What Changed
Narayana Hrudayalaya reported a 69.9% YoY revenue increase to ₹1,327 crores in Q4 FY26, reflecting successful hospital expansion and technology adoption. The company achieved an EBITDA margin of 25.1%, up from 21.5% in the prior year, indicating operational efficiency gains. However, clinic-level losses widened to INR 66 crores due to investments in new facility openings. Management highlighted progress in UK operations, where EBITDA margins improved to 10%, though still inadequate to service debt obligations. Forward guidance includes doubling clinic count by FY27, entering the Calcutta market, and implementing 30-35% price increases in the Cayman insurance business to enhance profitability. Capex plans for FY28 remain unchanged despite potential election-related delays. The company also emphasized ongoing AI integration across radiology and clinical workflows to support long-term scalability and margin improvement. Consolidated EBITDA margin guidance is anchored at approximately 20% for future periods.
