CDLHT NPI surges 23.3% in H1

The group’s revenue reached $119.2m for the half year.

CDL Hospitality Trusts’ net property income (NPI) climbed by 23.3% to $62.9m YoY in the first half of 2023 whilst its revenue increased by 20.9% YoY to $119.2m for the same period.

The group attributed the increase in its NPI to its market in Singapore, Japan, Australia, Europe, and the UK, which increased by $17.2m YoY. This includes higher NPI from Claymore Connect and a full six months NPI recognition from Hotel Brooklyn (acquired on 22 February 2022), which increased by 94.4% and 35.5% YoY to $2.8m and $2m in H1 2023 respectively.

The increases were partially offset by lower NPI from the New Zealand and Maldives markets, which dropped by $5.3m YoY.

CDLHT reported that interest costs for H1 2023 increased by 71.4% or $8.3m YoY, mainly due to higher funding costs on the Group’s floating rate loans and fixed rate loans re-financed at higher rates.

For the first half of the year, CDLHT also completed the refinancing of a $120m term loan into a 5-year sustainability-linked term loan and concurrently entered into an interest rate swap to partially hedge against the interest rate volatility.

Dividends per share was $2.51 cents, an increase of 23% YoY.

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.
