AusGroup Ltd: Look for confirmation of forward outlook at 2Q10 results

As guided by AusGroup Ltd, 2Q10 results are likely to be dampened by the order book
hole last year and a more competitive tender market. As we have previously noted, the
real earnings recovery for AusGroup is likely to play out in the 2010-2011 calendar years
as the resources sector unfreezes capex budgets and as large LNG projects are kick-started.

During the current reporting season, we will be looking for a confirmation of this outlook both
from AusGroup and its peers and customers.

AusGroup won a series of contracts worth over A$160m in November and December and its
order book now stands at A$500m versus A$347m in November (up 44%). The wins support
our earnings estimates but we are still eager to hear news on the A$43b Gorgon LNG project,
which AusGroup has been tendering for.

We continue to peg our valuation to 12x 12 months forward PER but roll the base EPS forward
three months. With this, our fair value estimate rises from S$0.70 to S$0.78. Maintain BUY.

Press Release

Keppel FELS delivers first rig of 2010 on time and within budget

Singapore, 19 January 2010 –
Keppel FELS Limited (Keppel FELS) has delivered ENSCO 8502,
the third of seven ENSCO 8500 Series® semisubmersible (semi) drilling rigs it has been
contracted to build exclusively for Ensco International (NYSE:ESV).

Delivered seven days ahead of schedule, ENSCO 8502 is on track to commence operations in
the U.S. Gulf of Mexico in the second quarter of 2010, under a two-year contract with Nexen
Petroleum U.S.A. Inc. with term extension options.

The early completion was a culmination of progressive productivity gains achieved by Keppel FELS
on the construction of the Series.

Construction lead time for ENSCO 8502 was reduced by 1.1 million manhours, as compared to the
first rig in the Series. This represents a 15% boost in efficiency.

Mr Dan Rabun, Chairman, President & CEO of Ensco International, said, “We are pleased that Keppel
has remained an outstanding long-term supporter of Ensco’s deepwater strategy. We commend the
shipyard and management teams for managing the project schedule and resources very well even
through challenging times, resulting in delivery of the rig early and within budget.

“With each consecutive rig, we have seen continuous improvement in the construction progress,
reaffirming our decision to build the entire seven-rig series with a single yard to realise efficiencies
and economies of scale. We are further convinced that Keppel FELS is the right choice as our trusted
shipyard partner.”

Mr Tong Chong Heong, CEO of Keppel FELS, said, “Keppel has supported and moved closely in step
with our customers as the offshore market’s needs evolved over the years.

“In particular, we take pride in delivering to our customers, not only on time and within budget, but also
quality products that are ready to be deployed for operations, smoothly and safely. We are confident that,
like her sister rigs, ENSCO 8502 will be ready to drill on location shortly after she arrives in the Gulf of Mexico.”

Keppel Offshore & Marine Group, through its global network of yards delivering on its ‘Near Market, Near
Customer’ strategy, constructed ten of Ensco’s world-class jackups, which form a substantial part of the rig
owner’s premium fleet of 42-jackups.

When the ENSCO 8500 Series® is completed, Keppel-built rigs will make up 30% of the leading driller’s
premium fleet. Construction of the next four rigs remains on schedule with expected deliveries extending from
the fourth quarter of 2010 into 2012.

Successful Alliance

As global markets open up and competition grows, midsize companies need to be increasingly
creative about how and with whom they align themselves to go to the market.

Strategic Alliances means "cooperation between groups that produces better results that can
be gained from a transaction. Because competitive markets keep improving what you can get
from transactions, an alliance must stay ahead of the market by making continuous advances."

Ezra knew above very well, and boosted the bottom line by a combined US$7.3 million profit
gain (+303% vs 1Q'09) in its share of profits in associated and joint venture companies.

Est.PE of 15x is rational for Ezra, currently Hyflux is at around PE 30.x. jmv (",)

" We raise our sum-of-the-parts target price to S$3.08 from S$2.69 as we peg a higher P/E of 15x (from 13x) for EOCL,
given an improved profile as the company penetrates the international FPSO market with a second FPSO. "

" In addition, we peg a higher P/E of 15x (from 13x) for offshore support and marine services as Ezra expands its
deepwater subsea capabilities. We expect stocks catalysts from the announcement of material earnings-accretive
acquisitions and accelerated order wins. "

Orders look likely to come back in 2010

A better 2010. After a rather quiet 2009, we believe Singapore’s offshore & marine orders could boom in 2010,
bolstered by positive industry dynamics including higher oil prices, a capex revival and easing credit markets.
Singapore rig builders and service operators should be prime beneficiaries of order awards from Brazil*, Australia**,
the Middle East and India.

