I am very pleased to present our second quarter results for 2024, which demonstrate continuous growth and significant YoY increase for all key financials:
The start of the quarter included focusing on the departure of Argeo Venture from Norway and the upcoming mobilization for TotalEnergies and their Nambia Venus project. Production commenced medio May and has since shown good performance. Argeo Searcher completed the majority of the project for the National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR) (80%) but had to leave early for the required intermediate yard inspection and subsequently mobilizing for Woodside and their Calypso project and in Trinidad & Tobago. The remaining 20% can optionally be completed in Q4'24 or Q1'25. End of the quarter we mobilized the upgraded Hugin 6000 containerized system on to the Ocean Guardian for RWE Canopy project offshore California. Production for both Argeo Searcher and Ocean Guardian commenced in Q3'24.
Looking ahead to Q3, we will have three operational vessel spreads working across two continents and serving three major clients in both the O&G and the Renewables sector. As a result, we expect a significant increase in all our key financial figures.
Total firm Backlog from tenders in H1-2024 ended at USD 71 million. Produced revenues from this backlog in H1'24 was USD 25 million (Q2'24 USD 16 million), remaining firm backlog for H2 currently stand at USD 45 million.
HSEQ management is important for Argeo and being responsible is part of our core values. I'm very pleased to report that Argeo 's professionalism and strong industry experience with continued focus on HSEQ performance has had a major positive impact on our business and this effort is recognized by our clients in all three verticals. Through H1-2024 we have completed significant operational and organisational growth both onshore and offshore. The entire team has shown dedication and focus, reaching, and in some areas, exceeding our corporate HSEQ KPI targets. Achieving a TRIF of 1.1 with zero LTIs over 18,000 exposure hours underscores our solid commitment to safety. This performance highlights our dedication to maintaining a safe working environment.
On the technical side, the new Hugin fleet has performed exceptionally well with good performance numbers and very good production rates. This is now proven to be a reliable acquisition platform that meets our customers' expectations. Additionally, further improvement to our turnkey data delivery platform enables us to provide near-on-demand product delivery, significantly enhancing customer satisfaction from well executed
projects.

Revenue for Q2 2024 was USD 15.7 million, compared to USD 1.4 million in Q2 2023. Revenue in Q2 2024 is mainly from the deep-water mineral survey with India's National Centre for Polar and Ocean Research (NCPOR) in the Indian Ocean, and from the contract with TotalEnergies in Namibia.
Cost of sales in Q2 2024 was USD 10.2 million, compared to USD 2.4 million in Q2 2023. Main reason for the increase is having two vessels in activity in Q2 2024 compared to one in the previous quarter, combined with higher operating cost in the area of operation.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from USD 0.6 million in Q2 2023 to USD 1.3 million in Q2 2024. The increase is reflecting a build-up of the organization to handle more activity with Argeo Venture coming into operation in 2024.

Depreciation and amortisation increased from USD 1.1 million in Q2 2023 to USD 2.6 million in Q2 2024. The increase in Q2 2024 is due to depreciation on the new assets Argeo Venture and two Hugin Superior AUV's. There is also an increase due to depreciation on the IFRS 16 Right-of-use assets bareboat charter of Argeo Searcher and office leases.
Net financial loss in Q2 2024 was USD 2.6 million and includes currency exchange loss amounting to USD 0.7 million. Net financial gain in Q2 2023 was USD 0.1 million.

million in Q2 2023.

Of this, Right-of-use assets amounted to USD 28.4 million consisting of the bareboat charter Argeo Searcher, two Hugin Superior leases and office leases.

Total liabilities at the end of the quarter were USD 64.7 million, compared to USD 36.6 million at the end of 2023. The increase is mainly due to new lease for a Hugin Superior, and a new loan for Argeo Venture.

The Group had three loans from Innovation Norway at the end of June 2024, all bearing an interest at 8.20%*.
The Group has covenants related to the Innovation Norway funding (Loan Innovation Norway – C). The covenants are measured half-yearly based on the Group's ordinary financial reporting. The Group was compliant with all covenants as of 30 June 2024.
All three loans from Innovation Norway are secured with machinery and plant in Argeo Survey AS, Argeo AS and Argeo Robotics. Further, the loans are secured with 50% of the shares in H1000 JV AS, a parent company guarantee from Argeo AS, and trade receivables in Argeo Survey AS.
The Group has seller's credits related to purchases of AUVs.
In February 2024 the Group entered into a sale-and-leaseback transaction involving the Company's vessel Argeo Venture. The transaction has been accounted for as a financing arrangement.
*Innovation Norway may adjust the interest rate with a six week notice upon changes in underlying market rates.
Management has assessed that the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade payables and other current liabilities approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
For the interest-bearing liabilities, the fair values are not materially different from their carrying amounts, since the interest payable on those borrowings is close to current market rates. The fair values of Interest-bearing liabilities are based on discounted cash flows using the current borrowing rate.

