The Board of Star Imaging and Path Lab Ltd approved unaudited financial results for the half year ended September 30, 2025, along with a clean (unmodified) limited review report from statutory auditor BHS & Co. Revenue from operations rose sharply to Rs 4,524 lakhs from Rs 2,592 lakhs in the same period last year, a jump of roughly 74%. Profit after tax grew about 62% to Rs 1,003 lakhs versus Rs 620 lakhs, with EPS of Rs 5.79 for the half year. However, EBITDA margin (PBT + depreciation + finance costs) compressed to about 39% from around 45% a year ago, as total expenses grew faster than revenue. The balance sheet strengthened materially post-IPO, with reserves jumping to Rs 8,939 lakhs from Rs 3,356 lakhs and long-term borrowings cut by more than half. Operating cash flow turned positive at Rs 460 lakhs versus a negative Rs 588 lakhs in FY25.
Strong top-line and bottom-line growth signal robust business expansion for this recently-listed diagnostics chain, which should be viewed positively by shareholders. Watch-out is the declining margin trend and rising trade receivables, which could pressure working capital. The IPO proceeds have significantly strengthened the balance sheet and funded full loan repayment.
