Mapletree Industrial Trust distributable net property income up 11.3%

The REIT found the fiscal year challenging as tenants struggled during the pandemic.

Mapletree Industrial Trust (MIT) reported a distributable net property income of $$295.26m for the fiscal year of 2020/2021.

This is 11.3% higher than the distributable net property income of $265.33m recorded for the same period last year.

Distribution per unit has been set at 12.55 cents, 2.5% higher than in the previous financial year.

"Y20/21 was fraught with uncertainty and challenges for businesses because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We will continue to support our tenants through this uncertain period as they gradually recover from adverse global economic conditions," said MIT CEO Tham Kuo Wei in a bourse disclosure.

Average portfolio occupancy for the fourth quarter increased to 93.7% from 93.1% due to the complete acquisition of a data centre in Virginia, United States, and an improvement in the average occupancy for its Singapore portfolio.

As of March 31, the total valuation of MIT's 115 properties is at $6.76b.

MIT said its diversified and large tenant base, coupled with its low dependency on any single tenant or trade sector, will help its portfolio stay resilient as COVID-19 risks remain.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
