CGG Announces its 2016 Fourth Quarter & Full-Year Results

Weak volumes in difficult market conditions

 Financial restructuring process engaged

PARIS, France - March 3^rd 2017 - CGG (ISIN: FR0013181864 - NYSE: CGG), world leader in Geoscience, announced today its 2016 fourth quarter and full-year unaudited results.

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

"Our 2016 results reflect a particularly challenging market environment. In this context, we have fully delivered on our Transformation Plan, which we funded through the February 2016 rights issue. We have significantly reduced our cost base and headcount while preserving our commercial positioning and operational excellence. Through strict cash management, the Group's net debt came in at $2.312bn, in line with our objective.

In light of our Q4 results and given the challenging market conditions which persist, we expect 2017 operating results to be in line with 2016; however we expect downward pressure on cash flow generation in 2017 compared to 2016. In this environment and given delays in market recovery, we do not expect our performance to generate sufficient cash flow to service our current level of debt over the years to come. With the approval of the Board of Directors, CGG is therefore entering into a financial restructuring process with the aim of significantly reducing debt levels and related cash interest costs to align them with our cash-flows. The proposed debt reduction would involve the conversion of unsecured debt into equity and the extension of the secured debt maturities. For that purpose, a mandataire ad hoc (a French facilitator for creditor negotiations) has been appointed by the President of the Commercial Court of Paris (Tribunal de Commerce de Paris) on 27 February 2017 to help the Group conduct further discussions in a manner intended to respect the best interests of all the Group's stakeholders.

In parallel with the financial restructuring process, the Group and all its employees remain fully focused on delivering innovative geoscience solutions to meet our clients' needs."

FY 2016: Weak volumes in difficult market conditions

• Revenue at $1,196m
  • GGR: resilient multi-client volumes, driven by a strong cash prefunding rate of 92% and with subdued after-sales, SIR leadership position preserved
  • Equipment: low external volumes 
  • Contractual Data Acquisition: low pricing conditions, 50% of fleet dedicated to Multi-Client
• EBITDAs¹ at $328m
• Group Operating Income¹ at $(213)m
• Net income at $(577)m after $184m non-cash one-off costs and impairments
• Capex at $395m and Free Cash Flow¹ at $(7)m given notably a significant positive change in working capital
• Net debt at $2,312m in line with guidance and maintenance covenants disapplied at year-end

2014-2016 Industrial Transformation Plan executed

• GGR now above 60% of Group total revenue
• Marine fleet reduced to 5 vessels and improved operational performance with 94% production rate and 92% availability rate in 2016
• Proactive management of marine liabilities
• Equipment breakeven point further reduced
• G&A cost reduced by 61%
• c. 5,800 employees as of end-2016 vs. c. 11,000 as of end-2013

Necessary financial restructuring: Process engaged

• Recovery pushed back in longer and more difficult market conditions; 2017 operating results expected to be in line with 2016
• 2017 multi-client cash capex expected to be at $250-300m, with cash prefunding rate above 70% and industrial capex at $75-100m
• Cash generation in 2017 expected to be hampered by the lack of a positive change in working capital versus 2016
• Proposed financial restructuring to lead to a significantly reduced debt level and cash interest burden adequate to the new CGG profile based on the conversion of unsecured debt into equity and the extension of the secured debt maturities
• Implementation timetable to be aligned with business and financial constraints
• Nomination of a Mandataire Ad Hoc, on 27 February 2017, to better organize and facilitate discussions with and between all stakeholders

Fourth quarter 2016 results:

• Revenue at $328m, up 24% sequentially
• EBITDAs at $100m, and positive Free Cash Flow before NRC at $2m
• Operating income, before Non-Recurring Charges (NRC), at $(70)m
• Non-Recurring Charges and impairment of $(173)m booked in Q4:
  • $(97)m of multi-client data library impairment, mainly related to US offshore
  • $(45)m of Group Transformation Plan charges, including $(28)m due to maritime liabilities
  • $(31)m of marine assets net book value adjustment
• Net Income at $(280)m after NRC

Post-closing events

• On January 20, CGG entered into agreements to substantially reduce the cash burden of the charter agreements in respect of three cold-stacked seismic vessels. As part of the agreements to settle those amounts on a non-cash basis, CGG issued $58.6 million of its 2021 Notes to the relevant charter counterparties.
• On February 6, CGG solicited consents from the holders of each series of Senior Notes and the creditors under the Term Loan B to permit the appointment of a 'mandataire ad hoc' without such action constituting an Event of Default
• On February 20, CGG announced receipt of requisite majority consent from holders of its Term loan B, 2020 Notes, 2021 Notes and 2022 Notes and extension of consent solicitation in respect of its 2017 Notes.
• On February 21, CGG announced it has been awarded a contract by Brunei Shell Petroleum to operate a dedicated processing center (DPC) in Brunei Darussalam. The contract will run for a period of six years, from January 2017 to December 2022.

