DPU for 4Q FY19/20 and FY19/20 have been affected by the social unrests prior to the closure of Festival Walk mall between 13 November 2019 and 15 January 2020 and the impact arising from the subsequentCOVID-19 since early 2020. Please refer to paragraph 8 "Review of Performance" for further details.

MAPLETREE NORTH ASIA COMMERCIAL TRUST UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND FINANCIAL YEAR FROM 1 APRIL 2019 TO 31 MARCH 2020 AND DISTRIBUTION ANNOUNCEMENT

Introduction

Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust1("MNACT") was constituted in the Republic of Singapore pursuant to a Trust Deed dated 14 February 2013 (as amended). MNACT was listed on Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited ("SGX-ST") on 7 March 2013 (the "Listing Date") as a real estate investment trust. The principal investment strategy of MNACT is to invest, directly or indirectly in the Greater China region and Japan in a diversified portfolio of income-producing real estate which is used primarily for commercial purposes (including real estate used predominantly for retail and/or offices), as well as real estate-related assets.

The current portfolio of MNACT comprises eleven commercial properties in China,in Hong Kong SAR, and in Japan with a total lettable area of 5.2 million square feet. Their total book value is S$8,347.2 million as of 31 March 2020:

  1. Festival Walk, a landmark territorial retail mall and lifestyle destination with an office component in the Kowloon Tong area of Hong Kong. Festival Walk has been consistently ranked as one of the top ten shopping malls in Hong Kong (acquired on listing date);
  2. Gateway Plaza, a premierGrade-A office building with a retail podium located in the established and prime Lufthansa Area in Beijing, China (acquired on listing date);
  3. Sandhill Plaza, a premium quality business park development located at ZhangjiangHi-tech Park, within the Pudong New Area, Shanghai, China (acquired on 17 June 2015); and
  4. Japan Properties, three office buildings in Tokyo (IXINALMonzen-nakacho Building, Higashi- nihonbashi 1-chome Building, and TS Ikebukuro Building); an office building in Yokohama (ABAS Shin-Yokohama Building); and two office buildings in Chiba (SII Makuhari Building and Fujitsu Makuhari Building) (acquired on 25 May 2018). Another two office buildings, mBAY POINT Makuhari Building ("MBP") located in Chiba and Omori Prime Building ("Omori") located in Tokyo, were acquired on 28 February 20202. (collectively the "Japan Properties")

All these properties enjoy excellent connectivity via convenient access to major roads, expressways and subway lines, with quality tenants operating across diversified trade sectors.

The Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust Management Ltd. ("MNACTM" or the "Manager") aims to deliver stable and steady DPU growth to Unitholders, through actively managing and enhancing the properties, acquiring good quality income-producing commercial assets aligned with MNACT's investment mandate, and having in place an active capital management strategy to manage both interest rate and foreign exchange volatility. The Manager actively monitors MNACT's cash flow position and working capital requirements to ensure adequate reserves and liquidity to meet its financial obligations. The Manager also actively refinances MNACT's financial obligations so as to manages the debt maturity profile.

MNACT's distribution policy is to distribute at least 90.0% of its distributable income on a quarterly basis. However, in view of the rapidly evolving COVID-19 situation and with the significant uncertainty over its duration and severity, the Manager may use its discretion to amend the distribution policy.

Change from Quarterly to Semi-Annual Distribution and Semi-Annual Reporting of Financial Results

Following the amendments to Rule 705 of the Listing Manual of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited on the quarterly reporting framework which has taken effect from 7 February 2020, MNACT will adopt the announcement of financial statements on a half-yearly basis with effect from the financial year from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021 ("FY20/21"). The next financial results announcement will be for the six-month period ending 30 September 2020. Consequently, MNACT will also amend its distribution policy to make distributions on a half-yearly basis. The next distribution period will be for the six-month period ending 30 September 2020.

  • Formerly known as Mapletree Greater China Commercial Trust.
  • Please refer to MNACT'sSGX-ST Announcement dated 28 February 2020 titled "Issuance of Transaction Units to Sponsor's Nominee, and Completion of Acquisition of Two Office Properties in Greater Tokyo and Use of Proceeds".

MAPLETREE NORTH ASIA COMMERCIAL TRUST UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND FINANCIAL YEAR FROM 1 APRIL 2019 TO 31 MARCH 2020 AND DISTRIBUTION ANNOUNCEMENT

Notwithstanding the above, the Manager will continue its proactive engagement with unitholders including providing relevant and material updates between the announcements of half-yearly financial statements through SGX announcements.

