Pavilion Real Estate Investment Trust (Pavilion REIT) reported stronger results for Q1 2026, with net property income rising 11.3% year-on-year to RM158.9 million. Distributable income grew 12.4% to RM110.3 million, supporting a higher distribution per unit (DPU) of 2.80 sen compared to 2.68 sen last year.

Gross revenue increased 7.8% to RM245.9 million, supported by improved leasing activity and sustained shopper traffic. Pavilion Bukit Jalil recorded a 6.4% increase in net property income contribution, while both flagship malls maintained healthy occupancy and leasing demand. Operating expenses rose slightly due to maintenance costs, but margins improved through tighter cost controls.

CEO Dato’ Philip Ho said, “Our flagship assets continue to capture consumer and tourism demand, positioning Pavilion REIT for sustainable growth.” The Visit Malaysia 2026 campaign, targeting 47 million tourist arrivals, is expected to further boost retail spending and footfall.
