CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust Review @ 22 January 2021

Basic Profile & Key Statistics

CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT) invests in mainly Retail and Office properties which currently owns 24 properties in Singapore and Germany.


Performance Review

4QFY20 gross revenue, NPI and distributable income increased by 36%, 36.4% and 26.8% YoY respectively due to the contributions from properties of CapitaLand Commercial Trust after the merger. 4Q DPU, on the other hand, decreased by 15.4% YoY.

Rental reversion for FY2020 is negative for retail but positive for office.

4Q tenants' sales recovered to average 94.5% despite shopper traffic only recovered to average 67.9%.

There are a few ongoing AEIs and development of CapitaSpring which are target to be completed by end of this year. All these would improve the CICT performance upon completion.

  • WALE is short at 3 years where the highest lease expiry of 28.8% falls in 2022.

As the merger with CCT only completed on 21 Oct 2020, it is still too early to see the full performance of CICT. With the recent phase 3 opening and vaccination in process, shopper traffic and tenants' sales of retail are expected to be improved. For the office sector,  vaccination should also help in the improvement of business sentiment as likely more companies would allow more employees to back to work in the office more frequently. Long term wise, CICT would also be able to benefit from those ongoing AEIs and CapitaSpring upon completion.
