Ezra hunts for funds after massive profit crash

It wants to deleverage.

Ezra is on the lookout for funds after its sharp profit crash in the fourth quarter.

According to a report by OCBC, Ezra is seeking to deleverage as its net gearing now stands at 1.15x. The group is also focused on free cash flow generation as it has now reached the end of its subsea capex cycle.

“We also expect more asset sales, especially of non-core assets. According to Reuters, the group is also exploring fundraising options to refinance debt, and this includes equity, equity-linked solutions,” stated OCBC.

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.
