✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript

Dr. Lal PathLabs reported Q3 FY26 revenue of ₹660 crore (+10.6% YoY) and EBITDA of ₹179 crore (+16.3% YoY), with EBITDA margin expanding 130bps to 27.2%. PAT declined 7% to ₹91 crore due to a one-time labor code cost of ₹30 crore. Patient volume growth slowed to 2.7% (YTD 4.4%) due to an unexpected decline in seasonal fever tests, while revenue per patient rose 7.7% to ₹927 on favorable mix. Management reiterated 11-12% organic revenue growth for FY26 and guided for EBITDA margins of 27-28%. Key growth drivers include Swasthfit (26% of revenue, growing 2x company rate), expansion in tier 3/4 markets, and the new Sovaka preventive wellness platform. Risks include sustained volume deceleration and potential margin pressure from franchise-led expansion.
