By reducing its average interest rate from 11.5% to 8.5% and annual interest costs by ~USD20m, TGS completed its debt refinancing at slightly better terms than we expected, prompting minor positive revisions to our 2024–2025e FCF and EPS. We still see a strong near-term cash flow outlook with limited debt amortisation supporting its capacity to raise dividends meaningfully after 2025e even in a flat seismic market. We reiterate our BUY and have raised our target price to NOK130 (125).

Management remains confident that a strong pipeline of ongoing tenders should convert into contracts over the coming months, and that vessel dayrates are ‘slightly increasing’. Soft vessel utilisation continues to be our (and investors’) key concern, and we believe contract announcements are required to turn sentiment, as most investors appear to have remained on the sidelines. From its Q3 results, we highlight strong MultiClient revenues, with late sales likely reaching ~USD400m YTD, well above...
