NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 General
Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” or “Nabors” mean Nabors Industries Ltd., together with our subsidiaries where the context requires. References in this report to “Nabors Delaware” mean Nabors Industries, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Nabors.
Our business is comprised of our global land-based and offshore drilling rig operations and other rig related services and technologies. These services and technologies include tubular running services, wellbore placement solutions, directional drilling, measurement-while-drilling (“MWD”), logging-while-drilling (“LWD”) systems and services, equipment manufacturing, rig instrumentation and drilling optimization software.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), together with actions by large oil and natural gas producing countries, led to decreases in commodity prices, specifically oil and natural gas prices, resulting from oversupply and demand weakness. These price decreases caused significant disruptions and volatility in the global marketplace beginning in 2020. Lower prices and the resulting weakness in demand for our services negatively affected our results of operations and cash flows, and uncertainty remains regarding the length and impact of COVID-19 on the energy industry and the outlook for our business.
Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Information
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Nabors have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been omitted. Therefore, these financial statements should be read together with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (“2020 Annual Report”). In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to state fairly our financial position as of March 31, 2021 and the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows and changes in equity for the periods presented herein. Interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 may not be indicative of results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2021.
Principles of Consolidation
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nabors, as well as all majority owned and non-majority owned subsidiaries consolidated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
In addition to the consolidation of our majority owned subsidiaries, we also consolidate variable interest entities (“VIE”) when we are determined to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based on whether an entity has (1) the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and (2) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could
8
potentially be significant to the VIE. Our joint venture, SANAD, which is equally owned by Saudi Aramco and Nabors, has been consolidated. As we have the power to direct activities that most significantly impact SANAD’s economic performance, including operations, maintenance and certain sourcing and procurement, we have determined Nabors to be the primary beneficiary. See Note 3—Joint Ventures.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out or weighted-average cost methods and includes the cost of materials, labor and manufacturing overhead. Inventory included the following:

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes accounting requirements for the recognition of credit losses from an incurred or probable impairment methodology to a current expected credit losses (CECL) methodology. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The guidance has been applied using the modified retrospective method with a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning retained earnings. Trade receivables (including the allowance for credit losses) are the only financial instrument in scope for ASU 2016-13 currently held by the Company. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions for intraperiod allocations and interim tax calculations and adds guidance to simplify accounting for income taxes. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 Joint Ventures
During 2016, we entered into an agreement with Saudi Aramco to form a joint venture known as SANAD to own, manage and operate onshore drilling rigs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. SANAD is equally owned by Saudi Aramco and Nabors.
During 2017, Nabors and Saudi Aramco each contributed $

Note 4 Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). We utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market-corroborated, or generally unobservable. We primarily apply the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and endeavor to utilize the best information available. Accordingly, we employ valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The use of unobservable inputs is intended to allow for fair value determinations in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. We are able to classify fair value balances utilizing a fair value hierarchy based on the observability of those inputs.
Under the fair value hierarchy:
● | Level 1 measurements include unadjusted quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market; |
● | Level 2 measurements include quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that have been adjusted for items such as effects of restrictions for transferability and those that are not quoted but are observable through corroboration with observable market data, including quoted market prices for similar assets; and |
● | Level 3 measurements include those that are unobservable and of a subjective nature. |
Our financial assets and liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consisted of available-for-sale equity and debt securities. Our debt securities could transfer into or out of a Level 1 or 2 measure depending on the availability of independent and current pricing at the end of each quarter. There were
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
We applied fair value measurements to our nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis, which consist of measurements primarily related to assets held for sale, goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets and assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Based upon our review of the fair value hierarchy, the inputs used in these fair value measurements were considered Level 3 inputs.
10
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We estimate the fair value of our financial instruments in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The fair value of our long-term debt and revolving credit facilities is estimated based on quoted market prices or prices quoted from third-party financial institutions. The fair value of our debt instruments is determined using Level 2 measurements. The carrying and fair values of these liabilities were as follows:

Note 5 Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement
On September 13, 2019, we entered into a $
Nabors Delaware and/or another subsidiary of Nabors act as servicers of the sold receivables. The servicers administer, collect and otherwise enforce these receivables and are compensated for doing so on terms that are generally consistent with what would be charged by an unrelated servicer. The servicers initially receive payments made by obligors on the receivables, then remit those payments in accordance with the Receivables Purchase Agreement. The servicers and the Originators have contingent indemnification obligations to the SPE, and the SPE has contingent indemnification obligations to the Purchasers, in each case customary for transactions of this type. These contingent indemnification obligations are guaranteed by the Company pursuant to an Indemnification Guarantee in favor of the Purchasers. The Purchasers have no recourse for receivables that are uncollectible as a result of the insolvency or inability to pay of the account debtors.

