As compared to the previous quarter, gross revenue and NPI have increased mainly due to the income contribution from newly acquired HPB in June 2021. Since the incident of protest in Hong Kong in 2019, MNACT has acquired several properties to improve its portfolio diversification and in turn, reduce the income concentration from Festival Walk. However, the continuous negative rental reversion of Festival Walk and Gateway Plaza would be a drag on the performance as both contribute to around 2/3 of gross revenue.
