segments. In terms of contracts type, both recurring business and large
contracts contributed to this growth.
Backlog of HMS Group grew to Rub 43.4 billion by 35% compared with Rub 32.2
billion last year, driven by all business segments except construction. In
terms of contracts type, the growth was based on the recurring business and
large integrated contracts also.
Revenue grew to Rub 23.4 billion, up by 15%, compared with Rub 20.3 billion
for 6m 2018. Compressors and pumps contributed to this growth. EBITDA was
down by 41% yoy to Rub 1.9 billion mainly due to negative results of oil &
gas equipment segment.

decreased by 17% yoy. EBITDA from recurring business declined 6% yoy and
large projects contracted by 54% yoy.
EBITDA margin equaled 8.3%.

loss for the period equaled Rub 173 million, compared with profit for the
period of Rub 961 million for 6m 2018.
Free cash flow decreased to Rub (1.9) billion from Rub (1.5) billion for 6m
2018 because of Rub 700 million acquisition made in Feb 2019.
ROCE decreased because of lower operating profit for the last twelve months
and higher average capital employed.

required for manufacturing, almost fully attributed to this growth.