Update on Festival Walk

As announced on 17 January 20203, Festival Walk had re-opened earlier than envisaged on 16 January 2020. Consequently, the Distribution Top-Ups were implemented over the two quarters, 3Q FY19/20 and 4Q FY19/20, so as to mitigate the cash flow impact on the distributable income payable to unitholders when the mall was closed from 13 November 2019 to 15 January 2020 in the absence of rental collections. It was also announced that there will be no further Distribution Top-Up for 1Q FY20/21.

For 4Q FY19/20, the Distribution Top-up is based on the estimated retail revenue for the period from 1 January 2020 to 15 January 2020, when the mall was closed.

The Distribution Top-Ups are funded from capital, and will be paid as capital income distributions to the unitholders. When the insurance claims proceeds are received, any amount which may exceed the Distribution Top-Ups will be paid as distributable income from operations to the unitholders.

Completion of Acquisition of Two Office Properties in Greater Tokyo, Japan4

The acquisition of two office properties in Greater Tokyo was completed on 28 February 2020. The Manager has waived the acquisition fee of S$3.5 million, to which it is entitled for the acquisitions of MBP and Omori, to demonstrate its support of the initiatives to achieve greater diversification of MNACT's portfolio.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan ("DRP")

As part of the Manager's proactive capital management efforts to maintain an optimal overall aggregate leverage for MNACT, the Manager will continue to apply the Distribution Reinvestment Plan ("DRP") for MNACT's distribution for the period from 28 February 2020 to 31 March 2020.

  • Please refer to MNACT's 3Q FY19/20 Results Announcement dated 17 January 2020.
  • Please refer to MNACT'sSGX-ST Announcement dated 28 February 2020 titled "Issuance of Transaction Units to Sponsor's Nominee, and Completion of Acquisition of Two Office Properties in Greater Tokyo and Use of Proceeds".

(i) Accounting for Leases

MNACT Group (the "Group") has adopted SFRS(I) 16 Leasesthat is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 April 2019.

16

MAPLETREE NORTH ASIA COMMERCIAL TRUST UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND FINANCIAL YEAR FROM 1 APRIL 2019 TO 31 MARCH 2020 AND DISTRIBUTION ANNOUNCEMENT

SFRS(I) 16 Leasesintroduces a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees. A lessee recognizes a right-of-use ("ROU") asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. Lessor accounting remains similar to the current standard (i.e to classify leases as finance or operating leases).

The Group recognizes its existing operating lease arrangements where the Group is a lessee as ROU assets with corresponding lease liabilities, and measures lease liabilities by applying a single discount rate to its leases.

The Group applied the practical expedients to recognize ROU assets equal to its lease liabilities on 1 April 2019 and recognition exemptions for short-term leases and leases of low value items in accordance with the principles of SFRS(I) 16 Leases.

The Group presents ROU assets as part of plant and equipment.

The nature of expenses related to those leases has changed as the principles under SFRS(I) 16 Leasesreplaces the straight-line operating lease expense with depreciation charge for ROU assets and interest expense on lease liabilities.

The adoption of the new SFRS(I) 16 Leasesdoes not result in material changes to the Group's accounting policies and has no material effect on the amounts reported for the current financial year.

(ii) Accounting for Lease Reliefs

The Group revised its accounting treatment with respect to the one-offshort-term rental or lease reliefs ("Lease Reliefs") with effect from 1 January 2020, following clarifications concerning the accounting requirements from International Accounting Standard Board. This revision was made on the bases that there are no changes in the scope of the leases nor the original terms and conditions of the leases. The Lease Reliefs are now recognised as a period charge in the period in which they are granted to the tenants ("period charge method") instead of their previously being amortised on the straight-line basis over the remaining lease terms of the tenancies ("amortization method"). The Group believes that the period charge method better reflects the purpose and effects of the Lease Reliefs.

The revision to the accounting treatment for the Lease Reliefs is applied prospectively from the date of change. As a result, revenue and profit attributable to the unitholders for 4Q FY19/20 are lower by S$6.1million and S$5.1million respectively, while the distribution adjustments are increased by S$5.1million.

There is no impact on the Group's financial statement for the year ended 31 March 2020 as well as MNACT entity level's financial statements for the fourth quarter and financial year ended 31 March 2020.

As the Lease Reliefs are recorded on a cash basis, the revision in accounting treatment will not have any impact on distributable income.

