Business Highlights 2016

In 2016, PGS focused on sales, operations, cost and cash flow discipline to navigate through another challenging year.

Financial flexibility is a priority for PGS and in 2016 the Company completed a comprehensive refinancing process to reduce debt and extend maturities on some key credit facilities. The refinancing was well received by all stakeholders.

Costs continued to be a priority and total gross cash cost for 2016 amounted to

$662.3 million, $130.8 million lower than in 2015, and more than 40% lower than in 2014.

Capital expenditures ("capex"), excluding new builds, were kept at a similar

low level in 2016 as in 2015. This was enabled by in-sea equipment from cold-stacked vessels being deployed on vessels in operation. In addition the Company has reduced and deferred investments related to other activities.

PGS achieved a pre-funding ratio of 121% on $201.0 million of capitalized MultiClient cash investment. The MultiClient sales-to-investment ratio

ended at 2.3 times for the full year 2016, a positive trend compared to the previous year when the ratio was 1.9 times. This highlights the robustness of PGS' MultiClient business.

In March, PGS took delivery of Ramform Tethys. Compared to the two previous Ramform™ Titan-class vessels Ramform Tethys is further enhanced when it comes to equipment handling on the back deck and engine power.

Vessel operations continued to improve and were overall very good,

demonstrating the Company's leading capabilities in executing complex marine 3D acquisition projects.

Imaging capabilities have been further strengthened. The Company is continuing to benefit from enhanced processing and imaging workflows applied to the unique GeoStreamer® data and new supercomputing capacity significantly contributing to reduced cycle times on advanced imaging.
