NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 Nature of Operations

We own and operate the world’s largest land-based drilling rig fleet and are a leading provider of offshore platform workover and drilling rigs in the United States and numerous international markets.

As a global provider of services for land-based and offshore oil and natural gas wells, our fleet of rigs and drilling-related equipment as of June 30, 2015 includes:

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

·42 actively marketed rigs for offshore drilling operations in the United States and numerous international markets.

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

The majority of our business is conducted through our Drilling & Rig Services business line, which is comprised of our global land-based and offshore drilling rig operations and other rig services, consisting of equipment manufacturing, rig instrumentation, optimization software and directional drilling services. This business line consists of four operating segments: U.S., Canada, International and Rig Services.

On March 24, 2015, we completed the previously announced merger (the “Merger”) of our Completion & Production Services business line with C&J Energy Services, Inc. (“C&J Energy”). As a result of the Merger and related transactions, our wholly-owned interest in our Completion & Production Service business line was exchanged for cash and an equity interest in the combined entity, C&J Energy Services Ltd. (“CJES”), and is now accounted for as an unconsolidated affiliate as of the acquisition date. See further discussion in Note 3 — Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates. Prior to the Merger, this business line was comprised of our operations involved in the completion, life-of-well maintenance and plugging and abandonment of a well in the United States and Canada. These services include stimulation, coiled-tubing, cementing, wireline, workover, well-servicing and fluids management.

On May 24, 2015, we paid $106.0 million in cash to acquire the remaining 49% equity interest in Nabors Arabia Company Limited (“Nabors Arabia”), our joint venture in Saudi Arabia, making it a wholly owned subsidiary. As a result of the acquisition, 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 as of the acquisition date. See further discussion in Note 4 — Acquisitions.

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

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Nabors have been prepared in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted. Therefore, these financial statements should be read along with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 (“2014 Annual Report”). In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2015 and the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and changes in equity for the periods presented herein. Interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2015 may not be indicative of results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2015.

8

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nabors, as well as all majority owned and non-majority owned subsidiaries required to be consolidated under GAAP. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Investments in operating entities where we have the ability to exert significant influence, but where we do not control operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. Our share of the net income (loss) of these entities is recorded as earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statements of income (loss). The investments in these entities are included in investment in unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated balance sheets. We record our share of the net income (loss) of our equity method investment in CJES on a one-quarter lag, as we are not able to obtain the financial information on a timely basis. See Note 3 — Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates.

Inventory

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

	June 30,		December 31,
	2015		2014
	(In thousands)
Raw materials	$	138,923	$	133,797
Work-in-progress	37,791		39,617
Finished goods	7,061		56,653
	$	183,775	$	230,067

Goodwill

We review goodwill for impairment annually during the second quarter of each fiscal year or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such goodwill and intangible assets exceed their fair value. We initially assess goodwill for impairment based on qualitative factors to determine whether to perform the two-step annual goodwill impairment test, a Level 3 fair value measurement. After our qualitative assessment, step one of the impairment test compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, a second step is required to measure the goodwill impairment loss. The second step compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess.

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

Based on our annual review during the second quarter of 2015, we did not record a goodwill impairment. However, a prolonged period of lower natural gas or oil prices could continue to adversely affect demand for our services and lead to goodwill impairment charges in the future.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) relating to consolidation, which eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership. It also modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships are variable interest entities or voting interest entities and adds requirements that limited partnerships must meet to qualify as voting interest entities. This guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. We are currently evaluating the impact this will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued an ASU relating to the presentation of debt issuance costs on the balance sheet. This standard amends existing guidance to require the presentation of debt issuance costs on the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of as a deferred charge. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this will have on our consolidated financial statements.

9

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

Note 3 Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

On March 24, 2015, we completed the previously announced Merger of our Completion & Production Services business line with C&J Energy. We received total consideration comprised of approximately $693.5 million in cash and approximately 62.5 million common shares in the combined company, CJES, representing approximately 53% of the outstanding and issued common shares of CJES. Because we have significant influence over CJES, but not a controlling financial interest, we account for our investment in CJES under the equity method of accounting.

Our consolidated statement of income (loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 consolidates the operating results of our Completion & Production Services business line through the closing date of the Merger. As a result of the Merger, we no longer consolidate the operating results of our Completion & Production Services business line and CJES became an unconsolidated affiliate. Therefore, subsequent to the closing date of the Merger, our share of the net income (loss) of our equity method investment is recorded as earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statements of income (loss). Our policy is to record our share of the net income (loss) of CJES on a one-quarter lag as we are not able to obtain the financial information of CJES on a timely basis. Accordingly, the equity in earnings from CJES, which is reflected in earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statement of income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 includes our share of the net income (loss) of CJES for the eight-day period from the closing date of the Merger until March 31, 2015.

We recorded our investment in the equity of CJES in the Investment in unconsolidated affiliates line in our consolidated balance sheet, with an initial valuation of approximately $676.2 million, based on the fair value of shares received on the closing date of the Merger. As of March 31, 2015, the fair market value of our investment in CJES was approximately $696.1 million, based on its available quoted market prices, which exceeds its carrying value of $675.3 million. Additionally, 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 line. This gain was partially offset by $49.6 million in transaction costs related to the Merger. The Merger is subject to customary post-closing adjustments which may impact the ultimate amount of gain recognized on the transaction.

