Keppel DC REIT's property income soars 41.9% to $31.4m

On the back of strong contributions from recently-acquired data centres.

Keppel DC REIT reported a robust net property income growth for the past quarter, up 41.9% to $31.4m.

This came with the 38.8% growth in gross revenue to $34.5m. According to OCBC Investment Research analyst Andy Wong Teck Ching and Eli Lee, the rosy numbers was driven by contributions from the acquisitions of the 90% interest of KDC SGP 3, Milan DC and Cardiff DC.

Keppel DC REIT's yields could have been better if not for the lower variable income from KDC SGP 1 and KDC SGP 2 and impact from a client downsizing its requirements at KDC DUB 1, the analysts noted.

Meanwhile, the group's distribution per unit (DPU) grew by a lower magnitude of 4.2% to 1.74 cents, due to higher finance costs and an enlarged unit base from a preferential offering exercise last year.

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.
