Full year NPI contribution from Malaysia declined 11.9% YoY due to depreciation of MYR and reversal of excess provision of property tax in the comparative period last year. China mall(Chengdu) saw NPI decline of 39.0% YoY due to softening retail market and increased competition.

Key takeaways

SGREIT has signed two new F&B tenants Joe and the Juice and Picnic which will be opening in Aug & Nov 2016 respectively.
- The Group managed to achieve positive reversion of 3.5% for its Singapore office leases renewed in 4QFY16. However portfolio occupancy declined 3.6ppt to 95.6% as some Oil & Gas tenants moved out.
- Overall Portfolio occupancy dipped 3ppt to 95.1% as at 30th Jun due to lower occupancy in Singapore (97.9%), China (96.4%) and Australia (89.7%) properties. Weighted Average Lease Term (WALE) remains one of the longest among S-REITs with 7.1 years and 5.1 years in-terms of NLA and gross rents respectively. About 8.4%/10.7% of portfolio leases by NLA is expiring in FY17/18 respectively.
