Financial Analysis Report on CGGVeritas

29 April 2010

Executive Summary CGGVeritas is the world’s largest pure-play provider of geophysical services and products, active in all major regions. Its highly pro-cyclical business has been severely affected by the worsened economic conditions through a reduction in its revenues by -14% in 2009, but still managed to continue its increase in market share to 45% and outperform its main competitors on average. In 2009, cost of goods sold have decreased to -1.1 billion € whilst operating expenses have increased by 41% to 0.5 billion € temporarily stimulated by a restructuring of the fleet, lay-offs and increased research expenses. Overall operational costs have remained unchanged at -1.6 billion € but combined with lower sales lead to negative operating- and net income. Positive economic outlook for 2010 and solid oil & gas prices should see sales increase again. Total assets have decreased but largely driven by asset write-downs from fleet restructuring and legacy multi-client library surveys from Veritas. The relative composition of the balance sheet has however stayed unchanged. The ongoing modernization of the fleet to highly competitive levels will see the company well positioned to benefit from future market growth and consolidate its position. In Q1 2010, the average vessel age reached a low of 11.1 years, vessel availability rate slightly decreased to 92% whilst the vessel productivity rate increased to 90%. Operating cash flow has decreased to 0.6 billion € in 2009 mainly due to the asset write-downs. The 2009 investing cash-flow has remained unchanged over 2008 at level of 0.5 billion € and is expected to stay so over the next years as the company will consolidate its competitive position. A significant portion of debt has fixed payments and is thus not subject to market interest rate movements, although the fixed interest rates paid on debt are much higher than the prevailing market rates. The financing cash flow has steadily stayed at 0.2 billion €. The leverage position is overall stable with the total-debt-to-equity and financial leverage ratios staying unchanged at 0.5 and 1.8 respectively over the last 4 years whilst cash piling up to 480 million € in 2009. At a total debt of 1.4 billion € and financial interest of 108 million € in 2009 the company is well positioned for continued strained financing times. The working-capital-to-assets ratio has slightly increased in 2009 to 0.2 and the current and quick ratios significantly improved to 2.1 and 1.6 respectively. The interest coverage ratio decreased to 6.1 in 2009 after reaching 11.1 in 2008, having a positive outlook though for 2010. Current ratings are unfair and should be adjusted to reflect real situation. Working capital in 2009 has slightly decreased to 873 million €, but is well beyond the almost inexistent short-term financing. Capital employed was reduced to 4.36 billion € in 2009. ROA, ROE and ROCE have been negative in 2009, at -2.9%, -9.1% and -4.5% respectively. At an unchanged financial leverage ratio and only slightly decreasing total asset turnover in 2009, the main impact on the decrease in the ROE has stemmed from the worsening net profit margin. The after-tax WACC has revolved around 9.5% over the last 3 years. EVA has decreased from 2007 to 2008 and been highly negative in 2009 at a level of almost 20% of total equity.

29 April 2010

1 The Geophysical Business 1.1 Introduction CGGVeritas is the leading global international geophysical company delivering a wide range of technologies, services and equipment to a broad base of customers mainly throughout the global oil and gas industry. It is also the largest pure-play company in its field. Its operations are mainly split into geophysical services, including Marine Seismic, Land Seismic and Processing & Imaging, and geophysical equipment, served mainly by the Sercel subsidiary. The services division is highly capital intensive as it is backed by a large fleet of vessels for its marine activities and expensive highly specialized equipment. The clients of the Marine and Land subdivisions are of two categories: contract, receiving exclusive tailor-made services, and multi-client, buying rights to access a general survey library. The main objective of geophysical services is reservoir performance and reduced technical risk.

1.2 The Management and Shareholders Robert Brunck is Chairman and CEO and Stéphane-Paul Frydman the CFO. The company does not have a staggered board, with 8 out of 13 director terms expiring in 2013, which can pose a threat in case of a hostile tender offer. Major shareholders on 31 March 2010 were Jupiter Asset Management (3.87%) and Institut Français du Pétrole (4.23%) the rest (91.9%) being free-float. The company has an internationally spread organizational structure.

