CapitaLand Retail China Trust: CRCT on Thursday posted a distribution per unit of 2.59 Singapore cents for its fourth quarter ended Dec 31, 2015, 4.4 per cent higher what it paid out a year ago.

Gross revenue rose 6.7 per cent to S$56.2 million, while net property income rose 5.2 per cent to S$35.3 million, thanks to rental growth mainly from CapitaMall Qibao and CapitaMall Saihan.

This translates to a distribution per unit (DPU) of 1.91 Singapore cents, up 4.9 per cent year-on-year.

RHT Trustee Manager on Wednesday said the higher distributable income in the third quarter of FY2016 was boosted by lower hedging costs and improved forward contract rates.
