IRON MOUNTAIN INCORPORATED
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)
(Unaudited)

(1)   General

The interim consolidated financial statements are presented herein without audit and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

On May 27, 2005, Iron Mountain Incorporated, a Pennsylvania corporation (“Iron Mountain PA”), reincorporated as a Delaware corporation. The reincorporation was effected by means of a statutory merger (the “Merger”) of Iron Mountain PA with and into Iron Mountain Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (“Iron Mountain DE” or the “Company”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Iron Mountain PA. In connection with the Merger, Iron Mountain DE succeeded to and assumed all of the assets and liabilities of Iron Mountain PA. Apart from the change in its state of incorporation, the Merger had no effect on Iron Mountain PA’s business, board composition, management, employees, fiscal year, assets or liabilities, or location of its facilities, and did not result in any relocation of management or other employees. The Merger was approved at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 26, 2005. Upon consummation of the Merger, Iron Mountain DE succeeded to Iron Mountain PA’s reporting obligations and continued to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol IRM.

The consolidated balance sheet presented as of December 31, 2004 has been derived from our audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, but we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a.                 Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying financial statements reflect our financial position and results of operations on a consolidated basis. Financial position and results of operations of Iron Mountain Europe Limited (“IME”), our European subsidiary, are consolidated for the appropriate periods based on its October 31 fiscal year end. All significant intercompany account balances have been eliminated or presented to reflect the underlying economics of the transactions.

b.     Foreign Currency Translation

Local currencies are considered the functional currencies for most of our operations outside the United States. All assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the applicable period, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 52, “Foreign Currency Translation.” Resulting translation adjustments are reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive items component of stockholders’ equity. The gain or loss on foreign currency transactions, including those related to

(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(a) U.S. dollar denominated 81¤8% senior notes of our Canadian subsidiary, which were fully redeemed as of March 31, 2004, (b) our 71¤4% GBP Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014, (c) the borrowings in certain foreign currencies under our revolving credit agreements, and (d) certain foreign currency denominated intercompany obligations of our foreign subsidiaries to us and between our foreign subsidiaries, are included in other (income) expense, net, on our consolidated statements of operations. Included in other (income) expense, net is $2,753 of net gains and $2,185 of net losses associated with foreign currency transactions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, and $5,745 of net gains and $4,009 of net losses associated with foreign currency transactions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively.

c.      Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We apply the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Separable intangible assets that are not deemed to have indefinite lives are amortized over their useful lives.

We have selected October 1 as our annual goodwill impairment review date. We performed our last annual goodwill impairment review as of October 1, 2004 and noted no impairment of goodwill at our reporting units as of that date. As of September 30, 2005, no factors were identified that would alter this assessment.

The changes in the carrying value of goodwill attributable to each reportable operating segment for the nine month period ended September 30, 2005 are as follows:

d.     Stock-Based Compensation

As of January 1, 2003, we adopted the measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure.” As a result we began using the fair value method of accounting in our financial statements beginning January 1, 2003 using the prospective method. The prospective method involves recognizing expense for the fair value for all awards granted or modified in the year of adoption and thereafter with no expense recognition for previous awards. Additionally, we recognize expense related to the discount embedded in our employee stock purchase plan. We will apply the fair value recognition provisions to all stock based awards granted, modified or settled on or after January 1, 2003 and will continue to provide the required pro forma information for all awards previously granted, modified or settled before January 1, 2003.

Had we elected to recognize compensation cost for all awards based on the fair value of the options granted at grant date as prescribed by SFAS No. 123 and No. 148, net income and net income per share would have been changed to the pro forma amounts indicated in the table below:

The weighted average fair value of options granted for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 was $8.48 and $10.85 per share, respectively. The values were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table summarizes the weighted average assumptions used for grants in the respective period:

e.      Income Per Share—Basic and Diluted

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” basic net income per common share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted net income per share is consistent with that of basic net income per share but gives effect to all potential common shares (that is, securities such as options, warrants or convertible securities) that were outstanding during the period, unless the effect is antidilutive. Potential common shares, substantially attributable to stock options, included in the calculation of diluted net income per share totaled 2,078,369 shares and 1,421,135 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively, and 2,122,218 shares and 1,317,623 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively. No potential common shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and potential common shares of 274,641 and 531,520 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share, as their effects are antidilutive.

f.      Supplemental Cash Flow Information

For the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005, cash payments for interest were $125,442 and $140,420, respectively, and cash payments for income taxes (net of refunds) were $7,820 and $7,712, respectively.

g.      New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”). We adopted the measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148 in our financial statements beginning January 1, 2003 using the prospective method. The prospective method involves recognizing expense for the fair value for all awards granted or modified in the year of adoption and thereafter with no

10




IRON MOUNTAIN INCORPORATED

(In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)
(Unaudited)

(2)   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

expense recognition for previous awards. We have applied the fair value recognition provisions to all stock based awards granted, modified or settled on or after January 1, 2003.

Among other items, SFAS No. 123R eliminates the use of APB No. 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, based on the grant date fair value of those awards, in the financial statements. The effective date of SFAS No. 123R is the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005, which would be our first quarter of 2006, although early adoption is allowed. SFAS No. 123R permits companies to adopt its requirements using either a “modified prospective” method, or a “modified retrospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after that date, and based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R. Under the “modified retrospective” method, the requirements are the same as under the “modified prospective” method, but this method also permits entities to restate financial statements of previous periods based on proforma disclosures made in accordance with SFAS No. 123.

SFAS No. 123R also requires that the benefits associated with the tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current rules. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after the effective date. Since we do not pay significant cash taxes currently, we do not expect this provision to materially impact our statement of cash flows within the next few years.

We expect to adopt SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method of implementation. Subject to a complete review of the requirements of SFAS No. 123R, based on outstanding stock options granted to employees prior to our prospective implementation of the measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148 on January 1, 2003, we expect to record approximately $900 of stock compensation expense in 2006 associated with unvested stock option grants issued prior to January 1, 2003.

