Mapletree Industrial Trust's property income increased 11.7% to $70.7m in 3Q2018

Revenue also went up, thanks to built-to-suit project for HP Singapore.

DBS Bank reported that Mapletree Industrial Trust (MINT)’s NPI rose by 11.7% YoY, from $63.4m in 3Q2017 to $70.9m in 3Q2018.

Further, MINT’s gross revenue increased by 8.3% YoY to $92.6m. According to DBS Bank, this was mainly due to the contribution from built-to-suit project for HP Singapore, but was partially offset by lower portfolio occupancy in 3Q2018.

“We saw negative rental reversions across the portfolio with fairly stable retention ratios of c.73.3%. Negative rental reversionary trends should be bottoming out towards 2H18-2019 as the industrial supply tapers off,” DBS Bank said.

Here’s more from DBS Bank:

The REIT also reported a partial quarter contribution from the acquisition of a 40% stake in portfolio of 14 data centers in the US boosting distributable income by 4.6% y-o-y to S$54.0m. This translates to a DPU of 2.88 Scts for the quarter, which was only 1.8% higher compared to a year ago, as a result of the enlarged share base post placement in Oct’17.

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.
