Mapletree Logistics DPU up 3.33% in 1Q 2011

DPU of 1.55 S-cents is flat q-o-q despite the y-o-y growth, said OCBC Investment Research.

According to OCBC Investment Research's report, Mapletree Logistics Trust gross revenue for 1Q 2011 was $62.2 million. This was up 21.1% y-o-y and 2% q-o-q.

The yearly increase was mainly due to contributions from the 14 properties acquired in Singapore, Japan, Korea and Vietnam last year.

The two acquisitions announced in March 2011 were only completed towards the end of 1Q 2011 and as such, the full effect of the income contributions will only be reflected from 2Q 2011.

Distributable income of $37.5 million was up 21.7% y-o-y and 1.9% q-o-q. The 1.55 S-cents DPU represents an annualized yield of 6.9%.

As at 31 March 2011, MLT recorded portfolio occupancy of 98.3%, compared with 98.0% in 4Q 2010, boosted largely by Singapore, Hong Kong and China. 1Q 2011 saw the occupancy rate of Malaysia fall from 99.2% to 96.3%.

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.
