CRCT's NPI up 11.9% to $41.1m in Q3

Portfolio-wide investments and better operational cash flows boosted income.

CapitaLand Retail China Trust (CRCT) popped the champagne as its net property income (NPI) grew 11.9% to $41.1m in Q3 2019 after portfolio-wide improvements and better operational cash flows for most of its malls, according to DBS Research.

Gross revenue increased by 7.5% to $59.5m in the same period, with a YTD gross revenue and NPI growing by 2.2% and 8.7% to $170.6m and $121.3m respectively.

Distributable income came in at $26.9m for Q3 and $77.2m with a $1m capital distribution.

Occupancy rates stood at 97.1%, up from 97% in Q2, with average rental reversions of 7.4% and key mall Xizhimen garnering a 10.8% boost in rents. However, Qibao and Xinnan malls reported revenues declines at 10.9% and 5.9% respectively due to ongoing tenant remix and competition from other malls.

Rental reversions for CapitaMall Minzhongleyuan fell into negative territory at -2.9% and -7.3% for September due to heightened competition.

Tenant sales and shopper traffic went up by 8.3% and 11.8% respectively, with a YTD for September at 7.3% and 8.4%.

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.
