The increases have been attributed to higher rental and recoveries from the REIT’s logistics and warehouse, hi-tech and industrial properties and full year revenue contribution from the acquisition of Woolworths HQ in Australia.

“We are pleased to report a strong set of financial and operational results for FY2023, including a record occupancy rate and double-digit rental growth driven by our active asset and lease management teams and sustained demand for modern and ramp up logistics and warehouse facilities, which represents over 42% of our portfolio”, said Russell Ng, CEO of the REIT’s manager.
“We ended the year with a strong balance sheet on the back of a proactive capital management approach which has also allowed us to mitigate the volatility in interest rates and positioned us well for the future”, he added.
As at 31 March 2023, the REIT’s aggregate leverage was 36.1% with a blended debt funding cost of 3.4% and a weighted average debt maturity of 3.1 years.
AIMS APAC REIT was last done on the SGX at SGD1.40, which presently implies a distribution yield of 7.1% according to data on the Singapore REITs table.
