Q1 was another strong quarter for Magseis with USD 21.1 million in revenue, EBITDA of USD 8.3 million and a net profit before tax of USD 4.3 million. This demonstrates the efficiency of our operation in the Red Sea and robustness of our equipment as well as the very good cooperation with our partner BGP and Saudi Aramco. Based on this performance, we were awarded the S-78 Extension which is now well underway. The preparations for the Conoco- Phillips Ocean Bottom Seismic (OBS) 4D project on the Eldfisk Field in the southern North-Sea are progressing well and we are on plan with respect to building new equipment and recruiting staff for this mobile ”smart- operation.” The Eldfisk project represents a step change

Idar Horstad - CEO Magseis

CEO STATEMENTSin OBS operations with a set up that reduces the cost of OBS data significantly for our customers. This lowers the adoption barrier and will result in an expansion of the customer base and a larger market.

During the first quarter we successfully raised USD 40 million in new equity in a process that was met with significant interest from investors. We are very pleased to see that most of our existing shareholders participated in the new funding and welcome our new shareholders. The new capital will, in combination with additional funding, allow us to expand our capacity by 10,000 new MASS nodes, rig a new high capacity cable handling vessel and continue to improve our technology to provide new innovative and cost efficient solutions to our clients.

The preparations for our new cable vessel are progressing well. We have placed orders for long lead items and started to recruit additional staff. More than 20 different ship owners were invited to participate in the tender process and final negotiations are ongoing. We expect to announce the new charter party before the summer. The new vessel will have a capacity to handle up to 1,000 km of cable, more than 10,000 nodes and have permanent ROV capability onboard. This vessel represents a game changer for the OBS market and a significant step towards our Vision: To re-shape the Ocean Bottom Seismic Market.

OPERATIONAL COMMENTS

The Artemis Athene crew’s good performance has continued into 2017 with the second half of the survey being completed ahead of schedule despite the shorter operating window and more challenging weather condi-tions resulting from wintertime operations. The last part of the survey also comprised the most challenging areas with large seabed variations rapidly changing from very shallow to very deep water in-between numerous islands. Close cooperation with the BGP crew was maintained at all-times and operational challenges were dealt with in a professional and efficient manner.

The performance of our MASS technology in these conditions has been excellent and demonstrates the robustness of the system.

Athene ended the quarter preparing for a scheduled annual vessel classing and looking ahead to the upcoming S-78 Extension which offers very similar conditions as the current S-78 survey.

A lot of preparation work has gone into building a containerized handling system for our new, ROV-based crew. Our plan is to start the ConocoPhillips survey in the second half of June. The addition of a second crew, which can be rigged up or down in a matter of days, adds more flexibility to our operation and allows us to move into complex fields with multiple seabed obstructions and deploy large node spreads using a high-efficiency ROV-based solution. On the ConocoPhillips project we use vessels that our client already has on charter and it will be a very cost-efficient operation.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS REPORT

Revenues Revenues for the first quarter were USD 21.1 million. All revenues were related to the Saudi Aramco survey. In comparison, the revenues for the first quarter of 2016 came in at USD 18.1 million, with multi-client revenue of USD 1.9 million.

Operational costs Cost of sales in the first quarter was USD 10.0 million compared to USD 13.6 million in the first quarter of 2016. The decrease of cost is primarily due to a reduction of fuel cost which is supplied by Saudi Aramco. In addition Cost of Sales during Q1 2016 included a separate source vessel. Cost of sales for this quarter includes additional costs of USD 1.0 million related to the final part of the late start compensation due under the ongoing contract. The late start compensation is amortised across the duration of the ongoing contract. Selling, general and administration expenses (SG&A) and other expenses in the first quarter amounted to USD 2.0 million, compared to USD 1.9 million in the first quarter of 2016.

Research and development Research and development (R&D) expenses amounted to USD 0.5 million for the first quarter, which is on a comparable level as the first quarter of 2016. Depreciation Depreciation was USD 3.2 million during the first quarter compared to depreciation of USD 3.0 million in the first quarter of 2016.

AmortisationFirst quarter amortisation of USD 0.1 million was related to other intangible assets only. This compares to USD 1.0 million for the same period in 2016 where the amortisation was related to both the multi-client library and other intangible assets.

ImpairmentFirst quarter impairment of USD 0.2 million was related to equipment damaged during the ongoing survey. This compares to a USD 0.05 million impairment for the same period in 2016.

EBITDA and EBIT The EBITDA was USD 8.3 million in the first quarter compared to USD 1.6 million the first quarter of 2016. This increase in EBITDA was driven by a full quarter of contract revenue r and very good vessel performance.

EBIT was USD 4.8 million in the first quarter compared to USD -2.5 million during the same period in 2016. The increase in EBIT relates to the same factors as the increase in EBITDA described above.

Balance Sheet and Cash FlowAs of 31 March 2017, the Group’s equity was USD 91.1 million compared to USD 49.8 million at 31 March 2016. The equity ratio was 71.2% as of end March 2017. Tangibles and intangible assets amounted to USD 54.1 million as of 31 March 2017, compared to USD 49.3 million at the same date in 2016. The investments comprise seismic equipment on board Artemis Athene as well as capitalisation of expenses related to research and development projects per March 2017.

