CDL Hospitality Trust’s net property income rose 24% to $29.1m

This rise in its Q2 2011 figure is mainly due to contribution from its hotels such as Studio M Hotel.

According to DMG, CDL’s 2Q11 DPU also rose 15% YoY.

Here’s more from DMG:

2Q11 DPU rose 15% YoY, in-line with expectation. CDL Hospitality Trusts (CDLHT) reported DPU of 2.96S¢ (+15.2% YoY; +24.4% QoQ), representing 24% of our FY11 DPU estimate. Net property income rose 24% YoY to S$29.1m in 2Q11 (+18.1% QoQ) mainly due to 1) maiden contribution from Studio M Hotel which was acquired in 3 May 2011, and 2) higher RevPAR for Singapore Hotels at S$205 (+4.8% YoY; +5.1% QoQ), marginally offset by 3) drop in Orchard Hotel capacity due to refurbishment works. Given that the hotel business in Singapore is usually stronger in second half of the year, we expect CDLHT to post higher DPU in subsequent quarters.

Valuation: On the back of 1) lower FY11 distributable income payout assumption of 90% (prev 95%), and 2) higher FY11-FY12 average occupancy rate (AOR) at 88.6-89% (prev FY11-12 AOR: 88-87.5%), we adjusted our FY11-12 DPU by -4.8 - +2.2% respectively. Maintain BUY with lower TP of S$2.41, based on DDM (COE: 8.9%; TGR: 3.0%).

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