Note 4 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 that we had accounted for 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 of the acquisition, 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 as of 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 losses (gains) on sales and disposals of long-lived assets and other expense (income) in the consolidated statements of income.

The following table provides the preliminary estimates for allocation of the purchase price as of the acquisition date. This allocation was based on the significant use of estimates and on information that was available to management at the time these interim consolidated financial statements were prepared. We will continue to adjust the allocations until final valuation of the assets and liabilities is completed.

Note 6 Fair Value Measurements

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2015. Our debt securities could transfer into or out of a Level 1 or 2 measure depending on the availability of independent and current pricing at the end of each quarter. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, there were no transfers of our financial assets between Level 1 and Level 2 measures. Our financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

	June 30, 2015				December 31, 2014

The fair values of our cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

Note 7 Share-Based Compensation

We have several share-based employee and director compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 9 — Share-Based Compensation in our 2014 Annual Report. Total share-based compensation expense, which includes stock options and restricted stock, totaled $16.4 million and $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $30.1 million and $19.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Share-based compensation expense has been allocated to our various operating segments. See Note 15 — Segment Information.

Stock Options

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $0.8 million and $46.9 million, respectively. The total fair value of stock options that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $1.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we awarded 2,535,503 and 1,143,002 shares of restricted stock, respectively, vesting over periods of up to four years, to our employees and directors. These awards had an aggregate value at their date of grant of $34.7 million and $26.1 million, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 was $13.2 million and $18.3 million, respectively. The fair value of these awards is based on the closing price of Nabors stock on the date the awards are granted.

Restricted Stock Based on Performance

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we awarded 438,307 and 362,311 shares of restricted stock, respectively, vesting over a period of three years to some of our executives. The performance awards granted were based upon achievement of specific financial or operational objectives. The number of shares granted was determined by the number of performance goals achieved during fiscal years 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Until shares are vested, our performance awards based on performance conditions are liability-classified awards. Our accrued liabilities included $1.1 million for such awards at June 30, 2015 for the performance period beginning January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015. The fair value of these awards that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $3.7 million. The fair value of these awards are estimated at each reporting period, based on internal metrics and marked to market.

13

Restricted Stock Based on Market Conditions

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we awarded 544,925 and 395,550 shares of restricted stock, respectively, which will vest based on our performance compared to our peer group over a three-year period. These awards had an aggregate value at their date of grant of $4.7 million and $4.5 million, respectively, after consideration of all assumptions.

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

	Three Months Ended

Commercial Paper Program

As of June 30, 2015, we had approximately $324.7 million of commercial paper outstanding. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings at June 30, 2015 was 0.553%. Our commercial paper borrowings are classified as long-term debt because the borrowings are fully supported by availability under our revolving credit facility, which matures as currently structured in July 2020, more than one year from now.

Revolving Credit Facility

During the first quarter of 2015, we exercised the accordion feature under our revolving credit facility to increase the borrowing capacity by $225.0 million, bringing our total capacity under the revolving credit facility to $1.725 billion. The weighted average interest rate during the period ended June 30, 2015 was 1.48%. As of June 30, 2015, we have no borrowings outstanding under this facility. Additionally, in July 2015, we entered into an agreement which increases the borrowing capacity to $2.2 billion, extends the maturity date to July 2020 and increases the size of the accordion option. See Note 17 — Subsequent Events. The revolving credit facility contains various covenants and restrictive provisions that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments or loans and create liens and require us to maintain a net funded indebtedness to total capitalization ratio, as defined in the agreement. We were in compliance with all covenants under the agreement at June 30, 2015. If we fail to perform our obligations under the covenants, the revolving credit commitment could be terminated, and any outstanding borrowings under the facility could be declared immediately due and payable.

Term Loan Facility

On February 6, 2015, Nabors Industries, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a new unsecured term loan facility for $300.0 million with a three-year maturity, which was fully and unconditionally guaranteed by us. Under the new term loan facility, we were required to prepay the loan upon the closing of the Merger, or if we otherwise disposed of assets, issued term

14

debt, or issued equity with net proceeds of more than $70.0 million, subject to certain exceptions. The term loan agreement contained customary representations and warranties, covenants, and events of default for loan facilities of this type. On March 27, 2015, we repaid the $300.0 million term loan, and the facility was terminated according to the terms of the agreement using a portion of the cash consideration received in connection with the Merger.

Note 9 Common Shares

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, our employees exercised vested options to acquire 0.1 million and 2.9 million of our common shares, respectively, resulting in proceeds of $1.2 million and $29.0 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we withheld 0.6 million and 0.3 million, respectively, of our common shares with a fair value of $7.4 million and $7.3 million, respectively, to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of all stock awards.

On April 24, 2015, a cash dividend of $0.06 per share was declared for shareholders of record on June 9, 2015. The dividend was paid on June 30, 2015 in the amount of $17.5 million and was charged to retained earnings in our consolidated statement of changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Note 10 Subsidiary Preferred Stock

During 2014, we paid $70.9 million to redeem the 75,000 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock of our subsidiary and paid all dividends due on such shares.

