Portfolio Occupancy

Overall portfolio occupancy was at 96.3% as at 31 December 2012. The overall occupancy rate was recorded to be lower than the preceding year due to the addition of the two Kedah shopping centres. Since the REIT has just completed its acquisition, improvement plans has yet to be fully implemented at the new centres. The lower occupancy rates provide opportunity for growth in coming financial years. The earlier shopping centres, namely Subang Parade, Mahkota Parade and Wetex Parade have all maintained high occupancy rates. The slight fluctuation in the occupancy rates is reflective of the tenant remixing exercises that ensure the shopping centres keep up with the consumer trends.

Portfolio Tenancy Expiry Profile

For the year 2013, a total of 190 tenancies will expire, representing approximately 19% of NLA and 29% of monthly rental income as at 31 December 2012. Our tenancy agreement typically reflect the tenancy terms of 3 years, as per the current market practice in Malaysia.

For the year 2015, the proportion of tenancies expiring is higher due to the tenancy structure in Landmark Central. As the shopping centre was newly opened in 2009, with the standard tenancy terms of 3 years, majority of its tenancy expired in 2012 and subsequently 2015 after the renewals. Hektar has also secured options-for-renewal with the anchor tenants.

Portfolio Tenancy Provisions

As at 31 December 2012, turnover rent provisions were present in approximately 61% of the tenancies in the portfolio. Step-up rent provisions were present in approximately 30% of tenancies within the portfolio.

As the practice of turnover rent and step-up rent has yet to be incorporated at Central Square and Landmark Central, the portfolio average for the provisions is reported to be lower. Excluding the effects of the two new malls, the turnover rent provision and step-up rent provision will be 88% and 44% of the tenancies respectively.

A turnover rent provision allows for rent calculated as a proportion of annual turnover of the tenant's business. Turnover rent is paid to the REIT if it exceeds the base rent specified in tenancy agreements on an annual basis. A step-up rent provision is specified in tenancy agreements as a pre-determined increase in rent at defined intervals during a tenancy agreement, typically each year and forms the base rent of any tenancy agreement.
