Cache Logistics DPU down 13.7% in 3Q

Margin pressure continues amidst weak property sector.

Cache Logistics Trust (CACHE) reported its 3Q16 results which fell short of expectations, said OCBC Investment Research.

Gross revenue rose 21.2% yoy to S$28.0m, but NPI increased at a slower pace of 17.5% due to continued margin pressure for its Singapore properties.

DPU slipped 13.7% YoY to 1.847S cents, attributable to higher finance costs, an enlarged unit base and a one-off capital distribution of $1.5m (0.192 S cents/unit) in 3Q15 arising from the sales proceeds of an asset disposal.

The research firm noted that even if it excludes the one-off capital distribution, CACHE’s adjusted DPU still fell 5.2% YoY in 3Q16.

On a 9M16 basis, CACHE’s gross revenue and NPI jumped 27.9% and 17.0% to S$84.0m and S$66.7m, respectively, with the latter forming 71.2% of OCBC Investment Research's FY16 forecast.

DPU of 5.875 S cents represented a decline of 8.6% (-5.9% if OCBC Investment Research excludes capital distributions) and constituted 72.3% of the research firm's full-year projection.

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.
