MPACT's NPI slips 2.2% in Q2
VivoCity’s full occupancy and rental gains offset weaker overseas income.
Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust (MPACT) reported its net property income fell 2.2% year on year to $163.9m in the second quarter of financial year 2025/26.
The company's revenue also declined by 3.2% year on year to $218.5m, which it largely attributed to lower overseas contributions and te absence of full period contributions from TS Ikebukuro Building and ABAS Shin-Yokohama Building.
The Singapore portfolio remained the trust’s key driver, led by VivoCity, which maintained full occupancy and higher rental rates. Overall portfolio occupancy stood at 88.9%.
MPACT said its aggregate leverage ratio improved to 37.6%, whilst the average cost of debt eased to 3.23%, supported by refinancing and lower interest expenses.
Chief Executive Officer Sharon Lim said the trust’s steady domestic operations and disciplined capital management underpinned the results. Unitholders will receive the 2.01-cent distribution on 4 December, with books closing on 30 October.
