Group Operating Income at $16m

PARIS--()--Regulatory News:

CGGVeritas (Paris:GA) (NYSE:CGV) announced today its non-audited second quarter 2011 consolidated results. All comparisons are made on a year-on-year basis unless stated otherwise. All second half 2010 results are reported before restructuring and impairment.

  • Group Revenue was $750m, up 16% year-on-year and 3% sequentially.
  • Group Operating Income was $16m:
    • Sercel continued to deliver strong performance with Operating Income at $76m, a margin of 29%.
    • Services Operating Income was a loss of $29m mainly related to North American seasonality in Land, operational interruptions and continued overcapacity in the marine market.
      Multi-client marine and Processing & Imaging contributions were particularly strong.
  • Net Income was negative at $38m, including one-off $17m refinancing costs.
  • Net Free Cash Flow was negative at $7m this quarter and positive at $58m for the first half of the year.
  • Net Debt to Equity ratio was 40%.
  • Debt maturity was extended to 2021 and Term Loan B was fully repaid with the issuance of our $650 million Senior Note.
  • As planned in our Performance Program, following their upgrades, the Oceanic Phoenix and Oceanic Endeavour returned to operations. Our ship management partnership with Eidesvik was established and a support vessel charter agreement with Bourbon was signed. The Commander was decommissioned at the end of May.
    BroadSeisTM, our advanced marine solution continued to see growing acceptance, and we further developed our newly established commercial joint ventures.
    Our cost reduction program is progressing well in the context of rising fuel cost and the weakening US dollar.
  • Backlog as of July 1st sequentially strengthened, up 7% to $1.31 billion.

Post Closing Events:

  • Strategic agreement signed with Spectrum, a Norwegian multi-client company, for the contribution by CGGVeritas of our 2D Multi-client marine library for a consideration in cash and a 25% equity position in Spectrum.

CGGVeritas CEO, Jean-Georges Malcor commented:

“During the quarter, Sercel delivered excellent performance and Services, despite the impact of Land seasonality, continued to see the signs of a progressively strengthening second half of the year.

North American Land activity was seasonally low as we repositioned our crews from Canada and the Arctic to the lower 48 for an expected robust summer campaign. Increasing demand for our marine multi-client data in advance of the announced Gulf of Mexico and Brazil lease sales was confirmed, a promising trend for both future multi-client sales and the progressive balancing of over-capacity in marine.

Our performance plan is progressing well in a context that remains impacted by rising fuel cost and a weakening US dollar. We continued to manage our balance sheet proactively with the significant extension of debt maturity, and in the first half of the year generated positive net free cash flow.

Looking forward, we expect Sercel to continue to deliver strong financial performance and, while difficult conditions remain in the marine market, Services should benefit from our performance program and from the increasing demand for multi-client data in the second half of the year and particularly near year-end.”

Sercel

Year-on-year, revenue was up 8% in $ (down 4% in €). Sequentially, revenue moderated down 3% from a record first quarter. Operating margin was 29% compared to 27% margin in the second quarter of 2010 and 34% in the first quarter 2011. While operating margin was sequentially lower in the context of a weakening US dollar, Sercel full year perspectives remain strong and unchanged.

Land equipment sales remained at high levels on demand for increasing channel counts and regional activity especially in Europe and the Middle East. In marine equipment, lower sales of streamers this quarter were partially compensated by strong sustained demand for our SeaRay® Ocean Bottom Cable technology. Internal sales represented 19% of total revenue.

Services

Year-on-year, revenue was up 16% in $ (4% in €). Sequentially revenue was relatively stable.

  • Marine contract revenue was up 24% year-on-year in $ (12% in €). Sequentially, revenue was up 22%, with a higher vessel availability rate1 of 92% and production rate2 of 85% while operational performance remained impacted by maritime interruptions and operational incidents. The Oceanic Phoenix and Oceanic Endeavour returned to operations with their enhanced configuration following upgrades and sea trials. The Commander was decommissioned at the end of May and our new build X-BOW Oceanic Sirius vessel is on schedule to be delivered in early October. Our wide azimuth contract in Mexico was further extended until mid-December. BroadSeisTM commercial take-up expanded into new complex geological areas including the salt structures in the deep water offshore Gabon.
  • Land contract revenue was up 2% in $ year-on-year (down 12% in €). Sequentially revenue was down 49% from the record first quarter as our Arctic crews demobilized and activity in the Middle East and North Africa was tempered by the unrest earlier in the year. The Land summer campaign is expected to be robust in the lower 48 and the further development of both high-channel count surveys and the OBC market is confirmed particularly in the Middle-East.
  • Processing, Imaging and Reservoir revenue was up 13% year-on-year in $ (2% in €). Sequentially revenue was up 7% on continued advanced technology leadership. The early processing of our BroadSeisTM surveys show very promising results both for our contract and multi-client surveys. During the quarter multiple dedicated center contracts were extended.
  • Multi-client revenue was up 14% year-on-year in $ (2% in €). Capex was at a low point this quarter at $45 million (€31 million), with prefunding at $27 million (€18 million), a rate of 59%. The amortization rate averaged 49%, with 56% in land and 47% in marine. Net Book Value of the library at the end of June was slightly down at $596 million (€412 million).

Multi-client marine revenue was up 31% in $. Capex was low at $12 million (€8 million). Prefunding was $11 million (€8 million), a rate of 97%. After-sales worldwide strengthened sequentially to $67 million (€47 million) as demand for Brazil, North Sea and Gulf of Mexico picked up ahead of lease sales scheduled for the end of the year.

Multi-client land revenue was down 19% in $, following reduced Capex at $33 million (€23 million) and adverse weather conditions in the US over our new programs during the quarter. Prefunding was low this quarter at $15 million (€10 million), a rate of 46%. After-sales were $11 million (€7 million).

1 - The vessel availability rate, a metric measuring the structural availability of our vessels to meet demand; this metric is related to the entire fleet, and corresponds to the total vessel time reduced by the sum of the standby time, the shipyard time and the steaming time (the “available time”), all divided by total vessel time.

2 - The vessel production rate, a metric measuring the effective utilization of the vessels once available; this metric is related to the entire fleet, and corresponds to the available time reduced by the operational downtime, all then divided by available time.

Group EBITDAs was $152 million (€105 million), a margin of 20%.

Group gross debt was up to $2.013 billion (€1.393 billion) at the end of June 2011.
