We will start the call with a brief overview of the company and on the quarter gone past, and
then move over to the Q&A session. With that said, it's my pleasure to now hand over the call
to Dilip Jose. Over to you, Dilip.
Dilip Jose: Thank you, Diwakar. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to our inaugural earnings call.
As Diwakar said, I am joined by my senior colleagues, Sameer Agarwal, our CFO; and Karthik
Rajagopal, our Chief Operating Officer.
I hope you have had a chance to go through the presentation that we uploaded last evening that
outlines our robust performance that we had in quarter 1. Before we take your questions, I would
take just a few minutes to headline the quarter and give you more context as we look ahead to
the rest of the financial year.
First of all, we are pleased that our growth was driven by volumes -- more patients accessing
our care during this quarter as well, as we believe that is a sustainable option for growth in care
delivery.
Our Q1 revenue of INR3,091 crores represents a growth of over 38% year-on-year. Our network
EBITDA was INR749 crores, a growth of over 26% over last year. Excluding a one-off gain that
we had in the first quarter of last year, the growth is over 30%. Our operating margin excluding
Sahyadri was 25%, and at a network level that includes Sahyadri Hospitals, is at 24.2% for the
quarter.

As I mentioned earlier, we had a volume-led growth this quarter as well. Our inpatient volumes
grew by about 39%, and OP volumes by 26% over Q1 of last year. Average occupancy across
our network was 65%, a 290 bps increase over Q1 of last year, while we maintained an industry-
leading ALOS of just 2.7 days. Excluding Sahyadri, our ARPOB is INR77,200 per day, a growth
of about 9% over Q1 of last year.
Our digital revenue grew significantly and contributed about INR710 crores during the quarter,
representing about 23% of our overall revenue.
Out-of-hospital earnings, a set of initiatives that we started a while ago -- if you look at that, our
e-pharmacy processed over 15,000 orders across 23 hospitals in four metro cities. Our telehealth
solutions completed over 17,000 virtual consultations, and our chatbot, including the MAI, what
we call the Manipal AI-enabled digital health companion -- handled over 9,600 interactions
during the quarter one of FY27.
Our Centres of Excellence, the six centres that we consider as our high-acuity specialties --
Cardiology, Cardiac Sciences actually, Oncology, Neurology, Gastroenterology, Orthopaedics,
and Renal Sciences continue to be a key growth driver, their revenue contribution rising to about
65% in Q1 of FY27. During this quarter, IP revenues across these specialties grew by 45%, so
they have really been the growth drivers for us for the first quarter.
We also continued our efforts to further strengthen these specialties with investments. To share
just a couple of examples, during this quarter, we installed a linear accelerator and a PET-CT at
our hospital in Nashik, introduced optical coherence tomography at our flagship facility MHB
Old Airport Road in Bangalore as well as two other locations in the same city. We commissioned
an AI-assisted neuro biplane cath lab in our Mukundapur facility in Kolkata. We believe that the
interventional radiology program that we have just launched in that city would be able to deliver
cutting-edge clinical outcomes for that region.
I also would like to highlight a couple of outstanding clinical achievements, including first-ever
and regional-first kind of milestones. Our Whitefield hospital in Bangalore performed world's
first robotic pancreatic surgery on a 1-month-old infant. Our Vijayawada hospital in Andhra
Pradesh performed the state's first emergency living-donor liver transplant, and our recently
launched two greenfield facilities, Kanakapura in South Bangalore and Yelahanka in North of
the city, completed their first robotic renal transplants, and you would recall that both these
facilities are in their first year of operations.
Let me also give you a brief update on the performance of Sahyadri Hospitals. Sahyadri reported
revenue of INR332 crores in Quarter 1, a growth of over 13% compared to last year. EBITDA
for the quarter was INR58 crores, a growth of about 19% year-on-year. Operating performance
also improved significantly: ARPOB grew by 15% to about INR45,000 a day, occupancy
reached 63%, and we've been able to improve the length of stay, that is reduce the length of stay
by about 8% compared to last year, and in Q1, we reached 2.8 days of length of stay in the
Sahyadri network.

Work on integration of that set of hospitals to the larger Manipal Hospital network continues to
progress as planned. Key initiatives including enhancement to clinical programs, talent addition,
improved conversion efficiencies, phased digital adoption, and infrastructure upgrades are
