Investor presentation summary
14 Sep, 2026Strategic initiatives and portfolio enhancement
Executed capital recycling by selling interests in North American assets and reinvesting in APAC, notably Singapore and Osaka, to improve portfolio quality and double APAC concentration.
Acquisitions in Singapore and Osaka provide exposure to high-growth digital infrastructure markets, with the Singapore asset being a fully stabilized, blue-chip-leased facility and the Osaka asset offering 100% occupancy and significant IT load.
Divestments reduce near-term CapEx exposure and preserve long-term upside, while new investments are funded by SGD and JPY-denominated debt, enhancing balance sheet flexibility.
Portfolio now features 11 data centers, $1.9 billion AUM, 97% occupancy, and a 4.3-year WALE, with 70% of debt at fixed rates and a 3.3-year weighted average debt maturity.
Repurchased $40 million in units at a 27% discount to NAV, generating 450 bps DPU accretion.