Note 11 Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

Income Tax

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

We have received an assessment from the Mexico federal tax authority in connection with our 2007 income tax return. The assessment relates to the denial of depreciation expense deductions related to drilling rigs. Similar deductions were taken for tax years 2008 - 2010. Although Nabors and its tax advisors believe these deductions are defensible, a partial reserve has been recorded. The total amounts assessed or expected to be assessed range from $30 million to $35 million. We have not changed our position to defend this issue, as we are confident that we will prevail in court. If we ultimately do not prevail, we would be required to recognize additional tax expense for any amount in excess of the current reserve.

Self-Insurance

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

We self-insure for certain losses relating to workers’ compensation, employers’ liability, general liability, automobile liability and property damage. Effective April 1, 2015, some of our workers’ compensation claims, employers’ liability and marine employers’ liability claims are subject to a $3.0 million per-occurrence deductible; additionally, some of our automobile liability claims are subject to a $2.5 million deductible. General liability claims remain subject to a $5.0 million per-occurrence deductible.

In addition, we are subject to a $5.0 million deductible for land rigs and for offshore rigs. This applies to all types of physical damage risks except for named windstorms in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. We have limited windstorm coverage on certain assets in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

15

Litigation

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

In 2009, the Court of Ouargla entered a judgment of approximately $14.5 million (at June 30, 2015 exchange rates) against us relating to alleged customs infractions in Algeria. We believe we did not receive proper notice of the judicial proceedings, and that the amount of the judgment was excessive in any case. We asserted the lack of legally required notice as a basis for challenging the judgment on appeal to the Algeria Supreme Court (the “Supreme Court”). In May 2012, that court reversed the lower court and remanded the case to the Ouargla Court of Appeals for treatment consistent with the Supreme Court’s ruling. In January 2013, the Ouargla Court of Appeals reinstated the judgment. We again lodged an appeal to the Supreme Court, asserting the same challenges as before. While the appeal was pending, the Hassi Messaoud customs office initiated efforts to collect the judgment prior to the Supreme Court’s decision in the case. As a result, we paid approximately $3.1 million and posted security of approximately $1.33 million to suspend those collection efforts and to enter into a formal negotiations process with the customs authority. The customs authority demanded 50% of the total fine as a final settlement and seized additional funds of approximately $4.425 million. We have recorded a reserve in the amount of the posted security. The matter was heard by the Supreme Court on February 26, 2015, and on March 26, 2015, that court set aside the judgment of the Ouargla Court of Appeals and remanded the case to that court for further proceedings. We have filed an application to the Conseil d’Etat in an effort to recover amounts previously paid by us. A portion of those amounts has been returned, and our efforts to recover the additional $3.6 million continue.

In March 2011, the Court of Ouargla entered a judgment of approximately $28.5 million (at June 30, 2015 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 $20.5 million in excess of amounts accrued.

In 2012, Nabors Global Holdings II Limited (“NGH2L”) signed a contract with ERG Resources, LLC (“ERG”) relating to the sale of all of the Class A shares of NGH2L’s wholly owned subsidiary, Ramshorn International Limited, an oil and gas exploration company. When ERG failed to meet its closing obligations, NGH2L terminated the transaction on March 19, 2012 and, as contemplated in the agreement, retained ERG’s $3.0 million escrow deposit. ERG filed suit the following day in the 61st Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas, in a case styled ERG Resources, LLC v. Nabors Global Holdings II Limited, Ramshorn International Limited, and Parex Resources, Inc.; Cause No. 2012-16446, seeking injunctive relief to halt any sale of the shares to a third party, specifically naming as defendant Parex Resources, Inc. (“Parex”). The lawsuit also seeks monetary damages of up to $750.0 million based on an alleged breach of contract by NGH2L and alleged tortious interference with contractual relations by Parex. We successfully defeated ERG’s effort to obtain a temporary restraining order from the Texas court on March 20, 2012. We completed the sale of Ramshorn’s Class A shares to a Parex affiliate in April 2012, which mooted ERG’s application for a temporary injunction. The lawsuit is stayed, pending further court actions, including appeals of the jurisdictional decisions. ERG retains its causes of action for monetary damages, but we believe the claims are foreclosed by the terms of the agreement and are without factual or legal merit. Although we are vigorously defending the lawsuit, its ultimate outcome cannot be determined at this time. On April 30, 2015, ERG filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Nabors is monitoring the proceedings to determine how it will affect the pending litigation.

On July 30, 2014, we and Red Lion, along with C&J Energy and its board of directors, were sued in a putative shareholder class action filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”). The plaintiff alleges that the members of the C&J Energy board of directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Merger, and that Red Lion and C&J Energy aided and abetted these alleged breaches. The plaintiff sought to enjoin the defendants from proceeding with or consummating the Merger and the C&J Energy stockholder meeting for approval of the Merger and, to the extent that the Merger was completed before any relief was granted, to have the Merger rescinded. On November 10, 2014, the plaintiff filed a motion for a preliminary injunction, and, on November 24, 2014, the Court of Chancery entered a bench ruling, followed by a written order on November 25, 2014, that (i) ordered certain members of the C&J Energy board of directors to solicit for a 30 day period alternative proposals to purchase C&J Energy (or a controlling stake in C&J Energy) that were superior to the Merger, and (ii) preliminarily enjoined C&J Energy from holding its stockholder meeting until it complied with the foregoing. C&J Energy complied with the order while it simultaneously pursued an expedited appeal of the Court of Chancery’s order to the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Supreme Court”). On December 19, 2014, the Delaware Supreme Court overturned the Court of Chancery’s judgment and vacated the order. This case remains pending.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements (Including Guarantees)

