Good afternoon, everyone, welcome to the quarter one FY 2027 earnings call of Narayana Hrudayalaya Limited. We thank you for joining us today. On the call from the management team we have with us Dr. Emmanuel Rupert, CEO and MD, Ms. Sandhya Jayaraman, Group CFO, Mr. Venkatesh, Group COO, Dr. Anesh Shetty, MD of the International Business, Mr. Ravi Vishwanath, CEO of NHIC, Mr. Nishant Singh, Vice President, Finance and Investor Relations, and Mr. Vivek Agarwal, Deputy General Manager, Finance and Investor Relations. The results presentation and financial statements have already been uploaded on the stock exchanges and are also available on the company's website. Before we proceed with this call, we would like to remind everyone that everything that is being said on this call that reflects any outlook for the future, or which can be construed as a forward-looking statement, must be viewed in conjunction with the uncertainties and the risk that they face. Please note that this call is for the duration of one hour. We will address questions pertaining to the India business first 30 minutes, followed by international business. Given the limited time available, participants are requested to ask maximum two questions at a time and join the queue for any follow-up questions. With that, now we would like to start the Q&A. I request everyone to use the raise hand icon to go ahead with your question. Participants, you may click on the raise hand icon to proceed with your question. First question is from Prithvi Raj. Kindly announce your company name and proceed with your question. Hi, this is Prithvi Raj from Unifi Capital. Let me begin with the domestic hospital space first. I think the EBITDA growth of 40%, despite not adding any beds in the last seven to eight years is quite remarkable. In this context, my first question is with respect to the revenue growth. I think till last few quarters, the entire revenue growth for India hospitals came from ARPOB, but this time, surprisingly, even the footfalls went up. Could you explain that, and how should you look at it going forward? Will it be a combination of ARPOB plus footfalls, or it will be predominantly ARPOB till you commission the new hospitals? Hi, Prithvi Raj. I'll take this up. We've been awfully doing a lot of high-end procedures, and also the robotic work has gone up substantially. If you see the margin improvement over the last two to three quarters, they are basically on account of high volume of high-end procedures, and also increased use of technology and robotics. Also, if you see the presence of our clinic across the network in mainly around Bangalore has actually strengthened the brand reputation of the hospital network, resulting in increased footfall. If you look at the data of clinic, clinics we do more or less the total footfalls of patients in clinic is approximately 30% of the total OPD footfalls in the hospital. That is also the level of contribution clinics are doing. That is also complemented towards increasing of the footfall. Overall general demand is also strong as far as healthcare is concerned. We have seen a good traction in terms of volumes coming across the network, across all the regions. It has been a good combination of volumes as well as realizations. Going forward, we would strive towards continuing with such a combination in the quarters to come. Obviously, we will not be able to boil down to any specific numbers. We would always work towards getting a combination of both volumes and realizations in the quarters to come. Yeah. That's clear. Just on margins front, you made a point of the 24% EBITDA margin. If you compare your ARPOB with other competitors, it is significantly lower. However, your margins are largely on par with your competitors. I understand you have taken several initiatives on efficiency, et cetera. You think is there a further scope for hospitals margins to go up or it should stabilize at these levels? Sandhya, you want to take that? Yes, sure, Venkatesh. If you look at how our margin journey likes, you had acknowledged that we haven't added any beds, but we've been able to deliver incremental revenue and throughput. That is what is giving us the expansion that we are seeing in margins in addition to footfalls that we call back. This will continue because we don't have any meaningful bed addition coming in for the next two to three years. Having said that, we have to make a choice on the leverage benefit. We are an operator that works with an affordable care philosophy. We will continue to make that choice on how much do we pull back into cash flows and thereby fueling our expansion initiatives. How much we are going to continue to invest into our new growth verticals, like integrated care, and how much we will pass back to the customers. Those operational decisions we will make as we go through this journey. It is not possible to give a projection on that. What we can definitely see is that we will see expansion in the core operating margin of the business, given the leverage benefit that we will enjoy. One final question on domestic business. If you look at the insurance space, I think the losses shot up significantly during the quarter. Just trying to understand, what has changed so much in one quarter that the losses spiked up in a big way? Should we expect these losses to sustain for the next few quarters, or is it more of a one-off quarter? What explains this domestic insurance losses? Ravi, can you just take this up, please? Sure. Hi, Prithvi. Absolutely right. I think a few things we have to keep in mind on this. It is still a relatively small book, so a few large claims sometimes can have a disproportionate impact when you look at loss ratios. At the same time, when you look at the growth, there are other benefits. You would've seen also that the expense ratio came down substantially. You've got to kind of a little bit balance both those things. In our case, the issue is contained to a few policies. Having said that, as part of our priorities, we're working on a number of initiatives to ensure that we manage our portfolio for long-term sustainability. As I said before, right, small book