CCT distributable income up 11% to $59.9 in 3Q12

Higher revenues, interest income drove uptick.

Gross revenue of S$95.5 million for 3Q 2012 was 7.0% higher than that for 3Q 2011. The increase was mainly from revenue contribution by Twenty Anson, higher revenue from HSBC Building, Capital Tower, Golden Shoe Car Park, Bugis Village and higher yield protection income for One George Street.

However, the increase was offset by lower revenue from Six Battery Road, Raffles City (CCT’s 60% interest), Wilkie Edge and the marginal loss of revenue due to the development of CapitaGreen.

Property tax in 3Q 2012 of S$5.6 million was S$0.7 million or 11.0% lower compared with 3Q 2011 due to vacancy refund and successful appeal of annual value assessment for prior years. Other property operating expenses of S$12.0 million for 3Q 2012 were S$0.8 million or 7.4% higher compared with 3Q 2011. The increase in the other operating expenses was due to higher utilities, marketing expenses and maintenance costs.

Interest income of S$0.7 million for 3Q 2012 was higher than that for 3Q 2011 by S$0.2 million or 40.6% due to the interest income from shareholder’s loan to MSO Trust of S$0.5 million (CCT’s 40.0% interest), offset by decrease in interest income of S$0.3 million earned from cash balance of CCT Group.

Amortisation expense relates to the amortisation of the yield stabilization sum from FOPL for 3Q 2012 (nil for 3Q 2011). This expense does not affect distributable income. Trust expenses was S$2.0 million for 3Q 2012 was higher as compared to S$0.2 million (credit) for 3Q 2011. The higher expenses for 3Q 2012 was due mainly to higher professional fees incurred. The S$0.2 million (credit) in 3Q 2011 was due to a reversal of S$1.0 million arising from a cost recovery by MSO Trust.

Finance costs of S$18.3 million for 3Q 2012 were 7.8% lower compared with 3Q 2011, due mainly to lower interest cost incurred as well as lower amortization and transaction costs. Premium on repurchase of convertible bonds refers to the premium on repurchase of face value of S$126.0 million in 3Q 2012 of the CB due 2013. The premium does not affect the distributable income.

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.

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