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

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

	Maximum Amount
	Remainder of 2015		2016		2017		Thereafter		Total
	(In thousands)
Financial standby letters of credit and other financial surety instruments	$	102,107	$	141,132	$	19	$	—	$	243,258

Note 12 Earnings (Losses) Per Share

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

A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings (losses) per share computations is as follows:

For all periods presented, the computation of diluted earnings (losses) per share excludes outstanding stock options with exercise prices greater than the average market price of our common shares, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive and because they are not considered participating securities. The average number of options that were excluded from diluted earnings (losses) per share that would potentially dilute earnings (losses) per share were 9,860,422 and 5,782,273 shares during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and 6,325,598 and 6,817,891 shares during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. In any period during which the average market price of our common shares exceeds the exercise prices of these stock options, such stock options will be included in our diluted earnings (losses) per share computation using the if-converted method of accounting.

Note 14 Assets Held-for-Sale and Discontinued Operations

Assets Held-for-Sale

Assets held for sale of $136.7 million and $146.5 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, consisted solely of our oil and gas holdings in the Horn River basin in western Canada.

We have contracts with pipeline companies to pay specified fees based on committed volumes for gas transport and processing. At June 30, 2015, our undiscounted contractual commitments for these contracts approximated $43.2 million and we had liabilities of $25.0 million, $7.8 million of which were classified as current and were included in accrued liabilities. At December 31, 2014, we had liabilities of $40.2 million, $19.6 million of which were classified as current and were included in accrued liabilities. These amounts represent our best estimate of the fair value of the excess capacity of the pipeline commitments calculated using a discounted cash flow model, when considering our disposal plan, current production levels, natural gas prices and expected utilization of the pipeline over the remaining contractual term. Decreases in actual production or natural gas prices could result in future charges related to excess pipeline commitments.

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

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

(3)Includes earnings (losses), net from unconsolidated affiliates, accounted for using the equity method, of ($0.3) million and ($0.8) million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $5.9 million and ($3.3) million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

(4)Includes earnings (losses), net from unconsolidated affiliates, accounted for using the equity method, of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and $0.3 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. These investments were included in the Completion & Production Service business line that was merged with C&J Energy in March 2015.

(5)Represents our share of the net income (loss) of CJES for the eight-day period from the closing of the Merger until March 31, 2015.

(6)Represents the elimination of inter-segment transactions.

(7)Adjusted income (loss) derived from operating activities is computed by subtracting the sum of direct costs, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization and earnings (losses) from our equity method investment from the sum of Operating revenues and Earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates. These amounts should not be used as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management evaluates the performance of our business units and the consolidated company based on several criteria, including adjusted income (loss) derived from operating activities, because it believes that these financial measures accurately reflect our ongoing profitability. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, which is a GAAP measure, is provided in the above table.

(8)Represents the elimination of inter-segment transactions and unallocated corporate expenses.

(9)Includes $0.9 million and $48.1 million of investments in unconsolidated affiliates accounted for using the equity method as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

(11)Includes $10.2 million of investments in unconsolidated affiliates accounted for using the equity method as of December 31, 2014. These investments were included in the Completion & Production Service business line that was merged with C&J Energy in March 2015.

(12)Includes $675.3 million of investments in unconsolidated affiliates accounted for using the equity method as of June 30, 2015, including our investment in CJES.

Note 17 Subsequent Events

On July 24, 2015, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per share to the holders of record of our common shares as of September 9, 2015 to be paid on September 30, 2015.

On July 14, 2015, we entered into an amendment to our existing committed, unsecured revolving credit facility which increases the available borrowing capacity to $2.2 billion, extends the maturity date to July 2020 and increases the size of the accordion option to $500.0 million. The current rate under the revised facility has been reduced to LIBOR plus 125 bps with standby fees of 15 bps applying to the undrawn commitment. We expect to use the extended facility to provide financial flexibility for strategic investment opportunities, debt refinancing and other corporate uses.

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

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

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

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

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

·fluctuations in the demand for our services;

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

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

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

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

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

·general economic conditions including the capital and credit markets.

The above description of risks and uncertainties is not all-inclusive, but highlights certain factors that we believe are important for your consideration. For a more detailed description of risk factors, please refer to Part I, Item 1A. — Risk Factors in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Part II and Item 1A. — Risk Factors in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

Management Overview

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

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

On March 24, 2015, we completed the previously announced Merger of our Completion & Production Services business line with C&J Energy. Prior to the Merger, this business line was comprised of our operations involved in the completion, life-of-well maintenance and plugging and abandonment of a well in the United States and Canada. These services include stimulation, coiled-tubing, cementing, wireline, workover, well-servicing and fluids management. Prior to the Merger, we consolidated the financial results of the Completion & Production Services business line, which consisted of two reporting segments. We own 53% of the outstanding shares of CJES and account for our investment in CJES under the equity method of accounting. Our share of the net income (loss) of CJES is recorded on a one-quarter lag basis. As a result, our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 include our share of CJES’ net income (loss) for the eight-day period from the closing of the Merger until March 31, 2015.

