Parkway Life's Q4 2019 NPI up 2.3% YoY to $27.3m

Whilst, the firm’s revenue fell 1.9% for the quarter.

Parkway Life Real Estate Investment Trust’s (Parkway Life REIT) net property income (NPI) for Q4 2019 jumped 2.3% YoY from $26.72m to $27.32m, according to its bourse filing. The firm’s revenue for the quarter, on the other hand, slid by 1.9% YoY to $28m from $28.57m in the previous year.

The lower gross revenue for the quarter was attributed to the one-time reclassification of insurance reimbursement to property expenses received by the firm during the year. Gross revenue for the quarter also comprised contribution from three nursing rehabilitation facilities acquired on 13 December 2019 and higher rent from the Singapore properties.

The firm’s amount available for distribution in Q4 leapt 1.9% YoY to $20.9m from $20.5m last year, whilst distribution per unit (DPU) grew 2%, from 3.28 cents in Q4 2018 to 3.34 cents in Q4 2019.

The rental growth of the firm’s existing properties and its cost savings from the refinancing initiatives completed in 2018 and 2019 contributed to DPU expansion.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
