Ezion’s net profit slips 62.2% to US$15.5m in Q1

Due to fewer projects, higher costs.

Ezion Holdings reported that its net profit for the first quarter was more than halved to US$15.5 million, while its earnings slipped 8.9% to US$82.1 million.

The drop in revenue was mainly on back of the absence of contributions from projects in Queensland, Australis, which did not go into additional trains as orginally planned.

The group's bottomline was also impacted by higher cost of sales and servicing, which rose 26.3% to US$12.8 million due to the deployment of additional service rigs.

Ezion was also impacted by the strengthening of the Singapore dollar against the greenback, which resulted in foreign exchange losses.

“The operating environment is expected to remain difficult in view of the depressed state of the offshore oil and
gas and marine sector. The Management expects that the Group’s performance for the next six months will continue to be affected by this,” Ezion said in its earnings statement.

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.
