PLife REIT Q1 DPU rises 15.1% on higher SG hospital rents

However, gross revenue fell 2.1% due to yen depreciation and Japan nursing home exits.

Parkway Life REIT (PLife REIT) posted a 15.1% increase in distribution per unit to 4.42 cents for the first quarter of 2026.

Distributable income rose 15.1% to $28.8m, supported by Singapore hospitals following the end of rent rebates and the implementation of a revised rent formula.

The group expects minimum rent to rise to $99.1m in FY2026, up 24.3% from FY2025, driven by CPI-linked rent adjustments for its Singapore hospital portfolio.

Meanwhile, gross revenue fell 2.1% year-on-year to $38.2m due to yen depreciation and lower rental income from its Japan portfolio following a tenant exit affecting five nursing homes.

The decline was partially offset by contributions from its Singapore assets, the company said in a bourse filing.

Net property income also declined 2.7% to $35.8m over the same period.

PLife REIT’s portfolio stood at about $2.57b as at end-March, comprising 74 properties,

During the quarter, it completed a $350m capital expenditure programme for Mount Elizabeth Hospital, issued a $70m five-year green bond at 2.103% and secured a $70.9m (JPY8.8b) social loan.

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.
