PARIS, France - July 31st 2015 - CGG (ISIN: 0000120164 - NYSE: CGG), world leader in Geoscience, announced today its non-audited 2015 second quarter results.

Commenting on these results, Jean-Georges Malcor, CGG CEO, said:

"We operated this quarter in a very challenging business environment. Equipment and Data Acquisition revenue were down, notably due to strong pressure on marine pricing. However, GGR is up sequentially, due to strong Multi-Client sales and a high prefunding rate.
The efficient rollout of our Transformation and cost reduction Plan is on schedule. All our activities except for marine Data Acquisition made positive contributions to our operating result this quarter.
While the market remains uncertain, we stay focused on tight cash management with further reductions in our annual Capex spending. The success of our 2019 convertible bond Public Exchange Offer and the renegotiation of our covenants improved our financial flexibility and also helped to strengthen our balance sheet.
With our operating performance, the mobilization of our teams around the world, the first positive results of our Transformation Plan and the rebalancing of our portfolio of activities, we have improved our ability to weather the current difficult market conditions the industry is facing."

Equipment division Total Revenue was $107 million, down 46% compared to the second quarter of 2014 and 15% sequentially. Marine equipment sales are impacted by a low level of deliveries linked to a difficult marine market. Land sales benefited from partial deliveries to our Middle East clients.
During the second quarter, marine equipment sales represented 24% of total sales, compared to 43% in the first quarter of 2015. Internal sales represent only 9% of total sales, stable sequentially at a low level. External sales were $97 million, down 15% compared to the first quarter of 2015.

Equipment division EBITDAs was $17 million, a margin of 15.9%.

Equipment division Operating Income was $7 million, a margin of 6.3% thanks to strong and continuing cost reduction measures.

Equipment division Capital Employed was $0.7 billion at the end of June 2015.

Data Acquisition division Total Revenue was $223 million, down 54% year-on-year and 24% sequentially. External revenue was $119 million, down 51% year-on-year and 45% quarter-on-quarter.

  • Marine Acquisition revenue was $179 million, down 56% year-on-year and 28% sequentially. Two thirds of the sequential decrease in revenue can be explained by the deteriorated market conditions and one third by a low availability rate this quarter. 42% of the fleet was dedicated to multi-client programs compared to 52% in Q2 2014 and 35% in Q1 2015. The vessel availability rate was 74%. This compares to an 84% availability rate in the first quarter of 2015 and a 94% rate in the second quarter of 2014. This low vessel availability rate is the result of a 10% steaming rate to relocate vessels this quarter from APAC to NALA to execute large tenders won recently, a 13% fleet standby rate mainly due to delays in permitting in Latin America, and a 3% yard time rate. Our vessel production rate was at a historic high of 94% compared to a 92% production rate both last year and in the first quarter of 2015.
     
  • Land and Multi-Physics Acquisition revenue was $44 million, down 40% year-on-year and 6% sequentially. The restructuring measures implemented in 2014 and 2015 led to a good financial performance by our Land activity.

Data Acquisition Division EBITDAs was $6 million, a margin of 2.7%.

Data Acquisition Division Operating Income was $(55) million.

Data Acquisition Division EBIT was $(40) million. Positive contribution from Investments in Equity can be mainly explained by the positive contributions from the Seabed Geosolutions and Argas JVs.

Data Acquisition EBIT after NRC includes $(0.6) million of non-recurring items linked to the Transformation Plan.

Data Acquisition division Capital Employed was $1.5 billion at the end of June 2015.

  • Multi-client revenue was $120 million, down 6% year-on-year and up 21% sequentially.
     
    • Prefunding revenue was $83 million, down 10% year-on-year and up 100% sequentially. Multi-client cash capex was at $79 million, down 55% year-on-year and up 11% sequentially. The cash prefunding rate was at 106% versus 58% in Q1 2015 and 53% in Q2 2014. This higher prefunding revenue is due to a good level of sales in the North Sea and West Africa.
    • After-sales revenue was $37 million, up 2% year-on-year and down 36% sequentially.
       
  • Subsurface Imaging & Reservoir revenue was $137 million, down 20% year-on-year and 2% sequentially. Reservoir and Geology revenues, which are traditionally stronger at year-end, were impacted by some delays in Capex spending this quarter.

GGR Division EBITDAs was $138 million, a 53.6% margin.

GGR Division Operating Income was $53 million, a 20.7% margin. This division's resilience was driven by strong multi-client prefunding, a good performance by Subsurface Imaging and Reservoir (SIR) and our cost reduction efforts. The multi-client depreciation rate totalled 60%, leading to a library Net Book Value of $1,014 million at the end of June, split 13% onshore and 87% offshore.

GGR Division EBIT was $53 million, a 20.7% margin.

GGR EBIT after NRC includes $(4.5) million of non-recurring items linked to the Transformation Plan.

GGR Division Capital Employed was $3.0 billion at the end of June 2015.


Second Quarter 2015 Financial Results before non-recurring charges (NRC)

Balance Sheet 

Debt Management

As part of our dynamic management of the debt characteristics and balance sheet structure, CGG proposed in June 2015 to the 2019 Convertible Bondholders (€360m) an Exchange Offer for a new 2020 Convertible Bond with a more favorable conversion strike (€12.86) and an increased coupon (1.75%), paid by and paying for a one-year extension of the maturity date.

This Financial Operation was approved by 97% of votes at the Shareholders General Meeting on May 29th, and the take-up rate of the Exchange Offer was 90.3%. The exchange took place on June 26th.

Net Debt to Equity Ratio:

Group gross debt was $2.721 billion at the end of June 2015. Available cash was $224 million and Group net debt was $2.497 billion.

Net debt to shareholders equity ratio, at the end of June 2015, was 95% compared to 90%, at the end of December 2014.

The Group's Liquidity, corresponding to the sum of the cash balance and the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facilities, amounted to $472m at the end of June 2015.
