NABORS INDUSTRIES LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 RECENT CORPORATE REORGANIZATION
Effective June 24, 2002, Nabors Industries Ltd., a Bermuda exempted
company (Nabors), became the successor to Nabors Industries, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (Nabors Delaware), following a corporate reorganization. The
reorganization was accomplished through the merger of an indirect, newly formed
Delaware subsidiary owned by Nabors into Nabors Delaware. Nabors Delaware was
the surviving company in the merger and became a wholly-owned, indirect
subsidiary of Nabors. Upon consummation of the merger, all outstanding shares of
Nabors Delaware common stock automatically converted into the right to receive
Nabors common shares, with the result that the shareholders of Nabors Delaware
on the date of the merger became the shareholders of Nabors. Nabors and its
subsidiaries continue to conduct the businesses previously conducted by Nabors
Delaware and its subsidiaries. The reorganization has been accounted for as a
reorganization of entities under common control and accordingly, it did not
result in any changes to the consolidated amounts of assets, liabilities and
stockholders' equity.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Financial Information
The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Nabors are prepared
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America, or US GAAP. Nabors is the successor to Nabors Delaware following a
corporate reorganization, as described in Note 1. Pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the US Securities and Exchange Commission, certain information
and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements
prepared in accordance with US 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, 2001. In our management's opinion, the
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present
fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2002, and the results of our
operations, for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,
2002 and 2001 and our consolidated statements of changes in stockholders' equity
and of cash flows for each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and
2001, in accordance with US GAAP. Interim results for the six months ended June
30, 2002 may not be indicative of results that will be realized for the full
year ending December 31, 2002.
Our independent accountants have performed a review of, and issued a
report on, these consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with
standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
Pursuant to Rule 436(c) under the US Securities Act of 1933, this report should
not be considered a part of any registration statement prepared or certified
within the meanings of Sections 7 and 11 of the Securities Act.
Principles of Consolidation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nabors
and all majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
Investments in entities where we have the ability to exert significant
influence, but where we do not control their operating and financial policies,
are accounted for using the equity method. Our share of the net income of these
entities is recorded as earnings from unconsolidated affiliates in the
consolidated statements of income, and our investment in these entities is
carried as a single amount in the consolidated balance sheets. Investments in
net assets of affiliated entities accounted for using the equity method totaled
$58.9 million and $55.1 million as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001,
respectively, and are included in other long-term assets in the consolidated
balance sheets.
Reclassifications
Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made to prior periods to
conform to the current period presentation, with no effect on our consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows (See Recent Accounting
Pronouncements).
Property, Plant and Equipment
Effective October 1, 2001, we changed the depreciable lives of our
drilling and workover rigs from 4,200 to 4,900 active days, our jackup rigs from
4,200 to 8,030 active days and certain other drilling equipment to better
reflect the estimated useful lives of these assets. The effect of this change in
accounting estimate was accounted for on a prospective
6
basis beginning October 1, 2001 and increased net income by approximately $5.1
million ($.03 per diluted share) for the current quarter and approximately $10.7
million ($.07 per diluted share) for the six months ended June 30, 2002.
Foreign Currency Risk
We operate in a number of international areas and are involved in
transactions denominated in currencies other than US dollars, which exposes us
to foreign exchange rate risk. The most significant exposures arise in
connection with our operations in Canada and Saudi Arabia, which usually are
substantially unhedged. In Saudi Arabia, upon renewal of our contracts, we have
been converting riyal-denominated contracts to US dollar-denominated contracts
in order to reduce our exposure to the Saudi riyal even though that currency has
been pegged to the US dollar at a rate of 3.745 Saudi riyal to 1.00 US dollar
since 1986. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to convert future
riyal-denominated contracts to US dollar-denominated contracts or that the riyal
exchange rate will continue in effect as in the past.
At various times, we utilize local currency borrowings (foreign
currency denominated debt), the payment structure of customer contracts and
foreign exchange contracts to selectively hedge our exposure to exchange rate
fluctuations in connection with monetary assets, liabilities, cash flows and
commitments denominated in certain foreign currencies. A foreign exchange
contract is a foreign currency transaction, defined as an agreement to exchange
different currencies at a given future date and at a specified rate.
On March 26, 2002, in anticipation of closing the Enserco acquisition
discussed in Note 3, we entered into two foreign exchange contracts with a total
notional value of Cdn. $115.9 million and maturity dates of April 29, 2002.
Additionally, on April 9, 2002, we entered into a third foreign exchange
contract with a notional value of Cdn. $50.0 million maturing April 29, 2002.
The notional amounts of these contracts were used to fund the cash portion of
the Enserco acquisition purchase price. The notional amounts of these contracts
represented the amount of foreign currency purchased at maturity and did not
represent our exposure on these contracts. Although such contracts served as an
economic hedge against our foreign currency risk related to the cash portion of
the acquisition cost, we accounted for these contracts as speculative as
required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" and therefore
marked them to market as of March 31, 2002. We recorded a US $.17 million loss
in our statement of income as of March 31, 2002. Upon maturity of these foreign
exchange contracts on April 29, 2002, we recognized a gain of approximately US
$1.95 million in our statement of income for the three months ended June 30,
2002.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", addresses the
accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets after an acquisition. The
most significant changes made by SFAS 142 are: (1) goodwill and intangible
assets with indefinite lives no longer will be amortized; (2) goodwill and
intangible assets with indefinite lives must be tested for impairment at least
annually; and (3) the amortization period for those intangible assets with
finite lives no longer will be limited to 40 years. The effect of no longer
amortizing goodwill would have increased net income by approximately $1.1
million ($.01 per diluted share) for the prior year quarter and approximately
$2.3 million ($.01 per diluted share) for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
We adopted SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002 and during the current
quarter, we performed our initial goodwill impairment assessment as required. As
part of that assessment, we determined that our 11 business units represent our
reporting units as defined by SFAS 142. We determined the aggregate carrying
values and fair values of all such reporting units, both of which were measured
as of the January 1, 2002 adoption date. We calculated the fair value of each
reporting unit based on discounted cash flows and determined there was no
goodwill impairment.
We adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets", effective January 1, 2002, as required. This statement
addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of
long-lived assets. Due to the nature of our business, this new accounting
pronouncement had no impact on our reported results of operations or financial
position.
We adopted SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and
64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections", effective
April 1, 2002. Due to the nature of our business, Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) 44, 64 and Amendment of FASB 13 are not applicable. SFAS 145
eliminates SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt",
and states that gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt should be
classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria in Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of
Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions". APB
30 defines extraordinary items as events and transactions that are distinguished
by their unusual nature and by the infrequency of their occurrence. Accordingly,
we no longer classify gains and losses from extinguishment of debt that are
usual and frequent as extraordinary items and we reclassified to other income
any similar debt extinguishment items that had been reported as extraordinary
items in prior accounting periods. In conjunction with adopting SFAS 145 we
reclassified an extraordinary loss recorded during the first quarter of the year
totaling $.13 million, net of taxes of $.08 million, to other income with the
related income tax component
7
reclassified to income tax expense.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". This statement will require us to
recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are
incurred rather than when we commit to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of
costs covered by this guidance include lease termination costs, employee
severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued
operations, plant closings or other exit or disposal activities. The provisions
of this statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31,
2002 and will impact any exit or disposal activities initiated after January 1,
2003. This statement does not currently impact Nabors.
We adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 01-14, "Income
Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out-of-Pocket Expenses
Incurred", in the current quarter. Previously, we recognized reimbursements
received as a reduction to the related direct costs. EITF 01-14 requires that
reimbursements received be included in operating revenues and "out-of-pocket"
expenses be included in direct costs. Accordingly, reimbursements received from
our customers have been reclassified to revenues for all periods presented. The
effect of adopting EITF 01-14 increased operating revenues and direct costs from
previously reported amounts by $12.9 million and $16.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and $28.0 million and $33.8 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
NOTE 3 ACQUISITIONS
On March 18, 2002, we acquired, for cash, 20.5% of the issued and
outstanding shares of Enserco Energy Service Company, Inc., a Canadian
publicly-held corporation, for Cdn. $15.50 per share for a total price of Cdn.
