Author's Note
The DPU of 3.27 cents was declared for the current quarter.

Note: In connection with the private placement launched on 31 March 2011, the Manager declared a distribution for the period from 1 January 2011 to 10 April 2011, being the day immediately prior to the date on which the New Units were issued. The purpose is to ensure that the total amount available for distribution accrued by A-REIT up to 10 April 2011 is only distributed to the then existing Unitholders as a means to ensure fairness to these Unitholders. The book closure date for such distribution was on 8 April 2011. The payment date will be on 9 May 2011.

The DPU was 3.29 cents in the previous quarter.

CCT Q1 2011 Quarterly Earnings Report

CCT Q1 2011 Quarterly Earnings Report:
Key Points
  • Distribution per unit (DPU) achieved for 1Q 2011 is 1.84 cents, which is
    4.7% lower than 1.93 cents reported in 1Q 2010. 
  • Based on the closing price of S$1.42 per unit on 18 April 2011, CCT’s distribution yield is 5.3%.
  • Distributable income of S$52.1 million for the financial quarter ended 31 March 2011 represents a decline of 4.1% when compared with the distributable income of S$54.3 million reported in the first quarter of 2010. 
  • The decline was mainly attributed to the reduction in rental income arising from the sale of Starhub Centre and Robinson Point, in line with the Trust’s portfolio reconstitution strategy. It is also due to lower revenue contribution from Six Battery Road because of expected vacancies to facilitate the asset enhancement works and negative rent reversions given lower market rental rates compared with the expired rentals.
  • The Trust’s portfolio committed occupancy level is at 98.2%. This is higher than the current market occupancy level of 94.4% for the core CBD area.
  • Proposed joint venture with CapitaLand to redevelop Market Street Car Park into an ultra-modern Grade A office tower
  • Gearing as at end-March 2011 of 27.8%.
  • NAV per unit was $1.49 as at 31 Mar 2011.
Author's Note
There will be no distribution for this quarter as the Reit has a semi-annual distribution policy.

The DPU was 1.94 cents in the previous quarter.
