IHH Healthcare's net income jumps 27% to $3.8m in Q2

The application of MFRS 129 boosted the company's income.

SGX-listed IHH Healthcare posted a net income of $3.8m (RM12.1m) in Q2, translating to a 27% year-on-year increase.

In a bourse filing, the company said the application of the Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS) 129 helped it gain $91.8m (RM295.5m), which, in turn, boosted net income in Q2.

The company's revenue likewise grew in Q2, rising 2% YoY to $1.4b (RM4.4b)  due to continued growth in its key markets and a return of both local and foreign patients.

"The ramp-up of Gleneagles Hong Kong Hospital (“GHK”) and contribution from General Hospital Acibadem Bel Medic (“Bel Medic”) acquired in July 2021 also played a part, though this was partially offset by the expected tapering of COVID-19 related services," added IHH Healthcare.

Given its strong Q2 performance, IHH Healthcare said it is confident that it will be able to ride out near-term challenges and "deliver long-term sustainable growth for all stakeholders."

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