8. Review of Performance

a. Financial results FY19/20 vs FY18/19

Gross revenue decreased by S$54.2 million or 13.3% to S$354.5 million for FY19/20 compared to the corresponding last year. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to:

  1. rent reliefs granted to tenants at Festival Walk of S$17.8 million as a result of the social unrests prior to mall closure and the subsequentCOVID-19 impact post the re-opening of the mall, as well as the closure of the mall during 13 November 20193to 15 January 2020
  2. lower average occupancy at Gateway Plaza; offset by
  3. a full year's contribution from the six office properties in Greater Tokyo, Japan, that were acquired on 25 May 2018, and one month's contribution from the acquisitions of MBP and Omori on 28 February 20202; and
  4. the higher average rates of HKD and JPY offset by lower average rate of RMB against SGD.

For FY19/20, Festival Walk, Gateway Plaza, Sandhill Plaza and the Japan Properties contributed 55.1%, 22.9%, 7.1% and 14.9% (FY18/19: 62.1%, 21.4%, 6.1% and 10.4%) of the portfolio gross revenue respectively.

Property operating expenses decreased by S$2.7 million or 3.3% to S$77.0 million for FY19/20 compared to the corresponding last year. The decrease in property operating expenses was primarily attributable to:

  1. lower expenses at Festival Walk due to closure of the mall1from 13 November 2019 to 15 January 2020; offset by
  2. a full year's operations of the six office properties in Greater Tokyo, Japan that were acquired on 25 May 2018 and one month's operations of the acquisitions of MBP and Omori on 28 February 20204respectively; and
  3. the higher average rates of HKD and JPY offset by lower average rate of RMB against SGD.

Net property income for FY19/20 decreased by S$51.5 million or 15.7% to S$277.5 million, compared to the corresponding last year.

Net foreign exchange gain of S$5.1 million for FY19/20 (FY18/19: S$2.8 million) was due to the:

  1. exchange gain of S$1.9 million (FY18/19: S$3.8 million) from the partial settlement ofinter-company loans, which is mainly capital in nature and not distributable; and
  2. net realized exchange gains of S$3.0 million (FY18/19: loss of S$0.9 million) from the settlement of foreign currency contracts to hedge HKD, RMB and JPY distributable income.

Cushman & Wakefield Limited and Cushman & Wakefield K.K have performed a valuation of the investment properties as at 31 March 2020, and the net fair value losses amounting to S$17.9 million (FY18/19: gain of S$465.2 million), are attributable to the following:

  1. Festival Walk: Loss of S$46.5 million (FY18/19: gain of S$326.8 million); offset by
  2. Sandhill Plaza: Gain of S$14.2 million (FY18/19: S$50.4 million);
  3. Japan Properties (including MBP and Omori): Gain of S$14.1 million (FY18/19: S$4.7 million); and
  4. Gateway Plaza: Gain of S$0.3 million (FY18/19: S$83.3 million).

MAPLETREE NORTH ASIA COMMERCIAL TRUST UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND FINANCIAL YEAR FROM 1 APRIL 2019 TO 31 MARCH 2020 AND DISTRIBUTION ANNOUNCEMENT

Net loss in fair value of financial derivatives of S$4.1 million relates to the mark-to-market movement of currency forward contracts to hedge currency exposures of future HKD, RMB and JPY distributable income.

Finance costs increased by S$0.6 million compared to the corresponding last year. The major variances are due to:

  1. borrowings undertaken to partially fund the acquisition of the six office properties in Greater Tokyo, Japan, acquired on 25 May 2018 (S$0.6 million) and the acquisitions of MBP and Omori on 28 February 20205(S$0.3 million);
  2. the higher average rates of HKD and JPY offset by lower average rate of RMB against SGD (S$0.8 million); and
  3. lower net interest cost (S$1.1 million) due to interest savings from the refinancing of borrowings (S$3.4 million) offset by rising interest rates on floating debt (S$2.3 million).

Income tax expenses decreased by S$24.0 million or 39.0% to S$37.5 million for FY19/20 compared to the corresponding last year. The decrease is mainly due to the lower profit and lower deferred tax attributable to the net change in fair value of the investment properties.

After taking into account the distribution adjustments, including the Festival Walk Top-Ups6, the distributable income to Unitholders for FY19/20 decreased by 5.3% to S$227.9 million and the distribution per unit decreased by 7.4%, from 7.690 cents per unit to 7.124 cents per unit, compared to the corresponding last year.

b. Financial results 4Q FY19/20 vs 4Q FY18/19

Gross revenue decreased by S$27.2 million or 26.2% to S$76.8 million for 4Q FY19/20 compared to the corresponding period last year. The decrease in revenue was primarily due to:

  1. rent reliefs granted to tenants of Festival Walk of S$10.3 million as a result ofCOVID-19, as well as the closure of the mall from 1 January 2020 to 15 January 20207;
  2. lower average occupancy at Gateway Plaza; offset by
  3. contribution from the acquisition of MBP and Omori following the completion on 28 February 20201; and
  4. the higher average rates of HKD and JPY offset by lower average rate of RMB against SGD.

