Bursa Malaysia Berhad (“Bursa Malaysia” or the “Exchange”) reported a Profit After Tax, Zakat and Minority Interest (“PATAMI”) of RM241.2 million for the nine-month financial period ended 30 September 2024 (“9M2024”), a 25.1% increase from RM192.8 million in the previous corresponding period ended 30 September 2023 (“9M2023”). The rise in PATAMI primarily stemmed from a 39.1% surge in operating revenue from the Securities Market to RM411.8 million in 9M2024, up from RM296.0 million in 9M2023. Meanwhile, total operating expenses saw a 30.4% increase to RM273.4 million in 9M2024 from RM209.6 million in 9M2023, mainly due to higher staff costs, IT maintenance, as well as service fees. A one-off reversal of provision in 9M2023 also contributed to the higher percentage increase in operating expenses in 9M2024.
