EX-99.1 3 h09996exv99w1.txt PRESS RELEASE ISSUED ON OCTOBER 29, 2003 EXHIBIT 99.1 (NABORS INDUSTRIES LOGO) NEWS RELEASE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NABORS NETS $0.33 VS. $0.18 ON GENERALLY IMPROVING ACTIVITY ST. MICHAEL, BARBADOS, OCTOBER 29, 2003, NABORS INDUSTRIES LTD. (AMEX: NBR), today announced its results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2003. Adjusted income derived from operating activities(1) was $52.9 million for the current quarter compared to $32.1 million in the third quarter of last year and $38.0 million in the second quarter of this year. Net income was $50.3 million ($0.33 per diluted share) for the current quarter compared to $26.9 million ($0.18 per diluted share) in the prior year and $29.0 million ($0.19 per diluted share) in the second quarter of this year. Operating revenues and earnings from unconsolidated affiliates were $476.0 million in the current quarter compared to $355.1 million in the prior year quarter and $433.9 million in the second quarter of this year. For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, adjusted income derived from operating activities was $146.9 million compared to $130.7 million in 2002. Net income for the first nine months of 2003 was $127.4 million ($0.83 per diluted share) compared to $94.3 million ($0.63 per diluted share) in the first nine months of 2002. Revenues and earnings from unconsolidated affiliates for the first nine months were $1.37 billion compared to $1.10 billion for the first nine months of 2002. Gene Isenberg, Nabors' Chairman and Chief Executive Officer commented on the results, "Compared to the second quarter of 2003, the largest sequential improvement in results among our operating units came from Canada as it rebounded sharply from the second quarter seasonal trough. The next largest increment was in the U.S. Lower 48 land drilling business with 20 additional rigs working and a modest improvement in margins as projected. International operations achieved increased results during the quarter, as the contribution from recently deployed platform rigs improved. Our U.S. Offshore operation also showed modest improvement with increased jack-up and platform workover activity. U.S. Land Well-servicing posted steady results as expanded margins offset slightly lower rig hours. Alaska was down sequentially, but much less than expected with continued work for two rigs we had anticipated stacking." "Our outlook for the fourth quarter and therefore the full year 2003 continues to be in line with the consensus of analyst's estimates. Canada is likely to have the most significant impact on our near-term results with the anticipation of record levels of activity and firm pricing through the first quarter of 2004. We expect the number of rigs operating in our U.S. Lower 48 land drilling operation to continue increasing at a moderate pace along with our average daily margins. While we anticipate that our U.S. Offshore unit will realize a more significant sequential improvement in the fourth quarter from higher utilization of its workover jack-up and platform rigs, the sustainability of this trend is less certain in this market. The deployment, in the first half of 2004, of three newly constructed platform rigs for GOM deepwater SPAR platform contracts should ---------- (1) Adjusted 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. Such amounts should not be used as a substitute to those amounts reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to consolidated income before taxes, which is a GAAP measure, is provided herein. further benefit this unit. The 2004 outlook in Alaska is lower than 2003, but is much improved from our previous forecast. In addition to recent incremental contract awards the major operators in this area have recently agreed to commence the development of a heavier oil deposit which should employ more rigs in 2004. Our U.S. Land Well-servicing business expects the usual fourth quarter seasonality in its results with the holidays and shorter days generating fewer available work hours. Longer-term the outlook for this business remains quite positive." "Internationally, we expect flat sequential results over the next few quarters, as a result of the hopefully temporary cessation of a couple of long-running contracts, fewer successes in new contract awards than forecasted and lower expectations on the level of ongoing contribution from the platform rigs offshore Mexico. We do expect several of the idle rigs to return to work in the near future. Our manufacturing and logistics businesses are expected to improve modestly along with the expected improvements in our various U.S. businesses." "My conviction in the sustainability of growth in our North American gas-directed markets remains strong. In the U.S. Lower 48 drilling market I anticipate we will continue to see a steady increase in rig count that is likely to favor our rigs and geographic markets. Since the beginning of this year Nabors rig count has grown at roughly twice the rate of increase in the Baker Hughes land rig count. Further, our margins should begin to expand more meaningfully as we move into next year. I am particularly encouraged by the current and prospective performance of our Canadian unit which is virtually certain to significantly surpass its previous record results over the next few quarters and throughout 2004. While the timing of the progression of our international business is harder to predict, I am enthusiastic about the multitude of incremental prospects for continued growth in this unit and an improving contribution from our existing operations, as we continue to diligently focus on further enhancing our execution." The Nabors companies own and operate almost 600 land drilling and approximately 950 land workover and well-servicing rigs worldwide. Offshore, Nabors operates 42 platforms, 16 jack-ups, and three barge rigs in the domestic and international markets. Nabors markets 30 marine transportation and support vessels, primarily in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

