“We hope that Apsez’s financial profile remains intact after the acquisition, with gross leverage forecast about three times since the financial year that ends in March 2026 (FY26) to FY29 in the case of Fitch rating. The acquisition of the participation of the Ebitdda of Centse currently.
Apsez had announced on April 17 that NQXT will acquire issuing new capital shares to the shareholders of the Australian coal terminal, which are the same promoter group as for Apsez.
It is unlikely that the acquisition has an impact on NQXT operations since Apsez already operates the terminal. “The annual NQXT yield of 35 million tons is completely related to coal and includes 55 percent metallurgical coal and 45 percent thermal coal. However, we hope that coal participation will be reduced in the medium and long term given the fastest growth of the other Apsez load segments, mainly containers,” he added.
NQXT requires minimum capex in the medium term, with the use of current capacity to 70 percent. The terminal benefits of medium -term contracts or payment and a long life of terminal lease of 85 years, which will improve the stability of Apsez’s cash flows, thought that the terminal’s contribution will probably continue to be modest, Fitch said.
NQXT also has a risk of minimum refinancing, without debt expiration until 2030. In addition, the NQXT debt structure also includes characteristics such as restrictions on additional indebtedness and cash outputs, he added.
