Fortis Healthcare expansion continues to show strong momentum as the company reports steady revenue growth across its hospital and diagnostic segments. CFO Vivek Goyal highlighted a 19% growth in the hospital business. Consequently, the consolidated revenue grew by 17.5% compared to the previous year. This growth reflects strategic investments in new assets and specialized services.
Currently, occupancy levels stand at 67%. However, management expects this to reach 70% within a year. This increase will follow the ramp-up of new assets and the Adayu mental health business. Furthermore, brownfield expansions will play a critical role in improving overall margins. Existing facilities are also seeing better performance. For instance, previously underperforming units like Escorts and CG Road Bangalore now contribute positively to the bottom line.
The company plans to expand its Bangalore capacity from 900 to 1,500 beds. This strategy involves the recent acquisition of People Tree hospital and adjacent land. Initially, the team will align the facility with Fortis standards. Subsequently, they will construct a dedicated oncology block to meet specialized care needs. Since all Bangalore hospitals currently maintain EBITDA margins over 20%, the market remains a high-priority area for the group.
Revenue growth stems from multiple factors. Specifically, 4% of growth comes from acquisitions while 10% originates from brownfield projects. High-end care, such as oncology, further drives the top-line performance. Interestingly, price increases only account for a small fraction of growth. Meanwhile, the diagnostics segment grew by 8.3%. Management believes there is still significant room for improvement in diagnostic margins.
Q1: What is the primary focus of the Bangalore expansion?
The expansion aims to increase bed capacity to 1,500 and includes the construction of a new oncology block at the acquired People Tree facility.
Q2: How is the mental health segment contributing to growth?
Fortis has launched Adayu, a mental health business. While it is currently in the ramp-up phase, it is a key part of the strategic diversification strategy.