$83.2 million (US $52.6 million). At March 31, 2002, our investment in Enserco
was accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
On April 26, 2002, we completed our acquisition of Enserco by
purchasing their remaining outstanding shares for Cdn. $15.65 per share by
paying cash of Cdn. $100.1 million (US $64.1 million) and by issuing 2,638,526
shares of Nabors Delaware common stock and 910,556 shares of exchangeable stock
of Nabors Exchangeco (Canada) Inc., an indirect wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary
of Nabors Delaware. The Nabors Exchangeco shares are exchangeable for Nabors
common shares on a one-for-one basis. Additionally, these exchangeable shares
have essentially identical rights as Nabors common shares, including but not
limited to voting rights and the right to receive dividends, if any. The value
of the Nabors Delaware and Nabors Exchangeco shares issued totaled Cdn. $254.2
million, or US $162.8 million. Enserco's results of operations were consolidated
into ours commencing on April 26, 2002. In addition, we assumed Enserco debt
totaling Cdn. $33.4 million (US $21.3 million). The Enserco purchase price has
been allocated based on preliminary estimates of the fair market value of assets
acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date and resulted in
goodwill of approximately US $100 million. The purchase price allocation for the
Enserco acquisition is subject to adjustment as additional information becomes
available and will be finalized by December 31, 2002.
Enserco provided land drilling, well-servicing and workover services in
Canada and operated a fleet of 193 well-servicing rigs and 30 drilling rigs on
the acquisition date. The Enserco acquisition increases our position in Canada
with assets that are relatively new and in excellent condition, allowing us to
provide services to many of our key US customers who have increased their
presence in Canada as it has become even more strategic to the North American
gas supply market.
In late June 2002, Nabors acquired the RBF 209 for approximately $21
million. This 200 foot, mat support, cantilever jackup has been renamed Nabors
Rig 659. It is being upgraded at a cost of approximately $4.5 million for work
on a 4.5 year contract in Mexico for PEMEX commencing September 2002.
NOTE 4 LONG-TERM DEBT
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, we purchased $.6 million
face value of our 8-5/8% senior subordinated notes due April 2008 in the open
market at a price of 108%. In addition, we purchased $4.7 million face value of
our 6.8% senior unsecured notes due April 2004 in the open market at a price of
104%. Upon settlement of these transactions, we paid $5.7 million and recognized
a pretax loss of approximately $.2 million, resulting from the repurchases of
these notes at prices higher than the amounts recorded on our books.
Additionally, we paid off Cdn. $21.0 million (US $13.2 million) of the debt
assumed in the Enserco acquisition. In the first quarter of 2002, we made a $2.5
million scheduled principal payment relating to our medium-term notes.
As a result of the reorganization, discussed in Note 1, we may have
failed to comply with a covenant contained in our $200 million credit facility
agreement and a related $30 million letter of credit facility. At the time of
the default, there were no outstanding borrowings on the $200 million unsecured
revolving credit facility and approximately $23 million outstanding on the
related letter of credit facility. Since the $200 million credit facility was
scheduled to mature on September 5, 2002 and we had cash, short-term and
long-term marketable securities balances as of July 31, 2002 totaling $814.3
million, we have notified the bank that we are terminating the facility. We plan
on replacing this credit facility with a similar facility during the fourth
quarter of 2002. The bank has provided a waiver on the letter of credit
facility.

NOTE 5 COMMON SHARES
In conjunction with our acquisition of Enserco during April, Nabors
Delaware issued 2,638,526 shares of Nabors Delaware common stock and 910,556
shares of exchangeable stock of Nabors Exchangeco (Canada) Inc. that is now
exchangeable for our common shares on a one-for-one basis (Note 3). The
exchangeable stock has been recorded as an increase in capital in excess of par
value. Subsequent to the acquisition 181,789 Exchangeco shares have been
exchanged, resulting in approximately 728,767 exchangeable shares outstanding as
of June 30, 2002.
As a result of the corporate reorganization (Note 1), the authorized
share capital of Nabors consists of 400 million common shares, par value $.001
per share, and 25 million preferred shares, par value $.001 per share. Common
shares issued were 144,368,390 at $.001 par value at June 30, 2002 compared to
144,368,390 at $.10 par value immediately preceding the reorganization. The
decrease in par value of common stock from $.10 to $.001 is recorded as an
increase to capital in excess of par value and a decrease in common shares in
our Consolidated Financial Statements.
In conjunction with the reorganization, 6.8 million shares of treasury
stock outstanding were retired, as Bermuda law does not recognize the concept of
treasury stock. The effect of this retirement reduced common shares by $.7
million, capital in excess of par value by $59.2 million and retained earnings
by $192.9 million.
NOTE 6 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Capital Expenditures
As of June 30, 2002, we had outstanding capital expenditure purchase
commitments of approximately $36.0 million primarily for rig-related enhancing
and sustaining capital expenditures.
Contingencies
Self Insurance Accruals. Nabors is self-insured for certain losses
relating to workers' compensation, general liability, property damage and
employee medical benefits. Effective April 1, 2002, our exposure (that is our
deductible) per occurrence ranges from $1.0 million for workers' compensation to
between $2.0 million and $5.0 million for employer liability, Jones Act and
general liability and $10.0 million for rig physical damage. Therefore, we are
self-insured for rigs with replacement values less than $10.0 million. As a
result, if a Nabors' rig with a net book value of $9.0 million was destroyed, we
would record a $9.0 million loss in the period in which the loss event occurred.
In previous years, we had physical damage insurance for essentially all of our
rigs, with a substantially lower deductible of $.25 million per occurrence.
Thus, historically we have not recorded material losses in our financial
statements related to the destruction of one of our rigs. We have purchased
stop-loss coverage in order to limit our aggregate exposure to certain physical
damage claims for insured rigs, that is those rigs with replacement values in
excess of $10.0 million. The effect of this coverage is that our maximum
physical damage loss on insured rigs would be $20.0 million plus $1.0 million
per occurrence. There is no assurance that such coverage will adequately protect
Nabors against liability from all potential consequences.
Litigation. In Verdin v. R&B Falcon Drilling USA, Inc., et al., Civil
Action No. G-00-488, in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of Texas, Galveston Division, the class action lawsuit against our
offshore drilling subsidiaries alleging, among other things, conspiracy to
depress wages and benefits paid to our offshore employees, we have reached a
settlement, which was approved by the court on April 22, 2002. The settlement
payment was made in the second quarter, and the amount paid by Nabors'
subsidiaries was not material to Nabors.
On May 23, 2002, Steve Rosenberg, an individual shareholder of the
company, filed a complaint against the company and its directors in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (Civil Action No.
