PMCK Bhd delivered a 35.13% jump in net profit to RM15.31 million for the financial year ended 2026 (FY26), driven by stronger margins and disciplined cost management despite softer revenue in the private healthcare sector.
The higher profitability is achieved even as revenue eased to RM88.9 million from RM93.27 million a year earlier, reflecting resilient underlying demand and improved operational efficiency.
For the fourth quarter, PMCK posted a sharp improvement in profitability too, with net profit rising to RM4.7 million from RM2.39 million, despite lower revenue of RM19.02 million compared to RM20.74 million previously.
PMCK Managing Director Datuk Lee Gaik Cheng said the performance demonstrated the group’s resilience in navigating a more challenging operating environment following the conclusion of the Hospital Services Outsourcing Programme.
“While revenue moderated during the second half of the financial year, our focus on operational efficiency, service quality and prudent cost management enabled us to improve earnings and further strengthen our financial position,” she said.
She highlighted that he group’s financial position remained strong, with total equity increasing to RM162.19 million, supported by liquidity of about RM91.63 million comprising cash, fixed deposits and short-term investments.
She revealed that the upcoming PMC Kulim hospital, targeted for completion in the first quarter of 2028, is expected to be a key growth driver as it taps rising healthcare demand in the Kulim Hi-Tech Park corridor.
Nevertheless, Lee said the group remains cautiously optimistic on the outlook for Malaysia’s private healthcare sector, supported by demographic trends, rising health awareness and sustained demand for timely access to quality medical services.
