The amount available for distribution by OUE Commercial Real Estate Investment Trust rose 44.5 per cent year on year to S$37.63 million for the first quarter ended March 31, 2020, on the back of contributions from Mandarin Gallery, Mandarin Orchard Singapore and Crowne Plaza Changi Airport following the merger with OUE Hospitality Trust in 2019.
Revenue was up 40.5 per cent at S$77.73 million, while net property income was 42.5 per cent higher at S$62.07 million. The Reit's manager said it will review OUE C-Reit’s financial results for both Q1 2020 and Q2 2020 to determine the level of distribution for H1 2020. Tan Shu Lin, chief executive of the Reit's manager, said: “While we are pleased to report a healthy Q1 2020 operational performance for our commercial segment, the Covid-19 situation is still evolving and there remains uncertainty as to when businesses can resume normal operations. Given the fluidity of the pandemic situation, we will continue to monitor our operations closely and adapt our business accordingly.
Amid the ongoing pandemic, OUE C-Reit has extended about S$18.8 million in support to tenants in Singapore; its eligible tenants have been put on flexible rental payment schemes. In the Lippo Plaza in Shanghai, the support measures for all qualifying tenants are in line with government advisories, the Reit said.
For the quarter under review, OUE C-Reit's commercial segment reported a net property income of S$47.1 million, up 8.1 per cent. As at March 31, OUE C-Reit’s commercial segment committed occupancy was stable at 94.3 per cent. Fourteen per cent of the gross rental income for the commercial segment is due for renewal for the rest of this year, while an additional 28.5 per cent of gross rental income is due in 2021.
