*2024-2026 Market Trends: Mid-single digit growth of our core market and accelerated growth of our New Businesses*
· CGG anticipates market demand for its core businesses to continue to grow at yearly mid-single digit through 2026 sustained by offshore international activity and the middle east, selected exploration in key basins, and eventually an increasing need for technologies and subsurface understanding.
· Building on its key technology and proven expertise, CGG is strongly positioned to address the critical needs of new markets in low carbon (CCUS and Minerals and Mining), High Performance Computing (HPC) and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). These three businesses are expected to develop rapidly at a CAGR above 30% during the period 2024 – 2026.
*CGG 2024–2025 financial roadmap: deleveraging the balance sheet: *
· CGG anticipates net cash generation to accelerate and represent around $100 million in 2025, based on the end of our vessel commitment and continued operational improvement, notably in SMO as well as growth of our core and New Businesses fueled by selective increase in organic investment.
· Based on this solid cash generation over the period 2024-2025 and with a reduced $100 million cash need to run its operations, CGG has a clear 2024-2025 financial trajectory, starting with the extension of the RCF in 2024, a re-rating discussion with the Rating Agencies and with eventually about $300 million of cash available for a gross debt buyback program and/or reduced refinancing before Q1 2026.
· To ignite its financial 2024-2025 roadmap, CGG announces its intention to repurchase a first tranche of $30 million debt in 2024.
*Full Year 2024 financial objectives*^*1*
· In 2024, segment revenue is expected to be aligned with 2023:
· Geoscience: continued growth driven by technology and demand for low carbon.
· Earth Data: increase driven by transfer fees and favorable impact of delayed 2023 licensing rounds.
· Sensing & Monitoring: to be down due to lower numbers of mega-projects.
· New Businesses expected to grow by more than 30%
· 2024 segment EBITDAs is expected to be positively impacted by business mix.
· 2024 EDA cash Capex is expected to be around $175 -$200m with prefunding above 75%.
· CGG is anticipating 2024 positive net cash flow^2 to reach a similar level as 2023, considering that it is the last year of the negative impact of the vessel contractual commitment with Shearwater.
