ION Reports Third Quarter 2011 Results
HOUSTON, TX — November 2, 2011 — ION Geophysical Corporation (NYSE: IO) today reported
third quarter 2011 revenues of $115.7 million, compared to revenues of $121.6 million in the third
quarter of 2010. Net income in the third quarter of 2011 was $8.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted
share, compared to $11.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2010.
Bob Peebler, ION’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “As expected, we improved our third quarter
results over the first two quarters of 2011, mainly due to the strong performance of our
multi-client, marine equipment and Concept software businesses. Compared to last year’s third
quarter, our results were negatively impacted by reduced data processing sales in the Gulf of
Mexico, quarterly lumpiness in our equipment and data library businesses, and the continued
negative financial results of the INOVA joint venture.
“Our data processing business has been slow to recover from weakness following the Macondo oil
spill, but we see steady improvement and sufficient pipeline activity to expect a full recovery in
2012. We also expect to grow our data processing business in Mexico, Europe, South America and the
Middle East.
“Our marine group continues to deliver strong performance driven by the ongoing transition of
the global towed streamer market to more complex surveys, which continues to drive sales of our
market-leading Digi positioning equipment product line and of our latest software platform,
Orca®.
“We were pleased with customer reception to INOVA’s new product introduction at the industry’s
major annual trade show in late September, including a new version of FireFly®, a new
version of their cabled system, and their first offering of land nodes. INOVA, BGP and ION have
continued with INOVA’s aggressive R&D program, and we are confident these new products place INOVA
in a much stronger position going into 2012.
“We continue to grow our new ventures programs, and we are still on a path for a 2011 capital
spend of $110 to $130 million; our growing and diversified portfolio is a platform that bodes well
for the future. We recently completed a scientific project for the Russian Government, where we
used ION’s unique Arctic technology and know-how to survey large swatches of the Russian Arctic.
This program positions us to be a major player in future Russian Arctic multi-client business. In
addition, our footprint in the U.S. shale play is expanding with three new venture programs in our
backlog and more on the drawing board. We believe we are gaining significant technical
understanding of shale plays from a reservoir perspective and will leverage this in 2012 as we
broaden our shale footprint, both in the U.S. and international markets.
“We expect further improvements in our fourth quarter results driven by revenue from our
multi-client programs, strong data library sales, the expected recognition of revenue from our
twelve-streamer sale to BGP and further improvement in our data processing business. The main
uncertainties for the remainder of the year are the potential impact of our customers’ spending
|

