Waiting game

We have made limited adjustments to our estimates ahead of the Q3 results (revenue update due at 08:00 CET on 11 October, full report due at 08:00 CET on 26 October). We expect a QOQ improvement in contract revenues and a decrease in multiclient late sales, as the strong Q2 late sales should be hard to match. In line with Q2 guidance, we expect considerable working-capital release from the strong late sales in Q2, providing solid cash-flow generation in Q3. Nevertheless, we believe optimism should be short-lived as we see refinancing risk remaining high, with a possible further ~USD200m equity need by mid-2023e or balance sheet restructuring. We reiterate our SELL and NOK4 target price.
