Paris (France), April 29, 2025
A SOLID START TO THE YEAR, WITH SUCCESSFUL REFINANCING
AND VESSEL CAPACITY AGREEMENT TERMINATED
| Q11 | ||
| Revenue2 | $301M (+10%) | |
| Adjusted EBITDA2 | $143M (+35%) | |
| Net Cash Flow | $(20)M (vs $30M) Including a $42M interest payment in March 2025 (historically paid in Q2) |
Sophie Zurquiyah, Chief Executive Officer of Viridien:
“The first quarter of 2025 was marked by two significant milestones for the Group: the termination of the vessel capacity agreement, completing our transition toward an asset-light model, and the successful refinancing of our bonds. The end of the vessel capacity agreement opens a new chapter of enhanced flexibility in our cost base and stronger cash generation, while our bond refinancing reflects the financial market’s confidence in the execution of our strategy and our long-term potential.
In parallel, our financial results for the first quarter of 2025 confirm the robust performance of our business, with commercial wins, solid profitability, and cash generation fully aligned with our long-term ambitions.
Assuming moderate fluctuations in the oil market, we expect to achieve our target of approximately $100M in Net Cash Flow generation for the year and to continue our deleveraging journey.”
