Elite UK REIT's NPI falls 4.7% YoY to £18.7m on vacancy costs

The REIT's lower NPI led to a 1.7% YoY drop in unitholder distribution.

Elite UK REIT reported a 4.7% year-on-year decrease in net property income (NPI) to £18.7m ($31.56m) in H1 2024, primarily due to increased vacancy holding costs resulting from timing issues.

With lower NPI, the REIT declared a 1.7% YoY lower distribution to unitholders of £9.2m ($15.5m).

Given its enlarged equity base from its £28.0m ($47.3m) preferential offering that concluded on 18 January 2024, the REIT also recorded a 2.1% YoY lower distribution per unit (DPU) of £0.0140 ($0.024).

Meanwhile, the REIT reported a 0.6% YoY decline in revenue to £18.6m ($31.4m), driven by a reduced asset base, though partially offset by rent escalations in April 2023.

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.
