Ascott Residence Trust’s DPU dips 4.2% in Q4

But stripping one-off gains, it jumped to 17.6%.

Ascott Residence Trust (ART)’s DPU for 4Q15 came in at 2.07 S cents, reflecting a 4.2% slip. According to a report by OCBC, stripping one-off items in 4Q14, ART’s adjusted DPU would instead have soared 17.6% YoY.

Meanwhile, 4Q15 revenue saw a 25.5% YoY growth to $119.2m. It was boosted mainly by additional contribution from acquisitions made in 3Q15 and 4Q14, on top of marginally better operating performance from existing properties.

The company’s portfolio revenue per available unit (RevPAU) surged 17% YoY to $145, thanks in part to its recent acquisitions. Excluding these acquisitions, however, RevPAU inched up 2% YoY as a result of stronger performance of China, Indonesia, and Vietnam assets.

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.
