Mapletree Logistics Trust's DPU down 8.9% YoY in Q1

Net property income also decreased by $1.5m or 0.9%YoY during the same period. 

Mapletree Logistics Trust posted an 8.9% decrease in its distribution per unit (DPU) for the first quarter of FY24/25, falling to 2.068 cents from 2.271 cents in the same period last year.

The group’s property expenses rose by $1m or 3.9% primarily due to a full quarter’s contribution from acquisitions completed in FY23/24 and increased utility costs. The increase was partially offset by the depreciation of foreign currencies, particularly the Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan, against the Singapore Dollar.

It also reported a decrease in net property income for the same period, down by $1.5m or 0.9% YoY.

Additionally, borrowing costs also saw a rise, increasing by $3.3m or 9.4%. This increase was mainly due to higher average interest rates on existing debts and additional borrowings to fund acquisitions in FY23/24 and FY24/25, although it was partly offset by loan repayments funded through divestment proceeds.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
