19.5% compared to 1Q FY19/20
NPI Margin
73.1%
8.0ppts compared to 1Q FY19/20
The decrease in NPI was due to:
- Rental reliefs granted to tenants of S$18.1 million to support our tenants
- Lower average retail rental rate at FW as a result of the COVID-19 situation since early 2020
- Lower average occupancy at GW
- Full-quarter'scontribution from mBAY POINT Makuhari ("MBP") and Omori Prime Building ("Omori") following their acquisitions completed on 28 February 2020
- Higher average exchange rate of HKD, RMB and JPY against SGD in FY20/21
The higher finance costs of S$1.2 million was mainly due to:
- Borrowings to partially fund the acquisitions of MBP and Omori
- Offset by lower net interest costs arising from lower interest rates on floating debts in FY20/21 and interest savings from the refinancing of borrowings completed in FY19/20
- As announced on 29 April 2020, the Manager has adopted half-yearly announcement of financial statements and has amended MNACT's distribution policy to make distributions on a half-yearly basis with effect from the start of FY20/21. The next financial results announcement and distribution will be for the six-month period ending 30 September 2020. Please refer MNACT's SGX-ST announcement dated 29 April 2020 titled "Change from Quarterly to Semi-Annual Distribution and Semi-Annual Reporting of Financial Results".
- Revenue is presented net of value added tax applicable to Gateway Plaza and Sandhill Plaza in China. Revenue is presented net of consumption tax applicable to the Japan Properties. Japan Properties includes the two office properties (MBP and Omori) located in Greater Tokyo, Japan which were acquired on 28 February 2020.

- Lower NPI for FW mainly due to rental reliefs granted and a lower average retail rental rate, partially mitigated by a higher average rate of HKD against SGD.
- Lower NPI for GW mainly due to a lower average occupancy rate and a lower average rental rate, partially mitigated by a higher average rate of RMB against SGD.
- Higher NPI for SP was mainly due to a higher average rental rate and a higher average rate of RMB against SGD, partially offset by a lower average occupancy rate.
- Higher NPI for JP was mainly due to the full-quarter contributions from MBP and Omori which were acquired in February 2020 and a higher average rate of JPY against SGD, partially offset by a lower
average occupancy rate.

Update on Festival Walk, Hong Kong SAR
Hong Kong SAR Retail Market
- Retail sales in April 2020 and May 2020 fell by 36.1% and 32.8% year-on- year respectively1 amid the evolving COVID-19 situation, weak labour market conditions and the ongoing travel restrictions.
- Retailers remained cautious and postponed long-term leasing negotiations amid the weak market.2
Festival Walk
- Leases were negotiated on competitive rates to stabilise occupancy rate, leading to the lower average renewal or re-let rental rate for 1Q FY20/21.
- Some of the COVID-19 social distancing measures in Hong Kong SAR had eased in early May 2020, and there was some improvement to the footfall at the mall.
- However, a recent resurgence of COVID-19 cases saw the authorities tightening social distancing measures in July 2020, with the latest round of measures effective from 29 July 2020 for at least one week.
- The uncertain COVID-19 situation and the US-China geopolitical tensions continued to unsettle the retail market.
- Rental reliefs were extended to retail tenants through to 2Q FY20/21.
- A number of marketing and promotional events were organised during 1Q FY20/21 to stimulate sales and support tenants (refer to Slide 15).

- JLL Property Market Monitor (June 2020).
- Two leases pre-terminated during 1Q FY20/21, after their parent groups closed all outlets in Hong Kong SAR.
- Average rental reversion is calculated based on the change in the effective rental rates of the new leases compared to the previous leases. It takes into account rent-free periods and step-up rental rates over the lease term (if any). It excludes rental rates for short-term leases that are less than or equal to 12 months as these are usually at a rental premium, and therefore not reflective of prevailing market rents.
- In view of the COVID-19 situation there has been a slight increase in the number of short term renewals with rental rates that trend lower. Taking into account these leases, the average rental reversion for Festival Walk for retail leases that were renewed or re-let in FY19/20 would have been -15%.
14 6. There are no office leases expiring in FY20/21 at Festival Walk.
Measures Taken to Manage the Impact from COVID-19 at Festival Walk
Marketing and Promotional Events to Encourage Shopper Spending
Partnership with Deliveroo helped improve delivery sales of F&B tenants.
Events held at the mall, such as car shows, remained popular among shoppers.
A series of promotions were launched, including gift redemptions and complimentary parking for shoppers.
Granted rental reliefs of S$17.9m
in 1Q FY20/21 to support our retail tenants at FW through this difficult period and sustain long-standing relationships.
An enhanced mobile app featuring a loyalty programme
has also been lined up to improve the retail experience and convenience of shopping at FW.

Update on Festival Walk, Hong Kong SAR
Update on Insurance Claims1

- To date, the Manager has received without prejudice interim payments of HK$145 million (approximately S$26 million) as partial payments on account of the estimated claims.
- The assessment of the full quantum of revenue loss and property damage recoverable from insurance claims remains underway.
- We continue to work closely with the insurers to pursue the insurance claims and will provide further updates when available.
- Insurance proceeds received for property damage is capital in nature and are not distributable.
- Insurance proceeds for the revenue loss from business interruption which are in excess of the distribution top-ups of S$32.9 million paid to Unitholders in 3Q FY19/20 and 4Q FY19/20, will be distributed to Unitholders.

