Ezra Holdings Ltd
Previous: Not Rated
A quarter of steady earnings but headwinds on subsea
outlook, gearing remain; reiterate Neutral rating
Price: S$0.83
EZRA.SI, EZRA SP
Following a period of restriction, we are moving from a Not Rated designation to
a Neutral rating and an August 2015 price target of S$0.75 (Neutral rating and
August 2014 S$0.90 price target prior to restriction).
 4Q14 and FY14 review; some improvement, but still early days: Earlier this
morning Ezra reported its 4Q14 and FY14 earnings, coming in at US$11
million and US$45.3 million, respectively, which was up 10% for the quarter
but down 16% for the year. On a recurring basis, FY14 earnings came in at
US$38 million. Overall, while this was a decent quarter with double-digit
recurring earnings profit at US$18 million (its highest level since 3Q12), we
continue to view the consensus estimate as too high (US$68 million) and cut
our FY15E earnings by 32% to US$49 million. We extend our PT of S$0.75 to
Aug-15 and reiterate our Neutral recommendation.
 Key takeaways from FY14 analyst briefing: (1) Guidance of ~US$150
million in capex annually as the bulk of capex is over as Constellation is in the
final stages of completion. (2) OSV G.P margins guidance into next year at
high-20% levels as FY14 was impacted by unplanned dockings while FY13’s
high “headline” OSV margins is due to sale and leaseback gains of US$29
million while subsea currently at 10% GP margins with 4Q14 subsea seeing
higher margins at 14-15%. (3) The company aims to add over the next few years
(a) 8-10 OSVs and, (b) 4 x accom vessels. (4) The company is targeting
improved operating cash flows and hopes to bring down its gearing to 0.7-0.8x
from 1.1x over the next two years. (5) The company is not seeing any weakness
in day rates but is seeing some impact on shallow-water AHTs. (6) Targeting
US$1 billion of orders in FY15E. (7) Constellation vessel is fully utilized until
early 2016 (the next job starting by April 2016) and, given that it is still an
uncompleted vessel, no depreciation is on the P&L yet. (8) High 80%+ OSV
utilization seen with >90% for AHTS while smaller PSVs and AHTs were lower
at 60-70%. (9) Subsea focus will be more on Africa and the US Gulf market.

Valuation and price target basis
Our Aug-15 price target of S$0.75 is based on a P/E multiple of
12.0x, compared to subsea peers such as Technip, Saipem which
trade at an average P/E of 10.2x. We have ascribed a 20%
premium to Ezra to reflect its early stage positioning in the subsea
sector and longer-term growth potential alongside with it being
listed in Singapore.

EMAS’ 4Q14 results
EMAS posted a 10% increase in revenue y/y mainly due to higher revenue contribution from Lewek Chancellor and
Lewek Conqueror due to the higher rate secured in new charters. The gross profit margin declined from 55% in 4Q13 to
34% in 4Q14.
Triyards’ 4Q14 results
Triyards posted 4Q14 net income of US$5.3 million vs US$10.3 million in 3Q14. Revenue declined by 36% y/y to US$5.3
million due to lower revenue recognized from two SEUs of BH450 series. However, the gross profit margin came in higher
at 27% this quarter vs 19% in 4Q13

Investment Thesis, Valuation and Risks
Ezra Holdings Ltd (Neutral; Price Target: S$0.75)
Investment Thesis
Ezra remains one of our least preferred offshore stocks in Singapore given (a)
continued earnings disappointments over the last 2-3 years, (b) poor track record of
its subsea earnings, (c) high gearing, and (d) high capex needs with negative free
cash flow profile.
Valuation
Our Aug-15 price target of S$0.75 is based on a P/E multiple of 12x compared to the
subsea peers like Technip, Saipem which trade at an average P/E of 10.2x. We have
ascribed a 20% premium to Ezra to reflect its early stage positioning in the subsea
sector and longer-term growth potential alongside with it being listed in Singapore.
Risks to Rating and Price Target
Key downside risks to our price target include 1) worse-than-expected margins from
subsea division; and 2) a deceleration of E&P activities. Upside risks include: (1)
Significant improvement in subsea profitability. 2) Better-than-expected OPM for its
OSV business. (3) Significant improvement in FCF reducing risk of equity raising in
the medium term.

The chart(s) show J.P. Morgan's continuing coverage of the stocks; the current analysts may or may not have covered it over the entire
period.
J.P. Morgan ratings or designations: OW = Overweight, N= Neutral, UW = Underweight, NR = Not Rated
Explanation of Equity Research Ratings, Designations and Analyst(s) Coverage Universe:
J.P. Morgan uses the following rating system: Overweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will outperform the
average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Neutral [Over the next six to twelve
months, we expect this stock will perform in line with the average total return of the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s)
coverage universe.] Underweight [Over the next six to twelve months, we expect this stock will underperform the average total return of
the stocks in the analyst’s (or the analyst’s team’s) coverage universe.] Not Rated (NR): J.P. Morgan has removed the rating and, if
applicable, the price target, for this stock because of either a lack of a sufficient fundamental basis or for legal, regulatory or policy
reasons. The previous rating and, if applicable, the price target, no longer should be relied upon. An NR designation is not a
recommendation or a rating. In our Asia (ex-Australia) and U.K. small- and mid-cap equity research, each stock’s expected total return is
compared to the expected total return of a benchmark country market index, not to those analysts’ coverage universe. If it does not appear
in the Important Disclosures section of this report, the certifying analyst’s coverage universe can be found on J.P. Morgan’s research
website, www.jpmorganmarkets.com.