We recorded a minimal gain in connection with the exchange transactions, which was accounted for in accordance with ASC 470-60, Troubled Debt Restructuring by Debtors. Under ASC 470-60, a gain is recorded in an amount equal to the sum of the future undiscounted payments (principal and interest) related to the new Exchange Notes plus the costs incurred in connection with the transaction, less the carrying value of the notes that were exchanged.

2018 Revolving Credit Facility
In October 2018, Nabors Delaware and Nabors Drilling Canada Limited (“Nabors Canada” and together with Nabors Delaware, the “Borrowers”) entered into a credit agreement dated October 11, 2018 by and among the Borrowers, the Guarantors identified therein, HSBC Bank Canada, as the Canadian lender (the “Canadian Lender”) the issuing banks and other lenders party thereto (the “US Lenders” and, together with the Canadian Lender, the “Lenders”) and Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent solely for the U.S. Lenders (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “2018 Revolving Credit Facility”).

In September 2020, Amendment No. 4 was entered into in order to revise certain of the covenant and collateral requirements under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. Amendment No. 4 provides the Lenders with a first lien security interest in certain drilling rigs located in the U.S. and Canada and replaced the prior covenant to maintain net funded debt at no greater than

As of the date of this report, we were in compliance with all covenants under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. We expect to remain in compliance with all covenants under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility during the twelve month period following the date of this report based on our current operational and financial projections. However, we can make no assurance of continued compliance if our current projections or material underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect. If we fail to comply with the covenants, the revolving credit commitment could be terminated, and any outstanding borrowings under the facility could be declared immediately due and payable.

Note 8 Commitments and Contingencies
Contingencies
Income Tax
We operate in a number of countries and our tax returns filed in those jurisdictions are subject to review and examination by tax authorities within those jurisdictions. We do not recognize the benefit of income tax positions we believe are more likely than not to be disallowed upon challenge by a tax authority. If any tax authority successfully challenges our operational structure, intercompany pricing policies or the taxable presence of our subsidiaries in certain countries, if the terms of certain income tax treaties are interpreted in a manner that is adverse to our structure, or if we lose a material tax dispute in any country, our effective tax rate on our worldwide earnings could change substantially.
In certain jurisdictions we have recognized deferred tax assets and liabilities. Judgment and assumptions are required in determining whether deferred tax assets will be fully or partially utilized. When we estimate that all or some portion of certain deferred tax assets such as net operating loss carryforwards will not be utilized, we establish a valuation allowance for the amount we determine to be more likely than not unrealizable. We continually evaluate strategies that could allow for future utilization of our deferred assets. Any change in the ability to utilize such deferred assets will be accounted for in the period of the event affecting the valuation allowance. If facts and circumstances cause us to change our expectations regarding future tax consequences, the resulting adjustments could have a material effect on our financial results or cash flow. At this time, we consider it more likely than not that we will have sufficient taxable income in the future that will allow us to realize the deferred tax assets that we have recognized. However, it is possible that some of our recognized deferred tax assets, relating to net operating loss carryforwards, could expire unused or could carryforward indefinitely without utilization. Therefore, unless we are able to generate sufficient taxable income from our component operations, a substantial valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets may be required, which would materially increase our tax expense in the period the allowance is recognized and materially adversely affect our results of operations and statement of financial condition.

