YTL
Hospitality Real Estate Investment Trust (YTL REIT) |
YTL Hospitality REIT, a trust
that owns and leases hotel properties across Malaysia, Japan, and Australia,

income and stable operating costs. In Q4 FY2024, the REIT recorded a net
profit of RM76 million, marking a 10.8% increase compared to RM68.6 million
in the previous quarter. This growth was driven by higher occupancy and room
rates in its Australian portfolio, particularly in Sydney and Brisbane, where
tourism rebounded and major events boosted demand. Additionally, the renewal
of lease terms for JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur contributed to higher rental
payments. The REIT also benefited from new rental income generated by
refurbished AC Hotels in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Kuantan, while AC Hotel
Ipoh began contributing from April 2025. Cost control measures helped
preserve margins, supporting the overall profit increase |
