Year over year, gross revenue and adjusted NPI have seen improvement, mainly driven by contributions from Ellesmere Port, which achieved practical completion in December 2023 and from the acquisition of German logistics properties in March 2024.

Author's Opinion

As compared to the previous half-year, gross revenue and NPI have improved. However, distributable income to unitholders and DPU have declined mainly due to higher finance costs and 100% of management fees being paid in cash, offset by higher distribution from divestment gain. Regarding debt, around 24% would be maturing in the coming 12 months.
