Prolintas Infra posts higher 2Q profit, declares 3.18 sen payout

PETALING JAYA: Prolintas Infra Business Trust remains optimistic about the outlook and long-term fundamentals of its assets despite persistent global economic uncertainties.

For the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, the toll road operator’s profit before tax grew by 33.5% year-on-year (y-o-y) to RM15.9mil primarily due to higher toll revenue and increased investment income from Shariah-compliant placements.

Highway operations revenue rose 4% y-o-y to RM80.8mil, compared to RM77.6mil in 2Q24. This was driven by a 4.1% increase in overall toll collection across all highways in Prolintas Infra’s portfolio, with Ampang-Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway recording a 1% rise, Guthrie Corridor Expressway up by 4.3%, Lebuhraya Kemuning-Shah Alam increasing by 5.2%, and Sistem Lingkaran Lebuhraya Kajang posting a 4.7% growth compared to the same quarter last year.

Prolintas Infra declared a first-half income distribution of 3.18 sen per unit. The payment date is on Sept 22, 2025, and the entitlement date is on Sept 10, 2025, its exchange filing stated. As at June 30, 2025, the company has a cash reserve of RM492.5mil.

Chief executive officer Mohamad Idros Mosin said the company remained optimistic about the outlook for its highways. He also stated that supported by Malaysia’s steady economic growth and ongoing urbanisation, its highways continue to serve as essential transport links within the Klang Valley.

Prolintas Infra added it remains committed to unlocking organic growth by enhancing the user experience through upgraded facilities and value-added services, reinforcing its position as the preferred choice for commuters.
