Category 3

Expect continued growth in Average Revenue Per Occupied Bed (ARPOB) driven by payor and specialty mix improvements and rising international business contribution.
International business is growing strongly (10% quarterly growth, 43% YoY in FY23), with significant medium-term exponential growth potential.
Institutional volume mix is expected to gradually decline from current levels due to capacity elasticity and pricing dynamics but won't hit 15% immediately.
Operating at high occupancies (~77% overall, with some hospitals at 80-85%) suggests limited headroom for volume-driven growth; hence emphasis on revenue per bed and price increases (standard ~2-2.5% annually).
Expansion projects underway, including land acquisition for increasing beds and commissioning new hospitals by FY24-FY25 to grow capacity.
Digital revenue (~18% currently) continues to grow as a booking channel, but does not impact margins significantly.
Overall revenue growth driven by case mix, pricing, payor mix, and international patient inflow rather than just volume increases.
