Starhill Global REIT DPU down 6.6%, NPI up 1.3%

The DPU drop resulted from weaker currencies, higher costs and taxes, and a leasing fee.

Starhill Global REIT’s distribution per unit (DPU) for H2 FY23/24 stood at $0.0185, down 6.6% from a year ago.

The decrease was due to weaker foreign currencies, higher net finance costs and taxes, and the one-off leasing commission fee for the lease renewal with Toshin Development Singapore at Ngee Ann City.

Income available for distribution also fell, dropping 5.7% YoY. The manager will retain $0.9m of income available for distribution for 2H FY23/24 for working capital requirements.

On the flip side, the REIT’s net property income rose slightly by 1.3% to $74.5m from $73.6m in H2 FY22/23.

The REIT’s manager said the increase is mainly attributed to the Singapore properties, partially offset by net movement in foreign currencies.

Revenue for the period also rose 2.3% YoY to $95.2m, whilst portfolio valuation remained stable at $2.8b.

Meanwhile, the REIT maintained a stable 97.7% occupancy rate as of 30 June, with 99.2% occupancy in Singapore properties.

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.
