Mapletree Logistics Trust's DPU declines 2.5% YoY in 4Q23/24 despite higher NPI

NPI for the period was 0.6% YoY higher.

Mapletree Logistics Trust (MLT) reported a 2.5% YoY lower available distribution per unit (DPU) of $0.02211 in 4QFY23/24 despite higher net property income (NPI) and amount distributable to unitholders.

The REIT, however, underscored that the lower DPU was due to an enlarged unit base.

In 4QFY23/24, NPI was $155.3m, up 0.6% YoY, whilst the amount distributable to unitholders rose 1.1% YoY to $110.4m.

MLT attributed the growth in its NPI to higher contributions from existing properties and contributions from the acquisitions completed during the year.

The weaker performance in China and the absence of revenue from divested properties partially offset its NPI growth. 

The depreciation of various currencies against the Singapore Dollar, primarily the Japanese Yen, Chinese Yuan, Malaysian Ringgit and South Korean Won, also weighed on its NPI growth.
