CapitaCommercial Trust pops the champagne on 97.2% occupancy

Check out its robust results.

According to OCBC, CapitaCommercial Trust (CCT) reported 4Q12 distributable income of S$58.3m - 7.0% higher YoY. This cumulates to a FY12 distributable income of S$228.5m, up 7.4% YoY, which is within expectations and make up 101% of our forecast.

The growth in distributable income was mainly due to higher contributions from HSBC Building and the 20 Anson acquisition, partially off-set by negative reversions at 6 Battery Rd and the redevelopment of the Market St Car Park.

"Portfolio occupancy remained stable at 97.2% as of end 4Q12, versus 97.1% in the previous quarter. Average rentals of remaining leases expiring in 2013 are at
S$7.48 - significantly lower than current Grade A levels of S$9.58 - and we expect continued positive rental reversions over FY13," OCBC noted.
