PROLINTAS INFRA BT MAINTAINS POSITIVE MOMENTUM IN 1QFY26
Kuala Lumpur, 26 May 2026 – Prolintas Infra Business Trust (“Prolintas Infra BT” or the “Trust”) today announced its unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended 31 March 2026 (“1QFY26”), with the Trust continuing to record stable traffic demand across its Klang Valley highway network.
Highway operations revenue increased by 2.5% year-on-year (“y-o-y”) to RM80.1 million from RM78.1 million in 1QFY25, supported by continued traffic growth across all four highways under the Trust. Guthrie Corridor Expressway (“GCE”) led the portfolio with toll collection growth of 5.5%, followed by Ampang–Kuala Lumpur Elevated Highway (“AKLEH”) at 4.3%, while, Sistem Lingkaran Lebuhraya Kajang (“SILK”) and Lebuhraya Kemuning–Shah Alam (“LKSA”), registered stable growth of 0.7% and 0.5% respectively. Overall traffic growth remained supported by stable commuter demand across the Klang Valley, driven by sustained weekday traffic volume and continued intercity travel during weekends.
Operating profit for 1QFY26 rose 12.0% y-o-y to RM51.8 million from RM46.2 million, supported by higher toll collection, ongoing cost optimisation initiatives and effective maintenance planning across the highway network. The improved operational performance contributed to healthier profitability during the quarter, with profit after tax (“PAT”) rising to RM13.4 million from RM3.6 million in the corresponding period last year.
Looking ahead, Prolintas Managers Sdn. Bhd. (“PMSB” or the “Trustee-Manager”) remains cautiously optimistic on the future performance of the Trust’s highways. Amid ongoing macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, the Trustee-Manager will continue to focus on operational efficiency, cost discipline and enhancing user experience to support long-term growth and reinforce the highways’ position as preferred travel routes.
“Our performance in the first quarter of 2026 reflects the resilience of Klang Valley traffic demand, supported by continued economic activity within the region. Strategically located across key urban corridors in the Klang Valley, our highways remain well-positioned to benefit from growing mobility needs and sustained commuter traffic, which continued to support the Trust’s operational and financial performance during the quarter,” said Mohamad Idros Mosin, the Chief Executive Officer of PMSB.
