NABORS INDUSTRIES LTD (symbol: NBR) is the issuer of record for a Form 8-K filing submitted to the SEC.
Nabors Industries Ltd., through wholly owned subsidiary Nabors Industries, Inc. (“Nabors Delaware”), entered into a waiver dated July 23, 2026 with Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the lenders under its amended and restated credit agreement dated June 17, 2024. The waiver modifies restrictions under that facility related to Nabors Delaware’s ability to redeem certain debt securities.
The waiver permits an optional redemption of up to $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Nabors Delaware’s 9.125% senior priority guaranteed notes due 2030, described as the Partial Redemption. This Partial Redemption is expected to occur on August 12, 2026.
Nabors Industries reported Q2 2026 operating revenues of $814.8 million, about 4% above Q1. Net loss attributable to shareholders was $22.3 million, while adjusted EBITDA reached $221.7 million. Average total rigs working increased to 171.2, with 67.8 in the Lower 48 and 93.4 internationally.
Adjusted free cash flow was $12.3 million, a $60 million sequential improvement as profitability rose and capital spending timing improved. Management now targets full‑year 2026 adjusted EBITDA of $920–$930 million and adjusted free cash flow of $20–$30 million, with consolidated capital spending reduced to $710–$730 million.
Nabors Industries Ltd. held its annual general meeting of shareholders, with 12,866,339 shares participating, representing 80.61% of the common shares entitled to vote as of the record date. All nominated directors were elected, each receiving a majority of shares voted.
Shareholders also voted on three additional proposals. One proposal was approved with 12,529,135 votes for and 297,829 against, and another was approved with 10,292,678 votes for and 1,032,052 against. A different proposal did not pass, receiving 3,823,997 votes for and 7,497,073 against.
Nabors Industries reported first-quarter 2026 operating revenues of $783.5 million, up from $736.2 million a year earlier but slightly below $797.5 million in the prior quarter. Net loss attributable to shareholders was $15.2 million, or $(1.54) per diluted share, compared with net income of $10.3 million a year ago and $33.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.
First-quarter adjusted EBITDA was $204.8 million, roughly in line with both the prior-year and prior-quarter levels, while adjusted operating income was $48.6 million. Adjusted free cash flow was negative $48.2 million, an improvement versus negative $61.2 million in the first quarter of 2025 but weaker than strong fourth-quarter 2025 generation.
Operationally, the company’s average total rigs working increased to 167.9 from 153.2 a year earlier, driven by growth in both the Lower 48 and international markets. Nabors continued debt reduction, redeeming the remaining notes due 2028 and bringing total debt to $2.1 billion as of March 31, 2026. Management’s outlook for the second quarter calls for modestly higher rig counts, stable segment-level EBITDA, capital expenditures of $180–$190 million, and approximately $10 million of adjusted free cash flow.
Nabors Industries Ltd. entered into an Incremental Joinder to its amended and restated credit agreement on April 7, 2026, through subsidiary Nabors Industries, Inc.
The joinder increases the Letters of Credit Maximum Amount by $25,000,000, allowing letters of credit reimbursement obligations up to $150,000,000 outstanding at any time, without reducing revolving loan capacity.
Nabors Industries Ltd. reported mixed but strengthening results for the fourth quarter and full year 2025. Fourth‑quarter operating revenues were $797.5 million, slightly below the third quarter’s $818.2 million. Net income attributable to shareholders was $10.3 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, versus $274.2 million and $16.85 in the prior quarter, which had a one‑time after‑tax gain on the sale of Quail Tools of $314 million.
Fourth‑quarter adjusted EBITDA was $221.6 million, down modestly from $236.3 million in the third quarter. For 2025, operating revenues rose to $3.18 billion from $2.93 billion, and full‑year adjusted EBITDA increased to $912.7 million from $881.3 million, reflecting broad operational growth.
Management highlighted a “transformational” improvement in the capital structure. Including a January redemption, total debt was reduced by $388 million since year‑end 2024, and net debt fell to $1.55 billion from $2.11 billion a year earlier. Annual interest expense is expected to decline by about $45 million, directly boosting adjusted free cash flow. Fourth‑quarter adjusted free cash flow surged to $131.8 million from $5.6 million in the third quarter, helped by stronger EBITDA, better collections in Mexico, lower‑than‑expected capital spending and claim settlements.

The change revises the restricted payments covenant to allow Nabors Delaware to repurchase up to $100 million of its own or parent equity in any fiscal year.
Any use of this new buyback capacity will reduce, dollar-for-dollar, the subsidiary’s ability to pay dividends, and dividends will similarly reduce room for equity repurchases. All other terms of the existing credit agreement remain unchanged.
