PGS (Hold, TP: NOK10.50) - A MultiClient-tilted quarter

Our Q3 revenue estimate is in line with consensus of USD213m (Q3 revenue update due 10 October around 08:00 CET). We expect strong vessel utilisation (88%) in the quarter, with capacity predominantly tilted towards MultiClient work. However, such a high tilt towards MultiClient is generally not favourable for near-term cash flow, and along with significantly higher interest costs QOQ, we estimate USD46m in negative FCF for Q3. We reiterate our HOLD and NOK10.5 target price, based on the proposed merger exchange ratio with TGS.