(1) During the fourth quarter of 2002, we revised the classification of revenues for certain rigs that we own that are leased to our joint venture in Saudi Arabia, in which we have a 50% ownership interest. We now report 100% of these revenues as Operating revenues. Previously, we had reported 50% of these lease revenues as Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates and 50% as Operating revenues. The effect of this change in classification resulted in an increase in Operating revenues and offsetting decrease in Earnings from unconsolidated affiliates of $6.2 million and $17.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. These reclassifications had no impact on total revenues and other income, or net income. (2) See "Computation of Per Share Earnings" included herein as a separate schedule. (3) Adjusted 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. Such amounts should not be used as a substitute to those amounts reported under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). However, management evaluates the performance of our business units and the consolidated company based on several criteria, including adjusted income derived from operating activities, because it believes that this financial measure is an accurate reflection of the ongoing profitability of our company.

AND SUBSIDIARIES COMPUTATION OF PER SHARE EARNINGS (UNAUDITED) A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted earnings per share computations is as follows:

(1) Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 reflects the assumed conversion of our $825 million zero coupon convertible senior debentures due 2020, as the conversion in that period would have been dilutive. We redeemed for cash the remaining outstanding principal amount of our $825 million zero coupon convertible senior debentures due 2020 on June 20, 2003 and therefore these debentures did not impact the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 2003. For the three months ended June 30, 2003 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, the weighted average number of shares outstanding-diluted excludes 7.2 million, 8.1 million and 8.1 million, respectively, potentially dilutive shares issuable upon the conversion of our $825 million zero coupon convertible senior debentures due 2020 because the inclusion of such shares would have been anti-dilutive, given the level of net income for those periods. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 also excludes the related add-back of interest expense, net of tax, of $1.7 million, $1.9 million and $5.7 million, respectively, for these debentures. These shares would have been dilutive and therefore included in the calculation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding-diluted had diluted earnings per share been at or above $.24 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, and $.23 and $.70 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. (2) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, the weighted average number of shares outstanding-diluted excludes 8.5 million potentially dilutive shares issuable upon the conversion of our $1.381 billion zero coupon convertible senior debentures due 2021 because the inclusion of such shares would have been anti-dilutive, given the level of net income for those periods. Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2003, September 30, 2003 and 2002 excludes the related add-back of interest expense of $3.0 million and net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 excludes the related add-back of interest expense of $9.2 million and $8.8 million, respectively, for these debentures. These shares would have been dilutive and therefore included in the calculation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding-diluted had diluted earnings per share been at or above $.36 for the three months ended June 30, 2003, at or above $.36 and $.35 for the three months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively, and at or above $1.07 and $1.04 for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, respectively. (3) Includes the following weighted average number of common shares of Nabors and weighted average number of exchangeable shares of Nabors Exchangeco (Canada) Inc., respectively: 145.9 million and .5 million shares for the three months ended June 30, 2003; 146.5 million and .4 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2003; 144.4 million and .7 million shares for the three months ended September 30, 2002; 145.8 million and .5 million shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2003; and 142.7 million and .4 million shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The exchangeable shares of Nabors Exchangeco (Canada) Inc. are exchangeable for Nabors common shares on a one-for-one basis, and have essentially identical rights as Nabors Industries Ltd. common shares, including but not limited to voting rights and the right to receive dividends, if any. (4) Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2003 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003 excludes approximately 10.0 million potentially dilutive shares initially issuable upon the exchange of our $700 million zero coupon exchangeable senior notes due 2023. Such shares are contingently exchangeable under certain circumstances and would only be included in the calculation of the weighted average number of shares outstanding-diluted if any of those criteria were met. Such criteria were not met during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. Based on the initial exchange price per share, these shares would be exchangeable if the closing sale price per share of Nabors' common shares for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the previous calendar quarter is greater than or equal to $84.12 for all calendar quarters ending on or before June 30, 2008, and $77.11 for all calendar quarters thereafter. These notes were issued in June 2003 and therefore did not impact the calculation of diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002.
