Moderator: Ladies and gentlemen, good day and welcome to Max Healthcare Institute Limited
Earnings Conference Call. Please note that this conference is being recorded. I now

to Mr. Poojari.

Chairman and Managing Director; Mr. Yogesh Sareen, Group Director and
Chief Financial Officer; and Mr. Keshav Gupta, Group Director, Growth M&A and

statements made in today's call may be forward-looking in nature and a disclaimer

I would now like to invite Abhay to make his opening remarks.
Abhay Soi: Good morning, everyone and thank you for joining us today for Max Healthcare's Q1
FY27 earnings call.
We started the financial year with healthy momentum across the Network, recording
year-on-year growth of 16% in revenue and 15% in operating EBITDA.
We continued to execute well on our ongoing capacity expansion plans. At Max
Smart, we have currently operationalized 50% capacity of the 400-bed brownfield
tower. The remaining 50% beds are expected to be handed over to operations during
the course of the current quarter. At Nanavati Max, remaining 50 beds will also be
operationalized in this quarter and work on the Phase 2 expansion has commenced.
Coming to our recent acquisitions, the integration of Max Bhubaneswar into the
Network is proceeding as planned. The hospital contributed INR 19 crore in revenue
and INR 2 crore in EBITDA during the post-acquisition period in Q1 FY27, with an
occupancy of 50% and ARPOB of INR 35,000, both of which provide significant
Page 1 of 19
levers for growth. Prior to the acquisition, the hospital generated revenues of INR
154 crore in FY26. Going forward, our focus is on integrating operations, renovating
infrastructure, upgrading technology, and enhancing clinical programs to turn around
the hospital over the next 12 months.
In relation to the Pune greenfield, we have acquired the SPV and it is now a
subsidiary of the company.
To further strengthen our existing Network, the board has approved a capital
expenditure of INR 425 crore for a new brownfield tower at Max Vaishali. This will
add 202 beds to the hospital's existing capacity of 387 beds. The building plans have
been approved and the construction activities have already commenced. The project
is expected to be commissioned before FY30.
Alongside our capacity expansion, we continue to strengthen our research and
academic ecosystem. We have recently established a standalone Max Research
Centre, marking a landmark milestone in our research journey. Over the years, we
have built an integrated clinical research ecosystem and have conducted over 750
clinical trials, completed over 2,200 investigator-initiated studies, published nearly
3,500 papers in index journals, secured over 30 competitively funded research
projects, generated patents and established capabilities that translate scientific
discovery into better patient care.
In recent months, we have also secured several research grants and awards from
the prestigious institutes including ICMR Centre for Advanced Research in Precision
Diabetes, the ANRF MAHA MedTech Mission, the DBT European Union Dengue
Program, and India AI Mission initiatives with the National Cancer Grid, amongst
others.
Our research capabilities are complemented by a dedicated education arm, the Max
Institute of Medical Education (MIME). This institute trains over 12,000 healthcare
professionals annually, spanning across 180 programs and our postgraduate
ecosystem has over 600 DNB students across clinical specialties.
Emboldened by the above and the change in recent guidelines of the National
Medical Commission, we have decided to embark upon the medical education
business and have received in-principle approval from the board for the same. We
believe this to be a significant line of business in years to come.
Now, moving on to the Q1 performance highlights:

to operate at near optimal capacity.

quarter.

• Network gross revenue stood at INR 2,982 crore compared to INR 2,574 crore in
Q1 last year and INR 2,664 crore in previous quarter. This reflects an increase of
16% year-on-year and 12% quarter-on-quarter.
Due to the discontinuation of select high-value chemotherapy drugs for
institutional patients, share of oncology for in-patient revenues dropped to 22%
from 26% in Q1 FY26. Excluding oncology, gross revenue grew by 20% and
ARPOB grew by 9% year-on-year.

• Network operating EBITDA margin was 24.8% for the quarter, compared to 24.9%

the recent commissioning of new brownfield capacities and the acquisition of
Kalinga Hospital.
• Annualized EBITDA per bed for the Network stood at INR 71 lakh, versus INR 68
lakhs in Q1 FY26 and INR 73 lakhs in the previous quarter.
