Frasers Commercial Trust NPI grew 26% to $26.7m in Q1

Higher rental income from China Square Central and Alexandra Technopark drove its growth.

Frasers Commercial Trust saw its net property income (NPI) jump 26% YoY to $26.71m in Q1 2020 from $21.12m in Q1 2019, the company announced. Gross revenue rose 20% to $37.78m.

Higher rental incomes from China Square Central, Alexandra Technopark, Central Park and 357 Collins Street, as well as lower utilities expenses for Alexandra Technopark contributed to its income growth.

However, it was partially offset by higher amortisation of leasing incentives for Central Park and 357 Collins Street, weaker average Australia Dollar, and higher property maintenance and management expenses for the Singapore properties.

Half of its NPI figure came from Singapore, where it reached $14.6m, whilst Australia took up 42% or $12.1m of the NPI. The remaining 8% or $2.3m was generated in the UK.

The company’s distribution income to unitholders edged up 2% YoY to $22m, which translates to a distribution per unit (DPU) of 2.40 cents.

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.
