Third Quarter 2023

(1)The market value of common equity is based on the closing stock price at the end of the quarter and assumes 100% redemption of the limited partnership units in our operating partnership, including common units and vested and unvested long-term incentive units, for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. Excludes shares of common stock potentially issuable upon conversion of our series J, series K and series L cumulative redeemable preferred stock upon certain change of control transactions, as applicable.

For a discussion of Adjusted EBITDA, see page 32. For a reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders to Adjusted EBITDA, see page 31.
(4)Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as total debt at balance sheet carrying value (see page 5), plus capital lease obligations, plus our share of unconsolidated joint venture debt at carrying value, less cash and cash equivalents (including our share of unconsolidated joint venture cash), divided by the product of Adjusted EBITDA (including our share of unconsolidated joint venture EBITDA), multiplied by four.

Reported FFO per share of $1.55 in 3Q23, compared to $1.55 in 3Q22

Reported Same-Capital cash NOI growth of 9.4% in 3Q23
Reported rental rate increases on renewal leases of 7.4% on a cash basis in 3Q23
Signed total bookings during 3Q23 that are expected to generate $152 million of annualized GAAP rental revenue, including a $42 million contribution from the 01 megawatt category and $12 million contribution from interconnection
Narrowed 3Q23 Core FFO per share outlook to $6.58 - $6.62

Financial Results

Digital Realty reported revenues of $1.4 billion in the third quarter of 2023, a 3% increase from the previous quarter and an 18% increase from the same quarter last year.

The company delivered net income of $746 million in the third quarter of 2023, and net income available to common stockholders of $723 million, or $2.33 per diluted share, compared to $0.37 per diluted share in the previous quarter and $0.75 per diluted share in the same quarter last year.

Digital Realty generated Adjusted EBITDA of $686 million in the third quarter of 2023, a 2% decrease from the previous quarter and 11% increase over the same quarter last year.

The company reported Funds From Operations (FFO) of $482 million in the third quarter of 2023, or $1.55 per share, compared to $1.52 per share in the previous quarter and $1.55 per share in the same quarter last year.

Excluding certain items that do not represent core expenses or revenue streams, Digital Realty delivered Core FFO per share of $1.62 in the third quarter of 2023, compared to $1.68 per share in the previous quarter and $1.67 per share in the same quarter last year. Digital Realty delivered Constant-Currency Core FFO per share of $1.60 for the third quarter of 2023 and $4.96 per share for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023.

“Digital Realty’s third quarter results demonstrate strong and broad-based demand across our product spectrum. We posted record leasing in the 0-1 megawatt plus interconnection category and robust leasing in the greater-than-a-megawatt category,” said Digital Realty President & Chief Executive Officer Andy Power. “Accelerating Same-Capital cash NOI growth combined with strong progress on our funding plan have enabled the company to de-lever while reinvesting to meet the needs of our customers.”

In the third quarter, Digital Realty signed total bookings that are expected to generate $152 million of annualized GAAP rental revenue, including a $42 million contribution from the 0–1 megawatt category and a $12 million contribution from interconnection.

The weighted-average lag between new leases signed during the third quarter of 2023 and the contractual commencement date was 12 months.

In addition to new leases signed, Digital Realty also signed renewal leases representing $157 million of annualized GAAP rental revenue during the quarter. Rental rates on renewal leases signed during the third quarter of 2023 increased 7.4% on a cash basis and 9.5% on a GAAP basis.

Investment Activity

As previously disclosed, in July, Digital Realty formed a joint venture in which GI Partners purchased a 65% interest in two stabilized hyperscale data centers in the Chicago metro area. Digital Realty received approximately $743 million of gross proceeds from the sale and the associated financing and maintains a 35% interest in the joint venture. Based on annualized inplace cash NOI at June 30, 2023 and the benefit of leases signed but not yet commenced, the transaction valued the two facilities at an approximate 6.5% cap rate. Digital Realty also granted GI Partners an options to purchase an interest in the third facility on the same data center campus, along with the ability to increase its stake in the assets up to 80%. 

Also previously disclosed, in late July, Digital Realty formed a joint venture in which TPG Real Estate purchased an 80% interest in three stabilized hyperscale data centers in Northern Virginia. Digital Realty received approximately $1.4 billion of gross proceeds from the sale and the associated financing and maintains a 20% interest in the joint venture. Based on annualized inplace cash NOI at June 30, 2023, net of signed leases and known move-outs, the transaction valued the facilities at an approximate 6.0% cap rate.

In addition, Digital Realty previously announced plans to expand its joint venture in India with Brookfield Infrastructure through the addition of Jio, a Reliance Industries, Ltd. company. Upon closing, the new joint venture, ‘Digital Connexion: A Brookfield, Jio and Digital Realty Company’, will succeed BAM Digital Realty.

