EMGS recorded revenues of USD 4.3 million in the first quarter of 2018, up from USD 4.2 million reported for the corresponding quarter of 2017. Contract and other sales totalled USD 0.8 million, while multi-client sales amounted to USD 3.5 million. For the first quarter of 2017, contract sales totalled USD 0.7 million, while multi-client sales amounted to USD 3.5 million, net of an adjustment for a share of revenues from joint projects between EMGS and TGS.
The Group applied, for the first time in the first quarter of 2018, IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the full retrospective method which requires a restatement of the previous financials. For contract sales and late sales, there are no effects following the implementation of IFRS 15. The new standard's impact on recognition of multi-client pre-funding revenues has still not been concluded. However, the current interpretation of the new standard within the industry is that multi-client prefunding revenues should be recognised at the point in time when the final product is delivered to the customer and not based on the so-called Percentage of Completion (POC) principle, which was used prior to 1 January 2018.The effects are further described in the Accounting principles under Notes and Definitions - Alternative Performance Measures.
The Company recorded 6.0 vessel months in the first quarter of 2018. In the same quarter last year, the Company also recorded 6.0 vessel months. Vessel utilisation was 37% for the first quarter of 2018. The vessels were allocated 37% to multiclient projects and no time was spent on proprietary work. In the comparable quarter of 2017, the vessel utilisation was 92% and the vessels were allocated 92% to multi-client projects and no time was spent on proprietary work.
Charter hire, fuel and crew expenses totalled USD 4.3 million in the first quarter this year, compared with USD 2.8 million in the first quarter of 2017. The Company capitalised USD 1.7 million in multi-client expenses in the quarter, while USD 1.0 million was capitalised in the first quarter of 2017. In addition, the Company reversed an accrual for Q1 Thalassa vessel lease expenses of USD 1.4 million in the first quarter last year. The charter hire, fuel and crew expenses have increased from USD 5.2 million in the first quarter of 2017 to USD 6.0 million in same period this year when adding back the capitalised multi-client expenses and the vessel lease provision recorded in the first quarter last year. The main reason for the increased expenses is that BOA Thalassa was idle in the first quarter of 2017, while she has been operating in Indonesia in the first quarter this year.
Employee expenses amounted to USD 5.1 million in the first quarter of 2018, down from USD 5.2 million in the same quarter in 2017.
Other operating expenses totalled USD 1.3 million in the first quarter this year. In the first quarter last year, other operating expenses amounted to USD 1.7 million.
Depreciation and ordinary amortisation totalled USD 2.1 million in the first quarter of 2018, up from USD 1.4 million in the first quarter of 2017.The increase is mainly a result of depreciation of the DeepBlue source, which was moved from assets under construction to property, plant and equipment in the third quarter last year.
Multi-client amortisation amounted to USD 2.7 million this quarter, compared with USD 2.3 million in the first quarter of 2017. The Company uses straight-line amortisation for its completed multi-client projects, assigned over the useful life time of 4 years.
Net financial items ended at negative USD 0.8 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared with negative USD 1.0 million in the corresponding quarter last year.

The gain on financial assets totalled USD 2.1 million in the first quarter of 2018, up from a gain of USD 1.0 million in the first quarter of 2017.
Loss before income taxes amounted to USD 12.1 million in the first quarter 2018, compared with a loss before income taxes of USD 10.2 million in the corresponding quarter in 2017.
Income tax expenses of USD 3 thousand were recorded in the first quarter of 2018, compared with an income tax expense of USD 33 thousand in the first quarter of 2017.
Lossfor the first quarter of 2018 amounted to USD 12.1 million, down from a loss of USD 10.2 million in the same period last year.
In the first quarter 2018, net cash flow from operating activities was negative USD 2.9 million, compared with negative net cash flow of USD 0.1 million in the first quarter of 2017. The cash flow from operating activities this quarter was mainly affected by a negative EBITDA of USD 6.4 million and a positive change in trade receivables of USD 7.6 million.
EMGS applied USD 1.9 million in investing activities in the first quarter this year, compared with USD 1.4 million in the first quarter of last year. The Company invested USD 0.2 million in equipment and USD 1.7 million in the multi-client library in the first quarter 2018.