38

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 on that date. As a result of the acquisition, 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 as of the acquisition date.

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. The oil and natural gas markets have traditionally been volatile and tend to be highly sensitive to supply and demand cycles.

The following table sets forth the 12-month daily average of oil and natural gas prices according to Bloomberg for the periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:

	June 30,
	2015		2014		Increase/(Decrease)
	(In dollars, except percentages)
Average Henry Hub natural gas spot price ($/thousand cubic feet)	$	3.33	$	4.48	$	(1.15	)	(26	)%
Average West Texas intermediate crude oil spot price ($/barrel)	$	69.58	$	101.30	$	(31.72	)	(31	)%

During the second half of 2014, the markets experienced a dramatic decline in oil prices which have remained depressed into the second quarter of 2015 due, at least in part, to an increase in global crude supply with stagnant demand. Oil prices reached a six-year low of $43.46 per barrel in March 2015, down 60% from the peak oil prices of 2014. Natural gas prices have also experienced a recent decline in the first half of 2015, although less severe than oil prices. Natural gas prices averaged $2.73 per mcf during the second quarter of 2015, down 39% from the preceding 12-month daily average and still significantly below the 2008 average price of $8.89 for an extended period of time.

As a result of the reduced price of oil, we have experienced a decline in the demand in North America for drilling services as customers have reduced or curtailed their capital spending and drilling activities. The reduction in demand for drilling services, coupled with the increased supply of newly built high specification rigs in the drilling market, has led to a highly competitive market for all rigs. Accordingly, we have also experienced downward pricing pressure for our services.

Our operating results for the full year 2015 are expected to decline from levels realized during 2014 given our current expectation of the continuation of lower commodity prices and the related impact on drilling and dayrates. Due to the decline in oil prices and customers’ reduced drilling activity, we have experienced a decline in our dayrates as well as the average number of rigs operating, most notably in the lower 48 states. In our U.S. Drilling operating segment, our rig years have decreased from 212.5 years during the fourth quarter of 2014 to 119.5 years during the second quarter of 2015. We expect the decline in utilization and rig counts to moderate in the third quarter of 2015. Our International operating segment is not immune from the impact of lower oil prices. Although international drilling markets tend to react slower than the North American markets, we began to experience downward pressure on dayrates in the International segment during the second quarter of 2015. We expect a decline in both rig count and pricing throughout the remainder of 2015 in the International segment. Further declines in oil and gas prices, or a prolonged period of the current market conditions may continue to affect the demand for our services and could have an adverse effect on our utilization and prices for those services.  If prices or other market conditions continue to deteriorate, and remain so for a prolonged period of time such that demand for our services begin to be negatively affected, we could be subject to future impairment charges.

Financial Results

Operating revenues and Earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates for the three months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $0.9 billion, representing a decrease of $754.2 million, or 47%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014, and $2.3 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2015, representing a decrease of $920.2 million, or 29%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014. Adjusted income (loss) derived from operating activities and net loss from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $70.0 million and $41.9 million ($0.14 per diluted share), respectively, representing decreases of 48% and 164%, respectively, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014. Adjusted income (loss) derived from operating activities and net income from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled $163.4 million and $82.5 million ($0.28 per diluted share), respectively, representing decreases of 33% and 28%, respectively, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014.

(4)	Includes earnings (losses), net from unconsolidated affiliates, accounted for using the equity method, of $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and $0.3 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. These investments were included in the Completion & Production Service business line that was merged with C&J Energy in March 2015.
(5)	Represents our share of the net income (loss) of CJES for the eight-day period from the closing of the Merger until March 31, 2015.
(6)	Represents the elimination of inter-segment transactions.
(7)	Adjusted EBITDA is computed by subtracting the sum of direct costs and general and administrative expenses and earnings (losses) from our equity method investment from the sum of Operating revenues and Earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure and should not be used in isolation as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management evaluates the performance of our business units and the consolidated company based on several criteria, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted income (loss) derived from operating activities, because we believe that these financial measures accurately reflect our ongoing profitability.

U.S.

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

Operating results decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the corresponding 2014 periods primarily due to a decline in drilling activity in the lower 48 states, reflected by a 44% reduction in rig years during the second quarter of 2015 compared to 2014, this decrease was primarily driven by lower oil prices beginning in the fourth quarter of 2014 and diminished demand as customers released rigs and delayed drilling projects in response to the significant drop in oil prices. The decline in revenue in the lower 48 states was partially offset by a decrease in operating and general and administrative costs due to cost reduction efforts.

Canada

Operating results decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the corresponding 2014 periods primarily due to a decline in drilling rig activity and dayrates, the direct result of lower industry activity and pricing pressure from customers resulting from the decline in oil and gas prices. The lower activity is evidenced by a 55% reduction in rig years during the second quarter of 2015 compared to 2014. The Canadian dollar weakened approximately 14% against the U.S. dollar year-over-year. This negatively impacted margins, as both revenues and expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars.

