PLife REIT Q1 DPU rises 15.1% on higher SG hospital rents

However, gross revenue fell 2.1% due to yen depreciation and Japan nursing home exits.

Parkway Life REIT (PLife REIT) posted a 15.1% increase in distribution per unit to 4.42 cents for the first quarter of 2026.

Distributable income rose 15.1% to $28.8m, supported by Singapore hospitals following the end of rent rebates and the implementation of a revised rent formula.

The group expects minimum rent to rise to $99.1m in FY2026, up 24.3% from FY2025, driven by CPI-linked rent adjustments for its Singapore hospital portfolio.

Meanwhile, gross revenue fell 2.1% year-on-year to $38.2m due to yen depreciation and lower rental income from its Japan portfolio following a tenant exit affecting five nursing homes.

The decline was partially offset by contributions from its Singapore assets, the company said in a bourse filing.

Net property income also declined 2.7% to $35.8m over the same period.

PLife REIT’s portfolio stood at about $2.57b as at end-March, comprising 74 properties,

During the quarter, it completed a $350m capital expenditure programme for Mount Elizabeth Hospital, issued a $70m five-year green bond at 2.103% and secured a $70.9m (JPY8.8b) social loan.

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.
