Keppel REIT net property income up 0.3% to $31.31m in Q1

It was saved by higher one-off income that was offset by lower incomes from properties.

Keppel REIT’s net property income (NPI) marginally rose by 0.3% YoY from $31.22m in Q1 2018 to $31.31m in Q1 2019, according to its financial statement. Distribution per unit (DPU) fell 2.16% from $1.42 to $1.39.

Property income rose 0.7% to $40.02m, saved by higher one-off income that was offset by lower incomes from Ocean Financial Centre and Bugis Junction Towers, after excluding attributable one-off income.

Property income contributions from 275 George Street, Ocean Financial, and 8 Exhibition Street fell 4%, 1.7%, and 2.2% to $3.59m, $25.66m, and $4.70m respectively. Contributions from Bugis Junction Towers rose 19.4% to $6.07m.

“Whilst the operating performances of 275 George Street and 8 Exhibition Street have improved year-on-year, a weaker Australian dollar contributed to the decrease in property income and net property income of these properties,” the REIT added.

Share of results from associates fell 6.5% to $19.27m whilst results from joint ventures fell 8.5% to $7.17m.

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.
