Keppel DC Reit's NPI increased 37.6% to $125m in 2017

Thanks to acquisitions of data centres in Berlin, Milan and Singapore.

Keppel DC Reit has announced an increase in its net property income (NPI) by 37.6% YoY, rising from $90m in 2016 to $125m in 2017.

A rise in its NPI was caused by acquisitions of KDC DUB 2, KDC SGP 3 and Milan DC and the absence of a one-off net property tax refund at KDC SGP 1 and KDC SGP 2 in FY 2016, increasing its property operating expenses to $13.9m in FY 2017.

Further, gross rental income increased by 38.6% YoY, from $97.2m in 2016 to $134.6m in 2017. This was mainly due to acquisitions of KDC DUB 2, Milan DC, Cardiff DC, and the 90% interest in KDC SGP 3. Higher variable income from KDC SGP 1, and the absence of non-cash downward adjustment for the straight-lining of rental income at Almere DC also contributed to the increase in GRI.

Gross revenue rose by 40.3% YoY, from $99m in 2016 to $139m in 2017.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
