CGGVeritas Chairman & CEO, Robert Brunck commented:
"As expected, the positive contribution of higher margin 2008 backlog coming to an end, led to a more difficult quarter. Nevertheless, we delivered solid free cash flow thanks to strong and disciplined actions across the company.
In the current economic environment Sercel, with its leading technology and manufacturing excellence, exhibited a resilient margin. Services reinforced their high-end positioning with increased prefunding of new multi-client projects, continued interest for its advanced depth imaging and through its high-resolution land seismic surveys. In marine, the industry began capacity adjustments but oversupply still prevails, translating into lower pricing and increased vessel transits for some of the new contracts.
Looking forward in the context of relatively high and stable oil prices, we expect oil and gas fundamentals to strengthen and demand for high-end seismic technology, especially around reservoir optimization, to continue to increase. CGGVeritas is well positioned to take full advantage of its technological strength and its well balanced portfolio."

Sercel
Revenue was down 35% in $ and 30% in EUR from a
record third quarter last year with an increased contribution from
marine with sales of two SeaRay OBC systems and one Nautilus for
acoustic positioning and streamer control. Internal sales represented
21% of revenue.
Services
Revenue was down 25% in $ and 19% in EUR with
good vessel utilization despite increasing standby between contracts.
Revenue was also supported by strong processing performance, while
marine multi-client revenue decreased year on year following the
reduction of our multi-client investments. Amortization rates of our
multi-client library were higher this quarter at 75% mainly due to a
different sales mix with lower fully depreciated data and higher onshore
contribution. We anticipate the full year 2009 amortization rate to be
around 65%.
Marine capacity adjustments: The Fohn and the Orion 3D vessels were decommissioned this quarter. Following contract completion, another 2D vessel will be de-rigged in the fourth quarter 2009. Three additional 2D vessels are scheduled for decommissioning in 2010.
-- Marine contract revenue was down 15% in $ and 9% in EUR. The vessel
availability rate1 was 90%, including a 7% impact related to standby
between contracts and the production rate2 was 93%. 86% of the 3D fleet
operated on contract. With the end of 2008 higher margin backlog, we saw
the impact of lower pricing. The industry first Arctic Beaufort Sea
acquisition project was completed with excellent results and one vessel
was equipped with Nautilus for integrated acoustic positioning and
streamer control.
-- Land contract revenue was down 35% in $ and 30% in EUR, mainly in North
American land as activity remained slow with gas prices continuing to
stagnate. We operated 12 crews worldwide, including Argas crews in Saudi
Arabia and our large high-density contracts in Qatar and Oman where we
continue to operate near record levels with promising results. In
Canada, we successfully completed a 4D SeisMovie reservoir monitoring
acquisition.
-- Processing & Imagingrevenue was up 1% in $ and 9% in EUR as the
performance and demand for our high-end innovative imaging products,
especially in the Gulf of Mexico remained robust. The latest releases
include AGORA our ground roll attenuation and TTI RTM, our leading edge
depth migration technology. During the quarter, we were awarded a new
dedicated center in Brazil and two dedicated center contracts were
renewed, one in the Netherlands, the other in France.
-- Multi-clientrevenue was down 46% in $ and 41% in EUR following our
decreasing Capex spending. The amortization rate averaged 75%, with 78%
in land and 74% in marine, a high amortization rate due to a sales mix
of less fully depreciated data and an increasing contribution from land.
Net Book Value of the library at the end of September was stable at $828
million.
Multi-client marine revenue was down 54% in $ and 51% in EUR as Capex was reduced 59% year on year in $ to $48 million (EUR33 million). Prefunding was $54 million (EUR38 million), up sequentially with a rate of 112%. In Brazil the extension of our Santos cluster survey around the Tupi discovery continued to progress well and we completed our programs offshore Australia and in the North Sea. After-sales worldwide were down 47% in $ and 45% in EUR at $23 million (EUR16 million).
Multi-client land revenue was down 16% in $ and 4% in EUR. Capex was reduced 26% year on year at $20 million (EUR14 million). Prefunding was high during the quarter, at $25 million (EUR18 million). Prefunding rate increased year on year and sequentially to 121% reflecting the strong interest for our Haynesville program where we operated two crews this quarter on the 3D multi-client Tri-Parish Line survey in northern Louisiana. After-sales were at $13 million (EUR9 million).
1 - The vessel availability rate, a metric measuring the structural availability of our vessels to meet demand; this metric is related to the entire fleet, and corresponds to the total vessel time reduced by the sum of the standby time between contracts, of the shipyard time and the steaming time (the "available time"), all divided by total vessel time;
2 - The vessel production rate, a metric measuring the effective utilization of the vessels once available; this metric is related to the entire fleet, and corresponds to the available time reduced by the operational downtime, all then divided by available time.
Group EBITDAs was $231 million (EUR163 million), a margin of 32%.

Land equipment sales were down from record sales in 2009 while marine
sales were down as industry future fleet plans were adjusted.

performance. For the first nine months, fleet availability rate was 90%
and the production rate was 91%. Multi-client revenue was down
44% in $ and 38% in EUR as Capex eased as planned and was down 40% in $ to