02-1942), alleging that Nabors' May 10, 2002 proxy statement/prospectus
contained certain material misstatements and omissions in violation of federal
securities laws and state law. Nabors' May 10, 2002 proxy statement/prospectus
was sent to shareholders in connection with the special meeting to consider and
vote on Nabors' proposed reorganization and effective reincorporation in
Bermuda. The AFL-CIO moved to intervene in Civil Action No. 02-1942 and filed a
complaint containing similar allegations. On June 5, 2002, Marilyn Irey, an
individual shareholder of the company, filed a complaint in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of Texas (Civil Action No. 02-2108)
that is nearly identical to Steve Rosenberg's complaint. The three shareholders
requested that the Court either enjoin the closing of the shareholder vote on
the scheduled date or the effectuation of the reorganization. In addition, two
of the shareholders (Steve Rosenberg and Marilyn Irey) purported to bring a
class action on behalf of all shareholders, alleging that Nabors and its
directors violated their state law fiduciary duties by making these alleged
misstatements and omissions. These two shareholders, on behalf of their
purported class, seek monetary damages for their state law claims. Since the
beginning of the litigation, two of the shareholders (Steve Rosenberg and the
AFL-CIO) have amended their complaints, but have not added any substantive
allegations.
On June 13, 2002, the Court granted the AFL-CIO's motion to intervene.
On June 15, 2002, the Court denied a motion for temporary restraining order
brought by two of the shareholders (Steve Rosenberg and the AFL-CIO) in their
9
attempts to prevent the closing of Nabors' reorganization and its effective
reincorporation in Bermuda. On July 2, 2002, the Court granted an agreed motion
to consolidate Civil Action No. 02-2108 into Civil Action No. 02-1942. Nabors
and its directors have moved to dismiss the lawsuits of all three shareholders,
and that motion is currently pending. Nabors and its directors believe that the
allegations in this lawsuit are without merit, and Nabors and its directors will
defend vigorously the claims brought against them. We are unable, however, to
predict the outcome of this action or the costs to be incurred in connection
with its defense and there can be no assurance that this litigation will be
resolved in our favor.
Nabors and its subsidiaries are defendants or otherwise involved in a
number of other lawsuits in the ordinary course of their business. In the
opinion of management, Nabors' ultimate liability with respect to these pending
lawsuits is not expected to have a significant or material adverse effect on
Nabors' consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

those periods would have been dilutive. Diluted earnings per share for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 does not reflect the
assumed conversion of our $825 million and $1.381 billion zero coupon
convertible senior debentures, as the conversion in those periods would

NOTE 11 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Share and Debt Repurchase Programs
On July 17, 2002, the Board of Directors of Nabors authorized the
continuation of the share repurchase program that had begun under Nabors
Delaware, and provided that the amount of Nabors common shares authorized for
purchase by Nabors going forward was up to $400 million. Under the Nabors
Delaware program, Nabors Delaware had acquired an aggregate of approximately
$248.0 million of Nabors Delaware common stock, or 6.2 million shares. Pursuant
to Bermuda law, any shares, when purchased, will be treated as cancelled, the
amount of Nabors' issued capital will be diminished by the nominal value of
those shares repurchased and retained earnings will be reduced by the
incremental difference between the cost of issuance and the cost of the shares
repurchased. A repurchase of shares will not have the effect of reducing the
amount of Nabors' authorized share capital. Additionally, the Board approved the
repurchase of up to $400 million of outstanding debt securities of Nabors and
its subsidiaries. These amounts may be increased or decreased at the discretion
of the Board, depending upon market conditions and consideration of the best
interest of shareholder value. Repurchases may be conducted either on the open
market, negotiated transactions, or by other means, from time to time, depending
upon market conditions and other factors.
On July 23, 2002, we entered into a private transaction with a
counterparty in which we sold 1.0 million European-style put options for $2.6
million with a maturity date of October 23, 2002. If the price of our common
shares is below $26.5698 on the maturity date, we anticipate that the
counterparty will exercise the put option which will result in, at our option
(1) our purchase of 1.0 million of our common shares at a price of $26.5698 per
share or (2) our payment, in cash or Nabors common shares, of an amount equal to
the difference between $26.5698 and our stock price on October 23, 2002
multiplied by 1.0 million. If the price of our common shares is above $26.5698
on the maturity date, we anticipate that the counterparty will let the option
expire. In either case, we retain the $2.6 million in proceeds which was
recorded as an increase in capital in excess of par value in July 2002.
On August 2, 2002, Nabors acquired, through a subsidiary, 91,000 of its
common shares in the open market for $27.30 per share for an aggregate price,
including commissions, of $2.5 million. The shares will be recorded by the
subsidiary as an investment in Nabors, and will be eliminated in consolidation.
So long as the Nabors common shares are held by a subsidiary, they will be
issued and outstanding and will have the same rights as other outstanding
shares.
19
Interest Rate Hedge Transaction
On July 24, 2002, we entered into an interest rate hedge transaction
with a third party financial institution to manage and mitigate interest rate
risk exposure relative to a contemplated debt financing transaction of an
indeterminate amount. Under the agreement, we agreed to receive (pay) cash from
(to) the counterparty based on the difference between 4.43% and the 10-year
Treasury rate on August 23, 2002, based on a $100.0 million notional amount with
semi-annual interest payments over a 10-year maturity. In accordance with SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as
amended, we will account for this transaction as a cash flow hedge.
Proposed Acquisition of Ryan Energy Technologies, Inc.
On August 12, 2002, Nabors entered into an arrangement agreement with
Ryan Energy Technologies, Inc., Canadian corporation that provides drilling
technology and services and data management solutions for the energy industry.
Pursuant to the agreement, Nabors, through a Canadian subsidiary, will offer
Cdn. $1.85 for each Ryan common share. Ryan shareholders will have the option to
elect to receive Cdn. $1.85 in cash or the equivalent value in exchangeable
shares of Nabors Exchangeco (Canada) Inc., which shares will be exchangeable for
Nabors common shares. The exchangeable shares will have the same voting rights,
dividend entitlements and other attributes as Nabors common shares, will be
exchangeable, at each shareholder's option, on a one-for-one basis, into Nabors
common shares and will be listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange. The exchangeable
shares will be automatically exchanged upon the occurrence of certain events.
The transaction is to be effected by way of a Plan of Arrangement.
The arrangement agreement has been unanimously approved by the Board of
Directors of Ryan and the Plan of Arrangement will require the approval of the
Court of Queen's Bench of Alberta and the approval of at least 66 2/3% of the
Ryan shareholders and optionholders, voting as a single class, at a meeting to
be held for that purpose. The Board of Directors of Ryan has received an opinion
from its financial advisor, Peters & Co. Limited, that the consideration under
the arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Ryan
shareholders. The arrangement agreement contains certain closing conditions,
including Nabors being satisfied regarding certain due diligence reviews of
Ryan's technology, customary non-solicitation provisions and a termination fee
payable by Ryan of Cdn. $1.75 million under certain circumstances. Nabors
retains the right to match competing proposals should they arise.
Certain shareholders and optionholders of Ryan who own or control an
aggregate of 4,454,058 Ryan common shares and 450,000 options to acquire Ryan
common shares, which constitute approximately 21% of the outstanding common
shares of Ryan (diluted for in-the-money options), have agreed, subject to the
terms and conditions of those agreements, to vote their Ryan common shares and
options in favor of the arrangement. As a result of such agreements, Nabors may
be considered to have acquired ownership, control or direction over such shares.
Nabors did not previously own or exercise control or direction over any
securities of Ryan.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
of Nabors Industries Ltd.:
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Nabors
Industries Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2002, and the related
consolidated statements of income for each of the three-month and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and the consolidated statements of changes
in stockholders' equity and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June
30, 2002 and 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, 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 statements for them
to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
We previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of December
31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in
stockholders' equity and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein), and in our report dated January 23, 2002, except for Note 16, as to
which the date is March 18, 2002, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those
consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS AND SIX
MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2001
Operating revenues and Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates for the
second quarter of fiscal year 2002 totaled $356.5 million, representing a
decrease of $255.0 million, or 42%, as compared to the prior year period.
Current quarter income derived from operating activities and net income totaled
$37.5 million and $25.4 million ($.17 per diluted share), respectively,
representing decreases of 77% and 76% compared to the prior year period.
