  • o Weaker multi-client after-sales after strong Q2
  • o High multi-client prefunding rate at 79%
  • o Reported Group EBIT at \$73.2 million
  • o Group EBIT margin at 10.4% before NRFI (8.1% reported)
  • o Net income of \$4 million

End of September Revenue up 14% and EBIT at \$350 million**

  • o Group revenue at \$2.810 billion, up 14%
  • o Revenue down 21% in Equipment, up 28% in Acquisition and up 40% in Geology, Geophysics & Reservoir (GGR)
  • o Reported Group EBIT at \$352.6 million and Group EBIT margin at 12.5%, 26.3% in Equipment, 6.6% in Acquisition and 25.0% in GGR
  • o Net income of \$119 million corresponding to an EPS of \$0.64 (€0.49) up 56%

  • o Group EBIT margin expected to be up and between 12%-13% including a 28% EBIT margin for the Equipment Division
  • o Multi-client capex revised up to \$450-\$500 million with a prefunding rate expected above 75%
  • o Industrial capex targeted at \$300-\$350 million
  • o Positive free cash flow generation, before Fugro Geoscience transaction negative cash elements
  • o Improved Return On Capital Employed

CGG CEO, Jean-Georges Malcor, commented:

"After a solid H1, which was better than expected, we are now seeing a tougher H2 due to a temporary weakness in demand for seismic equipment and softer contract marine market conditions. At the end of September, our revenue was up 14% with an EBIT margin of 12.5%. Although our Q4 performance, driven by equipment and multi-client sales, will be typically stronger than Q3, we now expect our full year 2013 revenue to be up 15% to 17%. The 2013 EBIT margin should however increase year-on-year and

*Before the Q3 \$(21)m non-recurring items related to the Fugro Geoscience transaction (NRFI) **Before the 3Q \$3m NFRI

remain high between 12% and 13%, thanks to good operational performance and cost management.

Looking ahead into 2014, CGG should continue on its path of profitable growth. The successful launch of Sercel's 508XTsystem, representing a step-change technology in land acquisition technology and the confirmation of tenders for land acquisition mega crews in H2 should enable Equipment division to grow. In Acquisition, the recent award of large marine contracts in Angola and Mexico, as well as an expected solid North Sea season give us confidence into 2014. GGR should continue to increase its level of activity and deliver high profitability thanks notably to its high-end technologies in Geology, Subsurface Imaging, Reservoir Characterization and well prefunded multi-clients programs."

Capital Employed (in billion \$) - 0.8 0.9

Equipment division Total Revenue was \$223 million, down 21% compared to the third quarter of 2012 and down 12% sequentially due to temporary weakness in seismic equipment which represented 34% of total revenue. External sales were \$187 million, down 15% and internal sales represented 16% of total revenue. Sales were strong in Eastern Europe and Russia.

In September Sercel successfully launched the 508XT , its new-generation land acquisition system. The 508XT will have the ability to address increasing industry demand for land Mega-Crews to record up to 1 million channels in real time and improves data quality through real time quality control and second generation MEMS sensors three times quieter than any existing sensor. It will also lead to increased productivity through zero downtime with reinforced redundancy systems and efficient operational cost management with 30% lighter equipment and the need for 25% less crew. Finally, it will contribute to safe and environmentally friendly operations.

Equipment division EBITDAs was \$63 million, a margin of 28%.

Equipment division EBIT was \$51 million, a margin of 23%. The reduced margin is mainly due to stable operating costs (R&D and SG&A) facing lower revenue.

Equipment division Capital Employed was \$0.9 billion at the end of September 2013.

Acquisition division Total Revenue was \$568 million, up 8% year-on-year and down 6%, sequentially with a strong operational performance by Marine acquisition and lower land acquisition revenue. External revenue was \$423 million.

Marine Acquisition revenue was \$462 million, up 28% year-on-year and down 10% sequentially. 22% of the fleet was dedicated to multi-client programs. Utilization rate was at a high level this quarter for the whole fleet with availability rate at 89% and a production rate at a historically high level at 94%.

During the quarter, CGG was notably awarded a BroadSeisTM contract by PETRONAS to acquire and process a 10,000km2 3D seismic survey program offshore Malaysia. CGG also received a letter of award for a large high-end BroadSeis wide-azimuth acquisition program in Angola corresponding to a 1,484 km2 acquisition program. CGG has also been recently selected to acquire the phase 5 of the Pemex's Centauro program in Mexico which will add another 6,850 km2 of data to the existing 25,000 km2 acquired since the launch of the program in October 2010, bringing the total volume to almost 32,000 km2 .

Land and Airborne Acquisition revenue totalled \$106 million, down 37% year-onyear and up 10% sequentially. This decrease y-o-y is mainly due to the transfer of our shallow water and OBC/OBN activity into the Seabed Geosolutions JV. The situation in North Africa is slowly improving. The Airborne organization joined CGG on the 2 nd of September.

