Higher interest costs keep CDLHT's DPS flat despite NPI growth

NPI grew 5.9% in H1 2024.

CDL Hospitality Trusts' (CDLHT) distribution to stapled security holders (DPS) remained unchanged in H1 2024 despite recording higher net property income (NPI).

In H1 2024, the trust’s NPI was $66.5m, up 5.9% YoY. CDLHT said higher interest costs affected its DPS for the period.

Meanwhile, the trust attributed the increase in its NPI to revenue per available room (RevPAR) growth in most of its markets.

In Singapore, its core market, RevPAR rose 7.7% YoY to $193.

Only its New Zealand market reported a lower RevPAR in H1 2024.

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.