can be still volatile for a little while until it comes to a little bit of scale. We're not waiting for that. We're working on a number of initiatives. Some of these I can share with you. For example, we're implementing AI solutions across the board to review claims and minimize fraud waste and abuse in claims, especially outside our preferred network. We're in-housing more and more claims to ensure we bring not only a policy view, but also a health expertise view in these reviews, right? That's one of the unique things that as Narayana Health Insurance we can bring to the table that others may not have. We continue to sharpen our audits with our partners to ensure there's high quality in claims operations, for example, with TPAs. In terms of future growth as well, portfolio-wise, we continue to focus on SME and retail business as growth drivers. As you know, those have got better margins than, say, larger GMC accounts. It's a combination of all of these things. As these measures start to deliver benefits and the book size grows, which is important, I feel confident the loss ratios will moderate to acceptable levels over a period of time. In the short term, we might still see some volatility in the book until it achieves a little bit of scale, because some of this is law of large numbers. I hope that answers your question. Thank you, Prithvi Raj. I'll request to come back for a follow-up. Participants can click on ask a question tab. Participants, you can click on the raise hand icon to ask a question. Participants can click on the raise hand icon to ask a question. Next follow-up question is from the line of Prithvi Raj. Please go ahead. I just have one follow-up on this insurance business again. How much of the claims are coming to your own hospital chain, and how much of the claims are going to the third-party hospitals at this point of time? Is that a reason what explains the higher losses? Maybe I can take that and then others could chime in if you want. Couple of things on this, right? I don't think we are prepared at this point in time to disclose some of those numbers. Having said that, as Venkatesh was talking about for the clinics business, for example. Similarly, the insurance business has a lot in terms of brand visibility for the group. As these customers come in, and as we get more and more engagement with these customers and introduce them to the entire gamut of services that Narayana Health provides. Over time, we feel confident that they will consider NH for all their advanced diagnostics and their hospitalization needs. We will see a large portion of people coming to our hospital. Having said that, in our group policies at the moment, we do offer people choice and we are working hard to win these customers to our hospitals by making sure they get great service in the hospital, making sure that the overall experience they have is good, and engaging deeply with them to ensure that our hospital is at the top of their mind when they are considering their hospitalization needs. That is kind of where we are. We do have a difference. Broadly what I can tell you is that on the retail side, a lot of our customers come to our hospitals by choice. On the group side, we are seeing those numbers improving, but we continue to work on that and to be top of mind for our customers to consider NH when they require hospitalization. Thank you. Next question is from the line of Japjit Singh. Kindly announce your company name and proceed with your question. Hello, sir. My question is, what is the current royalty of our U.K. business? Can you kindly repeat the question? It wasn't very clear for us. What is the ROCE of our U.K. business currently? I think it is too early to measure the ROCE of the U.K. business. At the moment, it's very early days for us. We have just acquired that business, we can start reporting this maybe four quarters from now. Is there any target by 2030, any milestone that we will achieve that we can say U.K. acquisition as a good capital allocation? Is there any targets? Anesh, you want to take that question? Yeah. Thank you. Japjit, we'd like to have the international question in the second half, but since you've asked, I think as we said during the acquisition time itself, we don't have any particular definite number to disclose as a ROCE target. Having said that, we believe that the assets were acquired at a very reasonable price, and there is a substantial opportunity for us to improve their earnings compared to where they are now and when we acquired it, without any significant further capital deployments in that market with the existing capital base that already exists. Thank you. Next question is from the line of Sajal Kapoor. Kindly announce your company name and proceed with your question. Yeah. Hi. Hi, team. This is Sajal from Antifragile Thinking, and thanks for giving me this opportunity. My first question is: what evidence do we have today that owning both insurance and care delivery gives Narayana a structural underwriting advantage rather than simply transferring economics between insurer and the hospital? Sandhya, you want me to take that? Yeah, Anesh. Yeah. Hi, Sajal. Thank you for your question. Just to clarify, sorry, due to a prior travel commitment and some delays there, Viren is unable to attend this call, so he sends his apologies. To your question, I think just keeping the underwriting advantage aside for now, if you look at our actual experience in a very short time, where we have the largest cluster of clinics is in Bangalore. The footfalls, the outpatient footfall in those small clinics in aggregate represents a little over a third of what we see in our flagship hospital in Bangalore, including the HSR second hospital in Bangalore as well. When we look at the referral potential and what we're actually seeing being referred in, it is a phenomenal driver of activity, volume, and empowering a lot of the growth we're seeing in our footfall and conversions, especially around the high-end complex procedures, robotic surgeries, et cetera, the complex cardiac interventions and so on. To your second question about the underwriting model itself. There