International oil & gas projects in the pipeline; Singapore O&M companies to benefit:

Region: Brazil*
Overview.                     : Planned output to reach 3.3m bpd by 2013, with an increasing amount coming from pre-salt discoveries
Est. capex.                    : US$174.4bn over 2009-2013
Short term catalysts.      : 28 deep-water rigs and 10 FPSOs for pre-salt discoveries. 1st package of deep-water rigs to be announced in 1Q10
Key beneficiaries.          : Companies with deepwater and development related capabilities
Singapore O&M players.: Ezra, Keppel Corp, Sembcorp Marine, Swiber

Analysts upbeat on Ezra's growth strategy

ANALYSTS and investors are looking deep for further upside for Ezra Holdings, as they see future growth
coming from its new deepwater subsea services division.

While announcing near doubling of first-quarter net profit to US$18.4 million on Thursday, Ezra also said it had
won its first long-term time charter inspection, maintenance and repair contract worth up to US$12 million.

Ezra was able to secure the contract due to its commitment to developing its deepwater subsea services division,
said managing director Lionel Lee. The plan to provide clients fully integrated solutions for the entire chain of
support work in all water depths and throughout the lifecycle of the field will be enhanced with the upcoming
delivery of subsea-capable vessels, he added. The division is expected to be Ezra's key growth driver in the
next 10 years.

Analysts are upbeat on this strategy. 'We believe that at the prevailing oil price, offshore oil and gas exploration
and production activities will pick up as demand for energy rises,' said DMG and Partners in a research note.
'This will be highly beneficial to operators which are capable of offering subsea services,' DMG said, adding
that Ezra's rating is currently under review.

DMG was also impressed by the gains from associates that arose from Ezra's diversification into the floating,
production, storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel market. Earnings rose sharply on contributions from Ezra
unit EOC's Lewek Arunothai FPSO which began operations in October.

Meanwhile, CIMB maintained its 'outperform' rating and raised its target price to $3.08 as it expects 'stocks
catalysts from the announcement of material earnings-accretive acquisitions and accelerated order wins'.

CIMB is also bullish on Ezra's subsea prospects. 'We are expecting more subsea contracts on the back of the
delivery of incoming subsea-capable vessels such as two liftboats and a well intervention subsea construction
vessel by 1H10,' it said.

Q1 revenue, however, was lower, falling 46 per cent to US$61 million, mainly on lower year-on-year
recognition of engineering projects undertaken by marine services. But CIMB was unfazed by the revenue drop.
'We note that recognition is based on project milestones and there is no cause for concern,' CIMB said. It is also
optimistic about further gains as EOC's second FPSO comes online.

Ezra TP raise to $3.08

Hi ozone2002, this new research from CIMB rite? :)

ozone2002 ( Date: 15-Jan-2010 09:33) Posted:

1QFY10 Results - Ezra Holdings (S$2.61) - Propelling up the value chain
Maintain Outperform on Ezra; results within expectations. 1Q10 net profit of US$18.4m (+93% yoy) forms 23% of our FY10 forecast (22% of consensus), which we consider to be in line as Ezra's earnings recognition is driven by project milestones. Our earnings estimates are intact. Lower-than-expected revenue from marine and deepwater subsea services in the quarter was made up by higher-than expected EBITDA margins and higher-than-expected forex gains. We raise our sum-of-the-parts target price to S$3.08 from S$2.69 as we peg a higher P/E of 15x (from 13x) for EOCL, given an improved profile as the company penetrates the international FPSO market with a second FPSO. In addition, we peg a higher P/E of 15x (from 13x) for offshore support and marine services as Ezra expands its deepwater subsea capabilities. We expect stocks catalysts from the announcement of material earnings-accretive acquisitions and accelerated order wins.

Deutsche is maintaining a “buy” rating with a price target of $2.90.

Deutsche Bank is more bullish, saying “Ezra Holdings' prospects remain robust for the group
and its enhanced capabilities tie in well with some of the strongest growth areas,
particularly in deepwater offshore construction”.
