Frasers Hospitality Trust's NPI grew 6.8% to $33.2m

All of its portfolio recorded higher gross operating profit.

Frasers Hospitality Trust (FHT) saw its net property income (NPI) rise 6.8% YoY to $33.2m in Q1 FY2020, the company announced. Revenue also climbed 4.3% to $42.4m over the same period.

Distributable income grew 7.4% YoY to $25.5m, with distribution per stapled security (DPS) expanding 6.1% at 1.33 cents.

The gross operating revenue (GOR) and profit (GOP) of its Australia portfolio grew 1.9% and 5.4% YoY respectively, the former attributed to higher food and beverage (F&B) revenue. Portfolio occupancy also rose to 90.3% from 88.7% a year ago.

The GOR and GOP for its Singapore portfolio also edged up 2.6% and 2%, respectively, with RevPAR improving 6.9% on the back of higher average daily rate (ADR) and occupancy. Both InterContinental Singapore and Fraser Suites Singapore saw gains in RevPAR.

The UK portfolio also saw its GOR rise 5.5% and GOP expand 7.3%, as it continued benefit from the weak pound. RevPAR grew 4.9% due to higher ADR and occupancy.

ANA Crowne Plaza Kobe in Japan recorded a 3.3% decline in GOR, no thanks to lower room and F&B revenue. Its GOP jumped 13.1% as it reviewed and re-grouped resources to streamline its operations.

Meanwhile, the Westin Kuala Lumpur’s GOR improved 7.5% as it continued to recover from a market-wide low base. With the 11.5% increase in room revenue, reduction in operating costs and the launching of a sustainability drive, its GOP rose 46.4%.

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.
