OSLO, Norway (8 July 2022) - Based on preliminary reporting from operating units, TGS management expects net revenues for Q2 2022 to be approximately USD 230 million, compared to USD 72 million in Q2 2021. Net POC revenues* are expected to be approximately USD 136 million, compared to USD 54 million in Q2 2021.

Kristian Johansen, CEO at TGS, commented: “Q2 2022 was another solid quarter with late sales of close to USD 100 million, driven by a further improvement of activity in frontier areas and transfer fees. With a quarter-end cash balance of approximately USD 255 million in addition to an undrawn revolving credit facility of USD 100 million, we have a solid financial position that can comfortably fund the recently announced M&A transactions.”

TGS will release its Q2 2022 results at approximately 07:00 CEST on 21 July 2022. CEO Kristian Johansen and CFO Sven Børre Larsen will present the results during a live webcast at CEST 09:00.
