Notable Insights from Suntec REIT’s FY2025 Annual Report:

Key Performance Highlights:

• Gross revenue and net property income rose by 1.7% and 1.9% to S$471.6 million and S$316.8 million, respectively. This increase was mainly driven by higher contributions from Suntec City and Suntec Convention, as well as a one-off compensation received from an office tenant at 177 Pacific Highway. However, these gains were partially offset by lower revenue from 21 Harris Street, 55 Currie Street, and The Minster Building due to reduced occupancy and a weaker Australian dollar.

• In terms of net property income contribution from individual properties, the breakdown is as follows: 46% from Suntec City, 10% from MBFC Properties (Marina Bay Financial Centres 1 & 2, and Marina Bay Link Mall), 8% from Suntec Convention, 7% each from 177 Pacific Highway, One Raffles Quay, and Nova Properties, 5% each from The Minster Building, Olderfleet, and 477 Collins Street, 3% from 21 Harris Street, and 1% each from 55 Currie Street and Southgate Complex.

• By geographical location, the REIT’s Singapore properties contributed 71% of the net property income, while its Australian and UK properties contributed 17% and 12%, respectively.

• Income contributions from joint ventures increased by 3.6% to S$103.2 million, driven by improved operating performance and reduced interest expenses at MBFC Properties and One Raffles Quay. This was partially offset by a lower contribution from Southgate Complex.

• Distributable income surged by 14.6% to S$207.3 million, primarily due to stronger performance from the Singapore portfolio, higher dividend contributions from Suntec Convention, and lower financing costs. As a result, the distribution per unit increased by 13.6% to 7.035 cents.

• The portfolio occupancy rate stands at 94.8% for office spaces and 98.2% for retail. Rental reversion for the Singapore office portfolio was +9.6%, the Australian portfolio at +25.9%, and Suntec City Mall at +16.2%.

• The REIT’s portfolio valuation grew by 0.7% to S$11,830.1 million, with all properties showing slight improvements, except for 177 Pacific Highway and 21 Harris Street.

• For the office portfolio, the top 10 tenants contribute 20.0% to the REIT’s monthly gross rental income, with no single tenant accounting for more than 2.4%. For the retail portfolio, the top 10 tenants contribute 15.0% to the REIT’s monthly gross rental income, with no single tenant contributing more than 2.1%.

• The aggregate leverage ratio stands at 41.5%, with a debt headroom of S$1.0 billion before reaching the 50.0% limit. The all-in financing cost is 3.71% per annum, and approximately 65.0% of the interest is fixed or hedged.

Progress on Sustainability Agenda:

• Suntec REIT has attained the highest GRESB 5 Star rating for the 6th consecutive year and has upheld an ‘A’ rating for its ESG public disclosure.

• Olderfleet and 477 Collins Street achieved carbon neutrality in 2025.

• The REIT has also raised the proportion of green or sustainability-linked loans from around 70% to 82% as of December 2025.

Outlook Ahead:

• Singapore Office: Occupancy levels are expected to stay high, with positive rental reversion anticipated to be around 5%.

• Suntec City Mall: Revenue performance is projected to improve, driven by positive rental reversion, which is expected to be close to 10%, with committed occupancy remaining strong.

• Suntec Convention: The outlook is positive, with a steady mix of event types expected, as the Singapore MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions) sector continues its growth, supported by the Singapore Tourism Board.

• Australia Portfolio: Performance is expected to remain stable, supported by strong occupancy rates at 177 Pacific Highway, 21 Harris Street, and Olderfleet, 477 Collins Street. However, vacancies at Southgate Complex and 55 Currie Street are likely to persist due to market softness.

• United Kingdom Portfolio: Nova Properties is expected to maintain stable operating performance, while The Minster Building continues to be impacted by vacancies.

Closing Thoughts:

Suntec REIT’s gross revenue demonstrated stable growth over the years. While the growth rare has slowed down in FY2023 and FY2024, it has rebounded in FY2025.

Net property income, distributable income to unitholders, and distribution per unit all showed year-on-year increases after 2 consecutive years of decline (FY2023 and FY2024).

The REIT has maintained healthy occupancy rates across its properties, with positive rental reversions for new and renewed leases.

However, its aggregate leverage remains slightly above the management’s target of 40%, standing at 41.5%. While still higher than the target, it represents an improvement from 42.4% in FY2024.

Looking ahead to the next financial year, I am particularly interested in how the absence of the one-off compensation from an office tenant at 177 Pacific Highway in FY2025 might affect the REIT’s financial performance and distribution payout in the upcoming quarters. Positive rental reversions could help mitigate some of the impact.

Another key area to watch is how the Tangs plan to grow the REIT now that they have a more direct influence. Any acquisitions that expand the REIT’s Singapore portfolio and increase its income contribution from the home country would likely be well-received by investors.

I will continue to closely monitor the REIT’s financial performance, distribution payouts, and debt profile in the upcoming quarters.
