Analyst are largely positive with the latest JV deal (the 2nd this year) with its expected ROE of 35% meaning that Ezion should recoup its capital by the end of the charter agreement.

FY12 (ended 31Dec12) full-year results just out.....
http://info.sgx.com/webcoranncatth.nsf/V...8003E51D4/$file/Ezion_FY2012_Results_Announcement.pdf?openelement

My simple view and observations: This business as at 31Dec12 carries a huge USD925.3m total balance in Non-current assets - including USD793.7 in Plant and equipment (net of depreciation for the year of only USD16.6m!!) and USD122.5m in investment in Joint ventures - which are supported by USD482.5m in Total external borrowings and USD52.8m in Other payables. In FY12, this huge Non-current assets base generated a Revenue of USD158.7m and an aftertax operating FCF (before accounting for gain from asset disposal and capex) of USD82.1m - which itself is not much higher than the reported NP of USD78.8m!

IMHO, this business is designed to appeal to investors who like to look at quick business growth and big/growing accounting profits, as opposed to 'cash' profits which I am more interesed in.

Ezion has declared a small Final dividend of only $0.001/share (vs. a reported fully diluted EPS of USD0.0912). Of course, naturally the banks lending to Ezion would require that FCF generated from the Non-current assets and business to be first applied to pay down their loans.

[specuvestor]

Agree Ezion and Ezra ROIC looks very capital intensive, and unconvincing on a FCF basis. But Ezra is the one with pattern more than badminton.

[mulyc]

Ezra is like that schoolboy who has tried every single trick in the book to get your lunch money,

Ezion is that schoolboy mugging away in the corner trying to digest everything in the textbook not knowing what is going to come out for exam. Everything also just whack. Then you have YHM who is Ezion's little sister helping to carry his textbooks that drop on the floor.

Ezion Holdings is taking a strategic stake in Catalist-listed JK Tech Holdings.

The mainboard-listed has agreed to subscribe for 42 million new JK Tech shares at nine cents apiece or $3.78 million.

The offshore marine group also has an option to acquire an additional 260 million shares at nine cents apiece.

Giving its rationale for the investment, Ezion said it had come across opportunities in the exploration, exploitation and production of oil and gas in the course of its business.
