What else do investors need to know?

DigiCo accelerated the expansion of its Sydney data centre (SYD1), completing the initial 20MW on time and on budget, and has signed Letters of Intent for a further 52MW with high-quality customers. The company's Australian platform continues growing, with an Adelaide brownfield project in advanced customer discussions and greenfield opportunities being evaluated.

During FY26, DigiCo successfully arranged the sale of its Chicago and Los Angeles assets, boosting balance sheet strength and allowing greater focus on its Australian operations. These sales are expected to deliver approximately $470 million in net proceeds, further underpinning its next phase of capacity expansions.

What's next for DigiCo Infrastructure REIT?

Looking ahead, DigiCo expects FY27 underlying EBITDA between $120 million and $125 million, including a minimal contribution from the 52MW Sydney expansion which will begin late in the year. The group anticipates completing the full 88MW Sydney project by end-FY28, with additional growth from the Adelaide expansion and selected greenfield projects in the pipeline.

DigiCo is targeting a 25% increase in FY27 distribution to 15.0 cents per security, and plans to fund major capital expenditure of $300–500 million from its existing liquidity. Management remains committed to prioritising Australian growth and maintaining a strong balance sheet while supporting sustainable digital infrastructure.
