UPDATE 1-Malaysia IHH Q2 profit soars on one-off gains, revenue jump

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 28 (Reuters) - Malaysia's IHH Healthcare Bhd, the world's second-biggest listed healthcare provider by market value, posted a more than five-fold jump in second-quarter profit, mainly on consolidation of results from a Turkish hospital and gains from the sale of assets in Singapore.

IHH, which raised $2.1 billion in July in the world's third-biggest IPO so far this year, said net profit was 403.54 million ringgit ($130 million) in the three months ended June 30. Analysts generally don't provide quarterly profit estimates in Malaysia.

Net profit for the six months period ended June 30 rose nearly two-fold to 527.38 million ringgit, exceeding the 515.5 million ringgit full-year profit estimate of analysts tracked by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
