Ezra suffered US$52m core net loss

Poor results disappoint analysts.

According to OSK DMG, Ezra reported a core net loss of USD52m, although a USD59m one-off gain from Ezion shares sale boosted its headline net profit to USD7.2m.

The group’s continued inability to deliver earnings, weak cash generation and industry-wide project delays could add further strain on its balance sheet.

Here's more from OSK DMG:

USD52m core net loss below expectations. Excluding a USD59m gain from one-off items, 3QFY13 core net loss of USD52m was below our and consensus expectations.

3QFY13 revenue rose 19% y-o-y and 28% q-o-q to USD317m on higher subsea and marine revenue, but blended gross profit margin was disappointing at 0.7% (3QFY12: 16.7%).

Significant oneoff items were: i) a USD67.4m gain from Ezion shares sale, ii) a USD4.5m gain from derivative financial instruments, iii) a USD7.2m loss from fixed assets sale, and iv) a USD5.2m net forex loss.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