Enables efficient 3D visualization of Ocean Space Data in a user-friendly browser-based interface, supporting a collaborative data sharing and a smoother interpretation workflow.
Our operations include inspection and maintenance of equipment for the Oil & Gas industry in addition to identification of outdated production equipment for removal, contributing to decommissioning (DECOM) efforts. Furthermore, Argeo's use of fuel-efficient vessels and battery-run robotic equipment underscores our commitment to sustainability, providing our company and services with a distinct green profile. Through these initiatives, Argeo continues to lead by example in promoting environmental stewardship and innovative solutions within the industry.
One of Argeo's most important value is to be responsible. This means that we must conduct business operations in a responsible and safe manner and to foster a healthy and prosperous workplace based on fairness and equality.
The UN Sustainable Development Goals were adopted by all the world's governments at the United Nations in 2015 and provide a common and necessary roadmap. At Argeo, we celebrate these goals and believe in making a difference in the ocean space. All 17 of the UN SDGs are relevant to our business, yet we have chosen to focus on four main areas; 7: affordable and clean energy, 9: industry, innovation and infrastructure, 13: climate action and 14: life below water. We find that we can contribute more within these areas and that they are enablers to further strengthen the full set of UN goals.
As of Q2 2024 we have not yet started measuring a comprehensive carbon footprint, but it is our ambition to do so going forward. As our company grows it is also our ambition to set clear goals and to integrate an environmental awareness into all levels ofthe company, meaning we want sustainability to permeate the business. From how we write the contracts with our customers to the waste management in every office.
Through our core business, we help our clients become more efficient in keeping the oceans safe and clean. Our complete set-up of vessels, robotic subsea equipment and our own developed and patented sensor systems enables us to perform inspection surveys up to eight times more efficiently than traditional methods. This technological edge not only enhances operational efficiency but also reduces environmental impact. Therefore, HSEQ management is paramount for Argeo and being responsible is part of our core values.


Responsibility is a fundamental value at Argeo. We are dedicated to conducting our business with integrity, prioritizing safety and responsibility, and striving to minimize our environmental footprint. Argeo places significant emphasis on preventing negative environmental impacts from our operations.
Our company policy is to maintain safe and pollution-free practices that comply with both national and international regulations, as well as relevant standards and guidelines. Our objective is to continuously enhance our management skills in relation to environmental protection and we are committed to understand and collectively work towards reducing our environmental footprint.
Through our core business, we help our clients become more efficient
We believe maintaining a balanced and diverse workforce in terms of gender, age, and nationalities is a strategic advantage that fosters diverse perspectives and drives innovation.
This diversity enhances our ability to understand and serve a global customer base, strengthening our competitiveness and market presence. A varied team promotes an inclusive and collaborative work environment, encouraging creativity and improving overall performance.
By embracing diverse experiences and viewpoints, we attract top talent, enhance employee satisfaction, and reduce turnover. This balance results in better decision-making and a more robust, adaptable organization.

We believe active corporate governance is vital to the development of companies and that it provides longterm benefits for all Argeo's stakeholders.
All employees are encouraged to raise concerns wherever they identify activities which are not aligned with Argeo's values and behaviors. Argeo encourages employees to raise concerns in the first instance directly to line management. In circumstances where this is not possible or it may be more appropriate to do so due to the nature or seriousness of the concern, a confidential Whistleblowing portal is available.
Argeo has a zero tolerance for bribery and corrupt payments in whatever form, whether given or received, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the world. Most countries, including the USA, the UK and Norway, have strict anti-bribery and anti- corruption laws in place, which are intended to prevent companies and individuals from gaining an unfair advantage, and from undermining the rule of law. We must never offer or accept bribes or kickbacks and must not participate in or facilitate corrupt activities of any kind. We must also never engage a third party (in particular, a commercial agent or other business representative) who we believe may attempt to offer a bribe to conduct company business.
Per 2023 our suppliers are asked to fill out a "self-assessment form" and our future goal is to develop a formal Supply Chain Sustainability Code of Conduct.
Antitrust laws, sometimes also called competition laws, govern the way that companies behave in the marketplace. Antitrust laws encourage competition by prohibiting unreasonable restraints on trade and anti-competitive conduct. The laws deal in general terms with the way companies deal with their competitors, clients, and suppliers. Violating antitrust laws is a serious matter and could place both the company and the individual at risk of substantial criminal penalties.
An important part of Argeo's commitment to responsible business is respecting human rights in accordance with internationally recognised standards. There is both a business and a moral case for ensuring that human rights principles are upheld during our operations and throughout our value chain.
Our approach is informed by the International Bill of Human Rights, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the International Labour Organisation's Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work.
Argeo aspires to be an honest and trustworthy company. Our reputation depends upon each of us understanding the Code of Conduct, and always demonstrating integrity and honesty. The Code of Conduct sets the standard for how we should work together to develop and deliver our services, how we protect the value of Argeo, and how we work with customers, contractors, suppliers, and others.

Create measurable goals
Strive to achieve corporate environmental goals set forward
Argeo's framework for corporate governance is intended to decrease business risk, maximize value and utilize our resources in an efficient, sustainable manner, for the benefit of shareholders, employees, and society at large.