patterns due to the volatility of oil prices and the rate of recovery of our data processing
business. In summary, we expect a solid fourth quarter and anticipate entering 2012 in an excellent
position in all of our product and service lines.”
THIRD QUARTER 2011
Total revenues for the third quarter of 2011 decreased 5% to $115.7 million compared to $121.6
million for the same period in 2010. Systems and Software segment revenues for the third quarter of
2011 increased by 25% and 12%, respectively, compared to the prior year period, while Solutions
segment revenues decreased by 16%.
Systems segment sales were $32.3 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $25.7
million in the same period of 2010, due to strong demand for marine positioning equipment and
improved sales of sensor geophones.
Software segment sales were $10.2 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared to $9.1
million in the same period a year ago. Excluding foreign currency effects, Software segment
revenues increased 8% from the prior period primarily due to demand for Orca and Gator®
software products.
Solutions segment sales were $73.2 million during the third quarter of 2011, compared to $86.7
million for the same period a year ago. In the multi-client business, data library sales increased
72% over the third quarter of 2010 to $15.2 million, driven by demand for access to multi-client
data in areas such as the Arctic, East Africa and the Congo. New venture sales for the third
quarter were impacted by timing, as 2010 new venture programs in the Arctic were concentrated to
the third quarter. The 2011 new venture programs are expected to be spread more evenly over the
third and fourth quarters. Data processing revenues, although up sequentially, decreased 20% to
$22.4 million as compared to $27.9 million in the prior year period, due to the lagging effects of
the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
Consolidated gross margins were 38% during the third quarter of 2011 compared to 40% in the
prior period a year ago. Gross margins in the Software segment improved 12 percentage points
predominantly due to a favorable mix of software sales, which typically result in higher margins
than the associated hardware sales for this segment. Gross margins in the Solutions and Systems
segments decreased by six and three percentage points, respectively, with gross margins in the
Solutions segment being impacted by lower data processing sales.
As a percentage of revenue, operating expenses increased slightly to 22% of sales during the
third quarter of 2011 compared to 21% of sales for the prior year period. Income from operations
was $18.5 million during the third quarter of 2011 compared to $23.4 million in the third quarter
of 2010. Adjusted EBITDA was $40.3 million compared to $60.3 million in the third quarter of 2010.
The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was principally due to higher revenues and the associated
|
|
NEWS RELEASE |
amortization expense from new venture multi-client programs in 2010, which were concentrated
to the third quarter as noted above.
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 second
quarter 2011 financial results is included in the Company’s third quarter results. For the third
quarter of 2011, the Company recognized a loss on its INOVA equity investment of approximately $4.8
million, compared to a loss of $8.0 million in the third quarter of 2010.
The Company’s effective tax rate during the third quarter was 27.9% (provision on income)
compared to 18.8% (benefit on income) for the same period of 2010. The third quarter of 2010
included a benefit related to alternative minimum tax. Excluding this benefit, the Company’s
effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2010 would have been 22.2% (provision on income). The
increase in the Company’s effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2011 was due to changes in
the distribution of earnings between U.S. and foreign jurisdictions.
Total cash and cash equivalents plus short-term investments were $71.3 million as of September
30, 2011. Additionally, the Company has no outstanding balance associated with its $100 million
revolving credit facility, bringing total liquidity to $171 million.
YEAR-TO-DATE 2011
Consolidated revenues for the first nine months of 2011 increased 3% to $294.7 million
compared to $285.7 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 nine months increased 9% or
$25.6 million.
Systems segment revenues for the first nine months of 2011 increased $14.1 million or 20% over
prior year, primarily as a result of higher revenues from towed streamer and other marine products,
partially offset by weak sales of sensor geophones. Solutions and Software segment revenues for
the period each increased by 6%.
Gross margin for the first nine months of 2011 was 37%, consistent with 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 nine months of 2011 decreased
slightly to 26% compared to 27% in the prior year period after excluding the first quarter 2010
results of the Legacy Land Systems (INOVA) segment. Income from operations for the first nine
months of 2011 totaled $33.4 million compared to $28.0 million in the prior period, excluding the
results of the Legacy Land Systems (INOVA) segment.
The Company’s effective tax rate during the first nine months of 2011 was 27.7%, a provision
on income, compared to a provision on a loss of 27.7% for 2010. The provision on a loss for 2010
was due to the transactions involved in the completion of the INOVA Geophysical joint venture.

NEWS RELEASE |
For the first nine months of 2011, the Company reported net income of $11.4 million, or $0.07
per diluted share, compared to a net loss of ($58.8) million, or ($0.42) per share, in 2010.
Excluding the after-tax impact of the special items as shown in the table at the end of the third
quarter 2010 press release, the Company reported net income of $1.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted
share, for the first nine months of 2010. Adjusted EBITDA for the period was $96.9 million compared
to $92.4 million in 2010.
OUTLOOK
Brian Hanson, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We
are pleased with the third quarter results as they came in within our expectations and we expect
improved fourth-quarter results 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 fourth quarter. And, we expect the run rate of the
data processing business to be restored to pre-Macondo levels in early 2012.
“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. This, combined with the normal, year-end spending patterns on data
libraries, positions us well for a solid fourth quarter.”

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Net Income (Loss)

(In thousands)
(Unaudited)
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.

Reconciliation of Income from Operations Excluding the
Legacy Land Systems (INOVA) Segment
(Non-GAAP Measure)

Legacy Land Systems (INOVA) Segment
(Non-GAAP Measure)
(In thousands)
(Unaudited)
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 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 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 nine months ended September
