SINGAPORE (Oct 31): Frasers Hospitality Trust (FHT), the owner and operator of serviced residences and hotels, posted a 5.4% fall in 4Q DPS to 1.57 cents from 1.66 cents a year ago as the number of stapled securities rose 27.4% to 1.84 billion from 1.4 million a year ago.
Gross revenue increased 8.6% to $33.5 million while net property income rose 11.5% to $28.6 million, boosted by the addition of Maritim Hotel Dresden and strong performance of Sydney properties.
