Key Points
- Strong financial performance with NPI up 8.7% and distributable income up 13.3% year-on-year.
- DPU grew 7.1% despite a 5.8% increase in unit base, reflecting robust operational execution.
- Healthy portfolio occupancy at 95.6%, with positive rent reversions of 4% for retail and 7.6% for office.
- Proactive capital management reduced aggregate leverage to 37.4% and maintained average cost of debt at 2.9%.
- Growth drivers in place for H2 2026 and beyond, including Paragon acquisition, Gallileo contribution, and AEI completions.
- Tenant sales growth moderated in Q2, impacted by softer tourist arrivals and consumer sentiment.
- Retail rent reversions softened to 4% due to AEI downtime and large lease renewals.
- Divestment of German assets, particularly MAC, faces challenges due to high inflationary and interest rate environment.
- Australia office portfolio, especially North Sydney, continues to face vacancy pressures and stagnant rents.
- Interest rate risk remains a key concern, with a 1% increase potentially reducing DPU by $0.0027.
Good morning. Welcome to CICT's first half results briefing. Today, we are in somewhere special, the Paragon Club. It's a member's lounge reserve for its top-tier members. And if you'd like to return, you can start spending after the briefing.
And remember to spend generously to support our economy and of course, our tenant sales. Thank you very much. Jokes aside, we are very happy to have you with us today. And to those joining online, thank you for dialing in. In a moment's time, we'll have our CEO, Choon-Siang, walk us through his key highlights for the first half results.
Following that, we'll move on to the Q&A segment with the rest of the management team.
And with that, I would like to hand the time over to Choon-Siang.
Thank you, Allison. Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. If you're wondering
