STATEMENT BY THE PERSONS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT

We hereby certify that, to the best of our knowledge, the condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the applicable accounting standards, and that they give a true and fair view of the assets, financial position and results of the Company and of all companies within its scope of consolidation, and that the half-year business report on pages 29 to 36 presents a fair view of the significant events occurring during the first six months of the year, their impact on the financial statements, the main related-party transactions and that it describes the main risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year.

Chief Executive Officer Group Chief Financial Officer

To the Shareholders,

In compliance with the assignment entrusted to us by your Annual General Meeting and in accordance with the requirements of Article L. 451-1-2 III of the French Monetary and Financial Code ("Code monétaire et financier"), we hereby report to you on:

  • the review of the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements of CGG, for the period from January 1 to June 30, 2023;
  • the verification of the information presented in the half-yearly management report.

These condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Board of Directors. Our role is to express a conclusion on these financial statements based on our review.

1. Conclusion on the financial statements

We conducted our review in accordance with professional standards applicable in France. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with professional standards applicable in France and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 – standard of the IFRSs as adopted by the European Union applicable to interim financial information.

2. Specific verification

We have also verified the information presented in the half-yearly management report on the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements subject to our review.

We have no matters to report as to its fair presentation and consistency with the condensed half-yearly consolidated financial statements.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This document includes "forward-looking statements". We have based these forward-looking statements on our current views and assumptions about future events. These forwardlooking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following risk factors:

Risks related to our Business and Strategy

  • Demand for our products and services largely depends on the oil and gas industry activity, and lower capital expenditures by our clients or by the oil and gas industry in general could materially impact our business
  • We operate in a highly competitive environment and unanticipated changes relating to competitive factors in our industry may impact our results of operation
  • We are seeing inflationary pressure coming from goods, services and wages. Our failure to pass these costs on to our clients and to increase prices would result in reduced margins
  • We are subject to risks related to our international operations and to global economic and geopolitical volatility
  • The failure of our strategic partners to perform their obligations in accordance with our expectations may have an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations
  • The performance of our business is subject to demand for, and continued exploration, development and production of oil and gas; the reduction in the consumption of carbon-based energy products could significantly impair our business and reduce demand for our products and services
  • We are subject to the risk that the global community, governments, stakeholders and their carbon neutral commitments, impose increased pressures on the regulatory bodies, investors, bankers, insurers and other players, including but not limited to our clients and suppliers to distance themselves from O&G related companies.

Risks related to our Operations

  • We are subject to loss or destruction of key assets, including physical infrastructure such as data centers and factories
  • We may need to impair goodwill or the carrying value of other assets and liabilities on our balance sheet
  • We rely on third party suppliers and are subject to disruptions outside our control and especially to shortages of electronic components that renders us dependent on the supply
  • We are subject to a risk of obsolescence of our existing technology, products and services
  • Our proprietary technology could be rendered obsolete or misappropriated by third parties
  • The use of our intellectual property and other proprietary information and know-how by an unauthorized third party could reduce or eliminate any competitive advantage that has been developed and consequently cause us to

lose market share or otherwise adversely affect our business, operating results or financial condition.

Risks related to Information Technology, Information Security and Intellectual Property

We are subject to risks related to our information technology, including cyber security risks and risks of hardware and software failures

Risks related to our People

Our business is dependent on key people and key expertise such as highly skilled scientists, engineers and technicians, and our inability to retain, recruit and develop these resources may impact our results of operation

Risks related to Economy and Finance

  • We face risks related to our liquidity needs and substantial indebtedness
  • We are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations

Legal & Regulatory Risks

  • We are subject to the risk of regulatory changes in the countries in which we operate
  • Our business is subject to complex laws and governmental regulations, including permits and other licensing requirements, in the various jurisdictions in which we operate, and our failure to comply with them may subject us to legal proceedings in these jurisdictions
  • Our failure to comply with the restrictions and covenants in our current and future debt agreements may trigger cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions; our assets might not be sufficient to repay in full all of our outstanding indebtedness and we may be unable to find alternative financing
  • We have been and expect to continue to be subject to different types of attempted fraud, both internal, i.e. perpetrated against the Company by an employee, and external, i.e. third party attempt to defraud the Company, which could subject us to penalties and reputational damage.

