EMGS reports third quarter 2013 results
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Electromagnetic Geoservices ASA's (EMGS) reported revenues of USD 23.6 million
in the third quarter 2013, down from USD 44.4 million in the previous quarter
and from USD 43.2 million in the third quarter last year. Contract sales
totalled USD 21.5 million, while multi-client sales came in at USD 2.1 million
this quarter. The reduction in revenues compared to last year is mainly
explained by the steaming of the BOA Galatea to Mexico and the EM Leader to
Angola, as well as the higher amount of time spent on multi-client work this
quarter.
The Company had an EBITDA loss of USD 3.5 million and reported a net loss of USD
12.2 million.
"During this quarter we completed our current investment program in the multi-
client libraries in Brazil and the Barents Sea. Although we believe these are
good investments for the future, we are disappointed with the multi-client sales
in the third quarter. For the next two quarters we see good contract coverage,
as well as late sales from recent investments," says CEO of EMGS, Roar Bekker.
During - and after the end of the quarter, the Company has secured a new
contract with Maersk Oil Angola, a second contract for Nippon in Malaysia and a
Letter of Intent for north-west Australia. The Company has also started to
operate on the USD 99.8 million contract with PEMEX and recently agreed to add a
second vessel to the contract.
The Company's full year 2013 revenue guidance remains dependant on closing of
multi-client late sales in the fourth quarter. The Company expects to
have approximately USD 50 million in contract revenues for the fourth quarter,
in addition to multi-client late sales closed in the quarter. The Company
experiences increased uncertainty related to the timing of the multi-client
sales.
Going into the 2014, the Company's contract coverage is improved, the price
level remains attractive and the product portfolio is expanded. Also, customer's
exploration achievements, in particular in Mexico and the Barents Sea, further
confirm the technology's value proposition and contribute to increased market
awareness.
EMGS's long-term outlook is positive and the Company reiterates its strategy to
achieve industry-wide integration of EM into the exploration workflow.