is very little medical underwriting happening in the insurance industry as we speak. We have an ability to understand the consumption patterns through the people who are subscribers for our clinics. We render the bulk of their primary care, the bulk of their pharmaceutical needs, the bulk of their diagnostic and follow-up care. This really gives us an ability to understand where people are spending, what are they spending on, and how can we best position ourselves to cater to that. This is a longer-term play. While we have started seeing very encouraging results with the clinics and the subscription plans, insurance, as Ravi mentioned, is early days. It is a small book. These things will play out. The early signs do point to us having something interesting to work on, where we do have an inherent structural advantage to somebody just selling an open-ended policy to anyone who fulfills certain criteria. That is helpful, Anesh. Just a quick follow-up on that one. Some of the patients would have renewed their policy, right? Given their past behavior, we potentially understand them a little better in terms of what kind of system they have in terms of their own sort of mental and physical well-being, as well as their pattern of submitting a claim. How does that reflect in the pricing for the renewal? That is one. Then as a system, we are continuously learning because, yes, it is a smaller book and early days for us. How is that learning getting reflected in our underwriting decision-making for the new patients that were never part of our network? I will pass it on to Ravi, just a quick comment. For a good number of our patients, given our role as both a provider and insurer, we actually are the only people who can underwrite them and price out a policy as well as a renewal to reflect their changing health status. Ravi, do you want to take Sajal's question? Certainly. A few things there, Sajal. One thing just to keep in mind and kind of be very clear about, right, is that in India at the moment at least, we cannot change somebody's renewal premium based on, let us say, deterioration in their health, right? That is one thing to keep in mind, and we of course, do not do that. Having said that, let us think about how this benefits us over a period of time, right? There are two parts to this. One is, while I may not be able to change prices at an individual level, what this gives me a very good sense of is what is happening at a portfolio level, at my overall group retail portfolio, and at a group policy level, I have a good sense of what the claims are going to be next year. When you typically underwrite a group policy, right, you have some information. It's kind of imperfect that most companies would underwrite with. In our case, we have a good idea of what claims have already happened and are unlikely to repeat next year, what claims haven't happened yet but we know are going to happen next year, and price our renewal group at a group level accordingly, and make changes at a price level as per the requirements at a portfolio level. Right? That is a significant advantage that we have. As our policies come to renewals, right, we've just started getting into a renewal cycle on our retail book and have got three policies so far renewed on the group side, and more to come. We see that this is becoming something that is becoming more and more valuable to us. The other part is the entire engagement that we do with customers. If you think about it in a slightly different way from a customer's perspective, right, what do we bring to the table for the customer? Because we understand their health, unlike another insurance company, we can actually intervene earlier, and we can send somebody to the hospital and recommend that do the surgery now. It's better for the customer, it's hopefully less complicated, it's quicker recovery, and it is a lower cost for the insurance company as well. There's a number of things here that play that allow us to impact the life of the customer in a very positive way, while also managing our overall book in a sustainable way. That is the unique thing that we have as an insurance company that is promoted by a hospital. The only insurance company that's promoted by a hospital. That's helpful. Thank you. My second question is related to a classic tension. When the hospital benefits from doing more and insurer benefits from doing less, how does Narayana decide what is optimal for the system as a whole? In the short run, there is a conflict. In the long run, if the hospital does too much, the insurance arm will not be sustainable. If the hospital does too less, that's also not good for the long-term outcomes of the patient. In a short term, yes, one quarter or two, in a long-term, sustainable way, if you look at integrated care models all across the globe, it is a self-check mechanism where you render the right amount of care, not too much, not too less. More importantly, in our market, where there's abundant choice, if the insurance clients perceive that you're denying care or you're not rendering enough care, they will leave and go, which defeats the entire purpose. Thank you, Sajal. I'll request to come back for a follow-up. I request to all the participants, kindly limit yourself to two questions per participant. Next question. I request Ravi to take a pertinent question from the chat box. Ravi, if you could just see that question on the question number one out of the all patients admitted in the Narayana hospital this quarter. Sure. Are you able to see that question? I am. I would just read that out for people's benefits and quickly answer that. We did cover this a little bit earlier as well. Out of all the patients admitted in the hospital this quarter, what percentage originated through our insurance platform compared with traditional referral channels? The first part of the question. Again, we're not prepared at this point to share the percentages, although we track it very diligently. Again, the insurance book is still a small book, and it will take some time before we see really significant impact. That is, of course, the direction that we all are working towards. The second