In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” (FIN 47). FIN 47 clarifies that conditional asset retirement obligations meet the definition of liabilities and should be recognized when incurred if their fair values can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective no later than December 31, 2005. The cumulative effect of initially applying FIN 47 will be recognized as a change in accounting principle. We are in the process of evaluating the effect of FIN 47 on our consolidated results of operations and financial position.

(4)   Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” requires that every derivative instrument be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at its fair value. Periodically, we acquire derivative instruments that are intended to hedge either cash flows or values that are subject to exchange or other market price risk, and not for trading purposes. We have formally documented our hedging relationships, including identification of the hedging instruments and the hedge items, as well as our risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking each hedge transaction. Given the recurring nature of our revenues and the long term nature of our asset base, we have the ability and the preference to use long term, fixed interest rate debt to finance our business, thereby preserving our long term returns on invested capital. We target a range of 80% to 85% of our debt portfolio to be fixed with respect to interest rates. Occasionally, we will use floating to fixed interest rate swaps as a tool to maintain our targeted level of fixed rate debt. In addition we will use borrowings in foreign currencies, either obtained in the U.S. or by our foreign subsidiaries, to economically hedge foreign currency risk associated with our international investments.

We have entered into two interest rate swap agreements, which are derivatives as defined by SFAS No. 133 and designated as cash flow hedges. These swap agreements hedge interest rate risk on certain amounts of our term loan. We have recorded, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, the estimated cost to terminate these swaps (fair value of the derivative liability), a deferred tax asset and a corresponding charge to accumulated other comprehensive items of $534, $195 and $339, respectively, as of September 30, 2005. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, we recorded additional interest expense of $2,149 and $6,642, respectively, resulting from interest rate swap cash payments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded additional interest expense of $781 and

12

(Unaudited)

(4)   Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (Continued)

$3,549, respectively, resulting from interest rate swap cash payments. These interest rate swap agreements were determined to be highly effective, and therefore no ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings.

In addition, we have entered into a third interest rate swap agreement, which was designated as a cash flow hedge through December 31, 2002. This swap agreement hedged interest rate risk on certain amounts of our variable operating lease commitments. This swap expired in March 2005. The total impact of marking to market the fair market value of the derivative liability and cash payments associated with the interest rate swaps agreement resulted in our recording interest expense of $23 and $1,249 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. The total impact of marking to market the fair market value of the derivative liability and cash payments associated with the interest rate swaps agreement resulted in our recording interest income of $6 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Also, we consolidated a variable interest entity (“VIE III”, collectively with our two other variable interest entities, our “Variable Interest Entities”) which had entered into an interest rate swap agreement upon its inception that was designated as a cash flow hedge. This swap agreement hedged the majority of interest rate risk associated with VIE III’s then existing real estate term loans. We have recorded, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, the estimated cost to terminate this swap of $3,298 ($2,634 recorded in accrued expenses and $664 recorded in other long-term liabilities) as of September 30, 2005. As a result of the repayment of the real estate term loans in the third quarter of 2004, we began marking to market the fair value of the derivative liability. The total impact of marking to market the fair market value of the derivative liability and cash payments associated with the interest rate swap agreement resulted in our recording interest expense of $9,598 and $12,057 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively, and interest income of $974 and $1,367 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively.

In July 2003, we provided the initial financing totaling 190,459 British pounds sterling to IME for all of the consideration associated with the acquisition of the European information management services business of Hays plc (“Hays IMS”) using cash on hand and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. In March 2004, IME repaid 135,000 British pounds sterling with proceeds from their new credit agreement (see Note 6). We recorded a foreign currency gain of $11,866 in other expense, net for this intercompany activity in the first quarter of 2004. In order to minimize the foreign currency risk associated with providing IME with the consideration necessary for the acquisition of Hay IMS, we borrowed 80,000 British pounds sterling under our revolving credit facility to create an economic hedge. In the first quarter of 2004, these borrowings were repaid and we recorded a foreign currency loss of $2,995 on the translation to U.S. dollars in other (income) expense, net.

In addition, on July 16, 2003, we entered into two cross currency swaps with a combined notional value of 100,000 British pounds sterling. We settled these swaps in March 2004 by paying our counter parties a total of $27,714 representing the fair market value of the derivative and the associated swap costs, of which $18,978 was accrued for as of December 31, 2003. In the first quarter of 2004, we recorded a foreign currency loss for this swap of $8,736 in other expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Upon cash payment, we received $162,800 in exchange for 100,000 British pounds sterling. We

did not designate these swaps as hedges and, therefore, all mark to market fluctuations of the swaps were recorded in other (income) expense, net in our consolidated statements of operations from inception to cash payment of the swaps.

In April 2004, IME entered into two floating for fixed interest rate swap contracts, each with a notional value of 50,000 British pounds sterling and a duration of two years, which were designated as cash flow hedges. These swap agreements hedge interest rate risk on IME’s 100,000 British pounds sterling term loan facility (see Note 6). We have recorded, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, the fair value of the derivative liability, a deferred tax asset and a corresponding charge to accumulated other comprehensive items of $429 (which was all recorded in accrued expenses), $129 and $300, respectively, as of September 30, 2005. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, we recorded additional interest expense of $16 and $218, respectively, resulting from interest rate swap cash payments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded additional interest income of $9 and $52, respectively, resulting from interest rate swap cash payments. These interest rate swap agreements were determined to be highly effective, and therefore no ineffectiveness was recorded in earnings.

(5)   Acquisitions

We account for acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting, and accordingly, the results of operations for each acquisition has been included in our consolidated results from their respective acquisition dates. Cash consideration for the various 2005 acquisitions was provided through cash flows from operations.

(5)   Acquisitions (Continued)

Allocation of the purchase price for the 2005 acquisitions was based on estimates of the fair value of net assets acquired, and is subject to adjustment. The purchase price allocations of certain 2004 and 2005 transactions are subject to finalization of the assessment of the fair value of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets (primarily customer relationship assets), operating leases, restructuring purchase reserves and deferred income taxes. We are not aware of any information that would indicate that the final purchase price allocations will differ meaningfully from preliminary estimates.

