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

Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this report and in Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company” or “Nabors” mean Nabors Industries Ltd., together with our subsidiaries where the context requires, including Nabors Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Nabors Delaware”).

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

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

Principles of Consolidation

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

Investments in operating entities where we have the ability to exert significant influence, but where we do not control operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. Our share of the net income (loss) of these entities is recorded as earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statements of income (loss), and our investment in these entities is included as a single amount in our consolidated balance sheets. Investments in unconsolidated affiliates accounted for using the equity method totaled $303.1 million and $371.0 million as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. At each of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, assets held for sale included investments in unconsolidated affiliates accounted for using the equity method totaling $13.7 million. See Note 3 — Discontinued Operations for additional information.

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

  intend to sell these investments, and it is less likely than not that we will be required to sell them to satisfy our own cash flow and working capital requirements. We believe that we will be able to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of each investment and, therefore, do not consider the decline in value of these investments to be other-than-temporary at March 31, 2012.

The estimated fair values of our corporate, mortgage-backed, mortgage-CMO and asset-backed debt securities at March 31, 2012, classified by time to contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the securities may have the right to repay obligations without prepayment penalties and we may elect to sell the securities prior to the contractual maturity date.

Note 5    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 March 31, 2012. Our debt securities could transfer into or out of a Level 1 or 2 measure depending on the availability of independent and current pricing at the end of each quarter. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, there were no transfers of our financial assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 measures. Our financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

5.375% Senior Notes Due August 2012

At December 31, 2011, the current portion of our long-term debt included Nabors Delaware’s 5.375% senior notes of $274.6 million. We intend to utilize cash on hand and capacity under our revolving credit facilities to meet this obligation.

Revolving Credit Facilities

As of March 31, 2012, we had $390 million of remaining availability from a combined total of $1.4 billion under our existing revolving credit facilities. The existing revolving credit facilities mature in September 2014, and can be used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and working capital. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings at March 31, 2012 was 1.75%. We fully and unconditionally guarantee the obligations under all of these credit facilities.

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

Note 9    Common Shares

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, our employees exercised vested options and surrendered unexercised vested stock options to acquire 1.0 million of our common shares. We received proceeds of $15.7 million from exercised vested options and used approximately $21.0 million, the value of the unexercised vested options that were surrendered, to satisfy some of the option exercise price and related tax withholding obligations pursuant to stock option share settlements and exercises by some of the employees. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, our employees exercised vested options to acquire .8 million of our common shares, resulting in proceeds of $9.4 million. For each of the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, we withheld .1 million of our common shares with a fair value of $1.8 million and $2.3 million, respectively, to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of all stock awards.

At December 31, 2011, accrued liabilities included a provision of $100 million for a contingent liability related to the change of our Chief Executive Officer that occurred in October 2011. In February 2012, our former Chief Executive Officer elected to forego triggering that payment. In connection with that development, we announced plans to make charitable contributions to benefit the needs of our employees and other community-based causes. During the first quarter of 2012, we contributed one million of our treasury shares to the Nabors Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization, in support of this objective. We consider the former Chief Executive Officer to be a significant shareholder of the Company and, therefore, have recorded these transactions as equity. We recorded the release of the contingent liability, net of tax, through capital in excess of par as a forgiveness of liability from a beneficial owner. We recorded the donation of the treasury shares at their weighted-average cost, net of tax, through capital in excess of par.

Note 10    Subsidiary Preferred Stock

As of and during the three months ended March 31, 2012, dividends of $.75 million on outstanding shares of preferred stock had been declared and paid in full.

Note 11    Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

Employment Contracts

The employment agreement for Mr. Petrello currently provides for a term through March 30, 2015, with automatic one-year extensions each April 1, unless either party gives notice of nonrenewal. In the event of Mr. Petrello’s termination without cause or constructive termination without cause, he would be entitled to receive three times the average of his base salary and annual bonus during the three fiscal years preceding the

Table of Contents

termination. If, by way of example, Mr. Petrello were terminated without cause subsequent to March 31, 2012, his payment would be approximately $31.1 million. The formula will be further reduced to two times the average stated above in April 1, 2015. In the event of his death or disability, either he or his estate would be entitled to receive within 30 days thereafter a payment of $50 million.

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

Contingencies

Income Tax Contingencies

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

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

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

Self-Insurance

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

Table of Contents

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

Litigation

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

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

A court in Algeria entered a judgment of approximately $19.7 million against us related to alleged customs infractions in 2009. We believe we did not receive proper notice of the judicial proceedings, and that the amount of the judgment is excessive. We have asserted the lack of legally required notice as a basis for challenging the judgment on appeal to the Algeria Supreme Court. Based upon our understanding of applicable law and precedent, we believe that this challenge will be successful. We do not believe that a loss is probable and have not accrued any amounts related to this matter. The Algeria Supreme Court has notified us that it will deliver its decision in the second quarter of 2012. If we are ultimately required to pay a fine or judgment related to this matter, the amount of the loss could range from approximately $140,000 to $19.7 million.

