Frasers Logistics and Industrial Trust net profit jumps 22.4% to $30.9m in Q3

It was backed by contributions from completed property acquisitions in 2017.

Frasers Logistics and Industrial Trust (FLT) recorded a 22.4% YoY increase in its net profit to $30.9m (A$30.67m) in Q3 2018 as its gross revenue jumped 22.6% to $49.7m (A$49.32), an announcement revealed.

The firm’s adjusted net property income (NPI) rose 27.4% to $39.6m (A$39.2m) whilst its distribution per unit (DPU) inched up 2.9% to $0.18.

According to FLT, the gains were backed by the additional contributions from four completed property acquisitions in 2017 which include the Beaulieu, Stanley Black and Decker, and Clifford Hallam facilities.

In addition, FLT’s portfolio remained at near full occupancy of 99.3%, with a weighted average lease expiry (WALE) by gross rental income (GRI) of 7.01 years, and minimal lease expiries by GRI of 0.1% and 3.4% respectively.

“Leasing activity during the quarter was also buoyant, with 118,279 sq m of leasable space contracted, de-risking our expiry profile further,” FLT CEO Robert Wallace said.

By end of June, FLT’s aggregate leverage was 36.3%, with total borrowings at A$1.08m ($1.09), 81% of which were at fixed interest rates.

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.
