KUALA LUMPUR: KPJ Healthcare Bhd reported a net profit of RM57.1 million for the first quarter ended 31 March 2025 (Q1 FY2025), down from RM71.4 million in the same period last year.
Despite the decline in net profit, the group’s revenue rose to RM971.8 million from RM908.0 million in Q1 FY2024, supported by increased patient volume and expanded bed capacity across its hospital network. Profit before tax grew 7% to RM97.7 million, while EBITDA climbed 4% to RM211.3 million.
In a Bursa Malaysia filing, KPJ attributed the performance to improved operating margins and service efficiency. The board declared an interim dividend of 0.8 sen per share, payable on 11 July 2025.
Looking ahead, the group remains cautiously optimistic, supported by asset optimisation, ongoing capacity expansion, and operational efficiency. The opening of its 30th hospital in Kuala Selangor this March further solidifies its position as the largest private healthcare provider in Malaysia.
