Mapletree Logistics Trust's NPI up 3.9% to $108.56m in Q3

Higher contributions from properties in Australia, South Korea and Vietnam boosted income.

Mapletree Logistics Trust (MLT) saw its net property income (NPI) rose 3.9% YoY to $108.56m in Q3 2019 from $104.49m in Q3 2018, the company announced. Gross revenue edged up 0.3% to $121.15m over the same period.

NPI growth was driven by higher contributions from its existing properties and acquisitions in Australia, South Korea and Vietnam, but was countered by the absence of revenue from its divestment of five warehouses in Japan in Q1 FY19-20.

MLT’s amount distributable to unitholders grew 6.5% YoY to $76.6m for the quarter, translating to a 2.1% climb in distribution per unit (DPU) to 2.044 cents.

Over its 9M period, its NPI rose 13.8% YoY to $323.81m, whilst revenue expanded 9% to $ 362.71m.

Its portfolio occupancy also rose from 97.5% in Q2 to 97.7% in Q3, due to higher occupancy in Singapore. However, it was still slightly affected by lower occupancies in South Korea and China.

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.
