Sunlight Real Estate Investment Trust ('Sunlight REIT') Interim Results for the Six Months Ended 30 June 2025
HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 August 2025 - Henderson Sunlight Asset Management Limited (the 'Manager') announces the interim results of Sunlight REIT for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (the 'Reporting Period'). Sunlight REIT recorded a 4.8% year-on-year decline in revenue to HK$391.2 million for the Reporting Period. Net property income was down by 5.4% to HK$307.4 million and the cost-to-income ratio was 21.4%. Distributable income was relatively sturdy with a mild drop of 1.8% to HK$168.6 million, reflecting the positive impact from an approximately 14% savings in cash interest expense to HK$91.5 million. The Board has resolved to declare an interim distribution per unit of HK 9.1 cents, representing a payout ratio of 93.8% and an annualized distribution yield of 8.1% based on the closing price of HK$2.26 on the last trading day of the Reporting Period. At 30 June 2025, the appraised value of Sunlight REIT's real estate portfolio was HK$17,630.5 million. Total assets stood at HK$18,220.2 million, while its net assets attributable to unitholders came in at HK$12,634.1 million, implying a net asset value of HK$7.27 per unit. Operating Highlights The overall occupancy rate of Sunlight REIT's portfolio at 30 June 2025 was 89.2% as compared to 91.3% at 31 December 2024, of which the office occupancy rate dropped to 90.0%, while the retail occupancy rate came in at 87.6%. At 30 June 2025, the passing rent of the office portfolio declined mildly by 1.2% from six months ago to HK$31.7 per sq. ft., while that of the retail portfolio was stable at HK$65.5 per sq. ft. At 30 June 2025, the occupancy rate of Dah Sing Financial Centre was 90.6%, while its passing rent remained steady at HK$36.3 per sq. ft. As for the retail portfolio, Sheung Shui Centre Shopping Arcade recorded a lower occupancy rate of 87.0% at 30 June 2025, but its passing rent registered a slight improvement to HK$105.2 per sq. ft. Meanwhile, due to the departure of an education tenant in the second quarter of 2025, the occupancy rate of Metro City Phase I Property slipped to 87.1%, while its passing rent was HK$53.9 per sq. ft. Mr. Au Siu Kee, Alexander, Chairman of the Manager, said, 'Hong Kong's commercial property market has yet to benefit from a more stable economic setting as the ongoing headwinds remain stiff, and the pressure of negative rental reversion is likely to stay. However, we are delighted to report that the refinancing of borrowings maturing in the next 12 months is progressing smoothly with favourable indicative pricing, underscoring the financial strength of Sunlight REIT. In sum, while it is envisaged that operational hurdles are bound to persist, the possibility of lower funding costs may help alleviate pressure on distributable income.' Remarks: Attached financial highlights of 2025 interim results of Sunlight REIT.

Asian Firms Divided on Insolvency Outlook Amid Ongoing Trade Challenges
HONG KONG SAR - Media OutReach Newswire - 11 August 2025 - The 2025 edition of the Atradius Payment Practices Barometer survey for Asia reveals a nearly even split between businesses expecting stable payment behaviour from their customers and those foreseeing a deterioration in payment risk in the coming months. The survey, conducted in the second half of Q2 2025 across China, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Singapore, Taiwan, and Vietnam, highlights regional resilience amid rising financial vulnerabilities driven by global trade policy uncertainty, liquidity constraints, and worsening B2B payment behavior. Late payments affect 44% of B2B credit sales, with bad debts averaging 5%—a seemingly modest figure that nonetheless significantly impacts profitability. Businesses cite customer liquidity issues, delays in customers' payment processes, invoice disputes and supply chain disruptions as the top reasons for late payments. The survey also found that three in five Asian companies (60%) have expanded trade credit offerings but kept payment terms steady to limit exposure to payment risks while maintaining customer loyalty and encouraging sales. Furthermore, the survey shows, 54% of all B2B sales are transacted on credit with 48-day average payment terms, highlighting the central role credit plays in financing trade across Asia. Bank loans, invoice financing and internal funds have served as the other key sources of funding over the past 12 months. Looking ahead, the survey's findings depict a region also divided on considerations such as inventory turnover and days sales outstanding (DSO) - the time taken to collect payments - but united in acknowledging and anticipating macro challenges, such as the influence of increased trade uncertainties, growing regulatory compliance burdens and the pressures to adopt sustainable practices to address environmental concerns. At the same time, projections of sales and profitability across Asia remain cautiously optimistic as indicated by companies' plans to manage payment risk. In this scenario, balancing the dual needs of liquidity and risk management will be pivotal for success in the months ahead, the survey concludes. 'The latest findings from our Payment Practices Barometer for Asia reveal critical insights into the operational challenges faced by businesses. Issues like increasing bad debts, trade policy uncertainties, compliance pressures, and sustainability initiatives are prominent. However, there is also cautious optimism as companies acknowledge these challenges and explore solutions,' stated Eric den Boogert, Managing Director of Atradius in Asia. 'This includes adapting to market changes and ensuring optimal liquidity while effectively managing risk through strategies like outsourcing credit risk management to enhance traditional internal measures.'

Beyond accolades, Q2 2025 delivered tangible results. Schneider Electric surpassed its goal of training 1 million people in energy management, a cornerstone of its commitment to inclusive energy transition and youth empowerment.

This reflects the growing impact of the Zero Carbon Project, which combines local solutions, on-site support, renewable energy insights, and targeted training. --> The Decent Work Program reached 79% coverage in Q2 2025, up 39 points year-over-year, reflecting improved working conditions and compliance, particularly in the Middle East and East Asia & Japan.
