Aster DM Quality Care Profit Slumps 81% Despite Strong Revenue
Aster DM Quality Care is a big company that runs hospitals and takes care of sick people.
The company just told everyone how much money it made in the first three months of the year, called Q1.
Many more patients visited its hospitals, and the money it collected from them went up by over a fifth.
Even so, the profit it kept went down by about 81 percent compared with last year.
Profit is what is left after a company pays for everything it needs, and this time much less was left over.
The company became much bigger when two hospital groups, Aster DM Healthcare and Quality Care India, joined into one.
The joined company served nearly two million patients in just three months.
Together, the two groups made more money than they did last year, and the boss, Varun Khanna, called the merger a big milestone.
The company says it will keep working on uniting its hospitals and caring for patients better.
Aster DM Quality Care's consolidated net profit fell 81.2% year-on-year to Rs 16.1 crore for the quarter ended June 2026 (Q1 FY27), from Rs 85.5 crore a year earlier.
Revenue from operations rose 21.6% to Rs 1,311 crore, compared with Rs 1,078 crore in Q1 FY26.
EBITDA increased 27.5% to Rs 264.3 crore, with margin improving to 20.2% from 19.2%.
Total patient volumes grew 16% year-on-year; mature hospitals' revenue rose 19% while emerging hospitals surged 95%.
On a combined pro forma basis after the Aster DM Healthcare and Quality Care India merger, revenue reached Rs 2,597 crore, up 20%, with operating EBITDA up 30% to Rs 576 crore.
