AME REIT Q4 rental income rises to RM13m
The higher rental income supported a 1.6% increase in net property income (NPI) to RM11.6 million compared to RM11.4 million previously.
The improved performance was mainly driven by income contributions from the acquisitions of two fully-leased industrial properties during Q4'25.
For the 12 months ended March 31, 2025 (FY25), AME REIT generated total rental income of RM50.9 million, a 6% increase from RM48 million in the previous year, and NPI of RM46.4 million, rising 4.5% from RM44.4 million previously.
AME REIT, in a statement said it will distribute RM9.7 million in distributable income for Q4'25, equivalent to a distribution per unit (DPU) of 1.83 sen. The distributable income is adjusted for gain in fair value of investment properties less deferred tax expenses, unbilled lease income receivables, management fees payable in units, and amortisation of capitalised financing costs. The Q4'25 income distribution is payable on May 30, 2025 to unitholders whose names appear in the Record of Depositors of AME REIT at the close of business on May 9, 2025.
Total income distribution for FY25 will amount to RM39.2 million, representing 99.99% of distributable income for the year and resulting in a DPU of 7.43 sen.
I REIT Managers Sdn Bhd CEO and executive director Chan Wai Leo said: 'AME REIT's Q4'25 performance reflects the positive impact of our accretive acquisitions, supporting stable rental income growth and consistent returns to unitholders. Our growth will be further fuelled by the ongoing purchase of five more fully-leased industrial properties in Iskandar Malaysia for a total purchase consideration of RM147.8 million from our sponsor AME Elite Consortium Bhd. The acquisitions, comprising 460,267 sq ft of ALA, are expected to be completed in phases between the third quarter of 2025 and the first quarter of 2026.'
Going forward, he added they are focused on continued expansion in the Malaysian industrial property market to optimise sustainable long-term returns.
AME REIT's portfolio includes 39 properties — 36 industrial units with 2.1 million sq ft of lettable space, and 3 industrial-related assets. Most are located in AME Group's industrial parks in Iskandar Malaysia.
As at March 31, 2025, AME REIT's properties under management are valued at RM773.5 million.

AME Elite, AME Reit get shareholders' nod for RM100.8mil acquisition
KUALA LUMPUR: AME Elite Consortium Bhd and AME Real Estate Investment Trust (AME Reit) have received approval from their respective shareholders and unitholders for a RM100.8 million deal involving three industrial properties in Johor. The properties, i-Park SAC 34, i-TechValley 35 and i-TechValley 36, are located in AME Elite's industrial parks in Iskandar Malaysia. They are single-storey factories with offices and support buildings, fully leased to long-term tenants. Selling the properties to AME Reit allows AME Elite to unlock capital for its growing industrial park projects while boosting its recurring income through its stake in AME Reit. AME Elite executive director and group chief executive officer Dylan Tan Teck Eng said the approval reinforces the strength of AME Elite's integrated model. "Completing this transaction unlocks capital for redeployment in our industrial park development plans, where we are advancing key initiatives like the Northern TechValley in Penang and our joint venture in Selangor with KLK Land. "Our agile approach allows us to capitalise on robust foreign and domestic direct investments, alongside strong demand for high-quality, integrated industrial space solutions, while strengthening our recurring income base via AME Reit," he said in a statement. I Reit Managers Sdn Bhd chief executive officer and executive director Chan Wai Leo said the fully-leased properties are strategically located within its sponsor's established industrial parks. He said this strengthened AME Reit's portfolio with quality, income-generating assets. "These acquisitions which are targeted to be completed within this financial year will contribute positively to AME Reit's earnings. "With an expanded portfolio, AME Reit is well-positioned to drive stable performance and deliver enhanced distributions to our unitholders," he added. AME Reit initiated its latest acquisitions in FY25, involving seven industrial properties totalling RM220.3 million. The latest approval obtained for the three properties in this RM100.8 million deal represents the second tranche of the transaction and are expected to be completed in phases from the third quarter of 2025 to the first quarter of 2026. Prior to this, three properties have already been successfully acquired by AME Reit in the first tranche this year amounting to RM119.5 million, namely i-Park SAC 23 & 24 in February, i-TechValley 46 in March and most recently, i-TechValley 34 in July. The remaining property from this first tranche, i-Park SAC 60 & 61, is targeted for completion in the fourth quarter of 2025.
