Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS commented: "Our seismic vessel utilization reached
79% in Q4, up from 73% in the previous quarter. I am pleased that we have
established an attractive portfolio of multi-client projects offshore Brazil
focusing on the equatorial margin and the Pelotas basin, with strong client
support. Early in Q4 we deployed our third Ramform Titan-class vessel for multi-
client work offshore Brazil, and we expect to maintain half of our streamer
fleet in the region well into 2026. We enter 2026 with strong market position, a
leaner cost base, and a robust balance sheet, having reduced net interest-
bearing debt to approximately USD 430 million."
TGS will release its Q4 2025 results at 07:00 a.m. CET on 12 February 2026. CEO
Kristian Johansen and CFO Sven Børre Larsen will present the results at 09:00
