Singapore property tax hike dents FHT's 1H24 bottom line 

In 1H24, the REIT reported a 1.3% YoY lower NPI.

The increase in Singapore property taxes has negatively impacted Frasers Hospitality Trust's (FHT) net property income (NPI) for the 1H24 period.

In its latest financial statement, FHT reported a 1.3% YoY lower NPI of $44.7m.

Increased labour and utilities costs driven by inflation across FHT's portfolio also affected the 1H24 NPI.

Apart from lower NPI, the REIT also reported declines in its income available for distribution (DI) and distribution per stapled security (DPS).

DI in 1H24 was $23.4m, down 13.7% YoY, whilst DPS dropped 13.7% YoY to $0.010910.

On the other hand, the company recorded a 1.7% YoY higher gross revenue of $63.3m driven by a slight improvement in its hospitality portfolio performance.

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.