During the third quarter, Digital Realty signed a 50-year right of use agreement related to a 2.7-acre site (MRS5) in Marseille, France, which can support the development of data center capacity with approximately 22 megawatts of IT load, as an extension to its existing highly connected campus in the port of Marseille. The minimum total payments over the next 30 years for MRS5 will be €62 million or $65 million. Marseille is a key connectivity gateway in Europe.

Additionally, Digital Realty secured approximately 27 acres (MRS6) near Marseille for a purchase price of €47 million or $49 million. MRS6 can support the development of data center capacity of up to 50 megawatts of IT load to support the increasing demand from cloud service providers.

Further during the third quarter, Digital Realty sold a non-core data center in Watford, United Kingdom for approximately $146 million of net proceeds representing a 9.8% cap rate based on in-place NOI adjusted for known move-outs. Additionally, Digital Realty sold a non-core data center in Chantilly, Virginia for approximately $43 million, representing a 9.3% cap rate based on in-place NOI at September 30, 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This document contains non-GAAP financial measures, including FFO, Core FFO, Adjusted FFO, Net Operating Income (NOI), “Same-Capital” Cash NOI and Adjusted EBITDA. A reconciliation from U.S. GAAP net income available to common stockholders to FFO, a reconciliation from FFO to Core FFO, a reconciliation from Core FFO to Adjusted FFO, reconciliation from NOI to Cash NOI, and definitions of FFO, Core FFO, Adjusted FFO, NOI and “Same-Capital” Cash NOI are included as an attachment to this document. A reconciliation from U.S. GAAP net income available to common stockholders to Adjusted EBITDA, a definition of Adjusted EBITDA and definitions of net debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA, debt-plus-preferred-to-total enterprise value, cash NOI, and fixed charge coverage ratio are included as an attachment to this document.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis, where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amount of various items that would impact net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted share, which is the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure. This includes, for example, external growth factors, such as dispositions, and balance sheet items, that have not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

(2)Certain of Teraco's minority indirect shareholders have the right to put their shares in an upstream parent company of Teraco to Digital Realty in exchange for cash or the equivalent value of shares of Digital Realty common stock, or a combination thereof. US GAAP requires Digital Realty to assume the put right is settled in shares for purposes of calculating diluted EPS. This same approach was utilized to calculate FFO/share. The potential future dilutive impact associated with this put right will be excluded from Core FFO and AFFO until settlement occurs – causing diluted share count to be higher for FFO than for Core FFO and AFFO. When calculating diluted FFO, Teraco related minority interest is added back to the FFO numerator as the denominator assumes all shares have been put back to Digital Realty.

(1)We estimate the total net rentable square feet available for lease based on a number of factors in addition to contractually leased square feet, including available power, required support space and common areas.
(2)Space under active development includes current Base Building and Data Center projects in progress (see page 25).
(3)Space held for development includes space held for future Data Center development and excludes space under active development (see page 28).
(4)Annualized base rent represents the monthly contractual base rent (defined as cash base rent before abatements) under existing leases as of September 30, 2023, multiplied by 12.
(5)Occupancy excludes space under active development and space held for development. For some of our buildings, we calculate occupancy based on factors in addition to contractually leased square feet, including available power, required support space and common areas.
(6)White Space IT Load represents UPS-backed utility power dedicated to Digital Realtys operated data center space.
(7)Represents consolidated portfolio plus our managed portfolio of unconsolidated joint ventures based on our ownership percentage.

(1)Represents the purchase price before contractual purchase price adjustments, transaction expenses, taxes, and potential currency fluctuations.
(2)We calculate the cash capitalization rate on acquisitions, dispositions, and joint venture contributions by dividing anticipated annual net operating income by the purchase/sale/contribution price, including assumed debt and related pre-payment penalties. Net operating income represents rental revenue and tenant reimbursement revenue from in-place leases, less rental property operating and maintenance expenses, property taxes and insurance expenses, and is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. We caution you not to place undue reliance on our cash capitalization rates because they are based solely on data made available to us in the diligence process in connection with the relevant acquisitions and are calculated on a non-GAAP basis. Our calculation of the cash capitalization rate on acquisitions may change, based on our experience operating the data centers subsequent to closing of the acquisitions. In addition, the actual cash capitalization rates may differ from our expectations based on numerous other factors, including the results of our final purchase price allocation, difficulties collecting anticipated rental revenues, tenant bankruptcies, property tax reassessments and unanticipated expenses at the data centers that we cannot pass on to tenants.
(3)We estimate the total net rentable square feet available for lease based on a number of factors in addition to contractually leased square feet, including available power, required support space and common area.
(4)Occupancy excludes space under active development and space held for development.
(5)50-year right of use agreement with minimum rental payments of 62 million or $65 million over the next 30 years. Represents USD to EUR exchange rate as of 9/30/23 of 0.95x.
(6)Purchase option with a strike price of 47 million or $49 million. Represents USD to EUR exchange rate as of 9/30/23 of 0.95x.
(7)When adjusting annual net operating income to reflect the net impact of signed leases and known move-outs, the cap rate is not meaningful.
(8)Represents USD to GBP exchange rate as of 9/30/23 of 0.82x.
(9)GI Partners purchased a 65% interest in two stabilized hyperscale data centers and their associated equipment in the Chicago metro area. Digital Realty received $743 million of gross proceeds related to the joint venture and the associated financing, and maintains a 35% interest in the portfolio.
(10)TPG Real Estate acquired an 80% interest in three stabilized hyperscale data centers in Northern Virginia.  Digital Realty received $1.4 billion of gross proceeds related to the joint venture and the associated financing, and maintains a 20% interest in the portfolio.

