CapitaMall Trust’s net property income came in 3.3 percent higher at $114.1 million for the three months ended 30 September following the completion of asset enhancement initiatives at Bugis Junction as well as positive rental reversions.

The trust declared a distribution of $0.0272 per unit, up 6.3 percent.

First Real Estate Investment Trust’s net property income grew 7.9 percent to $23.5 million for the quarter ended 30 September, driven by a full quarter contribution from Siloam Hospitals Purwakarta. Coupled with a positive foreign exchange adjustment, the amount available for distribution to unitholders improved 6.1 percent to $14.7 million.

GuocoLeisure posted a 6.3 percent fall in revenue to US$101 million in the quarter ended 30 September, due to lower contribution from its gaming and property development segments. However, lower overall expenses, coupled with a foreign exchange gain, compared to a loss a year earlier, led to a 0.6 percent lift in net profit to US$16.6 million.
