 CapitaLand Ascendas REIT

( YTD: -1.06% | 5D: -1.75%)

 5 Feb - Full Yearly Results

  • CapitaLand Ascendas REIT (CLAR) announced distributable income growth of 1.4% year-on-year (YoY) to S$678.3 million for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 (FY 2025).

  • CLAR’s improved performance was mainly driven by acquisitions completed in Singapore and the United States (US) in 2025, as well as prudent management of operating and interest expenses, partly offset by divestments completed in 2024 and 2025.

  • CLAR’s distribution per unit (DPU) for FY 2025 was 15.005 Singapore cents compared to 15.205 Singapore cents in FY 2024, due to an enlarged unit base arising from the equity fundraising in June 2025. With the record date on Friday, 13 February 2026, unitholders of CLAR can expect to receive the 2H 2025 DPU of 7.528 Singapore cents on Friday, 13 March 2026.

  • Based on the closing price of S$2.83 per unit on 31 December 2025, CLAR’s distribution yield for FY 2025 will be 5.3%. Gross revenue and net property income (NPI) for FY 2025 rose by 1.0% and 1.7% YoY to S$1,538.6 million and S$1,067.6 million, respectively.

  • The NPI growth was partly supported by lower property operating expenses of S$471.0 million, a decrease of 0.4% YoY. The independent valuation of CLAR’s geographically diversified, multi-asset portfolio of 222 investment properties1 increased by 8.6% YoY to S$18.2 billion as at 31 December 2025.

  • This was mainly due to new acquisitions and the completion of a redevelopment in FY 2025. The portfolio comprised S$12.4 billion (68%) of properties in Singapore, S$2.1 billion (12%) in Australia, S$2.0 billion (11%) in the US and S$1.7 billion (9%) in the United Kingdom (UK)/Europe. On a same-store basis, the total portfolio value increased by 2.0% YoY to S$16.6 billion as at 31 December 2025.

  • By segment, the same-store valuation of the Business Space and Life Sciences portfolio increased by 1.2% YoY to S$7.8 billion. The same-store valuation of the Industrial and Data Centres portfolio segment recorded a 4.0% YoY increase to S$4.9 billion while the Logistics segment increased by 1.1% YoY to S$3.9 billion.

  • As at 31 December 2025, the adjusted net asset value per unit was stable at S$2.21 compared to a year ago.

Substance Over Optics: Why the Management Efficiency Index (MEI) is the New North Star for S-REITs

And to get a gauge of this health, we created the Management Efficiency Index (MEI), a metric designed to measure whether management fees are translating into sustainable, recurring value for unitholders.
