A disposal to support the balance sheet (A2D)

Key points:

TGS announced the disposal of its North American well data products business (A2D) to Enverus, for a purchase price of USD100m

(payable at the closing) and USD15m additional earn-out. We assume an EV/EBITDA ratio close to 5x. TGS explains this disposal:

"The North American onshore geological business has become less strategic to TGS’s long-term priorities".

The cash will be used to reduce the net debt. TGS underlines that this is " to pursue higher capital returns to shareholders over

time, in line with the company’s financial priorities and capital allocation strategy"

At the end, TGS is selling a non-core business, at a good price: 5x EV/EBITDA, while the company is trading close to 3-3.5x

EV/EBITDA based on consensus and closer to 4x based on our forecast. In our model, the group's 2026 FCF post-lease is limited to

c.USD20m in 2026E, while the dividend amount is close to USD130m. The disposal will allow TGS to keep its net debt stable at the

end of 2026, close to USD440m pre-IFRS16.

We have a Reduce on the name.
