 15, 2017, Nabors completed the acquisition of Tesco Corporation (“Tesco”). Tesco’s tubular services business will benefitbenefits our Drilling Solutions segment as we expandexpanded into numerous key regions globally. Additionally, the acquisition combined Tesco’s rig equipment manufacturing, rental and aftermarket service business into our Rig Technologies segment, creating a leading rig equipment and drilling automation provider. Under the terms of the acquisition, Nabors acquired all common shares of Tesco in an all-stock transaction, with Tesco shareholders receiving 0.68 common shares of Nabors for each Tesco share owned, or approximately 32.1 million Nabors common shares. The fair value of common shares issued was $179.0 million based on the closing price of Nabors common shares as of the last trading day prior to the issuance as stipulated in the acquisition agreement.

2015 Acquisitions
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. Previously, we held a 51% equity interest with a carrying value of $44.7 million and we had accounted for the joint venture as an equity method investment. The acquisition of the remaining interest allows us to strategically align our future growth in this market by providing additional flexibility to invest capital and pursue future investment opportunities. As a result, we consolidated the assets and liabilities of Nabors Arabia on May 24, 2015 based on their respective fair values. We have also consolidated the operating results of Nabors Arabia since the acquisition date and reported those results in our International drilling segment. The excess of the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities over the net carrying value of our previously held equity interest resulted in a gain of $2.3 million and was reflected in other, net in the consolidated statement of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2015.
The following table provides the allocation of the purchase price as of the acquisition date. The purchase price was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on fair value. The excess of the purchase price over such fair values was recorded as goodwill.

The goodwill recognized as a result of the acquisition of $75.6 million is primarily attributable to the workforce of the acquired business, strategic market access, ability to provide other services and products, a strategic customer with a long history of business and the expected synergies from combining the operations. This goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes. The identifiable intangible asset of $28.8 million and liability of $13.5 million consist of the fair value of the acquired favorable and unfavorable contracts, respectively, with a weighted-average amortization period of 2 years.

We included an additional $248.9 million in operating revenues and $6.0 million in earnings from the acquisition date through December 31, 2015 in our consolidated statements of income (loss) as a result of this acquisition.
Note 6 Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market‑corroborated,market-corroborated, or generally unobservable. We primarily apply the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavor to utilize the best information available. Accordingly, we employ valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The use of unobservable inputs is intended to allow for fair value determinations in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. We are able to classify fair value balances utilizing a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of those inputs. Under the fair value hierarchy:
| Level 1 measurements include unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market; |
| Level 2 measurements include quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that have been adjusted for items such as effects of restrictions for transferability and those that are not quoted but are observable through corroboration with observable market data, including quoted market prices for similar assets; and |
| Level 3 measurements include those that are unobservable and of a subjective nature. |
The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, ourOur financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2017.2019 and 2018 consisted 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 2017,2019, there were no0 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. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, our short-term investments were carried at fair market value and totaled $16.5 million and $34.0 million, respectively, and primarily consisted of Level 1 measurements. No material Level 2 or Level 3 measurements exist as of any of the periods presented.

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‑livedlong-lived assets and assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination andcombination. Based upon our pipeline contractual commitment.review of the fair value hierarchy, the inputs used in these fair value measurements were considered Level 3 inputs.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We estimate the fair value of our financial instruments in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The fair value of our long‑termlong-term debt and revolving credit facility and commercial paperfacilities is estimated based on quoted market prices or prices

Note 7 Share‑BasedShare-Based Compensation
Total share‑basedshare-based compensation expense, which includes stock options and restricted shares, totaledwas $24.7 million, $26.4 million and $31.9 million $32.0 millionfor 2019, 2018 and $47.3 million for 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Compensation expense related to awards of restricted shares totaled $24.5 million, $26.0 million and $31.4 million $31.3 millionfor 2019, 2018 and $37.0 million for 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively, which is included in direct costs and general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of income (loss). Additionally, we recognized $8.7 million of expense related to awards of restricted shares granted in connection with the closing of the CJES merger during 2015 which is included in other, net in our consolidated statement of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2015. Share-based compensation expense has been allocated to our various reportable segments. See Note 21—19—Segment Information.
In addition to the time-based restricted stock share-based awards, historically we provide twohave provided 2 types of performance share awards: the first, based on our performance measured against pre-determined performance metrics (“Performance Shares”) and the second, based on market conditions measured against a predetermined peer group.group (“TSR Shares”). The performance period for the awards granted in 20172019 commenced on January 1, 20162018 and ended December 31, 2016.2018.
Stock Option Plans
As of December 31, 2017,2019, we had several stock plans under which options to purchase our common shares could be granted to key officers, directors and managerial employees of Nabors and its subsidiaries. Options granted under the plans generally are at prices equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of the grant. Options granted under the plans generally are exercisable in varying cumulative periodic installments after one year. In the case
61
of certain key executives and directors, options granted may vest immediately on the grant date. Options granted under
67
the plans cannot be exercised more than ten years from the date of grant. Options to purchase 6.88.5 million and 8.015.2 million Nabors common shares remained available for grant as of December 31, 20172019 and 2016,2018, respectively. Of the common shares available for grant as of December 31, 2017,2019, approximately 5.77.7 million of these shares are also available for issuance in the form of restricted shares.
The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model which uses assumptions for the risk-free interest rate, volatility, dividend yield and the expected term of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for a period equal to the expected term of the option. Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from traded options on Nabors’ common shares, historical volatility of Nabors’ common shares, and other factors. We use historical data to estimate the expected term of the options and employee terminations within the option-pricing model; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of the options represents the period of time that the options granted are expected to be outstanding.

