"In Q1 2023 our Produced Revenues increased 23% year-over-year, driven by higher contract revenues and strong pre-funding for ongoing MultiClient acquisition projects. We used a majority of vessel time on attractive contract work with pricing continuing on a positive trend. For our MultiClient projects we secured strong client commitments and report a pre-funding level of 130% in the quarter, well above our targeted range.
MultiClient late sales fluctuate between quarters and were low in Q1, primarily due to delays in completing several sales transactions. However, we expect these processes to close in the coming quarters and our late sales expectations for the full year are unchanged.
We completed our refinancing in Q1 by issuing a new \$450 million senior secured bond with a 4-year tenor. The proceeds, together with cash on the balance sheet, were used to repay \$600 million of our Term Loan B. In total we have reduced interest-bearing debt by \$245 million in the quarter. We have a strong liquidity reserve and cash flow generation, and I am confident we will continue to improve our capital structure going forward.
The seismic market is in recovery, and we are increasingly benefiting from the improving market fundamentals."
Rune Olav Pedersen, President and Chief Executive Officer
PGS expects global energy consumption to continue to increase over the longer term with oil and gas remaining an important part of the energy mix, as the global energy transition evolves. Offshore reserves will be vital for future energy supply and support demand for marine seismic services. The seismic market is recovering on the back of increased focus on energy security, several years of low investment in new oil and gas supplies, and higher oil and gas prices.
Offshore investments in oil and gas exploration and production are expected to increase in 2023. The seismic acquisition market is likely to benefit from the higher exploration and production spending, and a limited supply of seismic vessels.
PGS expects full year 2023 gross cash costs to be approximately \$550 million. The increase from 2022 is primarily due to the higher activity level and more capacity in operation.
2023 MultiClient cash investments are expected to be approximately \$160 million.
Approximately 60% of 2023 active 3D vessel time is expected to be allocated to contract work.
Capital expenditures for 2023 is expected to be approximately \$100 million.
The Order book amounted to \$377 million on March 31, 2023. On December 31, 2022, and March 31, 2022, the Order book was \$416 million and \$315 million, respectively.

PGS has one operating segment focused on delivery of seismic data and services, which matches the internal reporting to the Company's executive management.
Following the implementation of the new accounting standard for revenues, IFRS 15, in 2018, MultiClient pre-funding revenues are no longer recognized under the previously applied percentage-of-completion ("POC") method. Instead, all such revenues are generally recognized at the "point in time" when the customer receives access to, or delivery of, the finished data which often will take place a year or more after the acquisition of data due to the time required to complete data processing.
PGS management has, for the purpose of its internal reporting, continued to report according to the principle applied in 2017 and earlier years, where MultiClient pre-funding revenue is recognized on a POC basis, and the related amortization of MultiClient library based upon the ratio of aggregate capitalized survey costs to forecasted sales. This differs from IFRS reporting which recognizes revenue from MultiClient pre-funding agreements and related amortization at the "point in time" when the customer receives access to, or delivery of, the finished data. See Note 14 for further description of the principles applied.
The table below provides a reconciliation of the Group's segment numbers ("Produced") against the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS ("As Reported"):

(1) The statistics exclude cold-stacked vessels. The Q1 2023 vessel statistics is based on 6 active 3D vessels.
As Reported revenues according to IFRS amounted to \$143.1 million in Q1 2023, an increase of \$6.9 million, or 5%, compared to Q1 2022. The increase is driven by higher contract revenues, partially offset by lower MultiClient late sales.
Produced Revenues amounted to \$172.2 million in Q1 2023, an increase of \$31.9 million, or 23%, compared to Q1 2022.
Contract revenues in Q1 2023 increased by \$32.6 million, or 53%, compared to Q1 2022. The increase is driven by higher rates and more vessel capacity used for contract acquisition work. Vessel utilization was significantly higher in Q1 2023 compared to Q1 2022 as shown in the table above.
MultiClient late sales revenues decreased by \$29.2 million, or 53%, compared Q1 2022. MultiClient late sales fluctuate significantly between quarters and were low in Q1 2023, primarily due to delays in completing several sales transactions before quarter-end. The Company's late sales expectations for the full year are unchanged and the Company believes that the demand for MultiClient data will benefit from the recovering seismic market. Late sales were highest in Europe and South America.
As reported MultiClient pre-funding revenues according to IFRS in Q1 2023 increased by \$1.6 million, or 11%, compared to Q1 2022.
Produced MultiClient pre-funding revenues in Q1 2023 increased by \$26.6 million, or 141%, compared to Q1 2022. The increase is due to more 3D vessel capacity used on MultiClient acquisition projects and a strong pre-funding level.

