Starhill Global REIT net property income up 5.2% to S$39.1m

2Q13 distributable income also rose 14.7%.

Starhill Global REIT (SGREIT) announced 2Q13 NPI of S$39.1m and distributable income of S$26.7m, up 5.2% and 14.7% YoY respectively.

Commenting on the results, OCBC Investment Research said that "while the number of units outstanding was enlarged post conversion of 152.7m convertible preferred units (CPUs) into 210.2m ordinary units, income to be distributed to CPU holders declined 88.2% YoY to S$0.3m."

"As a result, income to unitholders was up 22.1% to S$25.6m, while DPU was up 10.2% YoY to 1.19 S cents. Together with 1Q DPU of 1.37 S cents, 1H13 DPU totaled 2.56 S cents, up 19.1% YoY. This forms 52.1%/51.2% of our/consensus full-year DPU forecasts," it added.

The positive performance, OCBC notes, was mainly attributable to strong contribution from SGREIT’s Singapore portfolio and incremental revenue from its recently acquired Plaza Arcade in Australia.

As at 30 Jun, SGREIT’s portfolio occupancy stood at 99.6%, largely unchanged compared to 99.7% in the Mar quarter. Financial position also remains strong, with gearing at 30.3% and interest cost at 3.03% (81% fixed/hedged).