Until shares are granted, our Performance Share awards that are earned based on performance conditions are liability-classified awards. Our accrued liabilities included $2.4 million for such awards at December 31, 2019 for the performance period beginning January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019 and $2.2 million for such awards at December 31, 20172018 for the performance period beginning January 1, 20172018 through December 31, 2017 and $2.5 million for such awards at December 31, 2016 for the performance period beginning January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016.2018. The fair value of these awards that vested during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017 2016 and 2015 was $7.1$2.5 million, $1.5$4.8 million and $6.8$7.1 million, respectively. The fair value of these liability-classified awards are estimated at each reporting period, based on internal metrics and marked to market.
Restricted Shares Based on Market Conditions
During 2017, 20162019, 2018 and 2015,2017, we granted awards for 2,609,561, 1,058,158 and 397,692 749,427 and 544,925 restricted shares,TSR Shares, respectively, which are equity classified awards and will vest on our performance compared to our peer group over a three-year period. These awards had an aggregate fair value at their date of grant of $4.4$3.7 million, $4.2$5.1 million and $4.7$4.4 million, respectively, after consideration of all assumptions.

Note 9 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 ($650.0 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.
On July 20, 2016, CJES and certain of its subsidiaries commenced voluntarily cases under chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy code. Prior to the bankruptcy reorganization, we had significant influence over CJES, but not a controlling financial interest, and accounted for our investment in CJES under the equity method of accounting. As a result of the chapter 11 filing, beginning in the third quarter of 2016, we ceased accounting for our investment in CJES as an equity method investment and began to report this investment at our estimated fair value as we did not expect to have a meaningful continuing interest in CJES. We wrote off the remaining carrying value of our investment in CJES during the second quarter of 2016, and as such, there was no impact to our consolidated financial statements as a result of the change in accounting.
Historical Treatment of the Completion & Production Services business and our investment in CJES
Prior to the merger, we consolidated the results of our Completion & Production Services business into our operating results. As a result of the merger, CJES became an unconsolidated affiliate and we ceased consolidating 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 was recorded as earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statements of income (loss) through June 30, 2016. Our policy was to record our share of the net income (loss) of CJES on a one-quarter lag as were not able to obtain the financial information of CJES on a timely basis. The equity in earnings from CJES, which is reflected in
71
earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statement of income (loss) was as follows for the periods noted below:

Nabors' share of equity method earnings (losses) |
|
| $ | (221,933) |
| $ | (81,260) |
|
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. During 2015, we recorded a post-closing adjustment of $5.5 million attributable to the settlement of certain working capital requirements at the completion of the transition period.
We recorded our investment in the equity of CJES in the investment in unconsolidated affiliates line in our consolidated balance sheet. Our policy is to 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. As a result of this review, during the first quarter of 2016, 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 of $93.8 million, 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. Similarly, during 2015, we recorded an other than temporary impairment charge of $180.6 million. These other-than-temporary impairments are reflected in impairments and other charges in our consolidated statements of income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. See Note 3—Impairments and Other Charges.
As a result of CJES’s Chapter 11 filing on July 20, 2016, we determined our investment was other than temporarily impaired as of June 30, 2016 and recorded a charge of $39.0 million to write off substantially all of the remaining net book value of our investment. These charges are reflected in impairments and other charges in our consolidated statement of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2016. We also recognized an additional $9.1 million in professional fees incurred in connection with our efforts to preserve the value of our CJES holdings in anticipation of the bankruptcy filing. These charges are reflected in other, net in our consolidated statement of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2016. Pursuant to a mediated settlement agreement we entered into with various other parties in the CJES bankruptcy proceedings, we agreed to support the debtors' chapter 11 plan of reorganization in exchange for: (i) two allowed unsecured claims for which we will receive distributions of up to $4.85 million; (ii) an amendment to the tax matters agreement providing that CJES pay up to $11.5 million of obligations for which we would have otherwise been responsible; (iii) cancellation of various other obligations we had to the debtors; (iv) our pro rata share of warrants to acquire 2% of the common equity in the reorganized debtors at a strike price of $1.55 billion; and (v) a mutual release of claims. The bankruptcy court approved the terms of the Settlement Agreement and confirmed the debtors' plan and, on January 6, 2017, CJES announced it had emerged from bankruptcy.
The tables below present summarized financial information for our investments in unconsolidated affiliates. As we wrote off the remaining carrying value of our investment in CJES during the second quarter of 2016, we did not record our share of the earnings (losses) of CJES for the three months ended June 30, 2016 in our consolidated statement of income (loss) during the year ended December 31, 2016 as we are not contractually responsible for losses beyond our investment.

