ION Reports Second Quarter 2011 Results
HOUSTON — August 2, 2011 — ION Geophysical Corporation (NYSE: IO) today reported second
quarter 2011 revenues of $88.5 million, a 17% increase from $75.4 million in the second quarter of
2010. Net income increased to $2.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in the second quarter of
2011, compared to $1.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2010.
Bob Peebler, ION’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “As expected, we saw continued strength in
our marine, data library and new ventures businesses, while our data processing business continues
to slowly recover from the impact of last year’s oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. We had growth in
both revenues and earnings compared to last year, even with the slower-than-expected Gulf data
processing business. We also experienced some delays in our Arctic new venture programs due to the
bankruptcy of one of our Arctic contractors. In addition, we experienced two months of weather
delays in our Marcellus Shale new venture project, which finally commenced in early July and is now
progressing nicely.
“We anticipated the slow-down in our data processing business when we saw a significant
decline in our pipeline of bids last fall, but we underestimated the recovery time. The snail’s
pace of government permitting and delays in lease sales have caused the slow-down in the Gulf to
last much longer than expected. The good news is we have seen a substantial improvement in our
Gulf of Mexico pipeline and even though we missed the timing of the recovery by four to six months,
we expect continued strengthening with recovery in the fourth quarter of this year. I might also
add that 2012 is beginning to look like a strong year in the Gulf of Mexico for both our data
processing business and for our marine contractor customers.
“As previously mentioned, INOVA’s land equipment business has generally mirrored BGP’s
activity, which has been hit particularly hard by the turmoil in North Africa and the Middle East.
We still believe that INOVA will finish the calendar year with improved revenues and earnings, but
a stronger fourth quarter for INOVA will not appear in our financials until the first quarter of
2012 due to our lag accounting for
INOVA. We are very pleased that INOVA is on schedule to roll out a complete new product set,
including a new version of FireFly®, a new version of their cabled system, and their first offering
of land nodes. All of these new products will be introduced at the industry’s major trade show in
late September and puts INOVA in an excellent position going into 2012.
“In summary, we still expect the second half of the year to be significantly stronger than the
first half and believe that momentum is building in exploration spending for 2012. We are well
positioned to participate in the overall improvement of the seismic industry.”
SECOND QUARTER 2011
Total revenues for the second quarter of 2011 increased to $88.5 million compared to $75.4
million a year ago. Solutions segment revenues increased by 38% over the same period a year ago,
while Systems and Software segment revenues remained consistent with the prior period.
Solutions segment sales increased to $49.0 million during the second quarter of 2011, compared
to $35.5 million for the same period a year ago. Data library sales increased to $18.6 million, or
565% over the prior period as customers expressed interest in areas such as Brazil, East Africa and
the Gulf of Mexico. New venture revenues doubled to $9.8 million related to programs in Northeast
Greenland, East Africa and the Gulf of Mexico. This solid overall performance by the multi-client
business more than offset the decline in revenues from the data processing business, which
continues to be impacted by the lagging effects of the slow-down in the Gulf of Mexico.
Systems segment sales were $29.5 million in the second quarter of 2011 compared to $29.8
million in the same period of 2010, as an increase in marine product sales was offset by a decrease
in sales by the Company’s sensor geophone business, which continues to be impacted by soft land
seismic activity.
Software segment sales of $10.1 million in the second quarter of 2011 were essentially flat
with the same period of 2010. Excluding foreign currency effects, Software segment revenues
decreased 9% from the prior period predominantly due to a
large sale of Gator-related hardware in the prior period that was not repeated in the current
period.
Consolidated gross margins increased slightly to 38% during the second quarter of 2011
compared to the prior period. Gross margins in the Systems and Software segments improved nine and
six percentage points, respectively, predominantly related to sales mix, while Solutions segment
gross margins slightly decreased by two percentage points.
As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses declined slightly to 28% of sales during the
second quarter of 2011 compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA increased 61% to $26.1
million compared to $16.2 million in the second quarter of 2010.
The Company’s effective tax rate during the second quarter was 27.6% compared to 59.8% for the
same period of 2010. The decrease in the Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended
June 30, 2011 as compared to the corresponding period in 2010 was due to lower expected tax expense
in certain foreign jurisdictions for 2011. The high effective rate in the three months ended June
30, 2010 was due to an update to the Company’s expectation of the distribution of earnings between
U.S and foreign jurisdictions resulting in a higher than usual estimated annual effective tax rate
for that period.
The Company accounts for its 49% interest in INOVA Geophysical as an equity method investment
on a one fiscal quarter-lag basis. As a result, the Company’s share of INOVA Geophysical’s first
quarter 2011 financial results is included in the Company’s second quarter results. For the second
quarter of 2011, the Company recognized a loss on its INOVA equity investment of approximately $4.2
million, compared to a loss of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2010, which represented the
Company’s share of INOVA Geophysical’s results from March 26, 2010 to March 31, 2010.
