Keppel REIT’s net property income slipped 8% in Q4 on back of Prudential Tower divestment

Gross revenue dropped 11%.

Keppel REIT reported an 8% year-on-year decline in net property income (NPI) for the first quarter, on back of lesser income from its divestment of 16-year-old Prudential Tower in the third quarter.

KREIT’s net property income stood at $34.2m in Q4, while its revenue slipped 11% year-on-year to $42.3m.

Its distribution per unit (DPU) crashed 23% year-on-year to 1.51 cents for Q4, bringing its full-year DPU to 7.23 cents, a decline of 8% compared to the previous financial year.

KREIT’s full-year NPI climbed 10% to $151.4m due to better performance of Ocean Financial Centre (OFC) and contributions from the 50% interest in 8 Exhibition Street, which was acquired in August 2013. Full-year gross revenue also rose 6% to $184.1m.

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.