Note 109 Financial Instruments and Risk Concentration
We may be exposed to certain market risks arising from the use of financial instruments in the ordinary course of business. These risks arise primarily as a result of potential changes in the fair market value of financial instruments that would result from adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, credit risk, interest rates, and marketable and non‑marketablenon-marketable security prices as discussed below.
Foreign Currency Risk
We operate in a number of international areas and are involved in transactions denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars, which exposes us to foreign exchange rate risk or foreign currency devaluation risk. The most significant exposures arise in connection with our operations in Argentina and Canada, which usually are substantially unhedged.
At various times, we utilize local currency borrowings (foreign‑currency‑denominated(foreign-currency-denominated debt), the payment structure of customer contracts and foreign exchange contracts to selectively hedge our exposure to exchange rate fluctuations in connection with monetary assets, liabilities, cash flows and commitments denominated in certain foreign currencies. A foreign exchange contract is a foreign currency transaction, defined as an agreement to exchange different currencies at a given future date and at a specified rate.
Credit Risk
Our financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, short-term and long‑termlong-term investments and accounts receivable. Cash equivalents such as deposits and temporary cash investments are held by major banks or investment firms. Our short‑termshort-term and long‑termlong-term investments are managed within established guidelines that limit the amounts that may be invested with any one issuer and provide guidance as to issuer credit quality. We believe that the credit risk in our cash and investment portfolio is minimized as a result of the mix of our investments. In addition, our trade receivables are with a variety of U.S., international and foreign‑country
65
foreign-country national oil and gas companies. Management considers this credit risk to be limited due to the financial resources of these companies. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, and we generally do not require material collateral. We do occasionally require prepayment of amounts from customers whose creditworthiness is in question prior to providing services to them. We maintain reserves for potential credit losses, and these losses historically have been within management’s expectations.
Interest Rate and Marketable and Non‑marketableNon-marketable Security Price Risk
Our financial instruments that are potentially sensitive to changes in interest rates include our floating rate debt instruments (ourcomprised of our revolving credit facility and Nabors Delaware term loan which was repaid in part in December 2016 with the remainder repaid in January 2017)facilities and our fixed rate debt securities comprised of our 2.35%, 6.15%, 9.25%, 5.0%, 4.625%, 5.50%, 5.10% and 5.10%5.75% senior notes.
We may utilize derivative financial instruments that are intended to manage our exposure to interest rate risks. The use of derivative financial instruments could expose us to further credit risk and market risk. Credit risk in this context is the failure of a counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty would owe us, which can create credit risk for us. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we would owe the counterparty, and therefore, we would not be exposed to credit risk. We attempt to minimize credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with major financial institutions that have a significant asset base. Market risk related to derivatives is the adverse effect on the value of a
73
financial instrument that results from changes in interest rates. We try to manage market risk associated with interest‑rateinterest-rate contracts by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the type and degree of market risk that we undertake.

In the event of a change in control triggering event, as defined in the indenture, the holders of notes may require Nabors Delaware to purchase all or any part of each note in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase, except to the extent Nabors Delaware has exercised its right to redeem the notes. The notes have customary covenants, including limitations on the incurrence of liens and entering into sale and leaseback transactions as well as customary events of default.
During 2017, 20162019, 2018 and 2015,2017, we repurchased $367.9$468.3 million, $152.7$873.0 million, and $27.5$367.9 million aggregate principal amount of our senior unsecured notes for approximately $381.7$461.1 million, $157.5$906.5 million and $27.5$381.7 million, respectively, in cash, reflecting principal, accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with such repurchases, during 2019 we recognized a net gain of approximately $11.5 million. During 2018 and 2017 we recognized net losses of approximately $5.3 million and $16.0 million, respectively, which represents the premiums paid in connection with these repurchases or redemptions. These amounts are included in impairments and other charges in our consolidated statement of income (loss).

In January 2020, Nabors completed a private placement offering of $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior guaranteed notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior guaranteed notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes” and, together with the 2026 Notes, the “notes”). The 2026 and 2028 Notes will bear interest at an annual rate of 7.25% and 7.50%, respectively. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain of Nabors’ indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. The proceeds from this offering were used primarily to repurchase $952.9 million aggregate principal amount, for a net premium of $2.7 million (excluding accrued interest) certain of Nabors Delaware’s senior notes that were tendered pursuant to the previously announced offer to purchase and consent solicitation. The aggregate principal amount repurchased included approximately $407.7 million of our 5.50% senior notes due 2023, $379.7 million of our 4.625% senior notes due 2021 and $165.5 million of our 5.10% senior notes due 2023. The remaining proceeds were used to pay for transactional fees and for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of other debt. We also repurchased in the open market, aside from the tender offer, approximately $21.2 million aggregate principal amount of our various senior notes.
0.75% Senior Exchangeable Notes Due January 2024
In January 2017, Nabors Industries, Inc.Delaware issued $575$575.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 0.75% exchangeable senior unsecured notes due 2024, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Nabors. The notes bear interest at a rate of 0.75% per year payable semiannually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2017. The exchangeable notes are bifurcated for accounting purposes into debt and equity components of $411.2 million and $163.8 million, respectively, based on the relative fair value at the issuance date. Debt issuance costs of $9.6 million and equity issuance costs of $3.9 million were capitalized in connection with the issuance of these notes in long-term debt and netted against the proceeds allocated to the equity component, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheet. The debt issuance costs are being amortized through January 2024.
The exchangeable notes are exchangeable, under certain conditions, at an initial exchange rate of 39.75 common shares of Nabors per $1,000 principal amount of exchangeable notes (equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $25.16 per common share). Upon any exchange, Nabors Delaware will settle its exchange obligation in cash, common shares of Nabors, or a combination of cash and common shares, at our election.
In connection with the pricing of the notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions which are expected to reduce potential dilution to common shares and/or offset potential cash payments required to be made in excess of the principal amount upon any exchange of notes. Such reduction and/or offset is subject to a cap representing a price per share of $31.45, an approximately 75.0% premium over our share price of $17.97 as of the pricing date of the transaction. The capped call meets the definition of a derivative under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, as it has an underlying (the Company’s share price), a notional amount (the number of underlying shares to be purchased per option), an initial net investment less (by more than a nominal amount) than the amount that would have to be paid to own the underlying and provides for a default net share settlement (but could also be settled in cash at the election of the Company). However, the capped call meets the derivative scope exception under ASC 815 for instruments indexed to the Company’s own stock and classified in shareholders’ equity and therefore was initially recorded in equity. Until such time as the Company elects a settlement method for the exchangeable notes, the capped call transaction will continue to be accounted for as equity. At conversion, if the Company elects to partially settle the notes in cash in excess of the principal amount, or fully in cash, the capped call will be subject to mark to market through earnings as a derivative until such settlement is paid.
The net proceeds from the offering of the exchangeable notes were used to prepay the remaining balance of our unsecured term loan originally scheduled to mature in 2020, as well as to pay the cost of the capped call transactions. The remaining net proceeds from the offering were allocated for general corporate purposes, including to repurchase or repay other indebtedness.