Litigation
Nabors and its subsidiaries are defendants or otherwise involved in a number of lawsuits in the ordinary course of business. We estimate the range of our liability related to pending litigation when we believe the amount and range of loss can be estimated. We record our best estimate of a loss when the loss is considered probable. When a liability is probable and there is a range of estimated loss with no best estimate in the range, we record the minimum estimated liability related to the lawsuits or claims. As additional information becomes available, we assess the potential liability related to our pending litigation and claims and revise our estimates. Due to uncertainties related to the resolution of lawsuits and claims, the ultimate outcome may differ from our estimates. For matters where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and significant, we disclose the nature of the matter and a range of potential exposure, unless an estimate cannot be made at the time of disclosure. In the opinion of management and based on liability accruals provided, our ultimate exposure with respect to these pending lawsuits and claims is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or cash flows, although they could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for a particular reporting period.
In March 2011, the Court of Ouargla entered a judgment of approximately $
Following a routine audit conducted in May and June of 2018 by the Atyrau Oblast Ecology Department (the “AOED”), our joint venture in Kazakhstan, KMG Nabors Drilling Company (“KNDC”), was administratively fined for not having emissions permits for KNDC owned or leased equipment. Prior to this audit, the AOED had always accepted the operator’s permits for all of their subcontractors. However, because of major personnel changes, AOED changed this position and is now requiring that the owner/lessor of the equipment that emits the pollutants must have its own permits. Administrative fines have been issued to KNDC and paid in the amount of $
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements (Including Guarantees)
We are a party to some transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements defined as “off-balance sheet arrangements” that could have a material future effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. The most significant of these off-balance sheet arrangements include the A/R Agreement (see Note 5—Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement) and certain agreements and obligations under which we provide financial or performance assurance to third parties. Certain of these financial or performance assurances serve as guarantees, including standby letters of credit issued on behalf of insurance carriers in conjunction with our workers’ compensation
16
insurance program and other financial surety instruments such as bonds. In addition, we have provided indemnifications, which serve as guarantees, to some third parties. These guarantees include indemnification provided by Nabors to our share transfer agent and our insurance carriers. We are not able to estimate the potential future maximum payments that might be due under our indemnification guarantees.
Management believes the likelihood that we would be required to perform or otherwise incur any material losses associated with any of these guarantees is remote. The following table summarizes the total maximum amount of financial guarantees issued by Nabors:

Note 9 Earnings (Losses) Per Share
ASC 260, Earnings per Share, requires companies to treat unvested share-based payment awards that have nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings (losses) per share. We have granted and expect to continue to grant to employees restricted stock grants that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends. Such grants are considered participating securities under ASC 260. As such, we are required to include these grants in the calculation of our basic earnings (losses) per share and calculate basic earnings (losses) per share using the two-class method. The two-class method of computing earnings per share is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. The participating security holders are not contractually obligated to share in losses. Therefore, losses are not allocated to the participating security holders.
Basic earnings (losses) per share is computed utilizing the two-class method and is calculated based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented.
Diluted earnings (losses) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods utilizing the two-class method for stock options and unvested restricted shares. Shares issuable upon exchange of the

For all periods presented, the computation of diluted earnings (losses) per share excludes outstanding stock options with exercise prices greater than the average market price of Nabors’ common shares, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive and because they are not considered participating securities. In any period during which the average market price of Nabors’ common shares exceeds the exercise prices of these stock options, such stock options will be included in our diluted earnings (losses) per share computation using the if-converted method of accounting. Restricted stock is included in our basic and diluted earnings (losses) per share computation using the two-class method of accounting in all periods because such stock is considered participating securities. For periods in which we experience a net loss from continuing operations, all potential common shares have been excluded from the calculation of weighted-average shares outstanding, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The average number of shares from options that were excluded from diluted earnings (losses) per share that would potentially dilute earnings per share in the future were as follows:

We review our assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flows are not sufficient to support the asset’s recorded value, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its estimated fair value. Management considers a number of factors such as estimated future cash flows from the assets, appraisals and current market value analysis in determining fair value. The determination of future cash flows requires the estimation of utilization, dayrates, operating margins, sustaining capital and remaining economic life. Such estimates can change based on market conditions, technological advances in the industry or changes in regulations governing the industry. A significantly prolonged period of lower oil and natural gas prices could continue to adversely affect the demand for and prices of our services, which could result in future impairment charges.

Note 13 Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue when control of a good or service promised in a contract (i.e., performance obligation) is transferred to a customer. Control is obtained when a customer has the ability to direct the use of and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good or service. Contract drilling revenues are recorded over time utilizing the input method based on time elapsed. The measurement of progress considers the transfer of the service to the customer as we provide daily drilling services. We receive payment after the services have been performed by billing customers periodically (typically monthly). However, a portion of our revenues are recognized at a point-in-time as control is transferred at a distinct point in time such as with the sale of our top drives and other capital equipment. Within our drilling contracts, we have identified one performance obligation in which the transaction price is allocated.