• On February 23, CGG announced execution of supplemental indentures in respect of its 2020 Notes, 2021 Notes and 2022 Notes to allow for appointment of a 'mandataire ad hoc' and its intention to discharge and satisfy the indenture in respect of its 2017 Notes. The payment to the indenture trustee, in trust for the bondholders, of the aggregate outstanding principal ($8.3m) and interest on the 2017 Notes was done on Friday, February 24, 2017.

Following this operation, the amount of unsecured debt (Senior Notes and Convertibles) reached $1.884bn.

Going concern

At the present date of March 3^rd, 2017, when the Group's 2016 consolidated financial statements are made available, in light of the Group's cash flow projections based on the current operations and in the absence of any acceleration of the Group's financial debt reimbursement, CGG has enough cash liquidity to fund its operations until at least December 31, 2017 provided that specific actions, which are subject to negotiation with other parties, be successfully implemented.
  
The Group is, however, facing material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt upon its ability to continue as a going concern, including likely breaches of certain maintenance covenants, and other limitations contained in the outstanding (drawn) Revolving Credit Facilities, in the Term Loan B and in the Nordic Facility. If such breaches were to occur and not be timely remediated, it would trigger, also through the cross-default clauses of the Senior Notes indentures, the immediate acceleration of repayment of substantially all of CGG's senior debt. CGG would not then have sufficient cash liquidity to fulfill these reimbursement obligations, nor - in the current economic environment and given its financial situation - be in a position to raise the required additional refinancing.

In the recent past, CGG requested several waivers from its RCF, Term Loan B and Nordic lenders, particularly related to the disapplication of maintenance covenants as of 2016 December-end and to the ability to appoint a 'mandataire ad hoc' (a French facilitator for creditor negotiations), and obtained the corresponding consents.

Looking forward, in the context of the discussions with the lenders about the financial restructuring necessary to allow the Group to face its capital structure constraints, the Management intends particularly to obtain the appropriate standstill agreement or covenants' relief to prevent any future events of default on the Group's credit agreements. If such discussions are unsuccessful, and to avoid the risk of any liquidity shortfall or an accelerated reimbursement of the Group's financial debt, the Company will consider all available legal options to protect the Group's operations while negotiating the terms of its financial restructuring.

Fourth Quarter 2016 Financial Results by Operating Segment and before non-recurring charges

Geology, Geophysics & Reservoir (GGR)

* Multi-client data library impairment restated to non-recurring charges in 2015

GGR Total Revenue was $230 million, down 40% year-on-year and up 19% sequentially.

• Multi-Client revenue was $134 million, down 45% year-on-year and up 35% sequentially. 38% of the fleet was dedicated to multi-client programs compared to 27% in Q4 2015 and 71% in Q3 2016. Multi-client activity was highest in Brazil.
   
  • Prefunding revenue was at $58 million, down 46% year-on-year and 34% sequentially. Multi-client cash capex was at $53 million, down 19% year-on-year and 33% sequentially. The cash prefunding rate was at 109%, versus 112% in Q3 2016.
  • After-sales revenue was $76 million, down 44% year-on-year and up 641% sequentially.
     
• Subsurface Imaging & Reservoir revenue was $96 million, down 32% year-on-year and up 2% sequentially.

GGR EBITDAs was robust at $156 million, a 67.7% margin.

GGR Operating Income was $26 million, an 11.3% margin. The multi-client depreciation rate totaled 86%, leading to a library Net Book Value of $848 million at the end of December, split between 90% offshore and 10% onshore.

The contribution from Investments in Equity was $(2) million.

GGR Capital Employed was stable at $2.3 billion at the end of December 2016.

Equipment

Equipment Total Revenue was $84 million, down 18% year-on-year and up 57% sequentially. External sales were $48 million, down 49% year-on-year and up 42% sequentially. Land and marine equipment sales were still impacted by low demand in a very weak market.

Marine equipment sales represented 56% of total sales, compared to 52% in the third quarter of 2016, driven by the remaining part of new high-tech Sentinel MS (multi-sensor) streamer sections order for CGG Marine, which also contributed to higher internal sales at $36 million.

