Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia” or the “Exchange”) posted a Profit After Tax, Zakat and Minority Interest (“PATAMI”) of RM125.5 million for the first half ended 30 June 2025 (“1H2025”). This represents a decrease of 19.3% from RM155.5 million reported for the first half ended 30 June 2024 (“1H2024”).

Concurrently, total operating expenses increased by 6.6% to RM189.3 million in 1H2025, against RM177.6 million in 1H2024, primarily due to higher staff costs and technologyrelated expenses to support product expansion across asset classes, and capacity building, as well as an increase in administrative and building management expenses.
