Mapletree Logistics Trust NPI climbed 18.2% to $106.1m in Q1

The redevelopment of Mapletree Ouluo Logistics Park Phase 1 boosted income growth.

Mapletree Logistics Trust (MLT) opened the year on a strong financial footing after Q1 FY 19/20 net property income (NPI) rose 18.2% YoY to $106.1m from $89.8m.

Gross revenue also increased by 13.6% to $119.81m from $105.44 over the same period, whilst its distribution per unit (DPU) also went up by 3.5% to $0.02 cents.

The company attributed the income growth to the completed redevelopment of Mapletree Ouluo Logistics Park Phase 1 and acquisitions in Singapore, Australia, South Korea and Vietnam, all of which were completed during the last fiscal year.

However, growth in revenue was offset by the absence of revenue from five completed divestments completed in Q1 and two divestments completed in FY 18/19 along with the weaker Australian Dollar, Chinese Renminbi and Korean Won.

Following the sale of five properties in Japan, MPL’s portfolio stands at 137 properties with a total value of assets under management (AUM) of $7.9b as of June 30. Portfolio occupancy decreased to 97.6% as of June 30 from 98% in the previous quarter, reflecting lower occupancy rates in Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea.

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.
