Ezra Holdings eyes US$5b subsea orders

Its subsea order backlog hit over US$1.1b.

According to Phillip Securities Research, currently Ezra is bidding for c.US$5bn in subsea orders. Phillip Securities Research estimates every US$100mn increase in new subsea order win will add S$0.04-0.05 per share. 

Here's more:

Our new subsea order estimates for FY13/14E are US$1.0bn/US$1.4bn. Sustained margin expansion of its Subsea division is also a key area to focus on.

YTD, Ezra has received c.US$832mn of new orders, and subsea order backlog of more than US$1.1bn (as at mid-April 2013). With its current fleet of 9 subsea vessels, coupled with another 2 vessels (namely DP dual reeled-lay and Lewek Constellation) in the pipeline, we believe Ezra is wellpositioned to benefit from the growing demand in the subsea market.

With global subsea hardware capex estimated to double to US$124bn over the next 5 years compared to the prior 5-year period (according to industry consultant Douglas-Westwood), we believe Ezra is well-positioned to benefit from the upbeat subsea market.

This is especially after the AMC acquisition in 2011, which (i) enhanced its global subsea installation / construction capabilities, (ii) expanded its presence to high growth regions (North Sea, GoM, Brazil and Africa), and (iii) broadened its existing client base. We estimate Subsea division will account for c.64% of Ezra’s revenues by FY14E.
