Core Insights - The company's fiscal year 2025 performance was slightly below expectations, with revenue of HKD 2.938 billion, representing a year-on-year growth of 10.0%. This growth was primarily driven by new data centers contributing to power capacity and ramp-up [1][2]. - The adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2025 was HKD 2.128 billion, a 15.1% increase year-on-year, but slightly below the forecast of approximately HKD 2.2 billion due to a delay in tenant occupancy at MEGA IDC Phase 1 [1][2]. - The company expects revenue growth in the next two to three years to be driven by additional floor space and power capacity from future phases of MEGA IDC and annual rental increases of approximately 3-5% from mature projects [1][2].