In connection with certain of our acquisitions, we have undertaken certain restructurings of the acquired businesses. The restructuring activities include certain reductions in staffing levels, elimination of duplicate facilities and other costs associated with exiting certain activities of the acquired businesses. The estimated cost of these restructuring activities were recorded as costs of the acquisitions and were provided for in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3, “Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination.” We finalize restructuring plans for each business no later than one year from the date of acquisition. Unresolved matters at September 30, 2005 primarily include completion of planned abandonments of facilities and severance contracts in connection with certain acquisitions.

The following is a summary of reserves related to such restructuring activities:

At September 30, 2005, the restructuring reserves related to acquisitions consisted of lease losses on abandoned facilities of $10,662, severance costs for approximately 23 people of $284 and other exit costs of $3,520. These accruals are expected to be used prior to September 30, 2006 except for lease losses of $7,561 and severance contracts of $104, both of which are based on contracts that extend beyond one year.

(1)          The fair value of this long-term debt either approximates the carrying value (as borrowings under these debt instruments are based on current variable market interest rates as of December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2005) or it is impracticable to estimate the fair value due to the nature of such long-term debt.

In March 2004, IME and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the “IME Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of European lenders. The IME Credit Agreement provides for maximum borrowing availability in the principal amount of 200,000 British pounds sterling, including a 100,000 British pounds sterling revolving credit facility (the “IME revolving credit facility”), which includes the ability to borrow in certain other foreign currencies and a 100,000 British pounds sterling term loan (the “IME term loan facility”). The IME revolving credit facility matures on March 5, 2009. The IME term loan facility is payable in three installments; two installments of 20,000 British pounds sterling on March 5, 2007 and 2008, respectively, and the final payment of the remaining balance on March 5, 2009. Our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005 includes 100,000 British pounds sterling and 69,809 Euro of borrowings (totaling $260,539) under the IME Credit Agreement. The remaining availability, based on its current level of external debt and the leverage ratio under the IME revolving credit facility on July 31, 2005, was approximately 38,401 British pounds sterling ($67,693). The interest rate in effect under the IME revolving credit facility ranged from 3.6% to 6.2% as of July 31, 2005. For the three and nine

(6)   Long-term Debt (Continued)

months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded commitment fees of $210 and $629, respectively, based on 0.9% of unused balances under the IME revolving credit facility.

On April 2, 2004 and subsequently on July 8, 2004, we entered into a new amended and restated revolving credit facility and term loan facility (the “IMI Credit Agreement”) to replace our prior credit agreement and to reflect more favorable pricing of our term loans. The IMI Credit Agreement has an aggregate principal amount of $550,000 and is comprised of a $350,000 revolving credit facility (the “IMI revolving credit facility”), which includes the ability to borrow in certain foreign currencies, and a $200,000 term loan facility (the “IMI term loan facility”). The IMI revolving credit facility matures on April 2, 2009. With respect to the IMI term loan facility, quarterly loan payments of $500 began in the third quarter of 2004 and will continue through maturity on April 2, 2011, at which time the remaining outstanding principal balance of the IMI term loan facility is due. In November 2004, we entered into an additional $150,000 of term loans as permitted under our IMI Credit Agreement. The new term loans will mature at the same time as our current IMI term loan facility with quarterly loan payments of $375 that began in the first quarter of 2005 and will be priced at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.75%. The interest rate on borrowings under the IMI Credit Agreement varies depending on our choice of interest rate and currency options, plus an applicable margin. All intercompany notes and the capital stock of most of our U.S. subsidiaries are pledged to secure the IMI Credit Agreement. As of September 30, 2005, we had $102,455 of borrowings under our IMI revolving credit facility, all of which were denominated in Canadian dollars (CAD 119,943); we also had various outstanding letters of credit totaling $23,971. The remaining availability, based on IMI’s current level of external debt and the leverage ratio under the IMI revolving credit facility, on September 30, 2005 was $223,574. The interest rate in effect under the IMI revolving credit facility was 4.6% as of September 30, 2005. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded commitment fees of $217 and $660, respectively, based on 0.5% of unused balances under the IMI revolving credit facility.

The IME Credit Agreement, IMI Credit Agreement, our indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness contain certain restrictive financial and operating covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to complete acquisitions, pay cash dividends, incur indebtedness, make investments, sell assets and take certain other corporate actions. The covenants do not contain a rating trigger. Therefore, a change in our debt rating would not trigger a default under the IME Credit Agreement and IMI Credit Agreement and the indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness. We were in compliance with all material debt covenants as of September 30, 2005.

(9)   Commitments and Contingencies

We are a party to numerous operating leases. No material changes in the obligations associated with these leases have occurred since December 31, 2004. See our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 for amounts outstanding at December 31, 2004.

We and Iron Mountain Information Management, Inc. (“IMIM”), our wholly owned subsidiary, entered into two interrelated agreements with all necessary parties for the settlement and general release of all claims asserted in the Pierce, H-W Associates, Pioneer and Sequedex proceedings in New Jersey and Pennsylvania described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The settlement agreements, which were consummated on June 2, 2005, fully resolve and settle all the related litigations. Under the settlement agreements, we paid an aggregate of $3,100 to fully settle all claims in these actions, which includes approximately $2,100 previously awarded by the arbitrator to indemnify Mr. Pierce for legal expenses incurred in the proceeding. The $3,100 was fully reserved as of December 31, 2004 and included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

Other than the matters discussed above, there have been no material developments during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 in the proceedings described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 or our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005.

Additionally, we are involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business with a portion of the defense and/or settlement costs being covered by various commercial liability insurance policies purchased by us. In the opinion of management, no material legal proceedings, other than those described above and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, are pending to which we, or any of our properties, are subject. In addition, we record legal costs associated with loss contingencies as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.

(10)   Subsequent Events

In October 2005, the Company signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Australian and New Zealand operations of Pickfords Records Management for total cash consideration of approximately Australian Dollar 115,000 (US$87,000). The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed by year end.