part of the question is, as the book matures in underwriting, do you expect underwriting profitability to improve through premium increases, better risk selection, or lower operating expenses? I would say that in order of first of all three. In order of priority, I think it's very important for us, and it consistent with our overall approach as a group to have the lowest possible operating expenses to give the maximum possible benefit back to the customer. That will continue to be a focus, and you would have seen a significant drop in our expense ratio from previous periods, and something we'll be working on very closely. A better risk selection, just as a response to the earlier question we spoke a little bit about that. The premium increases will be a fact of life based on how the book performs. Our approach is going to be to be responsible in our pricing and keep doing that and make sure that we are not overpriced or underpriced and trying to be as correctly priced as possible in order to have a sustainable business. Which means value proposition for customer as well as sustainable pricing for ourselves. On the second part, maybe I'll defer to Sandhya or Anesh on that, insurance sitting inside the listed company. Sure. The question is, it sits inside the listed company and therefore suppresses consolidated return metrics. Has the board internally defined a maximum acceptable period of cumulative investment after which the strategy would be reassessed? It's a combination of both time and cumulative investment. As Viren mentioned, we did set out broadly the terms in terms of the amount of investment we were willing to make into this. Things are on track, especially ahead of plan with the clinic, slightly behind with the insurance. Every few quarters or so, we'll continue to reassess if the ecosystem benefits do materialize. The early results are encouraging with the clinics. Insurance is too small to judge now. We'll continue to watch and reassess every few quarters or so. Thank you. The next audio question is from Rajat Agarwal. Kindly announce your company name and proceed with your question. In your presentation, you mentioned there are three projects which have got postponed from FY 2028 to FY 2029. Two to FY 2029, one to FY 2030. What are the reasons for this postponement, if you can share? Yeah. Southwest Bangalore, the 100 beds which are supposed to come during the current financial, which quarter do we expect them to operationalize? Yeah, I'll take this. See, among all the projects which we have listed out, most of the projects are within the acceptable timeline. Even if there is a slight delay, they are within that six-month window period of acceptable timeline. There are a couple of asset-light partner model projects which are running a bit slow, specifically because from the partner side, in terms of certain licensing issues or delayed licensing. Which obviously, we are in constant discussion with them, and it should get sorted in the next month or so. They should cut those delay by a considerable period of time. This is minor delay. Other than that, most of these projects are within the acceptable limits. When it comes to the project in Southwest Bangalore, as you said, we are at the end stage of this construction and we are hopeful to start it by the end of Q2. This is also fully in line with our plans, and we hope to have this start by end of Q2. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Next question is from the line of Om. Kindly announce your company name and proceed with your question. Om, Go ahead. Hi. Yeah. My question was more to Ravi on this insurance side, right? Ravi was explaining in earlier participants call where the insurance business is having. Om, sorry to interrupt, your audio is not clear. May you speak a little louder? Am I audible now? Yes. Yeah. My question was mainly to Ravi with regarding to insurance having an impact on the overall profitability as of now playing. Ravi was explaining that, for now, this will be going a little bit of maybe couple of more quarters, this impact will be. I just wanted to understand from Ravi that how long do you see that the scaling of insurance books will have impact on profitability. By when we expect that that will start contributing on this. Right. I'll attempt to answer that. At this point, we don't make future forecasts. I think the important thing here is a couple of things. As I laid out in the earlier response, there are a number of things that we will continue to do to make sure that the portfolio itself is something that is managed sustainably. That includes a number of things around underwriting and claims, as well as the type of business that we are writing. The nature of insurance business and the way that it is currently accounted is that you are able to book a fraction of your revenue in the period, but you have to book the entire expenses. Growth comes with and does have impact on P&L. These are all things that we look at closely and monitor. I think the important thing for us is to have a long-term sustainable portfolio. Over time, to engage with our customers across primary care that we provide them as part of the insurance offering and as part of the value-added services, so that the entire integrated care approach comes in, and we are able to see, as a group, the value of having hospital, clinic, insurance together, working with customers to help them get well, stay healthy. That's kind of how we're going to be approaching this. We are obviously very focused on a sustainable business. At this point in time, I think given the size of the portfolio, the volatility, it's a little bit too soon to talk about when is it going to get to various levels. It's something that we'll keep working on and keep updating you each quarter. Got it, Ravi-ji. Just to add on to the same. Earlier we had a bit of more targeted segment was the retail. Now, as you indicated, that we have been also looking somewhere on the group and the other segment of the sector as well. Where do you see this shaping up in two to three years? I'm not talking about from profitability point of view. Just want to get a view from