Gross cash cost in Q1 2023 increased by \$32.0 million, or 30%, compared to Q1 2022. The increase is primarily due to a significantly higher 3D vessel utilization and activity level, Sanco Swift acquiring 2D MultiClient survey, more project related costs and rigging of Ramform Victory.
Cash costs capitalized to the MultiClient library in Q1 2023 increased by \$13.4 million, or 62%, compared to Q1 2022. The increase is mainly due to more 3D vessel capacity allocated to MultiClient acquisition.
Amortization and impairment of MultiClient library consist of the following:

|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In millions of US dollars) | 2023 | 2022 | 2022 | |

| Amortization of MultiClient library | (37.9) | (40.3) | (135.7) | |
| Accelerated amortization of MultiClient library | - | (3.8) | (105.9) | |

| Amortization of MultiClient library | (70.6) | (59.1) | (242.0) | |
| Total | (70.6) | (59.1) | (242.0) |
Total IFRS amortization of the MultiClient library in Q1 2023 decreased by \$6.2 million, or 14%, compared to Q1 2022. The decrease is mainly driven by a gradual reduction of straight-line amortization for the library of completed MultiClient surveys and less accelerated amortization. Amortization was 90% of MultiClient revenues in Q1 2023, compared to 63% in Q1 2022. The higher amortization rate reflects a lower proportion of late sales in the mix.
Depreciation and amortization of non-current assets (excl. MultiClient library) consist of the following:
| Quarter ended | March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| (In millions of US dollars) | 2023 | 2022 | 2022 |
| Gross depreciation* | (27.9) | (33.9) | (122.2) |
| Deferred Steaming depreciation, net | (0.3) | (0.8) | 0.4 |
| Depreciation capitalized to the MultiClient library | 7.6 | 6.4 | 25.9 |
| Total | (20.6) | (28.3) | (95.9) |
For the full year 2022, depreciation of right-of-use assets amounts to \$17.6 million. *includes depreciation of right-of-use assets amounting to \$4.2 million and \$4.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively.
Gross depreciation in Q1 2023 decreased by \$6.0 million, or 18%, compared to Q1 2022. The decrease comes from a generally low investment level in property and equipment over recent years.
Impairment and gain/(loss) on sale of non-current assets (excluding MultiClient library) consist of the following:

There were no impairments recorded in Q1 2023. Impairment tests on vessels and equipment are performed at year end and whenever there are events, changes in assumptions or indication of potential loss of value. The seismic market is recovering, but the recoverable values of seismic vessels and other Company assets are sensitive to the assumed margins and cycles of the seismic industry as well as changes to operational plans. As a result, impairments may arise in future periods.
Other charges, net consist of the following:

| Other | - | (0.0) | 0.1 |
| Total | - | (3.0) | 5.7 |
As of March 31, 2023, the Company has no remaining provision for onerous customer contracts. This is a decrease from the \$10.0 million provision as of March 31, 2022. Provision for onerous customer contracts represents the estimated loss in future periods relating to binding customer contracts where revenues are lower than the full costs, including depreciation, of completing the contract.
In Q1 2023, the share of results from associated companies was a gain of \$0.4 million, compared to a loss of \$0.2 million in Q1 2022.

| Total | (30.7) | (24.8) | (110.3) |
Gross interest expense in Q1 2023 increased by \$5.0 million, compared to Q1 2022. The cause for the increase is a considerable increase of Libor interest rates, year on year, which increases the cost of floating rate debt. This is partially offset by reduced debt balances and increased interest income (see note 7).

Interest income in Q1 2023 increased by \$3.7 million, compared to Q1 2022. A higher cash balance through Q1 2023, compared to Q1 2022 has benefited from higher interest rates.
The \$11.2 million loss related to extinguishment of debt is due to early repayment of \$600 million Term Loan B in Q1 and includes a proportionate write off of deferred loan cost and the fair value adjustment from modification of debt treated as extinguishment in 2021.

