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.
अपोलो हॉस्पिटल्स ने तीसरी तिमाही में अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया। कुल कमाई 6,477 करोड़ रुपये रही, जो पिछले साल से 17% ज्यादा है। मुनाफा 502 करोड़ रुपये रहा, जो 35% बढ़ा। सभी कारोबारों में दोहरे अंकों की बढ़त हुई। अस्पताल सेवाओं की कमाई 14% बढ़कर 3,183 करोड़ रुपये हुई। इसमें मरीजों की संख्या, कीमतें और बेहतर इलाज का मिश्रण शामिल है। अपोलो हेल्थको की कमाई 20% बढ़कर 2,827 करोड़ रुपये हुई। डिजिटल कारोबार का घाटा घटकर 67 करोड़ रुपये रह गया। अगले साल नए अस्पतालों पर 150 करोड़ रुपये खर्च होंगे, लेकिन पुराने अस्पतालों का मुनाफा बढ़ेगा। डिजिटल कारोबार में ब्रेकईवन एक तिमाही देर से होगा। जोखिम: नए बिस्तरों की संख्या बढ़ने से अगर मरीज कम आए तो मुनाफा दबाव में आ सकता है।
