CapitaLand Mall Trust's NPI up 13.1% to $558.22m in 2019

The acquisition of Infinity Mall Trust was its main revenue driver.

CapitaLand Mall Trust’s (CMT) net property income (NPI) jumped 13.1% YoY to $558.22m in FY2019 from $493.55m in the previous year, an announcement revealed.

Distributable income also rose 7.5% YoY to $441.60m from $410.7m in FY2018. Distribution per unit (DPU) in FY2019 was at 11.97 cents, which is 4.1% YoY higher than the 11.50 cents in the previous year.

Gross revenue edged up 12.8% YoY to $786.74m over the same period, due to a boost from the acquisition of 70% of the units in Infinity Mall Trust last November 2018. Westgate also contributed $74.9m and Funan accounted for $28.5m of the total gross revenue. This was partially offset by lower gross revenue from the divestment of Sembawang Shopping Centre last June 2018.

Excluding Westgate, Funan and SSC’s gross revenues were higher in FY2019 than in FY2018, mainly due to higher gross rental and other income.

On a quarterly basis, CMT’s NPI grew 13.1% YoY to $140.7m in Q4 2019 from $124.4m in 2018. Distributable income inched up 6% YoY to $114.6m over the same period, whilst DPU hit 3.11 cents.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
