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.
