Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust NPI up 10.7% to $85m in Q1

Higher rental incomes from Festival Walk, Gateway Plaza and Sandhill Plaza boosted revenue.

The net property income (NPI) of Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust Management (MNACTM) rose 10.7% YoY to $85m in Q1 from $76.8m in 2018, an announcement revealed. Revenues also climbed 11.1% to $104.9m from $94.4m over the same period.

Revenue growth was driven by higher rental income from Festival Walk, Gateway Plaza and Sandhill Plaza, a full quarter contribution from the Japan Properties which was acquired in 2018, as well as higher average rate of HKD offset by lower average rate of RMB.

The firm’s distribution per unit (DPU) also inched up 3.7% YoY to $0.0195 from $0.0188 in 2018.

Its Festival Walk property recorded gross revenue and NPI growth of 6.5% YoY and 6.6% YoY, respectively. However, its tenants’ sales and shopper traffic declined 3.2% and 1.8% from 1 April to 30 June over the same quarter in 2018.

Meanwhile, its office spaces in China saw weaker performances. Gross revenue and NPI of Gateway Plaza fell below Q1 2018 figures at 4.0% and 4.1%, respectively, mainly due to a lower average rate of RMB against SGD, partially mitigated by a higher average occupancy during Q1.

As for Sandhill Plaza, average rental rate during the same quarter rose from the corresponding quarter but failed to prop up gross revenue and NPI which fell by 2.4% and 2.0%

Only the company's properties in Japan saw gross revenue and NPI up to $12.6m and $9.7m, respectively.

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.
