Author's Opinion

Compared to the previous half-year, both gross revenue and NPI have declined due to the divestment of Lowe’s and Sam’s Club within Hudson Valley Plaza. However, income available for distribution has improved slightly due to lower finance expenses, straight-line rent adjustments, and lease commission amortization. Coupled with a slightly lower proportion of retention, DPU has improved slightly. On the debt front, around 17% of UHREIT’s debt matures in December 2025.
