HMI profit dips 5% to $4.48m in 1Q2018

Foreign exchange losses pulled earnings down.

Health Management International (HMI) profits decrease by 5% YoY to $4.48m (RM13.79m) due to significant weakening of the Malaysian ringgit.

Despite the marginal decrease in profit, OCBC Research notes that HMI posted an overall healthy growth as revenue grew 6.9% YoY to $38.05m (RM117.1m) in 1Q2018 on the back of higher patient load and higher student headcount in the company’s education business.

Average inpatient and outpatient bill sizes both increased by 3.6% and 12.2% YoY to $2.5k (RM7.6k) and $70.5k (RM217k) respectively.

Last November, HMI announced the signing of an agreement adding Heliconia Capital Management as strategic shareholder with an $11m placement.

HMI owns a healthcare training centre in Singapore, two tertiary hospitals in Malaysia and representative offices in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
