H1 DPU was up 4.2 per cent from 2.36 sen in the corresponding year-ago period. Distributable income rose 7.4 per cent to RM71.9 million, from RM66.9 million in H1 2024.
Gross revenue was up 4.7 per cent to RM236.1 million, from RM225.5 million; NPI gained 7.3 per cent to RM138.8 million, from RM129.4 million.
The higher NPI for the half-year was mainly on the back of positive rental reversions, as well as income recognition from Glenmarie Distribution Centre, which commenced operations in January 2025, the manager said.
It added that, excluding a one-off compensation of RM3 million recorded in H1 2024 from the early termination of a lease contract, NPI for the period grew 9.8 per cent on a yearly basis.
Yong Su-Lin, chief executive of its manager, said that its strategic expansion into the industrial and logistics sectors, together with ongoing retail asset enhancements, positions CLMT well to capture sustainable growth.
Units of CLMT, which is listed on Bursa Malaysia, closed unchanged at 65 sen on Monday, before the bourse filing.

Food Picks: Herbaceous coriander tea from Beutea
Beutea's Bitter Melon Coriander Tea has fruit and vegetables such as bittergourd, kale and lemon. SINGAPORE – Coconut shakes, tomato plum tea – every year, I search for a cool drink that will help me get through the hot months in Singapore. In 2025, it is Beutea's Bitter Melon Coriander Tea ($7.90). Oh, I know you just made a face, but it is delicious and, more importantly, very refreshing. There is bittergourd, coriander, green apple, grapefruit, kale and lemon in the drink, although the bittergourd is very dialled down. And despite the arsenal of fruit and vegetables, the jasmine tea base stands out. The tea in bubble tea is so often drowned out by toppings and flavourings, but the floral lilt of this one is so beguiling. And then there is that herbaceousness from the coriander and zing from the lemon. The Malaysian brand, by the same people behind Oriental Kopi, uses tea leaves from Yunnan and Wuyi in China. If the queue for bubble tea is too long, I just get a bottle of its excellent cold brew teas. There are four – Osmanthus Oolong, White Peach Oolong, Forested Roasted and Jasmine Green Tea ($4.90 a bottle). All are good, but the White Peach Oolong especially so.

Ong Beng Seng's HPL looks to cut stakes in Forum shopping mall, voco Orchard hotel: Sources
Hotel Properties Ltd. (HPL) is in talks to sell majority stakes in the Forum shopping mall. SINGAPORE – The property firm of embattled billionaire Ong Beng Seng is looking to reduce its stakes in two marquee assets along Singapore's Orchard Road shopping strip, according to people familiar with the matter. Hotel Properties Ltd. (HPL) is in talks to sell majority stakes in the Forum shopping mall, as well as the voco Orchard hotel, according to the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private matters. HPL is seeking a deal that would value the two adjacent assets for at least $2 billion, they said. A spokesperson for Singapore-listed HPL declined to comment. The firm has interests in more than 40 hotels across the globe including the Four Seasons in Singapore, as well as resorts in the Maldives. Ong, 79, has been in the spotlight in the last couple of years after being implicated in a scandal that led to the imprisonment of a senior politician in Singapore. Ong has indicated he plans to plead guilty on Aug 4 after being charged in 2024 for abetting former Transport Minister S. Iswaran over two flights and a night's stay at the Four Seasons in Doha. It's unclear whether the case has any relation to the firm's planned asset sales. HPL won provisional permission from authorities in August 2023 to redevelop the two sites, along with its company headquarters, HPL House. That was part of a government plan to rejuvenate the Orchard Road shopping district by allowing developers to seek more space or change of use for older buildings. The company intends to keep its ownership of HPL House under the potential sale, the people said. It said earlier this year in its annual report that redevelopment plans are 'being refined for submission to the relevant authorities.' In April, Ong relinquished his decades-long tenure as managing director of HPL. Two long-time executives replaced him, after he cited a desire to devote more time to his medical issues. But he continues to provide 'strategic oversight and direction' to the firm. Together with his wife Christina, the Malaysian tycoon controls HPL with a roughly 60 per cent stake. The next largest shareholder is Hong Kong billionaire Peter Woo. The Forum mall is valued at about $990 million, group executive director Christopher Lim said at the company's annual meeting in April. That estimate doesn't account for the redevelopment. He declined to comment on the value of the voco, formerly the Hilton Singapore, saying the company didn't have a valuation for it. HPL is set to gain full ownership in August of the Concorde, an $821 million shopping mall and hotel complex on Orchard Road, after buying out minority stakes it didn't own. The company's stock has soared 46 per cent this year, almost four times the gain in Singapore's Straits Times Index. It was trading up 1.5 per cent, or eight cents, at $5.29 as at 10.15am on July 29.

Keppel Pacific Oak US Reit H1 distributable income falls 16.2% to US$19.9 million
[SINGAPORE] Keppel Pacific Oak US Reit (Kore) posted a distributable income of US$19.9 million for its first half of the financial year ended Jun 30, down 16.2 per cent from US$23.8 million in the previous corresponding period. The US office-focused real estate investment trust (Reit) blamed lower cash net property income (NPI) and higher other trust expenses for the drop in distributable income, said the manager in a business update on Tuesday (Jul 29). It posted a positive 0.5 per cent rental reversion for the half. No distribution was declared. The manager had previously said it would suspend distributions for two years from H2 FY2023 to H2 FY2025 as part of recapitalisation plans to address capital needs and leverage concerns. For the first half of FY2025, NPI was at US$40.7 million, down 3.2 per cent from US$42 million before. Gross revenue rose 0.2 per cent to US$74.6 million.

Kore's performance had been sliding for some time with the challenging environment faced by the US office market. It posted a 19.3 per cent drop in distributable income in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter in 2024. In 2024, for H2 and the full year, its distributable income tumbled due to lower cash NPI and higher financing costs.