We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forwardlooking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Certain of these risks are described in our Universal Registration Document for the year ended December 31, 2022; the French version of which we filed with the AMF on March 16, 2023. Our Universal Registration Document is available in French and English on our website at www.cgg.com or on the website maintained by the AMF (French only) at www.amf-france.org. You may request a copy of our Universal Registration Document, which includes our complete audited financial statements, at no charge, by calling our investor relations department at + 33 1 6447 3811, sending an electronic message to [email protected] or writing to CGG – Investor Relations Department – 27, avenue Carnot – 91341 Massy, France.

The Board of Directors has authorized these condensed interim consolidated financial statements on July 27, 2023.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars and have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain financial assets and liabilities that have been measured at fair value.

1.1 - Critical accounting policies

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in its Universal Registration Document for the year 2022 filed with the AMF on March 16, 2023 and approved by the General Meeting on May 4, 2023.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

In addition, the Group has adopted the following new Standards, Amendments, and Interpretations applicable since January 1, 2023:

  • Amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies
  • Amendments to IAS 8 "Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors": Definition of Accounting Estimates
  • Amendments to IAS 12 "Income Taxes": Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction

The adoption of the new Standards, Amendments, and Interpretations had no significant impact on the Group's condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

At the date of issuance of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the following Standards, Amendments, and Interpretations were not yet adopted by the European Union and were thus not effective:

  • Amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements": Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current
  • Amendment to IFRS 16 "Leases": Lease liability arising from a sale and leaseback (issued on 22 September 2022)
  • Amendments to IAS 12 "Income taxes": International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules (issued 23 May 2023)
  • Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements

The review of the amendments IAS 1 and IFRS 16 is ongoing to assess the potential impacts on our consolidated financial statements and no significant impact is expected at this date.

As the application of IAS 12 to Pillar Two income taxes is unclear and before the amendment to IAS 12 is endorsed, we applied our judgment and concluded that not accounting for deferred taxes is the most reliable accounting policy as of June 30, 2023. The assessment of the Pillar Two exposure is ongoing.

1.2 - Use of judgment and estimates

The preparation of interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates due to changes in economic conditions, changes in laws and regulations, changes in strategy and the inherent imprecision associated with the use of estimates.

Key judgments and estimates used in the financial statements are summarized in the following table:

High Yield Bonds (US\$500 million of 8.75 % and €585 million of 7.75 %, Senior Notes, maturity 2027)

On April 1, 2021, CGG issued US\$500 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 and €585 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (together, the "2027 Notes").

These notes are listed on the Euro MTF of the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by certain subsidiaries of CGG SA. The fair value measurement of the 2027 Notes is categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

The 2027 Notes do not include any financial "maintenance covenant". Nevertheless, they include limitations on

US\$ 100 million Revolving Credit Facility

incurrence of additional indebtedness, pledges, asset sales, issuances and sales of equity instruments, investments in minority owned companies and dividend payments.

The 2027 Notes were issued at a price of 100% of their principal amount.

The 2027 Notes and the revolving credit facility share the same security package encompassing notably the US Earth Data Library, the shares of the main Sercel entities (Sercel SAS and Sercel Inc.), the shares of significant DDE operating entities, and certain intercompany loans.

Revolving Credit Facility 2021 2025 100.0 - 5.0 95.0

On April 1, 2021 CGG entered into a US\$100 million Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility Agreement with a 4.5 year maturity and secured by the same security package as the 2027 Notes. An ancillary facility of \$5m was signed in February 2023 for the issuance of bonds, guarantees and letter of credit reducing the available commitment under RCF to \$95m. Interest rate is calculated according to SOFR rate increased by a 5% margin, downward revisable depending Group rating and greenhouse gas emission reduction targets.

Pursuant to the RCF agreement, if the drawing exceeds 40% of the facility, the Group is required to quarterly comply with a maximum ratio of total "Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage" to "Consolidated EBITDA" of 3.50:1 for each rolling 12- months period. These terms are defined in the aforementioned RCF agreement as follows:

  • "Consolidated Senior Secured Net Leverage" is defined as Senior Secured Indebtedness less cash and cash equivalents
  • "Consolidated EBITDA" is computed on Segment figures and is defined as net income before interest, tax, depreciation, amortization and non-recurring items.

The revolving credit facility include some limitations on additional indebtedness subscriptions, pledges arrangements, asset sale, issuance and sale of equity instruments, investment in minority owned companies and dividends payments.

The 2027 Notes and RCF share the same security package encompassing notably the US assets, the shares of the main Sercel entities (Sercle SAS and Sercel Inc.), the shares of significant DDE operating entities, and certain intercompany loans.

