2-Minute Summary
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.

We are quite confident that we will get back into 13% growth. Bangladesh, at least 60%, has started coming back in October, and we believe that we will mitigate the impact of losing one territory.
Our internal target is to get all of them to break even in 12 months.
