Mapletree Logistics Trust Management Ltd.

Singapore, 30 April 2026 - Mapletree Logistics Trust Management Ltd., as manager (the "Manager") of Mapletree Logistics Trust ("MLT"), announced today MLT's results for 4Q FY25/26 and full year FY25/26.

Ms Jean Kam, Chief Executive Officer of the Manager, said: "Despite a challenging operating environment marked by macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, MLT delivered a resilient performance for the year. Our results were supported by stable same-store performance and contribution from our redevelopment project. Through disciplined capital management, proactive refinancing and prudent currency hedging, we mitigated forex volatility and the income impact from divestments."

"In light of the ongoing Middle East conflict and broader supply chain uncertainties, we remain vigilant and focused on execution. Our immediate priorities are to preserve portfolio stability through tenant retention, prudent cost management and active lease management, while continuing our portfolio rejuvenation strategy to unlock value and position MLT for sustainable long-term growth."

Financial Highlights

On a year-on-year ("y-o-y") basis, gross revenue and net property income ("NPI") for 4Q FY25/26 were 1.7% and 0.9% lower respectively, primarily driven by absence of contributions from divested properties and weaker regional currencies. Excluding the impact of divestments and currency volatility, MLT would have registered growth in revenue and NPI of S$3.6 million and $4.1 million respectively, attributable to higher contributions from the existing portfolio and contribution from the newly completed redevelopment project in Singapore. At the distribution level, the effect of currency volatility was largely mitigated through hedging.

Borrowing costs were 3.0% lower y-o-y largely due to proactive refinancing efforts and paying down of debt with proceeds from divestments. This helped cushion the absence of divestment gains, which was discontinued in FY25/26 but had contributed S$7.7 million in 4Q FY24/25. Accordingly, the amount distributable to Unitholders fell 6.1% y-o-y and DPU was 7.0% lower on an enlarged unit base. Excluding divestment gains, DPU from operations rose 0.9% compared to the prior year.



Similarly, for the 12 months to 31 March 2026, the decline in gross revenue and NPI of 2.6% and 2.4% respectively reflects the impact of divestments combined with regional currency weakness. Excluding these impacts, MLT's portfolio would have reported higher revenue and NPI by S$6.1 million and S$5.4 million respectively, anchored by resilient same-store performance and new contribution from the redevelopment project.

Absent the distribution of divestment gains which contributed S$27.0 million in FY24/25, the amount distributable to Unitholders fell 8.9% to S$370.1 million, and DPU was 9.8% lower at 7.262 cents. Excluding divestment gains, DPU from operations was 3.4% lower y-o-y.

Portfolio Update

As at 31 March 2026, MLT's aggregate portfolio property valuation for 175 properties was S$13.1 billion, 1.6% or S$0.2 billion lower y-o-y. The decline was mainly due to divestment of six properties totalling S$99 million during the year and currency translation loss of S$325.0 million, partially offset by net fair value gain on existing assets, a completed redevelopment project, capital expenditure and an acquisition. The S$47.8 million net fair value gain is attributable to gains in all markets except China and Hong Kong SAR.

During 4Q FY25/26, the Manager expanded its presence in India with the accretive acquisition of a freehold, Grade A warehouse in Mumbai for about INR 3,888 million (S$53.2 million). This marks a strategic move to strengthen MLT's presence in one of Asia's fastest growing logistics markets.

MLT's portfolio continued to achieve healthy operational performance. Portfolio occupancy improved from 96.4% last quarter to 96.9% as at 31 March 2026 due to higher occupancies in Singapore, China, Hong Kong SAR, Japan and South Korea, while the other four markets maintained full occupancy. The weighted average lease expiry of the portfolio (by net lettable area) was 2.5 years. The portfolio achieved an average positive rental reversion of about 4.2% in 4Q FY25/26 excluding China, and 3.3% including China. China's rental reversion improved from -2.2% in the previous quarter to -2.0% this quarter.



Capital Management Highlights

Total debt outstanding increased by S$29 million quarter-on-quarter to S$5,489 million as at 31 March 2026. This was primarily due to additional loans drawn to fund acquisition and capital expenditure, offset by lower net translated foreign currency loans mainly attributable to the depreciation of Japanese Yen, Hong Kong Dollar and US Dollar. Accordingly, aggregate leverage declined slightly to 40.6% as at 31 March 2026. Through proactive capital management efforts, the weighted average borrowing cost for 4Q FY25/26 was maintained at 2.6% per annum, while the average debt duration was around 3.6 years.

In line with its proactive capital management approach, approximately 75% of MLT's income stream for the next 12 months has been hedged into Singapore Dollar and around 83% of total debt has been hedged into fixed rates.

Commitment to Sustainability

The Manager made notable progress towards MLT's 2030 carbon neutrality goal for Scope 1 and 2 emissions, aligned with the Mapletree Group's long-term goal of net zero emissions by 2050.

A key milestone was reached this year where Malaysia, in addition to China and Hong Kong SAR, achieved carbon neutrality for Scope 2 market-based emissions, representing a significant step in MLT's decarbonisation pathway.

In FY25/26, the Manager rolled out eight new rooftop solar projects in Singapore, China, Malaysia and Japan, contributing to a 24% y-o-y increase in self-funded solar capacity to 58.9 MWp. Including third-party funded projects, MLT's total installed solar capacity now stands at 131.8 MWp, the largest among S-REITs reported to-date.

In addition, green certifications were attained for another 15 properties, raising the proportion of green certified space (by gross floor area) to 66%, up from 56% last year.



Outlook

The global economy is navigating a period of uncertainty, as geopolitical conflicts and high energy prices fuel growth concerns and volatility in currencies and interest rates.

For MLT, the immediate impact of elevated oil prices has been limited as net electricity costs account for less than 2% of total property expenses. Higher borrowing costs and currency volatility are expected to continue, weighing on MLT's financial performance. Leasing activity has remained stable so far, supporting a high portfolio occupancy rate of 96.9% and resilient operational performance.

With the Middle East crisis evolving, the Manager is closely monitoring for second-order effects that could influence broader economic sentiment and leasing demand. The Manager remains vigilant and continues to prioritise healthy occupancy, rental stability and cost efficiency, while actively pursuing accretive acquisitions, asset enhancements and selective divestments. Supported by disciplined capital management to mitigate currency and interest rate risks, MLT remains well-positioned to navigate through uncertain times.

Distribution to Unitholders

MLT will pay a distribution of 1.819 cents per unit on 23 June 2026 for the period from 1 January 2026 to 31 March 2026. The record date is 11 May 2026.

Results Briefing

The Manager will be hosting a results briefing on 30 April 2026, 6.00 PM (Singapore time). Live audio webcast of the briefing will be available at the following link:
