Elite Commercial REIT posted $15.97m NPI since listing

It saw greater profit than expected due to higher revenue and savings.

Elite Commercial REIT's net property income (NPI) hits $15.97m (£9.06m) since its listing on 6 February up to 30 June, the company announced. Revenue reached $16.43m (£9.32m) over the same period.

The REIT’s actual revenue was 0.3% higher than expected, whilst its finance costs were 7.3% lower than the forecast largely due to the decline in the benchmark rate of 3-month GBP Libor, resulting in cost savings as compared to the forecast prepared for the prospectus.

Overall, the REIT recorded a 7% greater than expected profit after tax thanks to higher revenue, savings in operating expenses, finance costs and lower than forecasted tax expenses.

This resulted in a higher distributable income of $11.46m (£6.5m) during the period, outpacing its forecast by 1.3%. Consequently, the REIT recorded a distribution per unit (DPU) of $0.0344 (1.95 pence), which was 1% higher than the forecasted figure.

Elite Commercial REIT’s distribution policy is to distribute all of its annual distributable income for the period from the listing date to 31 December 2021.

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.
