CapitaLand China Trust’s 1QFY2024 NPI down by 7.7% y-o-y at RMB313.1 mil

In SGD terms, NPI fell by 11.8% y-o-y partly due to the 4.7% depreciation of the RMB to the SGD.

The manager of CapitaLand China Trust Au8u (CLCT) has reported gross revenue of RMB468.1 million ($89.7 million) for the 1QFY2024 ended March 31, 1.6% lower y-o-y, as the trust saw contributions from nine malls compared to 11 malls in the year before.

Excluding CapitaMall Shuangjing and CapitaMall Qibao’s contribution in 1QFY2023, CLCT’s retail gross revenue would have increased by 5.7% y-o-y. Both malls were divested at the end of 2023.

During the 1QFY2024, CLCT’s net property income (NPI) fell by 7.7% y-o-y to RMB313.1 million due to lower contributions from its logistics parks as well as the absence of one-off property tax refunds from the business parks.
