Financial Performance
While Suraksha Diagnostic's revenue growth over the past few years has remained muted, the company's margins have expanded from 28% in fiscal 2022 to 32% in fiscal 2024. The company's net profit has grown at a 5.4% compounded annual growth rate over FY22-24.
The company did see a substantial decrease in revenues and profits in FY23. However, this was in line with overall industry performance. As per the company's red herring prospectus, profitability of diagnostic centres across India contracted in FY23, and remained range bound in FY24, due to higher investment in digitisation and direct acquisition of customers.
