Comments

Commenting on the results, PGS CEO, Jon Erik Reinhardsen, said: "Our second quarter was impacted by lower MultiClient revenues than expected, due to lack of pre-funding from the Triton MultiClient survey in the Gulf of Mexico. MultiClient revenues from other projects of the library remained healthy. Mobilisation delays on certain Marine Contract surveys impacted the contract margin negatively. The projects have performed well after start-up.

“We strongly believe in the technical and commercial success of the Triton survey in the Gulf of Mexico, which has historically been one of the most attractive areas for MultiClient investments. A fast track imaging product from key areas of the Triton survey is now available and we expect to secure pre-funding for the survey in H2.

“Less predictable customer spending and current low bidding activity indicate risk of a weaker market towards the end of the year. Accordingly, we have lowered our full year EBITDA guidance to approximately US$ 850 million.

“Our strategy remains firm with focus on productivity leadership, technology differentiation and shareholder return."
