Ezion Holdings reported a 60.0% YoY rise in revenue to US$83.7m and a 97.3% increase in PATMI to US$40.5m in 4Q13. For FY13, revenue rose 77.7% to US$281.9m, forming 95.4% of our FY13 forecast, while PATMI surged by 103.4% to US$160.4m. If we exclude Ezion’s gain on disposal items, we estimate that core PATMI jumped by 115.0% to US$140.7m. This met our expectations, coming in 2.1% above our projection. A final dividend of 0.1 S cent/share was declared, similar to the same period last year. We will provide more details after the analyst briefing. For now, we maintain our BUY rating but place our S$2.57 fair value estimate under review.