Contract balances
We perform our obligations under a contract with a customer by transferring goods or services in exchange for consideration from the customer. We recognize a contract asset or liability when we transfer goods or services to a customer and bill an amount which differs from the revenue allocated to the related performance obligations.
The timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers and these timing differences result in receivables, contract assets, or contract liabilities (deferred revenue) on our condensed consolidated balance sheet. In general, we receive payments from customers based on dayrates as stipulated in our contracts (i.e. operating rate, standby rate). The invoices billed to the customer are based on the varying rates applicable to the operating status on each rig. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional.
Dayrate contracts also may contain fees charged to the customer for up-front rig modifications, mobilization and demobilization of equipment and personnel. These fees are associated with contract fulfillment activities, and the related revenue (subject to any constraint on estimates of variable consideration) is allocated to a single performance obligation and recognized ratably over the initial term of the contract. Mobilization fees are generally billable to the customer in the initial phase of a contract and generate contract liabilities until they are recognized as revenue. Demobilization fees are generally received at the end of the contract and generate contract assets when they are recognized as revenue prior to becoming receivables from the customer.
We receive reimbursements from our customers for the purchase of supplies, equipment, personnel services and other services provided at their request. Reimbursable revenues are variable and subject to uncertainty as the amounts received and timing thereof are dependent on factors outside of our influence. Accordingly, these revenues are constrained and not recognized until the uncertainty is resolved, which typically occurs when the related costs are incurred on behalf of the customer. We are generally considered a principal in these transactions and record the associated revenues at the gross amounts billed to the customer.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We often discuss expectations regarding our future markets, demand for our products and services, and our performance in our annual, quarterly and current reports, press releases, and other written and oral statements. Statements relating to matters that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These “forward-looking statements” are based on an analysis of currently available competitive, financial and economic data and our operating plans. They are inherently uncertain and investors should recognize that events and actual results could turn out to be significantly different from our expectations. By way of illustration, when used in this document, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “may,” “predict” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
You should consider the following key factors when evaluating these forward-looking statements:
● | the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic and its impact on our operations as well as oil and gas markets and prices; |
● | fluctuations and volatility in worldwide prices of and demand for oil and natural gas; |
● | fluctuations in levels of oil and natural gas exploration and development activities; |
● | fluctuations in the demand for our services; |
● | competitive and technological changes and other developments in the oil and gas and oilfield services industries; |
● | our ability to renew customer contracts in order to maintain competitiveness; |
● | the existence of operating risks inherent in the oil and gas and oilfield services industries; |
● | the possibility of the loss of one or a number of our large customers; |
● | the impact of long-term indebtedness and other financial commitments on our financial and operating flexibility; |
● | our access to and the cost of capital, including the impact of a downgrade in our credit rating, covenant restrictions, availability under our revolving credit facility, and future issuances of debt or equity securities; |
● | our dependence on our operating subsidiaries and investments to meet our financial obligations; |
● | our ability to retain skilled employees; |
● | our ability to complete, and realize the expected benefits of, strategic transactions; |
● | changes in tax laws and the possibility of changes in other laws and regulations; |
● | the possibility of political or economic instability, civil disturbance, war or acts of terrorism in any of the countries in which we do business; |
● | the possibility of changes to U.S. trade policies and regulations including the imposition of trade embargoes or sanctions; and |
● | general economic conditions, including the capital and credit markets. |
Our business depends, 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 oil or natural gas, that
26
has a material impact on exploration, development and production activities, could also materially affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
