KIP REIT registers 2Q earnings boost on improved revenue, property appreciation

KUALA LUMPUR: KIP Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) recorded a sharply higher earnings quarter as it received a boost to its property valuations following an assessment of its properties. In a statement, the REIT said it recorded a revaluation surplus of RM61.8mil on the annual fair value assessment of 14 investment properties as at June 30, 2025, conducted by Rahim & Co. "The gain reflects appreciation across the portfolio, notable from newly acquired assets such as D'Pulze Shopping Centre, TF Value-Mart and the Cheras Jaya industrial property, as well as from matured KIPMalls including Kota Warisan, Masai and Tampoi, which recorded double-digit fair value gains," it said in a statement. In the fourth financial quarter ended June 30, 2025, KIP REIT recorded a 6.1% higher year-on-year (y-o-y) net property income (NPI) of RM28.1mil, while net profit was nearly five times higher at RM79.25mil. Revenue jumped 22.2% y-o-y to RM39.9mil on the back of contributions from 7 KIPMalls, D'Pulze Shopping Centre, TF Value-Mart, as well as its portfolio of four industrial properties, especially the Cheras Jaya asset. Portfolio occupancy stood at a robust 97.8% during the quarter. Over the entire financial year, the REIT's net profit surged to RM115.14mil from RM47.31mil in the previous year, while revenue rose to RM136.13mil from RM102.16mil in FY24. "We are pleased with our FY2025 performance, which underscores the effectiveness of our disciplined growth strategy and unwavering focus on delivering resilient, long-term returns. "The acquisition of high-yielding, community-focused assets such as D'Pulze and TF Value-Mart has not only strengthened our earnings base but also reinforced the defensive nature of our retail portfolio," said KIP REIT CEO Valerie Ong. The REIT Manager proposed a final income distribution of 2.018 sen per unit for 4QFY25, with book closure date fixed for Aug 8, 2025, and payment on Aug 29, 2025.

Mindspace REIT buys Hyderabad office asset for Rs 512 cr at 11% discount

The real estate investment trust (REIT) of Mindspace Business Parks has acquired Mack Soft Tech (MSTPL) in Hyderabad for Rs 512 crore. MSTPL is a holding company of Q-City, a 0.81 million square foot (msf) commercial asset in the city. Mindspace REIT bought the property at an 11.6 per cent discount to its independently assessed value. 'Securing the property at an 11.6 per cent discount to an independent valuation and an attractive 9.9 per cent cap rate demonstrates our disciplined capital deployment and commitment to long-term value for unitholders,' said Ramesh Nair, chief executive officer and managing director of the REIT. This is Mindspace REIT's first third-party asset addition, outside its portfolio parks. The transaction was done through Horizonview Properties, a special purpose vehicle. The acquired asset will be rebranded as The Square, 110 Financial District. The acquired asset has a leasable area of 0.81 msf, located in the Financial District of Hyderabad. Around 65 per cent of the asset is occupied. 'The asset stands to gain from Mindspace REIT's tenant network and asset enhancement expertise, driving quicker lease-up of the balance space,' said the REIT. Occupancy levels across Mindspace's assets stood at around 93 per cent as of Q4 FY25. With the acquisition, Mindspace REIT's Hyderabad presence is now over 16 msf in aggregate. Nair said, 'The Hyderabad market is India's hottest GCC hub, now home to more than 350 global capability centres and the nation's fastest-growing tech and BFSI talent base. With institutional-quality supply extremely tight and virtually no major investment-grade assets on the market, the timing is ideal. As Madhapur and HITEC City approach capacity, global occupiers are migrating westward in the city, and our acquisition positions us to capture this demand.' In Hyderabad, Madhapur rentals have risen to Rs 90 to Rs 100 per square foot due to limited supply and higher demand. Rental arbitrage with Madhapur positions Financial District to benefit from demand spillover, Mindspace said. Post-acquisition, Mindspace REIT's portfolio size will grow from 37.1 msf to 37.9 msf, while its gross asset value will increase from Rs 36,647 crore as of FY25 to Rs 37,143 crore. The loan-to-value ratio will increase from 24.3 as of FY25 to 25.1 per cent. The transaction will also increase the net asset value by Rs 1.8 per unit.

Mindspace REIT has carried out the acquisition through its asset special purpose vehicle Horizonview Properties. Following the acquisition, the asset will now be rebranded as 'The Square, 110 Financial District' and marks the REIT's strategic entry into one of Hyderabad's fastest-growing commercial micro-markets. The transaction is aligned with Mindspace REIT's strategy of disciplined expansion within its core markets. The asset located opposite the U.S. Consulate and within 1 km of the upcoming Wipro Circle metro station, offers robust last-mile connectivity. It is currently 65% leased and expected to benefit from Mindspace REIT's tenant network and asset enhancement capabilities to fill up the remaining space. Live Events 'We have just closed our first large external acquisition, a decisive milestone in Mindspace REIT's growth journey. The campus, located in the Financial District, further strengthens our foothold in Hyderabad. The market is India's hottest GCC institutional-quality supply extremely tight and virtually no major investment-grade assets on the market, the timing is ideal,' said Ramesh Nair, CEO & MD of Mindspace Business Parks REIT. The gross acquisition price stands at Rs 496 crore, implying a capital value of Rs 6,130 per sq ft, and represents an 11.6% discount to an independent valuation. The deal delivers an attractive 9.9% implied cap rate and is expected to add Rs 53.5 crore to the REIT's proforma net operating income on a stabilized basis, translating to a 2.6% boost to 2024-25 earnings. The transaction was funded through debt. Following the acquisition, Mindspace REIT's Hyderabad portfolio will grow to over 16 million sq ft, while its overall portfolio will increase from 37.1 million sq ft to 37.9 million sq ft. The Gross Asset Value will rise to Rs 37,143 crore from Rs 36,647 crore, and the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio will edge up to 25.1% from 24.3%. The value-accretive acquisition will raise the Net Asset Value by Rs 1.8 per unit. The deal strengthens Mindspace REIT's Hyderabad presence to over 16 million square feet, in aggregate. Hyderabad is one of India's most coveted commercial markets, characterized by high GCC demand, minimal institutional-grade vacancy, and strong tenant preference. With Hyderabad now hosting over 350 global capability centres and robust demand from tech and BFSI occupiers, Mindspace REIT is strategically positioned to benefit from the city's ongoing office space expansion westward. Supported by a talent pool and progressive state policies, the city continues to attract key global occupiers. The Financial District, once a government-led vision, has evolved into a prime business corridor with robust expressway connectivity, expanding metro access, and world-class infrastructure. Global organizations including Amazon, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Infosys , Wipro, TCS , and Honeywell already anchor in the micro-market. As unabsorbed demand shifts from Madhapur and HITECH City to Financial District and Gachibowli, due to limited supply and strong office demand, Hyderabad's Western Corridor is firmly positioned for the next decade of GCC growth.
