NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 Nature of Operations

Nabors has grown from a land drilling business centered in the United States and Canada to a global business aimed at optimizing the entire well life cycle, with operations on land and offshore in most of the major oil and gas markets in the world. The majority of our business is conducted through two business lines:

Drilling & Rig Services

This business line is comprised of our global drilling rig operations and drilling-related services, consisting of equipment manufacturing, instrumentation optimization software and directional drilling services.

Completion & Production Services

This business line is comprised of our operations involved in the completion, life-of-well maintenance and eventual plugging and abandonment of a well. These services include stimulation, coiled-tubing, cementing, wireline, workover, well-servicing and fluids management.

As a global provider of services for land-based and offshore oil and natural gas wells, Nabors’ fleet of rigs and equipment includes:

· 496 actively marketed land drilling rigs for oil and gas land drilling operations in the United States, Canada and over 26 other countries throughout the world.

· 446 actively marketed rigs for land well-servicing and workover services in the United States and approximately 98 rigs for land well-servicing and workover services in Canada.

· 36 platform, 7 jackup and 1 barge rig actively marketed in the United States and multiple international markets.

· Approximately 800,000 hydraulic horsepower for hydraulic fracturing, cementing, nitrogen and acid pressure pumping services in key basins throughout the United States.

In addition:

· We offer a wide range of ancillary well-site services, including engineering, transportation and disposal, construction, maintenance, well logging, directional drilling, rig instrumentation, data collection and other support services in select U.S. and international markets.

· We manufacture and lease or sell top drives for a broad range of drilling applications, directional drilling systems, rig instrumentation and data collection equipment, pipeline handling equipment and rig reporting software.

· We have a 51% ownership interest in a joint venture in Saudi Arabia, which owns and actively markets 5 rigs in addition to the rigs we lease to the joint venture.

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, including Nabors Industries, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Nabors Delaware”), our wholly owned subsidiary.

Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Financial Information

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of Nabors are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“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 GAAP have been omitted. Therefore, these financial statements should be read along with our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (“2013 Annual Report”). In management’s opinion, the consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2014, as well as the results of our operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and our cash flows and changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, in accordance with GAAP. Interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2014 may not be indicative of results that will be realized for the full year ending December 31, 2014.

Our independent registered public accounting firm has reviewed and issued a report on these consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. Pursuant to Rule 436(c) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), this report should not be considered a part of any registration statement prepared or certified within the meanings of Sections 7 and 11 of such Act.

Prior Period Revision

During the first quarter of 2014, we determined that we had incorrectly applied certain aspects of ASC 830 - Foreign Currency Matters with respect to the recording of foreign currency gains or losses on certain intercompany transactions. GAAP requires the recognition of foreign currency gains or losses on U.S. dollar denominated intercompany balances of our subsidiaries that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar. The impact was primarily related to the periods between 2002 and 2009, which is the period over which a series of intercompany loans were outstanding between our Canadian subsidiary, whose functional currency is the Canadian dollar, and other subsidiaries whose functional currencies are the U.S. dollar.

The net effect understated net income for periods before 2009 by approximately $91.5 million, due to foreign currency gains that should have been recorded through net income, rather than through Cumulative Translation Adjustment (a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income). The correction of this error resulted in a revision to increase the beginning Retained Earnings at January 1, 2010 by approximately $91.5 million with the offset being a decrease to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, both of which are components of Shareholders’ Equity. There was no other material impact to our assets, liabilities, cash flows or profit and loss for any periods presented. We do not consider this revision material to any period.

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nabors, as well as all majority owned and non-majority owned subsidiaries required to be consolidated under GAAP. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Investments in operating entities where we have the ability to exert significant influence, but where we do not control operating and financial policies, are accounted for using the equity method. Our share of the net income (loss) of these entities is recorded as earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated statements of income (loss). The investments in these entities are included in investment in unconsolidated affiliates in our consolidated balance sheets.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market. 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:

	June 30,		December 31,
	2014		2013
	(In thousands)
Raw materials	$	139,090	$	128,606
Work-in-progress	38,537		26,762
Finished goods	38,817		54,425
	$	216,444	$	209,793

Goodwill

We initially assess goodwill for impairment based on qualitative factors to determine whether to perform the two-step annual goodwill impairment test, a Level 3 fair value measurement. After qualitative assessment, step one of the impairment test compares the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, a second step is required to measure the goodwill impairment loss. The second step compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the excess

The fair values calculated in these impairment tests were determined using discounted cash flow models involving assumptions based on our utilization of rigs or other oil and gas service equipment, revenues and earnings from affiliates, as well as direct costs, general and administrative costs, depreciation, applicable income taxes, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. Our discounted cash flow projections for each reporting unit were based on financial forecasts. The future cash flows were discounted to present value using discount rates determined to be appropriate for each reporting unit. Terminal values for each reporting unit were calculated using a Gordon Growth methodology with a long-term growth rate of 3%.