1.3 The Strategy CGGVeritas’ main strategy is to continue to strengthen its competitive position in the global geophysical services and equipment markets by capitalizing on growth opportunities resulting from both the application of new technologies, from exploration to production and reservoir management, and from a worldwide presence. It focuses on internal growth by: responding to current market environment (through rigorously reducing costs across the organization by adjusting manufacturing and crew costs in line with the market outlook), developing and providing integrated services (developing synergies between data processing and reservoir services, compiling and analyzing seismic data of existing reservoirs using high-resolution images and 4D seismic expertise to assist its clients in better characterizing and predicting the properties and dynamic behavior of their reservoirs). Another internal strategy is to develop and utilize innovative technologies: through R&D teams, totaling approximately 581 employees, CGGVeritas seeks to improve existing products and maintain an active new product development program in all segments of the geophysical equipment market (land, marine and ocean bottom). We believe that growth in demand for geophysical services will continue to be driven in part by the development of new technologies. The industry is increasingly demanding clearer seismic imaging and better visibility, particularly underneath salt layers. As for external growth strategies, CGGVeritas has been active on the M&A market by multiple acquisitions since 2007 like Vibtech, OHM, Metrolog, Quest Geo Solutions and Cybernetix in the seismic equipment sector, and in the geophysical seismic acquisition with Norfield and the most successful since the Veritas merger: Wavefield Inseis, a Norwegian marine geophysical company providing proprietary data acquisition services and seabed seismic equipment. Wavefield also offers a portfolio of non-exclusive multi-client data to global exploration clients, developed in partnership with oil companies and governments. Page | 2

2 Financial Statements 2.1 Precautionary notes The time interval used in extracting the financials is 2006 to 2009. Due to the January 2007 merger between CGG and Veritas, prior financial statements are not fully comparable with post-merger statements. For 2006 a pro-forma income statement has been released by CGGVeritas accounting for the pre-merger income statement of Veritas, though no balance sheet or cash flow statement. Some balance sheet or cash flow items in this report will hence be adjusted with the respective Veritas items. For the conversion of the U.S. Dollar expressed statements of Veritas and competitors included in this report, the Euro / U.S. Dollar exchange rates published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York were used (Exhibit A.1). The Operating Expenses were adjusted to exclude Depreciation and Amortization (less amortization for Goodwill already stated separately) and a new Income Statement line, after EBITDA, was introduced for this purpose. The Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement as well as their vertically and horizontally common-sized versions are attached to the appendix together with the Managerial Balance Sheet and the table with ratios and other performance figures.

Total sales, of which operating revenues are more than 99.5%, have steadily increased up to 2008, but decreased in 2009 at the same pace due to lower industrial activity globally. CGGVeritas has outperformed its competitors during both the expansion phase, CAGR 14.3% compared to 8%, as well as during 2009, -14% compared to -18%. Estimated market includes top players by sales, i.e. Exhibit 3: Total market sales breakdown by region, in billion € and % CGGVeritas, Westerngeco, PGS and ION Geophysical.1 Since 2006 CGGVeritas has surpassed Westerngeco as the market leader and Asia Pacific America 1.2 continuously gained market share whilst its main 1.7 25% 33% competitor has significantly reduced its share.

CGGVeritas global sales distribution is very similar to that of the overall market, with EMEA being the main market followed by the Americas

Westerngeco is the geophysical division of Schlumberger. In 2009, PGS sold its land division; sales from this division are excluded for prior years. Westerngeco and ION have the same revenue streams as CGGVeritas, except Processing; PGS only operates a marine division.

Sales in the geophysical sector are highly cyclical (Exhibit 7). From 2006 to 2008 the CAGR of world GDP was 5% and that of total sales 37%, whilst in 2009 GDP decreased by -2.6% and total sales by -14%. Since Q4 2008 the correlation between the share price and the spot price of Brent Crude has dramatically increased, 0.7 compared to 0.3 prior to Q4 2008. IMF projects a 2.9% increase in global GDP for 2010 which combined with potentially higher oil prices would positively affect CGGVeritas’ revenues.

