In the third quarter of FY23/24, Mapletree Logistics Trust MLT reported a 1.5% yearoveryear net property income NPI growth to $159.5 million. More excellent contributions from acquisitions in Japan, South Korea, and Australia, as well as from alreadyexisting properties in Singapore, were the leading causes of the higher NPI and the 2.1% YoY rise in gross revenue to $184 million.