For 4Q FY19/20, Festival Walk, Gateway Plaza, Sandhill Plaza and the Japan Properties contributed 46.6%, 24.5%, 8.3% and 20.6% (4Q FY18/19: 61.4%, 20.8%, 5.8% and 12.0%) of the portfolio gross revenue respectively.

Property operating expenses decreased by S$0.1 million or 0.7% to S$19.9 million for 4Q FY19/20 compared to the corresponding period last year. The decrease in property operating expenses was primarily attributable to:

  1. lower expenses at Festival Walk due to closure of the mall from 1 January 2020 to 15 January 2020, before itsre-opening on 16 January 20203;
  2. the lower average rate of RMB offset by the higher average rate of HKD against SGD; and
  3. one month's operations at MBP and Omori following the completion of the acquisition on 28 February 20201.

Net property income for 4Q FY19/20 decreased by S$27.1 million or 32.2% to S$56.9 million, compared to the corresponding period last year.

Net foreign exchange gain of S$1.9 million for the period (4Q FY18/19: S$0.7 million) was due to the:

  1. exchange gain of S$0.8 million (4Q FY18/19: S$0.7 million) mainly from the partial settlement ofinter-company loans; which is mainly capital in nature and not distributable; and
  2. net realized exchange gains of S$1.1 million (4Q FY18/19: loss of S$33,000) from the settlement of foreign currency contracts to hedge HKD, RMB and JPY distributable income.

Net loss in fair value of financial derivatives of S$4.5 million relates to the mark-to-market movement of currency forward contracts to hedge currency exposures of future HKD, RMB and JPY distributable income.

Finance costs increased by S$0.3 million mainly due to borrowings to fund the acquisitions of MBP and Omori on 28 February 2020.

Income tax expenses decreased by S$20.6 million or 64.7% to S$11.2 million for 4Q FY19/20 compared to the corresponding period last year. The decrease is mainly due to the lower profit and lower deferred tax attributable to the net change in the fair value of the investment properties.

After taking into account the distribution adjustments including the Festival Walk Top-Up1, the distributable income to Unitholders for 4Q FY19/20 decreased by 18.2% to S$50.8 million and the distribution per unit decreased by 19.9%, from 1.956 cents per unit to 1.566 cents per unit, compared to the corresponding period last year.

c. Financial position as of 31 March 2020 vs 31 March 2019

Total assets at S$8,586.7 million as of 31 March 2020, was S$766.3 million higher compared to

31 March 2019 mainly due to:

  1. increase in investment properties by S$737.7 million from:
    • the acquisition of MBP and Omori of S$484.7 million;
    • net translation gain of S$258.1 million from the stronger HKD and JPY offset by weaker RMB; and
    • addition to the investment properties of S$12.8 million, of which S$4.1 million is the additions at Festival Walk; offset by
    • fair valuation loss of the properties of S$17.9 million;
  2. increase of S$29.0 million in cash and bank balances mainly due to net proceeds from borrowings for working capital offset by distributions to Unitholders;
  3. increase of trade and other receivables of S$8.3 million mainly due to refundable consumption tax; offset by
  4. decrease of S$9.1 million in financial derivatives assets due to movement in fair value.

Group total liabilities amounted to S$3,856.0 million as of 31 March 2020, S$625.8 million higher compared to 31 March 2019, primarily due to the following:

  1. increase in borrowings of S$504.4 million from
    • translation loss of S$123.7 million due to the stronger HKD and JPY offset by the weaker RMB;
    • net increase of borrowings (S$380.7 million) from bank loans (S$654.7 million), offset by repayment of bank loans and MTN (S$272.6 million) and the amortization of transaction costs (S$1.4 million).
  • Please refer to footnote 3 on Page 7.

21

MAPLETREE NORTH ASIA COMMERCIAL TRUST UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND FINANCIAL YEAR FROM 1 APRIL 2019 TO 31 MARCH 2020 AND DISTRIBUTION ANNOUNCEMENT

  1. increase in trade and other payables by S$67.0 million mainly due to
    • advanced distribution payable (S$34.2 million);
    • tenancy deposits, advanced rent and accrued expenses relating to MBP and Omori (S$22.4 million) following the completion of the acquisitions on 28 February 20201;
    • tenancy deposits from Festival Walk, Gateway Plaza, Sandhill Plaza and six office properties in Greater Tokyo, Japan (S$6.0 million);
    • accruals and payables for capital expenditures for Festival Walk (S$2.8 million) and others (S$1.6 million)
  2. Increase of S$38.4 million in financial derivatives liabilities due to movements in fair value; and
  3. increase in deferred tax liabilities of S$13.3 million mainly due to provision of current year taxes.

