Great Start to the Year Q1 2011


 

Quarterly Highlights Q1 2011 Consolidated results exceed internal expectations. Strong performances by marine and multi-client businesses. Slow start by data processing and sensor geophone businesses. Expect strong 2011 results for multi-client projects in shale plays. Anticipate improved data processing results in the second half of the year as the pipeline grows. INOVA showing improvement and on track with R&D, but negatively impacted by recent events in Libya. Shape of 2011 by quarter potentially a repeat of 2010.


 

Financial Overview Q1 2011 Solid first quarter performance delivering break-even results. Revenues of $91 million for the first quarter compared to $89 million for the prior period. Excluding Legacy Land Systems (INOVA), revenues increased 25% to $91 million compared to $72 million. Record first quarter revenues of $38 million for our multi-client business driven by strong interest in our multi-client programs in Northeast Greenland, East Africa and Brazil. Solutions backlog grew for the second consecutive quarter with 30% growth over prior quarter. Full-year expected investment in multi-client data libraries increases $20 million to a range of $110 million to $130 million with 70% of total investment expected to occur in the second half of 2011. EBITDA doubled to $30 million. Cash from operations of $52 million increased 102% with approximately $37 million of free cash flow generation. Financial performance for 2011 is expected to be back-end loaded as in previous years. ION breaks even for Q1 and reiterates 2011 financial performance to be back-end loaded. [ 6 ]

INOVA Geophysical General Market Observations/Operational Highlights Strong vibrator sales in Q1 (27) with healthy order book going into Q2. Continued BGP purchases totaling $11 million for Q1. Effect of situation in Libya, Yemen and other Middle East/North Africa countries negative in the short term; possibly positive in the long term if replacement equipment is needed.
