CapitaLand distributable income up 5.5% in 2Q

It rose to S$79.6M from just S$75.5 million for the same period in 2011 partly thanks to JCube.

Distribution per unit (DPU) for 2Q 2012 was 2.38 cents, 0.8% higher than the 2.36 cents for 2Q 2011.
This brings CMT’s DPU to 4.68 cents for First Half 2012 (1H 2012), exceeding the First Half 2011
(1H 2011) DPU of 4.65 cents by 0.6%.


Unitholders can expect to receive their 2Q 2012 DPU on 29 August 2012. This translates to an
annualised distribution yield of 4.92% based on CMT’s closing price of S$1.945 per unit on 17 July
2012. The Books Closure Date is on 26 July 2012.

Mr James Koh Cher Siang, Chairman of CMTML, said, “We are pleased that CMT has delivered a
good set of results for 2Q 2012. JCube which opened in April and the higher rental rates achieved
from the portfolio’s new and renewed leases were significant contributors to the revenue growth.
Although concerns over the global economic situation have deepened in the second quarter,
Singapore’s low unemployment rate and Singapore Tourism Board’s forecast record of tourist
arrivals this year are expected to continue to support retail spending.”

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.