Other loans

In September 2022, CGG has entered into an asset financing arrangement to further develop its HPC and Cloud solutions capabilities. Under this agreement, the financial institution agreed to pay on CGG's behalf and upon CGG instructions some selected supplier's invoices. In return CGG is committed to repay this loan under a repayment schedule previously agreed upon. Each invoice being considered in this agreement is treated as a separate loan with specific repayment schedule. The financing arrangement is accounted as a financial debt and is not considered as payables. It amounts to US\$30.9 million as of June 30,2023 including a long term portion for US\$18.9 million. The cash flows are presented as financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Capacity Agreement and Idle Vessel Compensation

CGG and Shearwater signed a Capacity Agreement on January 8, 2020, a marine data acquisition service contract, under the terms of which CGG is committed to using Shearwater's vessel capacity in its Earth Data business over a five-year period, at an average of 730 days per year.

The Capacity Agreement provides compensation of Shearwater for days when more than one of its high-end seismic vessels are idle, up to a maximum of three vessels.

The maximum Idle Vessel Compensation amount for a full year came to US\$(21.9) million.

Step-In Agreement

Following of our strategic partnership with Shearwater in Marine Data Acquisition and our exit from of seismic vessel operations, Shearwater CharterCo AS has entered into fiveyear bareboat charter agreements with the GSS subsidiaries, guaranteed by Shearwater, for the five high-end vessels equipped with streamers. As part of the Step-In Agreement, CGG has agreed to substitute itself for Shearwater CharterCo AS as charterer of GSS subsidiaries' five high-end seismic vessels (equipped with streamers) in the event of a payment default under the charter party between the GSS subsidiaries and Shearwater CharterCo AS. In accordance with the Payment Instruction Agreement, the payments of the payables in relation with the Capacity Agreement and due by Shearwater CharterCo AS to the subsidiaries of GSS, under the Shearwater bareboat charters, are made directly by CGG.

Were the Step-in Agreements to be triggered:

CGG would be entitled to terminate the Capacity Agreement;

At June 30, 2023, the residual commitment (discounted) in respect of Idle Vessel Compensation through to the end of the five-year period was US\$(32) million.

On June 30, 2023, effective on July 1 st, 2023, CGG and Shearwater signed an amendment to the Capacity Agreement, which sets a Fixed Activity Rate, and cancel the variable market rate mechanism. The amendment had no effect on the related balance sheet liability. The Idle Vessel Compensation is also fixed to its maximum full year amount of US\$21.9 million until the end of the Capacity Agreement on January 8, 2025.

  • CGG would become the charterer of the five high-end seismic vessels equipped with streamers under bareboat charter agreements; and
  • CGG would be entitled, through pledge in its favor, to acquire all the share capital of GSS, knowing that GSS and its subsidiaries' principal assets would be the vessels and streamers and its principal liabilities would be the external debt associated with the vessels.

The Step-In Agreements will not impact the statement of financial position unless a trigger, as described above, occurs. In such circumstances, the obligations under the Capacity Agreement should be terminated and replaced by the obligations under the Step-In Agreements, representing a lower amount of commitment compared to the Capacity Agreement.

NOTE 8 ANALYSIS BY OPERATING SEGMENT

Segment presentation and discontinued operations

The financial information by segment is reported in accordance with our internal reporting system and provides internal segment information that is used by the chief operating decision maker to manage and measure performance.

The 2021 strategic roadmap announced in November 2018 aimed at implementing an asset light business model by reducing CGG's exposure to the contractual data acquisition business. As a result of the strategic announcements and actions undertaken subsequently, we presented our contractual data acquisition operations and the costs of implementation of the related measures, referred to as the CGG 2021 Plan, in accordance with IFRS 5, as discontinued operations and assets held for sale.

Data, Digital & Energy Transition (DDE)

This operating segment comprises the Geoscience business lines (processing and imaging of geophysical data, reservoir characterization, geophysical consulting and geoscience software sales and services) and the Earth Data (ex multiclient) business line (development and management of a seismic and geological data library that we undertake and license to a number of clients on a non-exclusive basis). Both activities regularly combine their offerings, generating overall synergies between their respective activities.

Beyond the core, CGG is leveraging on its technologies and expertise to address the fast-growing markets of Digital Sciences and Energy Transition.

