Keppel Pacific Oak US REIT's 2H FY24 Result Review

Basic Profile & Key Statistics

Key Indicators

Performance Highlight

Gross revenue for 2H 2024 declined YoY, mainly due to lower non-cash rental income, higher vacancies, and reduced one-off termination fees, partially offset by higher recoveries income. Increased property expenses from maintenance, management fees, and leasing costs led to a 14.1% drop in NPI (7.9% lower after adjusting for non-cash items). Coupled with higher finance costs, income available for distribution also declined.
