Sentiment and the balance of points

Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.

Viridien (CGG) reported third-quarter 2026 net cash flow of $35 million as debt declined despite lower revenue and a net loss. Net cash flow fell 33% year on year, but nine-month cash generation rose 8% to $67 million. Net debt excluding lease accounting liabilities fell 18% year on year to $656 million.

Quarterly IFRS revenue declined 12% to $236 million, and the net loss was $10 million versus a $41 million profit. Adjusted segment EBITDAs fell 40% to $100 million. Geoscience revenue rose 3% to $112 million; Earth Data revenue fell 49% to $69 million against exceptional prior-year transfer fees, while Sensing & Monitoring revenue dropped 18% to $56 million amid Middle East disruption.

Viridien confirmed its $100 million full-year net cash flow objective and announced a partial early redemption of euro-denominated bonds for November. An operational review of Sensing & Monitoring is underway.

How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

"including a marginal -$2m IFRS 15 timing impact on revenue recognition."
IFRS 15 is an international accounting rule that tells companies when and how to record revenue from contracts with customers, covering sales, services, subscriptions and multi-part deals. It matters to investors because it determines the timing and amount of revenue shown in financial reports, affecting profit figures, comparisons between companies, and valuation models — think of it like rules for deciding when to count partial payments for a long project as income.
ifrs 16 financial
"Net Debt (excluding IFRS 16) declined to $656m at end-September 2026"
An international accounting rule that requires companies to record most leases on their balance sheet as assets and matching obligations, rather than keeping them off the books. Think of it like treating a long-term rental of a car as if the company owned it for accounting purposes; this makes a company’s assets, liabilities and reported profits more transparent so investors can better compare financial strength, debt levels and cash flow trends across businesses.
ebitda financial
"Segment adjusted EBITDAs of $100m, down -40% year on year"
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.

Paris (France), November 3, 2026

2026 third-quarter results
Solid cash generation and continued deleveraging
Further evidence of commercial recovery

  • Net Cash Flow of $35m in Q3, bringing 9M 2026 to $67m vs $62m in 9M 2025, supported by Geoscience’s performance and working-capital normalization

  • Net Debt (excluding IFRS 16) of $656m at end-September, down -18% year on year. A further partial early redemption of the bond, targeting the euro-denominated tranche, has been announced for November, supporting the Group’s deleveraging trajectory

  • Geoscience returned to growth, with revenue of $112m, up +3% year on year and +17% sequentially, reflecting strong execution and backlog conversion. Commercial momentum remains healthy, supported by sustained customer engagement

  • Earth Data revenue of $69m, down -49% year on year, reflecting a high comparison base with Q3 2025, which benefited from exceptional transfer fees. Commercial momentum continues to build across frontier basins, while year-to-date E&P performance provides a supportive backdrop for Q4 revenue

  • Sensing & Monitoring revenue of $56m, down -18% year on year, still negatively impacted by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. An operational review is underway to further strengthen the business and position it to capture growth opportunities as market conditions recover

  • Segment adjusted EBITDAs of $100m, down -40% year on year, largely due to the significant contribution from the exceptional transfer fees in Q3 2025

  • FY 2026 Net Cash Flow objective of $100m confirmed

Henning Berg, CEO of Viridien: “While market conditions remain uneven across our businesses, I am particularly pleased with Geoscience’s performance, which returned to growth as strong execution translated backlog into revenue. Solid cash generation during the quarter and continued deleveraging also underline our focus on further strengthening the Group’s financial position. Overall, sector sentiment continues to improve. Looking ahead, stronger customer engagement and sustained commercial activity reinforce our confidence in a more supportive market environment in Q4, with further momentum expected into 2027”.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS PER BUSINESS LINE3

Data, Digital and Energy Transition (DDE): GEO back to growth, EDA outlook encouraging

Segment Revenue of $181m

Geoscience (GEO)

