SPH REIT's NPI jumped 18.1% to $103.5m in H1

The recently acquired shopping centres contributed to the trust’s growth.

SPH REIT's net property income (NPI) grew 18.1% YoY to $103.5m in H1 2020, from $87.64m in H1 2019, the company announced. Gross revenue rose 19.2% to $133.41m over the same period.

In Q2, NPI jumped 23.3% YoY to $56.53m, whilst revenue leapt 26.1% to $73.27m. This was mainly attributed to a climb in rental income from Paragon and contributions from the recently acquired Figtree Grove Shopping Centre and Westfield Marion Shopping Centre.

Paragon and The Clementi recorded NPI growth of $1.3m and $0.2m, respectively, whilst The Rail Mall’s NPI remained flat. Figtree Grove’s NPI edged up $700,000 and Westfield Marion contributed $8.4m.

At the same time, acquisitions resulted in property operating expenses expanding 36.4% to $16.7m during the quarter.

Distribution to unitholders plunged 77.3% YoY to $8.27m in Q2, whilst distribution per unit (DPU) plummeted 78.7% to $0.003, in light of the challenges arising from the pandemic in the months ahead.

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.
