Religare Health Trust's 3Q distributable income up 5.7%

Religare Health Trust (RHT)  posted a 3% decline in earnings for the three months ended Dec 31, 2015 to $11.2 million.

Distributable income in 3Q rose 5.7% to $15.3 million. The firm attributed this to improved forward Indian rupee/Sing dollar as a result of lower hedging costs and better spot rate, as well as higher net service fee and hospital income, which were partially offset by higher finance costs.

Revenue rose 5% to $35.9 million, boosted by a higher operating revenue from Fortis and higher hospital income from the two operating hospitals.

Religare recorded a foreign currency translation loss of $13 million in 3Q. This stemmed from the depreciation of the Indian rupee against the Sing dollar on the rupee-denominated interest receivables and realised loss from the settlement of forward contracts.

The counter closed 1.6% lower at 92.5 cents on Wednesday.
