This disclosure is made in compliance with Article L. 233-8 II of the French Commercial Code and Article 223-16 of the AMF (French Financial Markets Authority) regulations.
Viridien reported strong 2024 financial results with overall stable group revenue of $1,117 million. Digital, Data & Environment (DDE) segment showed robust growth with revenue reaching $787 million (+17%), while Sensing & Monitoring (SMO) revenue decreased to $330 million.

- EBITDA: $516 million
- Net Income: $51 million
- Net Cash Flow: $56 million
- Net Debt: $921 million
The company exceeded its profitability and cash generation targets, driven by strong commercial successes in Geoscience (+20% revenue growth) and Earth Data (+14% revenue growth). New Businesses achieved 33% revenue growth, exceeding the 30% target. For 2025, Viridien targets approximately $100 million in net cash flow generation and confirms its focus on balance sheet deleveraging.
Viridien and Matnex have announced a strategic partnership to accelerate AI-powered materials discovery.

The difference in voting rights is due to the company's share structure, where registered shares held for more than two years benefit from double voting rights, while treasury shares are excluded from voting rights.

Viridien has secured a three-year contract from Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) to provide advanced land seismic imaging services at its dedicated processing center in Muscat, Oman. The contract extends an existing partnership between the companies.
The Muscat center, Viridien's largest dedicated processing center globally, will deploy proprietary algorithms to enhance PDO's seismic data quality. The project will address challenges including complex near-surface conditions and strong multiples through high-resolution velocity model building and elastic full-waveform inversion.
The scope includes managing increased data density, developing land 4D monitoring, and strengthening synergies between seismic imaging and reservoir characterization. Viridien's HPC & Cloud Solutions team will provide high-performance computing capacity to support advanced workflows. The company maintains its commitment to In-Country Value initiatives in Oman, focusing on talent development and education through university partnerships.
Viridien reported its full-year 2024 financial update, achieving revenue and EBITDA slightly above $1,100 million and $430 million respectively, in line with guidance.

Key achievements include doubling their bond buyback commitment to $60 million, receiving an improved credit rating from S&P to B-, and extending their revolving credit facility until October 2026. The strong performance was driven by the Data, Digital & Energy Transition (DDE) segment, particularly in Geoscience activities and the Laconia project in the Gulf of Mexico.
The company reaffirmed its 2025 target of generating approximately $100 million in net cash flow, supported by strong Geoscience activity, project pipeline, and benefits from the Sensing & Monitoring restructuring. Full audited results will be announced on February 27, 2025.
