CapitaLand Malaysia Trust NPI surges 42.6% YoY in 2023

Its gross revenue also saw a 43.4% increase during the period.

CapitaLand Malaysia Trust (CLMT) reported a solid net property income growth of 42.6% year-on-year (YoY) to reach $61.6m (RM217.4m), boosted by revenue contributions from Queensbay Mall and stronger performance of its existing portfolio.

In a disclosure, CLMT said its gross revenue grew 43.4% to around $111.2m (RM392.4m), with a portfolio valuation of $1.4b (RM5b).

“This resilient performance is a testament to the quality of CLMT’s portfolio despite challenges in the retail environment such as rising costs, uncertainties in the interest rate environment and the influx of new shopping malls in Klang Valley,” said Lui Chong Chee, chairman of CapitaLand Malaysia REIT Management (CMRM).

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.
