PETALING JAYA: While Capitaland Malaysia Trust’s (CLMT) recent financial results surprised some analysts on the upside, most agree that the second half of the year will remain challenging for the group.
CGS-CIMB Research said CLMT’s performance in the first half of the year was underpinned by the two festive periods in the first quarter of 2022 (1Q22) and 2Q22 – Chinese New Year and Hari Raya.
“Retail sales were robust at 19% higher than the average pre-Covid 19 level, partially offsetting retail footfall, which stood at 22% below pre-pandemic levels,” it said.
“All in, the first half of 2022 (1H22) core net profit was above expectations, at 55% to 61% of our and consensus full-year forecasts,” said CGS-CIMB Research.

Kenanga Research in its report said with a recovery currently underway, shopper traffic soared 52% in 1H22 (although it still below the 2019 average) and tenant sales per sq ft is already above pre-pandemic level, CLMT hopes to ride the positive momentum and plans to raise occupancy rates.
“In terms of portfolio lease expiry profile, as a percentage of gross rental income, 26.4% and 34.9% are due for expiry this year and next year, respectively.
“Over the longer-term, it will be pursuing a diversification strategy to achieve a target of 20% asset under management in non-retail assets by 2025, starting with the maiden acquisition of a logistics warehouse in Sungai Jawi, Penang for RM80mil.”
CGS-CIMB Research said the recent RM80mil acquisition in Penang is the group’s first step in realising its asset diversification plans and it is estimating a gross rental income of RM6mil annually from it.
“We raise FY22 to FY24 earnings per share/distribution per unit by 14% to 20% to reflect stronger rental revenue and higher margins,” the reseach house said.
CLMT reported a 42% increase in net property income (NPI) to RM37.43mil for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022 from RM26.43mil in the corresponding quarter a year earlier, boosted by retail sentiment recovery and as businesses of its tenants gradually made a comeback.
