Keppel REIT's NPI rose 15.3% to $36.24m in Q4

Thanks to higher income from Bugis Junction Towers and Ocean Financial Centre.

Keppel REIT's net property income (NPI) rose 15.3% YoY from $31.42m to $36.24m in Q4.

According to a financial statement, the favourable variances were mainly attributable to higher property income from Bugis Junction Towers and Ocean Financial Centre.

Keppel REIT also saw improved results from joint ventures, higher interest income, and higher fair value gain on investment properties.

Property expenses dipped by 5.3% to $8.13m.

However, distributable income (DI) dipped by 1.1% YoY to $48.2m. Distribution per unit (DPU) also fell 3.4% from 1.48 cents to 1.43 cents.

The gains were partially offset by lower rental support, lower share of results of associates, higher borrowing costs, net foreign exchange differences, as well as net change in fair value of derivatives.

For the full year, NPI rose by 2.2% YoY to $131.2m, whilst DPU slumped 10.5% YoY to 5.7 cents.

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.
