Forward-Looking Statements This presentation includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical facts included herein, including statements regarding the Company’s future financial position and results of operations, future product development initiatives, the Company’s business strategy, the future mix of product revenues, future demand for the Company’s products and general conditions in the energy industry, in general, and the seismic industry, are forward-looking statements. While management believes that these forward-looking statements are reasonable when and as made, actual results may differ materially from such forward- looking statements. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include possible decline in demand for seismic data and our products; the effect of recent declines in oil and natural gas prices on exploration activity; the effect of uncertainty in financial markets on our customers’ ability to obtain financing; loss of significant customers; defaults by customers on amounts due us; possible obsolescence of inventories and impairment of long-lived assets; and foreign currency exchange risk. These factors and others are described and discussed in the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10- K, the Company’s most recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10 -Q, and in the Company’s other filings with the SEC. 1

Seismic Segment 9

Traditional Seismic Exploration Products LTM¹ Revenue Contribution Land & Marine Applications Sensor Products – Geophones Seismic - Traditional – Hydrophones 22% – Multi-component packages Seismic - Wireless 37% Cable Products Seismic - Reservoir – Leader wire (geophone string application) – Acquisition system cables Non-Seismic – Marine cables 37% 4% Connectors – Cable connectors – Geophone string connectors – Acquisition system connectors Marine Products – Streamer retriever devices – Wet and dry mate connectors – Shallow water connectors 1 LTM as of December 31, 2017 10

Wireless Products Providing Significant Growth LTM¹ Revenue Contribution Geospace Seismic Recorder (GSX) Wireless seismic data acquisition system – Introduced leading land-based wireless data acquisition system in 2008 Seismic - Traditional 22% – Permits new multi-source acquisition techniques 37% Seismic - Wireless – Enables virtually unlimited channel count Rapid customer acceptance Seismic - Reservoir – Most widely used wireless data acquisition system Non-Seismic – 480,000 channels sold or available for rent in N. and S. 4% 37% America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia Rental fleet of approximately 63,000 channels Note: Channel counts as of December 31, 2017 1 LTM as of December 31, 2017 11

The GSX Wireless Advantage Conventional Technology → Cabled Our Technology → Wireless Deployment is time-consuming Increases crew productivity and decreases crew footprint Maintenance is constant Lightweight and easy to deploy Cables are heavy, raising HSE issues Significantly reduces maintenance Allows crews to start work at daybreak Roads, railroads, fences, rivers, lakes & instead of waiting on cable repairs towns are obstacles 12

GSX Market Opportunity Sold more wireless channels than any other Cumulative Wireless Channels competitor Sold / Available for Rent Opportunity to capture market share as cabled systems are replaced due to aging and 500 inefficiency 480 473 463 461 459 – 4-5 million estimated channel market opportunity 450 – Target market approximately 2-3 million channels 400 – Channel count per seismic crew growing Channels in thousands 350 316 Over 40 GSX Customers 300 250 210 200 150 105 100 50 33 10 2 - FY 08 FY 09 FY 10 FY 11 FY 12 FY 13 FY 14 FY 15 FY 16 FY 17 Q1 18 Sales Available for Rent 13

The OBX Wireless Advantage Conventional Technology → Cabled Our Technology → Wireless Deployment and retrieval is time -consuming Increases crew productivity Maintenance is constant and downtime is Much more reliable thus reduces maintenance expensive costs More stations per vessel size allowing for use Cables take-up deck space thus requiring of smaller vessels larger vessels Cables are expensive to purchase and replace 14