scalability perspective. Do you see Narayana Health Insurance becoming a prominent player in terms of the other competitors as well for the health insurance sector? I don't know what you mean by prominent. If you think about the impact that we will have on the lives of our customers, and be able to provide an entire integrated approach across everything that our customer requires from a healthcare perspective, then as Narayana Health, I think we'd be very prominent in the life of that customer. That's what we're trying to build. Okay. I think that's our focus. In terms of channels and distribution, our focus, I would imagine, would continue to be on those areas where we think we can make the most impact in the life of our customer, which for us at the moment appears to be retail coverage as well as SME. These are areas where there is a lot of people who are left uncovered, for whom having insurance will make a real difference in their life, will stop pushing them into below the poverty line. Should there be a catastrophe or not be able to access care, that's what we are focused on. In terms of prominence, I don't think we look at it as a market share thing. It's about how can I provide a complete integrated service across clinics, hospitals, and insurance to our customers so that we can be super prominent in their life. If we make that impact and do that over a period to as many people as we can, then I think we've made a real difference. That's very well. To achieve that, we will be sticking to the Narayana integrated ecosystems, right? We are only targeting on that area. We are not going to pursue this as a separate entity. The question that you asked was over a period of time, right? Look, we are always going to be looking at opportunities and looking at what makes sense. The lens is always going to be an overall integrated lens. That is the unique thing that we bring to this market. That's what we're going to be focusing on. All opportunities, all ideas, new things that we'll invent are all on the table to help us drive that goal. Thank you, Ravi-ji. All the best. Thank you. Participants, you may click on the raise hand icon to ask the question. Next follow-up question is from the line of Japjit Singh. Just on the U.K. ROCE, will it be better than what we have achieved in India and Cayman business? The U.K. ROCE will be better than that? Japjit. Thank you for your question. We'd like to take Sorry to interrupt. Japjit, can you please mute your line from your side? Go ahead. We'd like to take the U.K. questions in the second half, since you've asked. It's still early days, Japjit, to answer that question definitively. Like we said before, we do perceive a very good opportunity to increase margins for the capital we have and disproportionate to the capital we've deployed. It's a country that has a lot of favorable economics in terms of how the business is structured, and especially our advantage of being a low-cost provider. To your specific question, it's too early to have a definitive number and a definitive timeline compared to where we are currently. Second question is, there is a significant increase in our cash equivalents in the balance sheet. Where this cash has come from and where it is going to utilize? Yes. Japjit, you're asking, the cash balance that we are holding in the balance sheet, right? You're asking where we are going to deploy that cash, right? Yes, yes. This will get deployed into the projects that we have committed over the next two years. We have committed INR 3,000 crore. A part of that will be our own contribution and a part of it will be borrowing in nature. We will deploy that cash towards projects. There is significant increase in the cash, from 2025 to 2026. Where this has come from? The cash has entirely come from the performance of the operating business in India and Cayman. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. I think we can take the questions on the chat, Neeram. Then move to U.K. We can finish off all the India questions on the chat. Sure, ma'am. There's a question on, is your HSR hospital on track, and also any plans for expanding presence into North Bangalore? See, HSR is mostly on track. In terms of the North Bangalore, we have already announced our project for the first round of expansion. Whenever we come to the second round of expansion, this North Bangalore will be one of our priority areas, along with the other parts of Bangalore where we are not present currently. The second question is, India, we have already covered for insurance. Yeah, India insurance you've covered. There's a question on ALOS. ALOS during quarter one was 4.3. Where do you see it settling down? Hi, Dr. Rupert here. Our intention is to get it down somewhere between 3.9 and four. That's a journey because that's one of the areas of efficiencies we have been working on for the last couple of quarters, and we want to do that. Some of the complexities of the work which we do have a different length of stay. We are trying to balance out all these things to get to that kind of a number. Overall, the effort across all the hospitals is to reduce the ALOS, but we also have a sizable number of medical patients who require a little bit of a length of stay. It's quite a balance, but we hope to get down to somewhere close to four as soon as possible. There's a question on the overall losses, loss funding for insurance clinic business put together. This we've already covered. We've answered. The rest are mostly for international businesses. Yes. Can you provide some color on the trend in patient transaction volumes across your clinics this quarter? Ravi, you want to answer that? Yeah, certainly. In terms of the overall transactions that we have across clinics. This is something that continues to be positive. Just give me a moment and I'll just pull up some of the numbers here for you. Right. In terms of overall transactions, in terms of OP consults, these have grown by about 30% year-on-year. In the quarter we did about 66,000 consultations across our clinic network. That is something that has been pretty encouraging. A very high percentage of our customers, again, we're not