CAPITALAND subsidiary Ascott Residence Trust (ART) HMN on Tuesday reported a 95 per cent increase in its distribution per stapled security (DPS) to 2.05 Singapore cents for the first-half ended June 30, from 1.05 cents for the year-ago period.
However, the increase was mainly due to one-off gains in distributable income.
Revenue fell 11 per cent to S$185 million, on the back of a S$13.1 million decline in revenue from the divestment of six properties. Further, a S$14 million drop in revenue was recorded from its existing portfolio from the impact of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.
