Ascendas REIT NPI grows 12% to $177.9m in Q2

The acquisition of 38 UK properties spurred growth.

The net property income (NPI) of Ascendas REIT rose 12% YoY to $177.9m for Q2 FY2019, attributed to the full quarter contribution from 38 logistics properties in the UK acquired last year, according to a press release.

Gross revenue also increased by 5.3% YoY to $229.6m in tandem with the adoption of the Financial Reporting Standard (FRS) 1161 since April this year.

Total amount available for distribution also inched up 7.6% YoY to $123.8m and distribution per unit (DPU) grew to 3.97 cents (+2.3% YoY).

Last October 3, Ascendas REIT board of directors announced the purchase of a fourth suburban office in Australia for $104.4m (A$110.9m) currently being developed in Melbourne and is expected to be completed in Q2 2020.

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.
