Divestments hurt CapitaCommercial Trust

Gross revenue fell 9.2% after dropping Robinson Point and Starhub Centre.

OCBC Investment Research noted:

For 2Q11, CapitaCommercial Trust (CCT) reported a distributable income of S$54.4m or an estimated DPU of 1.92 S cents, bringing the total distribution for 1H11 to 3.77 S cents. Given the current unit price of S$1.46, this translates to an annualized distribution yield of 5.2%. Relative to 2Q10, we saw a 2.5% dip in distributable income. In addition, gross revenue also fell 9.2% on a YoY basis to S$91m. These dips are mainly due to the absence of contributions from Robinson Point and Starhub Centre which were divested in Apr and Sep last year, respectively. Continued asset enhancement works at Six Battery Road also resulted in lower occupancy rates this year. Management indicates that current signing rents are still below levels for expiring leases and expects to see negative rental reversion continue this year.

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.
