Keppel REIT's NPI rose 15.3% to $36.24m in Q4

Thanks to higher income from Bugis Junction Towers and Ocean Financial Centre.

Keppel REIT's net property income (NPI) rose 15.3% YoY from $31.42m to $36.24m in Q4.

According to a financial statement, the favourable variances were mainly attributable to higher property income from Bugis Junction Towers and Ocean Financial Centre.

Keppel REIT also saw improved results from joint ventures, higher interest income, and higher fair value gain on investment properties.

Property expenses dipped by 5.3% to $8.13m.

However, distributable income (DI) dipped by 1.1% YoY to $48.2m. Distribution per unit (DPU) also fell 3.4% from 1.48 cents to 1.43 cents.

The gains were partially offset by lower rental support, lower share of results of associates, higher borrowing costs, net foreign exchange differences, as well as net change in fair value of derivatives.

For the full year, NPI rose by 2.2% YoY to $131.2m, whilst DPU slumped 10.5% YoY to 5.7 cents.

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.
