CapitaMall Trust posts robust 12.2% income growth to $125.6m

Thanks to completed asset enhancement works.

OCBC Investment Research said that CapitaMall Trust registered robust growth in 2Q13 with net profit income growing by 12.2% YoY to S$125.6m while distributable income to unitholders rose by 10.2% to S$87.7m.

"The completed asset enhancement works at JCube, Bugis+ and The Atrium@Orchard last year, together with the rental rates achieved from the portfolio’s new and renewed leases, were the key drivers for the quarter," the research firm said.

"DPU was up 6.3% YoY to 2.53 S cents, and was consistent with our expectations given that 1H13 DPU of 4.99 S cents formed 50.9% of FY13F DPU. As at 30 Jun, CMT’s portfolio occupancy stood at 99.1%, representing an improvement from 1Q occupancy of 98.3%. In addition, positive rental reversion of 6.4% was also slightly higher than last quarter’s reversion of 6.2%," it added.

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.