Table of Contents

Our estimated fair values of our reporting units incorporate judgment and the use of estimates by management. Potential factors requiring assessment include a further or sustained decline in our stock price, declines in oil and natural gas prices, a variance in results of operations from forecasts, and additional transactions in the oil and gas industry. Another factor in determining whether impairment has occurred is the relationship between our market capitalization and our book value. As part of our annual review, we compared the sum of our reporting units’ estimated fair value, which included the estimated fair value of non-operating assets and liabilities, less debt, to our market capitalization and assessed the reasonableness of our estimated fair value. Any of the above-mentioned factors may cause us to re-evaluate goodwill during any quarter throughout the year.

Based on our review, there was no goodwill impairment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) relating to the reporting of discontinued operations and the disclosures related to disposals of components of an entity. The core principles address the question around whether the disposal represents a strategic shift, if the operations and cash flows can be clearly distinguished and continuing involvement will no longer preclude a disposal from being presented as discontinued operations. These changes are effective for interim and annual periods that begin after December 15, 2014. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU relating to the revenue recognition from contracts with customers that creates a common revenue standard for GAAP and IFRS. The core principle will require recognition of revenue to represent the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration, including costs incurred, to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. These changes are effective for interim and annual periods that begin after December 15, 2016. Early application is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014, the FASB issued an ASU relating to the accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The core principle will require the reporting entity to apply existing guidance in Topic 718-Compensation-Stock Compensation relating to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. These changes are effective for interim and annual periods that begin after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 4 Fair Value Measurements

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014. Our debt securities could transfer into or out of a Level 1 or 2 measures depending on the availability of independent and current pricing at the end of each quarter. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, there were no transfers of our financial assets between Level 1 and Level 2 measures. Our financial assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements were applied with respect to our nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured on a nonrecurring basis, which would consist of measurements primarily to assets held-for-sale, goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination, asset retirement obligations and our pipeline contractual commitment.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of our financial instruments has been estimated in accordance with GAAP. The fair value of our long-term debt, revolving credit facility and commercial paper is estimated based on quoted market prices or prices quoted from third-party financial institutions. The carrying and fair values of these liabilities were as follows:

Note 5 Share-Based Compensation

We have several share-based employee and director compensation plans, which are more fully described in Note 9 — Share-Based Compensation in our 2013 Annual Report. Total share-based compensation expense, which includes stock options and restricted stock, totaled $8.6 million and $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $19.3 million and $38.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Share-based compensation expense has been allocated to our various operating segments. See Note 13 — Segment Information.

Stock Options

The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $46.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The total fair value of stock options that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $1.5 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we awarded 1,143,002 and 4,334,581 shares of restricted stock, respectively, vesting over periods of up to four years, to our employees and directors. These awards had an aggregate value at their date of grant of $26.1 million and $71.1 million, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $25.3 million and $36.3 million, respectively.

Restricted Stock Based on Performance

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we awarded 362,311 shares of restricted stock, vesting over a period of three years to some of our executives. The performance awards granted were based upon achievement of specific financial or operational objectives. The number of shares granted was determined by the number of performance goals achieved during the period beginning January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.

Our performance awards based on performance conditions are liability-classified awards until shares are granted, of which our accrued liabilities included $1.0 million at June 30, 2014 for the performance period beginning January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014. The fair value of these awards are estimated at each reporting period, based on internal metrics and marked to market.

Restricted Stock Based on Market Conditions

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we awarded 395,550 and 353,933 shares of restricted stock, respectively, which will vest based on our performance compared to our peer group over a three-year period. These awards had an aggregate value at their date of grant of $4.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively, after consideration of all assumptions. The grant date fair value of these awards was based on a Monte Carlo model, using the following assumptions during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

	2014			2013
Risk free interest rate	0.80		%	0.41		%

Commercial Paper Program

As of June 30, 2014, we had approximately $441.1 million of commercial paper outstanding. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings at June 30, 2014 was 0.33%. Our commercial paper borrowings are classified as long-term debt because the borrowings are fully supported by availability under our revolving credit facility, which matures as currently structured in November 2017, more than one year from the balance sheet date.

Revolving Credit Facility

As of June 30, 2014, we had approximately $110.0 million of borrowings outstanding. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings at June 30, 2014 was 1.45%. The revolving credit facility contains various covenants and restrictive provisions that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments or loans and create liens and require us to maintain a net funded indebtedness to total capitalization ratio, as defined in each agreement. We were in compliance with all covenants under the agreement at June 30, 2014. If we fail to perform our obligations under the covenants, the revolving credit commitment could be terminated, and any outstanding borrowings under the facility could be declared immediately due and payable.

