OUEHT’s Q4 net property income climbs 7% to $28.8m

Thanks to Crowne Plaza Changi Airport’s contributions.

OUE Hospitality Trust (OUEHT) closed the last quarter of 2015 with a net property income (NPI) of $28.8m. This reflects a 7% climb from 4Q14’s NPI, and is thanks to contributions from Crowne Plaza Changi Airport (CPCA), which was acquired in January 2015.

According to a report by OCBC, although gross revenue climbed 8.6% YoY to $33m, DPU tumbled 4.5% to 1.70 S cents due to a larger unit base.

For FY15, OUEHT’s gross revenue rose 7.5% to $124.6m, while DPU of 6.55 S cents reflected a 2.8% pullback.

Meanwhile, Mandarin Orchard Singapore recorded a 3.7% YoY slide in revenue per available room (RevPAR) to $236, while RevPAR for CPCA Hotel dipped to $242 from $250.

On the retail front, the average rental reversion figure for leases signed continued to wane as it stood at 2.4% in 4Q15 (versus 6% in 3Q15), despite passing rents for Mandarin Gallery inching up to $24.60 psf per month from $23.60 psf per month.

OCBC notes that looking ahead, the industry prospects remain challenging given the muted macroeconomic environment and competitive pressures from an anticipated spike in new hotel rooms supply.

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.
