HAMILTON, Bermuda, March 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Nabors Industries Ltd. (“Nabors” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NBR) today announced the closing of its acquisition of Parker Wellbore (“Parker”), advancing Nabors’ leadership position in drilling and related, value-added services.

We are excited to welcome a strong and talented organization to the Nabors team. Our customers will benefit from the best practices that both organizations employ, and we expect to create incremental value for them by combining our offerings. Our immediate priority is to ensure seamless integration, and to capture the synergies we have projected.”

“I would like to thank both teams for their dedication to the integration planning process, while maintaining outstanding customer service. The teams have worked exceedingly well together during this period, giving reason for optimism as we move forward. I also want to thank Sandy Esslemont, Parker’s President and CEO, for his leadership and to wish him continued success.”

Forward-looking Statements

The information included in this press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, as disclosed by Nabors from time to time in its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result of these factors, Nabors' actual results may differ materially from those indicated or implied by such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this press release reflect management’s estimates and beliefs as of the date of this press release. Nabors does not undertake to update these forward-looking statements 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.

| NEWS RELEASE

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.