Note 7 Common Shares

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our employees exercised vested options to acquire 2.9 million and 0.3 million of our common shares, respectively, resulting in proceeds of $29.0 million and $3.2 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we withheld 0.3 million and 0.2 million, respectively, of our common shares with a fair value of $7.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively, to satisfy tax withholding obligations in connection with the vesting of all stock awards.

On April 25, 2014, a cash dividend of $0.04 per share was declared for shareholders of record on June 9, 2014. The dividend was paid on June 30, 2014 in the amount of $11.9 million and was charged to retained earnings in our consolidated statement of changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Note 8 Subsidiary Preferred Stock

During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we paid $70.9 million to redeem the 75,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding of our subsidiary and paid all dividends due on such shares. The result of the redemption was a loss of $1.688 million, representing the difference between the redemption amount and the carrying value of the subsidiary preferred stock. The loss results in a charge to retained earnings for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and a reduction to net income used to determine income available for common shareholders in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share in the period of transaction. We also paid regular and accrued dividends of $750,000 and $108,750, respectively, and special dividends of $375,000. These dividends were treated as regular dividends, and as such were reflected in net income in the consolidated statement of income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Note 9 Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

Income Tax

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous other jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We are regularly audited by tax authorities. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different than what is reflected in income tax provisions and accruals. An audit or litigation could materially affect our financial position, income tax provision, net income, or cash flows in the period or periods challenged.

It is possible that future changes to tax laws (including tax treaties) could impact our ability to realize the tax savings recorded to date as well as future tax savings, resulting from our 2002 corporate reorganization. See Note 14 — Income Taxes to our 2013 Annual Report for additional discussion.

In 2006, Nabors Drilling International Limited, one of our wholly owned Bermuda subsidiaries (“NDIL”), received a Notice of Assessment from Mexico’s federal tax authorities in connection with the audit of NDIL’s Mexico branch for 2003. The notice proposed to deny depreciation expense deductions relating to drilling rigs operating in Mexico in 2003. The notice also proposed to deny a deduction for payments made to an affiliated company for the procurement of labor services in Mexico. NDIL’s Mexico branch took similar deductions for depreciation and labor expenses from 2004 to 2008. In 2009, the government proposed similar assessments against the Mexico branch of another wholly owned Bermuda subsidiary, Nabors Drilling International II Ltd. (“NDIL II”) for 2006. We anticipate that a similar assessment will eventually be proposed against NDIL through 2008 and against NDIL II for 2007 to 2010. Although we previously concluded that the deductions were appropriate for each of the years, a reserve has been recorded in accordance with GAAP. During 2013, we reached a negotiated settlement for NDIL’s 2003, 2005 and 2006 tax years (the statute of limitations had previously expired on the 2004 tax year) and NDIL II’s 2006 tax year. Accordingly, the corresponding reserves were reduced by approximately $20 million during 2013. After this settlement, the remaining amounts assessed or expected to be assessed in the aggregate, range from $30 million to $35 million, for which reserves are recorded in accordance with GAAP. If we ultimately do not prevail, we would be required to recognize additional tax expense for any amount in excess of the current reserve.

Self-Insurance

We estimate the level of our liability related to insurance and record reserves for these amounts in our consolidated financial statements. Our estimates are based on the facts and circumstances specific to existing claims and our past experience with similar claims. These loss estimates and accruals recorded in our financial statements for claims have historically been reasonable in light of the actual amount of claims paid and are actuarially supported. Although we believe our insurance coverage and reserve estimates are reasonable, a significant accident or other event that is not fully covered by insurance or contractual indemnity could occur and could materially affect our financial position and results of operations for a particular period.

We self-insure for certain losses relating to workers’ compensation, employers’ liability, general liability, automobile liability and property damage. Effective April 1, 2014, some of our workers’ compensation claims, employers’ liability and marine employers’ liability claims are subject to a $3.0 million per-occurrence deductible; additionally, some of our automobile liability claims are subject to a $2.5 million deductible. General liability claims remain subject to a $5.0 million per-occurrence deductible.

In addition, we are subject to a $5.0 million deductible for land rigs and for offshore rigs. This applies to all kinds of risks of physical damage except for named windstorms in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico for which we are self-insured.

