CDL Hospitality Trust’s 4Q15 net property income dips 2.2% to $37.8m

On back of the flagging tourism industry.

CDL Hospitality Trust (CDLHT) closed the last quarter of 2015 with a 2.2% YoY dip in net property income to $37.8m from 4Q14’s $38.6m. For FY15, NPI slipped 2.5% $137m from FY14’s $140.5m.

According to a report by OCBC, CDLHT’s performance was hurt by sustained softness in the tourism industry, as its Singapore hotels’ revenue per available room sank 7% YoY to $172. This was in turn driven by a YoY fall in both occupancy (-3.5 percentage point to 86.5%) and average daily rate (-2.9% to $199).

Meanwhile, DPU dipped 3.8% to 3.01 S cents for 4Q15, and dropped 8.4% to 10.06 S cents for FY15.

Looking ahead, CDLHT continues to be wary on the outlook of its portfolio hotels given the uncertain macroeconomic environment.

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.
