Keppel REIT distributable income up 3.4% to $165m

The REIT promised to distribute an additional $100m over the next 5 years.

Keppel REIT’s distributable income for the first nine months of 2022 jumped to $165.4m, 3.4% higher compared to the same period last year, according to its latest bourse filing.

The increase was mainly driven by the acquisition of Keppel Bay Tower in May 2021, adjustments of income tax expense for previous years, the REIT reported. This was partially offset by the divestment of 275 George Street in Brisbane in July 2021 and lower contribution from 8 Chifley Square.

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.