Cash flow from financial activities was USD 0.1 million in the first quarter of 2018, compared with a positive cash flow of USD 0.4 million in the same quarter last year. The positive cash flow this year included proceeds from drawing on the short-term loan from Siem Investments Inc. of USD 1.0 million.
The Company had a net decrease in cash, excluding restricted cash, of USD 4.7 million during the first quarter of 2018. At 31 March 2018, cash and cash equivalents totalled USD 18.9 million, including USD 7.1 million in restricted cash.
Total borrowings were USD 33.5 million at 31 March 2018, up from USD 30.6 million at 31 December 2017 and up from USD 32.3 million at 31 March 2017. This includes the Company's bond loan, which had a carrying value of USD 31.8 million at 31 March 2018, USD 29.8 million at 31 December 2017 and USD 28.4 million at 31 March 2017.

| Utilisation Q1 2018 | Status Q1 2018 | Firm charter period | Period | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BOA Thalassa | 45% | Idle | 1 October 2019 | 3 x 6 months |
| Atlantic Guardian | 30% | In operation | 30 September 2021 | 5 x 12 months |
The Atlantic Guardian was idle until mid-February 2018, after which she conducted a sea trial of the DeepBlue equipment. Following this, the vessel commenced a multi-client survey in the Barents Sea at the beginning of March 2018. The multi-client survey was completed in April 2018.
The BOA Thalassa acquired data on pre-funded multi-client surveys offshore Indonesia from the beginning of January 2018 to mid-February 2018. Following that, the vessel returned to Malaysia.
As of 31 March 2018, EMGS' backlog was USD 3.1 million compared with a backlog of approximately USD 4.5 million at the end of the first quarter 2017. USD 3.0 million of the backlog as of 31 March 2018 is related to pre-funding and late sales, while the remaining USD 0.1 million is related to processing, interpretation and other projects.
On 16 January 2018, the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy announced the awards of new production licenses through the Awards in Pre-defined Areas (APA 2017) licensing round. Based on the offered awards, EMGS realised net uplift revenues of approximately USD 1 million from data-licensing agreements related to the Company's multi-client library in the first quarter of 2018.
On 2March, the Board of Directors of EMGS called for an extraordinary general meeting in the Company to propose a comprehensive refinancing plan (the Comprehensive Refinancing)to the shareholders. The Comprehensive Refinancing consists of two elements; (i) a rights issue (the Rights Issue) with gross proceeds of up to USD 12.5 million, whereof USD 10.0 million is underwritten; and (ii) issuance of a new, fully underwritten convertible bond loan (the Convertible Bond Issue) with a nominal amount of up to USD 32.5 million.
The Comprehensive Refinancing was approved at the extraordinary general meeting (EGM) of the Company held on 23 March 2018.
On 19 April 2018, the Company published a prospectus(the Prospectus) covering; (i) the issuance of the new shares to be issued under the Rights Issue; (ii) the subsequent listing of such new shares; (iii) the issuance of the convertible bonds under the Convertible Bond Issue; and (iv) the subsequent listing on the Oslo stock exchange of the convertible bonds. Following the issuance of the Prospectus, the subscription period under the Rights Issue and the Convertible Bond Issue was initiated on 20 April 2018, with listing of the subscription on the Oslo stock exchange under the ticker "EMGS S" on the same date.
In accordance with the time schedule published by the Company in connection with the Comprehensive Refinancing, the trade in the subscription rights on the Oslo stock exchange ended on 2 May 2018, and the subscription period will end on 4 May 2018. The Rights Issue and the Convertible Bond Issue are expected to be completed with the registration of the new shares and delivery of the convertible bonds on 15 May 2018.
On 20 April, the Company announced that it had called, in full, the Company's existing bond, in accordance with the terms of the existing bond and the Company's exercise notification, the existing bond will be repaid in full by the Company at 103% of par value (plus accrued interest) on 7 June 2018.
On 1 May 2018, the Company announced that it had entered into multi-client prefunding and various service agreements. These agreements represent combined revenues of approximately USD 2.2 million. The prefunding revenue is related to 3D CSEM multi-client data surveys in the North Sea using the DeepBlue source. The surveys are expected to be executed in Q2 and/or Q3 2018.
EMGS was listed at the Oslo Stock Exchange in March 2007. During the first quarter 2018, the EMGS share was traded between NOK 2.71 and NOK 5.00 per share. The last closing price before 31 March 2018 was NOK 3.29.
As of 31 March 2018, the Company had a total of 91,428,874 shares outstanding.
EMGS is subject to a number of risk factors, of which the most important isthe demand for EM services. Since 2014, there has been a substantial decline in E&P spending, as a result of a fall in the oil price, and a corresponding sharp deterioration of the market for geophysical services, including EMGS' services.
Through comprehensive cost reduction measures, EMGS has reduced the operational cost base from USD 143 million in 2015 down to USD 42 million in 2017. EMGS continues its cost focus in 2018 and targets a cost base around USD 50 million for 2018, subject to inter alia operational activity.
Based on the Company's low backlog and the current market situation, there is material uncertainty related to the expected level of revenues going forward. EMGS' management follows the Company's liquidity risk closely, including weekly updates of the Company's sales forecast and vessel schedule, in addition to a corresponding update of the cost and free cash forecast. The existing bond loan contains a financial covenant requiring free cash and cash equivalents of at least USD 10 million.
Once completed, the Comprehensive Refinancing will provide the Company with between approximately USD 9.3 million and USD 12.2 million in net proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes. Furthermore, the refinancing and replacement of the Company's existing bond issue through the Convertible Bond Issue will inter alia reduce the USD 10.0 million free cash financial covenant (described above) with a USD 2.5 million free cash financial covenant and replace the current maturity of the existing bond issue in June 2019 with a new maturity date in May 2023. Thus, in aggregate, the Comprehensive Refinancing is expected to materially improve the Company's financial position and secure a longer financial runway.
The ever-changing exogenous factors in the industry will impact the business and risk factors going forward and they represent added uncertainties. In addition, there are risks associated with EM marine operations which might affect the profitability of projects. Examples include: changes in governmental regulations affecting EMGS' markets, technical downtime, adverse weather conditions, licensing and permitting, as well as delays in closing revenue-generating contracts. Reference is made to the Annual Report of 2017 for a further description of otherrelevant risk factors.
The market outlook for oil services is challenging and characterised by high uncertainty. The Company expects market fundamentals to remain weak in 2018. However, EMGS has noted an increase in commercial activity. In particular, the Company is experiencing increased interest and early stage commercial and technical discussions to more and potentially substantial proprietary and pre-funded multi-client acquisitions outside of Norway.
The Company expects that the 24th licensing round will trigger some additional multi-client sales in 2018. Otherwise, sales efforts are ongoing to secure backlog in all regions.
Based on the current operational forecast, EMGS expects to operate two vessels in 2018. The Company expects to keep one vessel in Asia in 2018, while the other vessel is expected to operate in Europe, Africa and the Americas. EMGS will continue to invest in its multi-client library in selected areas. Capital investment plans are limited to maintenance of existing equipment and to the Deep Blue source.

