Far East Hospitality Trust’s distribution yield to improve by 5.7% in 2023: UOB KayHian

Reopening borders and hotel contracts will improve distribution yield.

The distribution yield of Far East Hospitality Trust (FEHT), a real estate investment trust, could improve by 5.7% in 2023, triggered by rapid opening of international borders last month as well as redeployed hotel contracts, investment banking firm, UOB KayHian, said.

In its report, UOB KayHian bared that there are three hotels under government contracts that were redeployed, which will serve business and leisure travellers in the first quarter of 2022 (Q1 2022).

UOB KayHian also reported hotel stability from fixed rents and an unchanged hotel revenue at $14.3m.

However, occupancy for hotels went down 8.2 percentage points, on a yearly basis, to 67.7% in Q1 2022 which stemmed from the ending of government contracts of three hotels, which will be used for isolation purposes. These hotels are Village Hotel Albert Court, Quincy Hotel and Elizabeth Hotel.

To date, FEHT has only three out of its nine hotels on government contracts whilst the remaining three government contracts were extended by two to three months until the middle of 2022.

UOB KayHian outlook on FEHT

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.
