Keppel REIT's income fell 5.4% to $31.6m in 3Q

Blame it on recent sale of Sydney property.

Keppel REIT reportedlower gains in 3Q on sale of a Sydney building.

In a statement, Keppel REIT announced that its net property income dipped by 5.4% YoY to $31.6m for the three months to Sept 30 due to the absence of contributions from 77, King Street, which it sold in late January for $160m.

Consequently, the firm also posted distribution per unit (DPU) of 1.60 Singapore cents for the quarter, down from 1.70 Singapore cents in the same year-ago period.

On a positive note, other properties posted better results which help buoy the company's earnings.

Marina Bay Financial Centre, for instance, contributed $24.7m, up 33.2% from a year earlier.

Keppel REIT's net asset value per unit stood at S$1.42 as at Sept 30, 2016, lower than S$1.44 as at Dec 31, 2015.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