In Digital Sciences, we focused on our long-standing leadership in digital technology, especially as applied to geoscience, to develop an integrated expert solution including the hardware platform, middleware and software services that are required to cost effectively support advanced cloud-based High-Performance Computing (HPC) workflows and data transformation services. In this platform, we notably propose data, algorithm and software as a service (DaaS/SaaS) on our CGG cloud.

In the Energy Transition, we propose services and technologies dedicated to Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS), Geothermal, Environmental Sciences and Minerals and Mining. CCUS, which represents a substantial submarket, is one of the key enablers to reduce carbon footprint. Many energy companies are planning significant CCUS projects and increasingly incorporate this technology in their development. Low carbon energy, such as hydrogen, will also require long term storage and monitoring. To be successful, these new businesses require a detailed understanding of the subsurface, domain where CGG excels, through its advanced geoscience and digital science technologies and its global earth data library.

Sensing & Monitoring (SMO)

This operating segment comprises manufacturing and sales activities for land, marine and OBN geophysical equipment used for data seismic acquisition. Additionally, its unique portfolio of industry leading sensor technology allows to bring the benefits of its advanced sensor technology to the fastgrowing Monitoring and Observation market, from structural health monitoring (SHM) to monitoring solutions for energy transition (CCUS notably) and environment. The SMO

segment carries out its activities through our subsidiary Sercel.

Internal reporting and segment presentation

Before the implementation of IFRS 15, the Group applied the percentage of completion method for recognizing Earth Data prefunding revenues. Following the implementation of IFRS 15, the Group recognizes Earth Data prefunding revenues upon delivery of processed data (when performance obligation is fullfilled).

Although IFRS fairly presents the Group's statement of financial position, for internal reporting purposes CGG's management continues to apply the pre-IFRS 15 revenue recognition principles, with Earth Data prefunding revenues recorded based on percentage of completion. CGG's management believes this method aligns revenues closely with the activities and resources used to generate it and provides useful information as to the progress made on Earth Data surveys, while also allowing for useful comparison across time periods.

CGG therefore presents the Group's results of operations in two ways:

  • the "Reported" or "IFRS" figures, prepared in accordance with IFRS, with Earth Data prefunding revenues recognized upon delivery of the data (when performance obligation is fullfilled); and
  • the "Segment" figures, for purposes of internal management reporting, prepared in accordance with the Group's previous method for recognizing Earth Data prefunding revenues.

Other companies may present segment and related measures differently than we do. Segment figures are not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered as indicators of our operating performance or an alternative to other measures of performance in accordance with IFRS

Alternative performance measures

As a complement to Operating Income, EBIT may be used by management as a performance measure for segments because it captures the contribution to our results of the significant businesses that are managed through our joint ventures. We define EBIT as Operating Income plus our share of income in companies accounted for under the equity method.

We define EBITDAs as earnings before interest, tax, income from equity affiliates, depreciation, amortization net of amortization expense capitalized to Earth Data, and cost of share-based compensation. Share-based compensation includes both stock options and shares issued under our share allocation plans. EBITDAs is presented as additional information because we understand that it is a measure used by certain investors to determine our operating cash flow and historical ability to meet debt service and capital expenditure requirements.

Inter-segment transactions are made at arm's length prices. These inter-segment revenues and the related earnings are eliminated in consolidation in the tables that follow under the column "Eliminations and other".

Operating Income, EBITDAs and EBIT may include nonrecurring or restructuring items. General corporate expenses, which include Group management, financing, and legal activities, have been included in the column "Eliminations and other" in the tables that follow. The Group does not disclose financial expenses or financial revenues by segment because they are managed at the Group level.

Identifiable assets are those used in the operations of each segment. The group does not track its assets based on country of origin.

Capital employed is defined as "total assets" excluding "Cash and cash equivalents" less (i) "Current liabilities" excluding "Bank overdrafts" and "Current portion of financial debt" and (ii) noncurrent liabilities excluding "Financial debt".

Group organization

Segment presentation and discontinued operations

The financial information by segment is reported in accordance with our internal reporting system and provides internal segment information that is used by the chief operating decision maker to manage and measure performance.

To reflect the evolution of the Group into a Technology company, new segment reporting names were designed and used from the first quarter 2022 financial reporting.

The Group continues to present its financial information under two reporting segments, Data, Digital & Energy Transition (DDE) and Sensing & Monitoring (SMO) as described in Note 19 to our 2022 consolidated financial statements.

