Transforming the ocean surveying and inspection industry

..by utilizing autonomous underwater and surface vehicles and unique sensor and imaging technology

..to significantly increase efficiency and quality

..and to substantially reduce the CO2 footprint for the industry

Unique imaging and modelling technology

"Faster, better, greener and at a lower cost"

Transforming the ocean surveying and inspection industry

Dedicated survey vessel Dedicated ROV vessel AUV/Robotics CO2-emission: High Data Quality: Low Day rate: High Day rate: High Day rate: Low CO2-emission: High Data Quality: Medium Productivity: Medium Productivity: Low Productivity: High

Traditional players delivering high-cost and time consuming services, applying large vessels and expensive equipment

Highlights and Subsequent Events Outlook

• Argeo has successfully completed several key milestone projects involving all our robotics solutions and data analysis methods for clients
• Demonstrated the services based on our robotics platform (ASV) for EPCI clients in Aquaculture (Fjordmax) and Oil & Gas (AkerBP)
• All three robotics systems, the two Autonomous Surface Vehicle and the Hugin AUV are occupied from late August with potential for extension in September
• Building of both SeaRaptor (SR6K) systems going according to the earlier communicated plan with the first delivery in Q4-2021 and the second delivery in Q1-2022

• Revenue NOK 11 million in Q2 2021

• Argeo sees significant demand for its services within three areas, Offshore Wind installations, Oil & Gas and an increasing activity in Deep Sea Minerals

• In-house technology and solutions in combination with our robotics systems are perfectly positioned to capture market share and to become a significant operator in the offshore wind market
• Argeo sees strong demand building for its services and expects increased activity going forward.
• Some planned projects are delayed hence the revenue expectations for the full year 2021 is reduced.
• Several projects are now in the final tendering stages, and an updated guidance for the remainder of the year cannot be provided now

• AUV upside compared to ROV for cable inspection:
• 52% time saving
• 62% cost reduction
• 68% reduction in fuel
• The high expectations to the AUV market growth is based on
• A rising number of deep-water offshore activities within Oil & Gas,Offshore wind and maritime security will increase demand for both ROVs and AUVs,

• 180,000 km pipelines offshore
• 6,000 offshore platforms
• Commission of new projects:
• Commitments are expected to not only recover going forward, but also set to reach a new record in the five-year period towards 2025:
  • 600 projects
  • 480 BUSD in greenfield expenditure

SEGMENT: Offshore wind

• On average 1% of offshore wind CAPEX are used for Consulting/Environmental surveys/Metocean/G&G studies
• AUV business opportunity:
• 2019-2030: 1,450 MUSD/annually
• 2030-2051: 2,120 MUSD/annually

Fastest and most cost-effective survey solutions	• A significantly more flexible and faster pure-play provider not dependent on the shipping model • More than 50% time savings and 60% cost reduction compared to traditional ROV survey solutions
Significantly reduced emissions	• Minimized need for vessel infrastructure and up to 60% reduction in CO2 emissions from operations
AUVs provide more effective data acquisition	• Lowers the number of operators and allows for smaller support/"mother" vessels • Allows for higher speed and more effective data acquisition than by using ROVs
Improved data quality	• AUVs improve the image resolution and data quality by bringing the sensors closer to their targets
