KUALA LUMPUR: Amcorp Properties Bhd posted a net profit of RM117.7 million for the first quarter ended June 30, a 57% jump from RM11.2 million registered in the previous corresponding period.
Revenue rose to RM40.7 million, from RM32.5 million previously.
The increase in net profit was contributed by the group’s Malaysia and London properties.

“Despite the less-than-favourable weather condition, the renewable energy and contracting division generated an operating profit of RM0.8 million,” it added.
The group operates a 10.25 MW solar plant in Gemas, Negeri Sembilan.
In the result announcement, Amcorp Properties said it expects the company to be profitable for the financial year ending March 31, 2015.
“The board expects sales from its London and Malaysia property projects to contribute positively to the group’s earnings,” said the group in its filing.
