Keppel Pacific Oak US REIT distributable income drops 16.2% in H1

No distribution was declared for the period.

Keppel Pacific Oak US REIT (KORE) reported a 16.2% year-on-year decline in income available for distribution to $25.6m (US$19.9m) for the first half of 2025.

No distribution was declared, in line with the REIT’s ongoing two-year suspension of payouts under its Recapitalisation Plan announced in February 2024.

Under this plan, distributions have been temporarily suspended from the second half of 2023 through the distribution that would typically be paid in the first half of 2026. The suspension aims to address capital requirements and manage leverage, although the manager has indicated distributions could resume earlier depending on market conditions.

Meanwhile, net property income (NPI) for the period also fell 3.2% to $52.37m (US$40.7m), mainly due to higher repair and maintenance costs and amortisation of leasing commissions, partially offset by lower property tax.

As at 30 June, KORE’s aggregate leverage stood at 43.7% with an interest coverage ratio of 2.5 times.

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.
