Net property income for 1QFY23/24 grew by 1.5% quarter-on-quarter to S$130.8 million, which was mainly attributed to lower property operating expenses. The amount available for distribution to Unitholders and DPU rose by 3.1% and 1.8% quarter-on-quarter to S$89.9 million and 3.39 cents respectively.

Gross revenue and net property income for 1QFY23/24 increased by 1.7% and 0.7% year-on- year to S$170.6 million and S$130.8 million respectively. The contributions from new leases across various property clusters were partially offset by higher property operating expenses. However, the amount available for distribution to Unitholders fell by 2.5% year-on-year to S$89.9 million as the higher net property income was offset by higher borrowing costs. DPU for 1QFY23/24 fell by 2.9% year-on-year to 3.39 cents on the enlarged unit base as a result of the private placement on 25 May 2023 and distribution reinvestment plan for distributions from 3QFY21/22 to 3QFY22/23.

Entry into Japanese Data Centre Market

On 25 May 2023, MIT announced the acquisition of a newly built data centre in Osaka, Japan (the "Property") through the purchase of the trust beneficial interest at a purchase consideration of JPY52.0 billion4 (the "Proposed Acquisition"). The Proposed Acquisition will offer a strategic opportunity for MIT to diversify its data centre presence into Japan, one of the most developed data centre markets in Asia Pacific.

The Property is fully leased to an established data centre operator for about 20 years. It is leased on a net lease structure with minimal landlord operational obligations. The Property is progressively fitted out over four phases, with the first phase completed in November 2022. The Proposed Acquisition is expected to complete by the third quarter of 2023.

Mr Tham Kuo Wei, Chief Executive Officer of the Manager, said, "The proposed acquisition of a data centre in Osaka, Japan underscores our strategic focus of strengthening the portfolio through accretive acquisitions and diversifying our portfolio geographically. The addition of a high-quality data centre with a long-term lease to an established data centre operator will

improve the stability of MIT's income stream. We will press ahead with our portfolio rebalancing efforts as we navigate the macroeconomic headwinds."

Portfolio Update for 1QFY23/24

The average rental rate of the Singapore Portfolio increased to S$2.18 per square foot per month ("psf/mth") in 1QFY23/24 from S$2.16 psf/mth in 4QFY22/23. Positive rental revisions for renewal leases were achieved across most property segments in Singapore with a weighted average rental revision rate of about 5.3%. The average rental rate of the North American Portfolio also increased to US$2.41 psf/mth in 1QFY23/24 from US$2.40 psf/mth in 4QFY22/23.

Capital Management Update

During the quarter, MIT raised gross proceeds of about S$204.8 million through a private placement, which was about 4.5 times covered at the top end of the issue price range of S$2.212 per new unit.

On 27 June 2023, MIT issued two series of notes - JPY6.5 billion of 1.686% fixed rate notes due 2035 and JPY10.0 billion of 1.85% fixed rate notes due 2038. These were part of the financing plan to put in place JPY-denominated debt of long tenors that will provide a natural capital hedge for the Proposed Acquisition.

The aggregate leverage ratio as at 30 June 2023 stood at 38.2%.

Outlook

Global growth was projected to slow substantially to 2.1% in 2023 before a tepid recovery to 2.4% in 2024. Numerous risks, such as further global financial stress, persistent inflation, geopolitical tensions and conflict and social unrest could cause the global growth forecast to decline further5.

Increasing property operating expenses and borrowing costs could continue to exert pressure on distributions. The Manager will adopt cost-mitigating measures while focusing on tenant retention to maintain a stable portfolio occupancy level.
