OUE Hospitality Trust's NPI up 3.8% to $29.5m

Thanks to income from Crowne Plaza Changi Airport for saving this quarter's figures.

OUE Hospitality Trust's (OUEHT) delivered exciting results in Q3 as net property income (NPI) rose 3.8% YoY to $29.5m whilst distributable income jumped 10.9% to $24.7m.

According to OCBC Investment Research, revenue increased 5.4% YoY to $34.0m, mainly supported by stronger contributions from OUEHT's Hospitality segment. Retail revenue was 0.8% higher mainly due to the higher average occupancy.

If it weren't for the income from Crowne Plaza Changi Airport (CPCA) received last quarter, the distributable income would have been 6.4% lower.

OCBC Investment Research said the ramp-up at CPCA is proceeding healthily, with occupancy increasing from the 60% range when the extension first opened to the 80% range now seen in Q3.

The property's revenue per available room (RevPAR) has also risen 22% from $147 last year to $180.

OCBC analyst Deborah Ong said, "As expected, OUEHT has drawn down the full income support for CPCA this quarter."

RevPAR growth continued at Mandarin Orchard Singapore (MOS) with an 8% YoY increase to $242.

Banquet and food & beverage (F&B) sales also contributed to higher master lease income.

Distribution per unit (DPU) jumped 10.6% YoY to 1.36 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.
