✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Apollo Hospitals delivered a strong Q3 FY25 with consolidated revenue of INR 5,527 crore (+14% YoY) and EBITDA of INR 762 crore (+24% YoY). PAT surged 52% YoY to INR 372 crore, driven by mid-teens growth across all segments and margin expansion in healthcare services (24.1% EBITDA margin). The hospital business saw 13% revenue growth, with high-margin CONGO specialties (cardiac, oncology, neuro, gastro, ortho) growing at 10.35% volume, offsetting a 1.5% revenue drag from Bangladesh patient decline. Apollo HealthCo (pharmacy & digital) grew 15% YoY, with digital losses narrowing. Management guided for calibrated bed additions (1,737 beds over FY26-27) with minimal margin impact (~100 bps), and expects Apollo 24/7 to break even by Q2/Q3 FY26. Key risk: slower-than-expected recovery in Bangladesh patient inflows and competitive pressure in digital pharmacy.
