CapitaLand Ascott holds DPS at 6.10 cents amidst 11% income rise

Income available for distribution increased to $256.7m during the period.

CapitaLand Ascott Trust declared a distribution per stapled security (DPS) of 6.10 cents for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 (FY 2025), remaining unchanged from the previous year.

Income available for distribution to stapled securityholders rose 11% year-on-year (YoY)to $256.7m, according to the group’s press release.

Total distribution amounted to $233.5m, after the trust retained $23.2m of non-periodic items for asset enhancement initiatives and working capital purposes.

For the six months ended 31 December 2025, DPS increased 1%YoY to 3.58 cents, with payment scheduled for 27 February this year.

Meanwhile, gross profit for FY2025 rose 4% to $385.3m, whilst revenue increased 3% to $837.6m.

Stronger operations and asset enhancements helped offset currency weakness and higher property taxes in FY2024 and FY2025, the trust said.

On a same-store basis, excluding acquisitions and divestments, revenue and gross profit grew 3% and 1% respectively.

Revenue per available unit went up 3% to $161, supported by higher average occupancy rates. Portfolio valuation increased 1.7% to $8.9b with valuation gains recorded mainly in Japan, France and Australia.

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.
