Elite Commercial REIT hits 22.3% DPU growth

It has outperformed IPO projections for eight consecutive quarters.

Elite Commercial REIT reached a 22.3% growth in distribution per unit (DPU), an improvement over IPO projections of 11.3%.

This marked the eighth consecutive quarter of the REIT's IPO projections outperformance, said its manager, Elite Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd.

This performance is mainly attributed to its maiden acquisition and enhanced tax efficiencies, following the REIT’s successful admission
on The International Stock Exchange (“TISE”), which qualifies the REIT’s UK entities as a UK REIT group. 

An amount available for distribution to unitholders was recorded at $45m (£ 24.53m), showing a 49.4% year-on-year (YoY) growth from the previous year. 

For the second half of 2021, an amount available for distribution of $24.5m (£ 13.36m) was seen, or a 60.2% YoY growth. On the other hand, DPU for the same period was 12.4% higher on a YoY basis. 

Meanwhile, the group also reported a 100% occupancy rate as of 31 December 2021, with 99.9% of the rent for the next three months to March 2022 being collected in advance. 

The properties also have built-in inflation-linked rental escalation clauses, showing potential upside at the upcoming rent review in the fifth year of the leases.

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.
