SINGAPORE, 23 OCTOBER 2025Frasers Centrepoint Asset Management Ltd. ("FCAM" or the "Manager"), the manager of Frasers Centrepoint Trust ("FCT" or the "Trust"), is pleased to report a DPU of 6.059 cents for the six-month period from 1 April 2025 to 30 September 2025 ("2H25"). This brings the total DPU for the financial year ended 30 September 2025 ("FY25") to 12.113 cents. The books closure date for the 2H25 DPU is 5.00 p.m. on 3 November 2025, and the payment date is 28 November 2025.
Mr Richard Ng, Chief Executive Officer of FCAM, said, "FCT has delivered another strong set of results for FY25, reflecting the resilience of our suburban retail portfolio and the success of our asset management strategies. In FY25, FCT completed the $1.17 billion acquisition of Northpoint City South Wing, consolidating our ownership of the entire Northpoint City and cementing our position as Singapore's largest suburban retail mall owner.
Complementing this was the divestment of Yishun 10 Retail Podium for $34.5 million, demonstrating our proactive approach to portfolio reconstitution. Tampines 1 completed its asset enhancement initiative ("AEI") in August 2024 while the AEI at Hougang Mall is progressing well with over 80% leasing pre-commitment as we work towards completion by September 2026.
Looking ahead, we see further opportunities to enhance our assets through other AEIs and portfolio initiatives. Supported by Singapore's resilient suburban retail sector, FCT's enlarged retail footprint, disciplined capital management and commitment to sustainability position us to continue delivering stable performance and sustainable long-term value to our unitholders."

Strong FY25 performance and financial position2H25 gross revenue rose 14.3% y-o-y to $205.2 million and net property income ("NPI") was 12.0% higher at $144.3 million. FY25 gross revenue was 10.8% higher y-o-y at $389.6 million and NPI increased 9.7% to $278.0 million. The increases were underpinned by contributions from Northpoint City South Wing following the completion of its acquisition in May 2025 and Tampines 1 following the completion of its AEI in August 2024, as well as broad-based improved performance in revenue and NPI across the portfolio.
FCT's financial position remains healthy with aggregate leverage at 39.6% as at 30 September 2025, compared with 42.8% as at 30 June 2025. The average cost of borrowing in 4Q25 declined to 3.5% from the peak of 4.0% in 1Q25, with the full year cost of borrowing at 3.8%. Interest coverage ratio as at 30 September 2025 improved to 3.46 times, from 3.39 times as at 30 June 2025.
Steady operating metrics underpinned by resilient rental reversion, tenants' sales and occupancyFCT's retail portfolio committed occupancy edged down from the previous quarter to 98.1% due to the exit of Cathay Cineplexes at Causeway Point and Century Square. Excluding Cathay Cineplexes, portfolio committed occupancy held constant at 99.9%. The portfolio registered a healthy rental reversion of +7.8%2 for FY25 (on an average-to-average basis). Shopper traffic in FY25 grew 1.6%2 y-o-y and tenants' sales rose 3.7%2 y-o-y. The average occupancy cost for the retail portfolio remains healthy at 16.1%, offering capacity for additional rental growth.
The AEI at Tampines 1 was successfully completed in August 2024 with return on investment exceeding its target of 8% and is contributing positively to the portfolio. The AEI at Hougang Mall, which commenced in April 2025, is progressing well and on track for completion by September 2026.
In FY25, FCT welcomed 76 new-to-portfolio brands across its malls, underscoring FCT's proactive approach in curating vibrant retail offerings. They include Hakka Yu at Northpoint City, So Do Fun and Bolon at Waterway Point, Wingstop at White Sands, A Hot Hideout at NEX and Fore Coffee at Tiong Bahru Plaza.
Prudent capital management with stronger green financing profileFCT maintained a healthy capital position in FY25, further diversifying its funding sources and stepping up its green financing initiatives. In October 2024, FCT secured $214 million in green loans, followed by $480 million in green club loan facilities in May 2025. In March 2025, the Trust issued $80 million fixed-rate green notes due 2032 under its Sustainable Finance Framework, with proceeds earmarked to finance eligible sustainable projects and assets. With these initiatives, the proportion of green loans in FCT's borrowings increased to 90.1% as at 30 September 2025, up from 82.8% the same period last year.
During the year, FCT also raised $421.3 million through a private placement and preferential offering and issued $200 million in perpetual securities to fund the acquisition of Northpoint City South Wing and repay debts.
Aggregate appraised value of portfolio up 16.8%3The aggregate appraised value of FCT's portfolio rose by approximately $1.2 billion or 16.8% to $8.2 billion, driven by the addition of Northpoint City South Wing and stronger performance. The capitalisation rates used by the independent valuers remained unchanged from the previous year.

Progress on our ESG commitmentsIn recognition of its efforts towards sustainability, FCT was awarded the Regional Sector Leader (Listed) in the Asia, Retail category in the 2025 GRESB Real Estate Assessment, maintaining its 5-Star rating for the fifth consecutive year. It was also ranked 6th in the REIT & Business Trust category in the Singapore Governance & Transparency Index 2025.
The implementation of Singapore's first-of-its-kind circular economy solution for food waste management saw the roll-out of the WasteMaster food waste valorisation system across five of FCT's malls, contributing approximately 258,000 kilograms of food waste reduction in FY25, equivalent to over 1.6 tonnes of carbon emissions avoidance.
FCT continues to advance inclusivity and community engagement through various initiatives. Under Frasers Property Singapore's Inclusion Champions Programme, 81 shops offer 'calm hours' to support persons with sensory needs, with 110 designated as dementia go-to points. As part of the "Our Love Letter to Singapore" SG60 community campaign, a total of $200,000 was raised and donated across the Group in support of Caregivers Alliance and SG Enable through Community Chest. Shoppers and tenants were also actively rallied during the campaign, fostering a strong sense of shared purpose and community spirit.
OutlookThe Manager expects the retail market to stay well supported by resilient demand, underpinned by population growth, rising household incomes and supportive government schemes. FCT's malls, with their strong focus on essential services offerings, are well-positioned to benefit from this demand. The limited supply of new retail space in Singapore will continue to underpin the sector's stability and growth.
