Sophie Zurquiyah, Chief Executive
Officer of Viridien, said:
“Our results since the start of the year
demonstrate the strength of our strategic vision, with technology
leadership, new business growth, and cash flow all showing
significant progress.
Geoscience was particularly strong this quarter,
leveraging its clear differentiation, best-in class imaging
technology and HPC computing power to achieve a record high order
book. In Earth Data, the Laconia project, using our most advanced
technology, saw increased prefunding and is continuing to progress
well.
Sensing & Monitoring is actively
implementing its adaption plan and is on track to achieve in 2025
the expected outcomes in cost reduction and operational flexibility
to improve performance across the industry cycles.
Lastly, we continue to address our financial
roadmap with the implementation of the bond buyback program and
looking forward, reaffirm our full-year targets”.
Third Quarter
Highlights2
-
Group2
- IFRS Revenue, EBITDA and Net Income
of respectively $219 million, $71 million, $(10) million.
- Overall group revenue decline in
absence of mega crew in Sensing & Monitoring (SMO, revenue down
50%) compared to Q3 2023. Stable DDE revenue, with very strong
momentum at Geoscience (revenue + 32% and order intake +91%).
- Group adjusted EBITDA of $98M,
including -$12M penalty fees from vessel commitment. DDE Adjusted
EBITDA of $108 million, up 5% thanks to strong Geoscience
performance. SMO adjusted EBITDA of $1M (vs $12M).
- Net Cash flow of $10 million,
including -$18 million contractual fees from vessel
commitment.
- Implementation of the bond buy back
program. $25M already bought on the $30M 2024 program as of October
31 (o.w. $12M bought and cancelled as of September 30).
- Liquidity at $442 million (including
$100 million undrawn RCF).
- Digital,
Data and Energy Transition (DDE)
- Revenue $187 million, up 1%:
strong revenue growth at Geoscience offset by lower level of
aftersale at Earth Data.
- Adjusted EBITDA $108 million, up
5%: profitability impacted by -$12 million in penalty fees from
vessel commitments (vs -$20 million during Q3 2003).
- Geoscience
- Revenue at $103 million (+32%).
- Geoscience performance continues to
be driven by technology leadership. Order intake (up 91%) benefits
from best in class imaging technology, new UK HPC hub and increased
activity in the Middle East.
- The new businesses confirm positive
momentum, both in CCUS with the release of the latest phase of Gulf
of Mexico Carbon Storage Study to support upcoming lease rounds and
in Minerals & Mining with the award of a sensing program in
Oman, to identify, map and rank mineralization prospectivity
potential.
- Earth Data
- Revenue: $83 million (-22%).
- Prefunding revenue at $58 million
(+4%). First contribution of the Laconia project in the Gulf of
Mexico. Weaker after-sales in Q3 (down 50% at $26 million) with
unfavorable cut offs.
- New businesses: revenue from the
Norwegian survey for Carbon storage leading to the reprocessing of
legacy data in the area.
- Sensing
and Monitoring (SMO)
- Revenue at $59 million, down 51%
across land and marine products, following delivery of the “mega
crew” systems in 2023.
- Adjusted EBITDA at $1 million (vs
$12M).
- Transformation plan on track to
achieve the expected cost reduction and operational
flexibility.
- New businesses representing 17% of
revenue. Delivery of land seismic nodes for large-scale seismic
surveys planned in urban areas to target energy resources,
including geothermal.
- 2024
