HAMILTON,
Bermuda, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Nabors Industries Ltd. (“Nabors” or the “Company”)

Net loss attributable to Nabors’ shareholders for the quarter was $22 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter was $222 million.

2Q 2026 Highlights
o The SANAD land drilling joint venture deployed one newbuild rig in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, bringing
total newbuild deployments to 16. Three more are scheduled for 2026. In addition, SANAD reactivated another previously suspended rig.

NEWS
RELEASE
o Nabors added five rigs in the Lower 48 during the second quarter. One of these is drilling Quaise Energy’s
Project Obsidian, the first commercial superhot geothermal development. The Company’s working rig count in this market currently
stands at 73, bringing the increase to 15 rigs since November 2025.
o Two of the additional rigs in the Lower 48 were Nabors PACE-X Ultra® rigs. The PACE-X Ultra® combines
upgraded drilling capabilities, integrated automation and managed pressure drilling to enable operators to drill increasingly complex
wells.
o Canrig deployed the first Canrig TITAN™ (“Titan”) fully-automated rig floor wrench,
with field results exceeding high performance targets. Titan is designed to deliver greater accuracy, faster speed, and lower cost of
ownership than competing units.
Anthony G. Petrello, Nabors Chairman,
CEO and President, commented, “Second quarter results reflected another quarter of solid operational and financial progress. All
our operating segments exceeded the targets we set.
“In the Lower 48 market,
Nabors’ average rig count grew and we exceeded the expected exit rate. At the same time, daily gross margin outperformed our guidance.
We also gained market share and extended the duration of our contract backlog. Our strategy continues to align us with customers that
prioritize high-specification rigs, integrated technology and consistent operating execution in increasingly complex drilling environments.
“In our International Drilling
segment, we maintained reliable operations across the Gulf markets in the Middle East. In Saudi Arabia our SANAD joint venture added two
rigs, including a previously suspended rig that returned to service. Daily gross margin improved through greater operating efficiency
in several geographies and additional SANAD deployments.
“Drilling Solutions’
Lower 48 business delivered double-digit sequential revenue growth in the second quarter, with contributions on Nabors rigs as well as
third-party rigs. Performance Software, RigCLOUD®, and Managed Pressure Drilling led this growth.”
Segment Results
International
Drilling adjusted EBITDA was $131 million in the second quarter, compared to $121 million in the first quarter. Daily adjusted gross margin
for the second quarter increased by more than $650 from the first quarter, to $17,534. This increase reflects stronger execution, and
contributions from SANAD newbuild deployments.
The U.S.
Drilling segment reported second quarter adjusted EBITDA of $94 million, compared to $88 million in the previous quarter. Lower 48 results
improved as daily margin expanded 5% and the working fleet grew 4%. As expected, results from Offshore and Alaska operations declined
sequentially.

NEWS
RELEASE
Drilling
Solutions adjusted EBITDA was $40 million, compared to $39 million in the first quarter. Growth in the Lower 48 market was partially offset
by slightly lower international activity, mainly attributable to Surface & Tubular.
Rig Technologies
adjusted EBITDA increased to $3 million, compared to $1 million in the previous quarter. Aftermarket revenue accelerated sequentially,
reflecting higher customer activity. Capital Equipment revenue also improved as deliveries increased.
Adjusted Free Cash
Flow
Consolidated adjusted free cash
flow was $12 million in the second quarter. Adjusted free cash flow improved $60 million sequentially, reflecting higher profitability,
lower cash interest payments, and seasonal working-capital movements.
Miguel Rodriguez, Nabors CFO,
stated, “In the second quarter we delivered free cash flow slightly higher than our expectations. Capital spending for SANAD’s
newbuild program was lower than forecast, as the timing of a few construction milestones was delayed. Outside SANAD, working capital consumed
more cash than expected, impacting free cash flow.
“Our full-year outlook for
rig count in the Lower 48 has once again increased. We now expect to exit the third quarter with approximately 74 rigs running and to
expand slightly from that level through the remainder of the year. Our revised full-year consolidated capital spending now totals $710
to $730 million, a $25 million reduction at the midpoint of our previous range. For the SANAD newbuild program, capital spending is expected
to be in the range of $325 to $335 million. Previously the range was $360 to $380 million.
“We now expect full-year
adjusted EBITDA of $920 to $930 million and full-year adjusted free cash flow of $20 to $30 million. This outlook includes expected free
cash flow consumption at SANAD of $60 to $80 million. Our priority remains reducing debt and further strengthening the balance sheet while
supporting profitable growth, which we believe positions Nabors to enhance long-term shareholder value.”
Outlook
Nabors
expects the following metrics for the third quarter of 2026:
U.S.
Drilling
o Lower 48 average rig count of 73 rigs
o Lower 48 daily adjusted gross margin of approximately $13,800
o Alaska and Gulf of America combined adjusted EBITDA of approximately $11 million
International
o Average rig count of 94 - 96 rigs
o Daily adjusted gross margin of $18,100 - $18,400

