TGS Awarded Offshore Wind Site Characterization Contract
The Ramform Vanguard will be used for this project and is equipped with Ultra-high-resolution 3D (UHR-3D) streamers. The streamer technology samples the seismic wavefield at a high spatial and temporal rate providing high-resolution data of the shallow subsurface targets for wind farm development.
Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS, commented, "We are very pleased to secure more offshore wind site characterization contracts, extending our success in this market during 2024. This project further highlights the integral role UHR-3D acquisition has in providing our clients with better seismic data and helping them make data-driven decisions for their wind farm developments.'

Release Date: July 17, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points TGS ASA (TGSGY) reported an improved EBITDA margin of 50% in Q2 2025, up from 46% in the same quarter last year. The company maintained a positive free cash flow of $11 million before dividends. TGS ASA (TGSGY) is continuing business optimization efforts, resulting in lower costs and a reduction in vessel capacity from 7 to 6 vessels. The imaging and technology division had a strong quarter, with gross imaging revenues increasing from $25 million to $32 million year-over-year. The company is maintaining a stable dividend of $0.155 per share, consistent with previous quarters. Negative Points TGS ASA (TGSGY) experienced a decline in total revenues to $308 million, down from $381 million in Q2 of the previous year. Multi-client revenues were below expectations due to low library sales, impacted by a volatile macro environment and a drop in oil prices. Contract revenues were negatively affected by operational challenges in Asia and lower contributions from JV partners. The company reported a negative EBIT of $22 million for the quarter, compared to a positive $8 million in the same quarter last year. Order backlog decreased from $600 million to $425 million, raising concerns about future revenue visibility. Q & A Highlights Q: Can you elaborate on the timing of the vessel sale and the stacking of the Vanguard? A: The sale of the vessels will occur over the next few weeks, with contracts nearly finalized. The Vanguard will be taken out of service after the summer season in Europe. - Kristian Johansen, CEO Q: You are above your net interest-bearing debt target. How does that affect your dividend strategy? A: Our intention is to maintain the current dividend level until we reach our debt target. The weak Q2 results may delay this timeline, but our goal remains unchanged. - Sven Larsen, CFO Q: What's driving the demand decline in the OBN market, and how is it related to oil and gas production? A: The current weakness is more about timing than a permanent market issue. Some projects, like those in Brazil, have been delayed to 2026. We expect demand to grow as OBN costs decrease, making exploration projects more competitive. - Kristian Johansen, CEO Q: Who are you selling the Ramform Explorer and Valiant to, and can you indicate the price? A: We can't disclose the buyer, but the vessels will be used outside the seismic market. The sale price is in the low single-digit millions, aimed at balancing market supply and demand rather than strengthening our balance sheet. - Kristian Johansen, CEO Q: Can you provide an update on the synergy effects of the $110 million to $130 million target? A: We are close to achieving this range, with some integration tasks like systems and software alignment still in progress. Full alignment on ERP systems and HPC in the cloud will take more time. - Sven Larsen, CFO Q: Is it natural to expect a jump in Q3 late sales due to the US Gulf licensing round, and what about transfer fees in the second half? A: While we can't promise higher late sales, there are potential transfer fees, including a sizable one related to the Chevron Hess transaction, which could occur in the second half. - Kristian Johansen, CEO Q: Will you reduce the number of OBN crews, currently at four? A: Not necessarily. We aim to increase efficiency by using source and ROV vessels across multiple projects and exploring new vessel types with fewer human resources. - Kristian Johansen, CEO Q: Regarding partners withdrawing from multi-client JV projects, was it your decision to continue, and what are the expected returns? A: TGS has a history of investing countercyclically. We continue projects in proven successful areas like Brazil and the Gulf of America, expecting similar returns with a sales-to-investment target of 2 times. - Kristian Johansen, CEO For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

TGS announces Q2 2025 results
Financial highlights: Multi-client revenues impacted by several library data purchases being postponed and low client commitment to ongoing projects Challenging operational conditions for a large contract project and lower than expected JV partner participation for certain multi-client programs negatively affected contract revenues Order inflow of USD 133 million during Q2 2025 – total order backlog of USD 425 million Net cash flow of USD 11 million in Q2 2025, compared to USD -13 million in Q2 2024 Maintaining a stable dividend payment of USD 0.155 per share to be paid in Q3 2025 Gross operating costs for 2025 expected to be approximately USD 950 million compared to previous guidance of approximately USD 1,000 million – reduction driven by further efficiency gains and vessel scheduling 'The Q2 2025 results were negatively impacted by several factors. End-of-quarter data licensing came in below expectations, with several data licensing deals being postponed. Further, we encountered challenging operational conditions on one of our streamer projects, negatively impacting revenue recognition. Finally, lower-than-expected partner participation in certain multi-client projects resulted in lower recognition of contract revenues and higher multi-client investments. The guidance for gross operating expenses has been reduced further, as we continue to review our cost base and optimize asset allocation. We are in the process of selling the Ramform Explorer and the Ramform Valiant, and stacking the Ramform Vanguard. Although significant macroeconomic uncertainty and high oil price volatility during Q2 caused our clients to be more cautious in the short term, the long-term need for more exploration remains intact. With falling remaining reserve life, many large E&P companies will face declining production rates unless more reserves are added and brought on stream. As a result, we remain optimistic for the long-term opportunities for TGS,' says Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS Management presentation CEO Kristian Johansen and CFO Sven Børre Larsen will present the results today at 09:00 a.m. CEST.