Accordingly, net assets attributable to Unitholders (excluding non-controlling interests of S$9.1 million) is S$4,721.5 million as of 31 March 2020, as shown in the Statement of Movement in Unitholders' Funds (refer to Paragraph 1(d)(i)).

  1. Variance from Previous Forecast / Prospect StatementMNACT has not provided any forecast to the market.
  2. Commentary on the competitive conditions of the industry in which the group operates and any known factors or events that may affect the group in the next reporting and the next 12 months
    According to the International Monetary Fund's latest outlook2, global economic growth is expected to contract by 3% in 2020 compared to 2019, as the impact of COVID-19 further weakened the world economy that was already affected by trade and political tensions.
    For Hong Kong SAR3, COVID-19 compounded the already challenging conditions of the retail market due to the social unrests, and economic and geopolitical headwinds. Retail sales4in February 2020 fell by 44.0%, the steepest year-on-year decline for a single month on record. Including January 2020, retail sales for the first two months of 2020 plunged by 31.8%. Amid the sharp decline in sales and footfall, some mall landlords have offered temporary rent relief of 30% to 50% on a rolling monthly basis3. Vacancies are expected to rise over the next 6 to 12 months, which will put more pressure on rents over the rest of the year3.
    Serving the lifestyle, shopping and dining needs of the neighbourhood community at Kowloon Tong, Festival Walk retail tenants comprise a diverse trade mix of more than 200 brands. To support tenants who were and continue to be adversely affected by the difficult retail environment as a result of the earlier social unrests and subsequently COVID-19, the Manager has offered rental relief during the period of social unrests, in 3Q FY19/20 and 4Q FY19/20 and through to 1Q FY20/21. The Manager will continue to monitor and assess the need for continuing relief for the subsequent months. The operating environment remains very difficult as it is uncertain when the COVID-19 situation will ease and when normalcy will return. Consequently, the business outlook of retailers remains pessimistic. The uncertainties

are expected to result in lower renewal or re-let rental rates going forward, compared to FY19/20.

The ongoing repair works at Festival Walk, including the repairs of the escalators and lifts, and installation of the permanent balustrades, are expected to be progressively completed by end FY20/21. The loss of retail and office revenue during the closure as well as property damage sustained are covered under the insurance policies. The assessment of the full quantum of revenue loss and property damage recoverable from insurance claims is continuing, and the Manager is working closely with the insurers and will provide further updates when available.

For the Beijing office market1, with the slowing economy and reduced demand exacerbated by trade tensions and COVID-19, together with new supply coming onstream, vacancy rates are expected to continue to rise while rents will further edge down. All efforts will continue to be made in marketing and leasing to stabilise rental and occupancy levels at Gateway Plaza.

For business parks in Shanghai 2, the electronics hardware, pharmaceuticals and the technology, media, and telecom ("TMT") sectors have shown resilient demand during the COVID-19 and are expected to continue to support Shanghai's transition to a global centre of innovation. Sandhill Plaza's performance is expected to remain resilient, underpinned by TMT tenants which are relatively less affected by the current situation.

With Japan's economy being impacted by COVID-19, more companies in the Tokyo office3market are holding off their capital expenditures plans and postponing leasing activities. The Manager will focus on tenant retention to maintain a high level of occupancy and stability in the Japan Properties.

Other than Festival Walk in Hong Kong SAR where the larger component is the retail mall, the rest of the assets held by MNACT in China and Japan are largely office properties with a small component of retail and F&B amenities. The extended split-work or work-from-home arrangements and slower resumption of office operations by tenants as a result of COVID-19 have impacted certain tenants such as those providing retail amenities and some of the small and medium enterprises ("SME") in China and Japan. While rental concessions have been offered to several of these affected tenants during 4Q FY19/20, the total amount involved was not significant. The Manager will continue to monitor market developments and will consider appropriate relief on a selective basis, where required.

In view of the heightened uncertainties and market volatility caused by COVID-19, with continued headwinds expected on revenue and occupancy levels of the MNACT portfolio, MNACT's performance in FY20/21 is expected to be lower than that in FY19/20.
