Susceptibility to lessee’ performance along with occupancy and renewal risk
NRPL primarily generates cash flows from lease rentals. The group's ability to meet its repayment obligations will be dependent on the continued and timely flow of rentals as per the agreed terms under arrangement. The occurrence of events such as delays in receipt of rentals, or early exits/negotiation by lessee due to the latter's lower than expected business performance may result in disruption of cash flow streams thereby affecting NRPL's debt servicing ability. Any significant renegotiations by the lessees can adversely impact the cash flows for the group.