International

Operating results increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the corresponding 2014 periods primarily as a result of increases in rig counts and margins in Saudi Arabia, Australia and Kazakhstan. Furthermore, our International operations benefitted from the incremental margins associated with deployments of several newly constructed rigs throughout 2014. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in rig years in Mexico.

44

Rig Services

Operating results decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the corresponding 2014 periods primarily due to a broad-based decline in revenue-producing activities, including top drives and catwalk sales and the continued decline in financial results in our directional drilling businesses due to intense competition and the low price of oil. The decline in revenue was partially offset by a decrease in operating and general and administrative costs due to cost-reduction efforts.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the corresponding 2014 periods, partially because we no longer consolidate these expenses from our Completion & Production business line as a result of the Merger, also due to as a reduction in workforce and general cost-reduction efforts across the remaining operating units. As a percentage of operating revenues, general and administrative expenses are slightly higher in 2015 due to the reductions in revenues across the U.S. operating units.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the corresponding 2014 periods, primarily as a result of the impairment and retirement of rigs and rig components during the fourth quarter of 2014, which more than offset the incremental depreciation attributed to newly constructed rigs, rig upgrades and other capital expenditures made during 2014.

Earnings (losses) from equity method investment

Earnings (losses) from equity method investment represents our share of the net income (loss) of CJES. We account for our investment in CJES on a one-quarter lag, so accordingly the three months ended June 30, 2015 includes our share of the net income (loss) of CJES for the eight-day period from the closing of the Merger until March 31, 2015.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased slightly during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the corresponding 2014 period. Throughout the second quarter of 2015, our average outstanding debt balances were lower than those in the corresponding 2014 period, primarily due to the repayment of a portion of our outstanding debt balance using cash consideration received in connection with the Merger. Average interest rates were also lower on our outstanding revolving credit facility and commercial paper during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the corresponding 2014 periods.

Investment income

Investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 included realized gains of $1.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, attributable to interest and dividend income.

Investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 included realized gains of $2.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, attributable to interest and dividend income. Additionally, during the three months ended June 30, 2014 we recognized realized gains of $5.0 million related to the sale of some of our available-for-sale securities.

45

Gains (losses) on sales and disposals of long-lived assets and other income (expense), net

The amount of gains (losses) on sales and disposals of long-lived assets and other income (expense), net for the three months ended June 30, 2015 was a net loss of $1.3 million, which included increases to our litigation reserves of $2.1 million and foreign currency exchange losses of approximately $1.8 million. These losses were partially offset by a $2.3 million gain associated with our acquisition of the remaining interest in Nabors Arabia.

The amount of gains (losses) on sales and disposals of long-lived assets and other income (expense), net for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was a net gain of $54.5 million, which included a net gain of $52.6 million related to the Merger, decreases to our litigation reserves of $1.9 million and foreign currency exchange gains of approximately $0.5 million. These gains were partially offset by net losses on sales and disposals of assets of approximately $2.7 million.

The amount of gains (losses) on sales and disposals of long-lived assets and other income (expense), net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were net losses of $16.5 million and $18.0 million, respectively, which included net losses on sales and disposals of assets of approximately $11.1 million and $13.5 million, respectively, foreign currency exchange losses of approximately $4.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively and increases to our litigation reserves of $0.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively.

Income tax rate

	Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
	June 30,								June 30,
	2015		2014		Increase/(Decrease)				2015		2014		Increase/(Decrease)
Effective income tax rate from continuing operations	271	%	14	%	257	%	1836	%	36	%	18	%	18	%	100	%

The change in our worldwide effective tax rate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the corresponding 2014 period is primarily attributable to the effect of the geographic mix of pre-tax earnings (losses), along with the cumulative impact to the effective tax rate of our change in the annual forecasted amount of pre-tax earnings (losses), including the forecast of greater losses in high-tax jurisdictions.

Assets Held-for-Sale

Assets held for sale of $136.7 million and $146.5 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, consisted solely of our oil and gas holdings in the Horn River basin in western Canada.

We have contracts with pipeline companies to pay specified fees based on committed volumes for gas transport and processing. At June 30, 2015, our undiscounted contractual commitments for these contracts approximated $43.2 million, and we had liabilities of $25.0 million, $7.8 million of which were classified as current and are included in accrued liabilities.

At December 31, 2014, our undiscounted contractual commitments for these contracts approximated $84.6 million, and we had liabilities of $40.2 million, $19.6 million of which were classified as current and are included in accrued liabilities.

The amounts at each balance sheet date represented our best estimate of the fair value of the excess capacity of the pipeline commitments calculated using a discounted cash flow model, when considering our disposal plan, current production levels, natural gas prices and expected utilization of the pipeline over the remaining contractual term. Decreases in actual production or natural gas prices could result in future charges related to excess pipeline commitments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Certain sources and uses of cash, such as the level of discretionary capital expenditures or acquisitions, purchases and sales of investments, as well as issuances and repurchases of debt and of our common shares are within our control and are adjusted as necessary based on market conditions. We discuss our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 below.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $517.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015, compared to $846.0 million during the corresponding 2014 period. Operating cash flows are our primary source of capital and liquidity. Factors affecting changes in operating cash flows are largely the same as those that impact net earnings, with the exception of non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization, depletion, impairments, share-based compensation, deferred income taxes and our proportionate share of earnings or losses from unconsolidated affiliates. Net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash components was approximately $578.8 million and $721.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. This decline of approximately 20% is partially attributable to the deconsolidation of our Completion & Production business line and further supplemented by reduced operating results in the U.S. and Canada drilling segments. Additionally, changes in working capital items such as collection of receivables, other deferred revenue arrangements, along with payments of operating payables can be significant factors affecting operating cash flows. Changes in working capital items used $61.4 million and provided $124.5 million in cash during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $62.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to net cash used of $782.9 million during the corresponding 2014 period. Our primary use of cash for investing activities is for capital expenditures related to rig-related enhancements, new construction and equipment, as well as sustaining capital expenditures. During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, we used cash for capital expenditures totaling $566.7 million and $862.7 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we received proceeds related to the Merger of $660.1 million.

