ICICI Securities Report

Vijaya Diagnostic Centre Ltd.’s Q4 FY22 performance was broadly in-line with estimates as revenue grew 3.8% YoY to Rs 1.2 billion (our estimate: Rs 1.1 million) with Ebitda margin of 41.2% (our estimate: 41.8%).

Covid-19 revenue doubled QoQ to Rs 179 million led by Omicron wave; however, non-Covid revenues were impacted, which declined 3.8% QoQ.

This was largely due to the fall in radiology segment with lower footfalls at centres; however, demand started to normalise March 2022 onwards.

We remain positive on the stock mainly due to Vijaya Diagnostic’s -

  1. business-to-consumer focus,

  2. highest margin within the industry and

  3. continuous focus on deeper expansion in its dominant regions.

These strengths synergise with supportive macro factors, including the likelihood of a faster shift of market to organised players.

Further expansion in east, especially Kolkata, may drive medium to long term growth. However, intense competition may affect near-term performance.