The current tax expense in Q1 2023 increased by \$0.2 million, compared to Q1 2022. Current tax expense relates to foreign withholding tax and corporate tax on profits in certain countries where PGS has executed projects or made MultiClient sales, primarily in Africa and South America.
The Company has ongoing tax disputes related to charter of vessels into Brazil. The assessments, which inter alia seek to levy 15% withholding tax and 10% CIDE (service) tax, amount to \$40.1 million in total. The Company holds a legal deposit amounting to \$19.6 million, initially made in Q4 2020 to challenge one of the disputes in court. The deposit is held in an interest-bearing bank account with a commercial bank. Since the Company considers it more likely than not that these contingencies will be resolved in its favor, no provision has been made for any portion of the exposure.

Prefunding as a percentage of MultiClient cash investment 130% 88% 123% * Includes revenue from sale to joint operations in the amount of \$16.0 and \$9.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively.
Produced MultiClient pre-funding revenues in Q1 2023 corresponded to 130% of capitalized MultiClient cash investment (excluding capitalized interest), compared to 88% in Q1 2022. The increased pre-funding level is mainly due to higher client exploration activity and more demand for new MultiClient surveys.
MultiClient cash investment in Q1 2023 increased by \$13.4 million, or 62%, compared to Q1 2022, due to more 3D vessel capacity allocated to MultiClient projects.
The Company did not recognize any accelerated amortization of the MultiClient library in Q1 2023, compared to \$3.8 million in Q1 2022.
Net cash provided by operating activities in Q1 2023 was \$134.4 million, compared to \$63.4 million in Q1 2022. The increase is due to higher Produced revenues in Q1 and higher collection of receivables from prior quarter revenues.
In 2022, PGS recorded revenues of approximately \$30 million of transfer fees relating to a change of control event. The amount is still not agreed with the client. Given the inability to timely conclude the negotiations, PGS has initiated two arbitration proceedings under the dispute resolution provisions of the agreements, the first of which is expected to be concluded during Q2 or Q3 2023. PGS has only recognized revenues that, based on PGS's best estimate and external legal advice, are conservatively expected to be due to PGS, and the resolution of the dispute may result in additional revenues. The delay in settling this matter impacts the Company's working capital as of March 31, 2023.
The liquidity reserve, including cash and cash equivalents, was \$154.1 million as of March 31, 2023, compared to \$163.9 million as of March 31, 2022, and \$363.8 million as of December 31, 2022.
On March 31, 2023, PGS issued a \$450 million 4-year senior secured bond (the "Bonds"). The proceeds from the Bonds, together with cash on balance sheet, were used to repay \$600 million of the Term Loan B ("TLB"). After the prepayment the next and final scheduled maturity of the TLB is \$137.9 million due on March 19, 2024. The Company's Super Senior Loan of \$50 million has a scheduled maturity March 18, 2024, which at the Company's option can be extended by one year.
The TLB agreements have a liquidity sweep requirement where liquidity reserve in excess of \$175 million at quarter-end shall be used to repay the TLB.

