Suntec REIT's NPI up 3.2% to $58.36m in Q3

Revenue from Suntec City and contributions from 55 Currie Street boosted its growth.

Suntec REIT's net property income (NPI) rose 3.2% YoY to $58.36m in Q3 2019, the company announced. Its gross revenue for the period likewise climbed 3.5% to $91.94m.

The growth was attributed to higher revenue from Suntec City by $2.6m as well as the $900,000 contribution from 55 Currie Street acquired on 10 September, but was offset by lower revenue from Suntec Singapore by $400,000.

Distributable income for the quarter dipped 0.4% to $66.24m, with distribution per unit slipping 5.1% to 2.365 cents. This was attributed to the $3.5m lower capital distribution.

For 9M 2019, NPI fell 4.1% YoY to $172.92m whilst gross revenue remained virtually unchanged at $270.01m.

Net financing costs for the quarter grew $2.5m to $21m mainly from additional borrowings for progressive payments for Olderfleet, 477 Collins Street, higher interest rates and additional interest rate hedges. The all-in financing cost was 3.01% per annum for the quarter and the aggregate leverage ratio was 38.2% as of 30 September.

The REIT’s overall committed occupancy stood at 99% in Singapore and 97.8% in Australia by 30 September. It expects its Singapore office portfolio to perform well due to its positive rent reversions for six consecutive quarters.

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.