We sold a facility in the U.K. for total cash proceeds of approximately $9,000 and will record a gain on the sale of approximately $4,500 in the fourth quarter of 2005.

Item 2.                        Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 included herein, and the year ended December 31, 2004, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We have made statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that constitute “forward-looking statements” as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements concern our operations, economic performance, financial condition, goals, beliefs, strategies, objectives, plans and current expectations. The forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. When we use words such as “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates” or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our expected results may not be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from our expectations. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, among others: (1) changes in customer preferences and demand for our services; (2) changes in the price for our services relative to the cost of providing such services; (3) in the various digital businesses in which we are engaged, capital and technical requirements will be beyond our means, markets for our services will be less robust than anticipated, or competition will be more intense than anticipated; (4) our ability or inability to complete acquisitions on satisfactory terms and to integrate acquired companies efficiently; (5) the cost and availability of financing for contemplated growth; (6) business partners upon whom we depend for technical assistance or management and acquisition expertise outside the U.S. will not perform as anticipated; (7) changes in the political and economic environments in the countries in which our international subsidiaries operate; and (8) other trends in competitive or economic conditions affecting our financial condition or results of operations not presently contemplated. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements except as statements of our present intentions and of our present expectations, which may or may not occur. You should read these cautionary statements as being applicable to all forward-looking statements wherever they appear. We undertake no obligation to release publicly the result of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures we have made in this document, as well as our other periodic reports filed with the SEC.

Non-GAAP Measures

Operating Income Before Depreciation and Amortization, or OIBDA

OIBDA is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization expenses. OIBDA Margin is calculated by dividing OIBDA by total revenues. Our management uses these measures to evaluate the operating performance of our consolidated business. As such, we believe these measures provide relevant and useful information to our current and potential investors. We use OIBDA for planning purposes and multiples of current or projected OIBDA-based calculations in conjunction with our discounted cash flow models to determine our overall enterprise valuation and to evaluate acquisition targets. We believe OIBDA and OIBDA Margin are useful measures to evaluate our ability to grow our revenues faster than our operating expenses and they are an integral part of our internal reporting system utilized by management to assess and evaluate the operating performance of our business. OIBDA does

29




not include certain items, specifically (1) minority interest in earnings (losses) of subsidiaries, net and (2) other (income) expense, net, that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results. OIBDA also does not include interest expense, net and the provision for income taxes. These expenses are associated with our capitalization and tax structures, which management does not consider when evaluating the profitability of our core operations. Finally, OIBDA does not include depreciation and amortization expenses, in order to eliminate the impact of capital investments, which management believes is better evaluated by comparing capital expenditures to incremental revenue generated and as a percentage of total revenues. OIBDA and OIBDA Margin should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP such as operating or net income or cash flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP).

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and for the period then ended. On an on-going basis, we evaluate the estimates used, including those related to the allowance for doubtful accounts and credit memos, impairments of tangible and intangible assets, income taxes, purchase accounting related reserves, self-insurance liabilities, incentive compensation liabilities, litigation liabilities and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience, actuarial estimates, current conditions and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and are not readily apparent from other sources. We use these estimates to assist us in the identification and assessment of the accounting treatment necessary with respect to commitments and contingencies. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Our critical accounting policies include the following, which are listed in no particular order:

·       Accounting for Acquisitions

·       Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Credit Memos

·       Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

·       Accounting for Internal Use Software

·       Deferred Income Taxes

·       Stock-based Compensation

30




·       Self-Insured Liabilities

Further detail regarding our critical accounting policies can be found in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 as filed with the SEC. Management has determined that no material changes concerning our critical accounting policies have occurred since December 31, 2004.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment.” SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”). We adopted the measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148 in our financial statements beginning January 1, 2003 using the prospective method. The prospective method involves recognizing expense for the fair value for all awards granted or modified in the year of adoption and thereafter with no expense recognition for previous awards. We have applied the fair value recognition provisions to all stock based awards granted, modified or settled on or after January 1, 2003.

Among other items, SFAS No. 123R eliminates the use of APB No. 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, based on the grant date fair value of those awards, in the financial statements. The effective date of SFAS No. 123R is the first fiscal year beginning after June 15, 2005, which would be our first quarter of 2006, although early adoption is allowed. SFAS No. 123R permits companies to adopt its requirements using either a “modified prospective” method, or a “modified retrospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after that date, and based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R. Under the “modified retrospective” method, the requirements are the same as under the “modified prospective” method, but this method also permits entities to restate financial statements of previous periods based on proforma disclosures made in accordance with SFAS No. 123.

SFAS No. 123R also requires that the benefits associated with the tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current rules. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after the effective date. Since we do not pay significant cash taxes currently, we do not expect this provision to materially impact our statement of cash flows within the next few years.

We expect to adopt SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006 using the modified prospective method of implementation. Subject to a complete review of the requirements of SFAS No. 123R, based on outstanding stock options granted to employees prior to our prospective implementation of the measurement provisions of SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148 on January 1, 2003, we expect to record $0.9 million of stock compensation expense in 2006 associated with unvested stock option grants issued prior to January 1, 2003.

31




In March 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” (FIN 47). FIN 47 clarifies that conditional asset retirement obligations meet the definition of liabilities and should be recognized when incurred if their fair values can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 is effective no later than December 31, 2005. The cumulative effect of initially applying FIN 47 will be recognized as a change in accounting principle. We are in the process of evaluating the effect of FIN 47 on our consolidated results of operations and financial position.

Overview

The following discussions set forth, for the periods indicated, management’s discussion and analysis of results. Significant trends and changes are discussed for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2005 within each section, except in instances where the trend or explanation of the change is consistent for both periods reported. In those instances, only the trend or explanation for the change of the year-to-date period is discussed.

