Ezion’s FY15 earnings crash 83.6% to $51.7m

Absence of contributions from Australia projects weakened revenue.

Ezion closed FY15 with disappointing results as net profits plummeted 83.6% YoY to US$36.8m, or about $51.7m. The company said its revenue received zero contributions from its Queensland projects.

According to a report by OCBC, Ezion’s Q4 is marked with revenue dropping 19% YoY to US$84.8m, with net loss for the quarter coming in at US$63.5m. This pullback is a result of US$81.1m worth of impairment losses on plant and equipment, as well as provision of trade receivables.

Meanwhile, Ezion has proposed a bonus issue of up to 323.9m free warrants with each warrant carrying the right to subscribe for one new share within four years from issuance date at an exercise price of $0.50. The warrants will be allotted to shareholders on the basis of one warrant for every five existing shares as at book closure date.

Assuming all warrants are exercised, Ezion stands to rake in gross proceeds of about $161.97m.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
