✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Dr. Agarwal's Health Care delivered a strong Q3 FY26 with revenue from operations growing 23% YoY to ₹530 crore, driven by volume and value growth. EBITDA grew 21.3% YoY to ₹155 crore with margins stable at 28.4%, while PAT surged 55% YoY to ₹44 crore aided by lower finance costs. Surgical volumes grew 11.6% YoY, with high-end cataract procedures rising to 28% of cataract revenue and robotic cataract surgeries up 83% YoY. The company added 38 new facilities in 9M FY26 and plans 16 more in Q4, targeting 55-60 annual additions. Management reiterated confidence in meeting full-year guidance. Key risk: slower-than-expected ramp-up in newer geographies like Delhi and Ethiopia could pressure near-term margins.