sharing the exact number, but a very high percentage, well over a significant number of the revenue of the clinics comes from these members. That's been very encouraging. Our clinic business continues to grow. We are opening two more clinics this quarter and breaking ground on more later. We are quite excited about the direction that the clinic business is going, both at a clinic level as well as the support that it's providing to the hospital, as well as our insurance business. The entire integrated story that we've been building for the last couple of years is starting to play out, and we're pretty excited with the direction on that. This is a question on the domestic market to which Anesh can answer. How do you see competition because every other hospital is adding beds, and why don't you expand your network in states like UP, Bihar, where organized players like Max, Medanta, Fortis have no presence? Anesh- Thank you for the question, whoever asked it. We continue to evaluate all opportunities in India, especially states that are under-penetrated, like you mentioned. Having said that, our focus now with the current wave of capital deployment and expansion is in the clusters where we are already strong, already have an established presence, and we have a track record of delivering and establishing a brand. We have outlined over the next, I think, three years or so, three financial years or so, how that capital deployment will look like. Once we start phase II, following some progress on phase I, we will consider newer markets and newer geographies. We currently do not have a presence in the states mentioned. There's a question which Sandhya will answer. Is the Q1 FY 2027 EBITDA margin decline temporary due to integration costs, or should we consider this the new normal for the consolidated business? I'd like to take this in three parts, actually. If you look at the India business per se, including combining the losses from the clinic business, even if you set that off, the net margin has expanded by 400 basis points year-on-year. There, I think there is no shrinking. In fact, it's a very strong performance. Cayman Hospital has come back to its earlier levels and has been because of the ramp-up and is operating at optimal margins. There are three places where there is a cash burn. One is Cayman Insurance, India Insurance. Cayman Insurance, we'll speak about when we come to the Cayman segment. India Insurance, we've already spoken about, and both of these are in the improving trajectory, and we will definitely be able to recoup margins over a period of time. Similarly, for U.K. U.K. has also caused a dilution in the margins, which again, we will speak about when we come to the U.K. segment. In all, overall, we are positive that the margin trajectory will be in the upward direction from here, given that all the efforts that we are taking will start to bear fruit in the medium term for us. Somewhat related. Nishant, I think, Nishant, given the time we're making progress. Sure. Let's take questions on the other divisions and where there's a gap, we can take the chat questions as well. Sure. Thank you. Next follow-up question is from the line of Prithvi Raj. Please go ahead. Yeah. Anesh, moving on to Cayman and U.K. If you look at the insurance business in Cayman, it's good to see that quarterly losses have come down on sequential basis. However, in the last call, you mentioned that 1/3 of the contracts will get repriced starting from July. Can we assume that we are behind worse for Cayman Insurance losses and it should start improving significantly as this repricing starts kicking in in July and Jan? Should we look at break even anytime soon? Yeah, thanks, Prithvi. On the exercise of renewals in July, we're very happy to note that we had a 100% acceptance and renewal rate, which is quite unusual for a new insurer. That means we're confident that people are happy with what we're offering. They're happy to accept the price increases to a more sustainable level, and we're confident we'll have a similar result in the January cycle as well. That cycle has gone on successfully. It's not reflected in the quarter results you're seeing because that kicks in from July, but it will be in the Q2 cycle. Having said that, to your question, yes, you will always have some abnormal swings in some quarters in insurance because you can have a few large claims here and there. If you look at a rolling two or three quarters basis, we would agree with you that our intention is fully to see that the worst is behind us in the previous quarter, barring some abnormal swing that could happen with a few large claims for some complex cases. I mean, I think we agree with your conclusion. Moving on to the Cayman Hospitals, I mean, the growth this quarter in USD terms is a bit soft at 5%, 6%. The whole point of getting into insurance is that it will also add more footfalls to the hospitals. Is there any specific reason for this low growth in Cayman Hospitals this quarter or it's more to do with couple of surgeries getting delayed, which explains this? Seasonally, it is a softer quarter. Having said that, if you look at the volume metrics, we are seeing a healthy double-digit increase in whether we see year-on-year discharges or outpatient footfall, et cetera. A lot of it is because of the integrated care strategy playing out. Having said that, we do look forward to the growth being a little more in the hospital end, as you said, which should result from the insurance company growing. The insurance company is not small anymore. We're looking at a $60 million annualized book of business. That should be empowering at least a little better growth trajectory in the hospitals for a few quarters to come. Q1 is a seasonally slower quarter given the holidays. We're happy with what we're seeing in the early months of July and August. One final question on U.K. business. Surprising to see that losses going up considerably in this quarter on sequential basis, and even it has been a revenue decline. What's happening there? One, obviously this quarter. Second, how is the entire traction? Are you people able to take control of the business