REVENUES

Our consolidated storage revenues increased $32.9 million, or 12.5%, to $296.8 million and $105.6 million, or 13.7%, to $873.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same periods in 2004, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the increase is attributable to internal revenue growth (9%) resulting from net increases in records and other media stored by existing customers and sales to new customers, acquisitions (3%), and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations (1%). For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the increase is attributable to internal revenue growth (9%) resulting from net increases in records and other media sales by existing customers and sales to new customers, acquisitions (4%), and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations (1%).

Consolidated service and storage material sales revenues increased $34.2 million, or 17.5%, to $229.7 million and $95.6 million, or 16.8%, to $666.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same periods in 2004, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, the increase is attributable to internal revenue growth (12%) resulting from net increases in service and storage material sales to existing customers, including a significant data restoration project in our digital business, and sales to new customers, acquisitions (5%), and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations (1%). For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, the increase is attributable to acquisitions (8%), internal revenue growth (7%) resulting from net increases in service and storage material sales to existing customers and sales to new customers, and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations (2%).

For the reasons stated above, our consolidated revenues increased $67.1 million, or 14.6%, to $526.5 million and $201.1 million, or 15.0%, to $1,539.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same periods in 2004, respectively. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that impacted our revenues were primarily due to the strengthening of the British pound sterling, the Euro and the Canadian dollar, against the U.S. dollar, based on an analysis of weighted average rates for the comparable periods. Internal revenue growth was 10% and 8% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. We calculate internal revenue growth in local currency for our international operations.

Our internal revenue growth rate represents the weighted average year over year growth rate of our revenues after removing the effects of acquisitions and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Over the past eight quarters, the internal growth rate of our storage revenues has consistently ranged between 8% and 9%. Our storage revenue internal growth rate trend over that period reflects stabilized net carton volume growth in our North American records management business and strong growth rates in our digital and certain international businesses. Net carton volume growth is a function of the rate new cartons are added by existing and new customers offset by the rate of carton destructions and other permanent removals.

33




The internal growth rate for service and storage material sales revenue is inherently more volatile than the storage revenue internal growth rate due to the more discretionary nature of the services we offer such as large special projects or data products and carton sales, as well as the price of recycled paper. These revenues are often event driven and impacted to a greater extent by economic downturns as customers may defer or cancel the purchase of these services as a way to reduce their short-term costs. As a commodity, recycled paper prices are subject to the volatility of that market. The internal growth rate over the past three quarters for service and storage material sales revenues reflects the following: (1) a large data restoration project in our digital business; (2) strong data product sales; (3) growth in North American storage related service revenue; (4) continued growth in our secure shredding business; and (5) improved growth rates in our data protection business. These positive factors were partially offset by: (1) lower special project revenues related to the public sector business in the UK; and (2) a large software license sale in the first quarter of 2004 that did not repeat in the first quarter of 2005.

Labor

For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004, labor expense decreased as a percentage of consolidated revenues as a result of strong revenue growth, labor management controls implemented in the fourth quarter of 2004 in our North American operations, and an increasing proportion of revenue from less labor intensive digital services and product sales. We have also experienced improvement in our ratio of labor costs to revenues in our European operations as a result of completing the integration of Hays plc (“Hays IMS”) in 2004.

34




Facilities

Facilities costs as a percentage of consolidated revenues decreased to 13.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from 13.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The decrease in facilities costs as a percentage of consolidated revenues was primarily a result of decreasing base rent per square foot in our North American operations during 2004 and into 2005. The largest component of our facilities cost is rent expense, which increased $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004 primarily as a result of properties under lease acquired through acquisitions in both Europe and North America.

Transportation

Our transportation expenses, which increased 0.2% as a percentage of consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004, are influenced by several variables including total number of vehicles, owned versus leased vehicles, use of subcontracted couriers, fuel expenses and maintenance. Higher fuel expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004 were primarily responsible for the increase in transportation expenses as a percentage of consolidated revenues.

Product and Other Cost of Sales

Product and other cost of sales are highly correlated to complementary revenue streams. Product and other cost of sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were higher than the nine months ended September 30, 2004 as a percentage of consolidated revenues due to increased sales of data products at lower margins in North America, increased royalty payments associated with our electronic vaulting revenues and increases in technology costs associated with these revenue producing activities.

General and Administrative

The decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004 is attributable to strong revenue growth and controls over overhead spending implemented in late 2004. These decreases were partially offset by increased incentive compensation expense and growth of our European operations due to expansion and acquisitions.

Sales, Marketing & Account Management

The majority of our sales, marketing and account management costs are labor related and are primarily driven by the headcount in each of these departments. Increased headcount and related compensation and commissions are the most significant contributors to the increase in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Throughout 2004, we added sales and marketing employees, enlarged our account management force, and continued several new marketing and promotional efforts to develop awareness in the marketplace of our entire service offerings. The costs associated with these efforts contributed to the increase in our sales, marketing and account management expenses. Costs associated with our European sales and account management teams increased by $6.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, due to the expansion of our sales force through the hiring of new personnel and acquisitions. In addition, our larger North American sales force generated a $9.7 million increase in compensation for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

The decrease of sales, marketing, and account management expenses as a percentage of consolidated revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2005, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2004, is attributable to strong revenue growth and a decrease in account management costs in our records management and digital businesses in North America during 2005.

Information Technology

Information technology expenses increased as a percentage of consolidated revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004 due to increases in internal software development projects within our digital business, the acquisition of Connected Corporation (“Connected”) and associated research and development activities, and increased information technology spending in our European operations. Higher utilization of existing information technology resources to revenue producing projects partially offset this increase.

36




Bad Debt Expense

The increase in consolidated bad debt expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004 is primarily attributable to increased bad debt expense in our European operations represented by increases in days sales outstanding as a result of our recent relocation of our U.K. credit and collections team.