Internal reporting and segment presentation

For internal reporting purposes CGG's management continues to apply the pre-IFRS 15 revenue recognition principles, with Earth Data prefunding revenues recorded based on percentage of completion method, in accordance with the Group's previous method.

For further details on the segment figure definition, please refer to note 8 of this document

For the six months ended June 30, 2023 please refer to the table below for the reconciliation between segment and reported figures.

The Earth Data prefunding surveys amortization based on data delivery amounted to US\$65 million, compared to a segment amortization of US\$45 million. According to IFRS 15 standards, we recorded a positive adjustment of the operating revenue for US\$19 million, and a negative adjustment of US\$21 million on the amorization costs. A negative net impact of US\$2 million was booked at the net income level.

Impairment, non-recurring and restructuring items

To adjust to the volatile market environment, the Group may have to incur non-recurring or restructuring costs as well as impairment losses or write-offs due to events or changes in circumstances that reduce the fair value of an asset below its book value.

In the first semester of 2023, the implementation of restructuring measures in continuing operations were nonsignificant.

Accounting policies

This operating and financial review and prospects should be read in conjunction with our consolidated interim financial statements and the notes thereto.

Our significant accounting policies are fully described in note 1 to our 2022 consolidated annual financial statements.

Significant events

No major event occurred during the first semester 2023.

Market environment and Outlook

Overall, commercial activity was solid across all our businesses and geographic locations this quarter, with a strong rebound of our SMO business sustained by increased land and OBN seismic project especially for the NOC's.

Fundamentals for exploration remain strong with persistent energy security and reliability concerns. The priority of our clients is to bring short-cycle oil & gas to production while increasingly looking for new potential reserves, especially offshore.

This trend is translating into a continued focus in mature basin and driving demand for high-end imaging and more OBN data acquisition surveys. The backdrop is favorable to CGG and we are particularly well positioned to support our clients with our 3 main core businesses.

Commenting on Q2 Results, Sophie Zurquiyah, CGG's CEO said :

"CGG delivered good performance in Q2. Our Geoscience business is back to pre-covid levels, driven by technology differentiation and the increasing adoption of advanced acquisition technologies, such as nodes, where clients strongly prefer our leading imaging capabilities. Sensing and Monitoring confirmed its expected rebound, with high quarterly revenue. Earth Data was impacted by the timing of late sales.

Increased SMO activity in Q2 drove working capital higher, which is expected to translate into significant positive cashflow in H2.

The market remains active, with clients strengthening their offshore activity worldwide. This together with our \$510m backlog, which is at the highest level since early 2020, gives us confidence in delivering our 2023 targets"

As a percentage of operating revenues as reported, cost of operations as reported remained stable at 70% in 2023 closed to 2022 figures. Excluding IFRS 15 adjustments, segment cost of operations, as a percentage of the segment operating revenues, was 68% in 2023 from 71% in 2022 due to the favorable impact of net book value adjustement following the completion of 3 large EDA surveys in an overall more favorable foreign exchange environment (the average exchange rate was set as US\$1.08 per euro for the first semester 2023 compared to US\$1.10 per euro in 2022).

Excluding impairment loss, the amortization cost of our Earth Data library as reported corresponded to 45% of the Earth Data revenues as reported in 2023 compared to 38% in 2022. Excluding impairment loss and IFRS 15 adjustments, the segment amortization cost of our Earth Data library decreased to 35% of the Earth Data segment revenues this semester compared to 39% in 2022.

Gross profit as reported increased 25% year-on-year to US\$156 million in 2023 from US\$125 million in 2022, representing 30% of operating revenues, as a result of the factors discussed above. Segment gross profit was US\$158 million in 2023 from US\$116 million in 2022 and representing 32% of segment operating revenues compared to 30% in previous year.

Research and development costs and Marketing and selling expenses increased in 2023 by 81% and 25% respectively compared to 2022, mainly as a consequence of the perimeter change within our SMO activity with the acquisitions of Geocomp and ION software during the second half of 2022.

General and administrative expenses remained stables yearon-year.

Segment operating income from our DDE segment was a gain of US\$82 million in 2023 from US\$105 million recorded in 2022. The 22% decrease was mainly driven by Earth Data activity with some late sales delayed to early next quarter,

when 2022 first semester had recorded a high level of transfer fees.

Segment operating income from our SMO segment was a gain of US\$21 million in 2023, after a loss of US\$34 million in 2022, which reflected the very low level of activity in the first semester of 2022.

