KUALA LUMPUR: Petronas'' Gas Bhd (PGB) posted net profit RM386.74 million on the back of revenue RM916.55 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011, due to higher gas processing revenue and utilities sales, and lower tax expense.
It said on Wednesday, Aug 17 that earnings per share was 19.54 sen while net assets per share was RM4.47.
Commenting on its prospects, PGB said revenue from the fee structure under the GPTA is dependent on the volume of the gas processed at the gas processing plants as well as volume of gas delivered directly into the pipeline network.
