Trading Update

Sepura plc ("the Company"), a leading global provider of TETRA digital communications solutions, today issues the following trading update for the six months ended 28 September 2012.

Highlights

·; Strong first half trading performance with a number of deliveries ahead of schedule

·; First TETRA terminals contract in North America

·; Combined wins for Sepura / 3T in Malaysia and Germany

·; Trading in line with full year expectations

Trading update

Trading in the first half of the financial year has benefited from the early delivery of several orders originally scheduled for Q3. The Company is performing in line with market expectations for the full year.

The Company is also pleased to announce that Sepura has been awarded the first significant TETRA terminals contract in North America. Canadian utility BC Hydro has taken delivery of a substantial initial order following the successful completion of the first TETRA pilot project in North America. The recent positive ruling by the Federal Communications Commission in the US gives further confidence in the potential for TETRA in North America. Sepura is well placed to capitalise on the development of this important longer-term market.

Trading at 3T is in line with management expectations. Significant recent contract wins include CERN and RWE, whilst the benefits of the combined larger group offering has been evidenced by successful tenders for contracts to supply TETRA infrastructure and terminals to four Malaysian airports and Audi's headquarters and largest production plant in Ingolstad, Germany.

Outlook

CEO Gordon Watling commented: "We have been encouraged by a solid start to the year, securing important contracts from a range of public-safety and commercial customers around the world. We have a strong order book for delivery in the second half of the year, combined with a robust pipeline of opportunities.

"Our market-leading ATEX product is continuing to gain traction, while the inclusion of 3T's infrastructure to our TETRA portfolio has given us a demonstrable edge that has already secured several joint contracts. These successes, combined with the first TETRA terminals contract in North America, give us confidence that we will be able to build on our momentum to date."

The Company expects to report its Interim results for the six months ended 28 September 2012 on 22 November 2012.