o Adjusted free cash flow consumption of approximately $40 million, including free cash consumption at SANAD
of approximately $65 million
Mr. Petrello concluded, “Our
performance through the first half of the year has exceeded our expectations. As we look forward, we anticipate second-half adjusted EBITDA
to reach an annualized run-rate of $1 billion. Contracted rig additions across our drilling businesses provide strong visibility into
that outlook. At the same time, prudent capital allocation should support free cash flow expansion and further strengthening of the balance
sheet.”

Forward-looking Statements
The information included
in this press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, as disclosed by Nabors from time to time
in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result of these factors, Nabors' actual results may differ materially
from those indicated or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release
reflect management's estimates and beliefs as of the date of this press release. Nabors does not undertake to update these forward-looking
statements.
Non-GAAP Disclaimer
This press release
presents certain “non-GAAP” financial measures. The components of these non-GAAP measures are computed by using amounts
that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Adjusted
operating income (loss) represents income (loss) before income taxes, interest expense, investment income (loss), gain on bargain purchase,
and other, net. Adjusted EBITDA is computed similarly, but also excludes depreciation and amortization expenses. Adjusted gross margin
represents adjusted operating income (loss) plus general and administrative costs, research and engineering costs and depreciation and
amortization. In addition, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) exclude certain cash expenses that the Company is obligated
to make. Net debt is calculated as total debt minus the sum of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
Adjusted free cash flow represents net cash provided
by operating activities less cash used for capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sales of assets, and before cash paid for acquisition-related
costs. Management believes that adjusted free cash flow is an important liquidity measure for the Company and that it is useful to investors
and management as a measure of the Company’s ability to generate cash flow, after reinvesting in the Company for future growth,
that could be available for paying down debt or other financing cash flows, such as dividends to shareholders. Adjusted free cash flow
does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure
that should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, cash flow from operations reported in accordance with
GAAP.
5
NEWS
RELEASE
Each of these non-GAAP
measures has limitations and therefore should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with
GAAP. However, management evaluates the performance of its operating segments and the consolidated Company based on several criteria,
including Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted operating income (loss), net debt, and adjusted free cash flow, because it believes that these financial
measures accurately reflect the Company’s ongoing profitability, performance and liquidity. Securities analysts and investors
also use these measures as some of the metrics on which they analyze the Company’s performance. Other companies in this industry
may compute these measures differently. Reconciliations of consolidated adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss) to income
(loss) before income taxes, net debt to total debt, and adjusted free cash flow to net cash provided by operations, which are their nearest
comparable GAAP financial measures, are included in the tables at the end of this press release. We do not provide a forward-looking
reconciliation of our outlook for Segment Adjusted EBITDA, Segment Gross Margin or Adjusted Free Cash Flow, as the amount and significance
of items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures cannot be estimated at this time without unreasonable efforts.
These special items could be meaningful.

Adjusted
EBITDA represents net income (loss) before income tax expense (benefit), investment income (loss), interest expense, gain on bargain
purchase, other, net and depreciation and amortization. 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. In addition, adjusted EBITDA excludes certain cash
expenses that the Company is obligated to make. However, management evaluates the performance of its operating segments and the consolidated
Company based on several criteria, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss), because it believes that these
financial measures accurately reflect the Company’s ongoing profitability and performance. Securities analysts and investors
use this measure as one of the metrics on which they analyze the Company’s performance. Other companies in this industry may
compute these measures differently. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to net income (loss), 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 Net Income (Loss)".

Rig
revenue days represents the number of days the Company's rigs are contracted and performing under a contract during the period. These
would typically include days in which operating, standby and move revenue is earned.
(7)
Average
rigs working represents a measure of the average number of rigs operating during a given period. For example, one rig operating 45
days during a quarter represents approximately 0.5 average rigs working for the quarter. On an annual period, one rig operating 182.5
days represents approximately 0.5 average rigs working for the year. Average rigs working can also be calculated as rig revenue days
during the period divided by the number of calendar days in the period.
(8)
Daily
rig revenue represents operating revenue, divided by the total number of revenue days during the quarter.
(9)
Daily
adjusted gross margin represents operating revenue less direct costs, divided by the total number of rig revenue days during the
quarter.

