Segment figures presented before IFRS 15 and Non-Recurring Charges (NRC)

PARIS, France – August 2nd 2018 – CGG (ISIN: FR0013181864 – NYSE: CGG), world leader in Geoscience, announced today its 2018 second quarter unaudited results.

Commenting on these results, Sophie Zurquiyah, CGG CEO, said:

“The second quarter results were in line with our expectations with a stable EBITDAs margin year-over-year. SIR performed well and Multi-Client after-sales were particularly high with significant contribution from the North Sea. Prefunding was low, primarily as a result of regulatory delays. Equipment saw strong volume increase and returned to breakeven. Contractual Data Acquisition activities were still under pressure with continued low prices.

Priority is to focus on cash generation, and specifically this quarter cash consumption was limited due to rigorous management of working capital.

In the context of a gradual market improvement, while clients maintain a cautious approach to spending, we remain on track to meet our targets for 2018.”

Post-closing events

 

   

Geowave Voyager

SeaBird Exploration Plc announced on July 11, 2018 that it was in an exclusive process to acquire our seismic vessel Geowave Voyager and certain seismic equipment for cash consideration of US$17 million. The transfer of ownership of the Vessel and closing of the transaction is expected to be finalized by October 2018. As of June 30, 2018, the classification of the Geowave Voyager as an asset held for sale is unchanged.

 

   

Convertible bondholder’s appeal

On July 17, 2018, certain holders of CGG’s convertible bonds filed a recourse before the French Supreme Court (Cour de cassation) against the ruling rendered on May 17, 2018 by the Appeals Court of Paris rejecting a claim by a group of Convertible Bondholders against the ruling of the Commercial Court of Paris sanctioning the safeguard plan on December 1, 2017.

Transitory application of IFRS 15

Discussions between CGG, its auditors and the regulators are still on going. CGG continues advocating for the IFRS 15 compliance of revenue recognition policy based on the two distinct performance obligations contained in these contracts.

In the absence of a finalized IFRS 15 accounting policy, prior to the Group’s second quarter 2018 results, CGG decided to continue presenting a dual approach:

 

(i)

one set of figures (the “IFRS” figures) in line with the accounting practice adopted by some other seismic players, with pre-commitment revenue recognized in full only upon delivery of the final data, and

 

(ii)

a second set of figures (the “Segment Figures”) corresponding to the figures used for internal management reporting purposes and produced in accordance with the Group’s historical method (percentage of completion for multi-clients pre-commitments).

The Company aims to fix a definitive approach with its auditors and the regulators ideally prior to the release of Q3 2018 financial statements and at the latest for the 2018 annual report.

Subsurface Imaging & Reservoir revenue was $93 million, up 5% year-on-year, with a sustained demand for reprocessing and increasing nodes processing. Activity was driven by client reservoir/ production imaging and services. Geographically, market is improving particularly in US Gulf of Mexico and in Asia.

GGR segment EBITDAs was $117 million, a 58% margin.

GGR segment operating income was $64 million, a 32% margin. The multi-client depreciation rate was limited at 36% due to a higher mix of fully depreciated sales, leading to a library Net Book Value of $870 million at the end of June 2018, split 91% offshore and 9% onshore.

Land equipment sales represented 49% of total sales, stable compared to last year, driven in particular by channels deliveries notably in North Africa. The well gauges demand is also accelerating, on the back of unconventional market activity.

Marine equipment sales represented 51% of total sales, stable compared to last year, driven notably by one-off deliveries of Sentinel sections.

Equipment segment EBITDAs was $9 million, a margin of 10%.

Equipment segment operating income was $1 million, a margin of 1%. Higher volumes were the key driver to reaching the breakeven point.

Equipment capital employed was stable at $0.6 billion at the end of June 2018.

Marine Contractual Data Acquisition revenue was $40 million, down 35% year-on-year.

The year-on-year revenue decrease is explained by the different contract mix this year, while a large contract with high-end multi-source vessel setup was executed in Q2 2017. Two vessels were active in West Africa, one in North Sea and the Endeavour, as previously announced, was returned to her owner at the end of July.

 

   

Land and Multi-Physics Data Acquisition revenue was $27 million, up 30% year-on-year. The activity was good for Land in North Africa with three crews in operation. Improving activity for Multi-Physics is driven by the mining industry.

Contractual Data Acquisition segment EBITDAs was $2 million.

Contractual Data Acquisition segment operating income was $(7) million, including $14 million related to a provision reversal. Contractual Data Acquisition activities continued to experience a competitive market environment.

The equity from investments contribution can mainly be explained by the positive contribution from the ARGAS and SBGS JVs this quarter.

Contractual Data Acquisition capital employed was stable at $0.3 billion at the end of June 2018.

Non-Operated Resources segment EBITDAs was $(5) million, including the remaining part of the Caribbean restart costs.

Non-Operated Resources segment operating income was $(6) million.

The equity from investments includes the impact of the Global Seismic Shipping (GSS) JV, a 50/50 JV with Eidesvik. Seven vessels were transferred to GSS in Q2 2017 and three are still cold-stacked.

Non-Operated Resources capital employed was stable at $0.1 billion at the end of June 2018.

As a result of the February 21, 2018 CGG SA capital increase via an offering of preferential subscription rights to existing shareholders, the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for 2017 has been adjusted retrospectively. The number of ordinary shares outstanding has been adjusted to reflect the proportionate change in the number of shares.

(5)

As our 2017 net result was a loss, stock options and performance shares plans had an anti-dilutive effect; as a consequence, potential shares linked to those instruments were not taken into account in the diluted weighted average number of shares or in the calculation of diluted loss per share.
