AIMS APAC REIT's net income soars 16.6% YoY to $55.48m

Despite the income growth, the REIT's DPU still decreased by 4.8% YoY.

AIMS APAC REIT (AA REIT) saw its net income soar by 16.6% in 2H FY2022, reaching $55.48m.

Despite the income growth, the REIT's Distributions to Unitholders and distribution per unit (DPU) still declined in the same period, with the former dropping by 3.8% to $33.64m and the latter declining by 4.8% to $0.0471.

The REIT's manager said the decline in DPU and Distributions to Unitholders was largely due to the distributions related to the $250.0m perpetual securities issued on 1 September 2021 for the acquisition of Woolworths HQ.

Looking at the full-year figures, however, DPU and  Distributions to Unitholders both rose by 5.7% to $0.0946 and by 6.3% to $67.25m, respectively. The increase was on the back of a  17.9% higher full-year net income of $103.19m. 

The improvement in the REIT's full-year performance was mainly due to contributions from the recently acquired
Woolworths HQ in November 2021, a full-year contribution from 7 Bulim Street acquired in October 2020, as well as higher rental and recoveries at 20 Gul Way, 8 & 10 Pandan Crescent, 29 Woodlands Industrial Park, and 541 Yishun Industrial Park A.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