The decreaseincrease in tax expense during 2019 compared to 2018 was primarily attributable to the change in our geographic mix of pre-tax earnings (losses). The ratio of pre-tax earnings in certain high tax reserves during 2017jurisdictions compared to low or zero tax jurisdictions increased in 2019 compared to 2018, resulting in an increase in income tax expense. This increase was primarily due topartially offset by certain discrete items. During 2019, we recognized a $29.6 million tax benefit from the release of reserves duea valuation allowance in one of our foreign jurisdictions related to favorable audit outcomes during the yearnet operating loss carryforwards. This was partially offset by a $14.4 million settlement of $167.0 million. As a resulttax dispute in one of the Tax Reform Act,our foreign jurisdictions. During 2018, we were requiredrecognized a non-cash expense of $52.0 million to revaluereflect a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets and liabilities from 35 percent to 21 percent which resulted in a provision of $138.6 million to income tax expense. We believe the other provisions of the Tax Reform Act did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.Canada.
Our preliminary estimate of the Tax Reform Act and the remeasurement of our deferred tax assets and liabilities is subject to the finalization of management’s analysis related to certain matters, such as developing interpretations of the provisions of the Tax Reform Act, changes to certain estimates and the filing of our tax returns. U.S. Treasury regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions interpreting the Tax Reform Act may require further adjustments and changes in our estimates. The final determination of the Tax Reform Act and the remeasurement of our deferred assets and liabilities will be completed as additional information becomes available, but no later than one year from the enactment of the Tax Reform Act in accordance with SAB 118.

For U.S.As of December 31, 2019 we had federal, income tax purposes, we havestate, and foreign net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards of approximately $398.0$418.3 million, that, if not utilized,$1.1 billion and 10.9 billion, respectively. Of those amounts, $3.7 billion will expire between 20312020 and 2036. The NOL carryforwards for alternative minimum tax purposes are approximately $383.0 million. Additionally, we have NOL carryforwards in other jurisdictions of approximately $7.1 billion of which $550.0 million,2040 if not utilized, will expire at various times from 2018 to 2037.utilized. We provide a valuation allowance against NOL carryforwards in various tax jurisdictions based on our consideration of existing temporary differences and expected future earning levels in those jurisdictions. We have recorded a deferred tax asset of approximately $1.71 billion as of December 31, 2017 relating to NOL carryforwards that have an indefinite life in several non‑U.S. jurisdictions. A valuation allowance of approximately $1.70$2.6 billion has been recognized becauserelated to certain NOL carryforwards as we believe it is more likely than not that substantially allthe benefit of the deferred tax assetthese NOL carryforwards will not be realized.
In addition, for state income tax purposes, we have NOL carryforwards71

If the reservesunrecognized tax benefits of $33.2$25.7 million are not realized, this would favorably impact the worldwide effective tax rate. As of December 31, 2017, 20162019, 2018 and 2015,2017, we had approximately $9.7$7.7 million, $9.2$6.7 million and $7.4$9.7 million, respectively, of interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. During 2017, 20162019, 2018 and 2015,2017, we accrued and recognized estimated interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions of approximately $0.5$0.8 million, $0.6$1.0 million and $1.4$0.5 million, respectively. We include potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions within our global operations in the income tax expense (benefit) line item in our consolidated statements of income (loss).
It is reasonably possible that our existing liabilities related to our reserve for uncertain tax positions may increase or decrease in the next twelve months primarily due to the completion of open audits or the expiration of statutes of limitation. However, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of changes in our existing liabilities due to various uncertainties, such as the unresolved nature of various audits.
We conduct business globally and, as a result, we file numerous income tax returns in the U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions. In the normal course of business we are subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including major jurisdictions such as Algeria, Canada, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and the United States. We are no longer subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations for years before 20152016 and non-U.S. income tax examinations for years before 2007.
Note 13 12 Shareholders’ Equity
Common Sharesshares
During 2017 and 2016, with approval of the Board, we repurchased 3.1 million and 0.3 million, respectively, of our common shares in the open market for $18.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, all of which are held by our subsidiaries, and which are accounted for as treasury shares.
Our authorized share capital consists of 825,000,000825.0 million shares of which 800,000,000800.0 million are common shares, par value $0.001 per share, and 25,000,00025.0 million are preferred shares, par value $0.001 per share. No preferred shares were issued or outstanding as of December 31, 2017. The preferred shares are issuable in one or more classes or series, full, limited or no voting rights, designations, preferences, special rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions, as may be determined by the Board.
During 2018, we issued 40.25 million of our common shares at a price to the public of $7.75 per share. Nabors received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $301.4 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses.
During 2017, with approval of the Board, we repurchased 3.1 million of our common shares in the open market for $18.1 million, all of which are held by our subsidiaries, and which are accounted for as treasury shares.
From time to time, treasury shares may be reissued. When shares are reissued, we use the weighted‑average‑costweighted-average-cost method for determining cost. The difference between the cost of the shares and the issuance price is added to or deducted from our capital in excess of par value account. NoNaN shares have been reissued during 2017, 20162019, 2018 or 2015.
In 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Compensation Committee of our Board granted restricted share awards to some of our executive officers, other key employees, and independent directors. We awarded 1,989,915, 3,919,696, and 3,530,033 restricted shares at an average market price of $13.08, $9.85 and $10.09 to these individuals for 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. See Note 7—Share-Based Compensation for a summary of our restricted stock and option awards as of December 31, 2017.
In 2016 and 2017, our Board declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.06 per outstanding common share. The aggregate amount paid in 2016 for dividends was $50.9 million. The aggregate amount paid in 2017 for dividends was $68.5 million. The fourth quarter 2017 dividend was paid on January 3, 2018 in the amount of $17.1 million.

