Suntec REIT's net property income rose 8.9% to $244.5m in 2017

It was boosted by higher revenue, which increased to $354.2m.

Suntec Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) reported that its NPI rose by 8.9% YoY, increasing from $224.6m to $244.5m in 2017.

Suntec REIT’s gross revenue also increased by 7.8% YoY, from $328.6m to $354.2m in 2017.

According to Suntec REIT, this was due to a 19.1% increase in office revenue amounting to $175.7m, which was partially offset by a 2.3% decrease to $78.3m.

Further, 177 Pacific Highway highly contributed to the increase in office revenue, as well as to the overall increase of 5.5% YoY to $109.7m in property expenses.

The total income contribution from joint ventures for FY17 was $89.7m, a marginal decline of 0.1%. This was mainly due to lower contribution from MBFC Properties which was offset by the full year contribution from Southgate Complex.

Net financing costs for FY17 was $75.6 million, an increase of $20.9m or 38.2% higher. This was mainly due to the cessation of the coupon earned on progress payments following the completion of 177 Pacific Highway and higher interest rates. The all-in financing cost for Suntec REIT was 2.50% for FY17.

Total distributable income for FY17 of $263m, was $9.3m or 3.7% higher. The DPU for FY17 was 10.005 cents per unit, which was in line with FY16. This includes a capital distribution of $29m or 1.098 cents per unit.

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.