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 2009, the Court of Ouargla entered a judgment of approximately $17.7 million (at current exchange rates) against us relating to alleged customs infractions in Algeria. We believe we did not receive proper notice of the judicial proceedings, and that the amount of the judgment was excessive in any case. We asserted the lack of legally required notice as a basis for challenging the judgment on appeal to the Algeria Supreme Court. In May 2012, that court reversed the lower court and remanded the case to the Ouargla Court of Appeals for treatment consistent with the Supreme Court’s ruling. In January 2013, the Ouargla Court of Appeals reinstated the judgment. We have again lodged an appeal to the Algeria Supreme Court, asserting the same challenges as before. Based upon our understanding of applicable law and precedent, we continue to believe that we will prevail. Although the appeal remains ongoing at this time, the Hassi Messaoud customs office recently initiated efforts to collect the judgment prior to the Supreme Court’s decision in the case. As a result, we paid approximately $3.1 million and posted security of approximately $1.33 million to suspend those collection efforts and to enter into a formal negotiations process with the customs authority. We have recorded a reserve in the amount of the posted security. If we are ultimately required to pay a fine or judgment related to this matter, the resulting loss could be up to $13.3 million in excess of amounts accrued.

In 2011, the Court of Ouargla entered a judgment of approximately $34.8 million (at current exchange rates) against us relating to alleged violations of Algeria’s foreign currency exchange controls, which require that goods and services provided locally be invoiced and paid in local currency. The case relates to certain foreign currency payments made to us by CEPSA, a Spanish operator, for wells drilled in 2006. Approximately $7.5 million of the total contract amount was paid offshore in foreign currency, and approximately $3.2 million was paid in local currency. The judgment includes fines and penalties of approximately four times the amount at issue. We have appealed the ruling based on our understanding that the law in question applies only to resident entities incorporated under Algerian law. An intermediate court of appeals has upheld the lower court’s ruling, and we have appealed the matter to the Algeria Supreme Court. While our payments were consistent with our historical operations in the country, and, we believe, those of other multinational corporations there, as well as interpretations of the law by the Central Bank of Algeria, the ultimate resolution of this matter could result in a loss of up to $26.8 million in excess of amounts accrued.

In 2012, Nabors Global Holdings II Limited (“NGH2L”) signed a contract with ERG Resources, LLC (“ERG”) relating to the sale of all of the Class A shares of NGH2L’s wholly owned subsidiary, Ramshorn International Limited, an oil and gas exploration company. When ERG failed to meet its closing obligations, NGH2L terminated the transaction on March 19, 2012 and, as contemplated in the agreement, retained ERG’s $3.0 million escrow deposit. ERG filed suit the following day in the 61st Judicial District Court of Harris County, Texas, in a case styled ERG Resources, LLC v. Nabors Global Holdings II Limited, Ramshorn International Limited, and Parex Resources, Inc.; Cause No. 2012-16446, seeking injunctive relief to halt any sale of the shares to a third party, specifically naming as defendant Parex Resources, Inc. (“Parex”). The lawsuit also seeks monetary damages of up to $750.0 million based on an alleged breach of contract by NGH2L and alleged tortious interference with contractual relations by Parex. Nabors successfully defeated ERG’s effort to obtain a temporary restraining order from the Texas court on March 20, 2012. Nabors completed the sale of Ramshorn’s Class A shares to a Parex affiliate in April 2012, which mooted ERG’s application for a temporary injunction. The lawsuit is staid, pending further court actions. ERG retains its causes of action for monetary damages, but Nabors believes the claims are foreclosed by the terms of the agreement and are without factual or legal merit. Although we are vigorously defending the lawsuit, its ultimate outcome cannot be determined at this time.

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 involve agreements and obligations under which we provide financial or performance assurance to third parties. Certain of these agreements 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 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:

Weighted-average number of shares outstanding - diluted	300,981			297,119			300,016			295,644

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 our common shares, because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive and because they are not considered participating securities. The average number of options and warrants that were excluded from diluted earnings (losses) per share that would potentially dilute earnings per share were 5,782,273 and 11,578,175 shares during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 6,817,891 and 12,015,219 shares during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In any period during which the average market price of our common shares exceeds the exercise prices of these stock options and warrants, such stock options and warrants 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.

We have contracts with pipeline companies to pay specified fees based on committed volumes for gas transport and processing. At June 30, 2014, our undiscounted contractual commitments for these contracts approximated $139.2 million and we had liabilities of $63.1 million, $28.8 million of which were classified as current and were included in accrued liabilities. At December 31, 2013, we had liabilities of $113.6 million, $64.4 million of which were classified as current and were included in accrued liabilities. These amounts represent our best estimate of the fair value of the excess capacity of the pipeline commitments calculated using a discounted cash flow model, when considering our disposal plan, current production levels, natural gas prices and expected utilization of the pipeline over the remaining contractual term. Decreases in actual production or natural gas prices could result in future charges related to excess pipeline commitments.

(2) Includes our drilling technology and top drive manufacturing, directional drilling, rig instrumentation and software services. These services represent our other companies that are not aggregated into a reportable operating segment.

