ASKER, NORWAY (8 October 2019) Based on preliminary reporting from operating units, TGS management expects net segment revenues* for the third quarter of 2019 to be approximately USD 277 million.
Kristian Johansen, CEO of TGS, stated: "We had already announced that pro-forma revenues for Q3 2019 were expected to be in excess of MUSD 250. We are now extremely pleased to be able to deliver our best Q3 sales performance ever, and the second-best quarter in TGS history, with pro-forma net revenues coming in above both our own internal expectations and the average analyst estimate of USD 263 million."
