Digital Realty EMEA — Real Estate Accumulated Depreciation increased by 43.3% to $3.34B in Q4 2025 compared to the prior quarter. Year-over-year, this metric grew by 43.3%, from $2.33B to $3.34B.
An increasing balance indicates a larger, aging portfolio of assets that have been held for a longer duration, while a lower balance relative to gross assets may suggest recent capital investment or a younger asset base. Rapid growth in this metric without corresponding revenue growth may signal potential future capital expenditure requirements for asset refurbishment or replacement.
This metric represents the cumulative depreciation expense recorded against the real estate assets and ground leasehold...
Peers in the data center REIT sector report similar figures under accumulated depreciation for property, plant, and equipment, though variations exist based on the capitalization policies for ground leases and the age of the regional portfolio.