As of 31 March 2017 and 2016, the net value of the multi-client library is zero due to amortisation of USD 0.9 million during the first quarter of 2016.

As of 31 March 2017, current assets amounted to USD 74.0 million compared to USD 26.5 million as of 31 March 2016. Cash and cash equivalents were USD 54.2 million compared to USD 15.2 million as of 31 March 2016 primarily due to the capital raising of USD 40 million conducted in March 2017.

Non-current liabilities increased to USD 14.8 million as of 31 March 2017, from USD 11.2 million at the same date in 2016. This is mainly related to debt financing from Export Credit Norway and Innovation Norway. In addition, funding of an accumulated amount of USD 6.8 million has been received from Shell Global Solutions related to the cooperation agreement for development of a deep-water solution for seismic operations. This funding is recognised as a finance arrangement in the financial statements. The current portion of long-term debt amounted to USD 2.9 million as of March 2017. Current liabilities as of 31 March 2017, amounted to USD 22.2 million compared to USD 14.8 million as of 31 March 2016. The increase is mainly due to increase in accruals

of USD 3.9 million resulting from the operations on the Saudi Aramco Red Sea project. Furthermore, it includes USD 2.1 million in pre-funding from BGP as a short-term loan to assist in the financing of required investments for the same project. In addition, an increase of USD 2.5 million in current tax liability related to operations in Malaysia and Saudi Arabia for corporate tax and withhold-ing tax. Cash flow from operating activities was USD 10.1 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to USD 1.5 million in the same period of 2016. The full quarter of contract revenue resulting from the current survey is the primary cause of the strong operational cash flow. The net cash flow from investing activities amounted to

USD -9.5 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to USD -2.3 million in the same period of 2016.

Cash flow from finance activities was USD 34.6 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to USD 4.6 million in the same period of 2016. The proceeds are related to the share capital increase of net USD 38.5 million, the proceeds from the cooperation agreement with Shell Global Solutions of USD 0.4 million, offset by instalments and interest relating to the loans and finance lease totalling USD 4.3 million.

Employees As of 31 March 2017, Magseis had a total of 85 full-time employees (31 March 2016: 77) including the offshore seismic crew of 46 employees (31 March 2016: 41).

STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL COMPLIENCE

Jan P. Grimnes, Chairman

Jan Gateman, Director and Senior Vice President

Idar Horstad Chief Executive Officer

Bettina R. Bachmann, Non-executive Director

Jan M. Drange, Non-executive Director

Outlook With the award of the S-78 Extension in the Red Sea the back log for Artemis Athene has been extended to well into the fourth quarter of 2017. Based on our unique MASS technology and efficient operations we hope to continue to operate in this region during 2018. Saudi Aramco has announced that they have very ambitious plans for the Red Sea and that this region is a key area for the 2030 transformation plan for the country.

The strong performance has continued into the second quarter, but due to planned yard stays for Artemis Athene and several of the BGP shooting vessels, acquisition did not commence on the S-78 Extension until the end of April. During the third quarter, we should be back to a full quarter of production, not only with Athene but also expanding the scope of our operations with the ConocoPhillips project.

Following the successful capital raising during Q1 2017, the entire Magseis organisation is working hard to deliver on our growth plans and we plan to operate close to

10,000 nodes in the North Sea next summer. Production of equipment and other preparations for our second, ROV-based, crew are progressing well and we are on track to start operations for ConocoPhillips early June 2017. In parallel we are conducting a vessel tender process for our second high-capacity, cable-based, crew. We expect this process to be conducted before the summer and are gearing up the production of equipment for an early Q2 2018 start-up for this crew. Based on the candidates being considered and the requirements that have been set for financing to be provided by the vessel owners we consider our growth plan to be well funded.

The OBS market continues to show its relative strength with a number of tenders ongoing and several larger tenders expected in the months to come. As we expand our capacity into 2018, our industry leading MASS technology and strong operating track record places Magseis in a unique position to capture a substantial share of the OBS market. On this basis, we will work to deliver on our vision to bring down acquisition costs, grow the total OBS market and capture a significant share of this new market

EBIT (Operating Profit) Earnings before interest and tax is an important measure for Magseis as it provides an indication of the profitability of the operating activities. The EBIT margin presented is defined as EBIT (Operating Profit) divided by net revenues.

Backlog Backlog is defined as the total value of future revenue from signed customer contracts. Management believes that the backlog figure is a useful measure in that it provides an indication of the amount of customer backlog and committed activity in the coming periods. 2.2 Basis for consolidation The condensed consolidated interim financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of 31 March 2017. Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and ex-pense arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated.

2.3 Significantaccountingjudgements,estimatesandassumptions The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assump-tions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. The account-ing judgements, estimates and assumptions used to prepare the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those used to prepare the 2016 annual financial statements.

2.4 Summaryofsignificantaccountingpolicies The accounting principles used to prepare the condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those used to prepare the 2016 annual financial statements. There are no new standards effective in 2017 that have had a significant impact to the Group’s financial statements.

3. Operating segments The Group is operating in one segment being geophysical surveys with respect to products and services. Accordingly, all significant operating decisions are based upon analysis of the Group as one segment. The financial results from this segment are equivalent to the financial statements of the Group as a whole.
