Goa, India (September 7, 2026): Molbio Diagnostics Limited, an innovative point-of-care diagnostics company, has announced its unaudited financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The company reported a significant turnaround in profitability, driven by continued high consumption of its Truenat test kits.

Financial Performance Snapshot​

Molbio Diagnostics delivered a strong performance in the first quarter of the financial year 2027 (Q1 FY27). Total Income for the quarter reached ₹411.48 Cr. The company achieved an EBITDA of ₹103.68 Cr, marking a sharp recovery from the loss of ₹14.50 Cr recorded in Q1 FY26. The PAT stood at ₹52.74 Cr, showing a rebound from the loss of ₹23.94 Cr in the previous year's corresponding quarter.

Operational Metrics and Growth Drivers​

The Q1 FY27 results were heavily influenced by the volume of Truenat test-kit consumption. The operational key performance indicators (KPIs) reflect movement in sales volume across the three reported quarters.

KPIsQ1 FY27Q1 FY26Q4 FY26
Truenat devices sold (Units)1642161,158
Truenat test kits sold (Mn Units)6.240.795.38
Domestic revenue mix (%)83.52%81.84%93.97%
Export revenue mix (%)16.48%18.16%6.03%

The positive margin trajectory is attributed to operating leverage on rising test-kit volumes, partially offset by ongoing investment in the international go-to-market structure.

Management Perspective​

Mr. Sriram Natarajan, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of Molbio Diagnostics Limited, commented on the performance, noting that FY27 marks a milestone year following the company's listing.

"I am pleased to report that we have begun the year on a strong note, with healthy growth across both revenue and profitability in Q1," Mr. Natarajan stated.

He highlighted that growth is led by test-kit consumption across the 12,500+ Truenat devices sold in 90+ countries.

Mr. Natarajan also provided insight into the company's strategic foundation, noting that the organization entered FY27 with meaningful capacity headroom, as FY26 device and test-kit utilization stood at 42% and 58%, respectively, positioning the company for volume-led scale-up without near-term incremental capital expenditure.

The company's pipeline includes 34 additional assays across 22 diseases, extending beyond infectious diseases into oncology and other non-communicable areas. Internationally, Molbio is deepening its presence across Africa and Southeast Asia, entering Latin America, and advancing regulatory pathways in developed markets, including CE-IVDR for its CTNG Test.
