  "account": "West Coast Expressway Holdings Bhd (WCE) anticipates the West Coast Expressway to achieve cash flow break-even in FY2030 and profitability in FY2032, according to current projections. Completion of the entire expressway is slated for the first quarter of 2027, allowing the company to gain a clearer perspective on traffic volumes, average daily traffic (ADT), and the highway's financial trajectory. WCE's CEO, Lyndon Alfred Felix, clarified that these are indicative estimates rather than firm financial goals, as the expressway's actual performance can only be accurately evaluated once the network is fully operational. Q1 2027 will be a critical juncture for WCE, as the completion of the entire alignment will provide a more comprehensive basis to assess traffic volumes, ADT, and the expressway's financial trajectory. Felix stated that completing the full alignment will enable WCE to operate as a connected network, offering greater visibility into travel patterns, traffic growth, and toll revenue potential. This will ensure that any assessment of WCE's long-term financial performance is based on actual operational and traffic data, rather than performance recorded during an incomplete network.",
