Divestments hurt CapitaCommercial Trust

Gross revenue fell 9.2% after dropping Robinson Point and Starhub Centre.

OCBC Investment Research noted:

For 2Q11, CapitaCommercial Trust (CCT) reported a distributable income of S$54.4m or an estimated DPU of 1.92 S cents, bringing the total distribution for 1H11 to 3.77 S cents. Given the current unit price of S$1.46, this translates to an annualized distribution yield of 5.2%. Relative to 2Q10, we saw a 2.5% dip in distributable income. In addition, gross revenue also fell 9.2% on a YoY basis to S$91m. These dips are mainly due to the absence of contributions from Robinson Point and Starhub Centre which were divested in Apr and Sep last year, respectively. Continued asset enhancement works at Six Battery Road also resulted in lower occupancy rates this year. Management indicates that current signing rents are still below levels for expiring leases and expects to see negative rental reversion continue this year.

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.
