Mapletree Logistics' Q3 net property income up 7.7% to $79.9m

Thanks to acquisitions in Australia, Malaysia, and Vietnam.

Mapletree Logistics Trust recorded a 7.7% uptick in its net property income in the quarter ending in December at $79.9m. Its gross revenue recorded a 7.4% increase to $95.5m in the same period.

"Growth was underpinned largely by income from four acquisitions in Australia, Malaysia and Vietnam, the contribution from properties which have completed their redevelopment, and higher revenue from existing properties in Hong Kong," OCBC Investment Research said.

However, MLT's distribution per unit came in flat YoY at 1.87 Singapore cents due to higher management fees, borrowing costs, distribution to perpetual securities holders and an enlarged unit base.

Operationally, MLT’s occupancy was slightly lower from 96.4% as of September last year to 96.1%, while positive average rental reversions of 2% were achieved. This ranged from 1% in Singapore and Vietnam; and to 4% in Hong Kong and China.

"Looking ahead, management expects the leasing environment to remain challenging, with continued pressure on occupancy and rental rates," OCBC noted.

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.