The above description of risks and uncertainties is by no means all-inclusive, but highlights certain factors that we believe are important for your consideration. For a more detailed description of risk factors that may affect us or our industry, please refer to Item 1A. — Risk Factors in our 2020 Annual Report.
Management Overview
This section is intended to help you understand our results of operations and our financial condition. This information is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto.
We own and operate one of the world’s largest land-based drilling rig fleets and provide offshore rigs in the United States and numerous international markets. Our business is comprised of our global land-based and offshore drilling rig operations and other rig related services and technologies, consisting of equipment manufacturing, rig instrumentation and optimization software. We also specialize in tubular running services, wellbore placement solutions and are a leading provider of directional drilling and measurement-while-drilling systems and services.
Outlook
The demand for our products and services is a function of the level of spending by oil and gas companies for exploration, development and production activities. The level of exploration, development and production activities is to a large extent tied to the prices of oil and natural gas, which can fluctuate significantly, are highly volatile and tend to be highly sensitive to supply and demand cycles. Additionally, oil and gas companies may attempt to intentionally limit their capital spending to a percentage of their operating cash flows that may be different than what they have used historically, in order to increase returns to their shareholders.
During 2020, the oil markets experienced unprecedented volatility. The COVID-19 outbreak, and its development into a pandemic, along with policies and actions taken by governments and companies and behaviors of customers around the world, had a significant negative impact on demand for oil. The Lower-48 rig market began to stabilize during the second half of 2020. We expect measured but steady increases in activity throughout 2021 for the Lower-48 market. Our International markets have also experienced factors and conditions that have led to similar reductions in activity throughout 2020, but the impact has varied considerably from country to country. As governmental restrictions continue to ease, we expect our international activity to increase through the remainder of the year.
Financial Results
Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020
Operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 totaled $460.5 million, representing a decrease of $257.9 million, or 36%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. Revenues declined across all of our operating segments due to the impact on our businesses brought on by the COVID-19 outbreak mentioned earlier. While all of our segments have been adversely impacted, the US markets experienced the most dramatic decline in activity, as evidenced by the 37% decline in average rigs working within our US Drilling operating segment. Our Drilling Solutions and Rig Technology segments also are affected by the decline in activity in the US. Our International Drilling segment experienced a significant, but less pronounced decline in activity as evidenced by the 26% decline in average rigs working. For a more detailed description of operating results see Segment Results of Operations, below.
Net loss from continuing operations attributable to Nabors common shareholders totaled $140.8 million ($20.16 per diluted share) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to a net loss from continuing operations attributable to Nabors common shareholders of $395.4 million ($56.72 per diluted share) for the three months ended March 31, 2020, or a $254.6 million decrease in the net loss. Our net loss was adversely impacted by the $30.2 million decrease in our segments’ adjusted operating income. The majority of the decrease in net loss is attributable to $276.4 million in various impairments and other charges recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
27
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 totaled $54.7 million, representing a decrease of $2.7 million, or 5%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. This is reflective of general cost-reduction efforts across our operating segments and our corporate offices due to current industry market conditions.
Research and engineering expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2021 totaled $7.5 million, representing a decrease of $3.9 million, or 35%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease is attributable to reductions in staffing levels and other cost control efforts across many of our research and engineering projects and initiatives due to current industry market conditions.
Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $177.3 million, representing a decrease of $49.8 million, or 22%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease is partially attributable to the reduction in rig activity in the current year as compared to the prior year. Impairment charges recorded throughout 2020 also contributed to the decrease in the current period, along with the combination of many assets recently reaching the ends of their useful lives and limited capital expenditures over recent years.