These interim consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as of 31 December 2017, which is available on www.emgs.com.
The Group applies, for the first time, IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers using the full retrospective method which requires a restatement of previous financials. As required by IAS 34, the nature and effect of these changes are disclosed below.
For contract sales and late sales, there were no material effects following the implementation of IFRS 15. The new standard's impact on recognition of multi-client pre-funding revenues has still not been finally concluded. The current interpretation of the new standard within the industry is that multi-client prefunding revenues should be recognised at the point in time when final product is delivered to the customer and not based on the so-called Percentage of Completion (POC) principle, which was used prior to 1 January 2018. As a consequence of the change in POC revenue, the Group has also capitalised multi-client projects with only one customer that were previously expensed as incurred (converted contracts). For these, the full amortisation of the book value is now recorded at the point in time when the revenues are recognised at delivery to the customer.
The Group adopted IFRS 15 using the full retrospective method of adoption. The effect of adopting IFRS 15 is as follows:

EMGS' financial information is prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, EMGS provides alternative performance measures to enhance the understanding of EMGS' performance. The alternative performance measures presented by EMGS may be determined or calculated differently by other companies.
EBITDA means Earnings before interest, taxes, amortisation, depreciation and impairments. EMGS uses EBITDA because it is useful when evaluating operating profitability as it excludes amortisation, depreciation and impairments related to investments that occurred in the past. Also, the measure is useful when comparing the Company's performance to other companies.