Depreciation, Amortization and (Gain) Loss on Disposal/Writedown of Property, Plant and Equipment, Net

Consolidated depreciation and amortization expense increased $15.1 million to $135.0 million (8.8% of consolidated revenues) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $119.9 million (9.0% of consolidated revenues) for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Depreciation expense increased $10.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 primarily due to the additional depreciation expense related to recent capital expenditures and acquisitions, including storage systems, which include racking, building and leasehold improvements, computer systems hardware and software, and buildings. Amortization expense increased $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to the same period in 2004 primarily due to amortization of intangible assets such as customer relationship intangible assets and intellectual property acquired through business combinations, including the Connected acquisition in November 2004. We expect that amortization expense will continue to increase as we acquire new businesses and reflect the recent buyouts of our minority interest partners.

Consolidated losses on disposal/writedown of property, plant and equipment, net of $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, consisted primarily of software asset writedowns. Consolidated gains on disposal/writedown of property, plant and equipment, net of $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 consisted primarily of a gain on the sale of a property in Florida during the second quarter of 2004 of $1.2 million. We will record a gain of approximately $4.5 million associated with the sale of a facility in the U.K. in the fourth quarter of 2005.

OPERATING INCOME

As a result of the foregoing factors, consolidated operating income increased $17.2 million, or 20.2%, to $102.2 million (19.4% of consolidated revenues) for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from $85.0 million (18.5% of consolidated revenues) for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Consolidated operating income increased $32.4 million, or 12.6%, to $290.0 million (18.8% of consolidated revenues) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $257.6 million (19.2% of consolidated revenues) for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

OIBDA

As a result of the foregoing factors, consolidated OIBDA increased $20.6 million, or 16.2% to $147.9 million (28.1% of consolidated revenues) for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from $127.3 million (27.7% of consolidated revenues) for the three months ended September 30, 2004. Consolidated OIBDA increased $47.4 million, or 12.6% to $425.0 million (27.6% of consolidated revenues) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 from $377.5 million (28.2% of consolidated revenues) for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

OTHER EXPENSES, NET

Interest Expense, Net

Consolidated interest expense, net decreased $10.0 million to $44.3 million (8.4% of consolidated revenues) and $3.1 million to $137.3 million (8.9% of consolidated revenues) for the three and nine

37




months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, from $54.3 million (11.8% of consolidated revenues) and $140.4 million (10.5% of consolidated revenues) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. The dollar decrease in interest expense, net was primarily due to the recording of interest expense totaling $8.5 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2004, compared to interest income of $3.6 million for the nine months ending September 30, 2005 related to the net impact of mark-to-market adjustments and cash payments on the interest rate swap associated with a real estate term loan we repaid in August 2004. We did not terminate this swap and have recorded changes to the fair market value of the derivative liability to interest expense, net.

In addition to the impact of the mark-to-market adjustments, we increased borrowings primarily from entering into an additional $150.0 million of term loans in November 2004, as permitted under our IMI Credit Agreement, that partially offset the decrease in interest expense.

Foreign currency gains of $5.7 million based on period-end exchange rates were recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2005, primarily due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar partially offset by the weakening of the British pound sterling and Euro against the U.S. dollar, during the three month period. These third quarter gains reduced the year-to-date losses of $9.8 million recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2005 primarily due to the weakening of the British pound sterling, the Euro, and the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar as these currencies relate to our intercompany balances with and between our U.K., Canadian and European subsidiaries, and British pounds sterling denominated debt held by our U.S. parent company.

During the three months ended September 30, 2004, foreign currency gains of $2.8 million based on period-end exchange rates were recorded primarily due to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar partially offset by the weakening of the British pound sterling against both the Euro and the U.S. dollar. These third quarter gains reduced the year-to-date losses of $4.9 million recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2004 primarily due to the weakening of the Canadian dollar against the U.S dollar and weakening of the British pound sterling against the Euro offset by the strengthening of the British pound sterling against the U.S. dollar as these currencies relate to our intercompany balances with and between our Canadian, U.K. and European subsidiaries, U.S. dollar denominated debt previously held by our Canadian subsidiary, borrowings denominated in foreign currencies under our U.S. revolving credit facility, British pounds sterling denominated debt held by our U.S. parent company, British pounds sterling currency held in the U.S. and our British pound sterling denominated cross currency swap, which was terminated in March 2004.

During the three months ended March 31, 2004, we redeemed the remaining outstanding principal amount of the 81¤8% Senior Notes due 2008 of our Canadian subsidiary, resulting in a charge of $2.0 million, and we repaid a portion of our real estate term loans, which resulted in a charge of $0.4 million. The charges consisted primarily of the call and tender premiums associated with the extinguished debt and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing cost and discounts.

PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 were 42.5% and 42.9%, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005 were 41.3% and 42.6%, respectively. The primary reconciling item between the statutory rate of 35% and our effective rate is state income taxes (net of federal benefit). We are subject to income taxes in both the U.S. and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Significant judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of our business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. Although we believe our tax estimates are reasonable, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could be materially different than that which is reflected in historical income tax provisions and accruals. Additional taxes assessed as a result of an audit or litigation could have a material effect on our income tax provision and net income in the period or periods in which that determination is made.

MINORITY INTEREST

Minority interest in earnings of subsidiaries, net resulted in a charge to income of $0.4 million and $1.1 million (0.1% of consolidated revenues) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, compared to $0.9 million (0.2% of consolidated revenues) and $2.0 million (0.1% of consolidated revenues) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, respectively. This represents our minority partners’ share of earnings in our majority-owned international subsidiaries that are consolidated in our operating results.

NET INCOME

As a result of the foregoing factors, consolidated net income increased $17.9 million, or 97.2%, to $36.4 million (6.9% of consolidated revenues) for the three months ended September 30, 2005 from net income of $18.5 million (4.0% of consolidated revenues) for the three months ended September 30, 2004. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, consolidated net income increased $20.4 million, or 31.8%, to $84.7 million (5.5% of consolidated revenues) from net income of $64.3 million (4.8% of consolidated revenues) for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, revenue in our business records management segment increased 8.6% and 9.3%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, primarily due to growth in storage volumes and associated service revenues, growth of our secure shredding operations and acquisitions. In addition, favorable currency fluctuations during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 in Canada increased revenue, as measured in U.S. dollars, by $7.6 million when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Contribution as a percent of segment revenue increased due to strong revenue growth, the effectiveness of recent labor and cost management initiatives and lower bad debt expense, which were partially offset by increases in transportation and facility related expenses.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, revenue in our data protection segment increased 19.5% and 16.1%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 primarily due to higher internal growth rates from our product sales and electronic vaulting services which were supported by improved internal growth rates in our core data protection business.

management initiatives and was partially offset by decreased product sales margins and the growth of our sales and account management force including higher sales commissions. Bad debt expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 was higher than the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004.

