Gross revenue and net property income (NPI) for 1HFY2025 came in at $234.5 million and $159.5 million, up 3.3% y-o-y and 5.6% y-o-y respectively.
The REIT attributes the higher gross revenue to a one-off compensation received in Sydney’s 177 Pacific Highway, and stronger operating performance across Singapore. This was offset by lower occupancy in Adelaide and lower contribution from London.
Meanwhile, it saw stronger operating performance at One Raffles Quay and lower interest expense at MBFC Properties and One Raffles Quay.
The REIT says that operational performance of its Singapore portfolio remained strong, while its UK portfolio was stable.
