Starhill Global REIT net property income up 2.2%; DPU is 1.98 cents for H2

Gross revenue rose 0.7% to S$187.8m in FY2022/23.

Starhill Global REIT (SGREIT) saw its net property income (NPI) rise to S$147.8m for the fiscal year 2022/23 ended 30 June. This is a 2.2% increase from the S$144.7m for FY2021/22, according to its latest financial statement.

In a bourse filing by its manager YTL Starhill Global, SGREIT attributed the rise to completion of asset enhancement works at The Starhill and lower rental assistance, offsetting foreign exchange weakness and loss of income from divestment.

Distribution per unit (DPU) to unitholders for H2 is 1.98 cents, 2% lower from H2 FY2021/22. For the whole year, DPU is 3.8 cents, representing a 7.4% annual yield based on the closing unit price of S$0.515 as of 30 June 2023.

DPU will be distributed in cash on 29 August 2023.

Gross revenue rose 0.7% to S$187.8m in FY 2022/23, from S$186.4m previously.

NPI for the last six months of the fiscal year– January to June 2023– was S$73.6m, which is lower compared to the second half of FY21/22. YTL Starhill Global said that this was mainly due to net movement in foreign currencies and divestment of Daikanyama.

YTL Starhill said that it will retain S$0.7m of income available for distribution for working capital needs.

Overall, SGREIT’s total portfolio valuation is S$2.8b as of 30 June, a 4.3% decrease from last year, mainly due to a downward revaluation of its Australia properties and Wisma Atria Property, the divestment of Daikanyama, and net movement in foreign currencies.

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.