Equipment EBITDAs was $5 million, a margin of 6.3%.

Equipment Operating Income was $(3) million, a margin of (3.5)%, up 71% sequentially due to slightly higher volumes and as a result of the further reduction in the activity's breakeven point, after the full implementation of our Transformation Plan.

Equipment Capital Employed was $0.6 billion at the end of December 2016.

Contractual Data Acquisition

Contractual Data Acquisition Total Revenue was $52 million, down 55% year-on-year and up 35% sequentially with lower fleet allocation to Multi-Client and continued weak land activity.

• Contractual Marine Data Acquisition revenue was $35 million, down 50% year-on-year and up 100% sequentially. Our vessel availability rate was 90%. This compares to a 92% availability rate in the fourth quarter of 2015 and a 94% rate in the third quarter of 2016. Our vessel production rate was 97%, compared to 89% in the fourth quarter of 2015 and 93% in the third quarter of 2016. Sequentially, the higher revenue can be explained by the increased fleet allocation to Contractual Data Acquisition at 62% compared to 29% in Q3 2016.
   
• Land and Multi-Physics Data Acquisition revenue was $17 million, down 63% year-on-year and 20% sequentially. Market activity remains low.

We decided to keep the Multi-Physics Business Line within the Group, as the final terms of the discussion did not adequately reflect the value and prospects of this activity.

Contractual Data Acquisition EBITDAs was $(33) million, a margin of (64.5)%.

Contractual Data Acquisition Operating Income was $(51) million, due to increased fleet allocation to Contractual Data Acquisition in a still very competitive Marine market and limited Land activity.

The contribution from Investments in Equity was $(9) million and can be mainly explained by the negative contribution from the Seabed Geosolutions JV.

Contractual Data Acquisition Capital Employed was $0.4 billion at the end of December 2016.

Non-Operated Resources

The Non-Operated Resources Segment comprises, in terms of EBITDAs and Operating Income, the costs relating to non-operated resources (mainly Marine assets). The capital employed for this segment includes non-operated Marine assets and provisions relating to the Group Transformation Plan.

Non-Operated Resources EBITDAs was $(5) million.

Non-Operated Resources Operating Income was $(18) million. The amortization of excess streamers and lay-up costs has a negative impact on the contribution of this segment.

Non-Operated Resources Capital Employed was stable at $0.2 billion at the end of December 2016, the book value of non-operated assets being partly balanced out by provisions relating to our Transformation Plan.

Fourth Quarter 2016 Financial Results

Group Total Revenue was $328 million, down 44% year-on-year and up 24% sequentially. The respective contributions from the Group's businesses were 70% from GGR, 15% from Equipment and 15% from Contractual Data Acquisition.

Group EBITDAs was $100 million, a 30.4% margin, and $57 million after $43 million of Non-Recurring Charges (NRC) related to the Transformation Plan. Excluding Non-Operated Resources (NOR), and to focus solely on the performance of our active Business Lines, Group EBITDAs was $105 million.

Group Operating Income was $(70) million, a (21.4)% margin, and $(243) million after $173 million of NRC. Excluding NOR, and to focus solely on the performance of our active Business Lines, Group Operating Income was $(52) million.

Equity from Investments contribution was $(11) million and can be mainly explained by the negative contribution made by the Seabed Geosolutions JV this quarter.

Total non-recurring charges (NRC) were $173 million in Q4 2016:

• $97m of multi-client data library impairment, mainly related to US offshore
• $45m of Group Transformation Plan charges, including $28m due to maritime liabilities
• $31m of marine assets net book value adjustment

Total non-recurring charges, restated, were $229 million in Q4 2015:

• $171m of other restructuring costs, mainly related to redundancies
• $42m of multi-client data library impairment
• $16m of asset impairments

Net financial costs were $55 million:

• Cost of debt was $44 million. The total amount of interest paid during the quarter was $39 million
• Other financial items were negative at $11 million

Total Income Taxes were positive at $30 million.

Group Net Income was $(280) million after NRC.
After minority interests, Net Income attributable to the owners of CGG was a loss of $(279) million / €(254) million. EPS was negative at $(12.61)/ €(11.46).
Cash Flow

Given the change in working capital, Cash Flow from operations was $129 million compared to $167 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. After cash Non-Recurring Charges, the Cash Flow from operations was $95 million.

