Sabana REIT DPU falls 24.3% to 81 cents

Poor performance from properties cut its income by 2.9%.

Sabana REIT is grappling with lower gains after it reported a 7.4% drop in net property income (NPI) for this year's Q2. The company's distribution per unit (DPU) also crashed by 24.3% to 81 S cents.

According to Sabana REIT's financial statement, company gross revenue fell by 2.9% to $22.0m for the second quarter this year.

Lower contribution from its five multi-tenant properties and the conversion of 39 Ubi Road 1 to multi-tenant lease arrangements in Q4 last year pushed the REIT's income down, the company said.

The company also had to increase its property expenses by 4.5% from last quarter due to higher maintenance expenses and higher impairment losses for properties in 6 Woodlands Loop.

The income decline was offset by lower operating expenses from its other multi-tenant and non-triple-net master tenant properties.

Sabana REIT currently has 21 properties mainly in the industrial sector.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
