    Grant Hynes's questions to NABORS INDUSTRIES (NBR) leadership

    Grant Hynes's questions to NABORS INDUSTRIES (NBR) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    Grant Hynes of JPMorgan Chase & Co. inquired about the growth prospects for the SANAD joint venture's newbuild rigs beyond 2027 and the potential for redeploying legacy rigs to other Middle Eastern regions. He also requested a reconciliation for the unchanged full-year free cash flow guidance despite a significant reduction in planned capital expenditures.

    Answer

    CEO Anthony Petrello explained that the SANAD fleet is high-specification and well-suited for deployment throughout the region, though some incremental capital might be needed. CFO William Restrepo clarified the free cash flow guidance, stating that a ~$70 million gross CapEx reduction results in a ~$50 million net cash improvement. This is offset by a ~$40 million reduction in the EBITDA forecast due to market softness in the U.S. Lower 48, delays in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, and uncertainty in Mexico.