Operating revenues and Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates for the first six
months of fiscal year 2002 totaled $743.4 million, representing a decrease of
$409.3 million, or 36%, as compared to the prior year period. Income derived
from operating activities and net income totaled $98.6 million and $67.4 million
($.45 per diluted share), respectively, representing decreases of 65% and 64%
compared to the prior year period. Income derived from operating activities is
computed by: subtracting direct costs, general and administrative expenses, and
depreciation and amortization expense from Operating revenues and then adding
Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates.
The decrease in our operating results during the current three-month
and six-month periods as compared to the prior year periods is due to the
continuing weak environment in several key markets, driven primarily by lower
levels of activity resulting from the weakness in the price of natural gas and
oil that began in the second half of 2001. Natural gas prices (per the Bloomberg
average US natural gas spot price), which averaged $2.77 per mcf during the
first six months of 2002, were down significantly from the $5.17 per mcf average
during the prior year period. Oil prices (per the Bloomberg average West Texas
Intermediate crude oil spot price) averaged $24.01 per barrel during the first
six months of 2002, down from $28.31 per barrel during the prior year period.
The corresponding decline in our rig activity resulted in declining overall
profitability for Nabors. These lower activity levels have been experienced by
most of our business units, with the sharpest decline coming from our US Lower
48 land drilling business, as the number of working rigs and their average
dayrates and gross margins continued to decline. The decrease in North American
land and offshore drilling activity is illustrated by the drilling industry's
lower total active land and offshore rig count. The average US land, Canadian
land and US offshore rig counts during the six months ended June 30, 2002 were
all lower by 32% than the corresponding prior year period.
Looking forward, we expect improvements in most of our operations
through the end of the year with the largest increase coming from our Canadian
and international units. The anticipated improvement in Canada is expected to
result from the seasonal increase in activity following spring breakup and the
contributions from our recent acquisition of Enserco Energy Service Company,
Inc. Our markets outside of North America have a favorable near-term outlook,
particularly in our international offshore markets where we anticipate a number
of further rig deployments and continued strong bid prospects. In the US Gulf of
Mexico, we expect a modest improvement in the near term with a more meaningful
increase likely longer term. The remainder of our businesses, primarily those
that are largely directed to the North American gas markets, are stable and we
anticipate improving market conditions throughout the remainder of the year.

Contract drilling. This segment includes our drilling, workover and
well-servicing operations, on land and offshore. Second quarter 2002 Operating
revenues and Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates for the contract drilling
segment totaled $326.2 million and income derived from operating activities
totaled $39.7 million, representing decreases of 43% and 73%, respectively,
compared to the prior year quarter. Equivalent rig years (excluding labor
contracts and land well-servicing rigs) decreased to 194.6 years during the
second quarter of 2002 from an average of 353.6 years during the prior year
quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, contract drilling Operating
revenues and Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates totaled $684.6 million and
income derived from operating activities totaled $100.9 million, representing
decreases of 36% and 61%, respectively, compared to the prior year period.
Equivalent rig years decreased to 203.9 years from an average of 349.3 years
during the prior year period.
Alaskan drilling revenues decreased during the current quarter due to
lower equivalent rig years, partially offset by higher average dayrates and
increased year-to-date due to higher average dayrates. Equivalent rig years in
Alaska decreased to 9.6 years during the current quarter from 10.5 years in the
prior year quarter and decreased slightly to 10.5 years during the six months
ended June 30, 2002 from 10.6 years during the prior year period.
US Lower 48 drilling revenues decreased dramatically during the current
quarter and year-to-date as a result of decreased demand for drilling services.
The protracted weakness of the North American natural gas market has resulted in
significant declines in both equivalent rig years and dayrates. US Lower 48
equivalent rig years decreased to 105.6 years during the current quarter from
242.5 years during the prior year quarter and decreased to 106.7 years during
the first six months of 2002 from 231.8 years during the prior year period.
US land well-servicing operations decreased during the current quarter
and year-to-date due to decreased activity primarily resulting from lower oil
prices and, to a lesser extent, lower natural gas prices. US land well-servicing
hours decreased to 415,000 hours during the current quarter from 505,000 hours
during the prior year quarter and decreased to 815,000 hours during the six
months ended June 30, 2002 from 984,000 hours during the prior year period.
US Offshore revenues decreased during the current quarter and
year-to-date due to decreased drilling activity resulting from lower natural gas
and oil prices. Offshore equivalent rig years decreased to 14.5 years during the
current quarter from 34.1 years during the prior year quarter and decreased to
14.7 years during the first six months of 2002 from 32.7 years during the prior
year period.
Canadian revenues increased during the current quarter and year-to-date
due to the increase in well-servicing revenues resulting from the acquisition of
Enserco in April 2002. Drilling revenues decreased due to lower activity.
Equivalent rig years in Canada decreased to 11.4 years during the current
quarter from 14.9 years during the prior year quarter and decreased to 19.1
years during the first six months of 2002 from 22.0 years during the prior year
period. Canadian well-servicing hours totaled 31,000 hours from April 26, 2002
through June 30, 2002.
International revenues increased during the current quarter and
year-to-date due to higher average dayrates and rig years. International
equivalent rig years increased to 53.5 years during the current quarter from
51.6 years during the prior year quarter and increased to 52.9 years during the
first six months of 2002 from 52.2 years during the prior year period.
Equivalent rig years include our percentage ownership of rigs from
unconsolidated affiliates which totaled 3.5 and 3.3 during the three months
ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and 3.5 and 3.0 during the six months ended June
30, 2002 and 2001.
Manufacturing and logistics. This segment includes our supply vessel,
top drive manufacturing, rig instrumentation and software, and construction and
transportation operations. Manufacturing and logistics Operating revenues and
Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates were $40.2 million during the current
quarter, representing a decrease of 46% compared with the prior year quarter.
Income derived from operating activities for this segment decreased to $7.2
million compared to $27.8 million, representing a decrease of 74% compared to
the prior year quarter. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, manufacturing
and logistics Operating revenues and Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates
totaled $79.9 million and income derived from operating activities totaled $16.4
million, representing decreases of 42% and 68%, respectively. Decreases in this
segment resulted primarily from decreased top drive sales for our manufacturing
operation, decreased rig move activity for our transportation operation and
lower equivalent vessel years for our supply vessel operation. Equivalent supply
vessel years decreased to 18.9 years during the current quarter from 25.9 years
during the prior year quarter and decreased to 17.7 years during the six months
ended June 30, 2002 from 25.9 years during the prior year period.
Other Financial Information. Our gross margin percentage decreased to
31% in the current quarter from 39% in the prior year period and decreased to
32% in the first six months of 2002 from 38% in the prior year period. This
percentage is calculated by dividing gross margin by operating revenues. Gross
margin is calculated by subtracting direct costs from operating revenues. The
decrease in our gross margin percentage during the three and six months ended
June 30, 2002 is primarily due to lower average dayrates in our US Lower 48
drilling and US Offshore operations.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $1.0 million, or 3%,
in the current quarter and by $1.4 million, or 2%, in the first six months
compared to the prior year periods due to decreased rig activity, partially
offset by increases due to the Command Drilling Corporation and Enserco
acquisitions. As a percentage of operating revenues, general and
25
administrative expenses increased during the current quarter (9.5% vs. 5.6%) and
year-to-date (9.1% vs. 5.9%), compared to the prior year periods, as these
expenses were spread over a lower revenue base.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $2.8 million, or 5%,
in the current quarter and by $2.8 million or 3%, in the first six months
compared to the prior year periods. Effective January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS
142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", and we no longer amortize goodwill.
