- income from Arshiya Warehouse 7, acquired in March 2022; and

In SGD terms, total property income increased by 9% to S$210.6 million. SGD appreciated by about 3% against the INR during the year.
Total property expenses increased by 22% to ₹2.5 billion (S$43.8 million) mainly due to higher operational & maintenance expenses and property management fees.
Net property income increased by 10% to ₹9.4 billion (S$166.8 million) due to the factors described above.

Other operating expenses decreased by ₹57 million (21%) to ₹215 million (S$3.8 million) mainly due to lower other trust and CSR expenses in FY 2022.
Finance costs increased by ₹838 million (30%) to ₹3.7 billion (S$64.8 million) mainly due to increase in borrowing level and interest rates.
Interest income increased by ₹53 million (2%) to ₹3.0 billion (S$53.3 million) mainly due to higher interest income from additional investments in GardenCity and BlueRidge 3, after discontinuance of interest income following the acquisitions of Arshiya Warehouse 7 and Industrial Facility in MWC.
Realised gain on derivative financial instruments of ₹1.4 billion (S$24.3 million) arose mainly from the settlement of foreign exchange forward contracts entered by the Group to hedge the foreign exchange exposure arising from the income repatriation from India to Singapore.
Realised exchange loss of ₹2.0 billion (S$35.4 million) arose mainly from settlement of SGD-denominated loans. Realised exchange gain or loss is recognised when borrowings that are denominated in currencies other than the INR are settled.
As a result, ordinary profit before tax was ₹6.9 billion in FY 2022, a decrease of 5% as compared to ₹7.2 billion in FY 2021. In SGD terms, ordinary profit before tax decreased by 7% to S$121.9 million.
Income tax expenses increased by ₹445 million (12%) to ₹4.2 billion (S$73.8 million) mainly due to higher deferred tax liabilities arising from annual revaluation; together with the higher income tax from increased net property income and interest income.
Distribution adjustments:
- Income tax expenses of ₹1.7 billion (S$30.8 million).
- Trustee-manager’s fees of ₹508 million (S$9.0 million) to be paid in units. The Trustee-manager has elected to receive 50% of its base fee and performance fee in units and 50%in cash; hence 50% of the fees are added back to the income available for distribution.
- Realised loss on settlement of loans of ₹544 million (S$9.6 million) was added back for distribution purpose. This pertains to refinancing of SGD-denominated loans that have not been hedged into INR.

The exchange gain/loss is realised when the borrowing matures, is prepaid, or swapped to INR denomination.
- Income due to non-controlling interests of ₹286 million (S$5.1 million) is deducted from income available for distribution.
Income available for distribution increased by 8% to ₹6.0 billion, mainly due to higher NPI and higher interest income from additional investments in GardenCity and BlueRidge 3; but partially offset by higher finance cost due to higher level of borrowing. In SGD terms, income available for distribution increased by 6% to S$105.7 million.
Income available for distribution per unit was ₹5.16 or 9.10 S₵. DPU was ₹4.64 or 8.19 S₵ after retaining 10% of income available for distribution, representing an increase of 8% and 5% in INR and SGD terms respectively.
