STATE OF COMPANY AFFAIRS, OPERATIONS AND FUTURE OUTLOOK
During the fiscal year 2025-26 (FY26), the Company delivered a strong and resilient performance, supported by sustained demand for tertiary and quaternary healthcare services, improvement in case mix profile, and continued focus on operational and financial discipline. The year under review reflects steady progress in strengthening clinical capabilities, enhancing operational efficiency, and advancing the Company's long-term growth strategy.
On a standalone basis, the Company reported revenue from operations of Rs. 1,06,049.17 Lacs for FY26, as compared to Rs. 91,326.13 Lacs in the previous year. EBITDA for FY26 was Rs. 21,503.08 Lacs, as against Rs. 18,275.52 Lacs in FY25, while Profit after tax for FY26 amounted to Rs. 10,344.15 Lacs, as compared to Rs. 8,345.78 Lacs in the previous year. The financial performance was primarily driven by higher realizations, improved occupancy levels, and operating leverage, supported by a favourable specialty mix and continued cost optimization initiatives.
On a consolidated basis, the Company continued to demonstrate stable performance, supported by contributions from its domestic and international operations. The Company reported revenue from operations of Rs. 1,08,124.24 Lacs for FY26, as compared to Rs. 93,691.67 Lacs in the previous year. Consolidated EBITDA stood at Rs. 21,800.58 Lacs versus Rs. 18,477.55 Lacs in FY25. Profit after tax on a consolidated basis was Rs. 10,371.52 Lacs for FY26, as compared to Rs. 8,217.62 Lacs in FY25. The overall consolidated performance reflects steady growth across key parameters and continued improvement in operational metrics.
During the year under review, the Company continued to strengthen its position as a leading tertiary and quaternary care provider. The operational performance was marked by sustained growth in inpatient and outpatient volumes, supported by increasing demand for complex and high-acuity treatments across key specialties such as oncology, cardiac sciences, neurosciences and critical care. The Company achieved one of its highest levels of Average Revenue per Occupied Bed (ARPOB), driven by higher clinical complexity, improved payer mix and enhanced realizations. Operational efficiencies were further supported by standardized clinical protocols, optimal resource utilization and continued focus on quality and patient safety.
In line with its in-house expansion strategy, the Company operationalised its third tower, which augmented the bed capacity and supported future growth in high-acuity specialties. During FY26, the Company was also awarded a Platinum Green Building certification and in light of the revised regulatory framework introduced by the Government of Haryana, this certification is expected to facilitate the addition of approximately 250 beds over a period of time. This will enable the Company to scale its capacity to nearly 1,000 beds at a single location, further strengthening its position as a leading healthcare facility. The enhanced capacity is expected to improve access to care, deepen referral networks, and strengthen patient engagement across its catchment areas.
The Company's overseas unit, Artemis Curepipe Hospital in Mauritius, demonstrated encouraging progress during FY26, with a steady ramp-up in operations and improving utilisation levels. Reflecting its continued commitment to expanding its international footprint, the Company also announced a new 110 beds facility in Mauritius under the name "Artemis Cascavelle Hospital" during FY26. The performance of the existing unit underscores growinsg market acceptance and strengthening clinical and operational capabilities, while the upcoming facility is expected to further enhance the Company's presence and service offerings in the region.
In line with its growth strategy, the Company has announced its upcoming super-speciality hospital in Raipur, expected to operationalise by FY2027, marking a significant step towards expanding its geographic footprint in Central India. In addition, the Company has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the development of a ~650s beds facility under the "VIMHANS ARTEMIS HOSPITAL" brand in South Delhi. These projects are aligned with the Company's long-term vision of scaling capacity in high-growth markets and strengthening its presence across key regions.
The proposed developments in Raipur and South Delhi are expected to be funded through a mix of proceeds from the International Finance Corporation (IFC) investment, internal accruals, and debt financing. This balanced funding approach is intended to support disciplined capital allocation while maintaining financial flexibility, enabling the Company to execute its expansion plans efficiently and sustainably.
In a notable development, the Company has initiated a comprehensive heart and lung transplant program in collaboration with KIMS Hospitals, Hyderabad. This partnership brings together clinical expertise, advanced infrastructure and established transplant protocols to deliver complex transplant procedures with improved clinical outcomes, significantly strengthening the Company's capabilities in organ transplantation and critical care.
The Company has also launched a dedicated Geriatric and Longevity Program, aimed at addressing the evolving healthcare needs of the ageing population through a multidisciplinary approach focused on preventive care, chronic disease management, rehabilitation and overall wellness.
Further strengthening its emergency and critical care response capabilities, the Company has introduced a 5G-enabled ambulance service designed to enable real-time data transmission, remote monitoring and faster clinical decision making during patient transport. In addition, the Company has expanded its reach through the introduction of train and air ambulance services, enabling seamless and timely access to advanced medical care across geographies.
The Company is also actively exploring the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled solutions across diagnostics, treatment protocols and operational processes to further enhance quality of care and patient outcomes.
Enhancing patient experience and service quality continues to remain a key priority. During FY26, the Company undertook several initiatives to improve the overall patient journey, including strengthening service delivery processes and implementing structured feedback and grievance redressal mechanisms. These initiatives are aimed at improving responsiveness, transparency and overall patient satisfaction, while reinforcing the Company's commitment to patient-centric care.
Going forward, the Company remains focused on strengthening its leadership position through calibrated capacity expansion, deepening of specialty capabilities, and continued investment in clinical excellence and technology. Expansion across Delhi NCR and select Tier II and Tier III markets, supported by a disciplined and capital-efficient approach, will remain a key pillar of Company's growth strategy.
With a strong clinical foundation, robust governance framework and a clear strategic roadmap, the Company is well positioned to capitalize on emerging opportunities in the healthcare sector. The Board remains confident that the Company will continue to deliver sustainable growth and create long-term value for its stakeholders while maintaining the highest standards of quality, ethics and patient care.
