KEY HIGHLIGHTS PER BUSINESS LINE2

Data, Digital and Energy Transition (DDE)

Segment revenue at $244 m in Q3 2025, up +31% year-on-year, with strong Earth Data late sales.

Geoscience (GEO)

Revenue at $108 m (+5%)

Activity remains strong, fueled by large OBN projects offshore Brazil and in the US Gulf, with additional support from the Middle East

Earth Data (EDA)

Revenue at $136 m (+63%), fueled by market appetite for high-end data and recent M&A transactions

Good progress on the Megabar Extension Phase 1 project in Brazil. Overall EDA capex reduced thanks to a higher share of projects developed in partnership

Segment adjusted EBITDAs at $167 m, up +70% year-on-year, with a margin lifted to 70% vs 58% in Q3 2024 given the massive flow through of EDA's late sales. EDA Cash EBITDA at $73 m vs -$13 m in Q3 2024.

Sensing and Monitoring (SMO)

Segment revenue at $69 m in Q3 2025, +16% increase year-on-year. Activity remains largely driven by the Land segment, with a mix of flagship high-productivity surveys ongoing in North America and medium-to-small crews ensuring business resilience across South America, the Middle East, and Asia.

Segment adjusted EBITDAs at $4 m, compared to $1 m in Q3 2024. Profitability benefited from the higher level of activity and a more streamlined cost structure resulting from the restructuring plan. Note that adverse foreign exchange effects from the depreciation of the U.S. dollar negatively impacted performance by approximately $3 million, as SMO bears most of its cost base in euros.

Segment adjusted operating income at -$2 m vs -$7m in Q3 2024. At constant exchange rates versus last year, operating income would have reached $1m, consistent with the objective of the past 24-month restructuring plan to reduce SMO's break-even point to a run-rate of around $270m in annual revenue.

CONSOLIDATED IFRS FIGURES3

Profit & Loss

Consolidated IFRS revenue for Q3 2025 came in at $266m, up +22% year-on-year. EBITDAs stood at $120m, up +70%.

IFRS Net Income reached $41m, vs -$10m in Q3 2024, after accounting notably for -$43 m of leases and D&A, -$27m net cost of financial debt, and -$9m of income taxes.

Cash Flow and Net debt

Net Cash Flow of $53m generated in Q3 2025, bringing the cumulative figure at end-September to $62m. Performance was driven by Segment EBITDAs and disciplined capex, while the change in working capital continues to weigh on cash generation. The Group continues, in particular, to work actively on collecting overdue receivables from the Mexican National Oil Company, PEMEX.

Viridien continues to actively manage its liabilities in line with its commitments to deleverage the Group and optimize financing costs. In this context:

In July 2025, the Group obtained two unsecured loans of €5m each from Bpifrance, the French public investment bank. These loans have a 4-year maturity and carry attractive annual interest rates of around 4.6%, roughly half the cost of existing debt;

In early October 2025, the Group executed a partial bond redemption at 103, as provided for under the bond documentation, using available cash to repurchase $25m of its USD-denominated tranche and €20m ($23m) of its EUR-denominated one. This transaction will generate annual interest savings of approximately $4.5m going forward.

Both initiatives will further enhance the Group's future Net Cash Flow and support its ongoing deleveraging trajectory. As of end-September 2025, Viridien maintained a strong liquidity position, including a $125m RCF4.
