Performance has been impacted by higher financing costs, which has led to a decline in performance as compared to the previous quarter. The cost of debt has increased from 3.7% as of 4Q 2022 to the current rate of 4.7%. There is no debt refinancing requirement until May 2025, albeit the 62.8% fixed rate debt is relatively low as compared to other SREITs. Additionally, there is an outstanding rental arrear of approximately S$2.6 million from PT Metropolis Propertindo Utama and its subsidiaries (MPU), but it is expected to be fully paid within this year based on the payment plan from MPU.