Revenue in our international segment increased 6.5% and 15.0% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, primarily due to acquisitions completed in Europe and in South America and strong internal growth in Latin America, offset by lower revenue in our U.K public sector business. Favorable currency fluctuations during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 in Europe, Mexico and South America increased revenue, as measured in U.S. dollars, by $13.4 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Contribution as a percent of segment revenue increased primarily due to improvements in both cost of sales and overhead labor ratios as a result of completing the integration of Hays IMS in the second half of 2004 offset by increased compensation associated with additional sales, marketing, and account management personnel, several new marketing and promotional efforts, and increased bad debt expense.

Corporate and Other

The Corporate and Other segment is comprised of results from operations not discussed above, including our digital archiving services, PC/Desktop computing electronic vaulting services, consulting and fulfillment operations and costs associated with our corporate headquarters’ operations. Certain costs incurred by our Corporate division were allocated to the other segments in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005, primarily to our Business Records Management and Data Protection segments. These allocations, which include rent, worker’s compensation, property, general liability, auto and other insurance, pension/medical costs, incentive compensation, real estate property taxes and provision for bad debts, are based on rates set at the beginning of each year.

Revenue in our Corporate and Other segment increased $22.9 million to $34.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $11.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and $49.5 million to $80.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $31.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The dollar increases were due primarily to strong internal growth in our digital business, including a large data restoration project and the acquisition of Connected in November 2004.

Contribution decreased $3.9 million to $8.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $11.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and decreased $10.0 million to $17.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $27.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Items excluded from the calculation of Contribution include the following: (1) depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2004 of $7.9 million compared to $11.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 of $23.4 million compared to $28.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, (2) foreign currency gains of $0.4 million and losses $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively, and foreign currency gains of $6.0 million and foreign currency losses of $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively, (3) debt extinguishment expenses of $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, and (4) losses on disposal/writedown of property, plant and equipment, net for the three months ended September 30, 2004 of $1.9 million compared to zero for the three months September 30, 2005 and a gain on disposal/writedown of property, plant and equipment, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 of $1.8 million compared to a loss of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $278.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $209.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, an increase of 33.4%. The increase resulted primarily from increases net income and the net change in assets and liabilities. The net change in assets and liabilities is primarily associated with increases in accounts receivable, payroll and incentive compensation related accruals, and the deferred tax liability offset by a decrease in the deferred tax assets.

Our capital expenditures are primarily related to growth and include investments in storage systems, information systems and discretionary investments in real estate. Cash paid for our (a) capital expenditures and (b) additions to customer relationship and acquisition costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 amounted to $189.7 million and $10.0 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, capital expenditures, net and additions to customer relationship and acquisition costs were funded entirely with cash flows provided by operating activities. We received $8.3 million of net cash proceeds from the sale of certain internet technology equipment in connection with a sale-leaseback transaction completed in the third quarter of 2005. In the fourth quarter of 2005, we expect to receive approximately $20 million in net cash proceeds associated with the sale of three real estate facilities. Excluding acquisitions, we expect our capital expenditures to be between approximately $250 million and approximately $275 million in the year ending December 31, 2005.

In the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we paid net cash consideration of $46.1 million for acquisitions, which included $19 million to purchase our minority partners equity interest in certain of our Latin American subsidiaries. Cash flows from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities funded these acquisitions.

42




Net cash used in financing activities was ($30.8 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. During the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we had gross borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and term loan facilities of $396.6 million. We used the proceeds from these financing transactions and cash flows from operations to repay debt and term loans ($441.4 million) and to repay debt financing from minority shareholders, net ($2.0 million).

We are highly leveraged and expect to continue to be highly leveraged for the foreseeable future. Our consolidated debt as of September 30, 2005 was comprised of the following (in thousands):

Our indentures use OIBDA-based calculations as primary measures of financial performance, including leverage ratios. Our key bond leverage ratio, as calculated per our bond indentures, was 5.0 and 4.5 as of December 31, 2004 and September 30, 2005, respectively. Noncompliance with this leverage ratio would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity. Our target for this ratio is generally in the range of 4.5 to 5.5 while the maximum ratio allowable under the bond indentures is 6.5.

Our ability to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance, working capital levels and capital structure, which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors which may be beyond our control. There can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient cash flow from our operations or that future financings will be available on acceptable terms or in amounts sufficient to enable us to service or refinance our indebtedness, or to make necessary capital expenditures.

Our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2005 includes 100.0 million British pounds sterling and 69.8 million Euro of borrowings (totaling approximately $260.5 million) of borrowings under the IME Credit Agreement. The remaining availability, based on its current level of external debt and the leverage ratio under the IME revolving credit facility on July 31, 2005, was approximately 38.4 million British pounds sterling (approximately $67.7 million). The interest rate in effect under the IME revolving credit facility ranged from 3.6% to 6.2% as of July 31, 2005.

As of September 30, 2005, we had $102.5 million of borrowings under the IMI revolving credit facility, all of which were denominated in Canadian dollars (CAD 120.0 million); we also had various outstanding letters of credit totaling $24.0 million. The remaining availability, based on IMI’s current level of external debt and the leverage ratio under the IMI revolving credit facility, on September 30, 2005 was $223.6 million. The interest rate in effect under the IMI revolving credit facility was 4.6% as of September 30, 2005.

