9/ Financials

- Good Cashflow conversion (80%+ EBITDA)
- Capex heavy business, Working Capital under control
- Strong Margins at 25-30% & gross margins of 80-85%
- COVID benefited the revenues in FY21, Non-COVID rev back to pre-COVID
10/ Risks

- 70% of rev from government agencies: Could lead to payment delays
- Competitive tender bidding process to get in: cost competitiveness could be challenged by some new entrant
- Contracts are based on fixed price arrangements: margins are not under their control.
11/

- 70% of rev from 3 states; Maharashtra, Rajasthan & Karnataka.
- Delays in the establishment of diagnostic centres could lead to termination of the agreements or cost overruns.
- Failure to establish and comply with appropriate quality standards could result in litigations.
12/

At 8x EV/Sales, 32x EV/ EBITDA & more than 90 times earnings, plus the commoditized nature of the industry due to high competition & also the boost in sales from COVID-19, we would rather wait & watch this company face an increasing RM cost scenario.

Once upon a time there was a Raja named Uttānapāda born of Svayambhuva Manu,1st man on earth.He had 2 beautiful wives - Suniti & Suruchi & two sons were born of them Dhruva & Uttama respectively.

Now Suniti was the daughter of a tribal chief while Suruchi was the daughter of a rich king. Hence Suruchi was always favored the most by Raja while Suniti was ignored. But while Suniti was gentle & kind hearted by nature Suruchi was venomous inside.

The story is of a time when ideally the eldest son of the king becomes the heir to the throne. Hence the sinhasan of the Raja belonged to Dhruva.This is why Suruchi who was the 2nd wife nourished poison in her heart for Dhruva as she knew her son will never get the throne.


One day when Dhruva was just 5 years old he went on to sit on his father's lap. Suruchi, the jealous queen, got enraged and shoved him away from Raja as she never wanted Raja to shower Dhruva with his fatherly affection.


Dhruva protested questioning his step mother "why can't i sit on my own father's lap?" A furious Suruchi berated him saying "only God can allow him that privilege. Go ask him"
