Frasers Property Industrial REIT Management (Thailand) in its capacity as the REIT manager of FTREIT, on Monday announced FTREIT's total income of Bt694.5 million for the third quarter of its fiscal year 2019, an increase of 4 per cent. Net investment income rose 12 per cent to Bt446.3 million from Bt399.2 million for the second quarter of fiscal year 2018 (Apr – Jun'18).


The increase took into account contributions from FTREIT’s asset acquisition value of Bt3.6 billion from Frasers group on August and December 2018. In additional, occupancy rate increased from 79 per cent (as of June 30, 2018) to 82 per cent (as of June 30. 2019).
In terms of operating performance for the first nine months of FY2019 (October 1, 2018-June 30, 2019), FTREIT's total income was Bt2.08 billion, a 40 per cent increase over the same period last year. Net investment income for 9-month period was Bt1.33 billion, an increase of 42 per cent.
The growth was mainly derived from increasing rental and service income from transfer assets from 3 PFPOs – TFUND, TLOGIST and TGROWTH in December 2017 and acquisition of additional assets in August and December 2018, according to the company reports.
Peerapat Srisukont, managing director of Frasers Property Industrial REIT Management (Thailand), noted that the company was focused on delivering sustainable growth through its strong asset management by maintaining high renewal and occupancy rates.
