CDL Hospitality Trusts Q1 NPI climbs 10.4% on strong SG and Europe performance

Singapore hotels led gains as Japan and Maldives weigh on regional performance.

CDL Hospitality Trusts reported net property income (NPI) of $33.1m for the first quarter ended 31 March, up 10.4% year on year (YoY), supported by stronger performance in Singapore and selected overseas markets with gross revenue increasing 5.9% to $67.1m over the same period.

Singapore hotels recorded a 5.9% rise in NPI, supported by higher occupancy and growth in revenue per available room (RevPAR), a 6.6% increase during the quarter. Claymore Connect posted 5.0% NPI growth driven by rental escalations.

New Zealand NPI rose 46.1% YoY, supported by convention-related demand and post-renovation improvements whilst Australia posted a 151.9% increase, reflecting stronger RevPAR and event activity, according to the company’s investment disclosure.

In Europe, Germany NPI rose 24.5%, whilst Italy more than doubled, supported by prior-year base effects and lower costs.

The UK portfolio showed mixed performance. Hotel NPI fell 13.6% due to higher payroll costs and business rates, but total UK NPI rose 17.5% when including living assets. The Castings and Benson Yard contributed $1.1m in combined NPI growth.

Japan NPI declined 10.3% amidst softer inbound demand and currency impacts, whilst the Maldives fell 26.3% due to weaker March performance and higher operating costs.

The group said Singapore hotel RevPAR growth was supported by higher occupancy and events-led demand, including the Singapore Airshow 2026.

Gearing stood at 35.3% as at 31 March 2026, with cash reserves of $78.5m. The group also increased its fixed-rate debt proportion to 66.9% during the quarter.

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.
