Atle Jacobsen, CEO, commented for Q4

“I’m very pleased to report that 2014 was an overall strong year for Dolphin. The year ended with total revenues of USD 440 million, a group EBIT margin of 12% and net profit before tax of USD 35 million, in what became an increasingly difficult market. The focused and consistent efforts within our Multi-Client business segment resulted in solid late sales in Q4. The marine contract EBIT margin was negatively impacted by vessel relocations between regions and low utilisation for our 2D vessel and low-end 3D vessel. Going forward, solid backlog will soften the effect of the weaker pricing and utilisation that the industry will experience during 2015 Our modern fleet of six high-end 3D vessels capable of cost efficient “powerful solutions” surveys will be complete when taking delivery of Polar Empress in April. Dolphin has a continued expectation of strong Multi-Client performance in 2015, and we will continue to grow our Processing & Imaging business in order to reinforce our holistic marine geophysical offering to our clients. Our focus for the year will be to continue to leverage our "powerful solutions" offering combined with the value of being a fully integrated marine seismic company, with the goal of capturing more of our clients’ business. We reiterate our 2015 financial guidance.”

Dolphin is a fully integrated global marine geophysical company

Market outlook 2015

Macro

• Sharp oil price decline last 6 months

• Continuing sanctions against Russia

28

E&P spend and seismic

• Reduction in E&P spend

• Slowdown in tender activity, resulting in increased pricing

pressure and lower utilisation

• Multi-Client sales more selective, driven by licensing rounds

and discoveries

• Continuing reduction in seismic supply due to vessel

“stacking” will contribute to improved supply/demand

balance

www.dolphingeo.com

Market outlook 2015 (continued)

Current market snapshot:

• Still low visibility in all regions for H1 2015

• Starting to see tender activity recovering from extremely low

levels mainly for H2 2015

• Asia/Pacific best market, almost in balance

• North/South America in recovery mode

• North Sea looks to be a 4D and Multi-Client market this season

• West Africa heavily over-supplied

• East Africa / India with healthy demand

• Still high tender activity from Russia

Dolphin

• Negative market effects dampened by strong Dolphin backlog

and Multi-Client late-sales

• Modern “powerful solutions” capacity with wide-tow in demand

• Cost efficiency initiatives to reduce cost base

• Leverage being a fully integrated marine geophysical company

2015 Guidance – summary*

• Dolphin’s full year revenue is expected to exceed USD 500 million for 2015, representing a growth of 15-20% from 2014

• The Dolphin Multi-Client investments will primarily be made in prospective offshore

areas. Dolphin expect to allocate 15-20% of 3D vessel capacity to Multi-Client investments for 2015, representing cash investments of approximately USD 50-70 million

• The new and final 3D vessel, Polar Empress with 14- 22 streamer capacity, is on schedule

and is expected to be taken on charter in end of April 2015

• Dolphin will fully divest from the marine 2D and low-end 3D seismic market in 2015

• In a challenging market environment, Dolphin will focus on market positioning of the 6 modern high-capacity 3D seismic vessels, seismic processing and sales from an attractive Multi-Client seismic data library

• During 2015, Dolphin will prepare for the next generation of multi-sensor streamer technology, new acquisition techniques and joint cooperation models both on exclusive and non-exclusive basis will be targeted
