CDL Hospitality Trusts Q1 NPI climbs 10.4% on strong SG and Europe performance

Singapore hotels led gains as Japan and Maldives weigh on regional performance.

CDL Hospitality Trusts reported net property income (NPI) of $33.1m for the first quarter ended 31 March, up 10.4% year on year (YoY), supported by stronger performance in Singapore and selected overseas markets with gross revenue increasing 5.9% to $67.1m over the same period.

Singapore hotels recorded a 5.9% rise in NPI, supported by higher occupancy and growth in revenue per available room (RevPAR), a 6.6% increase during the quarter. Claymore Connect posted 5.0% NPI growth driven by rental escalations.

New Zealand NPI rose 46.1% YoY, supported by convention-related demand and post-renovation improvements whilst Australia posted a 151.9% increase, reflecting stronger RevPAR and event activity, according to the company’s investment disclosure.

In Europe, Germany NPI rose 24.5%, whilst Italy more than doubled, supported by prior-year base effects and lower costs.

The UK portfolio showed mixed performance. Hotel NPI fell 13.6% due to higher payroll costs and business rates, but total UK NPI rose 17.5% when including living assets. The Castings and Benson Yard contributed $1.1m in combined NPI growth.

Japan NPI declined 10.3% amidst softer inbound demand and currency impacts, whilst the Maldives fell 26.3% due to weaker March performance and higher operating costs.

The group said Singapore hotel RevPAR growth was supported by higher occupancy and events-led demand, including the Singapore Airshow 2026.

Gearing stood at 35.3% as at 31 March 2026, with cash reserves of $78.5m. The group also increased its fixed-rate debt proportion to 66.9% during the quarter.

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.