U.S. Drilling
Operating revenues for our U.S. Drilling segment decreased by $132.6 million or 48% during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the corresponding period in 2020 primarily due to a decrease in activity as reflected by a 37% decrease in the average number of rigs working. To a lesser degree, pricing for our services has also been negatively affected by the decline in activity. This reduction in revenues was partially offset by significant cost reductions related to the drop in activity.
28
Canada Drilling
Operating revenues decreased by $4.6 million or 18% during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the corresponding prior year period primarily due to a decrease in activity as evidenced by the 18% decrease in average rigs working and decreased day rates. However, cost reduction actions more than offset the drop in revenue.
International Drilling
Operating revenues for our International Drilling segment decreased by $90.3 million or 27% compared to the corresponding prior year period primarily due to reduced activity, as reflected by the 25% decrease in the average number of rigs working. This reduction in revenues was partially offset by significant cost reductions related to the drop in activity.
Drilling Solutions
Operating revenues for this segment decreased by $19.7 million or 36% during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the corresponding period in 2020 primarily due to the reduced activity across the U.S. as the market softened in response to reduced oil prices and COVID-19. The reduction in activity and operating revenues was partially offset by cost management initiatives mainly focusing on labor and repair and maintenance costs as well as an overall reduction in administrative expenses.
Rig Technologies
Operating revenues for our Rig Technologies segment decreased by $16.4 million or 39% during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the corresponding period due to the overall decline in activity in the U.S. as mentioned previously. Despite a significant drop in revenues of $16.4 million, this segment enacted significant cost reduction measures to mitigate all the impact, such that adjusted operating income was up by $5.6 million.
Other Financial Information
Interest expense
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $43.0 million, representing a decrease of $11.7 million, or 21%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was primarily due to debt restructuring in Q4 2020 resulting in reduced interest expense.
Impairments and other charges
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized impairments and other charges of approximately $2.5 million, which primarily consisted of severance and reorganization costs of $1.1 million due to cost cutting measures that we enacted in response to the current industry environment, as well as write downs and provisions for $1.0 million of certain other assets including receivables related to our operations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized impairments and other charges of approximately $276.4 million, which primarily included impairments of long-lived assets of $147.8 million comprised of underutilized rigs and drilling-related equipment across all of our operating segments. We recognized impairments of $16.4 million for the remaining goodwill balance attributable to our Rig Technologies operating segment and $11.4 million for the remaining goodwill balance attributable to our Drilling Solutions operating segment. Additionally, we recognized an impairment of $83.6 million to write off our remaining intangible assets.
Other, net
Other, net for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $4.9 million of loss, which included a net gain on debt buybacks of $8.1 million. This was offset by net losses on sales and disposals of assets of approximately $8.5 million, foreign currency loss of $2.4 million and an increase in litigation reserves of $1.5 million.
29
Other, net for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $17.1 million of income, which included a net gain on debt buybacks of $15.7 million, release of contingent consideration reserves in connection with a previous acquisition of $8.6 million and foreign currency exchange gains of $0.6 million. This was partially offset by net losses on sales and disposals of assets of approximately $1.4 million and an increase in litigation reserves of $0.7 million.
Income taxes
Our worldwide tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $9.7 million compared to $17.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease in tax expense was primarily attributable to a decrease in operating income in the jurisdictions in which we operate, as well as the change in our geographic mix of our pre-tax earnings (losses). Additionally, the higher tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 is the result of the discrete accrual of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets of $7.4 million.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Financial Condition and Sources of Liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and investments, availability under our revolving credit facility and cash generated from operations. As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and short-term investments of $417.6 million and working capital of $545.2 million. As of December 31, 2020, we had cash and short-term investments of $481.7 million and working capital of $616.0 million.
At March 31, 2021, we had $632.5 million of borrowings outstanding under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility, which has a total borrowing capacity of $1.014 billion. The 2018 Revolving Credit Facility requires us to maintain “minimum liquidity” of no less than $160.0 million at all times, and an asset to debt coverage ratio of at least 4.25:1 as of the end of each calendar quarter. Minimum liquidity is defined to mean, generally, a consolidated cash balance consisting of (a) the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents maintained in a deposit account U.S. or Canadian branch of a commercial bank, plus (b) the lesser of $75 million or an amount equal to 75% of the aggregate amount of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents held in deposit account of a commercial bank outside of the U.S. or Canada, plus (c) available commitments under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. The asset to debt coverage ratio applies only during the period which Nabors Delaware fails to maintain an investment grade rating from at least two rating agencies, which was the case as of the date of this report. As of March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with both the minimum liquidity and asset to debt coverage ratio requirements under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. We also had $60.3 million of letters of credit outstanding under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility.
As of the date of this report, we were in compliance with all covenants under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility. If we fail to perform our obligations under the covenants, the revolving credit commitments under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility could be terminated, and any outstanding borrowings under the facilities could be declared immediately due and payable. If necessary, we have the ability to manage our covenant compliance by taking certain actions including reductions in discretionary capital or other types of controllable expenditures, monetization of assets, amending or renegotiating the revolving credit agreement, accessing capital markets through a variety of alternative methods, or any combination of these alternatives. We expect to remain in compliance with all covenants under the 2018 Revolving Credit Facility during the twelve month period following the date of this report based on our current operational and financial projections. However, we can make no assurance of continued compliance if our current projections or material underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect. If we fail to comply with the covenants, the revolving credit commitment could be terminated, and any outstanding borrowings under the facility could be declared immediately due and payable.
Our ability to access capital markets or to otherwise obtain sufficient financing may be affected by our senior unsecured debt ratings as provided by the major credit rating agencies in the United States and our historical ability to access these markets as needed. While there can be no assurances that we will be able to access these markets in the future, we believe that we will be able to access capital markets or otherwise obtain financing in order to satisfy any payment obligation that might arise upon maturity, exchange or purchase of our notes and our debt facilities, loss of availability of our revolving credit facilities and our A/R Agreement (see—Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement, below), and that any cash payment due, in addition to our other cash obligations, would not ultimately have a material adverse impact on our liquidity or financial position. The major U.S. credit rating agencies have previously downgraded our senior unsecured debt rating to non-investment grade. These and any further ratings downgrades could adversely
30
impact our ability to access debt markets in the future, increase the cost of future debt, and potentially require us to post letters of credit for certain obligations.
We had 18 letter-of-credit facilities with various banks as of March 31, 2021. Availability under these facilities as of March 31, 2021 was as follows:

Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement
On September 13, 2019, we entered into the $250 million A/R Agreement whereby the Originators sold or contributed, and will on an ongoing basis continue to sell or contribute, certain of their domestic trade accounts receivables to a wholly-owned, bankruptcy-remote, SPE. The SPE would in turn, sell, transfer, convey and assign to third-party Purchasers, all the rights, title and interest in and to its pool of eligible receivables. This agreement is currently scheduled to expire on August 13, 2021.
The amount available for purchase under the A/R Agreement fluctuates over time based on the total amount of eligible receivables generated during the normal course of business after excluding excess concentrations and certain other ineligible receivables. The maximum purchase commitment of the Purchasers under the A/R Agreement is approximately $250.0 million and the amount of receivables purchased by the Purchasers as of March 31, 2021 was $74.0 million.
The Originators, Nabors Delaware, the SPE, and the Company provide representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities under the A/R Agreement and the Indemnification Guarantee. See further details at Note 5—Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement.
Future Cash Requirements
Our current cash and investments, projected cash flows from operations, proceeds from equity or debt issuances and our revolving credit facility are expected to adequately finance our purchase commitments, capital expenditures, acquisitions, scheduled debt service requirements, and all other expected cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, we can make no assurances that our current operational and financial projections will prove to be correct, especially in light of the effects the COVID-19 pandemic has on oil and natural gas prices and, in turn, our business. A sustained period of highly depressed oil and natural gas prices could have a significant effect on our customers’ capital expenditure spending and therefore our operations, cash flows and liquidity.
Purchase commitments outstanding at March 31, 2021 totaled approximately $132.3 million, primarily for capital expenditures, other operating expenses and purchases of inventory. We can reduce planned expenditures if necessary or increase them if market conditions and new business opportunities warrant it. The level of our outstanding purchase commitments and our expected level of capital expenditures over the next 12 months represent a number of capital programs that are currently underway or planned.
See our discussion of guarantees issued by Nabors that could have a potential impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in future periods included below under “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements (Including Guarantees).”
There have been no material changes to the contractual cash obligations table that was included in our 2020 Annual Report.
On August 25, 2015, our Board authorized a share repurchase program (the “program”) under which we may repurchase, from time to time, up to $400.0 million of our common shares by various means, including in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. Authorization for the program, which was renewed in February 2019, does not have an expiration date and does not obligate us to repurchase any of our common shares. Since establishing the
31
program, we have repurchased 0.3 million of our common shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $121.1 million under this program. The repurchased shares, which are held by our subsidiaries, are registered and tradable subject to applicable securities law limitations and have the same voting and other rights as other outstanding shares. As of March 31, 2021, the remaining amount authorized under the program that may be used to purchase shares was $278.9 million. As of March 31, 2021, our subsidiaries held 1.1 million of our common shares.
We may from time to time seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities, both in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors and may involve material amounts.
Cash Flows
Our cash flows depend, to a large degree, on the level of spending by oil and gas companies for exploration, development and production activities. Sustained decreases in the price of oil or natural gas could have a material impact on these activities, and could also materially affect our cash flows. Certain sources and uses of cash, such as the level of discretionary capital expenditures or acquisitions, purchases and sales of investments, dividends, loans, issuances and repurchases of debt and of our common shares are within our control and are adjusted as necessary based on market conditions. We discuss our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 below.
Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $79.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to net cash provided of $59.2 million during the corresponding 2020 period. Operating cash flows are our primary source of capital and liquidity. Cash from operating results (before working capital changes) was $52.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, a decrease of $92.4 million when compared to $144.5 million in the corresponding 2020 period. Changes in working capital items such as collection of receivables, other deferred revenue arrangements and payments of operating payables are also significant factors affecting operating cash flows and can be highly volatile in periods of increasing or decreasing activity levels. Changes in working capital items provided $27.4 million in cash flows during the three months ended March 31, 2021, a $112.7 million improvement as compared to the negative $85.3 million in cash flows from working capital in the corresponding 2020 period. The positive impact from working capital more than offset the negative impact from operating results.
Investing Activities. Net cash used for investing activities totaled $19.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to net cash used of $50.8 million during the corresponding 2020 period. Our primary use of cash for investing activities is capital expenditures for rig-related enhancements, new construction and equipment, as well as sustaining capital expenditures. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we used cash for capital expenditures totaling $40.9 million and $59.4 million, respectively.
We received $10.8 million in proceeds from sales of assets and insurance claims during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $6.8 million for the corresponding 2020 period. We also received $10.9 million in sales and maturities of investments for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $1.8 million for the corresponding 2020 period.
Financing Activities. Net cash used for financing activities totaled $113.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we used $49.1 million for a redeemable non-controlling interest distribution, $40.0 million in net amounts repaid under our revolving credit facility and by a $16.8 million repayment on our senior notes. Additionally, we paid dividends totaling $3.6 million to our preferred shareholders.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $37.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we received net proceeds of $1.0 billion in proceeds from the issuance of new long term debt as well as $145.0 million in net amounts borrowed under our revolving credit facilities. This was partially offset by a $1.1 billion repayment on our senior notes. Additionally, we paid dividends totaling $7.9 million to our common and preferred shareholders.

