Keppel DC REIT’s DPU rises 13.2% to 2.833 cents in Q1

Distributable income climbed 20.7% to $74.6m, supported by acquisitions and portfolio gains.

Keppel DC REIT posted a distribution per unit (DPU) of 2.833 cents for the first quarter (Q1) of 2026, up 13.2% from 2.503 cents a year earlier, according to its operational update on 16 April.

Distributable income rose 20.7% year on year (YoY) to $74.6m from $61.8m in Q1 2025.

Gross revenue increased 18.4% to $121.0m, whilst net property income climbed 19.4% to $105.2m.

The REIT said higher distributable income and DPU were driven by stronger portfolio performance, alongside contributions from acquisitions including Tokyo Data Centre 3 and additional interests in Keppel DC Singapore 3 and 4.

This was partially offset by higher finance costs, which increased 20.8% due to acquisition-related borrowings drawn in Q4 2025.

Portfolio occupancy stood at 95.6% as at 31 March, slightly lower than 95.8% in the previous quarter, whilst portfolio weighted average lease expiry (WALE) was 6.5 years.

Aggregate leverage declined to 35.1%, down 20 basis points from end-2025, whilst the average cost of debt stood at 2.6% for Q1 2026.

The trailing 12-month interest coverage ratio was 7.2 times, compared with a higher level in the prior period.

Total debt stood at about $2.4b, with the REIT maintaining a well-staggered maturity profile and a weighted average debt tenor of 3.3 years.

The REIT said around 6% of rental income is due for renewal annually in 2026 and 2027, with ongoing portfolio optimisation and selective asset repositioning.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
