NABORS NET LOSS $694 MLN
Nabors Industries Ltd. ("Nabors") (NYSE: NBR) reported third-quarter 2016 operating revenues of $519.7 million, compared to operating revenues of $571.6 million in the second quarter of 2016. Net income from continuing operations, attributable to Nabors, for the current quarter was a loss of $99.0 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, compared to a loss of $183.7 million, or $0.65 per diluted share, last quarter.
Anthony Petrello, Nabors' Chairman, President, and CEO, commented, "After a challenging downturn, we are experiencing significant utilization increases in our Lower 48 market, although spot market pricing continues to remain competitive. Similarly, our international markets are showing signs of impending activity increases. We are very encouraged by our customers' acceptance of our newest rig, the PACE®-M800. We now have contracts for the first four M800s, with two already deployed, and awards for two more. Likewise, the high demand for our PACE®-X rigs has brought the utilization of that fleet to over 80%. This increased demand is beginning to exert upward pressure on pricing for these top-end rigs, although, in the near-term, our fleet average margins will remain under pressure due to expiring long-term contracts. We are also implementing a cost-effective plan to enhance other classes of our existing AC rig fleet to incorporate most of the features of these rigs. Regardless of how the recovery unfolds, we expect our reduced cost structure, improved performance and our various technology initiatives to significantly increase operating leverage across our global fleet.
"We recorded a sequential decline in adjusted operating income, as a modest increase in Rig Services was more than offset by reduction in one-time gains in Drilling, as compared to the second quarter. We expect this trend in operating income to continue into the beginning of 2017 driven by lower U.S. Drilling margins and International utilization."

Adjusted EBITDA is computed by subtracting the sum of direct costs, general and administrative expenses and research and engineering expenses from operating revenues. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management evaluates the performance of our operating segments and the Company's consolidated results based on several criteria, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss), because it believes that these financial measures reflect our ongoing profitability and performance. In addition, securities analysts and investors use this measure as one of the metrics on which they analyze our performance. Other companies in our industry may compute these measures differently. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, which is the most closely comparable GAAP measure, is provided in the table set forth immediately following the heading "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to Income (loss) from Continuing Operations before Income Taxes". |
