PETALING JAYA: Optimax Holdings Bhd
expects the outlook for the healthcare industry to remain robust, aligning with the government’s agenda.
In a filing with Bursa Malaysia, the company said this will be driven by the increasing demand and awareness from both local and foreign patients who are more health-conscious.
For the third quarter ended Sept 30, 2024, Optimax’s net profit rose to RM3.17mil from RM2.84mil in the previous corresponding period, while revenue grew to RM33.10mil from RM28.55mil a year earlier.
Optimax said its higher revenue was mainly due to the effective marketing efforts from ongoing promotions through online platforms and contribution from newly set up satellite clinics and centres.
For the nine-month period ended Sept 30, 2024, Optimax’s net profit grew to RM9.95mil from RM9.71mil in the previous corresponding period, while revenue improved to RM93.36mil from RM82.54mil previously.
The company also declared an interim single-tier dividend of 0.80 sen per ordinary share, to be paid on Dec 30, 2024.
