The company's EBITDA increased 14.2 per cent to Rs 170 crore during the quarter, while the EBITDA margin stood at 31 per cent against 33.5 per cent in the corresponding quarter of the previous year.

Rainbow expanded its presence in Andhra Pradesh with the commencement of operations at a 70-bed hospital in Nellore and a new 50-bed facility in Guntur.
It is also planning a 150-bed specialty paediatric hospital in Amaravati following the allotment of two acres by the state government.
Chairman and Managing Director Dr Ramesh Kancharla said the expansion in Nellore and Guntur would strengthen the company's presence in Andhra Pradesh, while the proposed Amaravati hospital was in the project planning stage.
The company invested Rs 81.9 crore in capital expenditure during the quarter.
Its cash, cash equivalents, fixed deposits and mutual fund investments stood at Rs 542.8 crore as on September 30, 2026.
CEO Abarali Dalal said the company had recorded revenue growth of over 20 per cent for the third consecutive quarter, supported by patient volumes, the addition of doctors and operational efficiencies.
