Starhill Global REIT net property income up 2.2%; DPU is 1.98 cents for H2

Gross revenue rose 0.7% to S$187.8m in FY2022/23.

Starhill Global REIT (SGREIT) saw its net property income (NPI) rise to S$147.8m for the fiscal year 2022/23 ended 30 June. This is a 2.2% increase from the S$144.7m for FY2021/22, according to its latest financial statement.

In a bourse filing by its manager YTL Starhill Global, SGREIT attributed the rise to completion of asset enhancement works at The Starhill and lower rental assistance, offsetting foreign exchange weakness and loss of income from divestment.

Distribution per unit (DPU) to unitholders for H2 is 1.98 cents, 2% lower from H2 FY2021/22. For the whole year, DPU is 3.8 cents, representing a 7.4% annual yield based on the closing unit price of S$0.515 as of 30 June 2023.

DPU will be distributed in cash on 29 August 2023.

Gross revenue rose 0.7% to S$187.8m in FY 2022/23, from S$186.4m previously.

NPI for the last six months of the fiscal year– January to June 2023– was S$73.6m, which is lower compared to the second half of FY21/22. YTL Starhill Global said that this was mainly due to net movement in foreign currencies and divestment of Daikanyama.

YTL Starhill said that it will retain S$0.7m of income available for distribution for working capital needs.

Overall, SGREIT’s total portfolio valuation is S$2.8b as of 30 June, a 4.3% decrease from last year, mainly due to a downward revaluation of its Australia properties and Wisma Atria Property, the divestment of Daikanyama, and net movement in foreign currencies.

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.
