SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE & FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
FY2020 FORECASTS
Based on 3 months 2020 results and current pipeline of contracts, HMS expects revenue to be in the range of Rub 50-55 billion, and EBITDA - around Rub 5.5 billion.
LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (LTIP)
In May and June 2020, HMS' managers acquired 344,667 depositary receipts of the company, which is equal to 1.47% of share capital, following the grant of awards under HMS' LTIP for the 2017 award year.
LARGE CONTRACTS
After the reporting date, HMS announced the signature of a Rub 1.4 billion oil & gas equipment contract, to deliver skids, vessels and a refrigerant compressor at the client's facility.
Also, in May 2020, HMS signed a Rub 5.7 billion framework contract to conduct design and exploration works at an oil & gas field, located in Russia.
DIVIDENDS
On June 2, 2020, the Board of Directors recommended the payment of the final dividends in respect of FY2019 in the amount of Rub 3.41 per one ordinary share (i.e. Rub 17.05 per one depositary receipt), subject to the approval of the company's shareholders at the Annual General meeting to be held on June 29, 2020.
Subject to such approval, the dividends may be paid on June 30, 2020, to shareholders on HMS' register at close of business (UK time) on June 19, 2020.
COVID-19 and fall in oil prices
Starting from early 2020, a new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has begun rapidly spreading all over the world resulting in announcement of the pandemic status by the World Health Organization in March 2020. Responses put in place by many countries to contain the spread of COVID-19 are resulting in significant operational disruption for many companies and have significant impact on global financial markets. As the situation is rapidly evolving it may have a significant effect on business of many companies across a wide range of sectors, including, but not limited to such impacts as disruption of business operations as a result of interruption of production or closure of facilities, supply chain disruptions, quarantines of personnel, reduced demand and difficulties in raising financing. In addition, the Group may face the increasingly broad effects of COVID-19 as a result of its negative impact on the global economy and major financial markets. The significance of the effect of COVID-19 on the Group's business largely depends on the duration and the incidence of the pandemic effects on the world and Russian economy.
In addition to that, in March-April 2020, oil prices dropped significantly, which resulted in immediate weakening of Russian Rouble against major currencies.
