Distribution per unit & durability

DPU history — ¢ per unit

Record FY2025 DPU of 10.381¢ (+9.8%) — but flattered by a 1.203¢ capital-distribution component in 2H2025 and struck after capex/land-premium reserves, on an enlarged unit base (Oct-2025 raising). FY2021 figure is from secondary sources (flagged).

Tenant concentration — the #1 blind spot for DC REITs

One hyperscaler is ~42.8% of rental income; the top 5 are ~71% and the top 10 ~83.5% (just 72 clients in total). A single re-lease or pricing reset at the anchor would move DPU materially. Internet-enterprise (hyperscaler) tenants are now 69.6% of income — up from 61.1% a year earlier.

Concentration this high is the core risk the ~4.6% yield / 1.3x NAV premium is pricing against. Tenant identities are anonymised in disclosures.

Rental income by tenant sector

What investors usually miss

Extreme top-tenant concentration (~42.8% from one hyperscaler)
Top 5 ≈ 71%, just 72 clients. A single non-renewal or pricing reset at the anchor tenant would move DPU materially — the central risk behind the premium valuation. KDC 1Q2026 update p13
The China / Guangdong receivable is a slow leak, not a fixed scar
A defaulted master tenant (Bluesea) drove a S$20.9m loss allowance again in FY2025; arrears now >S$45m with negligible recovery; the three Guangdong assets' carrying values fell ~16–17% YoY. Unresolved, no committed timeline — and management won't make new China acquisitions until it clears. KDC FY2025 results p5,9; AGM 2026
Singapore is 62.7% of AUM and the land leases are finite
DC1 (the largest SG asset by area) has only ~18 years of land lease left; the SGP 1–8 cluster sits around 24–30 years. The S$350m paid to extend SGP 7 & 8 shows tenure top-ups are recurring cash costs. KDC FY2025 results p9
'Record' DPU is flattered by capital distribution and reserve mechanics
The 2H2025 payout includes a 1.203¢ capital-distribution (return of capital), distributable income is struck after capex/land-premium reserves, and the unit base grew via the Oct-2025 raising. KDC FY2025 results p2,31–32
The premium (P/NAV ~1.3x, ~4.6% yield) prices in AI optimism
Most diversified S-REITs trade near or below book; KDC's premium reflects pure-play scarcity and AI demand — leaving little margin for execution slips on China, tenant or refinancing. KDC FY2025 results p8
Debt-cost reset risk is muted but real
Cost of debt fell to 2.6% (helped by cheap JPY borrowing, ~40% of debt) with 84.8% fixed — but ~8.5% of debt matures in 2026 and ~18% in 2027, and ICR already slipped 7.5x→7.2x. KDC 1Q2026 update p8,9

What would change the call

#Risk
1Tenant concentration — ~42.8% of income from one hyperscaler; top 5 ~71%.
2China / Guangdong — unresolved Bluesea default; ongoing provisions and a governance overhang.
3Singapore land-lease decay — 62.7% of AUM; DC1 ~18 years remaining.
4Refinancing / rates — ~8.5% of debt matures 2026, ~18% in 2027; ICR easing 7.5x→7.2x.
5FX translation — ~60% of debt non-SGD (JPY 40%, EUR 21%); JPY/EUR swings hit NAV and DPU.
6Premium de-rating — a ~1.3x P/NAV leaves little room if the AI narrative cools.
7Power / grid constraints and GV7 (London) lease non-renewal being actively managed.

Data-quality notes (what the filings don't disclose):
  • Debt-maturity ladder percentages are read off the 1Q2026 chart and are approximate.
  • FY2021 DPU (9.851¢) is from secondary sources, not a primary FY2025 document.
  • Guangdong arrears '>S$45m' is from secondary coverage; the S$20.9m FY2025 loss allowance is the primary figure.
  • Total portfolio power capacity (MW), the % of leases carrying built-in escalations, and a quantified sponsor ROFR pipeline value were not disclosed.
