YTL Power's revenue increased 15% to RM5,445.7 million for the 3 months ended 30 September 2023 compared to RM4,744.5 million for previous corresponding quarter ended 30 September 2022.

Tan Sri (Sir) Francis Yeoh Sock Ping, Executive Chairman of YTL Power, said, "YTL Power made a strong start to the 2024 financial year. The improved performance for the first quarter was primarily attributed to better margins and the strengthening of the Singapore Dollar against Ringgit Malaysia in the power generation segment. The water and sewerage segment also recorded improved revenue for the quarter under review, although higher interest accruals on index-linked bonds continued to have a non-cash impact on the segment's bottom line".

MALAYAN CEMENT BERHAD
Malayan Cement's 1st Quarter Revenue Increases 34% to RM1.1 Billion & Profit After Tax Grows to RM96 Million
Malayan Cement's revenue increased 34% to RM1,148.1 million for the 3 months ended 30 September 2023 compared to RM858.9 million for the 3 months ended 30 September 2022.

Tan Sri (Sir) Francis Yeoh Sock Ping, Executive Chairman of Malayan Cement, said, "Malayan Cement delivered exceptional results for the quarter under review. The increase in revenue was contributed mainly by higher volumes and stabilisation in selling prices for both domestic cement and ready-mixed concrete. Higher profit before tax was primarily the result of increased revenue, with the stabilisation in selling prices moderating the impact of higher energy costs".

Tan Sri (Sir) Francis Yeoh Sock Ping, Executive Chairman of Pintar Projek Sdn Bhd, the Manager of YTL Hospitality REIT, said, "The increase in revenue was mainly due to better performance of the Australian hotels with international events during the quarter leading to higher average daily room rates and occupancy levels. NPI grew 17% to RM68.3 million, offset by an increase in finance costs resulting from higher interest rates on Australian Dollar-denominated borrowings, which impacted distributable income for the quarter under review".
