MUMBAI – Jupiter Life Line Hospitals Ltd. Friday reported an on-year decline in net profit for the June quarter as total expenses rose faster than income, despite strong growth in revenue from operations.

 

Jupiter Life's consolidated net profit for the June quarter declined 15% on year to INR 374.86 million from INR 438.86 million a year ago. The company's revenue from operations rose 16% on year to INR 4.11 billion during the quarter. The company's total income increased 15% to INR 4.22 billion in the June quarter from INR 3.66 billion a year ago.

 

The company's total expenses rose 22% on year to INR 3.71 billion. The professional fees increased 24% on year to INR 1.02 billion, while the employee benefit expenses rose 21% on year to INR 745 million. The company's other expenses rose 26% on year to INR 750 million.

 

The company appointed Harshad Purani as the chief financial officer with effect from Jul. 31.

 

Jupiter Life's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortisation were INR 793 million, up 1% from INR 784 million a year ago. The company's EBITDA growth was impacted by a ramp-up of loss of INR 95 million in Dombivli Hospital and higher marketing costs on account of launch-related activities, the company said.

 

The company reported higher depreciation following commercialisation of Dombivli hospital and higher finance costs owing to an increase in debt for ongoing capital expenditure. The company's EBITDA margin contracted to 19.3% from 22.2% in the year-ago quarter.

 

The company's operational capacity was at 1,259 beds at the end of June quarter. The company's average occupancy rate, excluding Dombivli Hospital, rose to 61.7% from 60.1% in the year-ago quarter. The average revenue per occupied bed for the quarter rose to INR 73,500 from INR 67,300. 

 

"Our established hospitals continue to maintain healthy occupancy levels, providing a stable financial and operational base," Ankit Thakker, managing director and chief executive officer of the company said.

 

Friday, shares of Jupiter Life Line Hospitals closed 0.3% lower at INR 331.50 on the National Stock Exchange. The company announced its June quarter earnings after market hours. End
