Net Debt Development – Targeted Capital Structure

Decreasing net debt towards targeted range (MUSD)

Balance Sheet

IFRS

Dividends

The Board has resolved to maintain the quarterly dividend of USD 0.155 per share

• Ex date 30 October 2025 – payment date 13 November 2025

TGS has returned more than USD 1.6 bn to shareholders through dividends and buybacks since 2010

Outlook

Steeper Decline Curves Requires Increased Investment

  • 90% of upstream oil and gas investment is used to offset production declines not meet demand growth
  • Absent investment in new or existing projects from 2025 oil production would decline 8% p.a. according to IEA
  • Equivalent to loosing more than current production from Brazil and Norway every year for the next 10 years
  • Steeper decline rates requires higher investments to offset them

CEOs Recently Highlighting the Exploration Challenge

"Oil market oversupply is likely to be a short-term issue, with demand from emerging economies set to make meeting global energy demand more challenging in the medium-longer term." Darren Woods, CEO ExxonMobil

"We had a decade... where people didn't explore. It's going to have an impact. If it doesn't happen, there will be a supply crunch."

Amin Naser, CEO Saudi Aramco

"This non-OPEC supply, which today is impacting the market, from Brazil, Guyana and shale oil will plateau, there is a limit to this growth."

Patrick Pouyanne, CEO TotalEnergies

"Discoveries have gone way down, investment in exploration has gone way down but it's not just investment that's the problem, we just aren't finding big reservoirs anymore."

Vicki Hollub, CEO Occidental

3D Streamer Contract Tenders

Value of active contract streamer tenders (USDm)

  • Seasonally low value of outstanding streamer tenders
  • Integrated business model enables TGS to establish long-term agreements and bid selectively
  • Recent uptick in multi-client activity and pre-funding level (not reflected in chart)

OBN Market Development

Acquisition revenues OBN mid to deepwater market OBN acquisition revenues (USDm) mid to deepwater segment

  • 2025 OBN mid to deepwater market revenues expected to be slightly higher than in 2023
  • 2025 market revenues decline 10-12% vs. 2024
  • Commenced tendering process for 2026 summer season
  • More fragmented supply side variable degree of discipline

2025 Guidance

  • Investment of USD 425-475 million (unchanged)
  • Approximately 70% of the investment is expected to be acquired with TGS' own capacity

  • ~USD 135 million

  • Excluding approximately 10 million of integration related capex

MULTI-CLIENT INVESTMENT CAPITAL EXPENDITURES GROSS OPERATING COST UTILIZATION

• Target ~USD 950 million (unchanged)*

  • Expect improved utilization of 3D streamer fleet (unchanged)
  • Lower OBN acquisition activity compared to 2024 (unchanged)
