Soft Quarter as Guided – Strong Cash Flow Full Year Guidance Reiterated

Highlights Q1 2014

  • Revenues of \$292.5 million, compared to \$394.8 million in Q1 2013
  • EBITDA of \$138.5 million, compared to \$202.3 million in Q1 2013
  • EBIT of \$45.2 million, compared to \$96.8 million in Q1 2013
  • Group EBIT margin of 15%, compared to 25% in Q1 2013
  • Cash flow from operations of \$182.1 million, compared to \$102.7 million in Q1 2013
  • EPS of \$0.02, compared to \$0.29 in Q1 2013
  • Ramform Atlas delivered and successfully started operations in the North Sea
  • Ramform Sovereign upgraded to GeoStreamer
  • Amended and extended the Term Loan B
  • Established Japanese Export Credit financing for the two last Ramform Titanclass vessels

"Through investments in our Ramform Titan-class new builds, rollout of our unique GeoStreamer technology platform and with our enhanced funding, we have since 2008 repositioned the Company as a leading marine seismic provider, well positioned to deliver attractive returns.

Our full year guidance remains unchanged. Vessel booking is progressing well with close to 80% of the capacity now committed for 2014.

Industry supply growth over the coming years is expected to be moderate due to retirement of older vessels. Our estimate for overall streamer capacity by end 2015 is now 13% lower than anticipated six months ago.

As guided in December 2013, Q1 was weak due to more capacity allocated to MultiClient, a lower MultiClient pre-funding level, seasonally lower pricing in the marine contract market and a high portion of steaming and yard time."

In Q1 2014, total revenues for Petroleum Geo-Services ASA ("PGS" or "the Company") decreased \$102.3 million, or 26%, compared to Q1 2013 mainly due to lower contract and pre-funding revenues, partially offset by slightly higher late sales revenues.

Contract revenues decreased by \$91.3 million, or 44%, in Q1 2014, compared to Q1 2013. The decrease is caused by significantly less capacity allocated to contract work and lower prices achieved due to some industry oversupply of vessels in the quarter. The EBIT margin for marine contract acquisition was approximately 15% in Q1 2014, down from 22% in Q4 2013 and 30% in Q1 2013. The marine contract EBIT margin will fluctuate from quarter to quarter influenced by factors such as vessel scheduling, vessel transits, project specific variables and market conditions.

MultiClient pre-funding revenues in Q1 2014 corresponded to 64% of capitalized cash investments (excluding capitalized interest), compared to 127% in Q1 2013. The Company expects a pre-funding level of approximately 100% for the full year 2014. The lower pre-funding level in Q1 2014 was primarily due to a high share of MultiClient activity in the Gulf of Mexico, where the Company is seeking to expand its footprint, which normally carries a relatively low prefunding level.

Pre-funding revenues in Q1 2014 primarily came from projects in Europe, South America and Africa. Compared to Q1 2013, pre-funding revenues were higher in Europe. The project mix of MultiClient surveys, which is an important factor for the prefunding level, will vary from quarter to quarter depending on the opportunities arising.

Capitalized MultiClient cash investment in Q1 2014 increased by \$43.3 million, or 59%, compared to Q1 2013, reflecting more capacity allocated to MultiClient.

MultiClient late sales revenues in Q1 2014 increased by \$5.9 million, or 10%, compared to Q1 2013 driven by sales in Europe, South America and Africa.

In Q1 2014 external Imaging revenues were up \$0.9 million, or 3%, compared to Q1 2013. The revenue increase is driven by growth in high-end GeoStreamer and depth processing, mostly in West Africa and international markets, with stability in the core North Sea market. All imaging of the Company's MultiClient surveys is done in-house. As the streamer count has increased the imaging resource base and technical competency have expanded to deliver strong external production while continuing to meet internal needs.

Net operating expenses (before depreciation, amortization and impairments) in Q1 2014 were \$38.5 million lower than in Q1 2013, primarily reflecting more costs capitalized to the MultiClient library.

The order book totaled \$610 million at March 31, 2014, (including \$48 million of committed pre-funding on MultiClient projects), compared to \$592 million at March 31, 2013 and \$669 million at December 31, 2013.

Capitalized dev. costs (3.6) (2.8) (16.4)
Net R&D costs 8.8 8.4 38.7

The Company's R&D costs mainly relate to the current core business activities of marine seismic acquisition and processing plus the development and completion of the Company's Towed EM solution.

Q1 2014 gross R&D costs and capitalized development costs were higher compared to Q1 2013, reflecting more Q1 marine seismic field trial activity and increased levels of Imaging R&D. Overall resource levels remain roughly the same.

Depreciation and

Amortization of the MultiClient library as a percentage of MultiClient revenues was 46% in Q1 2014 compared to 45% in Q1 2013. The amortization level can vary from quarter to quarter depending on the MultiClient sales mix.

Gross depreciation increased by \$6.1 million in Q1 2014, compared to Q1 2013. The increase is due to Ramform Titan and Ramform Atlas now being a part of the PGS fleet, vessel upgrades and continued investments in GeoStreamer.

