Viridien Announces its 2026 First Quarter Results
Paris, France | May 5, 2026
Solid cash generation and continued deleveraging in a soft market environment
Viridien (ISIN: FR001400PVN6), a global technology and high-performance computing (HPC) leader, announced today its first quarter results.
- 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, said: “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.”