(3) Includes earnings (losses), net from unconsolidated affiliates, accounted for using the equity method, of $(0.8) million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and $(3.3) million and $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(4) Includes earnings (losses), net from unconsolidated affiliates, accounted for using the equity method, of $0.2 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and $0.3 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

(5) Represents the elimination of inter-segment transactions and unallocated corporate expenses and assets.

(6) Adjusted income (loss) derived from operating activities is computed by subtracting the sum of direct costs, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization from the sum of Operating revenues and Earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates. These amounts should not be used as a substitute for the amounts reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management evaluates the performance of our business units and the consolidated company based on several criteria, including adjusted income (loss) derived from operating activities, because it believes that these financial measures accurately reflect our ongoing profitability. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, which is a GAAP measure, is provided in the above table.

(7) Includes $51.3 million and $56.9 million of investments in unconsolidated affiliates accounted for using the equity method as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

(8) Reflects assets allocated to the line of business necessary to conduct its operations. Further allocation to individual operating segments of Completion & Production Services is not available.

(9) Includes $9.2 million and $7.4 million of investments in unconsolidated affiliates accounted for using the equity method as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Note 15 Subsequent Events

On July 31, 2014, we sold our oil and gas properties located on the North Slope of Alaska. Under the terms of the agreement, we received $35 million at closing and expect to receive additional payments of $27 million upon the properties achieving certain production targets in subsequent years. In addition, we will retain a working interest at various interests and an overriding royalty interest in the properties at various interests. The working interest is fully carried up to $600 million of total project costs. The transaction generally remains subject to approval of local Alaska regulatory authorities, among other usual and customary conditions.

On July 24, 2014, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.06 per share to the holders of record of our common shares as of September 9, 2014 to be paid on September 30, 2014.

On July 30, 2014, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Nabors Red Lion Limited (“Red Lion”), along with C&J Energy Services, Inc. (“CJES”), and the members of the board of directors of CJES, including its management directors, were sued in a putative shareholder class action by the stockholders of CJES. The case is styled City of Miami General Employees’ and Sanitation Employees’ Retirement Trust, et al. v. C&J Energy Services, Inc., et al.; C.A. No. 9980; In the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The complaint alleges that the CJES directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the transaction between CJES, Nabors and Red Lion, and that Nabors and Red Lion aided and abetted these alleged violations. The complaint seeks injunctive relief, including an injunction against the consummation of the transactions, together with attorney’s fees and costs. We believe that the case is without merit and intend to vigorously defend it.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

of Nabors Industries Ltd.:

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Nabors Industries Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013 and the consolidated statements of cash flows and of changes in equity for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013. This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss) and comprehensive income (loss), changes in equity and of cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein), and in our report dated March 3, 2014, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet information as of December 31, 2013, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

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 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:

· fluctuations 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;

· the existence of competitors, technological changes and developments in the oilfield services industry;

· the existence of operating risks inherent in the oilfield services industry;

· the possibility of changes in tax and other laws and regulations;

· the possibility of political instability, war or acts of terrorism; and

· general economic conditions including the capital and credit markets.

The above description of risks and uncertainties is not all-inclusive, but highlights certain factors that we believe are important for your consideration. For a more detailed description of risk factors, please refer to Part I, Item 1A. — Risk Factors in our 2013 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 consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto.

Drilling & Rig Services

Completion & Production Services

This business line is comprised of our operations involved in the completion, life-of-well maintenance and eventual plugging and abandonment of a well. These product lines include stimulation, coiled-tubing, cementing, wireline, workover, well-servicing and fluids management.

In June 2014, we signed a definitive agreement to merge our completion and production services businesses with C&J Energy Services, Inc. (NYSE: CJES), an independent oilfield services and manufacturing company. Following the completion of this transaction, we will own approximately 53 percent of the combined company. We believe this combination will allow us to better concentrate our resources on bolstering our position as a preeminent global drilling company, while retaining a significant ongoing economic interest in the combined completion and production business.

Our businesses depend, to a large degree, on the level of spending by oil and gas companies for exploration, development and production activities. A sustained increase or decrease in the price of oil or natural gas could materially impact exploration, development and production activities of our customers and, consequently, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Our customers’ spending is determined principally by their internally generated cash flow and to a lesser extent by joint venture arrangements and funding from the capital markets. In our Drilling & Rig Services business line, operations have traditionally been driven by natural gas prices, but the majority of current activity is driven by the price of oil and to a lesser extent natural gas liquids from unconventional reservoirs (shales). Activity in our international markets is increasingly driven by the development of natural gas reserves. In our Completion & Production Services business line, operations are primarily driven by oil prices.

