Keppel DC REIT to expand Australian footprint in Sydney


Keppel DC REIT, will be expanding its data centre footprint in Australia with a new shell and core data centre, which will be built on the vacant land within the Macquarie Business Park precinct in Sydney. The development will be undertaken by Macquarie Telecom, the master lessee of the existing shell and core data centre, Intellicentre 2 Data Centre (“IC2 DC”). Macquarie Telecom will also be the master lessee of the new shell and core data centre when completed.

The expansion to the Macquarie Telecom data centre campus will be named Intellicentre 3 East Data Centre (“IC3 East DC”) and will feature a minimum of 86,000 sq ft of lettable area upon its completion, which is expected to be between 2019 and 2020. The costs payable by Keppel DC REIT will be based on the actual total costs of construction works, within a range of A$26.0 million to A$36.0 million, to be payable to Macquarie Telecom only on completion.

This addition to Keppel DC REIT’s portfolio is expected to be DPU-accretive. Upon the completion of the development, a new 20-year triple-net master lease with Macquarie Telecom incorporating both IC2 DC and IC3 East DC shell and core buildings will commence. The lease will include builtin annual rental escalations with renewal options.

"Return of capital" deals could be immensely lucrative if paired up nicely with doses of financial engineering. But it depends on everything remaining constant over the period of time. In this case, it would be 15 years. I believe a lot of things have changed if we were just to look at M1 itself over the last 15 years. Also, I didn't expect that having "residual value" is actually a bad thing. Well, it could be if we are just looking at a bunch of cables+tunnels+routers.

SIAS-Keppel DC REIT: Virtual Dialogue Session for the Proposed Investment in the NetCo Bonds and Preference Shares

DG: How long is this acquisition expected to be DPU accretive?

ALMH: We cannot provide any forward-looking statements and predictions on how income will be. We looked at the DPU accretion on a pro forma basis, which will be 3.8% if the QPDS application is approved. I would also like to remind all our Unitholders that this in this deal, the principal that we put in will be repaid progressively over this 15-year period. This is something that we have considered very carefully and this is good, because we will not have to worry about what to do 15 years later. For illustrative purposes, if we had bought into some other assets we will have to think about how do we continue to maintain this value after 15 years. But in this case, there is no such concern because the capital would be
repaid to Unitholders over 15 years.

DG: Just one last question. In your due diligence, did you determine who does M1 or NetCo actually serve? I know Netlink Trust serves retail and also residential customers. Does M1 or NetCo serve the commercial lines?

ALMH: I can’t really provide too much details on that, but NetCo basically provides the core of what M1’s business is, which comprise mainly of the Network Assets, which are mobile, fibre and the fixed assets that M1 has. They also have their post-paid and pre-paid customer base in their business.

Keppel DC Reit has dropped ~10% in the last 1 week.

Based on some recent anecdotal discussion I had with certain parties who are either subcontractors or Microsoft Spore insiders in charge of data centers, It seems to align with Jim Chanos' June public bet that the mega cloud providers (Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon etc) will probably be more competitor than customer in the future.

Since REITs classify their real estate as investment properties, their real estate will be valued at fair value (or in other words, close to full valuation). Based on 1H22 results, its NAV is at 1.37sgd. The latest share price is ~1.74sgd, implying a valuation ~1.27x NAV.

Of course, data center REITs will survive and still be around. Their buildings will still have high utilization rate. But the problem would be the current market valuation of doing at >NAV. If the cloud revolution turns from been a tailwind to disappointment, there isn't a lot of strong reasons for Mr Market to assign a >NAV valuation to Keppel DC Reit anymore.

Potential default from the seller's sales and leaseback in just 2 years. Doesn't look good.

Keppel DC Reit demands 48.3 million yuan late payment from China data centre tenant

The manager noted that KDCR Guangdong has been in “close discussion” with Bluesea, who paid the instalments up to October, but failed to duly make the payment due in the end of November.

Keppel DC Reit acquired its first data centre in China from Bluesea and its parent company for 635.9 million yuan in July 2021. The fully fitted data centre was renamed as Guangdong DC 1.