Summarized Combined Financial Information for Guarantee of Securities of Subsidiaries
Nabors Delaware is an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Nabors. Nabors fully and unconditionally guarantees the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Nabors Delaware’s registered notes, which are its (i) 4.625% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”), (ii) 5.10% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”), (iii) 5.50% Senior Notes due 2023 (the “5.50% 2023 Notes”) and (iv) 5.75% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes” and, together with the 2021 Notes, the 2023 Notes, the 5.50% 2023 Notes and the 2025 Notes, the “Registered Notes”), and any other obligations of Nabors Delaware under the Registered Notes when and as they become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon redemption, by acceleration or otherwise, if Nabors Delaware is unable to satisfy these obligations. Nabors' guarantee of Nabors Delaware's obligations under the Registered Notes are its unsecured and unsubordinated obligation and have the same ranking with respect to Nabors' indebtedness as the Registered Notes have with respect to Nabors Delaware's indebtedness. In the event that Nabors is required to withhold or deduct on account of any Bermudian taxes due from any payment made under or with respect to its guarantees, subject to certain exceptions, Nabors will pay additional amounts so that the net amount received by each holder of Registered Notes will equal the amount that such holder would have received if the Bermudian taxes had not been required to be withheld or deducted.
The following summarized financial information is included so that separate financial statements of Nabors Delaware are not required to be filed with the SEC. The condensed consolidating financial statements present investments in both consolidated and unconsolidated affiliates using the equity method of accounting.
In lieu of providing separate financial statements for issuers and guarantors (the “Obligated Group”), we have presented the accompanying supplemental summarized combined balance sheet and income statement information for the Obligated Group based on Rule 13-01 of the SEC’s Regulation S-X that we early adopted effective April 1, 2020.
All significant intercompany items among the Obligated Group have been eliminated in the supplemental summarized combined financial information. The Obligated Group’s investment balances in Subsidiary Non-Guarantors have been excluded from the supplemental combined financial information. Significant intercompany balances and activity for the Obligated Group with other related parties, including Subsidiary Non-Guarantors (referred to as “affiliates”), are presented separately in the accompanying supplemental summarized financial information.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements (Including Guarantees)
We are a party to transactions, agreements or other contractual arrangements defined as “off-balance sheet arrangements” that could have a material future effect on our financial position, results of operations, liquidity and capital resources. The most significant of these off-balance sheet arrangements include the A/R Agreement (see —Accounts Receivable Sales Agreement, above) and certain agreements and obligations under which we provide financial or performance assurance to third parties. Certain of these financial or performance assurances serve as guarantees, including standby letters of credit issued on behalf of insurance carriers in conjunction with our workers’ compensation insurance program and other financial surety instruments such as bonds. In addition, we have provided indemnifications, which serve as guarantees, to some third parties. These guarantees include indemnification provided by us to our share transfer agent and our insurance carriers. We are not able to estimate the potential future maximum payments that might be due under our indemnification guarantees. Management believes the likelihood that we would be required to perform or otherwise incur any material losses associated with any of these guarantees is remote.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We may be exposed to market risks arising from the use of financial instruments in the ordinary course of business as discussed in our 2020 Annual Report. There were no material changes in our exposure to market risk during the three months ended March 31, 2021 from those disclosed in our 2020 Annual Report.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We have investments in certain unconsolidated entities that we do not control or manage. Because we do not control or manage these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to these entities are necessarily more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the information set forth elsewhere in this report, the risk factors set forth in Part 1, Item 1A, of our 2020 Annual Report, should be carefully considered when evaluating us. These risks are not the only risks we face. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
We withheld the following shares of our common stock to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with grants of stock awards during the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the distributions described below. These shares may be deemed to be “issuer purchases” of shares that are required to be disclosed pursuant to this Item, but were not purchased as part of a publicly announced program to purchase common shares:

(1) | Shares were withheld from employees and directors to satisfy certain tax withholding obligations due in connection with grants of shares under our 2013 Stock Plan and 2016 Stock Plan. Each of the 2016 Stock Plan, the 2013 Stock Plan, the 2003 Employee Stock Plan and the 1999 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors provide for the withholding of shares to satisfy tax obligations, but do not specify a maximum number of shares that can be withheld for this purpose. These shares were not purchased as part of a publicly announced program to purchase common shares. |
(2) | In August 2015, our Board authorized a share repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $400.0 million of our common shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The program was renewed by the Board in February 2019. Through March 31, 2021, we repurchased 0.3 million of our common shares for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $121.1 million under this program. As of March 31, 2021, we had $278.9 million that remained authorized under the program that may be used to repurchase shares. The repurchased shares, which are held by our subsidiaries, are registered and tradable subject to applicable securities law limitations and have the same voting, dividend and other rights as other outstanding shares. As of March 31, 2021, our subsidiaries held 1.1 million of our common shares. |