and the change in payer mix or the initiatives that you wanted to take? How is everything going on there? Sure. To your first question on, there will always be seasonal variation, but on a year-on-year basis, which we'll have to compare to the period prior to acquisition, there is about a 5% year-on-year revenue growth. It would have been higher. However, as you would have read in the media, there was a widespread heatwave, which was very severe all across the country. Critical infrastructure, not only hospitals, but railway operators and other infrastructure was significantly impacted. For us, what that meant is the chillers and air conditioning units in the hospitals conking off quite often, and we lost 70 days of operating capacity, which, in a business with a baseline low margin, can be quite catastrophic. We unfortunately have some of those heatwave impacted days even in Q2. Hopefully towards the mid and end of Q2, the season changes. We think that the worst is behind us. This is definitely something that hit us pretty bad. Hopefully it'll be a one-off. We do have experience through Cayman and India of operating hospitals in much hotter climates with higher humidity. We look to incorporate and strengthen our systems, especially around the HVAC and chillers, to be able to be more resilient to these swings. It'll take some time. To the second part of your question around how the business is generally going, I think we're fairly positive with what we're seeing. The team is doing a great job. The integration is progressing well. We have finished almost all of the separation from the erstwhile parent. We only bought a division that was a very big time-consuming transitional exercise, which is complete. We now have all hands on deck towards our transformation plan and our implementation of our software, our synergies. We continue to be positive with what we're seeing. It's going to take a little time because the certification regulatory timelines around our software products is a little longer than we expected. With the opportunity that we now have scoped out, compared to what we theoretically imagined pre-acquisition, the two are very close, and we continue to be positive on the mid-to-long-term direction of that business. Thanks, sir. That's all from my side. Thank you. Next question is from the line of Jyotish. Kindly announce your company name and proceed with your question. Am I audible? Yes, go ahead. Hi, team. My question on the international business side. Did the international business witness any sequential margin pressure in Q1 fiscal 2027 compared to the Q4 fiscal 2026? If yes, what were the key drivers? Sure, Jyotish, thanks for your question. Let's take Cayman separately because I think that's the relevant one for your question. Q1 compared to Q4 is the weakest quarter compared to the strongest quarter seasonally. Yes, there was a revenue decline sequentially, but the revenue growth year-on-year, if you look at it, for the hospital business where the bulk of the margin, the profitability comes from, a revenue decline will have some softening of the margins. Insurance, which is still a growing business sequentially, we had a meaningful reduction in the losses, quarter-on-quarter. Year-on-year will not be comparable in insurance because the size of the book almost 3x'd year-on-year. Quarter-on-quarter, there was a reduction from approximately $5.2 million for the quarter in insurance losses to about $3.7 million now. Nishant, we have Rajat, and then we can take some from the chat. Thank you. Next follow-up is from the line of Rajat Agarwal. Kindly go ahead with your question. Hi. You did mention that technology certification, et cetera, you have initiated at U.K. Apart from that, any other specific steps that you could share that you are looking at or you might have undertaken? Anything towards change in payer mix or maybe rationalizing HR costs or anything of that kind? Yeah, absolutely. Let's do it in two buckets, Rajat, the cost and revenue. On the cost side, pretty much what we started in NH in India about, I would say, 15 years ago. Standardizing the variation in implants, consumables, the drugs, consolidating purchasing power to a few global vendors and getting those benefits. That process is playing out well. Standardizing output and bill of materials for each procedure, engaging with consultants to understand if they're aligned with a productivity-focused model rather than more of a time-spent model, which can be at cross-purposes. At the same time, when we look at the cost side on the non-clinical aspects, the entire non-clinical, that is the admin overhead, is a large chunk where automation does translate into meaningful reductions in effort and cost. We've already started a lot of that. The thing with our software platform is it's modules. It's not one day the old system switches off and the next day the new system switches on. Every quarter or so, one will pass certification, we will deploy, there will be a quarter or two of settling in, and then the benefits kick in. With each and every administrative process, whether it is submitting an invoice, processing payroll, closing a purchase order. With every administrative process, we have identified concrete steps to reduce the number of touchpoints and the number of steps and costs it takes to fulfill that process. It does take time, and this is in line with our diligence and our thesis pre-acquisition. On the revenue side, our biggest goal was changing the payer mix from a predominantly NHS-oriented payer mix to something more balanced, which had private sources of revenue, which are self-pay and PMI, which is essentially private insurance. We have made progress there. The business' private contribution, while still low, very low compared to peers, compared to the business itself, is at an historical all-time high. It's never had this proportion of private revenue sources. Still early days. It's only been, I would say, two solid quarters of us owning the business. We continue to invest in those relationships, and it's very aligned with what the private insurers are looking for. They are desperate to look for providers