CGG chief executive Robert Brunck told French daily newspaper Les Echos he expected the new group to report earnings before interest, tax, debt and amortisation of about $1.1 billion this year.
"Thanks to the dynamic industry we should again post a double-digit (sales) growth," Brunck said.
CGG agreed to buy Texas-based Veritas in a $3.1 billion deal that will make it the world's biggest listed provider of seismic surveys, but some analysts deemed the deal expensive.
