CGG (ISIN: FR0013081864), a global technology and high-performance computing (HPC) leader, announced today its third quarter 2023 non-audited results.

Commenting on these results, Sophie Zurquiyah, CGG CEO, said:

“Our third-quarter results are in line with our expectations for year-on-year growth and demonstrate the strengthening operational and cash performance across all businesses. As our clients increase their focus around adding new reserves, demand for our high-end technology, data and services drove strong performance for our core activities.

Our Beyond the Core businesses are supported by strong momentum in the Digital, Energy Transition, and Infrastructure Monitoring markets, notably in HPC. To strengthen our technology differentiation and support our growth ambitions, we opened a new UK HPC Hub which will extend our global capacity to ~500 petaFLOPS, keeping CGG’s position as the #1 industrial HPC in the world. We are uniquely addressing the needs of our new clients’ high-end scientific and AI applications, as evidenced by another new contract signed this quarter..”