The effect of this change would have increased net income by approximately $1.1
million ($.01 per diluted share) for the prior year quarter and approximately
$2.3 million ($.01 per diluted share) for the six months ended June 30, 2001. In
addition, effective October 1, 2001, we changed the depreciable lives of our
drilling and workover rigs from 4,200 to 4,900 active days, our jackup rigs from
4,200 to 8,030 active days and certain other drilling equipment to better
reflect the estimated useful lives of these assets. The effect of this change in
accounting estimate was accounted for on a prospective basis beginning October
1, 2001 and increased net income by approximately $5.1 million ($.03 per diluted
share) for the current quarter and approximately $10.7 million ($.07 per diluted
share) for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Depreciation expense also
decreased due to lower rig utilization. Partially offsetting these items was an
increase in depreciation expense related to capital expenditures for projects
that went into service subsequent to June 30, 2001.
Interest expense increased year-to-date due to higher average
outstanding debt balances and higher amortization of deferred financing costs
compared to the prior year period. This was partially offset by the debt buy
back that occurred in December 2001. Interest income decreased during the
current quarter and year-to-date due to a significant decrease in interest rates
earned on our investments resulting from the overall lower interest rate
environment, in addition to a lower average balance invested as compared to the
prior year period.
Other income decreased during the first six months of 2002 primarily
due to lower gains on marketable securities, losses incurred on dispositions of
long-term assets compared to gains incurred on such transactions in the prior
year period and reorganization charges relating to the corporate reorganization.
These unfavorable variances were partially offset by a gain realized from the
foreign exchange contracts relating to the Enserco acquisition and miscellaneous
other items.
Our effective tax rate was 25% during the current quarter and
year-to-date compared to 37% in the comparable prior year periods. This lower
effective tax rate is primarily due to a higher proportion of our earnings being
generated from our International operations that are generally taxed at lower
effective tax rates than our US operations.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 2002, we had cash and cash equivalents and investments
in marketable securities totaling $789.5 million. In addition, we generate
significant cash from operations over the course of a twelve-month period. Our
ability to raise money in the public markets is enhanced by our senior unsecured
debt ratings as provided by Moody's Investor Service and Standard & Poor's which
are currently "A3" and "A-", respectively.
We had working capital of $707.7 million as of June 30, 2002,
representing a $6.9 million increase compared to December 31, 2001. The increase
in working capital is primarily attributable to the increase in short-term
marketable securities and decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities,
partially offset by decreases in cash and accounts receivable.
Our funded debt to capital ratio was 0.42:1 as of June 30, 2002,
compared to 0.46:1 as of December 31, 2001. Our net funded debt to capital ratio
was 0.27:1 as of June 30, 2002, compared to 0.26:1 as of December 31, 2001.
Funded debt to capital ratio is calculated by dividing funded debt by funded
debt plus capital. Funded debt is defined as the sum of (1) short-term
borrowings, (2) current portion of long-term debt and (3) long-term debt.
Capital is defined as stockholders' equity. The net funded debt to capital ratio
considers cash and cash equivalents, short-term marketable securities and
long-term marketable securities as an additional offset against funded debt.
This ratio is calculated by dividing net funded debt by net funded debt plus
capital. Both of these ratios are a method for calculating the amount of
leverage a company has in relation to its capital. Our interest coverage ratio
was 9.5:1 as of June 30, 2002, compared to 13.3:1 as of December 31, 2001. The
interest coverage ratio is computed by calculating the sum of earnings before
interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization expense
(EBITDA) and then dividing by interest expense. The ratio is a method for
calculating the amount of cash flows available to cover interest expense.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $194.7 million during
the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared to net cash provided by operating
activities totaling $241.0 million during the prior year period. This decrease
is primarily due to the decrease in our net income. This was partially offset
during the current period by cash provided from the change in our working
capital accounts as compared to the prior year where our working capital
accounts resulted in a use of cash. During the six-month period ended June 30,
2002 and 2001, net income was increased for non-cash items such as depreciation
expense and deferred taxes and was reduced for earnings from unconsolidated
affiliates.
Net cash used for investing activities totaled $239.5 million during
the current six-month period, compared to $725.4 million used during the prior
year period. During the current period, we used cash primarily for capital
expenditures and the acquisition of Enserco. On March 18, 2002, we acquired, for
cash, 20.5% of the issued and outstanding shares of Enserco, a Canadian
publicly-held corporation, for Cdn. $15.50 per share for a total price of Cdn.
$83.2 million (US $52.6 million). On April 26, 2002, we completed our
acquisition of Enserco by purchasing their remaining outstanding shares for
26
Cdn. $15.65 per share by paying cash of Cdn. $100.1 million (US $64.1 million)
and by issuing 2,638,526 shares of Nabors Delaware common stock and 910,556
shares of exchangeable stock of Nabors Exchangeco (Canada) Inc., an indirect
wholly-owned Canadian subsidiary of Nabors Delaware, that are exchangeable for
our common shares on a one-for-one basis. In addition, we assumed Enserco debt
totaling Cdn. $33.4 million (US $21.3 million). Cash was provided during the
current period from the sale of marketable securities. During the prior year
period, cash was primarily used for capital expenditures and purchases of
marketable securities.
Financing activities used cash totaling $12.3 million during the
current six-month period compared to cash provided of $720.0 million during the
prior year period. During the current period, cash was primarily used for the
reduction of long-term borrowings. We purchased $.6 million face value of our
8-5/8% senior subordinated notes due April 2008 in the open market at a price of
108% and purchased $4.7 million face value of our 6.8% senior unsecured notes
due April 2004 in the open market at a price of 104%. Upon settlement of these
transactions, we paid $5.7 million and recognized a pretax loss of approximately
$.2 million, resulting from the repurchases of these notes at prices higher than
the amounts recorded on our books. Additionally, we paid off Cdn. $21.0 million
(US $13.2 million) of the debt assumed in the Enserco acquisition. In the first
quarter of 2002, we made a $2.5 million scheduled principal payment relating to
our medium-term notes. This was partially offset by cash provided by our receipt
of proceeds from the exercise of options to acquire .6 million shares of our
common stock. During the prior year period, cash was primarily provided by the
proceeds from issuance of our $1.381 billion zero coupon convertible senior
debentures during February 2001, partially offset by cash used to repurchase
shares of our common stock.
As a result of the reorganization, we may have failed to comply with a
covenant contained in our $200 million credit facility agreement and a related
$30 million letter of credit facility. At the time of the default, there were no
outstanding borrowings on the $200 million unsecured revolving credit facility
and approximately $23 million outstanding on the related letter of credit
facility. Since the $200 million credit facility was scheduled to mature on
September 5, 2002 and we had cash, short-term and long-term marketable
securities balances as of July 31, 2002 totaling $814.3 million, we have
notified the bank that we are terminating the facility. We plan on replacing
this credit facility with a similar facility during the fourth quarter of 2002.
The bank has provided a waiver on the letter of credit facility.
As of June 30, 2002, we had outstanding capital expenditure purchase
commitments of approximately $36 million primarily for rig-related enhancing and
sustaining capital expenditures. We have historically completed a number of
acquisitions during down markets 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 our common stock. Future
acquisitions may be paid for using existing cash, borrowings under lines of
credit or issuance of debt or Nabors stock. Such capital expenditures and
acquisitions are at our discretion and will depend on our view of market
conditions and other factors.
Our current cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable
securities and projected cash flow generated from current operations are
expected to more than adequately finance our sustaining capital expenditures and
our debt service requirements for the next twelve months.
