CCT distributable income up 1.6% in 3Q13

Thanks primarily to lower interest expenses.

CapitaCommercial Trust (CCT) reported 3Q13 distributable income of S$58.8m – 1.6% higher YoY, which according to OCBC cumulates to a 9M13 distributable income of S$174.0m, up 2.2% YoY and is within the research firm's expectations.

With the 3Q13 results, the CCT's 9-month year-to-date distributable income make up 75.9% of OCBC's FY13 forecast. 3Q13 DPU is 2.04 S-cents which translates to a 5.7% distribution yield based on the last closing price of S$1.42.

"The growth in 3Q13 distributable income was mainly due to lower interest expenses and the distribution of S$1.7m in tax-exempt distributable income from Quill Capita Trust, which offset the impact from the loss of income support from One George St. Portfolio occupancy edged up to 97.6% as at end 3Q13, versus 95.8% in the previous quarter," said OCBC in analyzing the results.

"In addition, as a result of continued rental reversions, CCT’s average committed office portfolio rentals increased to S$8.03psf from S$7.96psf," it added.

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.
