AGAINST a lower base in the year-ago period, mainboard-listed IHH Healthcare Berhad has reported a 37 per cent year-on-year jump in its first-quarter net profit to RM235.5 million (S$79.5 million), or earnings per share of 2.86 sen.
The lower base was a result of RM116.4 million in exchange loss on the non-Turkish lira borrowings of IHH's indirect subsidiary, Acibadem Holdings, that had been recognised in Q1 2015, compared to an exchange loss of RM5.8 million in Q1 2016.
