Five-fold jump in MAHB’s Q2 profit

The international ratings agency said the change in outlook was because of the heightened operating challenges for MAHB

PETALING JAYA: Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd’s (MAHB) earnings for the second quarter ended June 30 saw a five-fold increase to RM66.9mil on a higher contribution from its Malaysian operations.

The airport operator told the stock exchange that the increase in net profit for the quarter was negated by a higher loss before taxation (LBT) from its overseas operations.
