Based on preliminary reporting from operating units, management of TGS expects
IFRS revenues to be approximately USD 332 million in Q2 2025, compared to USD
224 million in Q2 2024 (USD 353 million proforma? in Q2 2024).
Produced revenues³ are expected to be approximately USD 306 million in Q2 2025,
compared to USD 215 million in Q2 2024 (USD 381 million proforma? in Q2 2024).
Produced multi-client revenues are estimated to be approximately USD 135 million
in Q2 2025, compared to USD 115 million in Q2 2024 (USD 194 million proforma? in
Q2 2024). Multi-client investment is expected to be approximately USD 120
million in Q2 2025, compared to USD 52 million in Q2 2024 (USD 92 million
proforma? in Q2 2024).
Contract revenues amounted to approximately USD 171 million in Q2 2025, compared
to USD 100 million in Q2 2024 (USD 187 million proforma? in Q2 2024).
Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS commented: "After several strong quarters, Q2 came
in below expectations mainly due to three main factors. First, the end-of-
quarter data licensing came in below internal forecasts, with several data
licensing deals being postponed. Second, we encountered challenging operational
conditions and stand-by time on one of our streamer projects, negatively
impacting revenue recognition. Third, lower-than-expected JV-partner
participation on certain multi-client projects resulted in recognition of higher
multi-client investments and lower contract revenues. Discussions with our
clients support our view that exploration activity will gradually increase from
today's levels. The successful offshore licensing round in Brazil and the recent
announcement of a lease sale in the US Gulf of America are both positive drivers
in facilitating more seismic activity in two of our key markets."
TGS will release its Q2 2025 results at 07:00 a.m. CEST on 17 July 2025. CEO
Kristian Johansen and CFO Sven Børre Larsen will present the results at 09:00
a.m. CEST, webcasted live.

³For the purpose of Produced revenues, multi-client revenues committed prior to
completion of projects are recognized on a percentage of completion basis. This
differs from IFRS reporting, where revenues committed prior to completion are
recognized when the customers receive access to the finished data.
Adjustments between preliminary IFRS and Produced revenue numbers for Q2 2025:
Preliminary reported IFRS revenue: USD 332 million
- Revenue recognized from performance obligations met during Q2 for completed
projects: USD 95 million
+ Revenue recognized under Produced during Q2: USD 69 million
= Preliminary reported Produced revenue: USD 306 million
?Proforma considers TGS acquisition of PGS, which was completed 1 July 2024.
