Cromwell EREIT's NPI climbed 6.6% to $93.76m in H1

New office acquisitions boosted growth by $22.74m.

Cromwell European REIT's (CEREIT) net property income (NPI) grew 6.6% YoY to $93.76m (EUR57.72m) in H1 2020, from $87.92m (EUR54.13m) in H1 2019, the company announced. Revenue rose 13.7% to $152.13m (EUR93.66m) over the same period.

The gross revenue for office assets leapt 32.3% YoY to $89.01m (EUR54.8m), whilst NPI jumped 24.5% to $55.23m (EUR34m), thanks to new office acquisitions in Poland contributing $22.74m (EUR14m) in gross revenue during the period.

For light industrial and logistics portfolio, gross revenue declined $50.68m (EUR31.2m), whilst NPI fell 11.4% to $30.54m (EUR18.8m), attributed to the completion of the divestment of Parc d’Osny on October 2019 and the 12 non-core assets in France, the Netherlands and Denmark on March, although this was partially offset by acquisitions in Germany.

Revenue for other property assets, which consist of 3 government-let campuses, 1 retail asset and 1 hotel in Italy, revenue largely held steady whilst NPI slipped 12.3% due to retail closures. The company noted that both the cinema and hotel have now reopened.

CEREIT saw distributable income of $72.44m (EUR44.6m), 0.6% lower YoY. DPU was set at $0.028 (EUR0.0174), with base management fee and property management fee paid in cash.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
