OCBC Ezion Holdings: Strengthening relationships in Indonesia Ezion Holdings has obtained a 49% stake in PT Pelita Bara Samudera (PBS), an Indonesian shipping company that was previously wholly-owned by Quvat Group, an Indonesianfocused PE firm. The JV has taken delivery of an oil product tanker which is on long-term charter with Pertamina. We understand from Ezion’s management that that the JV only has one vessel now and there are plans to grow the fleet; we also note that Ezion’s relationship with Pertamina would be strengthened from this move, which may present more opportunities for the group in future. However, PBS only has a tanker currently and Ezion’s share of the estimated profit from this is not significant compared to Ezion’s current yearly net profit. As mentioned in our earlier report, 3Q16 is also likely to be a lacklustre one for the group. Maintain HOLD with S$0.30 fair value estimate. |