| Net interest-bearing debt, including lease liabilities | (673.0) | (1,050.2) | (703.9) |
Restricted cash of \$64.2 million includes \$37.4 million held in debt service reserve and retention accounts related to the export credit financing ("ECF") loans for Ramform Titan, Ramform Atlas, Ramform Tethys and Ramform Hyperion.
On March 31, 2023, the Company had approximately 77% of its debt (excluding lease liabilities) at fixed interest rates. The weighted average cash interest rate was approximately 11.1%, including credit margins, as of March 31, 2023, compared to 7.24% and 8.98 % as of March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The main credit agreements contain a Minimum Consolidated Liquidity and a Maximum Total Net Leverage Ratio* ("TNLR") covenant. For the TLB and Super Senior Loan the liquidity covenant requires that the consolidated unrestricted cash and cash equivalents shall not be less than \$75 million, while the TNLR covenant cannot exceed 2.75:1. The bond terms have a minimum liquidity covenant of \$50 million and a maximum leverage ratio (Net Interest Bearing Debt to last twelve months IFRS EBITDA) of 3.00:1 from Q1 2023 to Q4 2024 and 2.50:1 thereafter. On March 31, 2023, the TNLR was 1.42:1 and leverage ratio calculated according to the bond terms 1.57:1. The Company expects to comply with the financial covenants in its loan agreements going forward.
On March 31, 2023, PGS issued Bonds of \$450 million at 98% of par. The Bonds have a 4-year tenor, maturing March 31, 2027, with a coupon of 13.5% paid semiannually. The Bonds are non-callable for 2 years and can thereafter be called at 106.75 per cent of par between March 31, 2025, and September 29, 2025, 105.06 per cent of par between September 30, 2025, and March 30, 2026, 103.38 per cent of par between March 31, 2026, and September 29, 2026, and thereafter 100.50 per cent of par.
The bond terms have restrictions on incurrence of further indebtedness, but with certain baskets and exceptions. The most important exception is that for a total of up to \$75 million, the Company can either issue additional \$50 million of bonds (a so called "tap issue") or issue other secured debt, on a pari passu basis with the Bonds, to refinance up to \$75 million of the outstanding TLB. Further, the at any time outstanding gross amount under the ECF loans can be refinanced as pari passu debt
with the Bonds. The bond terms further permit a super senior (priority in right of payments to the Bonds) facility of up to \$75 million of which no more than \$60 million can be in the form of cash drawings.
PGS is permitted to pay dividend of up to 50 per cent of net profit (after tax) when the TLB is repaid in full and leverage ratio is below 1.0:1.0.
*The Total Net Leverage Ratio ("TNLR") is calculated as the consolidated indebtedness, net of restricted cash held for debt service in respect of the ECF and unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, divided by adjusted Produced EBITDA less non-pre-funded MultiClient library investments.

The Company is a Norwegian public limited liability company which prepares its annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the EU. These consolidated condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with international Accounting Standards ("IAS") No. 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The consolidated condensed interim financial statements are presented in millions of US Dollars ("\$" or "dollars"), unless otherwise indicated. The interim financial information has not been subject to audit or review.
Profit and loss for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent interim period or year. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Upon completion of a survey, straight-line amortization commences over its estimated useful life which is generally over a period of 4 years from the data is transferred to completed surveys. If a project is jointly owned, the Company amortizes the portion of capitalized costs representing partners share of ownership.
In addition, with the straight-line amortization policy there is an accelerated amortization at the point of time when a MultiClient survey is completed and delivered to pre-funding customers. In addition, with the straight-line amortization policy for completed surveys, recognition of additional or accelerated amortization of library may be necessary in the event that sales on a completed survey are realized disproportionately sooner within that survey's 4-year useful life.
IFRS 9 requires an entity to derecognize a financial liability when, and only when, it is 'extinguished', that is, when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled, or expires. IFRS 9 requires an exchange between an existing borrower and lender of debt instruments with 'substantially different' terms to be accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability, or a part of it, should be accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.
Although IFRS provides a fair presentation of the profit and loss of the Company, for purposes of Segment and internal reporting management applies the revenue recognition principle used prior to 2018 and IFRS 15. MultiClient pre-funding revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion method. Management believes this method makes revenues coincide better with activities and resources used by the Company and provides useful information as to the progress made on MultiClient surveys in process and resultant value generation during the period.
In determining the percentage of completion, progress is measured in a manner generally consistent with the physical progress of the project, and revenue is recognized based on the ratio of the project's progress to date, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria are satisfied. Accordingly, MultiClient pre-funding revenues and related MultiClient amortization are generally recognized earlier for purposes of segment reporting as compared to IFRS reporting.
While a survey is in progress, the Company amortizes each MultiClient survey based on the ratio of aggregate capitalized survey costs to forecasted sales for segment purposes. At completion the remaining balance is amortized on a straight-line basis over four years.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of January 1, 2023. The Company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. Several amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2023, but do not have an impact on the Company's interim condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Company emphasizes that the information included herein contains certain forward-looking statements that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects, projects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future. These statements are based on various assumptions made by the Company, many of which are beyond its control and all of which are subject to risks and uncertainties. The Company is subject to many risk factors including but not limited to the demand for seismic services, the demand for data from the Company's MultiClient library, the attractiveness of PGS' technology, changes in governmental regulations affecting markets, the speed and impact of the energy transition and its effect on customer behavior, technical downtime, licenses and permitting, currency and fuel price fluctuations, and extreme weather conditions.
Contracts for services are occasionally modified by mutual consent and in certain instances may be cancelled by customers at short notice without compensation. Consequently, the order book as of any date may not be indicative of actual operating results for any succeeding period.
For a further description of other relevant risk factors, we refer to the Annual Report for 2022. As a result of these and other risk factors, actual events and actual results may differ materially from those indicated in or implied by such forward-looking statements.

