Ascott REIT’s gross profit climbed 9% to $48.8m in Q3

Thanks to income from acquired properties.

Ascott Residence Trust reported a 9% year-on-year increase in its gross profit to $48.8m for the third quarter. The increase was driven additional income of S$8.5 million from new properties acquired in 2014, and stronger contribution from existing properties.

Revenue for 3Q 2014 rose 9% year-on-year to $93.7 million, while unitholders’ distribution for 3Q 2014 grew 8% year-on-year.

Ascott Reit’s distribution per unit (DPU) of 2.11 cents for 3Q14 is 15% higher than the adjusted DPU of 1.84 cents for 3Q13. The adjusted DPU accounted for the effects from Ascott Reit’s rights issue in December 2013 and excluded one-off items.

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.
