The Group’s order intake under management accounts for 1 quarter (3 months) 2015 amounted to Rub 6.6 bn, which is 1% lower in comparison with the previous year Rub 6.7 bn only due to a quarterly volatility. In general, 1Q 2015 order intake results are attributable to a stable inflow of orders for standard equipment.
All HMS’ business segments except the oil & gas equipment demonstrated year-on-year increase. The industrial pumps business segment showed a steady growth of 4% y-o-y in 1Q 2015. The compressors business segment more than twofold increased its order intake to Rub 643 mn, by 144% y-o-y. Also the engineering business segment demonstrated the positive trend with the 69% y-o-y growth.
Decline in 3 months 2015 oil & gas equipment orders reflects the fact, that the main operating oil & gas modular equipment facility of the Group, HMS Neftemash, is executing several large-scale contracts.
