What the board approved
- The Unaudited Standalone and Consolidated Financial Results of the company for the quarter and half year ended September 30, 2026.
- The limited review report issued by the Statutory Auditors on those results was noted, and the results are being made available on the company's website.
Auditor's conclusion
- Deloitte Haskins & Sells Chartered Accountants LLP reviewed both the standalone statement and the consolidated statement (parent plus subsidiaries).
- In both reports the conclusion is unmodified: nothing came to the auditors' attention that causes them to believe the statements have not disclosed the information required or that they contain any material misstatement.
- The reports state these are reviews, not audits, and that a review is substantially less in scope than an audit. The figures are therefore unaudited interim numbers that have been reviewed.
How the consolidated numbers were put together
- The consolidated statement covers the parent and a long list of subsidiaries, including Ekopath Metropolis Lab Services Private Limited, Amin's Pathology Laboratory Private Limited, DAPIC Metropolis Healthcare Private Limited, Centralab Healthcare Services Private Limited, Metropolis Healthcare (Mauritius) Limited, Metropolis Healthcare Lanka (Pvt) Limited, Core Diagnostics Private Limited, Metropolis Foundation, Scientific Metropolis Pathology Private Limited and Metropolis Quality Solution Private Limited, plus step-down subsidiaries in Mauritius, Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.
- For parts of this group the auditors relied on the reports of other auditors or on information certified by the parent's management, and the conclusion is not modified for that reliance.
Two subsidiaries reviewed by other auditors
- Their interim financial information reflects total assets of Rs. 1,120.39 million as at September 30, 2026.
- Total revenues of Rs. 351.72 million for the quarter and Rs. 667.94 million for the six months ended September 30, 2026.
- Total net profit after tax of Rs. 74.95 million for the quarter and Rs. 112.17 million for the six months.
- Total comprehensive income of Rs. 81.07 million for the quarter and Rs. 143.15 million for the six months, and net cash inflows of Rs. 35.69 million for the six months.
Seven subsidiaries whose interim information was not reviewed by their auditors
- Total assets of Rs. 539.03 million as at September 30, 2026.
- Total revenue of Rs. 143.77 million for the quarter and Rs. 282.48 million for the six months ended September 30, 2026.
- Total profit/(loss) after tax of Rs. (2.14) million for the quarter and Rs. 8.21 million for the six months; total comprehensive income of Rs. 2.27 million and Rs. 14.17 million respectively, and net cash inflows of Rs. 32.03 million for the six months.
- Management's explanation, as recorded in the review report, is that this information is not material to the Group.
What a retail shareholder can take away
- Two decisions came out of the meeting: the interim dividend with a November 09, 2026 record date, and approval of the September-quarter results.
- The auditors' review conclusion on both the standalone and consolidated statements is clean, meaning they did not flag anything in the disclosure or the numbers reviewed.
- The consolidated picture includes several overseas and smaller subsidiaries where other auditors or management-certified numbers were used, so the group figures rest partly on that work.
