HMS GROUP Q1 2013 ORDER INTAKE

Moscow, Russia – HMS Group (LSE: HMSG), the leading pump and compressor manufacturer as well as provider of flow control solutions and related services to the oil and gas, nuclear and thermal power generation and water utilities sectors in Russia and the CIS, today issues the following statement regarding orders received during Q1 2013.

Please note, starting from Q1 2013 we will provide the data split under management accounts, which corresponds with the Note “Segment Information” under IFRS accounting, compared to a split by a type of products or services we used to provide in 2012. All 2012 numbers will be adjusted accordingly.

HIGHLIGHTS:

In Q1 2013, order intake under management accounts amounted to Rub 9.2 bn (USD 290 mn1), up 17% YoY, versus Rub 7.8 bn (USD 248 mn) in Q1 2012 In the industrial pumps business segment order intake was flattish (-1% YoY) and amounted to Rub 3.3 bn. Strong inflow of orders for pumps for oil upstream, midstream and downstream applications as well as for pumps for nuclear power plants were offset by weaker orders for pumps for water utilities and thermal power generation. In the oil and gas equipment business segment order inflow contracted by 33% due to lack of the large-scale infrastructure contracts signed in the reporting period. In the EPC business segment order intake grew by 54% primarily driven by contracts for project and design services in the oil and gas sector In the compressor business segment, established in Q3 2012, order flow amounted to Rub 1,265 mn
