For the fourth quarter of 2022, EMGS recorded revenues of USD 15.2 million, up from USD 5.1 million reported for the corresponding quarter of 2021.

For the fourth quarter of 2022, charter hire, fuel and crew expense, excluding vessel lease expenses and multi-client expenses, amounted to USD 2.4 million, compared with USD 0.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2021. The increase in charter hire, fuel and crew expenses in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2021 is due to increased transit and higher fuel prices in the fourth quarter of 2022.

This increase is a result of increased activity in the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.

The carrying value of the multi-client library was USD 1.5 million as of 31 December 2022, compared to USD 2.4 million as of 31 December 2021.
Given the uncertainty in timing of recovery related to taxes in various jurisdictions, EMGS has reclassified USD 2.7 million of other receivables from current to non-current assets.

The Atlantic Guardian successfully completed the proprietary survey for Woodside in Trinidad and Tobago. Upon completion, the Atlantic Guardian returned to Norway to be placed in warm-stack until such time as additional backlog is secured.
As of 31 December 2022, EMGS' backlog was USD 1.6 million, compared with a backlog of USD 0.1 million as of the end of the fourth quarter 2021.
In February 2022, the maturity date of the convertible bond (EMGS03) was extended by 24 months from May 2023 to May 2025. The interest margin of the convertible bond was increased by 100 bps from 5.5 to 6.5 per cent over the applicable reference rate.
In March 2022, EMGS announced USD 2.8 million in revenue from late sales and a change of control event related to its existing multi-client library in Norway.
In March 2022, EMGS announced net uplifts in the amount of approximately USD 1.0 million related to its existing multiclient library in Norway. In April 2022, additional uplifts of USD 1.0 million were announced.
In April 2022, EMGS announced that the Company had secured a total of USD 2.8 million in pre-funding related to a multiclient survey in Norway.
In June 2022, the Company announced USD 1.4 million in late sales and USD 1.2 million from a change of control event related to the existing multi-client library in Norway.
In July 2022, EMGS was awarded a proprietary survey for CSEM acquisition in Trinidad and Tobago with a maximum value of approximately USD 11 million. The survey commenced in October 2022.
In July 2022, EMGS announced that the Company had secured USD 3.8 million in revenue from uplifts related to its existing multi-client library in Norway.
In July 2022, EMGS secured USD 2.0 million in pre-funding for a multi-client survey offshore East Canada. The survey was completed in September 2022.
In August 2022, EMGS was selected as the acquisition provider for the NTNU ATLAB consortium. The contract value was approximately USD 1 million, and acquisition was successfully completed in August 2022.
In December 2022, EMGS completed a USD 5.0 million bond buy-back at 86.5 per cent of par. This marks the third bond buy-back with a combined value of USD 13.0 million under the first, second and third voluntary bond buy-backs.
In January 2023, EMGS secured USD 1.7 million in revenue from late sales related to its existing multi-client library in the Barents Sea.
EMGS was listed at the Oslo Stock Exchange in March 2007. During the fourth quarter 2022, the EMGS share was traded between NOK 1.60 and NOK 1.90 per share. The last closing price on 31 December 2022 was NOK 1.60.
As of 31 December 2022, the Company had a total of 130,969,690 shares outstanding.
The most important risk factor for EMGS is the demand for EM services. Historically, demand for EM services has been correlated with the oil price, which can be volatile, unpredictable and is subject to upward and downward pressure from economic, environmental, political, and other factors. The Company expects that this correlation will remain going forward. As EM surveys are considered a niche product to many E&P companies, demand can quickly change in response to changes in the oil price.
The Company's convertible bond loan due in 2025 contains a financial covenant requiring free cash and cash equivalents of at least USD 2.5 million. As of 31 December 2022, the free cash and cash equivalents totalled USD 11.4 million.
Historically, lack of long-term visibility has led to unpredictable and sometimes volatile revenue generation. EMGS has partially addressed the risk of unpredictable revenue generation with a more flexible business model and continuously strives to increase backlog.
Reference is made to the 2021 Annual Report for a further description of other relevant and important risk factors.
The Atlantic Guardian is currently in warm stack in Norway and EMGS is working towards securing backlog for the first half of 2023, with an aim to start up operations offshore Norway during the second quarter of 2023. While securing backlog is a priority for EMGS, the negotiated flexibility in the vessel charter for the Atlantic Guardian enables EMGS to significantly reduce cash burn during periods of low utilisation.
Multi-client late sales have been and will continue to be an important part of EMGS' revenue stream, generating cash in addition to acquisition contracts. Late sales typically have a short sales cycle and are not a predictable revenue stream.
The setup used in the ATLAB survey, as detailed in the Operational Review section of this report, will form the basis for EMGS's Multiphysics offering towards marine mineral exploration and potentially offshore wind site surveys.
The Company maintains its cutting-edge technological position in the EM market, and this has been confirmed by positive feedback from recent client projects, where the results of our surveys have exceeded our client's expectations. Given the recent re-focusing on the oil and gas industry back towards exploration, given geopolitical events and energy security realities made clear during 2022, we have a positive outlook for EMGS's participation in this recovery, though we are very mindful of the fact that our backlog situation as it currently stands does not reflect the more general market upturn in the oil and gas sector. With its more streamlined and efficient organisation, EMGS is well-positioned to be able to capitalise on any upturn in the market. Nevertheless, we will continue to balance the costs of operations carefully against the riskadjusted economics of any potential projects.

