Petroleum Geo-Services ASA : Fourth Quarter and Preliminary Full Year 2012 Results
OSLO, NORWAY -- (Marketwire) -- 02/14/13 -- Solid 2012 Performance and Increased Dividend
Highlights 2012
* Revenues of $1,518.3 million, up 21% from 2011
* EBITDA of $776.2 million, up 45% from 2011
* EBIT of $293.8 million, up 112% from 2011
* Group EBIT margin of 19%, up from 11% in 2011
* Cash flow from operations of $752.9 million, up 57% from 2011
* Delivered on the Profit Improvement Program
* Financial strength further enhanced by $250 million Japanese export
credit
financing and $150 million add-on to Senior Notes
* Exercised options for two additional Ramform Titan-class vessels
* Substantial technology achievements within Towed EM, permanent
reservoir
monitoring and imaging
* The Board expects to propose an ordinary dividend for 2012 of NOK 1.65
per
share, up 50% from previous year
"2012 performance was strong with operating profit more than doubling from
previous year. The fourth quarter was coloured by some weakness in
MultiClient
late sales, high steaming activity, challenging mobilization and delayed
project
start-ups. The marine seismic market improved during 2012. A stronger
market
combined with our unique GeoStreamer® offering contributed to higher
margins.
Strong client demand for GeoStreamer has secured an attractive order book
well
into the second half of 2013. We look forward to taking delivery of the
first
Ramform Titan-class vessel in April, which will position us even more
favourably
to capitalize on the sustained strengthening trend of the seismic market."
Jon Erik Reinhardsen,
President and Chief Executive Officer
