Singapore, 22 January 2018 - The Board of Directors of Mapletree Logistics Trust Management Ltd.

The improvement in results was underpinned by a stable performance from existing properties as well as contributions from accretive acquisitions. Overall growth was partially offset by the absence of contributions from three divestments and one of two blocks under redevelopment in Ouluo Logistics Centre, China.

For the nine months year-to-date FY17/18, amount distributable to Unitholders grew 10.2% year-on-year to S$153.7 million, while DPU gained 1.8% to 5.681 cents.

Ms Ng Kiat, Chief Executive Officer of MLTM, said, "MLT has continued to show steady positive performance across the quarters. The rejuvenation of our portfolio has gained momentum with the addition of assets of better quality specifications and higher value tenants. We expect to continue to build on this momentum so as to deliver long term value to our Unitholders."

Portfolio Update

The Manager continues to focus on improving returns from existing properties through active asset management. Portfolio occupancy improved from 95.8% in the previous quarter to 96.2% due to higher occupancies in Hong Kong, South Korea and Malaysia. The portfolio achieved an average rental reversion of about 2% for the quarter, contributed mainly by Hong Kong and Vietnam.

In Singapore, the redevelopment of 76 Pioneer Road was completed in November 2017. The modern, 5-storey ramp-up facility has a gross floor area of 72,000 square metres, representing a 1.8 times increase from before. In Shanghai, the redevelopment of Ouluo Logistics Centre is ongoing with Phase 1 scheduled for completion in 2Q FY18/19.

Following the completion of the acquisition of Mapletree Logistics Hub Tsing Yi in Hong Kong and the divestment of Senai-UPS in Malaysia, MLT's total number of investment properties stands at 124 with a total value of S$6.2 billion.

Capital Management Update

MLT's total debt outstanding increased by S$553 million quarter-on-quarter to S$2,399 million as at 31 December 2017. This was largely due to incremental borrowings drawn to fund acquisition and

asset enhancements, partly offset by lower translated debt due to the appreciation of SGD against AUD and JPY. As at 31 December 2017, MLT's aggregate leverage was 37.8%.

The weighted average borrowing cost for 3Q FY17/18 was stable at 2.3% per annum with about 78%

of MLT's total debt hedged into fixed rates. To mitigate the impact of foreign exchange volatilities on distribution, more than 80% of MLT's income stream for FY17/18 has been hedged into or is derived

in Singapore dollar.

In line with its proactive capital management approach, approximately S$66 million of foreign currency loans were extended ahead of maturity in FY18/19 by eight years. Consequently, all refinancing requirements in FY18/19 have been completed. MLT's average debt duration stood at about 4.6 years as at 31 December 2017.

Outlook

The economic outlook for Asia is improving alongside the firming in global growth. As a portfolio, the Manager continues to see sustained leasing activities across its diversified markets supporting stable rental and occupancy rates. However, in Singapore, the market continues to face pressure from a high supply of warehouse space.

The Manager remains focused on maintaining high occupancy rates by actively managing leases due for renewal. After taking into account the expiring leases that have been replaced or renewed, the Manager is actively working on the balance of expiring leases representing 4% of the portfolio (by net lettable area).

In addition, the Manager continues to pursue opportunities for strategic acquisitions and asset enhancements to improve the quality of MLT's portfolio.