Global Capex was $91 million, down 5% year-on-year and 11% sequentially:

• Industrial capex was $28.9 million, up 69% year-on-year and 93% sequentially
• Research & development capex was $8.4 million, down 32% year-on-year and up 12% sequentially
• Multi-client cash capex was $53.3 million, down 19% year-on-year and 33% sequentially

After the payment of interest expenses and Capex and before cash NRC, Free Cash Flow was positive at $2 million compared to $52 million for the fourth quarter of 2015. After cash NRC, Free Cash Flow was negative at $(32) million.

Full-Year 2016 Financial Results

Group Total Revenue was $1,196 million, down 43% compared to 2015 due to weakening market conditions and perimeter effects. The respective contributions from the Group's businesses were 66% from GGR, 15% from Equipment and 19% from Contractual Data Acquisition.  

Group EBITDAs was $328 million, a 27.4% margin, and $274 million after $54 million of NRC related to the Transformation Plan. Excluding NOR, and to focus solely on the performance of our active Business Lines, Group EBITDAs was $350 million.

Group Operating Income was $(213) million, a (17.8)% margin, and $(397) million after $184 million of NRC. Excluding NOR, and to focus solely on the performance of our active Business Lines, Group Operating Income was $(128) million.

• GGR operating income margin was at 10.4%. Multi-Client sales reached $383 million with a cash prefunding rate of 92%. Our highest offshore multi-client sales were made in Latin America and the North Sea. The operating income was hampered by the multi-client depreciation rate of 84%, leading to a Net Book Value of $848 million at the end of December.

Subsurface Imaging delivered a resilient performance, particularly in North and Latin America, despite the significant decrease in data acquisition market volumes. Our SIR leadership position was confirmed by the 2016 Kimberlite report (ex-Welling report) based on more than 200 client interviews worldwide.

• Equipment operating income margin was at (16.4)%. Despite very efficient cost management and its manufacturing flexibility, very low volumes are strongly impacting the profitability of this segment.
• Contractual Data Acquisition operating income margin was at (41.2)% due to weak pricing conditions in marine, despite our fleet's good operational performance with a high production rate at 94%. 50% of our five-vessel fleet were dedicated to the contractual market over the year. Land acquisition suffered in 2016 from a global low level of activity and slow clients' decision process.
• NOR operating income was at $(84) million, from $(28) million in 2015, due to an increase in cold-stacked vessels: 3 vessels cold-stacked since Q4 2015 and 3 additional vessels cold-stacked since Q1 2016.

Equity from Investments contribution was at $(8) million and can be mainly explained by the negative contribution from the Seabed Geosolutions JV.

Total non-recurring charges (NRC) were $184 million in 2016:

• $97m of multi-client data library impairment, mainly related to US offshore
• $56m of Group Transformation Plan charges, including $28m due to maritime liabilities
• $31m of marine assets net book value adjustment

Total non-recurring charges, restated, were $1,219 million in 2015:

• $804m goodwill impairment
• $208m of other restructuring costs, mainly related to redundancies
• $165m of asset impairments, mainly vessel-related
• $42m of multi-client data library impairment

Net financial costs were $186 million:

• Cost of debt was $174.2 million. The total amount of interest paid was $142 million
• Other financial items were negative at $11.4 million

Total Income Taxes were positive at $14 million.

Group Net Income was $(577) million after NRC.
After minority interests, Net Income attributable to the owners of CGG was a loss of $(573) million / €(519) million. EPS was negative at $(27.57) / €(24.94).

Cash Flow

Cash Flow from operations was $522 million before NRC, compared to $529 million for the year of 2015. Cash Flow from operations was $355 million after cash NRC.

Global Capex was $395 million, down 5% year-on-year:

• Industrial capex was $66 million, down 26% year-on-year
• Research & development capex was $34 million, down 18% year-on-year
• Multi-client cash capex was $295 million, up 5% year-on-year

After the payment of interest expenses and Capex and before NRC, Free Cash Flow was $(7) million compared to $(9) million for the year of 2015. After cash NRC, Free Cash Flow was negative at $(174) million.              

Balance Sheet 

Net Debt to Equity Ratio:

Group gross debt was $2.851 billion at the end of December 2016. Available cash was $539 million and Group net debt was $2.312 billion.

The net debt to shareholders equity ratio, at the end of December 2016, was 206% compared to 191% at the end of December 2015.

The Group's liquidity, corresponding to the sum of the cash balance and the undrawn portion of the revolving credit facilities, amounted to $539m at the end of December 2016.

The lenders under our French and US revolving credit facilities and Nordic loan agreed on December 31, 2016 to disapply the maintenance covenants (leverage ratio and coverage ratio) at that date. At end of December 2016, the net debt/EBITDAs ratio would have been 6.8x.
