Petroleum Geo-Services ASA : Fourth Quarter and Preliminary Full Year 2013 Results

LYSAKER (OSLO), Norway, Feb. 13, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

Improved Profitability

Highlights 2013

Revenues of $1,501.6 million, down 1% from 2012
EBITDA of $828.9 million, up 7% from 2012
EBIT of $382.1 million, up 30% from 2012
Group EBIT margin of 25%, up from 19% in 2012
Cash flow from operations of $775.3 million, up 3% from 2012
EPS of $1.11, up 29% from 2012
Record MultiClient late sales revenues
Increased and extended the Revolving Credit Facility
Successful introduction of the new Ramform Titan-class vessels
Breakthrough for new imaging technologies as the multiple benefits of GeoStreamer get better recognised
The Board will propose an ordinary dividend for 2013 of NOK 2.30 per share, up 39% from prior year

"Margins continued to increase in 2013, driven by solid performance from all business areas and the increasing effects of our 2012 Profit Improvement Program. I am pleased to report record MultiClient late sales given the lower MultiClient pre-funding level compared to 2012.

We took delivery of the Ramform Titan in May and the Ramform Atlas in January 2014. These vessels combined with an increasing contribution from the GeoStreamer technology improve PGS competitive advantages and margin differentiation.

We currently have close to 70% of 2014 capacity booked. With the exception of Q1 2014, the latest additions to the contract order book were signed at flat prices compared to the average 2013 level. Full year 2014 guidance is reiterated, however due to the challenging market conditions for work to be performed in Q1 2014 and a relatively high level of vessel steaming, we expect the quarter to be weak as earlier indicated."

Jon Erik Reinhardsen, President and Chief Executive Officer
