EC World REIT’s NPI down 60.3% to $18.72m in H1 on lease expiries

Gross revenue was also halved during the period.

EC World REIT saw its net property income (NPI) drop 60.3% to $18.72m in the first six months of 2025, its latest bourse filing showed.

Gross revenue is also 56% lower to $22.56m during the same period.

The lower NPI and revenue was mainly due to the termination of MLAs upon lease expiry of Chongxian Port Investment, Beigang Logistics Stage 1, Fu Heng Warehouse, and Fuzhou E-Commerce.

EC World REIT also noted lower contribution from underlying leases, offset by income contribution from new third-party leases secured for Hengde Logistics Phase 1.

In Q2, NPI fell 66.8% to $7.94m compared to $23.88m in Q2 2024. Gross revenue also plunged 61.9%, falling to $9.88m from $25.94m a year earlier.

Accrued overdue rent receivables owing to ECW and its subsidiaries has exceeded $57.2m (RMB321.1m).

Finance costs were 7.5% lower at $21.2m in H1 2025 compared to the same period last year on lower loan quantum.

This was partially offset by higher interest rate for offshore loans due to default penalty interest imposed under offshore facilities.

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.