Financing Activities. Net cash used for financing activities totaled $639.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $35.1 million during the corresponding 2014 period. This was primarily due to the repayment of $658.5 million on amounts borrowed under our commercial paper program and revolving credit facility, using a portion of the cash consideration received in connection with the Merger.

Future Cash Requirements

We expect capital expenditures over the next 12 months to approximate $0.8 - $0.9 billion. Purchase commitments outstanding at June 30, 2015 totaled approximately $391.3 million, primarily for rig-related enhancements, new construction and equipment, as well as sustaining capital expenditures, other operating expenses and purchases of inventory. This amount could change significantly based on market conditions and new business opportunities. The level of our outstanding purchase commitments and our expected level of capital expenditures over the next 12 months represent a number of capital programs that are currently underway or planned. These programs will result in an expansion in the number of land drilling rigs, upgrades to our offshore rigs and additions to the technology assets that we own and operate. We can reduce the planned expenditures if necessary or increase them if market conditions and new business opportunities warrant it. In light of the recent decline in crude oil prices, we have already undertaken many cost cutting initiatives in an effort to minimize the negative impact to our business. We have undertaken efforts to reduce capital expenditures, operating costs and administrative expenses. Since the last downturn in 2009, we have strengthened our financial flexibility by streamlining operations, shedding non-core businesses and reducing net debt and interest expense.

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

47

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

There have been no significant changes to the contractual cash obligations table that was included in our 2014 Annual Report.

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

Financial Condition and Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and investments, availability under our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program and cash generated from operations. As of June 30, 2015, we had cash and short-term investments of $469.9 million and working capital of $0.7 billion. As of December 31, 2014, we had cash and short-term investments of $536.2 million and working capital of $1.2 billion. At June 30, 2015, we had $1.4 billion of availability remaining under our $1.725 billion revolving credit facility and commercial paper program.

In February 2015, we exercised the accordion feature under our revolving credit facility to increase the borrowing capacity by $225.0 million to $1.725 billion. In addition, Nabors Industries, Inc., our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into a new unsecured term loan facility for $300.0 million with a three-year maturity, which was fully and unconditionally guaranteed by us. Under the new term loan facility, we were required to prepay amounts outstanding under the loan facility upon the closing of the Merger. On March 27, 2015, we repaid the $300.0 million term loan and terminated the facility according to the terms of the agreement using a portion of the cash consideration received in connection with the Merger.

We have effectively reduced our outstanding long-term debt by $125.4 million during the quarter. Additionally, in July 2015, we increased the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility to $2.2 billion and extended the maturity date of our revolving credit facility, bringing our availability in excess of $1.8 billion as of the date of this report. We expect to use the extended facility to provide financial flexibility for strategic investment opportunities, debt refinancing and other corporate uses.

We had 11 letter-of-credit facilities with various banks as of June 30, 2015. Availability under these facilities as of June 30, 2015 was as follows:

	(In thousands)
Credit available	$	647,239
Less: Letters of credit outstanding, inclusive of financial and performance guarantees	202,677
Remaining availability	$	444,562

Our ability to access capital markets or to otherwise obtain sufficient financing is enhanced by our senior unsecured debt ratings as provided by the major credit rating agencies in the United States and our historical ability to access these markets as needed. While there can be no assurances that we will be able to access these markets in the future, we believe that we will be able to access capital markets or otherwise obtain financing in order to satisfy any payment obligation that might arise upon exchange or purchase of our notes and that any cash payment due, in addition to our other cash obligations, would not ultimately have a material adverse impact on our liquidity or financial position. A ratings downgrade could adversely impact our ability to access debt markets in the future, increase the cost of future debt, and potentially require us to post letters of credit for certain obligations.

