CDL Hospitality Trust's NPI dipped 3.3% to $141.16m in 2019

It saw full-quarter contributions from its rebranded Raffles Maldives Meradhoo.

CDL Hospitality Trust's (CDLHT) net property income (NPI) declined 3.3% YoY to $141.16m in FY 2019, the company announced. Revenue fell 2.4% to $196.87m over the same period.

In Q4, NPI dipped 1.2% YoY to $37.97m, whilst revenue climbed 3.2% to $53.98m. Full-quarter contributions from the rebranded Raffles Maldives Meradhoo resort ($2.6m) and the Italy Hotel ($300,000), as well as higher contribution from its Singapore hotels ($1.2m), boosted the total portfolio income.

However, revenue growth was offset by lower contribution from the rest of the group’s properties, which posted a collective YoY decline of $2.4m, largely from the expected reduced income from Pullman Hotel Munich.

The trust’s Singapore hotels saw its revenue per available room (RevPAR) grow 5.1% YoY for the quarter, its strongest since 2012.

Its hotels in New Zealand and Italy posted a marginal RevPAR growth of 0.5% and 2.6%, respectively. However, RevPAR declines were recorded for its hotels in Japan (14.4%), UK (3.7%) and Germany (10.2%).

CDLHT’s total distribution edged up 0.6% to $33.6m for the quarter, translating to a relatively unchanged DPS of 2.77 cents.

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.
