CapitaLand Ascott Trust's profit up 15% YoY in 1Q24

The REIT attributed the increase to stronger operating performance.

CapitaLand Ascott Trust (CLAS) saw its gross profit rise by 15% YoY in 1Q24 amidst stronger operating performance and contributions from new properties.

In 1Q24, CLAS acquired one property, the Teriha Ocean Stage, in Fukuoka, Japan.

Excluding acquisitions and divestments between 1Q23 and 1Q224, gross profit would have risen by only 7% YoY.

CLAS divested five properties in 1Q24 alone, including the Courtyard by Marriott Sydney-North Ryde in Australia and Citadines Mount Sophia Singapore.

More than half (64%) of CLAS' gross profit in 1Q24 came from its stable income resources, whilst the remaining 36% came from its growth income sources.

CLAS attributed the higher proportion of its stable income to the first quarter being a seasonally softer quarter for transient travel.

Meanwhile, the REIT also recorded a 6% YoY higher Revenue per Available Room (RevPAU) due to higher room rates.

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.
