Mapletree Logistics Trust's DPU down 8.9% YoY in Q1

Net property income also decreased by $1.5m or 0.9%YoY during the same period. 

Mapletree Logistics Trust posted an 8.9% decrease in its distribution per unit (DPU) for the first quarter of FY24/25, falling to 2.068 cents from 2.271 cents in the same period last year.

The group’s property expenses rose by $1m or 3.9% primarily due to a full quarter’s contribution from acquisitions completed in FY23/24 and increased utility costs. The increase was partially offset by the depreciation of foreign currencies, particularly the Japanese Yen and Chinese Yuan, against the Singapore Dollar.

It also reported a decrease in net property income for the same period, down by $1.5m or 0.9% YoY.

Additionally, borrowing costs also saw a rise, increasing by $3.3m or 9.4%. This increase was mainly due to higher average interest rates on existing debts and additional borrowings to fund acquisitions in FY23/24 and FY24/25, although it was partly offset by loan repayments funded through divestment proceeds.

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.
