KPJ Healthcare Bhd’s net profit for the second quarter ended June 30, fell 70% to RM12.66 million from RM41.83 million a year ago, impacted by the lower activities in hospital operations during the movement control order period coupled with several expenses, such as staff costs, interest on lease liabilities, borrowing costs and depreciation which remain fixed despite the decline in business activities.
For the six-month period, KPJ’s net profit dropped 37% to RM51.19 million from RM80.96 million, and revenue dropped 13% to RM1.51 billion versus RM1.74 billion last year. “The group had taken advantage from Prihatin Economic Stimulus Package and Penjana Economic Recovery Plan unveiled by the Malaysian government, which had provided the group immediate assistance such as wages subsidies programme, loan moratorium, tax incentives programme and rental rebates from Al-‘Aqar Healthcare REIT for the lease of land and buildings,” it said in its exchange filing.
