Apollo Hospitals delivered a strong Q3 FY26 with consolidated revenue of INR 6,477 crore (+17% YoY) and PAT of INR 502 crore (+35% YoY), driven by double-digit growth across all verticals. Healthcare services revenue grew 14% to INR 3,183 crore, supported by 5% volume growth, 5% pricing, and 4% case mix improvement. Apollo Healthco revenue rose 20% to INR 2,827 crore, with digital losses narrowing to INR 67 crore. AHLL EBITDA grew 39% to INR 48 crore. Management guided for INR 150 crore in new hospital startup costs next year, partially offset by 100 bps margin expansion in existing hospitals. The digital business cash EBITDA breakeven is delayed by one quarter to Q1 FY27 due to insurance revenue recognition changes. Risk: new bed ramp-up may pressure near-term margins if occupancy lags.