Convertible Preferred Shares
During 2018, we issued 5.75 million (including the underwriters option for .75 million) of our 6% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Shares (the “mandatory convertible preferred shares”), par value $.001 per share, with a liquidation preference of $50 per share. Nabors received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $277.9 million after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and offering expenses. During 2019, we repurchased 136,772 of our mandatory convertible preferred shares for approximately $2.9 million.
The dividends on the mandatory convertible preferred shares are payable on a cumulative basis at a rate of 6% annually on the initial liquidation preference of $50 per share. Dividends accumulate and are paid quarterly to the extent that we have available funds and our Board of Directors declares a dividend payable. We may elect to pay any accumulated and unpaid dividends in cash or common shares or any combination thereof. At issuance, each mandatory convertible preferred share was automatically convertible into between 5.3763 and 6.4516 of our common shares based on the average share price over a period of twenty consecutive trading days ending prior to May 1, 2021, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. As a result of the dividends paid on our common shares since the offering, the conversion rate for each mandatory convertible preferred share has been adjusted to between 5.6751 and 6.8102 of our common shares. At any time prior to May 1, 2021, a holder of mandatory convertible preferred shares may convert such mandatory convertible preferred shares into our common shares at the minimum conversion rate, subject to adjustment.
On February 20, 2020, a cash dividend of $0.75 per mandatory convertible preferred share was declared for shareholders of record on April 15, 2020 and will be paid on May 1, 2020.
Note 1413 Joint Ventures
During 2016, we entered into an agreement with Saudi Aramco, to form a new joint venture, SANAD, to own, manage and operate onshore drilling rigs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. SANAD, which is equally owned by Saudi Aramco and Nabors, began operations during the fourth quarter of 2017.
During 2017, Nabors and Saudi Aramco each contributed $20 million in cash for the purpose of capitalizing the joint venture upon formation. In addition, during 2017since inception Nabors and Saudi Aramco have each contributed a combination of drilling rigs, drilling rig equipment and other assets, including cash, each with a value of approximately $204$394 million to the joint ventureventure. The contributions were received in exchange for redeemable ownership interests which accrue interest annually, have a twenty-five year maturity and are required to be converted to authorized capital should certain events occur, including the accumulation of specified losses. In the accompanying consolidated balance sheet Nabors has reported Saudi Aramco’s share of authorized capital as a component of noncontrolling interest in equity and Saudi Aramco’s share of the redeemable ownership interests as redeemable noncontrolling interests in subsidiary, classified as mezzanine equity.
The condensed balance sheet of SANAD, as included in our consolidated balance sheet, is presented below.

Note 15 Pension, Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits
Pension Plans
In conjunction with our acquisition of Pool Energy Services Co. (“Pool”) in November 1999, we acquired the assets and liabilities of a defined benefit pension plan, the Pool Company Retirement Income Plan (the “Pool Pension Plan”). Benefits under the Pool Pension Plan are frozen and participants were fully vested in their accrued retirement benefit on December 31, 1998. The unfunded liability was $6.7 million and $7.3 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and our net periodic benefit expense was $1.2 million, $1.1 million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
During 2016, we launched a voluntary, one-time opportunity to buyout active employees and retirees who were eligible participants of the Pool Pension Plan. The total amount of payments to those who elected to take the buyout was approximately $10.3 million and such payments were made from pension plan assets. Additionally, we recognized a charge related to the buyout of approximately $3.0 million, which is reflected in other, net in our consolidated statement of income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2016. Due to the immateriality of the costs and liabilities of this plan, no further disclosure is presented.