The IME Credit Agreement, IMI Credit Agreement and our indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness contain certain restrictive financial and operating covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to complete acquisitions, pay cash dividends, incur indebtedness, make investments, sell assets and take certain other corporate actions. The covenants do not contain a rating trigger. Therefore, a change in our debt rating would not trigger a default under the IME Credit Agreement, IMI Credit Agreement and our indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness. We were in compliance with all material debt covenants as of September 30, 2005.

We expect to pay cash taxes of approximately $10 million in the fourth quarter of 2005.

In October 2005, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire the Australian and New Zealand operations of Pickfords Records Management for total cash consideration of approximately Australian Dollar 115.0 million (US$87.0 million). The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to be completed by year end.

We expect to meet our cash flow requirements for the next twelve months from cash generated from operations, existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, borrowings under the IMI revolving credit facility and other financings, which may include secured credit facilities, securitizations and mortgage or capital lease financings. See Note 6 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net Operating Loss Carryforwards

At September 30, 2005, we had estimated net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $108 million for federal income tax purposes. As a result of such loss carryforwards, cash paid for income taxes has historically been substantially lower than the provision for income taxes. These net operating loss carryforwards do not include approximately $103 million of potential preacquisition net operating loss carryforwards of Arcus Group, Inc. Any tax benefit realized related to preacquisition net operating loss carryforwards will be recorded as a reduction of goodwill when, and if, realized. The Arcus Group carryforwards begin to expire next year. As a result of these loss carryforwards, we do not expect to pay any significant U.S. federal and state income taxes in 2005.

Seasonality

Historically, our businesses have not been subject to seasonality in any material respect.

Inflation

Certain of our expenses, such as wages and benefits, insurance, occupancy costs and equipment repair and replacement, are subject to normal inflationary pressures. Although to date we have been able to offset inflationary cost increases through increased operating efficiencies and the negotiation of favorable long-term real estate leases, we can give no assurance that we will be able to offset any future inflationary cost increases through similar efficiencies, leases or increased storage or service charges.

Item 3.                        Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Given the recurring nature of our revenues and the long term nature of our asset base, we have the ability and the preference to use long term, fixed interest rate debt to finance our business, thereby helping to preserve our long term returns on invested capital. We target a range 80% to 85% of our debt portfolio to be fixed with respect to interest rates. Occasionally, we will use floating to fixed interest rate swaps as a tool to maintain our targeted level of fixed rate debt. As part of this strategy, in December 2000, January 2001, May 2001, and April 2004 we, IME, and variable interest entities we now consolidate, entered into a total of six derivative financial contracts, which are variable-for-fixed interest rate swaps consisting of (a) two contracts for interest payments payable on the IMI term loan facility of an aggregate principal amount of $195.5 million, (b) one contract, which expired in March 2005, based on interest payments previously payable on our real estate term loans of an aggregate principal amount of $47.5 million that have been subsequently repaid, (c) one contract based on interest payments previously payable on our real estate term loans of an aggregate principal amount of $97.0 million that have been subsequently repaid, and (d) two contracts for interest payments payable on IME’s term loan facility of an aggregate principal amount of 100.0 million British pounds sterling. See Note 4 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

After consideration of the swap contracts mentioned above, as of September 30, 2005, we had $349.5 million of variable rate debt outstanding with a weighted average variable interest rate of 5.5% and $2,058.9 million of fixed rate debt outstanding. As of September 30, 2005, 86% of our total debt outstanding was fixed. If the weighted average variable interest rate on our variable rate debt had increased by 1%, our net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 would have been reduced by $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively. See Note 6 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-Q for a discussion of our long-term indebtedness, including the fair values of such indebtedness as of September 30, 2005.

Currency Risk

Our investments in IME, Iron Mountain Canada Corporation (“IM Canada”), Iron Mountain Mexico, SA de RL de CV, Iron Mountain South America, Ltd. and other international investments may be subject to risks and uncertainties related to fluctuations in currency valuation. Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. However, our international revenues and expenses are generated in the currencies of the countries in which we operate, primarily the Canadian dollar, British pound sterling and the Euro. The currencies of many Latin American countries, particularly the Argentine peso, have experienced substantial volatility and depreciation. Declines in the value of the local currencies in which we are paid relative to the U.S. dollar will cause revenues in U.S. dollar terms to decrease and dollar-denominated liabilities to increase in local currency. The impact on our earnings is mitigated somewhat by the fact that most operating and other expenses are also incurred and paid in the local currency. We also have several intercompany obligations between our foreign subsidiaries and Iron Mountain and our U.S.-based subsidiaries. These intercompany obligations are primarily denominated in the local currency of the foreign subsidiary.

We have adopted and implemented a number of strategies to mitigate the risks associated with fluctuations in currency valuations. One strategy is to finance our largest international subsidiaries with local debt that is denominated in local currencies, thereby providing an economic hedge. In determining the amount of any such financing, we take into account local tax strategies among other factors. Another strategy we utilize is to borrow in foreign currencies at the U.S. parent level to hedge our intercompany

45




financing activities. Finally, on occasion, we enter into currency swaps to temporarily hedge an overseas investment, such as a major acquisition to lock in certain transaction economics, while we arrange permanent financing. We have implemented these strategies for our two major foreign investments in the U.K. and Canada, specifically, through IME borrowing under the IME Credit Agreement and our 150 million British pounds sterling denominated 71¤4% senior subordinated notes, which effectively hedges most of our outstanding intercompany loan with IME. With respect to Canada, in August 2004, we repaid the remaining $98.7 million of real estate term loans by having IM Canada draw on its portion of the IMI revolving credit facility in local currency and repaying a portion of its intercompany loan back to the U.S. parent. This has created an economic hedge on a portion of the intercompany balance and will reduce our currency fluctuations with regard to our investment in IM Canada while providing IM Canada with additional borrowings and interest expenses to reduce its income tax burden. As of September 30, 2005, except as noted above, our currency exposures to intercompany balances are unhedged.

Item 4.                        Controls and Procedures

The term “disclosure controls and procedures” is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These rules refer to the controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within required time periods. As of September 30, 2005 (the “Evaluation Date”), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2005 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
