Daiwa House Logistics Trust NPI down 8% YoY in H1 2024

Gross rental income also decreased by 9.3%.

Daiwa House Logistics Trust (DHLT) registered a net property income (NPI) of $21.2m in the first half of 2024, an 8% contraction year-on-year (YoY). This was attributable to the weaker Japanese Yen. 

The company's gross revenue, likewise, fell 10.7% YoY to $27.6m, resulting from lower rental given the lower occupancy and lower utilities recoverable income but partially offset by rental income contributed by the new acquisition, DPL Ibaraki Yuki.

Due to a weaker Japanese yen against the Singapore dollar, distributable income decreased by 5.7% year-on-year, resulting in a distribution of $0.245 per unit.

DHLT expects demand for logistics facilities to remain healthy, driven by growth in Japanese e-commerce and third-party logistics markets, limited logistics facilities, reshoring of manufacturing facilities, and restriction on truck drivers’ overtime which may drive demand for transition locations.

The REIT also expects demand for logistics facilities to grow in Vietnam due to the growth of e-commerce and the growing middle class.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
