Outlook and Perspectives Stronger position in a weaker market The seismic market remains more impacted than general E&P, particularly in contract marine Results in line with expectations supported by our unique broad portfolio Contract Marine was increasingly plagued by overcapacity - in the second half of the year, the industry has to reduce overall fleet size CGGVeritas aggressively adjusting to strengthen financial performance Concentrate on 15 3D and 5 small 3D/2D vessels- standardize and high-grade Disciplined capital spending on track Global cost reduction programs expected to bring $250m by mid 2010 Strengthened balance sheet The oil price increase is a positive sign but has not yet been sufficient to initiate a seismic rebound Increasing interest especially in our Haynesville, Santos basin Tupi expansion and Gulf of Mexico wide-azimuth multi-client surveys We remain focused on generating a healthy net free cash flow and strengthening our leadership in the future 21