Outlook
Gateway Plaza, Beijing
Outlook
Global economic growth1 is projected to shrink by 4.9% in 2020 compared to 2019, due to the sharp decline in trade, consumption and business activities triggered by the wider and deeper impact of COVID-19.
Hong Kong SAR2,3
- The retail environment remains difficult amid the evolving COVID-19 situation, weak labour market conditions and the ongoing travel restrictions.
- A recent resurgence of infections in the city saw the authorities
tightening social distancing measures in July 2020, with the latest round of measures effective from 29 July 2020 for at least one week. This is expected to impact retail sentiments. - A rise in vacancy in the shopping centres is expected as retailers continue to face challenges, forcing them to rationalise retail store networks.
Festival Walk
- Average renewal or re-let rental rate is expected to be lower going forward, compared to FY19/20.
- We will consider the need for continuing with rental relief measures as the impact of the COVID-19 continues to evolve.
Focused on creating a lifestyle destination for families, both young and old.
- Strategic location atop the Kowloon Tong MTR station.
- Diverse trade mix of more than 200 shops and a wide range of amenities.
- Frequent patronage by local consumers within the residential catchment of Kowloon Tong.
Continue to implement targeted promotions to drive shopper traffic to the mall, fine-tunetrade mix, and leverage on technology to enhance overall shopping experience.

Outlook
Beijing Office Market1
- Softening macroeconomic environment caused by geopolitical tensions, COVID-19 and increasingly competitive leasing strategies from office landlords in the market.
- Vacancy rates are expected to continue to rise while rents will trend downward for the foreseeable future.
Gateway Plaza
- Stabilising occupancy levels will remain our key priority.
Shanghai Business Parks2
- Current market sentiment has become more subdued.
- However, leasing demand is expected to remain resilient given the search for more cost-effective premises, improved connectivity, and the government's push to develop advanced manufacturing, technology and R&D sectors.
Sandhill Plaza
- Expected to remain resilient, underpinned by its high-quality specifications and rental affordability compared to the centralised office districts.

Outlook
Greater Tokyo Market
- With upcoming new supply and uncertainties brought about by the COVID-19 situation, vacancy rates in the Tokyo office market1 are likely to pick up going forward.
Japan Properties
- The Manager will focus on tenant retention to maintain a high level of occupancy and stability for the Japan Properties.
MON, Tokyo
MNACT Portfolio
- While working from home may be considered by office users in their future office space planning, physical offices and dedicated workspaces are expected to continue to be a necessity for the majority of businesses.
- We remain focused on proactive asset management to adapt to the changing market demands and preferences and to sustain the value of our office properties.
- Our office properties remain well-supported by a diverse tenant mix of multinational corporates and local companies and are strategically located in established office hubs.
- 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 volatilities, MNACT's performance in FY20/21 is expected to be lower than that in FY19/20.
- We will continue to explore accretive acquisitions in the North Asia market to grow and diversify MNACT's portfolio.

- Average rental reversion is calculated based on the change in the effective rental rates of the new leases compared to the previous leases. It takes into account rent-free periods and step-up rental rates over the lease term (if any). It excludes rental rates for short- term leases that are less than or equal to 12 months as these are usually at a rental premium, and therefore not reflective of prevailing market rents. However, in view of the COVID-19 situation, there has been a slight increase in the number of short term renewals with rental rates that trend lower. Taking into account these leases, the average rental reversion for Festival Walk for leases that were renewed or re-let in 1Q FY20/21 would have been lower at -15%.
- There were no office lease expiries at Festival Walk in FY15/16 and FY20/21.
- Sandhill Plaza was acquired on 17 June 2015. Thereafter, there were only two leases that were renewed or re-let in FY15/16 at 33%.
- Six of the Japan Properties (MON, HNB, TSI, ASY, SMB and FJM) were acquired on 25 May 2018 and two of the Japan Properties (Omori and MBP) were acquired on 28 February 2020. The operational performance of these properties is reported on a portfolio basis.

Five-Year Financial Summary
Gross Revenue | (S$m) | NPI | (S$m) | |||
DI | (S$m) | DPU1 | (cents) | ||||
1. For FY18/19 and FY19/20, full-year DPU is the sum of the 1Q, 2Q, 3Q and 4Q available DPU based on the number of issued units as at the end of the respective quarters. Prior to FY18/19, MNACT's distribution policy was on a semi-annual basis. From FY15/16 to FY17/18, full-year DPU is the sum of the first-half and second-half DPU paid to the Unitholders for the financial year based on the number of issued units as at the end of the respective half-year periods ending 30 September and 31 March. Full-year DPU, as shown in the full-year results announcements from FY15/16 to FY16/17 (FY15/16: 7.248
cents, FY16/17: 7.320 cents), was computed based on the income available for distribution for the year over the number of issued units as at the end of the year.
