The Geoscience segment led growth at 10%, while Earth Data contributed a 6% increase, demonstrating the company's ability to capitalize on demand across its service offerings. Net income under IFRS standards climbed 40% year-over-year to $71 million, underscoring improved profitability despite a competitive market environment.

The company's balance sheet benefited from disciplined capital management, with net cash generation of $107 million exceeding prior guidance and net debt declining to $753 million.
