Information on HMS Group Plc GDRs:

From the beginning of 2013, equity investors started to leave emerging markets, preferring to invest in developed markets despite their ongoing problems with debt and uncertainties with quantative easing programmes. As a result, most developed equity markets demonstrated a noticeable growth by the end of 2013.

Being a developing country, Russia felt pressure from this global trend. The dynamics of funds investing in Russia was mostly negative for the whole year, which contributed to the RTS index decreasing by 5.5% in 2013.

HMS’s GDR price performance in 2013 can be divided into two periods. From January to the beginning of June, the GDRs were traded within the range of USD 4.22-3.50. Following the release of HMS’s financial results for the Q1 coupled with a reduction in expected earnings for the full year due to the anticipated delay in large tenders, HMS’s GDR price started to decrease until it reached its low for the year of USD 2.10. During the second half of the year, HMS shares were traded at the average price of USD 2.50.
