Ezra Holdings Limited, a leading contractor and provider of integrated offshore solutions to the oil and gas industry, today announced that the Group’s Subsea Services division, EMAS AMC, has won multiple new awards from various energy companies valued at over US$70 million.

“I am delighted to see that our customers are leveraging our subsea expertise and placing their trust in our solutions and services. With this slate of multiple contracts that span across the US Gulf of Mexico and Asia Pacific regions, EMAS AMC is continuing its winning momentum and reaffirming our strategy on growing our subsea business,” said Mr Lionel Lee, Ezra’s Group CEO and Managing Director.

The Group also reported today revenue growth of 18% to US$1.5 billion for the full year ended 31 August 2014 (“FY14”), at the back of five recurring quarters of operational profitability contributed by EMAS AMC, setting another new record from the US$1.3 billion achieved in the previous corresponding period (“FY13”).