The following table sets forth oil and natural gas price data per Bloomberg for the 12-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

	Year Ended June 30,
	2014		2013		Increase/(Decrease)
	(In dollars, except percentages)
Average Henry Hub natural gas spot price ($/thousand cubic feet)	$	4.48	$	3.83	$	0.65	17	%
Average West Texas intermediate crude oil spot price ($/barrel)	$	101.30	$	95.79	$	5.51	6	%

Operating revenues and Earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates for the three months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $1.6 billion, representing an increase of $157.1 million, or 11%, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, and $3.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014, representing an increase of $205.9 million, or 7%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Adjusted income derived from operating activities and net income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $133.5 million and $65.7 million ($0.21 per diluted share), respectively, representing increases of 49% and 134%, as compared to the corresponding 2013 period. Adjusted income derived from operating activities and income (loss) from continuing operations, net of tax, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 totaled $242.5 million and $114.7 million ($0.37 per diluted share), respectively, representing increases of 4% and decrease of 5%, as compared to the corresponding 2013 period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, operating results reflected generally rising crude oil prices. Crude oil prices remain the primary driver of U.S. drilling activity. Our customers’ financial results are benefitting from these higher prices, resulting, we believe, in increased drilling activity and related well-completion activity. Continued resilient crude oil prices could lead to increased domestic drilling activity for the balance of 2014. Although prices of natural gas and natural gas liquids in the U.S. have increased since early 2012, they remain at levels that negatively impact gas-directed drilling activity and we believe they would have to increase further in order for our customers to increase their gas-directed drilling activity significantly.

Our international markets have begun to respond to improving oil prices during the last two years. Several of our international markets have also begun to experience an increase in demand for drilling driven by increasing natural gas prices. Beginning in 2013, we signed agreements for several new and significantly upgraded drilling rigs, for both oil- and gas-directed drilling. We plan to deploy those rigs during 2014, and the combination of these deployments and day rate increases commencing in 2014 should improve international results beginning in the second half of 2014 and into 2015.

U.S.

Our U.S. drilling segment includes land drilling activities in the lower 48 states, Alaska and offshore operations in the Gulf of Mexico.

Operating results increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding 2013 periods primarily as a result of an increase in drilling activity in the lower 48 states. During the quarter we deployed four newbuild AC rigs and deployed four net existing rigs. Compared to the second quarter of 2013, our average daily revenue per rig in the Lower 48 increased. Over the same time period our daily operating cost per rig also increased, though by less than the revenue increase, resulting in an increase in daily rig margin of $608. The increase was partially offset by decreased drilling activity in offshore operations due to lower utilization of our MODS® rigs and the impact on results from the sale of four offshore rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.

Canada

Operating results decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding 2013 periods primarily due to an unfavorable foreign exchange variance. In addition, revenue was unfavorably impacted by lower average drilling dayrates, partially offset by increased drilling activity. The Canadian dollar weakened approximately 8% against the U.S. dollar year-over-year. This negatively impacted margins, as both revenues and expenses are denominated in Canadian dollars.

International

Operating results increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding 2013 periods primarily as a result of increased rig activity and higher dayrates from existing land rigs and deployments with higher margins in Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Northern Iraq, Algeria and Colombia. Operating results during the current period were also positively impacted by revenues earned in Venezuela and Iraq. These increases were partially offset by downtime associated with a jackup rig in dry dock in Saudi Arabia.

Rig Services

Operating results increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding 2013 periods primarily due to Canrig’s capital equipment unit sales and higher ROCKITTM system sales. Our Ryan Directional Services operations also contributed to these increases from sales of its new aluminum pipe product line. Adjusted income increased primarily due to cost reductions and higher service and rental margins at Canrig.

Completion Services

Revenue increased during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding 2013 period while adjusted income decreased, primarily due to a sharp increase in activity but at reduced prices as the market has experienced downward pricing pressure. Operating results decreased during the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily due to the expiration of five multi-year take-or-pay contracts at favorable rates and reduced customer activity caused in part by severe weather in the Northeast and Rocky Mountain operating areas that reduced customer activity.

Production Services

Operating results for our U.S. operations increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding 2013 periods, primarily due to incremental operating results from our acquisition of a trucking and logistics business during the fourth quarter of 2013. These increases were not impacted by our Canada operations, where the combination of stronger rig hourly rates, and increased rental revenue offset the unfavorable impact of the foreign exchange rate.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased slightly during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding 2013 periods. As a percentage of operating revenues, general and administrative expenses are slightly lower for each period and consistent with the slight increase in operating revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the corresponding 2013 periods.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased slightly during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding 2013 periods, as a result of the incremental depreciation expense related to newly constructed rigs which were placed into service during 2013 and the first half of 2014 in the U.S., and to a lesser extent, rig upgrades and other capital expenditures made during 2013 and 2014 relating to our Drilling & Rig Services business line in our U.S. and international markets.

