DHLT’s nine-month distributable income falls 8.4% to $23.4m

Higher interest costs offset NPI growth from its Vietnam asset.

Daiwa House Logistics Trust (DHLT) posted an 8.4% decline in distributable income to $23.4m (¥ 2.79b) in the first nine months, as higher interest expenses offset a 3.3% rise in net property income (NPI) to $ 33.7m (¥ 4.01b).

The increase in NPI was driven by the first full-year contribution from the Vietnam property Tan Duc 2.

Aggregate leverage stood at 41.2%, with 99.3% of borrowings on fixed rates and a weighted average cost of 1.69%. DHLT is refinancing a $84m (¥ 10b) loan due November 2025, expected to extend its average debt tenor to 3.1 years from 2. The interest coverage ratio was 6.0 times, above the regulatory minimum.

Over 95% of assets by valuation are green-certified, with 13 properties equipped with solar panels generating 18.6 MWp. The portfolio’s concentration in Japan and Vietnam continues to support stable long-term cash flow visibility.

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.
