Keppel DC REIT FY2025 Annual Report (year ended 31 December 2025) is the REIT's most transformative year since listing in 2014 — record DPU, a landmark hyperscale acquisition in Japan, full ownership of its two newest Singapore data centres, and inclusion in the Straits Times Index from June 2025.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
TOKYO DATA CENTRE 3 — LANDMARK ACQUISITION
SINGAPORE PORTFOLIO — FULL OWNERSHIP CONSOLIDATED
PORTFOLIO REBALANCING — DIVESTMENTS
RENT REVERSIONS AND ORGANIC GROWTH

Portfolio reversion of approximately 45% during FY2025 — reflecting strong demand fundamentals particularly in Singapore and Dublin. This contributed directly to the DPU step-up above the organic baseline. 72.7% of rental income from fully-fitted colocation assets. Top client (Fortune Global 500 hyperscaler) contributes 42.1% of rental income. Internet enterprises account for 69.3% of rental income by sector. ~53.6% of occupied lettable area has more than 5 years to expiry. Built-in rental escalation mechanisms (CPI-linked, fixed increases, or combination) in more than half of contracts.

SUSTAINABILITY & GOVERNANCE
CEO REMUNERATION

Loh Hwee Long: S$1,768,250 total for FY2025 (FY2024: S$1,498,260; +18.0% YoY). Mix: 30% base salary / 28% performance bonus (incl. S$50,000 deferred for Keppel private fund co-investment) / 20% PUP (Performance Unit Plan, 3-year vesting) / 22% RUP (Retention Unit Plan). KMP aggregate (CFO Adam Lee + Head of Portfolio Management Charmaine Cai): S$1,041,202 FY2025. Total director fees FY2025: approximately S$535,657 (6 directors, pro-rated for mid-year changes; Chairman Christina Tan and NED Thomas Pang fees paid to Keppel Ltd.).

KEY TAKEAWAY

Keppel DC REIT's FY2025 is a genuine step-change, not just an incremental improvement. The Tokyo DC 3 acquisition at a 1.1% valuation discount establishes a hyperscale beachhead in Asia's most supply-constrained data centre market. Full ownership of KDC SGP 7 & 8 removes the structural overhang from the 2024 EFR. STI inclusion is a quality endorsement that brings incremental institutional demand. The 10.381¢ record DPU with 9.8% growth — while managing a preferential offering and land lease extension costs — demonstrates the income engine's underlying strength. Key watchpoints: KDC SGP 1 occupancy recovery (53.3% — the main drag on portfolio metrics), Basis Bay DC disposal completion, and NetCo bond sale clearance. With 84.5% of AUM in Asia Pacific, a 45% rent reversion rate, and a hyperscale-focused acquisition pipeline, the trajectory into 2026 is constructive.