RECENT CORPORATE REORGANIZATION
Effective June 24, 2002, Nabors Industries Ltd., a Bermuda exempted
company (Nabors), became the successor to Nabors Industries, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (Nabors Delaware), following a corporate reorganization. The
reorganization was accomplished through the merger of an indirect, newly formed
Delaware subsidiary owned by Nabors, into Nabors Delaware. Nabors Delaware was
the surviving company in the merger and became a wholly-owned, indirect
subsidiary of Nabors. Upon consummation of the merger, all outstanding shares of
Nabors Delaware common stock automatically converted into the right to receive
Nabors common shares with the result that the shareholders of Nabors Delaware on
the date of the merger became the shareholders of Nabors. Nabors and its
subsidiaries continue to conduct the businesses previously conducted by Nabors
Delaware and its subsidiaries. The reorganization has been accounted for as a
reorganization of entities under common control and accordingly, it did not
result in any changes to the consolidated amounts of assets, liabilities and
stockholders' equity.
The authorized share capital of Nabors consists of 400 million common
shares, par value $.001 per share and 25 million preferred shares, par value
$.001 per share. Common shares issued were 144,368,390 at $.001 par value at
June 30, 2002 compared to 144,368,390 at $.10 par value immediately preceeding
the reorganization. The decrease in par value of common stock from $.10 to $.001
is recorded as an increase to capital in excess of par value and a decrease in
common shares in our Consolidated Financial Statements. In conjunction with the
reorganization, 6.8 million shares of treasury stock outstanding were retired,
as Bermuda law does not recognize the concept of treasury stock. The effect of
this retirement reduced common shares by $.7 million, capital in excess of par
value by $59.2 million and retained earnings by $192.9 million.
The Board of Nabors Delaware approved the reincorporation transaction
because international activities are an
27
important part of our current business and they believe that international
operations will continue to grow in the future. Expansion of our international
business is an important part of our current business strategy and significant
growth opportunities exist in the international marketplace. We believe that
reorganizing as a Bermuda company will allow us to implement our business
strategy more effectively. In addition, we believe that the reorganization
should increase our access to international capital markets and acquisition
opportunities, increase our attractiveness to non-US investors, improve global
cash management, improve our global tax position and result in a more favorable
corporate structure for expansion of our current business.
Several members of the United States Congress have introduced
legislation that, if enacted, would have the effect of eliminating the tax
benefits of the reorganization. In particular, on June 18, 2002, the Senate
Finance Committee approved legislation introduced by Senator Charles Grassley,
the Ranking Minority Member of the Senate Finance Committee, along with Senator
Max Baucus, the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, (S. 2119) that, for
United States federal tax purposes, would treat a foreign corporation, such as
Nabors, that undertakes a corporate expatriation transaction, such as the
reorganization, as a domestic corporation and, thus, such foreign corporation
would be subject to United States federal income tax. S. 2119 is proposed to be
effective for corporate expatriation transactions completed after March 20,
2002. In addition, on July 11, 2002, Representative Bill Thomas, Chairman of the
House Committee on Ways and Means, introduced legislation (H.R. 5095) that is
substantially similar to S. 2119 with respect to its treatment of corporations
that undertake a corporate expatriation transaction such as the reorganization,
except that (i) it is proposed to apply to transactions completed after March
20, 2002 and before March 21, 2005 and (ii) it would not permit shareholders to
qualify for tax-free treatment with respect to a corporate expatriation
transaction such as the reorganization. If any of the proposed legislation,
including S. 2119 or H.R. 5095, were enacted with their proposed effective
dates, the tax savings would not be realized from the reorganization.
In addition, there has been significant, increased negative publicity
and criticism of corporate inversion transactions from public pension funds and
other investors since the time Nabors completed its reorganization.
In light of such events and if and when any such legislation is
enacted, Nabors will consider the effects of such legislation and will evaluate
all strategic alternatives that may be necessary or prudent in response to such
legislation.
OTHER MATTERS
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements in this document that relate to matters that are not
historical facts are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. 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. Future events and actual results may differ
materially from the results set forth in or implied in the forward-looking
statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include:
o fluctuations in worldwide prices of and demand for natural gas
and oil;
o fluctuations in levels of natural gas and oil exploration and
development activities;
o fluctuations in the demand for our services;
o the existence of competitors, technological changes and
developments in the oilfield services industry;
o the existence of operating risks inherent in the oilfield service
industry;
o the existence of regulatory and legislative uncertainties;
o the possibility of political instability in any of the countries
in which we do business; and
o general economic conditions.
Our businesses depend, to a large degree, on the level of spending by
oil and gas companies for exploration, development and production activities.
Therefore, a sustained increase or decrease in the price of natural gas or oil,
which could have a material impact on exploration and production activities,
could also materially affect our financial condition, results of operations and
cash flows.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets", addresses the accounting for goodwill and other
intangible assets after an acquisition. The most significant changes made by
SFAS 142 are: (1) goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives no longer
will be amortized; (2) goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives must
be tested for impairment at least annually; and (3) the amortization period for
those intangible assets with finite lives no longer will be limited to 40 years.
The effect of no longer amortizing goodwill would have increased net income by
approximately $1.1 million ($.01 per diluted share) for the prior year quarter
and approximately $2.3 million ($.01 per diluted share) for
28
the six months ended June 30, 2001.
We adopted SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002 and during the current
quarter, we performed our initial goodwill impairment assessment as required. As
part of that assessment, we determined that our 11 business units represent our
reporting units as defined by SFAS 142. We determined the aggregate carrying
values and fair values of all such reporting units, both of which were measured
as of the January 1, 2002 adoption date. We calculated the fair value of each
reporting unit based on discounted cash flows and determined there was no
goodwill impairment.
We adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets", effective January 1, 2002, as required. This statement
addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal of
long-lived assets. Due to the nature of our business, this new accounting
pronouncement had no impact on our reported results of operations or financial
position.
We adopted SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and
64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections", effective
April 1, 2002. Due to the nature of our business, Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) 44, 64 and Amendment of FASB 13 are not applicable. SFAS 145
eliminates SFAS No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt"
and states that gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt should be
classified as extraordinary items only if they meet the criteria in Accounting
Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of
Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions". APB
30, defines extraordinary items as events and transactions that are
distinguished by their unusual nature and by the infrequency of their
occurrence. Accordingly, we no longer classify gains and losses from
extinguishment of debt that are usual and frequent as extraordinary items and we
reclassified to other income any similar debt extinguishment items that had been
reported as extraordinary items in prior accounting periods. In conjunction with
adopting SFAS 145 we reclassified an extraordinary loss recorded during the
first quarter of the year totaling $.13 million, net of taxes of $.08 million,
to other income with the related income tax component reclassified to income tax
expense.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". This statement will require us to
recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are
incurred rather than when we commit to an exit or disposal plan. Examples of
costs covered by this guidance include lease termination costs, employee
severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued
operations, plant closings or other exit or disposal activities. The provisions
of this statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 31,
2002 and will impact any exit or disposal activities initiated after January 1,
2003. This statement does not currently impact Nabors.
We adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 01-14, "Income
Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out-of-Pocket Expenses
Incurred", in the current quarter. Previously, we recognized reimbursements
received as a reduction to the related direct costs. EITF 01-14 requires that
reimbursements received be included in operating revenues and "out-of-pocket"
expenses be included in direct costs. Accordingly, reimbursements received from
our customers have been reclassified to revenues for all periods presented. The
effect of adopting EITF 01-14 increased operating revenues and direct costs from
previously reported amounts by $12.9 million and $16.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and $28.0 million and $33.8 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company disclosed its critical accounting policies in its 2001
Annual Report on Form 10-K. No significant changes have occurred to those
policies with the exception of the following:
Self Insurance Accruals. Nabors is self-insured for certain losses
relating to workers' compensation, general liability, property damage and
employee medical benefits. Given the recent tightening in the insurance market,
effective April 1, 2002, with our insurance renewal, our self-insurance levels
have significantly increased. As a result, our exposure to losses relating to
workers' compensation, general liability and property damage has increased
dramatically. Effective April 1, 2002, our exposure (that is our deductible) per
occurrence ranges from $1.0 million for workers' compensation to between $2.0
million and $5.0 million for employer liability, Jones Act and general liability
and $10.0 million for rig physical damage. Therefore, we are self-insured for
rigs with replacement values less than $10.0 million. As a result, if a Nabors'
rig with a net book value of $9.0 million was destroyed, we would record a $9.0
million loss in the period in which the loss event occurred. In previous years,
we had physical damage insurance for essentially all of our rigs, with a
substantially lower deductible of $.25 million per occurrence. Thus,
historically we have not recorded material losses in our financial statements
related to the destruction of one our rigs. We have purchased stop-loss coverage
in order to limit our aggregate exposure to certain physical damage claims for
insured rigs, that is those rigs with replacement values in excess of $10.0
million. The effect of this coverage is that our maximum physical damage loss on
insured rigs would be $20.0 million plus $1.0 million per occurrence. There is
no assurance that such coverage will adequately protect Nabors against liability
from all potential consequences.
29
FOREIGN CURRENCY RISK
We operate in a number of international areas and are involved in
transactions denominated in currencies other than US dollars, which exposes us
to foreign exchange rate risk. The most significant exposures arise in
connection with our operations in Canada and Saudi Arabia, which usually are
substantially unhedged. In Saudi Arabia, upon renewal of our contracts, we have
been converting riyal-denominated contracts to US dollar-denominated contracts
in order to reduce our exposure to the Saudi riyal even though that currency has
been pegged to the US dollar at a rate of 3.745 Saudi riyal to 1.00 US dollar
since 1986. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to convert future
riyal-denominated contracts to US dollar-denominated contracts or that the riyal
exchange rate will continue in effect as in the past.
At various times, we utilize local currency borrowings (foreign
currency denominated debt), the payment structure of customer contracts and
foreign exchange contracts to selectively hedge our exposure to exchange rate
fluctuations in connection with monetary assets, liabilities, cash flows and
commitments denominated in certain foreign currencies. A foreign exchange
contract is a foreign currency transaction, defined as an agreement to exchange
different currencies at a given future date and at a specified rate.
On March 26, 2002, in anticipation of closing the Enserco acquisition,
discussed in Note 3, we entered into two foreign exchange contracts with a total
notional value of Cdn. $115.9 million and maturity dates of April 29, 2002.
Additionally, on April 9, 2002, we entered into a third foreign exchange
contract with a notional value of Cdn. $50.0 million maturing April 29, 2002.
The notional amounts of these contracts were used to fund the cash portion of
the Enserco acquisition purchase price (Note 3). The notional amounts of these
contracts represented the amount of foreign currency purchased at maturity and
did not represent our exposure on these contracts. Although such contracts
served as an economic hedge against our foreign currency risk related to the
cash portion of the acquisition cost, we accounted for these contracts as
speculative as required by SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities" and therefore marked them to market as of March 31, 2002. We
recorded a US $.17 million loss in our statement of income as of March 31, 2002.
Upon maturity of these foreign exchange contracts on April 29, 2002, we
recognized a gain of approximately US $1.95 million in our statement of income
for the three months ended June 30, 2002.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
The following discusses developments with respect to the material
lawsuit reported in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2001, as amended, and discusses additional material lawsuits filed in the
current quarter.
In Verdin v. R&B Falcon Drilling USA, Inc., et al., Civil Action No.
G-00-488, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of
Texas, Galveston Division, the class action lawsuit against our offshore
drilling subsidiaries alleging, among other things, conspiracy to depress wages
and benefits paid to our offshore employees, we have reached a settlement, which
was approved by the court on April 22, 2002. The settlement payment was made in
the second quarter, and the amount paid by Nabors' subsidiaries was not material
to Nabors.
On May 23, 2002, Steve Rosenberg, an individual shareholder of the
company, filed a complaint against the company and its directors in the United
States District Court for the Southern District of Texas (Civil Action No.
02-1942), alleging that Nabors' May 10, 2002 proxy statement/prospectus
contained certain material misstatements and omissions in violation of federal
securities laws and state law. Nabors' May 10, 2002 proxy statement/prospectus
was sent to shareholders in connection with the special meeting to consider and
vote on Nabors' proposed reorganization and effective reincorporation in
Bermuda. The AFL-CIO moved to intervene in Civil Action No. 02-1942 and filed a
complaint containing similar allegations. On June 5, 2002, Marilyn Irey, an
individual shareholder of the company, filed a complaint in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of Texas (Civil Action No. 02-2108)
that is nearly identical to Steve Rosenberg's complaint. The three shareholders
requested that the Court either enjoin the closing of the shareholder vote on
the scheduled date or the effectuation of the reorganization. In addition, two
of the shareholders (Steve Rosenberg and Marilyn Irey) purported to bring a
class action on behalf of all shareholders, alleging that Nabors and its
directors violated their state law fiduciary duties by making these alleged
misstatements and omissions. These two shareholders, on behalf of their
purported class, seek monetary damages for their state law claims. Since the
beginning of the litigation, two of the shareholders (Steve Rosenberg and the
AFL-CIO) have amended their complaints, but have not added any substantive
allegations.
On June 13, 2002, the Court granted the AFL-CIO's motion to intervene.
On June 15, 2002, the Court denied a motion for temporary restraining order
brought by two of the shareholders (Steve Rosenberg and the AFL-CIO) in their
attempts to prevent the closing of Nabors' reorganization and its effective
reincorporation in Bermuda. On July 2, 2002, the Court granted an agreed motion
to consolidate Civil Action No. 02-2108 into Civil Action No. 02-1942. Nabors
and its directors have moved to dismiss the lawsuits of all three shareholders,
and that motion is currently pending. Nabors and its directors believe that the
allegations in this lawsuit are without merit, and Nabors and its directors will
defend vigorously the claims brought against them. We are unable, however, to
predict the outcome of this action or the costs to be incurred in connection
with its defense and there can be no assurance that this litigation will be
resolved in our favor.
Nabors and its subsidiaries are defendants or otherwise involved in a
number of other lawsuits in the ordinary
30
course of their business. In the opinion of management, Nabors' ultimate
liability with respect to these pending lawsuits is not expected to have a
significant or material adverse effect on Nabors' consolidated financial
position, cash flows or results of operations.
ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
Effective June 24, 2002, we completed a corporate reorganization that
effectively resulted in Nabors becoming a Bermuda exempted company rather than a
Delaware corporation. A description of the reorganization and Nabors' common
shares is included in the Company's Proxy Statement/Prospectus filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2002, as supplemented on May 29,
2002.
Also in connection with the reorganization, a series of preferred
shares, consisting of one share, was designated as a special voting preferred
share, having a par value of $0.001 per share and a liquidation preference of
$0.01. This special voting preferred share replaces the special voting preferred
share issued by Nabors Delaware in connection with the acquisition of Enserco on
April 26, 2002. Except as otherwise required by law, our memorandum of
association or our bye-laws, the one special voting preferred share will possess
a number of votes for the election of directors and on all other matters
submitted to a vote of our shareholders equal to the number of outstanding
exchangeable shares from time to time not owned by us or any entity controlled
by us. The holders of our common shares and the holder of the special voting
preferred share will vote together as a single class on all matters on which
holders of our common shares are eligible to vote. In the event of our
liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, all outstanding exchangeable shares will
automatically be exchanged for shares of our common shares, and the holder of
the special voting preferred share will not be entitled to receive any assets
available for distribution to our shareholders (other than the $.01 liquidation
preference). The holder of the special voting preferred share will not be
entitled to receive dividends. The special voting preferred share was issued to
Computershare Trust Company of Canada, as trustee under a voting and exchange
trust agreement among us, Nabors Exchangeco and such trustee. At such time as
the one special voting preferred share has no votes attached to it because there
are no exchangeable shares outstanding not owned by us or an entity controlled
by us, the special voting preferred share will be cancelled.