During the second quarter, the Company liquidated $41 million of short-term certificates of
deposit for cash to cover the working capital required to bridge the funding of its multi-client
projects. Total cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments were $95.0 million as of June
30, 2011. Additionally, the Company has no
outstanding balance associated with its $100 million revolving credit facility, bringing total
liquidity to $195 million.
YEAR-TO-DATE 2011
Consolidated revenues for the first six months of 2011 increased 9% to $179.1 million compared
to $164.1 million for the same period in 2010. Excluding the results of the Company’s Legacy Land
Systems (INOVA) segment in 2010, revenues for the first six months increased 21% or $31.5 million.
Solutions segment revenues increased $23.3 million or 28% over prior year, primarily as a
result of strong sales from the Company’s multi-client programs in Northeast Greenland, East
Africa, Brazil and the Gulf of Mexico, partially offset by decreased data processing sales that
were impacted by the continuing and lagging effects of the slow-down in the Gulf of Mexico.
Systems and Software segment revenues increased by 16% and 4%, respectively.
Gross margins for the first six months of 2011 increased to 36% compared to 31% for 2010, and
compared to 35% in the same period of 2010 after excluding the first quarter 2010 results of the
Legacy Land Systems (INOVA) segment.
Operating expenses as a percentage of revenues for the first six months of 2011 decreased to
28% compared to 32% in the prior year period after excluding the first quarter 2010 results of the
Legacy Land Systems (INOVA) segment, as revenue growth outpaced an increase in R&D and marketing
expenditures.
The Company’s effective tax rate during the first six months of 2011 was 27.2% (provision on
income) compared to 26.0% (provision on a loss) for 2010. The increase in effective tax rate
relates primarily to changes in the distribution of earnings between U.S. and foreign
jurisdictions.
Income from operations for the first half of 2011 totaled $14.9 million compared to a loss
from operations of ($5.0) million in the prior period. Excluding the results of the Legacy Land
Systems (INOVA) segment, income from operations for the same period of 2010 was $4.6 million.
For the first six months of 2011, the Company reported net income of $2.6 million, or $0.02
per diluted share, compared to ($70.7) million, or ($0.52) per share, in
2010. Excluding the after-tax impact of the special items as shown in the table at the end of
the second quarter 2010 press release, the Company reported a net loss of ($10.2) million, or
($0.07) per share for the first six months of 2010. Adjusted EBITDA for the period increased 77% to
$56.6 million compared to $32.0 million in 2010.
OUTLOOK
Brian Hanson, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “As we
communicated during our first quarter earnings call, we continue to expect our year to be
significantly back-end loaded, which is consistent with our historical pattern over the past
several years.
“Our multi-client business is currently executing several new venture programs both on land
and at sea. Our marine business continues to perform well and remains on track to recognize the
revenue from the BGP twelve-streamer sale in the back half of the year. Our data processing
business, which had a weaker performance in the first half of the year, primarily driven by the
slow-down in the Gulf of Mexico, is showing signs of improvement. The Gulf of Mexico sales pipeline
has increased significantly since Macondo, and we expect this increase to work its way through the
business, improving the back half of the year. We expect that the run rate of the data processing
business should be restored to pre-Macondo levels beginning in the fourth quarter.
“We continue to expect our investment in multi-client data libraries to achieve a full-year
level in the range of $110 to $130 million with a significant amount of this investment to be
underwritten by our customers.”

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measurement that is presented as an additional indicator of
operating performance and is not a substitute for net income (loss) or net income (loss) per share
calculated under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We believe that Adjusted EBITDA
provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance
of our ongoing business operations, including our ability to service our debt. The calculation of
Adjusted EBITDA shown below is based upon amounts derived from the Company’s financial statements
prepared in conformity with GAAP.

The financial results reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated
Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows contained in this press release are
reported in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP performance
measures may provide users of this financial information additional meaningful comparisons between
current results and results in prior operating periods. One such non-GAAP financial measure is our
income (loss) from operations excluding our Legacy Land Systems (INOVA) segment. This segment was
contributed to our joint venture (INOVA Geophysical) on March 25, 2010. Therefore, beginning on
March 26, 2010, this contributed business is no longer consolidated into our results of operations.
This adjusted income amount is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Accordingly, it
should not be considered as a substitute for income (loss) from operations or other income data
prepared in accordance with GAAP. See the table below for supplemental financial data and the
corresponding reconciliation to GAAP financials for the six months ended June 30, 2010:
