Basic Profile & Key Statistics
Key Indicators
Performance Highlight
Mapletree Logistics Trust (MLT) reported a mixed set of results for 4Q FY24/25:
-
Gross revenue and NPI dipped slightly year-on-year, primarily due to lower contributions from China, currency depreciation, and absence of revenue from divested assets.
-
These were partially offset by stronger performance from Singapore, Australia, and Hong Kong SAR, as well as contributions from acquisitions completed in 1Q FY24/25.
-
DPU declined 11.6% YoY to 1.955 cents, impacted by lower NPI, higher borrowing costs, and smaller capital distributions from divestments.
Rental Reversion
MLT achieved an overall portfolio rental reversion of +5.1% for the quarter. While most markets recorded positive reversions, China continued to be a drag with a -9.4% rental reversion. Notably, Japan saw a strong +15.7% reversion.
Divestment
During the quarter, three properties were divested at a premium to their latest valuations while four more properties are pending divestment completion.
Redevelopment
The redevelopment of 5A Joo Koon Circle (previously 51 Benoi Road) is in progress and is expected to be completed in May 2025. Additionally, the amalgamation and redevelopment of Subang 3 and 4 is awaiting regulatory approval, with completion targeted in 1H 2028.

Author's Opinion
Compared to the previous quarter, MLT’s performance weakened slightly, largely due to a decline in contributions from China and the absence of income from recently divested properties. For debt, only 7% of the total debt maturing in the next fiscal year.
