NTT DATA Reports FY2024, Highlights Aggressive Data Center Expansion and Infrastructure Strategy

NTT DATA reported consolidated revenue of ¥4.64 trillion ($29.8 billion) for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, marking a 6.2% year-over-year increase, with operating profit rising to ¥323.9 billion ($2.08 billion). The growth was driven by strong performance in both its domestic and overseas segments, particularly in data center and SAP-related businesses. The Global Technology and Solution Services (GTSS) unit spearheaded international infrastructure growth, while NTT DATA also recorded continued expansion across Japan’s public sector, financial, and enterprise IT sectors.

In FY2024, the company invested ¥413 billion ($2.65 billion) into data center infrastructure, adding approximately 380 MW of capacity and bringing its global total to roughly 1,500 MW. NTT DATA also disclosed a major REIT transaction involving six data center assets to be transferred to a newly formed Singapore-based NTT DC REIT. In Japan, NTT DATA was selected to develop a new 100 MW facility north of Tokyo. Internationally, it continued hyperscale and enterprise builds across North America, EMEA, and APAC. In North America, the company secured a major 7-year contract to consolidate and migrate a U.S. healthcare provider’s IT operations to its managed data centers and multi-cloud environment. In APAC, the firm strengthened its partnership with Google Cloud and acquired Niveus Solutions, a GCP specialist, to expand its generative AI and analytics offerings.

As part of its long-term strategy, NTT DATA is prioritizing investment in AI, data centers, and global cloud transformation. R&D spending reached ¥28.3 billion ($183 million) in FY2024, with focus areas including generative AI automation and SmartAgent development. For FY2025, the company forecasts ¥801 billion ($5.2 billion) in capital investment, with plans to use REIT asset recycling to fund data center growth while maintaining financial stability.

“We will continue to make proactive investments in generative AI-related businesses, data centers with strong growth potential, and strategic M&A, aiming to transform our business for sustainable global growth,” the company stated.
