Singapore, 21 April 2021 - The Board of Directors of Mapletree Logistics Trust Management Ltd. ("MLTM"), manager ("Manager") of Mapletree Logistics Trust ("MLT"), is pleased to announce that for the three months ended 31 March 2021 ("4Q FY20/21"), MLT's amount distributable to Unitholders rose 18.9% year-on-year to S$92.6 million. This translates to a DPU of 2.161 cents on an enlarged unit base following the equity fund raising completed in 3Q FY20/21, which represents a year-on-year growth of 5.5%.

Gross revenue for 4Q FY20/21 increased 22.6% year-on-year to S$157.0 million, while net property income rose 19.1% to S$136.7 million. The robust performance was mainly due to higher revenue from existing properties, contributions from accretive acquisitions completed in FY19/20 and FY20/21, as well as contribution from the completed redevelopment project in Shanghai, Ouluo Logistics Park Phase 2. Overall growth was partly offset by rental rebates granted to eligible tenants who were impacted by COVID-19 and the recognition of allowance for doubtful receivables.

Accordingly, amount distributable to Unitholders for full year FY20/21 grew 10.4% year-on-year to S$333.1 million, while DPU gained 2.3% to 8.326 cents on an enlarged unit base.

Ms Ng Kiat, Chief Executive Officer of MLTM, said, "We had a busy year scaling up our regional network and competitive position, with the addition of 18 well-located modern logistics assets spanning over 10 million square feet across six countries. While there remains uncertainty over the pace of economic recovery, we believe our diversified and resilient portfolio will position us well to capitalise on favourable market trends and deliver value to Unitholders over the long term."

Portfolio Update

MLT's assets under management increased by S$1.9 billion year-on-year to S$10.8 billion as at 31 March 2021. The higher value was largely due to approximately S$1.6 billion in acquisitions and capital expenditure and S$184 million net appreciation in investment properties attributable mainly to properties in Hong Kong SAR, Japan and South Korea, partly offset by lower valuations in Singapore. Consequently, net asset value per unit of MLT rose 9.9% to S$1.33, from S$1.21 a year ago.

MLT's portfolio continued to achieve a stable and consistent performance. Portfolio occupancy improved from 97.1% last quarter to 97.5% due to higher occupancies in Hong Kong SAR, South Korea and China. In 4Q FY20/21, leases for approximately 241,700 sqm of space were renewed or replaced with a positive average rental reversion rate of 2.4%, contributed mainly by Japan, Vietnam, Hong Kong SAR and Malaysia. MLT's lease expiry profile remains well spread out with a weighted average lease expiry (by net lettable area) of 3.6 years.

Capital Management Update

During the year, MLT completed acquisitions in China, Vietnam, Korea, Japan, Australia and India and incurred capital expenditure on redevelopment and other building improvements totalling S$1.6 billion. In addition to bank loans, these investments were funded by diversified sources of funds including proceeds from equity fund raising of S$644 million, consideration units in MLT of S$300 million and issuance of JPY9.5 billion (~S$117 million) medium term notes.

Accordingly, total debt outstanding as at 31 March 2021 was S$4,226 million, translating to a gearing ratio of 38.4%. The weighted average borrowing cost for 4Q FY20/21 was stable at 2.2% per annum. Debt due in the coming financial year amounts to S$161 million or 4% of total debt. Based on the available committed credit facilities of about S$668 million, MLT has more than sufficient facilities to meet its maturing debt obligations.

Outlook

While there is increasing optimism about the global economy, the resurgence of COVID-19 infections and ongoing geopolitical and trade tensions may hamper the pace of economic recovery.

Overall leasing demand in MLT's markets is expected to remain resilient. In Singapore, the leasing market has stabilised as new supply tapers, while demand benefitted from e-commerce growth and stockpiling requirements. In Hong Kong SAR, the supply-demand balance for logistics space will likely remain stable supported by a low vacancy rate and the absence of new supply in 2021. China is expected to remain resilient as new supply of warehouse space is anticipated to be absorbed by growing demand driven by economic recovery and favourable structural trends. MLT's portfolio in Japan is underpinned by long leases and continues to provide stable income streams. These four markets account for approximately 78% of MLT's revenue.

The Manager will continue to focus on active asset management and strategic acquisition opportunities with a view to provide stable returns and value for Unitholders. As at 31 March 2021, MLT has a gearing ratio of 38.4% and a well staggered debt maturity profile with an average debt

duration of 3.8 years. Approximately 75% of MLT's total debt has been hedged into fixed rates, while