Operational expenses have strongly increased in 2009 compared with prior years to -0.5 billion €, whilst the costs of goods sold remained in the usual -1.1 to -1.2 billion € range. The 2009 increase in operational expenses was mainly due to lay-off costs of 300 persons and decommissioning costs of 9 seismic vessels, which were replaced with high-end streamer vessels due to competitive pressures on this segment. Higher research costs, attributable to the business consolidation with Wavefield and higher R&D expenses for the equipment division, also played a role. Overall, 2009 costs have stayed unchanged at -1.6 billion €. Whilst operating income attributable to equipment has halved in 2009, services have entered negative territory leading overall operating income to a negative -161 million € (Exhibit 10), mainly due to the restructuring costs of the fleet. Relative to Westerngeco and PGS, CGGVeritas has usually had lower net incomes, whilst in 2009 it suffered a negative net income. On average, CGGVeritas has been priced at lower P/E ratios compared to its rivals. The industry overall P/E ratio stays fairly around 20, reflecting investors’ relatively high expectations for growth.

2.3 Balance Sheet Total assets in 2009 have declined to 4.9 billion € just above the 2007 level after reaching a peak in 2008, whilst the composition of the balance sheet has stayed almost unchanged from 2006 to 2009 in relative terms. The 2009 decrease is mainly attributed to the restructuring of the fleet and amortizations of intangible assets (on legacy multi-client surveys inherited from Veritas) and goodwill. Lower accounts receivable and inventories are another cause. Assets attributed to services, primarily hit by the former impact, are much higher those attributed to equipment since they represent heavy machinery, i.e. fleet of 18 vessels. Page | 5

CGGVeritas has taken the opportunity in 2009 to restructure its fleet by decommissioning older ships, hereby reducing its average fleet age considerably (Exhibit 16), and equipping or updating existing ones with the latest technology (mainly from its Sercel subsidiary). This has had a negative impact on the asset structure and cash flows but will pay off in the following years as the company has improved its already competitive position. This initiative will continue through 2010 and 2011 as it wall 2 industry benchmark vessels. Although the vessel availability rate (i.e. average capability of vessel to meet demand) has decreased in Q1 2010 to 90%, after a slight increase in 2009, the vessel production rate (i.e. effective utilization of vessel once available) has steadily increased over the last 4 years to reach 92% in Q1 2010.

2.5 Leverage and Operations The company has an overall stable leverage position with the total-debt-to-equity and financial leverage ratios staying unchanged at 0.5 and 1.8 respectively over the last 4 years whilst cash and cash equivalents almost doubling over the same period to 480 million € in 2009. At a total debt of 1.4 billion € and financial interest of 108 million € in 2009 the company is well positioned for continued strained financing times. Also, the working-capital-to-assets ratio has slightly increased in 2009 to 0.2 and the current and quick ratios significantly improved to 2.1 and 1.6 respectively showing that the company is not facing problems in meeting its short-term obligations. A negative sign however comes from the interest coverage ratio which decreased to 6.1 in 2009 after reaching 11.1 in 2008, but given the positive prospectus for 2010 this situation should again improve.

The decrease in the interval measure, caused by a 41% increase in operating expenses and -17% decrease in liquid current assets, may as well be worrying, but since the 2009 increase in operating costs was only temporary the measure should improve in 2010. Operationally, the company should lower its steadily increasing cash conversion cycle and reduce the continuing negative mismatch between the duration of receivables and that of payables. We hence believe that the debt ratings (Exhibit A.12) situated just below investment grade are not funded and should be adjusted in the range of A to BBB according to the rating criteria of S&P.

2.6 Managerial Balance Sheet, Returns and EVA The company had steadily increasing positive working capital between 2006 and 2008 with a slight decrease to 873 million € in 2009, but well beyond its almost inexistent short-term financing. The significant decrease of 523 million € in capital employed to 4.36 billion € in 2009 was mainly caused by asset write-downs.

unchanged level in 2008 and a sudden slide into negative territory in 2009. At an unchanged financial leverage ratio and only slightly decreasing total asset turnover in 2009, the main impact on the decrease in the ROE has stemmed from the worsening net profit margin. This is a sign of the intense competition in the sector and the 2009 economic downturn.

The cost of equity of 13% is based on a bootstrapped empirically estimated beta of the share returns against the world MSCI returns (1.7 in 2009, Exhibit A.13), a historical global risk-free rate of 4.7% and a historical global equity risk premium of 5%.2 The cost of debt is estimated from the interest payments. Using the effective tax rate, the after-tax WACC has revolved around 9.5% over the last 3 years. The difference between the ROCE and after-tax WACC is multiplied with the capital employed to obtain the economic value added. EVA has decreased from 2007 to 2008 and been highly negative in 2009 at a level of almost 20% of total equity. 2