Financial income and expenses

Liquidity and capital resources

Our principal financing needs are the funding of ongoing operations and capital expenditures, investments in our Earth data library, the funding of the restructuring costs and other expenses of the "CGG 2021 Plan" as well as our debt service obligations.

With the refinancing completed on April 1, 2021, we do not have any major debt repayment scheduled before 2027, the maturity date of our new senior secured notes. We intend to fund our capital requirements through cash generated by operations and liquidity on hand.

Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal, or to pay the interest or additional amounts, if any, or to refinance our indebtedness, or to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our future performance, which, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other factors that are beyond our control

Net cash before changes in working capital 179.3 171.6
Change in working capital (67.0) 34.1
NET CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES 112.3 205.7

Net cash as reported before changes in working capital provided by operating activities in 2023 was US\$179 million compared to US\$172 million in 2022, mainly due to a solid activity of our businesses and a high level of sales in June 2023.

Changes in working capital had a negative impact on cash from operating activities of US\$67 million in 2023 from a positive US\$34 million in 2022 mainly related to the SMO business ahead of a solid second semester activity. Excluding IFRS 15 adjustments, changes in working capital had a negative impact on cash from operating activities of US\$49 million.

Net cash provided by operating activities was US\$112 million in 2023 compared to US\$206 million in 2022.

Investing activities

The following table presents the main items linked to investing activities for each of the periods stated:

Proceeds and Acquisitions 0.1 (16.7)

The net cash used in investing activities increased to US\$130 million in 2023 from US\$114 million in 2022. EDA lower survey investment over the period was offset by the industrial capex increase associated with the building fit out in UK, while first 2022 semester was positively impacted by a net inflow of US\$17 million from our headquarter building sale and lease back operation combined with the acquisition of Geocomp.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was an outflows of US\$50 million in 2023, mainly composed of lease payments As of June 30, 2023, the net book value of our Earth data library as reported was US\$459 million compared to US\$419 million as of December 31, 2022. Excluding IFRS 15 adjustments, the segment net book value of our Earth Data library was US\$364 million as of June 30, 2023, compared to US\$304 million as of December 31, 2022.

EBIT and EBITDAs (unaudited)

EBIT is defined as operating income plus our share of income in companies accounted for under the equity method. As a complement to operating income, EBIT may be used by management as a performance indicator because it captures the contribution to our results of the businesses that we manage through our joint ventures.

EBITDAs is defined as earnings before interest, tax, income from equity affiliates, depreciation, amortization net of amortization expense capitalized to Earth Data and sharebased compensation cost. Share-based compensation includes both stock options and shares issued under our share allocation plans. EBITDAs is presented as additional information because we understand that it is one measure used by certain investors to determine our operating cash flow and historical ability to meet debt service and capital expenditure requirements.

However, other companies may present these indicators differently.

Net cash flow

"Net cash flow is defined as net cash flow provided by operating activities plus "proceeds from disposals of tangible and intangible assets and activities" less (i) "total capital expenditures including acquisitions of activities" and "cash investments in Earth Data surveys", as set out in the "Investing activities" section of the consolidated statement of cash flows, (ii) "interest expenses paid", as set out in the "Financing activities" section of the consolidated statement of cash flows, (iii) "lease repayments", as set out in the "Financing activities" section of the consolidated statement of cash flows, and (iv) "payments and/or proceeds net from asset financing transactions", included in the "Financing activities" section of the consolidated statement of cash flows. We present net cash flow as additional information because we understand that it is one measure used by certain investors to determine our operating cash flow and our historical ability to meet debt service and capital expenditure requirements. Net cash flow is not a measure of financial performance under IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of performance derived in accordance with IFRS.

Currency fluctuations

As a company that derives a substantial amount of its revenue from sales internationally, we are subject to risks relating to fluctuations in currency exchange rates. Our revenues and expenses are mainly denominated in US dollars and euros, and to a significantly lesser extent, in Brazilian reais, Chinese yuan, Norwegian kroner, British pounds, Canadian dollars, and Australian dollars

As of December 31, 2022, we estimated our net annual recurring expenses in euros and in British pounds to be respectively €220 million and £60 million at the Group level and as a result, an unfavorable variation of US\$0.10 in the average yearly exchange rate between the US dollar and the euro or the British pound would reduce our net income and our shareholders' equity by approximately US\$22 million and US\$6 million respectively.

For further details on the effect of fluctuations in the exchange rate upon our results of operations, please refer to note 14 to our 2022 consolidated annual financial statements
