Commenting on these results, Jean-Georges Malcor, CGG CEO, said:

“In a still challenging market overall, the Group achieved a robust 22% growth in fourth quarter revenue year-on-year, thanks, in particular, to a high level of land equipment sales and the good positioning of our multi-client data library in the strategic basins offshore Brazil and the North Sea. This level of revenue led to positive quarterly operating income for the first time in eight quarters.

After a decline in earnings over the last three years, we recorded a 10% increase in revenue and a 14% growth in EBITDA for the full year 2017, demonstrating the effectiveness and success of our industrial Transformation Plan, particularly the sharp reduction in our cost base.

Following the approval of the safeguard plan in France and the exit from Chapter 11 in the United States at the end of February, our financial restructuring is now finalized. At the closing of the financial restructuring and on a pro forma basis, CGG has a restored balance sheet with a net debt brought back to $631m, corresponding to a leverage ratio at 1.7 times.

Throughout this difficult period, CGG benefited from the continuous support of its clients and the full commitment of its employees and is now ready for a new momentum. With a restored balance sheet, strong technological positions and proven operational excellence, the Group has begun 2018 with renewed confidence and is ready to take full advantage of a rebound in the market.”

Post-closing events

•

January 15^th: Reduction of the share capital from €17,706,519 to €221,331 by reducing the nominal value of the Company’s shares from €0.80 to €0.01

•

January 22^nd: Launch of the capital increase with preferential subscription rights for an amount of €112 million, by way of an issuance of shares of the Company each with one warrant attached (Warrants #2)

•

January 25^th: Trading halt on the Convertible Bonds 2019, the Convertible Bonds 2020, and the Senior Notes on the Euro MTF market, from the opening of the market on February 1, 2018

•

February 9^th: Rights issue with preferential subscription right (PSR) of €112 million (including share premium) was fully subscribed

•

February 21^st: Completion of the financial restructuring with settlement-delivery of all securities and instruments.

The financial restructuring with settlement-delivery of all securities and instruments will result in a c. $0.75 billion gain in our consolidated statement of operations. In addition, the equity will increase by c. $1.3 billion through the issuance of new shares (coming from the equitization of the unsecured debt, the rights issue and the future exercise of warrants #3, coordination warrants and backstop warrants), to reach a total equity increase of c. $2.05 billion.

Emergence from Chapter 11 for the fourteen guarantor subsidiaries the very same day

Going concern

The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2017 were approved by the Board of Directors on March 8, 2018 on a going concern basis.

The main steps of the implementation of the restructuring plan were implemented successfully and the legal proceedings that have been initiated relating to the French safeguard procedure and to the US Chapter 11 procedure are terminated. On February 21, 2018, CGG finalized the implementation of its financial restructuring plan, which meets the Company’s objectives of strengthening its balance sheet and providing financial flexibility to continue investing in the future. This plan comprised (i) the equitization of all the unsecured senior debt, (ii) the extension of the maturities of the secured senior debt and (iii) the provision of additional liquidity (c. $305m after partial repayment of the secured senior debt) to meet various business scenarios.

The Board of Directors considered that (i) the Group no longer faces material uncertainties that may cast doubt upon its ability to continue as a going concern and that (ii) the Group’s liquidity and cash flow are sufficient to meet our expected cash requirements until at least December 31, 2018.

Having considered the above, the Board of Directors concluded that preparing the December 31, 2017 consolidated financial statements on a going concern basis is an appropriate assumption.

First time application of IFRS 15

Revenue recognition for multi-clients original participants contracts (formerly ‘pre commitments’) has been subject to an in-depth analysis of the industry practice and of the multi-client business model with CGG’s auditors. In line with what was disclosed recently by other seismic players, a preliminary analysis, based purely on IFRS 15 form and applied to present contracts letter, is showing that there is a high risk that all the revenues related to multi-clients original participants contracts would have, under the new norm, to be recognized only at delivery of the final processed data, which may be more than one year after acquisition of the data. Subject to certain contractual documentation improvement and clarifications, CGG supports the conclusion that original participants contracts are services contracts for which revenue should be recognized over time based on data acquisition and processing progress of the survey, continuing the accounting for pre commitments under current industry practice prior to the adoption of IFRS 15 in 2018. Such conclusion has been shared and discussed with other seismic players. However, this conclusion has not yet been endorsed by the auditors and the regulators of the financial markets where CGG shares are publicly traded.

As a reminder, the revenues related to multi-clients original participants amounted to $269m in 2017.

Contractual Data Acquisition Total Revenue was $42 million, down 19% year-on-year and 58% sequentially.

