Prolintas Infra's Q1 earnings surge 70.5pct
KUALA LUMPUR: Prolintas Infra Business Trust posted a 70.5 per cent rise in net profit to RM3.56 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025 (1Q25) from RM2.1 million a year ago, supported by increased toll revenue.
Its revenue for the quarter edged up 3.21 per cent to RM78.99 million from RM76.5 million a year earlier, driven by higher toll collections.
Toll collection rose 3.2 per cent to RM77.8 million from RM75.4 million, fuelled by stronger traffic volumes across its major highways.
"Growth was mainly contributed by higher traffic on its key expressways - with the Sistem Lingkaran Lebuhraya Kajang recording a 3.8 per cent increase, the Guthrie Corridor Expressway up 3.1 per cent, the Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway rising 2.8 per cent, and the Lebuhraya Kemuning-Shah Alam growing 1.8 per cent," it said in a statement.
The trust said it is confident in the future performance of its highways, highlighting plans to support organic growth by introducing value-added services and amenities along its routes.
These efforts aim to enhance revenue potential and position its highways as the preferred choice for motorists.
