First REIT cites weak foreign exchange rates for 9M income drop

The firm’s investment decreased to $1.07b from $1.12b due to weakening Rupiah, Yen against Singapore Dollar.

First REIT Management Ltd. rental and other income and net property income (NPI) stood at $75.5m and $73.3m in the first nine months, respectively, representing decreases of 2% and 1.4% compared to the same period last year.

The financial results in 9M 2025 were directly impacted by the depreciation of the Indonesian  Rupiah and Japanese Yen against the Singapore Dollar, the healthcare REIT said.

During nine-month period, investment properties decreased to $1.07b from $1.12b mainly due to the weakening of the foreign currencies against the Singapore Dollar.

First REIT has a portfolio of 32 assets with assets under management (AUM) of $1.12b across Asia, with 14 nursing homes in Japan, 11 hospitals and two integrated hospitals and malls in Indonesia, and three nursing homes in Singapore.

The assets have an occupancy rate of 100% as of 30 September 2025, the firm said.

First REIT cited uncertain global trade dynamics and sustained fiscal pressures to influence foreign exchange rates.

“These factors contribute to heightened exchange rate fluctuations, which may affect cross-border capital flows, asset valuations, and earnings stability,” it said.

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.
