Backlog extended its record high and reached Rub 68.2 billion, up by 65%
yoy, compared with Rub 41.4 billion last year. The compressors business

both recurring business and large contracts grew, compared with 9 months
2019.

billion for 9 months 2019, mainly due to a 34 percent decrease of the

9 months 2019.

Free cash inflow was Rub 884 million, compared with Rub 2.6 billion
outflow for 9 months 2019, despite lower revenue, compared with 9 months
2019, due to a cost-optimization program.
