KPJ Healthcare 1Q pre-tax profit rises to RM54.23 million

KUALA LUMPUR: KPJ Healthcare Bhd’s pre-tax profit rose to RM54.23 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017 from RM51.02 million recorded in the same quarter a year ago.

Revenue increased to RM793.91 million, an increase of seven per cent as compared to RM743.95 million previously, it said in a filing to Bursa Malaysia yesterday.

The company attributed the better performance to the increase in revenue generated by its newly opened hospital, KPJ Pahang, and existing hospitals in the group.

“On prospect, the group will focus on maintaining its market position with strong growth potential through enhancing capacity via hospital network expansion and continuously improving service delivery to patients with new innovative and improved products and services,” it said. — Bernama
