Suntec REIT’s distributable income drops 26.8% YoY to $50.3m in 1Q23

Given the drop, it recorded a 27.4% YoY lower DPU to unitholders.

Suntec REIT posted a 26.8% YoY lower distributable income of $50.3m for the period of 1 January to 31 March (1Q23), data from its latest business update showed.

With a lower distributable income, the REIT also recorded a 27.4% YoY lower distribution per unit (DPU) to unitholders of $0.01737.

In a bourse filing, the REIT attributed the decline in distributable income to higher financing costs and a weaker Australian dollar and Pound Sterling against the Singapore dollar.

“Looking forward, our operating performance is expected to continue to improve but the interest rate and energy cost are likely to remain high which will impact our distribution for the year,” Chong Kee Hiong, CEO of the REIT’s manager, said.

“To cushion the impact, we will continue with the distribution of the remaining capital top-up for 2023 to provide some support to unitholders in these tough times. We are also actively looking at the potential divestment of our mature assets to unlock value and improve our balance sheet,” Chong added.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
