CapitaLand China Trust H1 DPU dips 1.6% to 2.45 cents
Gross revenue slipped 4.4% to $152.3m, whilst NPI fell 2.5% to $103.9m.
CapitaLand China Trust’s (CLCT) distribution per unit (DPU) fell 1.6% to 2.45 cents in the first half of 2026, from 2.49 cents a year earlier.
Gross revenue declined 4.4% to $152.3m, whilst net property income fell 2.5% to $103.9m due to the absence of contributions from CapitaMall Yuhuating following its divestment in October 2025.
On a same-store basis, excluding the contribution from the divested CapitaMall Yuhuating, DPU rose 2.9% from 2.38 cents, the trust said in a bourse filing.
Retail portfolio occupancy increased to 97.3% from 96.9% a year earlier. Retail properties accounted for 70.6% of CLCT’s portfolio gross rental income as at 30 June.
The trust’s average cost of debt declined by 36 basis points to 3.06% per annum from 3.42%, resulting in a 16% year-on-year reduction in interest costs.