Interest expense

Interest expense decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding 2013 periods as a result of the redemption of a portion of the principal amount of our 9.25% senior notes in September 2013, partially offset by the September 2013 issuances of our 2.35% and 5.10% senior notes. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, average interest rates were lower on our outstanding senior notes, revolving credit facility and commercial paper balances as compared to the corresponding 2013 periods.

Investment income

Investment income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 included realized gains of $5.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively, related to the sale of some of our available-for-sale securities and $2.0 million and $3.0 million, respectively, were attributable to interest and dividend income.

Investment income for the three months ended June 30, 2013 included realized gains of $12.5 million related to the sale of some of our available-for-sale debt and equity securities and $2.3 million attributable to interest and dividend income.

Investment income for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was comprised primarily of realized gains of $88.7 million related to the sale of some of our available-for-sale debt and equity securities. The balance was attributable to interest, dividend income or unrealized gains on the remaining portfolio of investments.

Gains (losses) on sales and disposals of long-lived assets and other income (expense), net

The amount of gains (losses) on sales and disposals of long-lived assets and other income (expense), net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were net losses of $16.5 million and $18.0 million, respectively, which included net losses on sales and disposals of assets of approximately $11.1 million and $13.5 million, respectively, foreign currency exchange losses of approximately $4.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively and increases to our litigation reserves of $0.6 million and $3.6 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

The amount of gains (losses) on sales and disposals of long-lived assets and other income (expense), net for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was a net loss of $9.2 million, which was primarily comprised of foreign currency exchange losses of approximately $3.0 million and net losses on sales and disposals of assets of approximately $1.9 million.

The amount of gains (losses) on sales and disposals of long-lived assets and other income (expense), net for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was a net loss of $69.0 million, which included a one-time stock grant valued at $27.0 million, which vested immediately and $18.0 million in cash awarded and paid to Mr. Petrello in connection with the termination of his prior employment agreement. In addition, there were increases to our litigation reserves of $5.7 million, foreign currency exchange losses of approximately $7.3 million and net losses on sales and disposals of assets of approximately $5.3 million

Income tax rate

	Three Months Ended June 30,								Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013		Increase/(Decrease)				2014		2013		Increase/(Decrease)

Effective income tax rate from continuing operations	13.8	%	17.3	%	(3.5	)%	(20.2	)%	17.5	%	11.5	%	6.0	%	52.2	%

The changes in our effective tax rate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding 2013 periods reflect the proportion of income generated in the United States versus other countries where we operate. Income generated in the United States is generally taxed at a higher rate than other jurisdictions.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous other jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. One of the most volatile factors in this determination is the relative proportion of our income or loss being recognized in high- versus low-tax jurisdictions. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. We are regularly audited by tax authorities. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final outcome of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different than what is reflected in our income tax provisions and accruals. The results of an audit or litigation could materially affect our financial position, income tax provision, net income, or cash flows.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

Certain sources and uses of cash, such as the level of discretionary capital expenditures or acquisitions, purchases and sales of investments, as well as 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 six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 below.

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $846.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $665.4 million during the corresponding 2013 period. Operating cash flows are our primary source of capital and liquidity. Factors affecting changes in operating cash flows are largely the same as those that impact net earnings, with the exception of non-cash expenses such as depreciation and amortization, depletion, impairments, share-based compensation, deferred income taxes and our proportionate share of earnings or losses from unconsolidated affiliates. Net income (loss) adjusted for non-cash components was approximately $721.5 million and $633.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Additionally, changes in working capital items such as collection of receivables, deferred revenue arrangements, and payments of operating payables can be significant factors affecting operating cash flows. Changes in working capital items contributed $124.5 million and $32.0 million in cash during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Investing Activities. Net cash used for investing activities totaled $782.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $342.1 million during the corresponding 2013 period. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we received $69.3 million from the sale of assets. This was primarily from the sale of non-core assets in a continuation of our efforts to monetize non-core assets and focus on our core business. Our primary use of cash for investing activities is for capital expenditures related to rig-related enhancements, new construction and equipment, as well as sustaining capital expenditures. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we used cash for capital expenditures totaling $862.7 million and $500.4 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we paid $37.5 million cash to purchase the business of Navigate Energy Services, Inc., and we sold our trading equity securities and some of our available-for-sale equity securities, providing $163.2 million in cash.