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

we believe, those of other multinational corporations there, and interpretations of the law by the Central Bank of Algeria, the ultimate resolution of this matter could result in a loss of up to $31.1 million in excess of amounts accrued.

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

Nabors Industries Ltd. and its Board of Directors have been sued in three separate purported shareholder derivative lawsuits filed in federal and state court in Houston, Texas. The cases were filed on November 18, 2011, January 9, 2012, and November 30, 2011, respectively, before Judges Ewing Werlein and Gray Miller in the United States Southern District of Texas, Houston Division, and Judge Mike Miller of the 11th Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas. The case pending before Judge Gray Miller was voluntarily dismissed on January 31, 2012. The other cases remain pending. The allegations of each lawsuit are substantially similar, alleging that the members of the Board breached their fiduciary duties to the Company, wasted corporate assets, and committed oppressive conduct against the shareholders by agreeing to acquiesce to certain compensation arrangements with two senior officers of the Company, Eugene M. Isenberg and Anthony G. Petrello. The remaining lawsuits seek relief that includes an award of monetary damages in an unspecified amount, disgorgement by Messrs. Isenberg and Petrello of allegedly excessive compensation in an unspecified amount of at least $90 million, and equitable relief to reform Nabors’ compensation practices. Nabors intends to vigorously defend the lawsuits and has filed a motion to dismiss the remaining federal court lawsuit. The ultimate outcome of these lawsuits cannot be determined at this time.

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements (Including Guarantees)

We are a party to some transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements defined as “off-balance sheet arrangements” that could have a material future effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. The most significant of these off-balance sheet arrangements involve agreements and obligations under which we provide financial or performance assurance to third parties. Certain of these agreements serve as guarantees, including standby letters of credit issued on behalf of insurance carriers in conjunction with our workers’ compensation insurance program and other financial surety instruments such as

Table of Contents

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:

  in the open market for cash of $1.2 billion. Diluted earnings (losses) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2011 exclude any incremental shares that would have been issuable upon exchange of these notes based on a calculation using our stock price. Our stock price did not exceed the threshold during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

For all periods presented, the computation of diluted earnings (losses) per Nabors’ share excludes outstanding stock options and warrants with exercise prices greater than the average market price of Nabors’ common shares, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive and because they are not considered participating securities. The average number of options and warrants that were excluded from diluted earnings (losses) per share that would potentially dilute earnings per share in the future was 11,763,048 and 7,269,039 shares during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. In any period during which the average market price of Nabors’ common shares exceeds the exercise prices of these stock options and warrants, such stock options and warrants will be included in our diluted earnings (losses) per share computation using the if-converted method of accounting. Restricted stock will be included in our basic and diluted earnings (losses) per share computation using the two-class method of accounting in all periods because such stock is considered a participating security.

(1) All periods present the operating activities of our wholly owned oil and gas business in the United States, Canada and Colombia, including equity interests in Canada and Colombia, as well as our aircraft logistics operations in Canada as discontinued operations.

 

(2) Includes our drilling technology and top drive manufacturing, directional drilling, rig instrumentation and software, and construction services. These services represent our other companies that are not aggregated into a reportable operating segment.

 

(3) Includes earnings (losses), net from unconsolidated affiliates, accounted for using the equity method, of $(6.1) million and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

(4) Includes earnings (losses), net from unconsolidated affiliates, accounted for using the equity method, of $(62.6) million and $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

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

 

(6) Adjusted income (loss) derived from operating activities is computed by subtracting direct costs, general and administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization from Operating revenues and then adding Earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates (excluding our proportionate share of full-cost ceiling test writedowns recorded by our oil and gas joint venture). These amounts should not be used as a substitute for those amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management evaluates the performance of our business units and the consolidated company based on several criteria, including adjusted income (loss) derived from operating activities, because it believes that these financial measures accurately reflect our ongoing profitability. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, which is a GAAP measure, is provided in the above table.

 

(7) Includes earnings (losses), net from unconsolidated affiliates, accounted for using the equity method, of $5.6 million (excluding $68.2 million, which represents our proportionate share of full-cost ceiling test writedowns by our oil and gas joint venture) and $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

 

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

 

(9) Includes $68.8 million and $76.9 million of investments in unconsolidated affiliates accounted for using the equity method as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

of Nabors Industries Ltd.:

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Nabors Industries Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income and other comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 and the consolidated statements of cash flows and of changes in equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011. This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management.

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

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

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

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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

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

 

   

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

 

   

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

 

   

fluctuations in the demand for our services;
