A year that highlighted the power of endurance and prudence was also the year that underlined the importance of precautions, promptness, and accuracy when it came to containing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The outbreak of COVID-19 reasserted the essential role of diagnostics in fighting pandemics. At a time when the world is battling a grave health crisis, if frontline warriors are the heroes, diagnostic centers are inarguably the essential support crew.
At Metropolis, we understand that effective diagnostic is vital for timely responding to the outbreak. We realise the role we play in generating a roadmap for the global good.
We are aware of the responsibility we must shoulder to take the world towards a safer tomorrow.
We are proud of the resilience Metropolis has shown in this difficult time to ensure personal safety and at the same time, running the operations with limited interruptions, which led to a sustained performance during the year.
We were the first private lab in the country to start testing for COVID-19. With the best turnaround time, continuous medical engagement with doctors and government authorities, strong branding and customer equity, we were successful in churning out COVID-19 related tests.
Our revenue contribution from
COVID and Non-COVID business (%)
Our revenue contribution from
COVID and Non-COVID business (%)
Due to higher test volumes and value per test, COVID-19 Tests contributed a significant portion of our revenue in Q1 and Q2FY21, whereas Non-COVID business continued to rebound in Q3FY21 strongly.
Non-COVID business grew significantly YoY in Q4FY21. While the number of COVID-19 tests increased in Q4FY21 but revenue contribution decreased with the Government’s decision of lower pricing.
Q1FY22 witnessed COVID-19 infections increasing again which was soon followed by lockdown restrictions. In the medium term, as the vaccination campaign gains traction, the Non-COVID industry is expected to thrive. Going ahead, we anticipate increased revenue from COVID-19 allied tests in FY22.
FOR THE FIRST TIME, 8 LAKH NEW CUSTOMERS USED METROPOLIS FOR COVID TESTS. IN H2FY21, WE SAW A HEALTHY CONVERSION RATE OF 10% OF CUSTOMERS WHO TRIED METROPOLIS FOR A NON-COVID TEST. WE ANTICIPATE HIGHER CONVERSION RATES IN THE COMING QUARTERS.
