Geographic Revenue Split
Primary revenue is concentrated in Delhi-NCR (Gurugram). The company is diversifying geographically through an O&M contract for a newly constructed hospital in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, and a planned facility in Delhi.

Net Profit (PAT) for Q2 FY26 was INR 30.00 Cr, up 35.6% YoY from INR 22.13 Cr. H1 FY26 PAT stood at INR 51.2 Cr compared to INR 38.7 Cr in H1 FY25. Return on Net Worth improved to 14.43% in FY25 from 13.60% in FY24 due to enhanced operational profitability.
EBITDA Margin
EBITDA margin for Q2 FY26 was 21.2%, a 63 bps improvement YoY. Absolute EBITDA grew 17.2% to INR 58.27 Cr. H1 FY26 EBITDA margin was 20.1% with an absolute value of INR 106.6 Cr. Improvement is driven by economies of scale and higher ARPOB.
Capital Expenditure

Operational Drivers
Raw Materials
Critical medical equipment, surgical devices, and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs) represent the primary input costs, though specific percentage of total cost is not disclosed.
Import Sources
The company depends on global imports for high-end medical equipment and critical raw materials, exposing it to international supply chain volatility.
Key Suppliers
Philips is a key strategic partner, holding a 35% stake in the company's cardiac centers.
Capacity Expansion
Flagship Gurugram facility is spread across 8.23 acres. Tower 3 was inaugurated in Q2 FY25, adding 5 new operation theatres and expanded capacity in nephrology, bone marrow transplant, and gastroenterology.
Raw Material Costs
Inventory consumption increased in FY25 due to higher bed capacity, though overall inventory levels remained stable. Inventory turnover ratio improved 25.55% to 24.12 in FY25.
Manufacturing Efficiency
Occupancy levels reached 64.1% in Q2 FY26. Average Revenue Per Occupied Bed (ARPOB) reached an all-time high of INR 81,248, reflecting a shift toward complex procedures.
Logistics & Distribution
Distribution is managed through flagship hospitals and neighborhood 'Artemis Lite' centers; Solace provides home-based healthcare services.
Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
13.80%
Growth Strategy
Growth will be achieved by operationalizing Tower 3 in Gurugram, acquiring the remaining 35% stake in cardiac centers from Philips, and transitioning smaller asset-light units to profitability by Q4 FY26. The company is also expanding via a new Delhi facility and the Raipur O&M contract.

External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is shifting toward asset-light models and digital health surveillance. Artemis is positioning itself by expanding its 'Lite' and 'Daffodils' brands while maintaining a high-end flagship hub.
Competitive Landscape
Faces competition from other large multi-specialty chains in Delhi-NCR; competes on clinical outcomes and international patient services.
Competitive Moat
Moat is built on JCI/NABH clinical excellence certifications and a strong reputation in Medical Value Travel. Sustainability is supported by high switching costs for complex tertiary care and established referral networks.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
Highly sensitive to Medical Value Travel trends and global healthcare spending; also sensitive to domestic inflation affecting operational overheads.
Consumer Behavior
Increasing demand for neighborhood healthcare (Artemis Lite) and specialized mother/child care (Daffodils).
Geopolitical Risks
Geopolitical instability can disrupt international patient flow and supply chains for critical medical imports.
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
Adheres to JCI (USA) and NABH standards; compliant with Ind AS 116 for leases and Ind AS 109 for financial instruments.
Taxation Policy Impact
Effective tax rate is approximately 23.8% based on Q2 FY26 PBT of INR 39.38 Cr and PAT of INR 30.00 Cr.
Legal Contingencies
Key audit matter identified regarding the allowance for expected credit losses (ECL) on trade receivables due to management judgment in estimating cash flows. No specific material court case values disclosed.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Stabilization of the Raipur hospital and timely execution of the Delhi expansion are key monitorables. Potential impact of 10-15% on margins if operational costs rise faster than ARPOB.
Geographic Concentration Risk
High concentration in Gurugram, though 32% international revenue provides some global diversification.
Third Party Dependencies
Dependency on Philips for cardiac center operations (35% stake) and IFC for capital funding.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
High risk in healthcare requiring continual investment in latest medical technology (e.g., new OTs and specialized units).
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Significant management judgment involved in ECL for trade receivables; historical collection trends are used to mitigate credit risk.
