Outlook

We said we would - build the company

GROWING NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES

accumulated number of employees end of each quarter

AROUND THE WORLD

We said we would – expand into new Geomarkets

Main office North America NSA Opened office in Houston

Main office South America NSA Opened office in Rio

Main office APAC Opened office in Singapore

Main office EAMA HQ in Oslo established

WHY?

  • Reduced transit time increases utilization
  • Closer to our customers in key areas
  • Build backlog/Multi-Client extending ongoing project
  • Faster mobilization reduces cost for our customers
  • Retain crew and equipment in identified regions

We said we would - generate business

Available revenue generating assets

Two projects in 2021 were delayed One project in 2021 was deferred due to technology scope creep

Although we expect to pick up one of the delayed projects in Q1-22 it represents lost 2021 revenue of 40 MNOK which we guided at the beginning of the year.

We said we would – expand our fleet

We said we would – develop our technology

We said we would – develop our technology

Key features

  • Up to 240 hours (about 1 and a half weeks) endurance (2022)
  • Depth rated to 6,000m
  • Wide range of available sensor integrations

Offshore wind value chain overview and description

Accelerating offshore wind development ENABLING RENEWABLES:

Earlier data access

  • Increase confidence and reduce risk from application to construction
  • Reduce time needed for optimizing development solution

Cover the whole wind farm

Increase collaboration Large survey replaces numerous small ones Less resources spent by authorities and developers

>30% cost reduction to client

Increase efficiency Economies of scale

Lower CO2 footprint

Bringing multi-client to wind farming ENABLING RENEWABLES:

Argeo's Multi-Client model

Argeo survey the entire wind park creating high-resolution imaging and bathymetry of the ocean bottom building a digital library.

Continuous margin improvements

Scale up from 5 to 10 assets from 2022 – 2025

increases data ownership potential from dedicated utilization growth from 40% to 60%

20% of capacity utilized for DaaS/MC 300 MNOK investment

Expected return of 2.5 – 3 x investment over 5 years
