SEPURA PLC

INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

Sepura plc ("the Company", together with its subsidiary undertakings "the Group"), a leading global provider of mission-critical communications systems, today issues the following Interim Management Statement. This statement, required by the UK Listing Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules, refers to the Group's trading results for the period from 29 September 2012 to 27 January 2013.

Trading update

The positive momentum reported in the Interim Results for the period ended 28 September 2012 has continued into the second half of the current financial year. Demand for the Group's products remains resilient and cumulative revenues for the first nine months of the financial year were in line with the Board's expectations.

The Group has secured business across a range of market sectors in both core and emerging markets, including significant orders from Russian, German and Dutch public safety users, together with orders for a total of 2,500 ATEX radios, primarily for oil and gas customers in the Middle East.

3T integration

The integration of 3T Communications AG continues to progress in accordance with the Group's plans with further combined contract wins in Europe and the Middle East, and the Group has already repaid a portion of  the borrowings drawn down to fund the acquisition of 3T earlier in the year.

Outlook

Notwithstanding that trading remains seasonally weighted to the second half of the year, the Group is seeing continued robust demand in the current quarter which gives the Group a solid platform from which to achieve the market's expectations for the full year.

The Company expects to issue its Preliminary Results Announcement for the period ended 29 March 2013 on 4 June 2013.