expenses that the Company is obligated to make. However, management evaluates the performance of its operating segments and the consolidated
Company based on several criteria, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss), because it believes that these financial
measures accurately reflect the Company’s ongoing profitability and performance. Securities analysts and investors use
this measure as one of the metrics on which they analyze the Company’s performance. Other companies in this industry may compute

Adjusted
free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sales
of assets, and before cash paid for acquisition related costs. Management believes that adjusted free cash flow is an important liquidity
measure for the company and that it is useful to investors and management as a measure of the company’s ability to generate cash
flow, after reinvesting in the company for future growth, that could be available for paying down debt or other financing cash flows,
such as dividends to shareholders. Adjusted free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures.
Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior
to, cash flow from operations reported in accordance with GAAP.

Presentation
N A B O R S . C O M
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.
Such statements, including statements in this document that relate to matters that are not historical facts, are
“forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These “forward-looking statements” are
based on our 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.
Factors to consider when evaluating these forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
• geopolitical events, pandemics and other macro-events and their respective and collective impact on our
operations as well as oil and gas markets and prices;
• fluctuations and volatility in worldwide prices of and demand for oil and natural gas;
• fluctuations in levels of oil and natural gas exploration and development activities;
• fluctuations in the demand for our services;
• competitive and technological changes and other developments in the oil and gas and oilfield services
industries;
• our ability to renew customer contracts in order to maintain competitiveness;
• the existence of operating risks inherent in the oil and gas and oilfield services industries;
• the possibility of the loss of one or a number of our large customers;
• the amount and nature of our future capital expenditures and how we expect to fund our capital
expenditures;

• our ability to retain skilled employees;
• our ability to realize the expected benefits of strategic transactions we may undertake;
• changes in tax laws and the possibility of changes in other laws and regulation;
• global views on and the regulatory environment related to energy transition and our ability to implement our
energy transition initiatives;
• potential long-lived asset impairments
• the possibility of changes to U.S. trade policies and regulations including the imposition of trade embargoes,

Our businesses depend, to a large degree, on the level of spending by oil and gas companies for exploration,
development and production activities. Therefore, sustained lower oil or natural gas prices that have a material
impact on exploration, development or production activities could also materially affect our financial position, results
of operations and cash flows.
The above description of risks and uncertainties is by no means all-inclusive but is designed to highlight what we
believe are important factors to consider. For a discussion of these factors and other risks and uncertainties, please
refer to our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), including those contained in our Annual
Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are available at the SEC's website at
www.sec.gov. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of
new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This presentation refers to certain “non-GAAP” financial measures, such as adjusted EBITDA, net debt, adjusted gross
margin and adjusted free cash flow. The components of these non-GAAP measures are computed by using amounts
that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
(“GAAP”). Other companies in our industry may compute these metrics differently. These measures have limitations
and should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to
Net Income (Loss)
26
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before, income taxes, investment income (loss), interest expense, gain on bargain purchase, other, net and depreciation and
amortization. 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.
In addition, adjusted EBITDA excludes certain cash expenses that the Company is obligated to make. However, management evaluates the performance of its operating
segments and the consolidated Company based on several criteria, including adjusted EBITDA and adjusted operating income (loss), because it believes that these
financial measures accurately reflect the Company’s ongoing profitability and performance. Securities analysts and investors use this measure as one of the metrics on
which they analyze the Company’s performance. Other companies in this industry may compute these measures differently. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to
net income (loss), which is the most closely comparable GAAP measure, is provided in the table below.

Reconciliation of Net Debt to Total Debt
28
Net debt is computed by subtracting the sum of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments from total debt. This non-GAAP measure has limitations and
therefore should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management evaluates the performance
of its operating segments and the consolidated Company based on several criteria, including net debt, because it believes that this financial measure accurately
measures the Company’s liquidity. In addition, securities analysts and investors use this measure as one of the metrics on which they analyze the Company’s
performance. Other companies in this industry may compute this measure differently. A reconciliation of net debt to total debt, which is the nearest comparable
GAAP financial measure, is provided in the table below.

Reconciliation of Adjusted Free Cash Flow to Net Cash
Provided by Operating Activities
31
Adjusted free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities less cash used for capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sales of assets, and
before cash paid for acquisition related costs. Management believes that adjusted free cash flow is an important liquidity measure for the Company and that it is
useful to investors and management as a measure of the company’s ability to generate cash flow, after reinvesting in the Company for future growth, that could be
available for paying down debt or other financing cash flows, such as dividends to shareholders. Adjusted free cash flow does not represent the residual cash flow
available for discretionary expenditures. Adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for
or superior to, cash flow from operations reported in accordance with GAAP.
