Key Financial Metrics

The operating distributable income margin is favorable. However, management fees are non-competitive, and both operating distributable income on capital and operating distribution proportion are relatively low.

    • 80.6% from Operation
    • 12.1% from Management Fees Paid in Units
    • 7.3% from Divestment Proceeds

  • Uptrend: NAV per Unit
  • Flat: DPU from Operation, Committed Occupancy
  • Downtrend: Adjusted Interest Coverage Ratio, Property Yield, Operating Distributable Income on Capital, Operating Distributable Income Margin

Relative Valuation


  • Dividend Yield - Above +1SD for 1y, 3y & 5y
  • P/NAV - Below -1SD for 1y & 5y; Average for 3y

Author's Opinion

In comparison to the previous quarter, MLT's performance slightly declined, mainly attributed to the absence of revenue from divested properties, reduced contribution from China, and depreciation of JPY against SGD. Regarding debt, only 2% requires refinancing in the next 3 months, and 7% in the next fiscal year. With 83% of debt fixed/hedged, the cost of debt is expected to remain low, although management anticipates rising borrowing costs as expiring interest rate swaps are replaced at higher rates.
