Higher interest costs keep CDLHT's DPS flat despite NPI growth

NPI grew 5.9% in H1 2024.

CDL Hospitality Trusts' (CDLHT) distribution to stapled security holders (DPS) remained unchanged in H1 2024 despite recording higher net property income (NPI).

In H1 2024, the trust’s NPI was $66.5m, up 5.9% YoY. CDLHT said higher interest costs affected its DPS for the period.

Meanwhile, the trust attributed the increase in its NPI to revenue per available room (RevPAR) growth in most of its markets.

In Singapore, its core market, RevPAR rose 7.7% YoY to $193.

Only its New Zealand market reported a lower RevPAR in H1 2024.

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.
