About VIRIDIEN

Viridien is a French listed company on Euronext Paris, identified by ISIN FR001400PVN6. Formerly known as CGG, the group officially adopted the Viridien name in May 2024. Its headquarters are in Massy, near Paris, and the company employs around 3,500 people worldwide. Founded in 1931, Viridien initially focused on geophysical techniques for assessing subsurface resources. Over time, it developed a deep specialization in seismic technologies and subsurface data processing, then broadened its scope toward digital solutions, infrastructure monitoring, and energy-transition-related applications. Today, Viridien presents itself as an advanced technology, digital, and Earth data company, with an asset-light business model focused on highly differentiated activities. The group is organized around two main business segments. The first, Data, Digital & Energy Transition (DDE), includes Geoscience and Earth Data. This segment transforms marine and land seismic data into high-definition images of the subsurface, helping customers with exploration, reservoir optimization, and development decisions. It also provides digital capabilities such as high-performance computing (HPC), cloud services, and platform, data, and software-as-a-service offerings. The second segment, Sensing & Monitoring (SMO), designs and commercializes high-end seismic acquisition equipment, sensors, and infrastructure-monitoring solutions. From a competitive standpoint, Viridien stands out for its long-standing expertise in subsurface imaging, geoscience, and high-performance sensing technologies. The company highlights a strong installed base, a differentiated technical offering, and sustained research and development investment, which has averaged about 6% of revenues in recent years. Customer satisfaction is also emphasized in its reporting: the group disclosed an NPS of 85 in 2025, indicating very strong client loyalty and satisfaction. Viridien also announced a net-zero-by-2050 commitment across all greenhouse gas emission scopes in 2025, reinforcing its positioning around the energy transition. Geographically, Viridien operates globally and serves international clients across major oil and gas basins, including North America and the Middle East, as well as offshore and onshore markets worldwide. Its technologies are also used in adjacent sectors such as mining and infrastructure. Recent financial disclosures point to a solid operating momentum: for 2025, segment revenue reached $1.165 billion, up 4% year on year, while profitability and cash generation improved meaningfully. In strategic terms, Viridien is best described as a legacy geophysics leader that has successfully evolved into a technology-driven player combining Earth data, digital infrastructure, and industrial sensing capabilities.