  • Revenue of $112m, up +3% year on year
  • Q3 revenue increased 17% sequentially, reflecting effective backlog execution. Activity remained robust in mature basins, including the U.S. Gulf and Mexico, where Geoscience delivered major high-end reprocessing projects for IOCs and regional NOCs seeking to unlock new exploration opportunities in a capital-efficient manner. Emerging areas such as Guyana also remained very active
  • Commercial activity remains dynamic, with the cumulative value of pending bids (i.e. tenders for which proposals have either been submitted and are awaiting award, or are currently being prepared) up by a high double-digit percentage year on year, supporting the outlook for order intake over the coming months. Backlog stood at $267m at end-September 2026 and increased to $283m at end-October 2026, with additional verbal awards not yet formalized representing several tens of millions of dollars
  • Computing capacity reached 765 petaflops at end-September 2026, up +21% year on year. Productivity per employee increased to $409k, compared with $374k one year earlier (+9%)

Earth Data (EDA)

  • Revenue of $69m, down -49% year on year, reflecting both the impact of exceptionally high transfer fees recorded in Q3 2025 and lower prefunding revenue. Earth Data capital expenditure amounted to $36m in Q3, down -20% year on year, reflecting changes in the phasing of certain projects. Late sales were satisfactory and remained in line with normal seasonal levels
  • Cash EBITDA of $19m vs $73m in Q3 2025, again reflecting an exceptionally strong prior-year comparison driven by significant transfer fees

Segment adjusted EBITDAs of $112m, representing a 62% margin, the highest quarterly level in 2026, with GEO profitability improving both sequentially and year on year.

Sensing and Monitoring (SMO): Market conditions remain challenging

Segment Revenue of $56m, down -18% year on year, as geopolitical uncertainty in the Middle East continued to weigh on market activity.

Segment adjusted EBITDAs of -$5m and Segment adjusted Operating Income of -$11m.

With geopolitical uncertainty continuing to weigh on SMO, Viridien has initiated an operational review to further to further adapt SMO’s operating model and lower its break-even point, while preserving the capabilities required to capture future opportunities as market conditions recover.

CONSOLIDATED IFRS FIGURES4

Profit & Loss: Marginal IFRS 15 timing impact in Q3 2026

Consolidated IFRS revenue reached $236m in Q3 2026, including a marginal -$2m IFRS 15 timing impact on revenue recognition. IFRS EBITDAs stood at $98m, reflecting a similarly limited adjustment. IFRS net income was -$10m, mainly reflecting -$73m of depreciation and amortization (including -$65m related to Earth Data projects), -$10m of IFRS 16 lease-related expenses, -$23m in net cost of financial debt, and a +$1m contribution from income taxes.

Net Debt (excluding IFRS 16) declined to $656m at end-September 2026, compared with $735m at end-December 2025 and $804m at end-September 2025. Viridien remains firmly focused on deleveraging, with Net Cash Flow generation primarily allocated to debt reduction. Consistent with this strategy, and in accordance with the terms of its bond documentation, the Group has announced a new partial early bond redemption for November, targeting the euro-denominated tranche.

As of September 30, 2026, Viridien maintained a strong liquidity position, including a $125m RCF5.

OUTLOOK

Viridien continues to see improving commercial momentum across frontier basins, with further signs that the offshore investment cycle is entering a recovery phase. E&P companies are advancing projects and positioning to secure new acreage, supporting demand for legacy-data reprocessing and selective new data acquisition. Meanwhile, mature basins continue to provide solid opportunities for high-end imaging and reservoir optimization, supported by renewed investment driven by natural field depletion and increasing energy security requirements.

Overall sector sentiment is increasingly positive, with stronger customer engagement and sustained commercial activity supporting the Group’s confidence in a more favorable market environment in Q4 and further momentum into 2027.

Viridien confirms its FY 2026 Net Cash Flow objective of $100m.

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 2025 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 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, Norway and Guyana.

8 IFRS 15 requires that Earth Data prefunding revenues be recognized only upon delivery of the final processed data, that is, when the performance obligation is fulfilled. As a result, revenue and margin recognition for ongoing surveys is deferred. Viridien’s segment reporting, however, continues to apply the percentage-of-completion method previously used before the adoption of IFRS 15, for recognizing Earth Data prefunding revenues and associated margins