Our gross debt to capital ratio was 0.43:1 as of June 30, 2015 and 0.47:1 as of December 31, 2014. Our net debt to capital ratio was 0.40:1 as of June 30, 2015 and 0.44:1 as of December 31, 2014. The gross debt to capital ratio is calculated by dividing (x) total debt by (y) total capital. Total capital is defined as total debt plus shareholders’ equity. Net debt is total debt minus the sum of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Neither the gross debt to capital ratio nor the net debt to capital ratio is a measure of operating performance or liquidity defined by GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Our interest coverage ratio was 9.0:1 as of June 30, 2015 and 9.8:1 as of December 31, 2014. The interest coverage ratio is a trailing 12-month quotient of the sum of (x) adjusted EBITDA divided by (y) interest expense. The interest coverage ratio is not a measure of operating performance or liquidity defined by GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements (Including Guarantees)

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

The following table summarizes the total maximum amount of financial guarantees issued by Nabors:

	Maximum Amount
	Remainder of 2015		2016		2017		Thereafter		Total
	(In thousands)
Financial standby letters of credit and other financial surety instruments	$	102,107	$	141,132	$	19	$	—	$	243,258

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We may be exposed to market risks arising from the use of financial instruments in the ordinary course of business as discussed in our 2014 Annual Report.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have investments in certain unconsolidated entities that we do not control or manage. Because we do not control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to these entities are necessarily more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report

Previously Reported Material Weakness

As disclosed in Item 9A in our 2014 Annual Report, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for and disclosures related to a non-routine complex legal entity restructuring were ineffective as of December 31, 2014 as a result of a control deficiency that constituted a material weakness. Specifically, during the operation of a tax control, we failed to detect the use of inaccurate historical tax attributes. Accordingly, we initially did not appropriately record the tax

49

impact related to the third quarter 2014 restructuring of our Completion and Production Services entities in preparation for the then pending Merger.

In response to the material weakness described above, during the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we implemented new procedures to remediate the previously identified material weakness. Specifically, the new procedures include the hiring of new tax personnel and redefining the role of our external tax advisors, which has allowed for enhanced analysis, review and documentation of non-routine tax matters.  During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, we completed the testing of these controls and found them to be effective.  Based on the actions taken, and the testing and evaluation of the effectiveness of the control, management concluded that this control is operating effectively and the material weakness described above has been remediated as of the date of this report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Nabors and its subsidiaries are defendants or otherwise involved in a number of lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. We estimate the range of our liability related to pending litigation when we believe the amount and range of loss can be estimated. We record our best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable. When a liability is probable and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate in the range, we record the minimum estimated liability related to the lawsuits or claims. As additional information becomes available, we assess the potential liability related to our pending litigation and claims and revise our estimates. Due to uncertainties related to the resolution of lawsuits and claims, the ultimate outcome may differ from our estimates. For matters where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and significant, we disclose the nature of the matter and a range of potential exposure, unless an estimate cannot be made at the time of disclosure. In the opinion of management and based on liability accruals provided, our ultimate exposure with respect to these pending lawsuits and claims is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or cash flows, although they could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for a particular reporting period. See Note 11 — Commitments and Contingencies.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by the risk factor discussed below. In addition to the information set forth elsewhere in this report, the risk factors set forth in Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2014 Annual Report and Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2015 should be carefully considered when evaluating us. These risks are not the only ones we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business.

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. 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, significant 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 are increasingly demanding the services of newer, higher specification drilling rigs, which requires continued technological developments and increased capital expenditures, and 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. As a result of these and other competitive factors, we may be unable to maintain or increase our market share, utilization rates and/or prices for our services, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.  In addition, we have a number of customer contracts that will expire in 2015 and 2016. Our ability to renew these contracts or obtain new contracts and the terms of any such contracts will depend 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 times 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 existing day rates or terms that are favorable to us, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. 

Our drilling contracts may in certain instances be renegotiated or terminated and may not require an early termination payment to us

Most of our drilling contracts require that an early termination payment be made to us if a contract is terminated by the customer prior to its expiration. Such payments may not fully compensate us for the loss of a contract, and in certain circumstances, such as, but not limited to, destruction of a drilling rig that is not replaced within a specified period of time or other breach of our contractual obligations, the customer may not be obligated to make an early termination payment to us. The early termination 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.

In addition, during periods of depressed market conditions, such as the one we are currently experiencing and which we expect to continue during 2015, we may be subject to an increased risk of our customers seeking to renegotiate, repudiate or terminate their contracts. Our customers’ ability to perform their obligations under the contract, including their ability to pay us or fulfill their indemnity obligations, may also be impacted by an economic downturn or other adverse conditions in existence in the oil and gas market. If our customers cancel some of our contracts, and we are unable to secure new contracts on a timely basis and on

51

substantially similar terms — which may prove difficult during a depressed market — or if contracts are suspended for an extended period of time or if a number of our contracts are renegotiated, it could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

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

We withheld the following shares of our common stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with grants of stock awards during the three months ended June 30, 2015 from the distributions described below. These shares may be deemed to be “issuer purchases” of shares that are required to be disclosed pursuant to this Item, but were not purchased as part of a publicly announced program to purchase common shares:

Period (In thousands, except average price paid per share)	Total Number of Shares Purchased (1)	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Program	Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Program (2)
April 1 - April 30, 2015	2	$	15.12	—	—
May 1 - May 31, 2015	<1	$	14.97	—	—
June 1 - June 30, 2015	21	$	14.71	—	—

(1)Shares were withheld from employees and directors to satisfy certain tax withholding obligations due in connection with grants of stock under our 2003 Employee Stock Plan. The 2013 Stock Plan, 2003 Employee Stock Plan, 1998 Employee Stock Plan, 1999 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors and 1996 Employee Stock Plan provide for the withholding of shares to satisfy tax obligations, but do not specify a maximum number of shares that can be withheld for this purpose. These shares were not purchased as part of a publicly announced program to purchase common shares.

(2)We do not have a current share repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors.
