OSLO, Norway (10 October 2022) - Based on preliminary reporting from operating units, TGS management expects net revenues for Q3 2022 to be approximately USD 135 million, compared to USD 200 million in Q3 2021. Net POC revenues* are expected to be approximately USD 119 million, compared to USD 61 million in Q3 2021.
Kristian Johansen, CEO at TGS, commented: “With approximately half of revenues made up by late sales, the strong underlying development from the first half of the year continued in the third quarter. Furthermore, I’m pleased to see that cash flow remains robust. The net cash position was close to USD 200 million on 30 September, despite the proceeds for the ION and Prediktor transactions being paid during the quarter.”
TGS will release its Q3 2022 results at approximately 07:00 CEST on 27 October 2022. CEO Kristian Johansen and CFO Sven Børre Larsen will present the results at CEST 09:00 at House of Oslo (the auditorium), Ruseløkkveien 34, 0251 Oslo.

*For the purpose of POC revenues, multiclient revenues committed prior to completion of projects are recognized on a percentage of completion (“POC”) basis. This differs from IFRS reporting where revenues committed prior to completion are recognized when the customers receive access to the finished data.

Preliminary IFRS reported revenue: USD 135 million
- Revenue recognized from performance obligations met during Q3 for completed projects: USD 55 million
+ Revenue recognized under POC during Q3: USD 39 million
= Preliminary net segment reported revenue: USD 118 million