•

Contractual Marine Data Acquisition revenue was $10 million, down 72% year-on-year and 86% sequentially

Our vessel availability rate was 82% due to weather standby. This compares to 90% in the fourth quarter of 2016 and 99% in the third quarter of 2017. Our vessel production rate was 97%. This compares to 97% in the fourth quarter of 2016 and 96% in the third quarter of 2017.

The decrease in revenue can mainly be explained by the higher dedication to multi-client surveys, as 75% of the fleet was dedicated to multi-client programs versus 38% in the fourth quarter of 2016 and 33% in the third quarter of 2017.

•

Land and Multi-Physics Data Acquisition revenue was $32million, up 92% year-on-year and 14% sequentially. Land and Airborne continued to increase slightly this quarter, in line with the trend seen in Q3.

Contractual Data Acquisition EBITDAs was $(26) million.

Contractual Data Acquisition Operating Income was $(33) million. Contractual Data Acquisition activities continued to suffer from a competitive market and were further impacted by delays and weather conditions this quarter.

The equity from investments can mainly be explained by the negative contribution from the PTSC JV in Vietnam this quarter.

Contractual Data Acquisition Capital Employed was down at $0.3 billion at the end of December 2017.

Full-Year 2017 Financial Results

Group Total Revenue was $1,320 million, up 10% compared to 2016. The respective contributions from the Group’s businesses were 62% from GGR, 16% from Equipment and 22% from Contractual Data Acquisition.

Group EBITDAs was $372 million, a 28.2% margin, and $186 million after $(186) million of NRC. Excluding NOR, and to focus solely on the performance of our active Business Lines, Group EBITDAs was $387 million.

Group Operating Income was $(77) million, a (5.8)% margin, and $(264) million after $(186) million of NRC. Excluding NOR, and to focus solely on the performance of our active Business Lines, Group Operating Income was $(43) million.

•

GGR operating income margin was at 15.9%. Multi-Client sales reached $469 million, up 22%, with a cash prefunding rate of 107%. Our highest marine multi-client sales were made in Brazil, the North Sea and Gulf of Mexico. The depreciation rate was 63% leading to a Net Book Value of $831 million at the end of December.

Subsurface Imaging delivered a resilient performance: we maintained our market share. While reservoir businesses were impacted by clients’ capex cut.

•

Equipment operating income margin was at (14.9)%. Despite very efficient cost management and manufacturing flexibility, profitability was impacted by very low volumes.

•

Contractual Data Acquisition operating income margin was at (31.7)% due to weak pricing conditions in Marine, despite our fleet’s good operational performance with a high production rate at 97%. 52% of our fleet was dedicated to the contractual market as we executed two large contracts with high-end multi-source vessel setup. Positive impact of lower marine cost base in 2017 was partly offset by the non-recurrent R&D tax credit received in 2016. Land acquisition suffered from delays in Algeria and early termination in Angola.

•

NOR operating income was at $(34) million.

Equity from Investments contribution was $(20) million, mainly explained by the negative contribution from the PTSC JV (in Vietnam) and Global Seismic Shipping (GSS) JV.

Total non-recurring charges (NRC) were $186 million:

•

$102 million of Financial Restructuring costs

•

$84 million of Group Transformation Plan charges, mainly related to Global Seismic Shipping set up

Net financial costs were $207 million:

•

Cost of debt was $211 million, including $21 million of accelerated amortization of historical issuing fees. The total amount of interest paid was $85 million, as we suspended most coupons payment during the financial restructuring

•

Other financial items were positive at $4 million

Income Taxes were $24 million.

Group Net Income was $(514) million after NRC.

After minority interests, Net Income attributable to the owners of CGG was a loss of $(515) million / €(459) million. EPS was negative at $(11.18) / €(9.96).

Cash Flow

Cash Flow from operations was $299 million before NRC, compared to $522 million in 2016. Cash Flow from operations was $198 million after cash NRC.

Global Capex was $335 million, down 15% year-on-year:

•

Industrial capex was $50 million, down 24% year-on-year

•

Research & development capex was $34 million, stable year-on-year

•

Multi-client cash capex was $251 million, down 15% year-on-year

After the payment of interest expenses and Capex and before NRC, Free Cash Flow was $(96) million compared to $(7) million in 2016. After cash NRC, Free Cash Flow was $(197) million.

Balance Sheet

Group gross debt was $2.955 billion¹ at the end of December 2017. Available cash was $315 million and Group net debt was $2.640 billion.

The Group’s liquidity amounted to $315 million at the end of December 2017.

Leverage ratio and interest cover ratio are not applicable as of December 31, 2017 as a result of the French safeguard procedure and US Chapter 11 procedure.

¹	After completion of the financial restructuring, the financial debt decreases from $2,955 million as of December 31, 2017 down to $1,205 million as of February 21, 2018
