Daiwa House Logistics Trust NPI down 8% YoY in H1 2024

Gross rental income also decreased by 9.3%.

Daiwa House Logistics Trust (DHLT) registered a net property income (NPI) of $21.2m in the first half of 2024, an 8% contraction year-on-year (YoY). This was attributable to the weaker Japanese Yen. 

The company's gross revenue, likewise, fell 10.7% YoY to $27.6m, resulting from lower rental given the lower occupancy and lower utilities recoverable income but partially offset by rental income contributed by the new acquisition, DPL Ibaraki Yuki.

Due to a weaker Japanese yen against the Singapore dollar, distributable income decreased by 5.7% year-on-year, resulting in a distribution of $0.245 per unit.

DHLT expects demand for logistics facilities to remain healthy, driven by growth in Japanese e-commerce and third-party logistics markets, limited logistics facilities, reshoring of manufacturing facilities, and restriction on truck drivers’ overtime which may drive demand for transition locations.

The REIT also expects demand for logistics facilities to grow in Vietnam due to the growth of e-commerce and the growing middle class.

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.
