Similar to Adani Ports' recent NQXT acquisition, Evos is also backed by a similar take-or-pay arrangement with most of the customers. While NQXT was acquired at ~17x EV/EBITDA, the current acquisition at ~11.7x EV/EBITDA appears relatively attractive, offering scope for value creation as the assets scale up.

With strong cash flows, a healthy cash balance of Rs 12,500 crore, and a net debt-to EBITDA ratio of 1.8 times pre-acquisition, Motilal Oswa believes the acquisition strengthens Adani Ports' global footprint, adds a high-margin and cash-generative business, and offers significant scope for value creation through operational efficiencies and better asset utilisation.
