PLife REIT H1 DPU rises 14.6% on higher SG hospital contributions

However, NPI dipped 2% on yen weakness and a tenant exit in Japan. 

Parkway Life REIT’s distribution per unit rose 14.6% year-on-year to 8.77 cents in the first half of 2026 (H1), up from 7.65 cents a year earlier.

Distributable income grew by the same rate to $57.2m from $49.9m, according to a bourse filing. 

The increase was attributed to higher rental contributions under the Singapore hospitals’ annual rent review formula and step-up lease arrangements in France.

The Singapore hospitals portfolio recorded a $0.8m revenue-sharing uplift for the first quarter after stronger operating performance at Gleneagles Hospital and Parkway East Hospital. 

The amount was not included in the first-half distribution and will be distributed in the second half together with any full-year revenue-sharing entitlement, where applicable, the REIT’s manager, Parkway Trust Management Limited, said.

Distributable income also benefited from the absence of a $0.9m tax provision booked for the France portfolio in the corresponding period last year. 

However, H1 gross revenue decreased 1.6% to $77.1m, whilst net property income fell 2% to $72.4m.

The manager attributed the decline to the depreciation of the Japanese yen and lower rental income following a tenant’s exit from five nursing home properties in Japan. 

Separately, Parkway Life REIT completed the sale of a Japanese nursing home for approximately $9.4m on 30 June. The sale generated a gain of about $0.6m.

The divestment price was 38% above the property’s acquisition cost and 5% higher than its latest independent valuation.

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.
