The company began its international operations in 2012 and currently operates 16 facilities across nine African countries, offering various eye care services, including treatments for cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, dry eye, refractive surgeries, as well as pediatric and neuro-ophthalmological treatments.
The company provides surgeries for a variety of eye conditions, including cataracts, corneal and retinal issues, refractive errors, and more. Additional treatments include glaucoma management, squint correction, and oculoplasty procedures. Notable surgical techniques include intraocular lens procedures, corneal transplants, pinhole pupilloplasty, single-pass four-throw pupilloplasty and LASIK surgeries.
The facilities operated by Dr Agarwal’s Healthcare have national and international accreditations, including recognition from the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals and Healthcare Providers (NABH).
The company has seen a consistent increase in revenue from operations. Revenue from operations increased from Rs 696.08 crore in FY22 to Rs 1,017.98 crore in FY23 to Rs 1,332.15 crore in FY24.
Dr Agarwal’s Healthcare employs doctors under retainership agreements. There is no guarantee that these doctors will not terminate their agreements with the company prematurely. The inability to attract and retain qualified medical professionals could negatively impact the company’s business operations and financial performance.
A significant number of the company’s facilities are concentrated in Tamil Nadu (particularly Chennai), Maharashtra, and Karnataka. Any adverse developments in these regions could negatively affect the company’s operations and finances.
The hub-and-spoke model is a key revenue driver. The segment generated Rs 732.95 crore (99.77%) for the six months ending September 30, 2024, and Rs 1,158.35 crore (99.71%), Rs 868.80 crore (99.48%), and Rs 560.43 crore (99.46%) of the revenue from operations in FY24, FY23, and FY22, respectively. The model’s success relies on the reputation and performance of the facilities. Any issues impacting these facilities could harm the company’s overall performance.
A substantial portion of the revenue comes from surgeries. Surgeries contributed Rs 537.82 crore (65.58%) for the six months ending September 30, 2024, and Rs 855.19 crore (64.20%), Rs 636.05 crore (62.48%), and Rs 401.28 crore (57.65%) to the revenue from operations in FY24, FY23, and FY22, respectively. Any decline in surgical income could negatively affect the company’s financial condition
The company, its directors, promoters, and subsidiaries are currently involved in certain ongoing legal proceedings. Any adverse judgments in any of these cases could be detrimental to the company’s business prospects.
The company depends on third-party suppliers for equipment, medical consumables, drugs, and maintenance services. Any failure on the part of these suppliers to fulfil their obligations could disrupt the company’s operations, adversely affecting its financial results.
As of December 31, 2024, the company had outstanding borrowings of Rs 360.54 crore. Any inability to repay or service these loans could adversely affect the company’s financial position.