Note 14 Related-Party Transactions
Note 16 Related‑Party Transactions
Nabors and certain current and former key employees, including Mr. Petrello, entered into split‑dollarsplit-dollar life insurance agreements, pursuant to which we pay a portion of the premiums under life insurance policies with respect to these individuals and, in some instances, members of their families. These agreements provide that we are reimbursed for the premium payments upon the occurrence of specified events, including the death of an insured individual. Any recovery of premiums paid by Nabors could be limited to the cash surrender value of the policies under certain circumstances. As such, the values of these policies are recorded at their respective cash surrender values in our consolidated balance sheets. We have made premium payments to date totaling $6.6 million related to these policies. The cash surrender value of these policies of approximately $6.0$5.5 million is included in other long‑termlong-term assets in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 20172019 and 2016.2018.
Under the Sarbanes‑OxleySarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the payment of premiums by Nabors under the agreements could be deemed to be prohibited loans by us to these individuals. Consequently, we have paid no0 premiums related to our agreements with these individuals since the adoption of the Sarbanes‑OxleySarbanes-Oxley Act.
In the ordinary course of business, we enter into various rig leases, rig transportation and related oilfield services agreements with our unconsolidated affiliates at market prices. Historically, these transactions primarily related to our former equity method investment in Nabors Arabia. See Note 5 — Acquisitions. During 2017, our joint venture with Saudi Aramco, SANAD, began operations. As such, we have included transactions with Saudi Aramco effective as of the commencement of operations of SANAD. See Note 1413 — Joint Ventures. During 2015, we entered into a Transition Services Agreement with CJES, which expired on December 31, 2015. Revenues from business transactions with these affiliated entities totaled $672.9 million, $723.8 million and $65.7 million for 2019, 2018 and $142.2 million for 2017, and 2015, respectively. Expenses from business transactions with these affiliated entities totaled $0.2 million and $0.1 million for 20172018 and 2016.2017. Additionally, we had accounts receivable from these affiliated entities of $54.2$80.6 million and $122.9 million as of December 31, 2017,2019 and $0.1 million as of December 31, 2016. We had accounts payable to these affiliated entities of $0.1 million as of December 31, 2016 and long‑term payables with these affiliated entities of $0.8 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, which are included in other long-term liabilities.2018.
In addition, Mr. Crane, one of our independent directors, is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Crane Capital Group Inc. (“CCG”), an investment company that indirectly owns a majority interest in several operating companies, some of which have provided services to us in the ordinary course of business, including international logistics and electricity. During 2017, 20162019, 2018 and 2015,2017, we made payments for these services of $14.6$18.9 million, $23.5$19.9 million and $33.7$14.6 million, respectively. We had accounts payable to these CCG‑relatedCCG-related companies of $0.8$2.4 million and $1.0$0.8 million as of December 31, 20172019 and 2016, respectively.2018.

Note 1715 Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
During 2016, we entered into anUnder the joint venture agreement with Saudi Aramco, to form a new joint venture to own, manage and operate onshore drilling rigs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The joint venture, which is equally owned by Saudi Aramco and Nabors, commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 2017. The joint venture leverages our established business in Saudi Arabia to begin operations, with a focus on Saudi Arabia's existing and future onshore oil and gas fields. During 2017, Nabors and Saudi Aramco each contributed $20 million in cash as the initial contribution upon formation of the joint venture. In addition, during 2017 Nabors and Saudi Aramco have each contributed approximately $204 million in a combination of drilling rigs, drilling rig equipment or other assets, including cash, to the joint venture in proportion to the respective party’s ownership interest. We have also agreed to contribute an additional five drilling rigs and related assets to the joint venture in January 2019. Additionally, the agreement requires us to backstop our share of the joint venture’s obligations to purchase the first 25 drilling rigs in the event that there is insufficient cash in the joint venture or third party financing available. Although we currently anticipate that the future rig purchase needs will be met by cash flows from the joint venture and/or third party financing, no assurance can be given that the joint venture will not require us to fund our backstop.
Leases
Nabors and its subsidiaries occupy various facilities and lease certain equipment under various lease agreements.

