Mapletree Commercial Trust’s net profit up 13.6% on back of robust rental growth

Its raked in $41m last quarter.

Mapletree Commercial Trust reported that its net profit climbed 13.6% year-on-year to $41m, lifted by higher revenue and margins.

MCT’s distribution per unit for the third quarter grew 11.5% to 2.1 cents. Its revenue increased 6.5% to $72.9m.

According to CIMB, 84% of 84% of Vivocity’s portfolio leases expiring in FY14 have been committed, with
renewal rents 15% and 13% higher at retail and office segments, respectively, compared to their preceding leases.

“With both tenant sales and shoppers’ traffic at Vivocity flat yoy, we believe that rental growth could moderate in the future, coming largely from tenant remixing and AEIs set to contribute from 2HFY3/16 onwards. We increase our FY15-17 DPUs by 0.7-2.3% and DDM-based target price by 2.7% to account for the higher NPI margins,” stated CIMB.

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.