Financing Activities. Net cash used for financing activities totaled $35.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $333.4 million during the corresponding 2013 period. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we issued $111.2 million in commercial paper and repaid $60.0 million on amounts borrowed under our revolving credit facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 we used $70.9 million for the redemption of Series A Preferred Stock of a subsidiary. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we issued $295.0 million in commercial paper and repaid $590.0 million on amounts borrowed under our revolving credit facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we paid cash dividends to shareholders totaling $23.8 million and $23.6 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

Future Cash Requirements

We expect capital expenditures over the next 12 months to approximate $2.0 billion. Purchase commitments outstanding at June 30, 2014 totaled approximately $953.8 million, primarily for rig-related enhancements, new construction and equipment, as well as sustaining capital expenditures, other operating expenses and purchases of inventory. This amount could change significantly based on market conditions and new business opportunities. 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. These programs will result in an expansion in the number of land drilling rigs, upgrades to our offshore rigs, completion and production services equipment and well-servicing equipment, and additions to the technology assets that we own and operate. We can reduce the planned expenditures if necessary or increase them if market conditions and new business opportunities warrant it.

We have historically completed a number of acquisitions and will continue to evaluate opportunities to acquire assets or businesses to enhance our operations. Several of our previous acquisitions were funded through issuances of debt or our common shares. Future acquisitions may be funded using existing cash or by issuing debt or additional shares of our stock. Such capital expenditures and acquisitions will depend on our view of market conditions and other factors.

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 significant changes to our contractual cash obligations table that was included in our 2013 Annual Report.

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. The amounts involved may be material.

Financial Condition and Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and investments, availability under our revolving credit facility and commercial paper program and cash generated from operations. As of June 30, 2014, we had cash and short-term investments of $486.3 million and working capital of $1.5 billion. As of December 31, 2013, we had cash and short-term investments of $507.1 million and working capital of $1.4 billion. At June 30, 2014, we had $0.9 billion of availability remaining under our $1.5 billion revolving credit facility and commercial paper program.

Upon closing of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement with C&J Energy Services, Inc., we anticipate receiving approximately $0.9 billion in cash proceeds from debt issued by the combined company. We expect to use these cash proceeds to pay down our short term borrowings, to fund ongoing capital expansion of our fleet of new and upgraded drilling rigs and for other general working capital purposes.

We had 11 letter-of-credit facilities with various banks as of June 30, 2014. Availability under these facilities as of June 30, 2014 was as follows:

	(In thousands)
Credit available	$	573,203
Less: Letters of credit outstanding, inclusive of financial and performance guarantees	331,928
Remaining availability	$	241,275

Our ability to access capital markets or to otherwise obtain sufficient financing is enhanced 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 exchange or purchase of our notes 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. A ratings downgrade could adversely 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.

Our gross debt to capital ratio was 0.39:1 as of June 30, 2014 and 0.40:1 as of December 31, 2013. Our net debt to capital ratio was 0.36:1 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The gross debt to capital ratio is calculated by dividing (x) total debt by (y) total capital. Total capital is defined as total debt plus shareholders’ equity. Net debt is total debt minus the sum of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. Neither the gross debt to capital ratio nor the net debt to capital ratio is a measure of operating performance or liquidity defined by GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Table of Contents

Our interest coverage ratio was 8.7:1 as of June 30, 2014 and 7.4:1 as of December 31, 2013. The interest coverage ratio is a trailing 12-month quotient of the sum of (x) operating revenues and earnings (losses) from unconsolidated affiliates, direct costs and general administrative expenses divided by (y) interest expense. The interest coverage ratio is not a measure of operating performance or liquidity defined by GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Our current cash and investments, projected cash flows from operations, possible dispositions of non-core assets, revolving credit facility and commercial paper program are expected to adequately finance our purchase commitments, capital expenditures, acquisitions, scheduled debt service requirements, and all other expected cash requirements for the next 12 months.

Other Matters

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the FASB issued an ASU relating to the accounting for share-based payments when the terms of an award provide that a performance target could be achieved after the requisite service period. The core principle will require the reporting entity to apply existing guidance in Topic 718 relating to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. As such, the performance target should not be reflected in estimating the grant-date fair value of the award. Compensation cost should be recognized in the period in which it becomes probable that the performance target will be achieved and should represent the compensation cost attributable to the period(s) for which the requisite service has already been rendered. These changes are effective for interim and annual periods that begin after December 15, 2015. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this will have on our consolidated financial statements.

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 involve agreements and obligations under which we provide financial or performance assurance to third parties. Certain of these agreements 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.

The following table summarizes the total maximum amount of financial guarantees issued by Nabors:

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 2013 Annual Report.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a) Disclosure 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. 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 Chairman, President and 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 Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in recording, processing, summarizing and reporting, on a timely basis, information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act and are effective, at the reasonable assurance level, in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There have not been any changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) during the most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