Premiums payable under the split‑dollar life insurance policies were suspended as a result of the adoption of the Sarbanes‑Oxley Act of 2002.
Contingencies
Income Tax Contingencies
We operate in a number of countries throughout the world and our tax returns filed in those jurisdictions are subject to review and examination by tax authorities within those jurisdictions. We do not recognize the benefit of income tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it ispositions we believe are more likely than not that theto be disallowed upon challenge by a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the tax position.authority. If any tax authority successfully challenges our operational structure, intercompany pricing policies or the taxable presence of our subsidiaries in certain
74
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 a tax authority in Latin America in connection with a 2007 income tax return. The assessment relates to the denial of depreciation expense deductions related to drilling rigs. Similar deductions were taken for tax year 2009. Although Nabors and its tax advisors believe these deductions are appropriate and intend to continue to defend our position, we have recorded a partial reserve to account for this contingency. If we ultimately do not prevail, we estimate that we would be required to recognize additional tax expense in the range of $3 million to $8 million.
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. 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. Our policies were renewed effective April 1, 2017 and remain subject to these same deductibles.
83
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.
Political risk insurance is procured for select operations in South America, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. Losses are subject to a $0.25 million deductible, except for Colombia, which is subject to a $0.5 million deductible. There is no assurance that such coverage will adequately protect Nabors against liability from all potential consequences.
As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, our self‑insurance accruals totaled $150.9 million and $157.4 million, respectively, and our related insurance recoveries/receivables were $29.0 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016.
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 March 2011, the Court of Ouargla entered a judgment of approximately $24.6$23.7 million (at December 31, 20172019 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 four4 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 $16.6$15.7 million in excess of amounts accrued.
On September 29, 2017, Nabors and Nabors Maple Acquisition Ltd.we were sued, along with Tesco Corporation and its Board of Directors, in a putative shareholder class action filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. The plaintiff alleges that the September 18, 2017 Preliminary Proxy Statement filed by Tesco with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission omitted material information with respect to the proposed transaction between Tesco and Nabors announced on August 14, 2017. The plaintiff claims that the omissions rendered the Proxy Statement false and misleading, constituting a violation of Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,1934. The court consolidated several matters and alleges liability byentered a lead plaintiff appointment order. The plaintiff filed their amended complaint, adding Nabors Industries Ltd. as a control personparty to the consolidated action. Nabors filed its motion to dismiss, which was granted by the court on March 29, 2019. The parties have filed appellate briefs with the Fifth Circuit Court of Tesco. DefendantsAppeals, and arguments have consolidatedbeen set for March 4, 2020. Nabors will continue to vigorously defend itself against the allegations.
Following a routine audit conducted in May and June of 2018 by the Atyrau Oblast Ecology Department (the “AOED”), our joint venture in Kazakhstan, KMG Nabors Drilling Company (“KNDC”), was administratively fined for not having emissions permits for KNDC owned or leased equipment. Prior to this case, captioned The Vladimir Gusinsky Rev. Trust et al. v. Tesco Corporation et al., No. 4:17-cv-02918 (S.D. Tex.) (Miller, J.) with two other matters recently filed makingaudit, the same or similar legal claims against Nabors and/or Tesco, captioned Panella v. Tesco Corporation et al., No. 4:17-cv-02904 (S.D. Tex.) (Bennett, J.)AOED had always accepted the operator’s permits for all of their subcontractors. However, because of major personnel changes, AOED changed this position and Norman Heinze v. Tesco Corporation et al., No. 4:17-cv-03029 (S.D. Tex).is now requiring that the owner/lessor of the equipment that emits the pollutants must have its own permits. Administrative fines has been issued to KNDC and paid in the amount of $0.8 million for violations regarding the failure to have proper permits. AOED had also assessed additional “environmental damages” in the amount of $3.4 million for the period while KNDC did not hold its’ own emissions permit. However, KNDC appealed this fine and the AOED Economic Court ruled in KNDC’s favor. AOED has appealed this decision. Additional damages in the form of later year audits and taxes could become due as well exposing KNDC to possible penalties and fines in an amount estimated to be up to approximately $4.0 million. In furtherance of this position, KNDC and the operator have executed an agreement formalizing the operator’s obligation to reimburse KNDC for all financial expenses related to this case.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements (Including Guarantees)
We are a party to some transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements defined as “off‑balance“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‑balanceoff-balance sheet arrangements involveinclude the A/R Agreement (see Note 4—Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement) and certain agreements and obligations under
84
which we provide financial or performance assurance to third parties. Certain of these agreementsfinancial or performance assurances 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 1816 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. The participating security holders are not contractually obligated to share in losses. Therefore, losses are not allocated to the participating security holders.
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. Shares issuable upon exchange of the $575$575.0 million 0.75% exchangeable notes are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings (losses) per share unless the exchange value of the notes exceeds their principal amount at the end of the relevant reporting period, in which case the notes will be accounted for as if the number of common shares that would be necessary to settle the excess are issued. Such shares are only included in the calculation of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding in our diluted earnings (losses) per share calculation, when the price of our shares exceeds $25.16 on the last trading day of the quarter, which did not occur during the year ended December 31, 2017.2019.

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‑dilutiveanti-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‑classtwo-class method of accounting in all periods because such stock is considered participating securities.

Additionally, we excluded 39.2 million common shares from the computation of diluted shares issuable upon the conversion of mandatory convertible preferred shares, because their effect would be anti-dilutive under the if-converted method.

Note 2119 Segment Information
During the fourth quarter of 2017, we effected a change in the reporting of our segments to better reflect our product offerings and growing significance of our Nabors Drilling Solutions business. The expansion of our tubular services offering attributable to the acquisition of Tesco during the fourth quarter, along with management’s increasing focus on the strategic aspect of this business and expectation of future growth, culminated in the decision to break this operation out into its own segment called Drilling Solutions. This operation was historically included within our Rig Services segment, which we have renamed Rig Technologies and now primarily reflects the oilfield equipment manufacturing, rental and aftermarket service business of Canrig. Our segment information has been revised to conform to the new reportable segments. Our business now consists of five5 reportable segments: U.S., Drilling, Canada Drilling, International Drilling, Drilling Solutions and Rig Technologies. The reportable segments within the Completion & Production Services business reflect historical operating information through the closing date of the merger with CJES.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. Inter-segment sales are recorded at cost or cost plus a profit margin. We evaluate the performance of our segments based on several criteria, including adjusted operating income (loss).

