Amount available for distribution grew by 2.5% y-o-y to $22.1 million.

The DPU for the quarter will be distributed in the 1HFY2023 as the REIT now makes its distributions on a half-yearly basis.

During the quarter, the REIT saw gross revenue grow by 21.7% y-o-y to $37.3 million while total net property income (NPI) grew by 23.5% y-o-y to $35.3 million. The higher gross revenue and NPI were attributed to the contribution from the five nursing homes that were acquired in September 2022. The higher rent from the REIT’s Singapore properties under the new master lease agreements which commenced in August 2022 also contributed to the higher revenue and NPI, though this was partly offset by the depreciation of the Japanese yen (JPY).

Trust expenses during the quarter increased by 2.0% y-o-y to $4.5 million. This was due to higher management fees in line with the higher NPI and enlarged portfolio.

Finance costs surged by 127.1% y-o-y to $2.5 million due to funding of capital expenditures (capex) and new acquisitions in FY2022. Higher interest costs from the Singapore dollar (SGD) debts also led to the higher finance costs though this was offset by the depreciation of the JPY.
