CDL Hospitality Trust's NPI dipped 3.3% to $141.16m in 2019

It saw full-quarter contributions from its rebranded Raffles Maldives Meradhoo.

CDL Hospitality Trust's (CDLHT) net property income (NPI) declined 3.3% YoY to $141.16m in FY 2019, the company announced. Revenue fell 2.4% to $196.87m over the same period.

In Q4, NPI dipped 1.2% YoY to $37.97m, whilst revenue climbed 3.2% to $53.98m. Full-quarter contributions from the rebranded Raffles Maldives Meradhoo resort ($2.6m) and the Italy Hotel ($300,000), as well as higher contribution from its Singapore hotels ($1.2m), boosted the total portfolio income.

However, revenue growth was offset by lower contribution from the rest of the group’s properties, which posted a collective YoY decline of $2.4m, largely from the expected reduced income from Pullman Hotel Munich.

The trust’s Singapore hotels saw its revenue per available room (RevPAR) grow 5.1% YoY for the quarter, its strongest since 2012.

Meanwhile, in Maldives, Angsana Velavaru’s RevPAR slipped 18.6%. Raffles Maldives Meradhoo also recorded its first full trading quarter since the official opening on 22 September.

Its hotels in New Zealand and Italy posted a marginal RevPAR growth of 0.5% and 2.6%, respectively. However, RevPAR declines were recorded for its hotels in Japan (14.4%), UK (3.7%) and Germany (10.2%).

CDLHT’s total distribution edged up 0.6% to $33.6m for the quarter, translating to a relatively unchanged DPS of 2.77 cents.

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.
