AIMS APAC REIT Management Limited has announced a 2.5% year-on-year increase in Distribution per Unit (DPU) to 7.250 Singapore cents for the nine months ending 31 December 2025. The REIT’s net property income rose by 4.1% to S$103.7m, driven by higher rental reversions and cost efficiencies.
The portfolio’s occupancy rate improved to 95.4%, with rental reversions at 8.0% for the period. The completion of the Framework Building acquisition and contributions from portfolio rejuvenation initiatives have bolstered the REIT’s resilience and growth prospects. CEO Russell Ng highlighted the strategic capital management efforts, including the issuance of S$150m in perpetual securities at a competitive rate of 4.1%, which enhances financial flexibility.
Chairman George Wang emphasised the REIT’s strong foundation and readiness to explore future growth opportunities, aiming for long-term sustainable returns for unitholders. The portfolio, supported by 188 tenants across various sectors, benefits from a high-quality, diversified tenant base, with 82.7% of gross rental income from essential and defensive industries.
Looking ahead, the Manager plans to focus on growth opportunities in key markets and industries, leveraging its robust balance sheet and strategic investments. With 65% of borrowings hedged and a significant portion of Australian income secured against currency fluctuations, AIMS APAC REIT is well-positioned to navigate economic uncertainties and pursue further acquisitions and organic growth initiatives.
