FLCT gears for COVID-19 impact on its retail portfolio

COVID-19 had a $1.1m impact on Frasers Logistics & Commercial Trust’s distributable income for the first nine months of the financial year.

Whilst the pandemic has had no material impact on Frasers Logistics & Commercial Trust (FLCT)’s overall portfolio for the third quarter of the financial year, the company expects a hit on its retail portfolio.

In its third-quarter business update, FLCT said that it expects the ongoing pandemic to have a near- to mid-term impact on the retail components of its Singapore and Australia retail portfolios.

For the first nine months of the financial year, COVID-19’s impact on FLCT’s distributable income was approximately $1.1m, comprising mainly of rental waivers and allowance for doubtful receivables attributable to the pandemic, which has not been material for the real estate investment trust.

It added that the pandemic had a limited impact on its industrial and commercial properties in Australia and Europe, whilst it had a minimal impact from the Heightened Alerts in Singapore.

For the third quarter of its financial year, FLCT has completed leasing 2.8% of its lettable area at 74,865 square metres and grew its portfolio rental reversion by 0.8%.

It has 103 properties across 5 countries valued at $6.8b with a weighted average lease expiry of 4.9 years, and an occupancy rate of 96.3% as of end-June.

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.
