2026 first-quarter results

Solid cash generation and continued deleveraging in a soft market environment

   -- Net Cash Flow generation of $26m compared to -$20m in Q1 2025, driven by 
      disciplined cash management and efficient receivables collection 
 
   -- Further reduction in Net Debt (excluding IFRS 16) to $702m vs $735m at 
      end-December 2025, with an additional $40.7m repaid in March on the 
      USD-denominated bond tranche 
 
   -- Segment revenue of $214m, reflecting a slow start to the year as 
      anticipated, with additional uncertainty stemming from the ongoing 
      conflict in the Middle East, impacting SMO and GEO 
 
   -- Profitability reflecting lower revenue, with segment adjusted EBITDAs of 
      $76m 
 
   -- FY 2026 guidance for Net Cash Flow generation of $100m, with a seasonal 
      profile similar to 2025, reiterated 

Sophie Zurquiyah, Chair and CEO of Viridien: "As expected, we experienced a soft start to the year, due to increased caution from E&P companies in recent months. The situation in the Middle East added further uncertainty, notably for Sensing & Monitoring and Geoscience. In this context, we delivered solid cash generation, underscoring the strength of our asset-light model and disciplined cash management. We also continued to deleverage, allocating an additional $41m to bond repayment, reducing net debt to around $700m. We reiterate our Net Cash Flow objective of $100m for the full year 2026, with performance expected to be weighted towards the second half as in 2025."

KEY HIGHLIGHTS PER BUSINESS LINE(3)

Data, Digital and Energy Transition $(DDE)$: Impacted by market environment and project phasing

Segment revenue at $153

Geoscience $(GEO)$

   -- Revenue at $98m 
 
   -- Q1 activity was driven by large projects in Brazil and the US Gulf. 
      Africa also showed good momentum, with increasing engagement from IOCs, 
      particularly in the Angolan basin. However, Q1 figures were down 
      year-on-year due to delays in client project approvals in recent months, 
      further accentuated by the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East 
 
   -- Viridien demonstrated agility, maintaining computing power at 690 
      petaflops during the period, while productivity per employee remained 
      steady at $388k 

Earth Data (EDA)

   -- Revenue at $54m 
 
   -- Capex spending was limited during the period, reflecting the phasing of 
      multi-client projects and resulting in lower prefunding revenue, mainly 
      generated from projects in the US Gulf, Norway and Uruguay. Late sales 
      reflected the usual negative seasonality of the first quarter. Q1 2025 
      also represented a challenging comparison base 

Segment adjusted EBITDAs at $89m (36% margin) given the significantly lower EDA contribution, while profitability at GEO held very well. EDA Cash EBITDA, however, came in at a positive $15m, also reflecting the flexibility embedded in the business model.

Sensing and Monitoring (SMO): Impacted by a slow market and the Middle East conflict

Segment revenue at $61m. Oil & Gas business contracted in both land and marine markets, in a soft market environment further impacted by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. New businesses remained well oriented, growing mid-single digit and presenting 20% of SMO's total revenue over the period.

Segment adjusted EBITDAs at -$7m, reflecting the significantly lower level of activity and adverse forex (with the US dollar averaging 1.18 over the quarter versus 1.04 a year ago, while SMO's cost base is primarily in euros).

Segment adjusted operating income at -$13m.

CONSOLIDATED IFRS FIGURES(4)

Profit & Loss: Net income of -$10m, but improved threefold vs last year

Consolidated IFRS revenue for Q1 2026 came in at $200m, with a $13m negative impact related to IFRS15 restatements (primarily related to the Laconia project in the US Gulf, still in imaging phase). IFRS EBITDAs at $63m and reflecting the same restatement impact vs the segment figure. IFRS Net Income reached -$10m vs -$28m a year ago, after mainly accounting for -$42m of leases and D&A, -$25m net cost of financial debt, and -$3m of income taxes.

Cash Flow Statement and Debt: Solid Net Cash Flow generation, Gross Debt brought further down

Net Cash Flow of $26m generated in Q1 2026 vs -$20m a year ago. As a reminder, Q1 2025 integrated a $39m cash out linked to the anticipated payment of interests catalyzed by the early bond refinancing at the end of March 2025. Given the slower start to the year, the Q1 2026 Net Cash Flow generation proves resilient, mirroring a disciplined cash management approach from Viridien and the increased flexibility provided by its asset-light business model. Additional outstanding receivables were successfully recovered from PEMEX, reflecting sustained engagement and the critical role of Viridien as a key supplier.

The 10% annual optional redemption at 103% included in Viridien's bond documentation renewed, for a 12-month period, on March 25, 2026. As early as the end of March, the Group leveraged this option and repaid an additional principal amount of $40.7m of the then-outstanding bonds, fully executing the option on the USD-denominated tranche. As of the date of publication of this press release, the remaining outstanding principal on the bonds amounts to $366m for the USD-denominated tranche (annual coupon of 10%) and EUR430m ($494m) for the EUR-denominated tranche (annual coupon of 8.5%).

With Gross Debt (excluding IFRS 16) of $857m at end-March 2026, the Group reduced its leverage by close to $140m year-on-year and by close to $310m compared with end-March 2024.

The solid operational execution, continued deleveraging trajectory, and significant strengthening of its financial profile led S&P to upgrade the Company's long-term credit rating to "B" with a stable outlook in early April, from "B-" with a positive outlook previously. In parallel, the rating on the Company's senior secured notes was raised to "B+" from "B" previously. A week earlier, Moody's confirmed Viridien's corporate rating at "B2" with a stable outlook, maintaining its assessment of the Group's credit profile while highlighting the increased resilience of its business model and the relevance of its strategy. Last December, Fitch Ratings also confirmed its rating at "B" with a stable outlook,

As of March 31, 2026, Viridien maintained a strong liquidity position, including a $125m RCF(5) .

OUTLOOK

The situation in the Middle East remains uncertain, and Viridien continues to closely monitor developments.

While some delays in project approvals may persist in the near term, these are primarily related to timing effects rather than underlying demand.

Beyond the near term, structural drivers are supportive. Current tensions highlight the importance of energy security and supply diversification. Combined with accelerating field depletion and a prolonged period of underinvestment, this is expected to drive a renewed cycle in exploration spending across both frontier and mature basins.

In this context, the Group reiterates its 2026 guidance of $100m in Net Cash Flow generation, with a seasonal profile similar to 2025.

(1) Quarterly financial statements are unaudited and not subject to any review

(2) The net debt calculation has been revised to exclude accrued interest, thereby aligning Viridien's methodology with its banking documentation

(3) Please refer to the "Definitions of Alternative Performance Indicators" in the appendices for explanations of the terms used in this section

(4) The reconciliation of alternative performance indicators to the consolidated financial statements is provided in the appendices, along with their definitions

(5) $125m RCF of which $25m ancillary guarantee facility (used for $18m) and $100m fully undrawn

(6) Including a $29m negative foreign exchange impact compared to March 31, 2025. Net of capitalized refinancing fees

(7) The net debt calculation has been revised to exclude accrued interest, thereby aligning Viridien's methodology with its banking documentation

(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
