Petroleum Geo-Services ASA : Third Quarter 2011 Results
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
MultiClient Drives Performance
Healthy Cash Flow From Operations
Highlights Q3 2011
* Revenues of $339.9 million, up 15% from Q3 10
* EBITDA of $153.2 million, up 12% from Q3 2010
* Contract revenues of $164.9 million with a corresponding contract EBIT
margin of 4%
* Offset by strong MultiClient revenues of $144.2 million, up 38% from Q3
2010, driven by high GeoStreamer allocation
* Net cash flow from operating activities of $149.6 million, up 127% from Q3
2010
* External Data Processing revenues of $27.5 million
* Order book of $501 million, up 2% from Q3 2010
* EPS impacted by foreign exchange movements causing non cash financial and
tax charges
* Full year 2011 EBITDA expectation increased to approximately $525 million
"Customer interest for the Gulf of Mexico has been strong in the quarter driven
by oil companies positioning themselves to explore the region further. In
particular the upcoming lease sale in Western Gulf of Mexico has triggered the
strong MultiClient late sales we have delivered. Late sales were also good in
other regions. Our MultiClient GeoStreamer campaigns in the North Sea continued
the trend of the second quarter, generating very good pre-funding revenues.
Marine Contract EBIT margin was impacted by less GeoStreamer capacity being
allocated to contract activity, increased project costs and productivity
variances. These factors have lead us to revise our expectation of full year
Marine Contract EBIT margin to approximately 10%. For the general market we see
flat prices. Bidding for the 2012 North Sea season has started, but it is too
early to see any directional change in rates. Given our performance year to date
and the continued strength of our MultiClient activities, we have increased our
expectation for full year 2011 EBITDA to approximately $525 million."

President and Chief Executive Officer
