2025 second-quarter results
Solid performance amid a volatile environment
Annual Net Cash Flow objective reaffirmed
- Segment revenue of $274m in Q2 2025, up +6% year-on-year, fueled by Geoscience (GEO) and Sensing & Monitoring (SMO)
- Segment adjusted EBITDAs of $107m in Q2 2025 (+14% year-on-year) or 39% margin (c.+270 bps). Profitability increase mostly driven by: 1/ the end of vessel penalties at EDA in January 2025 and 2/ good progress on the restructuring plan at SMO
- Net Cash Flow generation of $30m in Q2 2025
- Bond maturity extended to October 2030 after end-March 2025 successful refinancing, $125m available RCF1
- 2025 financial objectives reaffirmed
Sophie Zurquiyah, Chair and CEO of Viridien: "Viridien delivered a solid performance in the second quarter of 2025. Despite a volatile environment, the Group demonstrated resilience, driven by its primary focus on offshore markets and on leading oil companies. Combined with ongoing internal performance improvements, this resulted in robust year-on-year growth in both segment revenue and margins. From a cash perspective, Viridien generated a solid $30 m in Net Cash Flow during the quarter, reinforcing our confidence in reaching our full-year target of $100 m. The combination of a healthy Geoscience backlog and expected licensing activity toward year-end supports our confidence in maintaining momentum on our deleveraging path."

KEY HIGHLIGHTS PER BUSINESS LINE3
Data, Digital and Energy Transition (DDE)
Segment revenue at $181 m in Q2 2025, up +3% year-on-year driven by Geoscience. New business opportunities are emerging in HPC, while low-carbon initiatives are slowing down due to delays in CCUS projects.
Geoscience (GEO)
- Revenue at $115 m (+10%)
- Solid performance mostly driven by work performed in Latin America and Middle East
- For the past few years, Viridien has seen growing demand for advanced, high-quality, high-end subsurface imaging, especially in the US Gulf, Middle East, North Africa, and South America
Earth Data (EDA)
- Revenue at $66 m (-8%), following a strong performance in the first quarter of 2025
- New OBN projects started in Norway and the US Gulf
Segment adjusted EBITDAs reached $101 m, up +6% year-on-year, with a margin increase of c.+160 basis points. This performance reflects improving margins in Earth Data, which now fully benefits from the end of the vessel capacity agreement. EDA Cash EBITDA breakeven over the period.
Sensing and Monitoring (SMO)
Segment revenue at $93 m in Q2 2025, a solid +14% increase year-on-year. Activity is mostly driven by the Land segment, with strong deliveries of nodal system in South America and cabled systems in the MENA region, in particular. The Marine segment remains subdued. In New Businesses, Infrastructure monitoring is showing double-digit growth, while our Marlin Offshore Logistics solution achieved encouraging initial commercial success, with a contract signed with ONGC.
Segment adjusted EBITDAs stood at $13 m, more than double last year's figure, reflecting both revenue growth and the gradual positive impact of ongoing restructuring actions. In margin terms, second-quarter EBITDA reached nearly 13.7%, representing a c.+620 bp improvement year-on-year.
Segment adjusted Operating income at $7 m vs -$2m in Q2 2024.
CONSOLIDATED IFRS FIGURES4
Profit & Loss
Consolidated IFRS revenue for the second quarter of 2025 came in at $234m, down -26% year-on-year. EBITDAs stood at $68m, down -55%.
IFRS Net Income reaches $6m, vs $35m in the second quarter of 2024, after accounting for -$53 m of leases and D&A, -$27m net cost of financial debt, +$12m other financial income linked to the partial capitalization of refinancing operation costs and partly offset by forex impacts, and +$6m of deferred tax assets.

Cash Flow and Net debt
Net Cash Flow of $10 m generated in the first half of 2025, including $30 m in the second quarter alone. A solid performance in light of the significant pressure on the Group's working capital, caused by overdue receivables from Mexican National Oil Company PEMEX (c.$50 m as of June 30, 2025) and largely contributing to the negative -$46m change in working capital over the period.
Also worth noting that Net Cash Flow in the first half of 2024 included a one-off positive inflow of $38 m, related to the settlement of a litigation with ONGC.

OUTLOOK
The oil price environment has remained volatile in recent months but consistently above the $60/bbl threshold, generally considered an industry equilibrium level. In this context, Oil & Gas companies have maintained most of their exploration and development commitments, particularly in Viridien's core segments.
Assuming no major disruption to the current environment, Viridien reaffirms its confidence in generating around $100m in Net Cash Flow for 2025, supported by:
- Geoscience growth, driven by industry-leading technology and a strong backlog;
- Earth Data late sales, expected to benefit from upcoming lease rounds, combined with disciplined new multi-client engagements;
- Sensing & Monitoring, fueled by broad land activity.

Definition of Alternative Performance Indicators (API)
In its communications, Viridien includes Alternative Performance Indicators, the main ones being Segment Revenue, Segment EBITDAs, Adjusted Segment EBITDAs, and EDA Cash EBITDA. Their definitions are set out in the 2024 Universal Registration Document filed with the French Financial Markets Authority (AMF) and are reiterated below:
- Segment revenue: Segment revenue is prepared in accordance with internal management reporting with Earth Data prefunding revenues recorded based upon percentage of completion.
- Segment EBITDAs: Segment EBITDAs is defined as earnings before interest, tax, income from equity affiliates, depreciation, amortization net of amortization costs capitalized to Earth Data surveys, and cost of share-based compensation for employees and senior executives. The cost of share-based compensation includes the cost of stock options and allotments of performance shares. Segment EBITDAs is calculated based on internal management reporting, in which prefunding revenue from Earth Data surveys is recognized using the percentage of completion method.
- Adjusted segment EBITDAs: Adjusted segment EBITDAs is Segment EBITDAs adjusted for non-recurring charges and gains.
- EDA Cash EBITDA: EDA Cash EBITDA is defined as EDA (Earth Data) adjusted segment EBITDAs less investment in EDA surveys for the period, excluding inactivity compensation fees related to the vessel capacity agreement signed between Viridien and Shearwater. This indicator is used exclusively for the EDA activity.
Reconciliation of API with the condensed interim consolidated financial statements
The table below outlines the accounting adjustments made in accordance with IFRS 158 requirements. Over the period, these adjustments primarily relate to major survey projects conducted by Earth Data in the US Gulf and Norway.
