NTT DC REIT beats IPO forecast with $0.0708 DPU

Its maiden distribution was 2.6% above forecast, supported by higher revenue and lower finance costs.

NTT DC REIT posted a distribution per unit of $0.0708 (US$0.0556) for FY25/26, exceeding its IPO forecast of $0.0688 (US$0.0542) by 2.6%.

The REIT’s gross revenue came in at $209.8m (US$164.8m) for the period from 28 March 2025 to 31 March 2026, 2.5% above forecast. The outperformance was driven by stronger colocation and power services revenue, higher tenant fit-out revenue, increased leasing activity, and additional customisation works for its US portfolio.

Net property income rose to $95.3m (US$74.9m), beating the forecast by 2.3%. This was supported by higher revenue, lower-than-expected real estate taxes, and favourable foreign exchange impact, partly offset by higher repair and maintenance costs and other property expenses.

Distributable income stood at $73.2m (US$57.5m), 2.5% above forecast, whilst net finance costs were $19.0m (US$14.9m), 3.3% lower than projected.

The maiden distribution will be paid on 29 June 2026. The last day of trading on a cum-distribution basis is 18 May 2026.

The REIT maintained a healthy balance sheet, with total debt of $658.2m (US$517m) as at 31 March and no maturities due in the next two financial years.

Aggregate leverage improved to 29.2% from 32.5% as at 31 December 2025. After the distribution payment, leverage is expected to remain at 31.3%.

Its interest coverage ratio was 4.2 times, whilst the weighted average all-in interest rate stood at 4.01%. About 70% of borrowings were on fixed rates, and all assets remained unencumbered.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
