2-Minute Summary
Apollo Hospitals delivered a strong Q1 FY26 with consolidated revenue of INR 5,842 crore (+15% YoY) and PAT of INR 433 crore (+42% YoY). Healthcare Services revenue grew 11% to INR 2,935 crore, with EBITDA margins at 24.5% (+88bps YoY). Apollo HealthCo revenue rose 19% to INR 2,472 crore, driven by pharmacy distribution and narrowing digital losses (EBITDA loss of INR 73 crore vs INR 116 crore last year). The company added 700 beds in the pipeline and expects to operationalize them in FY26. Management guided for 13-14% organic hospital growth and Apollo 24/7 breakeven by Q4 FY26. Risk: New hospital ramp-up may cause a ~100bps margin dip in the near term.

We are well on track to achieve breakeven in the digital business by the end of this fiscal.
Incremental players coming in with aggressive strategies, in my mind, will expand the digital market and give a greater amount of trials.
We have a plan to move it to 25%. As we look at the losses from new hospitals, total impact over a two-year period could maximum be around INR 150 crore.
