PARIS, France – May 6 th 2015 – CGG (ISIN: 0000120164 – NYSE: CGG), world leader in Geoscience announced today its non-audited 2015 first quarter results.

Commenting on these results, Jean-Georges Malcor, CGG CEO, said:

"Our clients' adjustment to a low oil-price environment and the reduction and delays in their investments, continue to impact our market environment. In this context, our lower revenue reflected, on the one hand, the change in our Group's perimeter and, on the other, the pressure on prices and volumes.

Our Equipment Division maintained its market share with a resilient operational margin. For the Data Acquisition division, the capacity and cost reduction measures we previously announced are well on track. Our GGR Division delivered a good level of operational and commercial performance, with sustained multi-client sales. At Group level, with positive operating income and tight management of our capex, our free cash flow improved significantly year-on-year and our leverage ratio remained stable this quarter.

With low visibility for the coming quarters, and in anticipation of a still difficult context, we remain focused on rigorous implementation of our Transformation Plan and active management of both our cash and our balance sheet."

Post-closing event:

As part of the dynamic management of its debt characteristics and of its balance sheet structure, CGG envisages to propose current 2019 OCEANE holders an exchange offer for new OCEANE (Convertible Bond) with a more favorable conversion strike and an increased coupon, paid by and paying for a one-year extension of the maturity date.

The New OCEANE 2020 would be exchangeable under a 5:2 ratio including notably (i) a strike of €12.86 corresponding to a 1:1 conversion parity, (ii) a coupon increased to 1.75%, (iii) a maturity date extended to January 1st 2020, and (iv) an Issuer Call that could be exercised from January 15th 2017 should the share price be higher than 130% of principal. This operation would take place in the context of a Public Exchange Offer, subject to prior approval by the AMF, to be applied to all of the outstanding 2019 OCEANE which represent a total principal amount of 360 million euros. As the conversion and/or forward swap of the new OCEANE into shares could lead to an increase in the number of shares, representing up to a maximum of nearly 16% of the Company's capital, with an issuing price at €12.86, the Offer project will be submitted as a specific resolution for the prior approval of the next Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on May 29th 2015 (1).

Equipment division Total Sales was \$125 million, down 39% compared to the first quarter of 2014 and down 43% sequentially. Following strong deliveries in Q4 2014, volumes have been particularly low in the beginning of this year, in the context of order delays from our clients notably in the Middle East.

During the first quarter, marine equipment sales represented 43% of total sales. Internal sales have strongly decreased, representing only 9% of total sales compared to 21% in the first quarter of 2014. External sales were \$114 million, down 30% compared to the first quarter of 2014.

Equipment division EBITDAs was \$25 million, a margin of 19.8%.

Equipment division Operating Income was \$14 million, a margin of 11.4%.

Equipment division Capital Employed was \$0.75 billion at the end of March 2015.

Data Acquisition Division Total Revenue was \$296 million, down 47% year-on-year and down 7% sequentially. External revenue was \$217 million, down 39% year-on-year due to the reduction of our marine fleet and of the number of land crews, and deteriorating market conditions.

• Marine Acquisition revenue was \$249 million, down 45% year-on-year and down 11% sequentially. 35% of the fleet was dedicated this quarter to multi-client programs compared to 51% in Q1 2014. Our vessel availability rate was 84% due to high yard and transit time. Vessel production rate was a solid 92% compared to a 93% production rate last year and a 92% rate in the fourth quarter of 2014. With an operated fleet of 11 3D vessels this quarter, the decrease in revenue was due to the impact of the fleet reduction and to deteriorating market conditions.
• Land and Multi-Physics Acquisition revenue was \$47 million, down 56% year-onyear and up 23% sequentially. The revenue decrease versus 2014 is wholly due to the reduction in our activity perimeter. The restructuration measures implemented in 2014 and 2015 have translated into a good operational performance of our Land activity.

Data Acquisition Division EBITDAs was \$44 million, a margin of 14.8%.

Data Acquisition Division Operating Income was \$(19) million.

Data Acquisition Division EBIT was \$(18) million. The Seabed Geosolutions JV reported a slightly positive operational result driven by restructuring and improved utilization.

Data Acquisition EBIT after NRC includes \$(16) million of non-recurring items linked to the Transformation Plan.

Data Acquisition division Capital Employed was \$1.5 billion at the end of March 2015.

GGR Division Total Revenue was \$239 million, down 18% year-on-year and down 51% sequentially.

• Multi-client revenue was at \$99 million, down 22% year-on-year in line with the planned decrease of our multi-client investments, and down 67% sequentially following a particularly strong Q4.
• o Prefunding revenue was \$42 million, down 48% year-on-year and down 81% sequentially. Multi-client cash capex was at \$71 million, down 54% year-on-year. Lower prefunding revenue is strongly correlated to our reduction in multi-client investment this quarter. The cash prefunding rate was at 58% against 51% in Q1 2014, with the arrival of a new subscriber on the StagSeis program.
• o After-sales revenue was \$57 million, up 20% year-on-year and down 23% sequentially.
• Subsurface Imaging and Reservoir revenue was \$140 million, down 14% yearon-year linked to higher internal Subsurface Imaging processing activity (StagSeis program) and down 26% sequentially mainly due to the business seasonality.

GGR Division EBITDAs was \$122 million, a 50.9% margin.

GGR Division Operating Income was \$49 million, a 20.3% margin. The division resilience is driven by strong multi-client aftersales and a good performance by Subsurface Imaging and Reservoir (SIR). The multi-client depreciation rate totaled 54%, leading to a Net Book Value of \$984 million at the end of March. At this time, our onshore library represented 13% of our total library and our offshore library represented 87% of our total library.

GGR Division EBIT was \$49 million, a 20.3% margin.

GGR Division Capital Employed was \$2.9 billion at the end of March 2015.