Capitalized depreciation increased by \$13.8 million, or 64%, in Q1 2014, compared to Q1 2013 as a result of more vessel capacity allocated to MultiClient projects in the quarter.

Loss from Associated Companies and Impairment

In Q1 2014 loss from associated companies and impairment of \$15.6 million was driven by Azimuth Ltd., Seafloor Geophysical Solutions ("SGS") and PGS Khazar LLC. A majority of the loss relates to PGS's share of exploration costs expensed by Azimuth Ltd. where PGS has a 45% ownership. In Q1 2014, PGS recognized \$18.8 million of sales of MultiClient data to subsidiaries of Azimuth.

The increase in capitalized interest to the MultiClient library in Q1 2014, compared to Q1 2013 relates primarily to more vessel capacity being allocated to MultiClient.

The reduction of capitalized interest related to construction in progress in Q1 2014 compared to Q1 2013 is due to the completion of Ramform Titan in 2013 and Ramform Atlas in January 2014.

The \$8.8 million recorded in Q1 2014 as fair value adjustments and refinancing cost relates to refinancing of the Term Loan B, where the remaining fair value of interest rate hedges and un-amortized deferred loan cost of the original loan was expensed.

The Company holds foreign currency positions to balance its operational currency exposure. These positions are marked to market at each balance sheet date together with receivables and payables in non-US currencies, generally causing a currency exchange loss when the US dollar appreciates.

Income Tax Expense and Tax Contingencies

Q1 2014 income tax expense was \$8.1 million compared to \$25.4 million in Q1 2013. The current tax expense in Q1 2014 was \$11.4 million compared to \$15.2 million in Q1 2013. The deferred tax in Q1 2014 was a benefit of \$3.3 million compared to a deferred tax expense of \$10.2 million in Q1 2013. The effective tax rate for the current quarter is adversely impacted by losses on investments in associates which are nondeductible, partly offset by tax exempt profit on vessel operations within tonnage tax regimes.

The Company has an ongoing dispute with the tax office of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil related to ISS tax on the sale of MultiClient data relating to years 2000 and onwards. The issue has been disclosed in annual and quarterly reports since 2005. At March 31, 2014, the Company estimates the total exposure to be approximately \$157 million, including possible penalties and interest. Because the Company considers it more likely than not that the contingency will be resolved in its favor, no provision has been made for any portion of the exposure. Deposits of \$94 million were made in 2010 and 2011 to be able to file lawsuits for some of the years, seeking to confirm that sale of MultiClient data are not subject to ISS.

Following a federal tax audit in Brazil for the years 2006-2008, the Company in 2012 received two tax assessments for 2008 claiming approximately \$70 million including interests and penalties. One assessment asserts that seismic vessels do not meet the definition of a vessel and therefore the charters into Brazil are subject to a 15% withholding tax instead of 0%. The second assessment levies a 10% tax ("CIDE") on the same charters. PGS believes the claims are without merit and it is likely to succeed in

achieving a positive decision at the administrative or judicial level. In 2012, the first administrative appeal level ruled in favor of PGS with respect to the withholding tax claim but upheld the CIDE assessment. On July 17, 2013, the second administrative appeal level ruled in favor of PGS with respect to the withholding tax claim. The ruling has been appealed to the third and last administrative level. The CIDE case it still pending before the second level.

1) Includes capital expenditure incurred, whether paid or not.

The main capital expenditures in Q1 2014 were related to the new build program and seismic equipment. Ramform Sovereign was equipped with GeoStreamer in the quarter.

New Builds

In 2011, PGS ordered two Ramform Titan-class vessels from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. In Q2 2013 the Company took delivery of the first vessel, the Ramform Titan. The second vessel, the Ramform Atlas, was delivered late January 2014. Options for two additional vessels, with delivery in 2015, were exercised in Q4 2012.

The cost of each of the two delivered Ramform Titanclass vessels is approximately \$260 million, including commissioning and a comprehensive seismic equipment package, but excluding capitalized interest and post-delivery cost.

The cost of each of the two additional vessels scheduled for 2015 delivery is subject to additional costs related to new technology, both maritime and seismic, certain incentives in the shipbuilding contract, and an inflationary price increase on equipment and project costs.

The agreement with the shipyard provides for payment based on five defined milestones per vessel, with 50% payable at delivery. Seismic equipment is procured by PGS separately from the shipbuilding contract. Accumulated capital expenditures related to the two last Ramform Titan-class new builds as of March 31, 2014 were \$45.4 million.

Liquidity and Financing

In Q1 2014 net cash provided by operating activities was \$182.1 million, compared to \$102.7 million in Q1 2013. The increase is mainly driven by solid cash collection impacting the working capital positively.

At March 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents amounted to \$208.6 million, compared to \$311.6 million at March 31, 2013 and \$263.8 million at December 31, 2013.

Restricted cash amounted to \$97.8 million at March 31, 2014, compared to \$98.1 million at March 31, 2013 and \$89.4 million at December 31, 2013.

