SINGAPORE: Frasers Logistics & Commercial Trust (FLCT) reported a 13.8% year-on-year (YoY) decrease in distribution per unit (DPU) to 3 cents, as announced by the manager of FLCT in a press release on Tuesday (May 7).
FLCT's revenue increased by 7.5% YoY to S$232.3 million, while adjusted net property income (NPI) grew by 1.6% to $161.3 million.
The increases were mainly from full contributions from Ellesmere Port, completed in December 2023, and the acquisition of interests in four German logistics properties in March 2024. Contributions from the Maastricht Property in the Netherlands, which achieved practical completion in October 2024, and the acquisition of 2 Tuas South Link 1 in November 2024 also helped.
However, these were partially offset by higher vacancies at Alexandra Technopark and 357 Collins Street, as well as higher non-recoverable land taxes in Australia. The weaker Australian dollar (AUD) and euro (EUR) against the Singapore dollar (SGD) also contributed.
Finance costs also went up due to rising interest rates and additional borrowings used to fund developments and acquisitions. After higher finance costs, higher tax expenses and 56.9% of management fees paid in cash in the first half of FY2025 (1HFY25), distributable income fell to S$113.0 million, down from S$130.7 million in the same period last year. /TISG

Retail sales growth slows in April amid cautious consumer spending
Retail sales momentum in Singapore is slowing, with a 0.3 per cent rise in April, coming off March's 1.3 per cent growth. Analysts say this reflects more cautious consumer spending and warn that growth may stay modest in the coming months amid global uncertainty. Meanwhile, heartland enterprises in Woodlands and Marsiling say takings have come down amid the June holidays as more Singaporeans cross the border to shop. While government efforts like CDC vouchers have cushioned the impact, business owners hope more can be done. Richa Mathew reports.

Local production of vegetables and seafood falls in 2024
The proportion of locally produced food that is consumed by Singaporeans has fallen, except for eggs. While local farms boosted their yields slightly, there is still work ahead for Singapore to produce 30 per cent of its nutritional needs locally by 2030. Professor William Chen, Director of the Singapore Agri-Food Innovation Lab and Director of the Food Science and Technology Programme at NTU, discusses the latest food statistics. He talks about Singapore's "30 by 30" goals, what the statistics indicate about the progress towards it and if there is a need to reassess the target.
