CapitaLand Retail China Trust hit by Beijing tax provision

Its DPU dropped 10.6% YoY to 2.36 cents.

CapitaLand Retail China Trust’s (CRCT) 3Q16 results were impacted by a stronger SGD against RMB as well as an additional tax provision for its Beijing assets, noted OCBC Investment Research.

3Q net property income (NPI) in RMB terms was 0.6% higher YoY at RMB 161.3m while NPI in SGD terms fell 6.9% YoY to S$35.8m. 3Q.

DPU dropped 10.6% YoY to 2.36 S cents. OCBC Investment Research said that this accounts 21.6% of its initial FY16 forecast, which is marginally below its expectations.

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.