The relatively high level of restricted cash relates to deposits made in 2010 and 2011 of approximately \$94 million to initiate law suits with the Rio de Janeiro courts to seek confirmation that sale of MultiClient data in Brazil is not subject to ISS tax (see annual report 2013 for more details). The deposits are denominated in Brazilian Real.

In March 2014 PGS amended and extended its original \$470.5 million Term Loan B maturing in 2015 to \$400.0 million maturing in 2021.

At March 31, 2014, \$400.0 million was outstanding under the new Term Loan B maturing in 2021 and \$450.0 million was outstanding of the Senior Notes maturing in 2018. The \$500.0 million revolving credit facility maturing in 2018 was undrawn.

PGS has established export credit financing totaling \$555.0 million for the four Ramform Titan-class vessels. The loans have a tenor of 12 years from drawing, with repayment in equal semi-annual installments. \$125.0 million was drawn under this facility upon delivery of the Ramform Titan in Q2 2013. Another \$125.0 million was drawn after delivery of Ramform Atlas in Q1 2014. The remaining \$305.0 million will be drawn during construction and/or around delivery of the two remaining Ramform Titanclass vessels, scheduled for delivery in 2015. Of the \$250.0 million already drawn \$10.0 million are repaid and as of March 31, 2014 total export credit financing lines are \$545.0 million.

Total interest bearing debt, including capital leases, was \$1,089.8 million at March 31, 2014 compared to \$921.1 million at March 31, 2013 and \$1,040.8 million at December 31, 2013.

Net interest bearing debt (interest bearing debt less cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and interest bearing loans and investments) was \$760.4 million at March 31, 2014 compared to \$504.5 million at March 31, 2013 and \$666.7 million at December 31, 2013.

At March 31, 2014, the Company had approximately 80% of its debt at fixed interest rates. The weighted average cash interest cost of gross debt reflects an interest rate of approximately 5.6%, including credit margins paid on the debt.

The revolving credit facility contains a covenant whereby total leverage ratio (as defined) cannot exceed 2.75:1. At March 31, 2014 the total leverage ratio was 1.27:1.

Petroleum Geo-Services ASA Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements - First Quarter 2014

Note 1 - General

The Company is a Norwegian limited liability company and has prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the EU. The consolidated condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with international Accounting Standards ("IAS") No. 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". The interim financial information has not been subject to audit or review.

EBIT or "operating profit" means Revenues less Total operating expenses. EBITDA, when used by the Company, means EBIT less other operating (income) expense, impairment of long-term assets and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures from other companies. The Company has included EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it provides useful information regarding the Company's ability to service debt and to fund capital expenditures and provides investors with a helpful measure for comparing its operating performance with that of other companies.

Note 2 - Basis of presentation

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, in the opinion of PGS' management, that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for all periods presented. Operating results for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any subsequent interim period or year. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013 with the exeption of adoption of IFRS10, IFRS 11, IFRS 12, IAS 27 and IAS 28. The adopted standards do not have a significant impact on the condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Note 3 - Segment information

The chief operating decision maker reviews Contract and MultiClient as separate operating segments, however, as the two operating segments meet the aggregation criteria in IFRS 8 "Operating Segments", they are presented combined as "Marine". "Other" includes Corporate administration costs and unallocated Global Shared Resources costs (net). Other financial expense, net and income tax expense are not included in the measure of segment performance.

Quarter ended
March 31,
(In millions of US dollars) 2014 2013 December 31,
2013
Gross depreciation 65.3 59.2 243.9
Depreciation capitalized and deferred, net (35.5) (21.7) (113.2)
Amortization of MultiClient library 63.7 68.2 301.8
Total 93.5 105.7 432.5

The Company amortizes its MultiClient library primarily based on the ratio between cost of surveys and the total forecasted sales for such surveys. The surveys are categorized into amortization categories based on this ratio. These categories range from 30-95% of sales amounts with 5% intervals, with a minimum of 45% for pre-funding. Each category includes surveys where the remaining unamortized cost as a percentage of remaining forecasted sales is less than or equal to the amortization rate applicable to each category.

Year ended

The Company also applies minimum amortization criteria for the library projects based generally on a five-year life. The Company calculates and records minimum amortization individually for each MultiClient survey or pool of surveys on a quarterly basis. At year-end, or when specific impairment indicators exists, the Company carries out an impairment test of individual MultiClient surveys. The Company classifies these impairment charges as amortization expense in its condensed consolidated statements of operations since this additional, non-sales related amortization expense, is expected to occur regularly.

In Q1 2014, the Company recognized \$18.8 million of revenue from MultiClient data licenses to associated companies which is expensed in the financial statements of the associated companies.

A net pension liability of \$10.2 million (projected benefit obligation of \$57.4 million and plan assets of \$47.2 million) was de-recognized in Q1 2014 resulting in a settlement gain, reducing operating expenses, of approximately \$6 million after one-time administration fees and costs credited to MultiClient investment.

In Q1 2014, the Company recognized a restructuring provision of \$1.8 million relating to closure of the office in Edinburgh.
