FY18 performance for Adani Port (APSEZ) reflect (1) strong growth in volumes across segments backed by expansion of capacity; (2) healthy contribution from subsidiary ports; (3) healthy consolidated EBITDA margin, (4) higher nonrecurring income and rationalization of interest cost that boosted PAT.
