As we reflect on the first quarter of 2025, I want to share an overview of Argeo's current standing and the broader market conditions affecting our industry. While the year began with a healthy level of operational activity, we also faced significant political headwinds across all three of our primary market verticals: oil & gas, marine minerals, and offshore wind.
Trond F. Crantz stepped down as CEO of Argeo, April 3, and Jan P. Grimnes is currently Executive Chair and Odd Erik Rudshaug is Interim CEO and CFO of the company.
Q1 was a busy quarter for Argeo with two surveys successfully completed and our commercial teams remained highly active in pursuing new opportunities. However, broader geopolitical and economic developments have introduced increased uncertainty across our core markets. In the United States, recent policy reversals have paused several green energy initiatives, stalling progress in the offshore wind segment. Globally, investor confidence in wind projects has softened, leading to postponements.
Similarly, progress in the marine minerals segment has slowed as the UN has formed a new international body to create rules for how these resources can be used. This development has pushed project timelines back by at least a year. Conversely, in April U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order instructing federal agencies to expedite permitting processes for deep-sea mineral projects, signalling renewed interest in strategic resource development.
Meanwhile, the oil and gas market is experiencing reduced activity levels due to declining oil prices. We expect these market conditions to remain throughout 2025. In 2025, most of our business continues to come from the oil and gas sector, where we see an increasing pipeline of projects planned for execution this year and into next.
Argeo Venture completed a project for TotalEnergies late in Q1. While the project delivered high-quality data, it faced some delays due to a prolonged yard stay and technical issues related to the geotechnical survey scope. In response, the decision has been made to broaden our service offerings and include geotechnical sampling capabilities. Towards the end of Q1, Argeo Venture also began work on a new contract in East Africa, which will continue into Q2.
Argeo Searcher completed her multiclient program in Suriname mid-March. The data is currently being processed and prepared for commercialization, with a sales campaign scheduled to launch shortly. The project was well received by local authorities, who expressed satisfaction with both the efficient execution and the excellent quality of the data. Toward the end of the quarter, a new survey contract in South America was secured, expected to run for approximately five weeks.
As announced earlier, Argeo has been named preferred bidder for a four-year ROV & AUV support contract in Brazil, commencing Q4 2026. Documentation work is ongoing, and preparations for execution are underway. This represents an important long-term opportunity that aligns well with our strategic direction.
Argeo is opening up for external sales of our electromagnetic sensor systems, following the realization that our instruments consistently deliver exceptionally high data quality. We are currently in dialogue with potential partners to explore suitable distribution channels. In addition, Argeo is actively seeking partners for further development of our digital platform Argeo SCOPE.
Safety remains paramount, and we are proud to report a total recordable incident rate (TRIR) is Zero, and lost time injuries (LTI) is Zero per million hours calcualtion with over 210,000 exposure hours in this quarter. There are no major non conformances that affect compliance.
This achievement reflects our unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest safety standards across all operations.
On the sustainability front, Argeo continues to focus on reducing our carbon footprint and supporting the energy transition. Our autonomous subsea survey solutions offer a lower-emission alternative to traditional survey methods, reinforcing our role in responsible resource exploration and infrastructure inspection.
Argeo was awarded a new patent during the quarter, further strengthening the protection of our Argeo WHISPER applications. To date, we have secured eight patents in Norway, with all filings aligned with our international patent strategy.
We also advanced the development of Argeo SCOPE, our digital platform for subsea data. Alongside improved data analysis capabilities, the platform now features seamless offshore-to-onshore connectivity. This enhancement enables real-time data sharing and streamlines collaboration between offshore teams, onshore staff, and clients. Argeo SCOPE continues to play a central role in our quality control and data review processes.
In parallel, we are deploying a new version of Argeo LIS-TEN, our proprietary electromagnetic sensing system. The updated version delivers increased sensitivity, improving performance in both marine mineral exploration and the inspection of subsea pipelines and active cables.
Operational performance remains solid, and we are actively bidding and engaging in discussions for new projects through the remainder of the year.
On behalf of the board and leadership team, I extend my thanks to our employees for their commitment, and to our clients and shareholders for their continued trust.

Revenue for Q1 2025 was USD 11.5 million, compared to USD 9.5 million in Q1 2024, and was mainly from the contract with TotalEnergies in Namibia. Revenue in Q1 2025 was negatively impacted by Argeo Searcher operating on a multiclient program in Suriname with no pre-funding.
Cost of sales in Q1 2025 was USD 10.2 million, compared to USD 5.3 million in Q1 2024. Main reason for the increase is operating two vessels in Q1 2025 compared to one vessel in Q1 2024. USD 4.2 million of operating costs were capitalized as multi-client expenses in the quarter.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased from USD 1.2 million in Q1 2024 to USD 1.5 million in Q1 2025. The change is mainly due to build-up of the organization to handle more activity in 2024 and 2025.
EBTIDA was minus USD 0.2 million in Q1 2025, compared to positive USD 2.9 million in Q1 2024.
Depreciation and amortization was USD 2.4 million in Q1 2025, of which USD 0.6 million was capitalized as investment in multiclient in Q1 2025 resulting in net USD 1.8 million. Depreciation and amortization in Q1 2024 was USD 1.8 million. The increase in Q1 2025 is mainly due to an increased asset base, including the new vessel Argeo Venture.
Net financial loss in Q1 2025 was USD 2.2 million and includes currency exchange loss amounting to USD 0.3 million. Net financial gain in Q1 2024 was USD 0.9 million and included USD 2.0 million in currency exchange gain.
Net loss for Q1 2025 was USD 4.2 million compared to a net profit of USD 2.0 million in Q1 2024.
Total non-current assets at the end of the period were USD 81.5 million. Of this, Right-of-use assets amounted to USD 24.9 million consisting of the bareboat charter Argeo Searcher, two Hugin Superior leases and office leases. Property, plant and equipment was USD 42.3 million at the end of the quarter, and is mainly one Hugin 6000 AUV, the Argus USV, the vessel Argeo Venture and lease additions to Argeo Searcher.
Cash and cash equivalents balance was USD 4.1 million at the end of the quarter, compared to USD 0.8 million at year end 2024.
Total liabilities at the end of the quarter were USD 57.2 million, compared to USD 66.4 million at the end of 2024. The decrease is mainly due to a reduction in trade and other payables, and contract liabilities.
In February 2025, the Company completed a private placement of NOK 150 million in gross proceeds through the allocation of 18,750,000 new shares at a subscription price of NOK 8.00 per offer share.
As per 31 March 2025, a total of 1,502,053 options are outstanding in connection with the Company's share option program. 29 000 have a strike price of NOK 41. 1 473 053 options have a strike of NOK 16.

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 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 are building and sustaining a fair, responsible, and attractive workplace

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.
From 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.