Acquisition division EBITDAs was \$115 million, a margin of 20%.

Acquisition division EBIT was \$42 million (before NRFI), a margin of 7%. Marine acquisition delivered a strong operational performance with a record production rate. Land profitability has slightly improved.

Acquisition division Capital Employed was \$3.4 billion at the end of September 2013.

Geology, Geophysics & Reservoir (GGR)

GGR Division Total Revenue was \$298 million, up 24% year-on-year and down 19% sequentially with lower multi-client after-sales as expected.

  • Multi-client and basin data revenue increased to \$145 million, up 24% year-onyear and down 33% sequentially with low after-sales after a strong second quarter whereas the cash prefunding rate was 79%, higher than expected.
  • o Prefunding revenue was \$97 million. Multi-client cash capex was \$125 million, 79% prefunded and mainly focused offshore in the North Sea but also in the Gulf of Mexico with the continuation of our IBALT program. CGG delivered on schedule the Fast TraxTM TTI RTM processed data from

its IBALT broadband full-azimuth survey covering over 5,000 km2 (221 blocks) in the Keathley Canyon area of the Gulf of Mexico. CGG also successfully completed a second BroadSeisTM multi-client survey offshore Norway located in the southeastern part of the Barents Sea. Following a very strong Q2, after-sales were at a low level.

Subsurface Imaging & Reservoir revenue was \$153 million, up 25% year-on-year and stable sequentially. Demand for imaging and reservoir characterization activities remained strong. CGG and Baker Hughes signed a letter of intent to realign the firms' joint venture VSFusion to focus on microseismic monitoring, processing, visualization and interpretation as well as microseismic permanent monitoring. The joint venture, now called Magnitude, strengthens the capabilities of Baker Hughes and CGG in unconventional resource plays and other emerging markets.

Group EBIT was \$352.6 million up 26%, a margin of 12.9%. Before the non-recurring impact of the Fugro Geoscience deal, Group EBIT was \$350.3 million, a margin of 12.5%:

  • Facing the \$69 million net capital gain from SWOBS transaction (\$85 million capital gain reduced by the year-to-date negative contribution of the Seabed Geosolutions JV due to a slow start and operational issues on one project), the restructuring costs amounted \$(66) million: \$(50) million in Q1, \$(11) million in Q2 and \$(5) million in Q3. The NFRI were \$3 million at the end of September.
  • Equipment EBIT margin was at 26.3% showing a strong resilience despite the lower sales volume thanks to efficient cost management.
  • Acquisition EBIT margin (before NRFI) was at 6.6% mainly due to an excellent marine production rate at a record level of 93%, while land was gradually recovering in still challenging safety conditions.
  • GGR EBIT margin was at 25.0% driven by a solid multi-client activity and a strong prefunding rate at 70%. The performance of Subsurface Imaging & Reservoir remained high with fair market conditions. Reservoir and geology activities continued to be solid driven by sustained demand for complex geologies projects.

* Starting January 1, 2013, CGG applies IAS19 revised - Employee benefits. As the application of this new standard is a change of accounting policy, all comparative financial information has been restated to present comparative amounts for each period presented as if the new accounting policy had always been applied. The adjustments resulting from the immediate recognition of past services costs were as follows as of December 31, 2012: Increase in employee benefit liability of U.S.\$15.9 million, decrease in retained earnings of U.S.\$(10.0) million and decrease in deferred tax liability of U.S.\$(5.9) million.

UNAUDITED ANALYSIS BY OPERATING SEGMENT

We previously reported our results on the basis of two segments: Geophysical Services and Geophysical Equipment. As a result of the acquisition of the Fugro's Geoscience Division, we changed our organization, as well as the way management measures our performance. Since February 1, 2013, we have been organized in three Divisions:

  • Acquisition segment, which comprises the following business lines:
  • Marine acquisition: seismic data acquisition offshore undertaken by us on behalf of a specific client;
  • Land and Airborne: other seismic data acquisition undertaken by us on behalf of a specific client;
  • Geology, Geophysics & Reservoir ("GGR") segment which comprises the following business lines:
  • Multi-clients, basin data and Data Management: seismic and geological data undertaken by us and licensed to a number of clients on a non-exclusive basis and data management services;

— Imaging and Reservoir: processing and imaging of geophysical data and reservoir characterization.

Equipment segment, which we conduct through Sercel, comprises our manufacturing and sales activities for seismic equipment used for data acquisition, both on land and marine.

Financial information by segment is reported in accordance with our internal reporting system and provides internal segment information that is used by the chief operating decision maker to manage and measure the performance.

We also changed our main performance indicator from operating income to earnings before interest and tax ("EBIT"). We define EBIT as operating income plus our share of income in companies accounted for under the equity method. EBIT is used by management as performance indicator because it captures the contribution to our results of the significant businesses that we manage through our joint-ventures.

Prior period segment disclosure has been restated to reflect the new segments.
