Nabors Industries Ltd (NYSE:NBR) completed the acquisition of Parker Wellbore, with operations performing in line with expectations and synergy targets on track. The international drilling business, particularly in Saudi Arabia, performed well, contributing positively to the quarter's results. Nabors Industries Ltd (NYSE:NBR) is on track to achieve $40 million in cost synergies from the Parker acquisition in 2025. The company has managed to add several rigs in the lower 48 market and continues to deploy rigs in international markets. Nabors Industries Ltd (NYSE:NBR) expects to generate significant free cash flow in 2025 to reduce debt, despite material cash consumption. The US lower 48 market experienced a decline in daily rig margins due to increased costs and operational inefficiencies. Nabors Industries Ltd (NYSE:NBR) suspended operations in Russia due to expanded US sanctions, impacting financial performance. The company faced challenges with high levels of churn in the US market, affecting operational efficiencies and margins. Tariff uncertainties and potential impacts on the global economy pose risks to Nabors Industries Ltd (NYSE:NBR)'s operations. Nabors Industries Ltd (NYSE:NBR) experienced decreased activity in certain international markets, unrelated to current recession fears. Q: Have you started accruing any debt in the SANAD joint venture? A: William Restrepo, Chief Financial Officer: No, and we don't plan to for now as there's no need. Q: Do you know if Saudi Aramco is finished with the rig releases, or do you expect more this quarter? A: Anthony Petrello, CEO: Last year, there were 31 land rigs suspended, and this quarter, there were eight. However, there were also additions, with 21 last year and seven this quarter. The net change was 11 rigs. Aramco's condensate production from gas is influencing these numbers. While there are contingency plans for more suspensions, they haven't been called upon yet. Q: Do you expect a restart of a rig in Mexico, and has Pemex indicated this will happen? A: Anthony Petrello, CEO: Yes, Pemex is keen to restart the rig, and we continue discussions about payment issues. William Restrepo, CFO: It's in their schedule, and we believe it will start as planned. We managed to collect the same amount we invoiced in the first quarter and are working on a larger payment in the second quarter. Q: How do you think about accelerating value realization from SANAD, potentially via an IPO? A: Anthony Petrello, CEO: An IPO is a clear path for value realization, especially given the attractive valuations in the Middle East. Both Aramco and we are considering this option, and it could create significant value for shareholders. Q: Can you provide more details on the synergies expected from the Parker acquisition? A: William Restrepo, CFO: Initially, we didn't have full access to the company data. Now, we see higher corporate cost reductions and more overlap in costs that can be eliminated. There are also improvements in real estate and contract exits. For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, as disclosed by Nabors from time to time in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result of these factors, Nabors' actual results may differ materially from those indicated or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release reflect management's estimates and beliefs as of the date of this press release. Nabors does not undertake to update these forward-looking statements except as required by law. Non-GAAP Disclaimer This press release may present certain 'non-GAAP' financial measures. The components of these non-GAAP measures are computed by using amounts that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ('GAAP'). Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) before income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, income tax expense (benefit), investment income (loss), interest expense, other, net and depreciation and amortization. As a non-GAAP measure, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations and therefore should not be used in isolation or as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management evaluates the performance of its operating segments and the consolidated Company based on several criteria, including Adjusted EBITDA because it believes that this financial measure accurately reflects the Company's ongoing profitability and performance. Securities analysts and investors also use this measure as some of the metrics on which they analyze the Company's performance. Other companies in this industry may compute Adjusted EBITDA differently. These differences could be meaningful. We do not provide a forward-looking reconciliation of our outlook for Adjusted EBITDA as the amount and significance of items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures cannot be estimated at this time without unreasonable efforts.
