Mapletree Industrial Trust's NPI grew 14% to $81.91m in Q3 2019

Improved occupancy from its business park buildings drove growth.

Mapletree Industrial Trust's (MIT) net property income (NPI) rose 14% YoY to $81.91m in Q3 FY2019-2020, from $71.88m in Q3 FY2018-2019, the company announced. Gross revenue grew 9.7% to $102.61m over the same period.

The growth was driven by improved occupancy for its business park buildings, full quarter contribution from 7 Tai Seng Drive, as well as lower property maintenance expenses and marketing commission.

The average occupancy of its portfolio edged up to 90.9%, from 90.5% in the preceding quarter, as the occupancy of its Singapore portfolio occupancy improved from 90.2% to 90.5% driven by its hi-tech buildings and business park buildings segments.

For YTD FY2019-2020, its gross revenue expanded 9.7% to $304.1m, whilst NPI jumped 13.2% to $239.8m.

The amount available for distribution for the quarter climbed 9.3% to $69.4m, translating to a distribution per unit (DPU) of 3.16 cents.

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.
