HMI posts stronger Q2 profit of RM15.72m; issues interim dividend

Singapore

PRIVATE healthcare provider Health Management International's second quarter net profit nearly tripled from RM5.33 million to RM15.72 million (S$5.29 million), prompting it to dish out an interim dividend of one sen per share.

HMI's stronger bottom line came on the back of an improved performance as well as its increased stake in its two hospitals. It now owns 100 per cent of both Makhota Medical Centre and Regency Specialist Hospital following a consolidation exercise that took place in March last year.
