PETALING JAYA: IGB Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) saw its net profit for the first quarter ended March 31,2021 fall by some 36% year-on-year (y-o-y) due to the continued effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“The lower gross revenue, net property income and profit after taxation are mainly due to the rental support provided to tenants, lower car park income and higher allowance for impairment of trade receivables arising from the Covid-19 pandemic and resultant movement control orders, ” it said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia.
