Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust's 4Q FY24/25 Result Review

Basic Profile & Key Statistics

Key Indicators

Performance Highlight

MPACT reported a YoY decline in gross revenue, NPI, amount available for distribution, and DPU, mainly due to the divestment of Mapletree Anson in July 2024 and weaker overseas contributions. However, performance was partly cushioned by lower property expenses and steady contributions from VivoCity despite ongoing AEI works.

Rental Reversion

Portfolio rental reversion for FY24/25 was 3.6%, supported by positive reversions from Singapore properties, while China, Hong Kong and Japan continued to record negative reversions.

Shopper Traffic & Tenant Sales

At VivoCity, shopper traffic declined marginally by 0.1% YoY, while tenant sales dipped 2.1% due to AEI disruptions. Festival Walk saw shopper traffic grow by 5.6% YoY, but tenant sales fell 8.4%, mainly impacted by outbound travel and cross-border spending.

Asset Enhancement Initiative

The AEI at VivoCity Basement 2 is progressing as planned. Phase 1 is almost complete with most kiosks operational, and Phase 2 expansion is underway. The entire AEI is targeted for completion by end-2025.
