“The excellent financial performance of the Company in 2025 included year over year increases in both traditional and transaction-based sales, leading to $51.1 million of total revenue,” stated Neal Coleman, Pulse’s President and CEO. “Seventy-five percent of shareholder free cashflow was returned to shareholders as dividends during the year, and today, based on these strong results the Board of Directors declared a special dividend of $0.10 per share in addition to the regular dividend,” Coleman continued. “Pulse’s seismic data library assets are a valuable risk mitigation tool to the energy industry. The Company is positioned with a strong balance sheet and low-cost structure which includes a regular quarterly dividend, and although annual sales levels fluctuate in this business, significant returns of capital continue to occur in years of higher revenue. Pulse has declared $1.20 per share in dividends since resuming regular dividends in late 2021,” concluded Coleman.
