TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES COST REDUCTIONS </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Houston, Texas &#150; December&nbsp;14, 2017 &#150; Geospace Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ Global: GEOS)
today announced a program to reduce its operating costs in light of expected and continuing low levels of seismic product demand. A substantial portion of these cost reduction activities will be concluded by December&nbsp;31, 2017 although some
activities will occur over the course of fiscal year 2018. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The program is expected to produce approximately $6&nbsp;million of annualized cash savings. A
majority of these savings will be realized through a reduction of over 60 employees from the Company&#146;s Houston-area workforce. In connection with the workforce reduction, the Company expects to incur $0.7&nbsp;million of termination costs in
its first fiscal quarter ending December&nbsp;31, 2017. Additional cost savings will be realized through a facility consolidation and compensation reductions, including reductions impacting the Company&#146;s executive officers and directors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Walter R. (&#147;Rick&#148;) Wheeler, President and CEO of Geospace Technologies said, &#147;Considering the current low level of demand for our seismic
exploration products in conjunction with recent news that we would not participate in a specific permanent reservoir monitoring project tender, we are implementing cost reduction plans to further preserve our financial strength. Most of the cost
savings are associated with a reduction in our workforce. Although this was a very difficult decision to make, we believe our core competencies in engineering and manufacturing are fully retained and that we will be able to react quickly and
appropriately in an improved market to regain any lost capacity. Through longstanding conservative management of our business during cyclical swings and commercial challenges, we have maintained a balance sheet that is highlighted by significant
liquidity and no debt. We believe the steps that we are currently undertaking are commensurate with this strategy and optimize our position in a recovering industry. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Geospace Technologies Corporation designs and manufactures instruments and equipment used by the oil and gas industry to acquire seismic data in order to
locate, characterize and monitor hydrocarbon producing reservoirs. The company also designs and manufactures <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-seismic</FONT> products, including industrial products, offshore cables, thermal printing equipment and
film. </P>

they are based on certain assumptions about our industry and our business that may in the future prove to be inaccurate. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations include the level of seismic
exploration worldwide, which is influenced primarily by prevailing prices for oil and gas, the extent to which our new products are accepted in the market, the availability of competitive products that may be more technologically advanced or
otherwise preferable to our products, obsolescence of inventory, negative reactions to the restatement of our financial statements, tensions in the Middle East and other factors disclosed under the heading &#147;Risk Factors&#148; and elsewhere in
our most recent Annual Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-K</FONT> and Quarterly Report on Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">10-Q,</FONT> which are on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Further, all written and
