AIMS APAC REIT's net income soars 16.6% YoY to $55.48m

Despite the income growth, the REIT's DPU still decreased by 4.8% YoY.

AIMS APAC REIT (AA REIT) saw its net income soar by 16.6% in 2H FY2022, reaching $55.48m.

Despite the income growth, the REIT's Distributions to Unitholders and distribution per unit (DPU) still declined in the same period, with the former dropping by 3.8% to $33.64m and the latter declining by 4.8% to $0.0471.

The REIT's manager said the decline in DPU and Distributions to Unitholders was largely due to the distributions related to the $250.0m perpetual securities issued on 1 September 2021 for the acquisition of Woolworths HQ.

Looking at the full-year figures, however, DPU and  Distributions to Unitholders both rose by 5.7% to $0.0946 and by 6.3% to $67.25m, respectively. The increase was on the back of a  17.9% higher full-year net income of $103.19m. 

The improvement in the REIT's full-year performance was mainly due to contributions from the recently acquired
Woolworths HQ in November 2021, a full-year contribution from 7 Bulim Street acquired in October 2020, as well as higher rental and recoveries at 20 Gul Way, 8 & 10 Pandan Crescent, 29 Woodlands Industrial Park, and 541 Yishun Industrial Park A.

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.
