MREIT, the real estate investment trust of ultra bilyonaryo Andrew Tan’s Megaworld Corp., chalked up distributable income of P639 million in the first quarter, up 18 percent on new contributions from recent acquisitions.
The company reported a net income of P687.2 million on the back of P901.6 million in revenues.
Last December, four income-generating properties valued at P9.1 billion were infused into MREIT. This expanded MREIT’s portfolio GLA by 25 percent from 224,000 square meters during its initial public offering to 280,000 sqm with occupancy rate averaging at 96 percent, with five office assets registering 100 percent occupancy.
As of end-March, the company’s portfolio value stood at P59.3 billion
“Our solid performance in the first quarter of 2022 affirms our efforts to sustain MREIT’s growth via a combination of organic and inorganic means. The combination of rent escalation, steady occupancy, and implementation of our acquisition plans puts us on track to deliver on our targeted returns for our shareholders in 2022,” said Kevin L. Tan, president and CEO of MREIT.
The company plans to declare dividends amounting to P1 per share this year, six percent higher than the original plan.
MREIT said an additional four prime properties worth P5.3 billion will be added to its investment portfolio. Once completed, the acquisition will boost MREIT’s portfolio GLA by 16 percent to 325,000 sqm.
