On 26th April 2016, Parkway Life REIT announces its 1Q 2016 results. Distribution Per Unit (“DPU”) fell 7% to 2.99 cents from 3.21 cents. The fall in distributable amount was due to a missing one off divestment gains as compared in 2015.
Gross revenue grew by 8.6% and Net Property Income (“NPI”) grew by 8.5%. I will consider the result decent although DPU fell which we know it was due to a missing one off divestment gains.
