Ezra's loss widens to $484m in Q4 over impairment losses

 

 

Offshore contractor Ezra Holdings has plunged deeper into the red, posting a net loss of US$339.6 million (S$484 million) in the fourth quarter, far greater than the US$7.8 million net loss recorded in the same period a year earlier.

 

The losses come on the back of about US$270 million in impairment losses. In October, Ezra had warned that it was reassessing the value of its assets and would take impairments or write them down as appropriate. The warning came in a presentation, where it asked note holders for leniency on $150 million notes maturing in 2018.

 

Revenue in the three months to Aug 31 fell 8 per cent to US$136 million, owing to fewer service requests from customers and lower project activity in the energy services division, as well as lower engineering design work in the marine services division.

False hopes

Equity confirmed wiped out but I'm more concerned whether the company will continue on for the sake of those working there.

 

Properly recapitalised, I think it can live on.

My good friend went in at 6c. Said nothing to lose since so low. Just gamble.

 

I warned of the likelihood of total loss.

 

But good income earner, money can earn again, just a pity did not capitalise on advantage.

Properly recapitalized, everything can live on.

Problem for many companies in the same sector today is that they cant find the capital.

This is a classic case of an outright gambling:

>95% chance of losing 50% money, but 5% chance of doubling up

 

It is better to have this instead:

>90% chance of winning 30% money, but 10% chance of losing 10%

 

Ezra is now quoted at 2.1c.   Even at this price, I shudder to go in (i.e. there is no difference to me whether you go in at 6c or even 1c).  Unless there is a white knight to the rescue, it looks like a hopeful case to me.  The inevitable is a matter of time.

 

 

You have better odds with IHC, at 10.6c.  At the end of the day, a company's fundamental counts for everything.

Worth the risk.

 

Photocopy is already 10c

 

so 6c for the paper is worth it.  [thumbsup]
