HMS GROUP PERFORMANCE The end of March in 2020 was the start of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. So the financial effect for the period was very limited due to the short period of time between the start of economic downturn and the end of 3m 2020. In the first three months of 2020, HMS Group ran its business as usual.
3 months 2021 financial Results Order intake was up to Rub 18.4 billion, by 50% yoy, compared with Rub 12.3 billion for 3m 2020. All business segments, excluding the compressors, demonstrated growth. In terms of contracts type, large contracts increased almost six-fold mainly due to a Rub 7.5 billion oil & gas equipment contract signed in 1Q 2021. Backlog was Rub 59.0 billion, up by 25% yoy, compared with Rub 47.2 billion at the end of 3m 2020, mainly due to the oil & gas equipment and compressors business segments. In terms of contracts type, both recurring business and large contracts grew, by 6% yoy and 50% yoy respectively, compared with the end of 3m 2020. Revenue was Rub 11.2 billion, up by 23% yoy, compared with Rub 9.1 billion for 3m 2020, supported by the oil & gas equipment and compressors business segments. EBITDA was Rub 1.3 billion, up by 21% yoy, implying an EBITDA margin of 11.7%. Revenue generated by large projects almost tripled (+173% yoy) compared with 3m 2020. This increase was partly offset by lower revenue from recurring business (-18% yoy). EBITDA from large contracts increased 206% yoy, and EBITDA from recurring business declined 71% yoy. Profit for the period was Rub 52 million, compared with loss for the period at Rub 153 million for 3m 2020. Free cash outflow was Rub 1.2 billion, compared with free cash inflow of Rub 2.1 billion for 3m 2020, due to working capital requirements for execution of large contracts.
Expenses and Operating profit Cost of sales was Rub 9.1 billion, up by 28% yoy, compared with Rub 7.1 billion for 3m 2020, supported by higher materials and components costs (+43% yoy). Materials and components outpaced the growth in Cost of sales due to a higher share of material-intensive large contracts under execution.
Gross profit grew to Rub 2.1 billion, by 5% yoy, compared with Rub 2.0 billion for 3m 2020. SG&A expenses[5] declined by 11% yoy due to decrease in distribution & transportation expenses. Distribution & transportation expenses were down 34% yoy, mainly due to lower transportation costs and expenses on insurance and advertising. As a share of revenue, they declined to 2.9%, compared with 5.4% for 3m 2020. General & administrative expenses stood at Rub 1.2 billion, down by 1% yoy. As a share of revenue, these expenses were down to 10.7%, compared with 13.3% for 3m 2020. All in all, this led to an operating profit of Rub 566 million, up by 114% yoy, compared with Rub 265 million during 3m 2020.
Finance costs were Rub 459 million, down by 4% yoy, compared with Rub 481 million for 3m 2020. The main reason was lower interest expenses (-10% yoy) due to a lower level of average total debt within the reporting period compiled with reduced interest rates, compared with 3m 2020. Average interest rate was reduced to 7.99% p.a., compared with 8.23% p.a. last year.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS PERFORMANCE Industrial pumps[i] Order intake was Rub 4.7 billion, up by 5% yoy, compared with Rub 4.5 billion for 3m 2020.
