CapitaLand Ascendas REIT to divest three Australian logistics properties for $64.2 mil

Units in CLAR finalized 1 cent much lower of 0.34% descending at $2.92 on Dec 20.

Assuming the proposed divestment had indeed been performed on Jan 1, 2022, the proforma impact on CLAR’s net property income (NPI) and distribution per unit (DPU) for the FY2022 ended Dec 31, 2022, would have led to a reduction of $3.9 million and 4 cents, each.

Complying with the completion, CLAR will certainly own 228 real properties consisting of 97 real properties in Singapore, 33 properties in Australia, 48 real estates in the USA and 50 real estates in the United Kingdom and Europe.

The proposed divestment, which CLAR states aligns with its positive possession monitoring method to enhance the condition of its portfolio and optimize returns for unitholders, is assumed to be finished in the first quarter of 2024.

The overall sale factor to consider for the three buildings amounts to $64.2 million (A$ 73.0 million) and exemplifies a costs of 6.2% over the total market assessment of the estates of $60.4 million as at Aug 31.

After deducting divestment expenses, remaining earnings from the revenue are expected to get $60.8 million and can be utilised for numerous uses consisting of funding focused financial investments, settling existing financial obligations, prolonging lendings to subsidiaries, paying for general business and business assets needs and making distributions to unitholders.

The management of CapitaLand Ascendas REIT (CLAR) has already released the recommended divestment of 3 logistics real properties in Queensland, Australia on Dec 20.
