Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia” or the “Exchange”) announced a Profit After Tax, Zakat and Minority Interest (“PATAMI”) of RM132.4 million for the first half of the year ended 30 June 2023 (“1H2023”). This represents a 3.9% growth from the RM127.4 million PATAMI recorded against the corresponding period of the previous year ended 30 June 2022 (“1H2022”). The increase is attributed to a decline in operating expenses of 8.5% to RM131.1 million in 1H2023 from RM143.2 million in 1H2022, mainly due to a one-off reversal of provision.

The Board of Directors approved and declared an interim dividend of 15 sen per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2023. This amounts to approximately RM121.4 million, representing a payout ratio of 91.7%.
