Pathology services accounted for Rs 29.16 crore (72.95 percent) of the company’s revenue for the period ended September 30, 2024; Rs 50.12 crore (74.66 percent) in FY24; Rs 41.07 crore (72.97 percent) in FY23, and Rs 48.95 crore (81.31 percent) in FY22.

The top 10 suppliers accounted for 69.80 percent, 69.27 percent, 61.17 percent, and 64.74 percent of the company’s total purchases for the period ended September 30, 2024; FY24; FY23, and FY22, respectively.

Modern Diagnostic & Research Centre is exposed to cost inflation across key operating inputs such as medical consumables, reagents, third-party logistics, equipment maintenance, utilities, and skilled manpower. If input costs rise due to inflation, supply chain disruptions, or global price volatility, the company may not be able to pass these increases through to customers without affecting demand, especially under competitive pricing conditions. Any sustained increase in input costs, changes in test mix, or higher operating expenses from technology upgrades and expansion can compress margins, negatively impacting profitability and financial performance.
The company’s diagnostic volumes can fluctuate seasonally due to factors such as disease patterns, weather conditions, and changes in outpatient activity. Higher volumes during monsoon or post-monsoon periods and lower volumes during festive or vacation periods can create uneven monthly revenue and reduce predictability. Any sustained demand volatility can impact capacity utilisation, inventory planning, staffing efficiency, and working capital management, which can negatively affect operating margins and profitability across quarters.
The company recorded negative cash flow from operating activities amounting to Rs 0.12 crore in FY23. Additionally, negative cash flow from investing activities amounted to Rs 5.85 crore for the period ended September 30, 2024; Rs 11.03 crore in FY24, and Rs 5.20 crore in FY22. Furthermore, the company reported negative cash flow from financing activities amounting to Rs 0.26 crore for the period ended September 30, 2024, and Rs 6.47 crore in FY23. Any continuation or increase of negative cash flows in the future can adversely affect the company’s business, results of operations, liquidity, and prospects.
As of September 30, 2024, the company had outstanding financial indebtedness of Rs 21.13 crore. Any failure to service or repay these loans can harm the company’s operations and financial position.
