APR Energy plc (LSE:APR), a global leader in temporary power solutions, today issues a trading update for the first half of fiscal year 2012. Interim Results for the six months will be announced on 30 August 2012.

TRADING

Group revenues totalled $155 million for the six month period ending 30 June 2012, up 162% over the prior year on a pro-forma basis. As previously announced during that period the Company achieved new contract wins of 344MW with 356MW of contract extensions.

As at 30 June 2012, total fleet capacity was 1052 MW (December 2011: 900 MW) with order backlog of over 9,000 MW-Months - an increase of 39% from the end of Q1 2012 and an increase of 41% from the end of 2011.

APR Energy has continued to make progress in all areas during 2012. During the first half adjusted EBITDA margins have been strong and in line with historical levels.

FINANCIAL POSITION

The Company maintains a strong balance sheet with gross debt of $104m and cash on the balance sheet of $34m resulting in net debt as of 30 June 2012 of $70m.

OPERATIONS

The successful execution of the Hub strategy during 2012 is an important foundation for the further development of the Company. The opening of the Dubai hub in Q1 has been instrumental in facilitating important contract wins of over 200MW in a strategically important region. We plan to open our third hub in Malaysia during the third quarter.

The accelerated installation and operation of the 120MW power facility in Cyprus in June is another notable success for the Company. Using our latest enhancements in plant design, deployment and logistics, we were able to have the plant operational within 20 days of equipment arrival - ahead of the contracted schedule.

OUTLOOK

We continue to see significant structural demand for power solutions especially in Africa, Latin America, Middle East and South East Asia. The commercial pipeline remains robust with significant opportunities in new contract wins and existing contract extensions. As such, the Company expects to deliver on these contract opportunities in the second half of 2012, while delivering improved operating efficiencies. APR Energy remains confident in the robust medium and long-term trends of structural growth within the temporary power market.