The following table sets forth financial information with respect to our reportable operating segments:

Note 20 Revenue Recognition
On January 1, 2018, we adopted Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606). Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. In addition, ASC 606 requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.
We elected to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective method to all contracts that were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for the prior period. There was no material impact to our consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting ASC 606. Revenues for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while revenues prior to January 1, 2018 continue to be reported under previous revenue recognition requirements of ASC 605.
We recognize revenue when control of a good or service promised in a contract (i.e., performance obligation) is transferred to a customer. Control is obtained when a customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good or service. Contract drilling revenues are recorded over time utilizing the input method based on time elapsed. The measurement of progress considers the transfer of the service to the customer as we provide daily drilling services. We receive payment after the services have been performed by billing customers periodically (typically monthly). However, a portion of our revenues are recognized at a point-in-time as control is transferred at a distinct point in time such as with the sale of our top drives and other capital equipment. Within our drilling contracts, we have identified one performance obligation in which the transaction price is allocated.
Disaggregation of revenue
In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by geographical region. The table also includes a reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue with the reportable segments:

Contract balances
We perform our obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring goods or services in exchange for consideration from the customer. We recognize a contract asset or liability when we transfer goods or services to a customer and bill an amount which differs from the revenue allocated to the related performance obligations.
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers and these timing differences result in receivables, contract assets, or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on our consolidated balance sheet. In general, we receive payments from customers based on dayrates as stipulated in our contracts (i.e. operating rate, standby rate). The invoices billed to the customer are based on the varying rates applicable to the operating status on each rig. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional.
Dayrate contracts also may contain fees charged to the customer for up-front rig modifications, mobilization and demobilization of equipment and personnel. These fees are associated with contract fulfillment activities, and the related revenue (subject to any constraint on estimates of variable consideration) is allocated to a single performance obligation and recognized ratably over the initial term of the contract. Mobilization fees are generally billable to the customer in the initial phase of a contract and generate contract liabilities until they are recognized as revenue. Demobilization fees are generally received at the end of the contract and generate contract assets when they are recognized as revenue prior to becoming receivables from the customer.
We receive reimbursements from our customers for the purchase of supplies, equipment, personnel services and other services provided at their request. Reimbursable revenues are variable and subject to uncertainty as the amounts received and timing thereof are dependent on factors outside of our influence. Accordingly, these revenues are constrained and not recognized until the uncertainty is resolved, which typically occurs when the related costs are incurred on behalf of the customer. We are generally considered a principal in these transactions and record the associated revenues at the gross amounts billed to the customer.
The opening and closing balances of our receivables, contract assets and current and long-term contract liabilities are as follows:

Approximately 65% of the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period was recognized as revenue during 2019 and 22% is expected to be recognized during 2020. The remaining 13% of the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period is expected to be recognized as revenue during 2021 or thereafter.
Additionally, 60% of the contract asset balance at the beginning of the period was recognized as expense during 2019 and 20% is expected to be recognized during 2020. The remaining 20% of the contract asset balance at the beginning of the period is expected to be recognized as expense during 2021 or thereafter. This disclosure does not include variable consideration allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation or promise to transfer a distinct good or service that forms part of a single performance obligation.
Note 21 Leases
Prior to January 1, 2019, we accounted for leases under ASC 840 and did not record any right of use asset or corresponding lease liability. We adopted ASC 842 using a modified retrospective approach with an effective date of January 1, 2019. As such, financial information for prior periods has not been adjusted and continues to be reported under ASC 840. Effective with the adoption of ASC 842, we have changed our accounting policy for leases as detailed below.
We have evaluated the provisions of ASC 842, including certain practical expedients allowed. The significant practical expedients we adopted include the following:
● | We elected the practical expedient to apply the transition approach as of the beginning of the period of adoption and not restate comparative periods; |
● | We elected to utilize the “package of three” expedients, as defined in ASC 842, whereby we did not reassess whether contracts existing prior to the effective date contain leases, nor did we reassess lease classification determinations nor whether initial direct costs qualify for capitalization; |
● | We elected the practical expedient to not capitalize any leases with initial terms of twelve months or less on our condensed consolidated balance sheet; |
● | For all underlying classes of leased assets, we elected the practical expedient to not separate lease and non-lease components; and |
● | We elected the practical expedient to continue to account for land easements (also known as “rights of way”) that were not previously accounted for as leases consistent with prior accounting until such contracts are modified or replaced, at which time they would be assessed for lease classification under ASC 842. |
As of the date of implementation on January 1, 2019, the impact of the adoption of ASC 842 resulted in the recognition of a right of use asset and lease payable obligation on our condensed consolidated balance sheet of approximately $42.8 million. As the right of use asset and the lease payable obligation were the same, there was 0 cumulative effect impact on retained earnings.
Our leases primarily consist of office space and equipment used globally within our operations. We determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract based on answers to a series of questions that address whether an identified asset exists and whether we have the right to obtain substantially all of the benefit of the assets and to control its use over the full term of the agreement. When available, we use the rate implicit in the lease to discount lease payments to present value; however, most of our leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, we must estimate our incremental borrowing rate using a credit notching approach to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. Certain of our lease agreements include options to extend and options to terminate the lease, which we do not include in our minimum lease terms unless management is reasonably certain to exercise. We do not separate lease and nonlease components of contracts. There are no material residual value guarantees nor any restrictions or covenants included in our lease agreements. Certain of our leases include provisions for variable payments. These variable payments are typically determined based on a measure of throughput or actual days or another measure of usage and are not included in the calculation of lease liabilities and right-of-use assets.

Note 23 Subsequent Events
On February 23, 2018, our Board declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per common share, which will be paid on April 3, 2018 to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 13, 2018.
On January 16 2018, Nabors Delaware completed an offering of $800 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% senior unsecured notes due February 1, 2025, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by us. The proceeds from this offering were used to repay indebtedness of Nabors and its subsidiaries, including all of Nabors Delaware’s outstanding 6.15% senior notes due February 2018.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
Not applicable.
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted 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 annual report. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of December 31, 2017,2019, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of these limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk.
