2-Minute Summary

✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Apollo Hospitals delivered a solid Q2 FY26 with consolidated revenue of INR 6,304 crore (+13% YoY) and EBITDA of INR 941 crore (+15% YoY). Healthcare services revenue grew 9% to INR 3,169 crore, driven by a 14% increase in high-complexity CONGO specialties, offsetting a 6% decline in medical admissions due to seasonality and a 1% impact from reduced Bangladesh patients. Apollo HealthCo revenue rose 17% to INR 2,661 crore, with digital losses narrowing to INR 71 crore from INR 101 crore. Management guided for organic hospital growth to return to 13% and expects six new hospitals to commission over the next four quarters, with aggregate EBITDA losses of ~INR 150 crore in FY27. A key risk is the potential margin drag from new hospital ramp-up costs, which management aims to mitigate through a INR 120 crore cost-saving program.
