PHOTO: BT FILE[SINGAPORE] Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust’s (MPACT) distribution per unit (DPU) fell by 2.5 per cent to S$0.0196 for its first quarter ended Jun 30, from S$0.0201 in the previous corresponding period.
It was also attributed to foreign exchange headwinds from a weaker Japanese yen and Hong Kong dollar against the Singapore dollar.
The drop was partially cushioned by higher contributions from its Singapore assets, led by VivoCity’s strong post-asset enhancement initiative performance and sustained rental growth.
Net property income fell 6.8 per cent on the year to S$154.8 million for the quarter, from S$166 million.
The portfolio achieved a positive rental reversion of 4.3 per cent, led by VivoCity – which recorded a 13.5 per cent rental uplift alongside NPI growth of 8.9 per cent.
