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.
