Suntec REIT Q1 net property income up 1.9% to $62.99m

It was boosted by higher revenue from Suntec Singapore and Suntec City Mall.

Suntec REIT's Q2 net property income (NPI) grew 1.9% YoY to $62.99m, whilst its gross revenue rose 2.6% YoY to $90.7m. OCBC Investment Research analyst Andy Wong Teck Ching said, “Growth was underpinned by higher revenue from Suntec Singapore and an increase in retail revenue from Suntec City mall, but partially offset by weaker office revenue.”

Distribution per unit (DPU) was flat (+0.3% YoY) at 2.43 cents but was once again boosted by a higher distribution from capital of $6.5m (1Q2017: $3m).

Overall portfolio occupancy was firm for its office (99.1%) and retail (98.4%) segments. Average rents of $9.02 psf/month and $8.95 psf/month were secured for its Singapore office portfolio and Suntec City office, respectively.

Wong noted that this was a robust 6.1% and 11.5% QoQ increase, respectively, reversing two consecutive quarters of decline.

“On the retail front, operating metrics for Suntec City Mall were also bright,” Wong added. Footfall rose 12.7% YoY and tenants’ sales psf improved 5.2% YoY.

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.