In connection with the reorganization, Nabors executed supplemental
indentures to the indentures governing Nabors Industries, Inc.'s 6.8% Notes due
2004 and Zero Coupon Convertible Senior Debentures due 2020 and 2021 as well as
Nabors Holding Company's (a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of Nabors) 8-5/8%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008, pursuant to which Nabors fully and
unconditionally guaranteed Nabors Industries, Inc.'s obligations under each such
indenture, including payment obligations. Copies of such supplemental indentures
are filed as Exhibits 4.4 through 4.7 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and
are incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION
Corporate Governance Matters
At its meeting in July 2002, the Board of Directors confirmed its
commitment to governance matters by expanding the title and scope of the newly
formed Governance and Nominating Committee and adopting the recommendations of
that committee to implement new governance principles for the company and its
subsidiaries. A copy of the Corporate Governance Principles adopted by the board
is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. The Governance and Nominating
Committee is comprised of the independent members of the board and is charged
with monitoring compliance with the company's governance principles and
nominating new members to the board.
Legislative Update with Regard to Inversion
Effective June 24, 2002, Nabors Industries Ltd., a Bermuda exempted
company, became the successor to Nabors Industries, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, following a corporate reorganization. The reorganization was
accomplished through the merger of an indirect, newly formed Delaware subsidiary
wholly owned by Nabors, into Nabors Delaware. Nabors Delaware was the surviving
company in the merger and became a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Nabors.
Upon consummation of the merger, all outstanding shares of Nabors Delaware
common stock automatically converted into the right to receive Nabors common
shares so that the shareholders of Nabors Delaware on the date of the merger
became the shareholders of Nabors. Nabors and its subsidiaries continue to
conduct the businesses previously conducted by Nabors Delaware and its
subsidiaries. The reorganization has been accounted for as a reorganization of
entities under common control and accordingly, it did not result in any changes
to the consolidated amounts of assets, liabilities and stockholders' equity.
Several members of the United States Congress have introduced
legislation that, if enacted, would have the effect of eliminating the tax
benefits of the reorganization. In particular, on June 18, 2002, the Senate
Finance Committee approved legislation introduced by Senator Charles Grassley,
the Ranking Minority Member of the Senate Finance Committee, along with Senator
Max Baucus, the Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, (S. 2119) that, for
United States federal tax purposes, would treat a foreign corporation, such as
Nabors, that undertakes a corporate expatriation transaction, such as the
reorganization, as a domestic corporation and, thus, such foreign corporation
would be subject to United States federal income tax. S. 2119 is proposed to be
effective for corporate expatriation transactions completed after March 20,
2002. In addition, on July 11, 2002, Representative Bill Thomas, Chairman of the
House Committee on Ways and Means, introduced legislation (H.R. 5095) that is
substantially similar to S. 2119 with respect to its treatment of corporations
that undertake a corporate expatriation transaction such as the reorganization,
except that (i) it is proposed to apply to transactions completed after March
20, 2002 and before March 21, 2005 and (ii) it would not permit shareholders to
qualify for tax-free treatment with respect to a corporate expatriation
transaction such as the reorganization. If any of the proposed legislation,
including S. 2119 or H.R. 5095, were enacted with their proposed effective
dates, the tax savings would not be realized from the reorganization.
32
In addition, there has been significant, increased negative publicity
and criticism of corporate inversion transactions from public pension funds and
other investors since the time Nabors completed its reorganization.
In light of such events and if and when any such legislation is
enacted, Nabors will consider the effects of such legislation and will evaluate
all strategic alternatives that may be necessary or prudent in response to such
legislation.
Share and Debt Repurchase Programs
On July 17, 2002, the Board of Directors of Nabors authorized the
continuation of the share repurchase program that had begun under Nabors
Delaware, and provided that the amount of Nabors common shares authorized for
purchase by Nabors going forward was up to $400 million. Under the Nabors
Delaware program, Nabors Delaware had acquired an aggregate of approximately
$248.0 million of Nabors Delaware common stock, or 6.2 million shares. Pursuant
to Bermuda law, any shares, when purchased, will be treated as cancelled, the
amount of Nabors' issued capital will be diminished by the nominal value of
those shares repurchased and retained earnings will be reduced by the
incremental difference between the cost of issuance and the cost of the shares
repurchased. A repurchase of shares will not have the effect of reducing the
amount of Nabors' authorized share capital. Additionally, the Board approved the
repurchase of up to $400 million of outstanding debt securities of Nabors and
its subsidiaries. These amounts may be increased or decreased at the discretion
of the Board, depending upon market conditions and consideration of the best
interest of shareholder value. Repurchases may be conducted either on the open
market, negotiated transactions, or by other means, from time to time, depending
upon market conditions and other factors.
On July 23, 2002, we entered into a private transaction with a
counterparty in which we sold 1.0 million European-style put options for $2.6
million with a maturity date of October 23, 2002. If the price of our common
shares is below $26.5698 on the maturity date, we anticipate that the
counterparty will exercise the put option which will result in, at our option
(1) our purchase of 1.0 million of our common shares at a price of $26.5698 per
share or (2) our payment, in cash or Nabors common shares, of an amount equal to
the difference between $26.5698 and our stock price on October 23, 2002
multiplied by 1.0 million. If the price of our common shares is above $26.5698
on the maturity date, we anticipate that the counterparty will let the option
expire. In either case, we retain the $2.6 million in proceeds which was
recorded as an increase in capital in excess of par value in July 2002.
On August 2, 2002, consistent with these authorizations, Nabors
acquired, through a subsidiary, 91,000 of its common shares in the open market
for $27.30 per share for an aggregate price, including commissions, of $2.5
million. The shares will be recorded by the subsidiary as an investment in
Nabors, and eliminated in consolidation.
Sea Mar Restructuring
In early June, Nabors Delaware completed a restructuring of its supply
vessel operations in anticipation of its reorganization to Bermuda. The
restructuring was necessary to comply with United States law and US Coast Guard
regulations for operating in the "coastwise trades", which require that the
vessels be under the control of a United States citizen as defined under Section
2(a) and (c) of the Shipping Act, 1916, as amended. Prior to the restructuring,
the vessels were owned by Nabors Marine, Inc. and Sea Mar, Inc., and were
operated by Sea Mar Management, Inc. The vessels were transferred to Nabors US
Finance LLC, an indirect Delaware subsidiary of Nabors Delaware, and the
operating entities were transferred to Sea Mar Investco LLC, a Delaware entity
that is 75% owned by United States citizens as defined in the Shipping Act and
Coast Guard regulations and 25% owned by another Nabors Delaware subsidiary.
Nabors US Finance entered into a contract called a bareboat charter with Sea Mar
Management, and Sea Mar Management time charters the vessels back to Sea Mar,
which is now a division of Pool Well Services Co. Under the time charter, Sea
Mar Management operates the vessels and provides transportation services to Sea
Mar at Sea Mar's direction. The Sea Mar division of Pool Well Services enters
into contracts with customers for the supply vessels' services. This structure,
which allows the Nabors group to retain legal title and an economic
participation in the utilization of the vessels through their employment under
the time charter while satisfying the Coast Guard's citizenship requirements,
was approved by the US Coast Guard prior to effectiveness of the reorganization
of Nabors Delaware.