that are focused on controlling costs, whereas that's not necessarily been an option for them. They've usually had quite a fraught relationship with the other providers, whereas we are coming out and saying that our goal is to control costs and lower costs. This is very aligned with the private insurers, and they are actively and definitely being very encouraging to our plans and helping us build out the private book of business. I hope that was helpful, Rajat. Yeah. Yeah, that's very helpful. Just one small thing. Earlier you used to give out a breakup of numbers with U.K., without U.K., which is not there now. Can we expect that to see going forward? Sandhya, I think that is derived. Sandhya, you want to take that? Yeah, because we have given the U.K. numbers separately. Without U.K., you just have to remove them from the numbers we've reported. Yeah. Otherwise it is getting very complex. If you have any questions, you can always reach out to our team and we'll be very happy to clarify. No, I did reach out last time as well. I just wanted to know if I reach out to you, would you be able to give me the breakup of the numbers like you used to present earlier? Yes. With and without U.K., we can share. Okay. I'll reach out. Thank you so much. Thank you. We can move on to the chat questions. Nishant, you want to screen and run through what we've answered, or how do you want to go about it? Yeah. There are a couple of questions on India as well. There's a question on any plans to reduce debt or will it be maintained at these levels. The debt-equity ratio and the debt leverage ratios are not very high even now. Our net debt -to- EBITDA is still doesn't 1x. These debt numbers will go up as the project construction picks up pace which will be for the next two, three years. By FY 2030, you would expect these numbers to come down to even lower levels than what it is currently. There's a question on would you be thinking of entering into other European markets or USA, Canada in the next two, three years? Anesh, what do you want to- We have our hands full with what we've started. Yeah. Okay. One question on U.K., which you've already covered for EBITDA, there's a related question, who are the closest comparative hospitals in the U.K. business? Yeah, in order of size, that would be Spire. That's the only publicly listed one. The other one is Circle, which is owned by PureHealth. There's Ramsay, Nuffield, which is a not-for-profit, and then us. Okay. HCA, of course, which is very London-based, so the economics are completely different, but the others would be suitable comparatives. There's a question on India. In the consolidated financials, there's a jump in professional fees paid to doctors from INR 244 crore in Q4 2026 to INR 327 crore in Q1 FY 2027 without increase in volumes. What is the reason for this increase? Is there some one-time element to it? Sandhya, if you'd like to answer. Yeah. Actually, in Q4, we had a reclass in the Cayman professional fees, where the fees to doctors was accounted in the professional fees line instead of the employee cost line. That got reclassed, which means the professional fees for that quarter ended up being negative. When we booked the Q1, that's why you are having that difference. The actual cost has not gone up at all. It is actually flat between the quarters. It is because of the reclass entry that we passed from one line to another that you are seeing that difference. Thanks, Sandhya. Anesh, it's a follow-up question to your answer last. Can you elaborate what you mean by longer regulatory approval timelines for the own software products? Sure. To deploy software in the U.K., medical software, it frequently gets classified, depending on how you use it, as software as a medical device, which has a certification timeline. We knew that there were certain regulatory and data privacy processes to go through pre-acquisition, we did not have the details about how our software would be classified. Having said that, I think it adds about, I'm going to be approximate here, but four to six months in terms of timeline to what we initially anticipated. It's a one-time effort, and the advantage it gives us is there are very few products at our scale that have all the classifications to be used as software as a medical device in the U.K. Thanks, Anesh. There's a question on the U.K. business showing high dependence on the NHS contracts. Yes. It is. I think it's already covered. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead, Nishant, sorry. I'm saying you've already covered on the margins and how the future will look like, but maybe you can mention about this dependency on the NHS. The business we acquired was 95% NHS. That's definitely not good and not where we want it to be. The closest peer in terms of geographical distribution has about 70% NHS approximately. That's closer to where we want to be. It obviously will take time to get there. We did anticipate this to take four to five years to move. Early results are promising. We have had some encouraging signs. It's a journey because the doctor engagement model, insurance relationships, even the location and structure of these hospitals, which you cannot change in the short term, everything has to be redone. It is a worthwhile pursuit because it does come at a meaningfully higher per unit realization, and that is part of our acquisition thesis. One more question. They're asking if you can give a split of the private versus NHS in value or volume terms. In value terms, like we said, when the business was acquired, it was approximately 95/5. We are better off there, but not enough to comment on. What we can do is once we have a few more quarters under the belt, we'll think about the appropriate way to convey progress on diversifying payer mix. There's a question on the share peak. If you can share the losses in India clinics business in for Q1 FY 2027. It's there in the ITEC, that number. We have also given the margins with or without clinics. That number is approximately INR 15 crore for this first quarter of FY 2027 for the clinics business alone. Neeram, do you see any more investors asking questions? No, sir.
