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. The rise was, however, somewhat offset by worse performance in China and the lack of income from selling or redeveloping assets.

Revenue and NPI would have increased by 4.8% and 4.1% YoY, respectively, on a constant currency basis. Read More..
