Mapletree revises DPU forecast ahead of anticipated lower occupancies in China properties

Gross revenue in the quarter dropped 7.4% YoY to $223.7m.

Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust has trimmed its distribution per unit (DPU) forecast for 2025 and 2026 by 1% due to expectations of lower occupancies for Gateway Plaza in Beijing and Sandhill Plaza in Shanghai.

The company has declared a DPU of $0.02 for the third quarter of 2024, a 9.1% year-on-year (YoY) decrease. 

Gross revenue in the quarter dropped 7.4% YoY to $223.7m, whilst net property income (NPI) also fell 8.5% YoY to $166.9m.

This primarily stemmed from the divestment of Mapletree Anson’s and lower overseas contributions further dampened by the continued strength of the Singapore dollar.

Moreover, the amount distributable to shareholders during the quarter fell 9.2% YoY to $104.7m whilst cash and cash equivalents stood at $142.7m.

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.
