Vienna/Moscow, November 26th, 2015

An ongoing plus in the service job count during the first nine months of the
current financial year mitigated the effects of the considerable devaluation of
the Russian rouble on C.A.T. oil Group's nine months results, denominated in
euros. Facilitated by the expansion of capacities, which was completed in May,
the service job count in the Well Services segment rose by 10.9% yoy to 3,705,
while the Drilling, Sidetracking and Integrated Project Management segment
recorded a 16.5% increase to 226 jobs. All in all, the oilfield and gasfield
service provider operating in Russia recorded total sales revenues of EUR 254.6
million (Q1-Q3 2014: EUR 323.9 million), a decline of 21.4%, whereas in the same
period the rouble lost 38.1% against the euro. C.A.T. oil AG Group revenue
calculated in rouble raised yoy by 8.6%.

The Group's cost of sales decreased less than sales revenues in the nine months.
As at 30 September, they amounted to EUR 204.9 million, which is 18.3% lower
than in the first nine months of 2014 (Q1-Q3 2014: EUR 250.8 million). The
reason for this development was the increase in employees at 3,311. C.A.T. oil's
headcount increased by 13,4% yoy. Given the challenging environment in the
oilfield industry, the management does not plan to increase the number of
employees.

EBITDA amounted to EUR 67.4 million for Q1-Q3 2015 (Q1-Q3 2014: EUR 93.8
million); the EBITDA margin was 26.5%, as compared to 28.9% in the previous
year. EBIT contracted by 41.7% to EUR 34.1 million in the reporting period, and
the EBIT margin dropped from 18.0% to 13.4% in the first nine months of the year
2015.

Cash flow and equity held on high level
Cash flow from operating activities tapered by 5.0% to EUR 48.2 million for
Q1-Q3 2015 (Q1-Q3 2014: 50.7 million). The negative effect of the decrease in
profit was partly compensated by better collection of receivables and more
effective use of credit by the contractors. The Group was able to keep the cash
position at the level of the end of September 2014. The equity ratio raised from
45.2% as at December 31 2014 to 48.6% as at September 30 2015.

Management confirms outlook for the rest of the year
The Management of C.A.T. oil AG reiterates to the outlook for the year 2015,
still expecting revenues to lie between EUR 310.0 million and EUR 320.0 million,
with an EBITDA of between EUR 75.0 million and EUR 85.0 million (based on a
RUB/EUR exchange rate of 75/1).
