The manager of Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust (MPACT) has reported a distribution per unit (DPU) of 2.01 cents for the 2QFY2025/2026 ended Sept 30, up 1.5% y-o-y.
The trust’s gross revenue declined 3.2% y-o-y for the 2QFY2025/2026 to $218.5 million, largely due to lower overseas contributions and the absence of full period contributions from the divested TS Ikebukuro Building (TSI) and ABAS Shin-Yokohama Building (ASY).
Net property income declined 2.2% y-o-y for 2QFY2025/2026 to $163.9 million, also for the same reasons above.
MPACT says that despite the absence of Mapletree Anson’s contribution following its divestment in July 2024, its Singapore portfolio recorded higher gross revenue and NPI, which grew 3.5% and 6.1% y-o-y respectively.
This was led by VivoCity’s “robust performance” despite downtime from the asset enhancement initiatives (AEI) in basement 2.
For the reporting period, MPACT’s property operating expenses improved 5.8% y-o-y due to divestments and lower utility rates, while finance expenses improved 16.4% y-o-y from favourable interest rate conditions and proactive debt reduction.
As such, DPU grew 1.5% y-o-y for the second quarter of 2025.
For the first half of the year, MPACT renewed and re-let about 1.4 million square feet of lettable area. Of this, about 1.1 million square feet were leases with expiries in FY2025/2026.
The trust’s portfolio’s committed occupancy was 88.9% as at Sept 30, and weighted average lease expiry (WALE) stood at 2.2 years with 2 years for the retail segment and 2.4 years for the office/business park segment.

Units in MPACT closed flat at $1.46 on Oct 22.