The European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") issued guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures ("APMs") that came into force on July 3, 2016. The Company has defined and explained the purpose of the APMs in the paragraphs below.
PGS has introduced alternative performance measures ("APMs") on a POC basis. Such APMs include Produced Revenues, Produced EBITDA, Produced EBIT, excluding impairments and other charges and Order book. PGS measures its revenues on a POC basis for its internal management reporting and consequently this will also be the basis for Segment Reporting in financial statements. PGS believes that the introduction of these APMs will improve transparency and provide better information to financial statement users.
PGS believes that EBIT, excluding impairments and other charges, is a useful measure in that the measures provide an indication of the profitability of the Company's operating activities for the period without regard to significant events and/or decisions in the period that are expected to occur less frequently. EBIT, excluding impairments and other charges is reconciled above.
Produced Revenues, when used by the Company, means revenues and other income based on recognition of MultiClient prefunding revenues on a Percentage-of-completion (POC) basis. Produced Revenues is reconciled in Note 1.
Produced EBITDA, when used by the Company, means as reported operating profit (loss), adjusted for produced revenues to revenues as reported and produced amortization to amortization as reported, and excluding impairments and other charges. Produced EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures from other companies. The Company has included Produced EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because PGS believes that the measure provides useful information regarding the Company's ability to service debt and to fund capital expenditures and provides a helpful measure for comparing its operating performance with that of other companies. Produced EBITDA is reconciled above.
PGS believes that Produced EBIT, excluding impairments and other charges, is a useful measure in that the measures provide an indication of the profitability of the Company's operating activities for the period without regard to significant events and/or
decisions in the period that are expected to occur less frequently. Produced EBIT, excluding impairments and other charges is reconciled above.
The MultiClient pre-funding level is calculated by dividing the MultiClient pre-funding revenues, as per segment reporting, by the cash investment in MultiClient library, as reported, in the Statements of Cash Flows. PGS believes that the MultiClient pre-funding percentage is a useful measure in that provides some indication of the extent to which the Company's financial risk is reduced on new MultiClient investments.
Net interest-bearing debt is defined as the sum of non-current and current interest-bearing debt, less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Net interest- bearing debt is reconciled in Note 11 above. PGS believes that net interest-bearing debt is a useful measure because it provides an indication of the hypothetical minimum necessary debt financing to which the Company is subject at balance sheet date.
Order book is defined as the aggregated estimated value of future revenues, measured on a basis consistent with our Segment reporting principles. This includes signed customer contracts, letters of award or where all major contract terms are agreed. For long-term contracted service agreements the order book includes estimated revenues for the nearest 12-month period. PGS believes that the Order book figure is a useful measure in that it provides an indication of the amount of customer backlog and committed activity in the coming periods.
Order book information disclosed in earlier financial reports are as follows:

Cash flow before financing activities is defined as the sum of net cash provided by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities in the consolidated financial statements of cash flows.
Liquidity reserve is defined in Note 11. PGS believes that liquidity reserve is a useful measure because it provides an indication of the amount of funds readily available to the Company in the very short term at balance sheet date.
Gross cash costs are defined as the sum of reported net operating expenses (excluding depreciation, amortization, impairments, deferred steaming, net and other charges, net) and the operating cash costs capitalized as investments in the MultiClient library as well as capitalized development costs. Gross cash costs are reconciled in Note 3. PGS believes that the gross cash costs figure is a useful measure because it provides an indication of the level of cash costs incurred by the Company irrespective of the extent to which the fleet is working on MultiClient projects or the extent to which its R&D expenditures qualify for capitalization.
Net operating expenses are defined as gross cash costs (as per above) less capitalized investments in the MultiClient library and capitalized development costs and is reconciled in Note 3. PGS believes this figure is a useful measure because it provides an indication of the level of net cash costs incurred by the Company in running current period commercial activities that are not devoted to investment.
Capital expenditures means investments in property and equipment irrespective of whether paid in the period but excluding capitalized interest costs.
