KUALA LUMPUR, May 29 (Bernama) -- KPJ Healthcare Bhd's net profit decreased to RM57.1 million in the first quarter of the financial year ending Dec 31, 2025 (1Q FY2025), down from RM71.4 million in 1Q FY2024.
Revenue for the quarter grew to RM971.8 million from RM908.0 million in 1Q FY2024, supported by higher patient volume and increased bed capacity across its hospital network, the healthcare group said in a Bursa Malaysia filing today.
Profit before tax rose seven per cent to RM97.7 million, while earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) improved four per cent to RM211.3 million.
KPJ Healthcare said the improved performance reflects stronger operating margins, sustained operational focus, and efficient service delivery driven by increased patient visits.
The company said the board has declared an interim dividend of 0.80 sen per share, payable on July 11, 2025.
On its 2025 outlook, KPJ Healthcare said it remains cautiously optimistic, underpinned by its ongoing asset optimisation initiatives, capacity expansion, and continuous efforts to strengthen operational efficiency.
“The opening of KPJ’s 30th hospital in Kuala Selangor in March marked a significant step in its expansion journey, strengthening KPJ’s position as Malaysia’s largest private healthcare provider.
“These efforts are part of the group’s broader transformation under the KPJ Health System, aimed at delivering more integrated, patient-centred care for the long term,” the company said.
Its president and managing director, Chin Keat Chyuan, said that moving forward in 2025, KPJ Healthcare remains focused on expanding access, building capabilities, and enhancing care delivery, guided by its Care for Life purpose.
“The opening of our 30th hospital reflects this direction, and we are continuing to invest in service quality, including the establishment of Centres of Excellence, which are currently being developed across key disciplines.
“These initiatives reflect our commitment to deepen expertise and improve outcomes for the communities we serve,” he said.
