What did DigiCo Infrastructure REIT report?
- Agreed to sell LAX1 and LAX2 sites in Los Angeles at a price broadly in line with their acquisition cost
- Pro-forma available liquidity expected to increase to approximately $1.0 billion after completion of recent sales
- Proceeds will support investment in the SYD1 development in Sydney
- FY26 underlying EBITDA guidance maintained at $125 million
- Completion of the LAX sale is targeted for the first half of FY27, pending conditions
What else do investors need to know?
DigiCo says the LAX1 and LAX2 divestment aligns with its plan to recycle capital from non-core assets into higher-return projects. Plans are underway to move these funds into the SYD1 development, described as a core strategic initiative for the REIT. The LAX sale follows the already-flagged sale of the Chicago (CHI1) asset, further boosting available cash.
Completion of the sale is conditional upon standard closing requirements and is expected in the first half of FY27. Management affirmed that maintaining strong liquidity will support DigiCo's development pipeline and long-term growth objectives.
What's next for DigiCo Infrastructure REIT?
The REIT's outlook remains steady, with underlying EBITDA guidance for FY26 reaffirmed despite the site disposals. Management has flagged a focus on recycling capital into high-return projects like SYD1, positioning DigiCo for potential growth in the data centre space.
Investors can expect updates on the SYD1 development as recycled capital is deployed and may see further portfolio optimisation as the group progresses its global growth and development mandates.
