PGS (Hold, TP: NOK3.00) - A step in the right direction

PGS reported Q4 EBITDA above expectations with sales boosted by government grants and lower costs than we expected. In addition, the backlog situation has improved. On cash guidance for 2021, the largest surprise was the significantly reduced allocation towards multi-client, while cost and capex were in line with our exactions. We consider the Q4 report a step in the right direction for PGS, but note that a key investor concern remains, with a wall of maturities approaching next year.
