09 Jan 2023 07:00 CET

OSLO, Norway (9 January 2023) - Based on preliminary reporting from operating
units, management of TGS ASA ("TGS") expects revenues (excluding contribution
from Magseis Fairfield ASA) for Q4 2022 to be approximately USD 164 million,
compared to USD 105 million in Q4 2021.

POC revenues* are expected to be approximately USD 172 million, up from USD 120
million in Q4 2021. Late sales accounted for approximately USD 136 million,
157% above the USD 53 million reported for Q4 2021.

Kristian Johansen, CEO at TGS, commented: "I'm pleased to see that the strong
momentum in sales accelerated in the quarter. Late sales in Q4 2022 are the best
fourth-quarter late sales since 2014. In addition, we have seen solid growth in
order inflow related to new investments lately, meaning that the multi-client
backlog increased significantly in the quarter"

TGS will release its Q4 2022 results at approximately CET 07:00 am on 9 February
2023. CEO Kristian Johansen and CFO Sven Børre Larsen will present the results

completion of projects are recognized on a percentage of completion ("POC")
basis. This differs from IFRS reporting where revenues committed prior to
completion are recognized when the customers receive access to the finished
data.

Preliminary IFRS reported revenue: USD 164 million
- Revenue recognized from performance obligations met during Q4 for completed
projects: USD 23 million
+ Revenue recognized under POC during Q4: USD 31 million
