EMGS reports fourth quarter 2014 results

EMGS reports fourth quarter 2014 results

Electromagnetic Geoservices ASA (EMGS) recorded revenues of USD 52.5 million in

the fourth quarter 2014, up from USD 41.7 million in the third quarter and from

USD 44.9 million in the corresponding quarter in 2013. Contract sales totaled

USD 25.5 million, while multi-client sales were at USD 27.0 million this

quarter. The Company had an EBITDA of USD 18.6 million and a net income of USD

15.1 million.

The Company had record-high multi-client sales in the quarter, mostly from the

library in the Barents Sea. In addition, the Company signed contracts for its

vessel BOA Thalassa in Asia and a 3.5 months contract for the EM Leader in

Uruguay. The Atlantic Guardian spent most of the quarter at yard and contributed

with only 0.9 vessel months this quarter.

"2014 was a successful year for EMGS. We signed contracts with a number of new

customers and expanded our multi-client libraries in strategically important

basins. Our multi-client investments are becoming an increasingly important part

of our business both in terms of return on capital invested and improved

adoption," says CEO of EMGS, Bjarte Bruheim.

For the full year 2014, EMGS had revenues of USD 198.0 million, an EBITDA of USD

61.0 million and net income of USD 27.9 million.

The negative market sentiment for the oil service industry creates a challenging

environment with increased uncertainty. EMGS has a strong balance sheet and can

utilize its flexible cost structure to adjust its cost level to the shifting

market conditions.

Please find the full report for the fourth quarter 2014 enclosed. The

presentation of the results will start at 10:00 am CET and the presentation

material will be published at 09:30 am CET.

data acquisition to processing and interpretation. The company's services enable

the integration of EM data with seismic and other geophysical and geological

information to give explorationists a clearer and more complete understanding of
