ASKER, NORWAY (9 January 2014) - Based on preliminary reporting from operating
units, TGS management expects net revenues for the fourth quarter of 2013 to be
approximately USD 270 million, bringing total estimated net revenues for 2013 to
approximately USD 882 million. The company has previously guided full year
revenues of USD 810 - 870 million, and the positive deviation is mainly caused
by record high late sales in the fourth quarter.
