Basic Profile & Key Statistics

Key Indicators

Performance Highlight

First REIT posted a YoY decline in gross revenue, NPI, distributable income, and DPU. The drop was mainly driven by the depreciation of the Indonesian Rupiah and Japanese Yen against the Singapore Dollar. However, the decline was partially cushioned by stronger rental contributions from its Singapore properties.