The multi-client library consists of electromagnetic data acquired through multi-client surveys i.e., EMGS owns the data. The EM data can be licensed to customers on a non-exclusive basis. Directly attributable costs associated with multi-client projects such as acquisition costs, processing costs, and other direct project costs are capitalised.

This quarterly report includes and is based, inter alia, on forward-looking information and statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Such forward-looking information and statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about global economic conditions, the economic conditions of the regions and industries that are major markets and potential clients for EMGS ASA and its subsidiaries.
These expectations, estimates and projections are generally identifiable by statements containing words such as "expects", "believes", "estimates" or similar expressions. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expectations include, among others, economic and market conditions in the geographic areas and industries that are or could be major markets for EMGS' businesses, oil prices, market acceptance of new products and services, changes in governmental regulations, interest rates, fluctuations in currency exchange rates and such other
factors as may be relevant from time to time.
Although EMGS ASA believes that its expectations and the information in this report were based upon reasonable assumptions at the time when they were made, it can give no assurance that those expectations will be achieved or that the actual results will be as set out in this report. Neither EMGS ASA nor any other company within the EMGS Group is making any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability or completeness of the information in the report, and neither EMGS ASA, any other company within the EMGS Group nor any of their directors, officers or employees will have any liability to you or any other persons resulting from your use of the information in the report.
EMGS ASA undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking information or statements in the report.

EMGS' financial information is prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, EMGS provides alternative performance measures to enhance the understanding of EMGS' performance. The alternative performance measures presented by EMGS may be determined or calculated differently by other companies.
EBITDA means Earnings before interest, taxes, amortisation, depreciation and impairments. EMGS uses EBITDA because it is useful when evaluating operating profitability as it excludes amortisation, depreciation and impairments related to investments that occurred in the past and are not cash-flow items. Also, the measure is useful when comparing the Company's performance to other companies.
| Q4 2022 | Q4 2021 | YTD 2022 | 2021 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amounts in USD 1 000 | Unaudited | Unaudited | Unaudited | Audited |
| Operating profit / (loss) | 7,003 | 767 | 13,115 | 9,209 |
| Depreciation and ord. amortisation | 2,435 | 1,695 | 8,208 | 7,731 |
| Multi-client amortisation | 862 | 224 | 2,513 | 2,457 |
| Impairment of long term assets | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| EBITDA | 10,300 | 2,686 | 23,837 | 19,396 |
Adjusted EBITDA means EBITDA (see above) less multi-client investment (capitalisation) and less the cost of vessel and office leases.
EMGS uses Adjusted EBITDA because the Company believes this provides users of the financial reporting with a clearer picture when evaluating the operating profitability regardless of whether the Company is working on a multi-client or a proprietary survey. The Adjusted EBITDA measure includes the gross cash costs of the Company. The Adjusted EBITDA adds back cash items as capitalised multi-client expenses and vessel and office lease expenses to the costs included in the adjusted EBITDA.
Backlog is defined as the total nominal value of future revenue from signed customer contracts. EMGS believes that the backlog figure is a useful measure in that it provides an indication of the amount of committed activity in the coming periods.
