PGS (Hold, TP: NOK10.00) - Risk tilted to the downside ahead of Q4 revenue update

We forecast Q4 Produced revenues of USD202m, 4% below Bloomberg consensus, with the main deviation appearing to be related to contract revenues, for which we are USD8m below consensus. As warned by the company, we expect vessel utilisation to be soft at 55% (versus the 50–60% guidance), with a slight overweight towards MultiClient. We expect USD80m in late-sales, broadly in line with consensus of USD78m, or a 13–15% YOY decline but less than the ~30% YOY underlying late-sales decline YTD. The seasonal effect implies c2.3x higher late-sales than the Q1–Q3 average, compared to 1.7–2.2x in 2020–2022. Thus, we believe the risk is tilted towards the downside.
