KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 28 (Bernama) — KPJ Healthcare Bhd’s net profit increased to RM82.06 million in the second quarter ended June 30, 2025 (2QFY2025), from RM75.88 million in 2QFY2024, in tandem with higher revenue recorded in the quarter.
Revenue increased to RM1.02 billion against RM924.84 million previously, supported by higher patient numbers, greater surgical volume and improved average revenue per inpatient case, reflecting increased clinical complexity and stronger case mix, it said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia today.
In a separate statement, KPJ Healthcare said its inpatient admissions grew 2.0 per cent to 92,665, while outpatient visits increased 4.0 per cent to 703,802, and the bed occupancy rate stood at 62 per cent.
The group declared an interim dividend of 1.05 sen per share, amounting to RM45.8 million, payable on Oct 10, 2025.
Meanwhile, it said profit after tax and minority interest (PATAMI) increased 8.0 per cent to RM82 million year-on-year, driven by strong revenue growth and prudent cost management, with PATAMI margin maintained at a healthy 8.0 per cent.
Its president/managing director, Chin Keat Chyuan, said the group has successfully exited the Bangladesh market and reinforced Malaysia as its core focus and key growth driver through its transformation plan and portfolio restructuring, which started in 2023.
“The Ministry of Health’s recent decision to defer Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) implementation to 2027 provides clarity for stakeholders and allows time to strengthen system readiness in a more sustainable manner,” he said in a statement today.
Chin said under the KPJ Health System, the group is strengthening subspecialty services, expanding its digital capabilities and laying the foundation for future Centres of Excellence.
“This is not just about growth – it is about raising the quality of our ‘Care for Life’ services. Our focus is simple, to deliver care that is accessible, sustainable and truly centred on the people we serve as we continue to heal, teach and discover for all,” he added.
Moving forward, KPJ Healthcare said it remains cautiously optimistic about its prospects for the financial year ending Dec 31, 2025, supported by sustained patient demand and its ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiency.
These include asset optimisation, capacity expansion and disciplined cost management, it added.