Definition

Funds From Operations (FFO):

We calculate funds from operations, or FFO, in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit, in the Nareit Funds From Operations White Paper - 2018 Restatement. FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from real estate transactions, provision for impairment, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), unconsolidated JV real estate related depreciation & amortization, non-controlling interests in operating partnership, depreciation related to non-controlling interests and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our data centers that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and capitalized leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our data centers, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our financial condition and results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ FFO. FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.

Core Funds from Operations (Core FFO):

We present core funds from operations, or Core FFO, as a supplemental operating measure because, in excluding certain items that do not reflect core revenue or expense streams, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in our core business operating performance. We calculate Core FFO by adding to or subtracting from FFO (i) other non-core revenue adjustments, (ii) transaction and integration expenses, (iii) loss from early extinguishment of debt, (iv) gain on / issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred stock, (v) severance, equity acceleration, and legal expenses, (vi) gain/loss on FX revaluation, and (vii) other non-core expense adjustments. Because certain of these adjustments have a real economic impact on our financial condition and results from operations, the utility of Core FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may calculate Core FFO differently than we do and accordingly, our Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ Core FFO. Core FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.

Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO):

We present adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, as a supplemental operating measure because, when compared year over year, it assesses our ability to fund dividend and distribution requirements from our operating activities. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the operations of REITs, AFFO will be used by investors as a basis to assess our ability to fund dividend payments in comparison to other REITs, including on a per share and unit basis. We calculate AFFO by adding to or subtracting from Core FFO (i) non-real estate depreciation, (ii) amortization of deferred financing costs, (iii) amortization of debt discount/premium, (iv) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (v) straight-line rental revenue, (vi) straight-line rental expense, (vii) above- and below-market rent amortization, (viii) deferred tax expense / (benefit), (ix) leasing compensation and internal lease commissions, and (x) recurring capital expenditures. Other REITs may calculate AFFO differently than we do and, accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ AFFO. AFFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

We believe that earnings before interest, loss from early extinguishment of debt, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below), are useful supplemental performance measures because they allow investors to view our performance without the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization or the cost of debt and, with respect to Adjusted EBITDA, unconsolidated joint venture real estate related depreciation & amortization, unconsolidated joint venture interest expense and tax, severance, equity acceleration, and legal expenses, transaction and integration expenses, gain on sale / deconsolidation, provision for impairment, other non-core adjustments, net, non-controlling interests, preferred stock dividends, and issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred stock. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA excluding unconsolidated joint venture real estate related depreciation & amortization, unconsolidated joint venture interest expense and tax, severance, equity acceleration, and legal expenses, transaction and integration expenses, gain on sale / deconsolidation, provision for impairment, other non-core adjustments, net, non-controlling interests, preferred stock dividends, and gain on / issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred stock. In addition, we believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated before recurring cash charges including interest expense and income taxes, exclude capitalized costs, such as leasing commissions, and are not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of our business, their utility as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do and, accordingly, our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other REITs’ EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered only as supplements to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our financial performance.

Net Operating Income (NOI) and Cash NOI:

Net operating income, or NOI, represents rental revenue, tenant reimbursement revenue and interconnection revenue less utilities expense, rental property operating expenses, property taxes and insurance expenses (as reflected in the statement of operations). NOI is commonly used by stockholders, company management and industry analysts as a measurement of operating performance of the company’s rental portfolio. Cash NOI is NOI less straight-line rents and above- and below-market rent amortization. Cash NOI is commonly used by stockholders, company management and industry analysts as a measure of property operating performance on a cash basis. Same-Capital Cash NOI represents buildings owned as of December 31, 2021 of the prior year with less than 5% of total rentable square feet under development and excludes buildings that were undergoing, or were expected to undergo, development activities in 2022-2023, buildings classified as held for sale, and buildings sold or contributed to joint ventures for all periods presented (prior period numbers adjusted to reflect current same-capital pool). However, because NOI and cash NOI exclude depreciation and amortization and capture neither the changes in the value of our data centers that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and capitalized leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our data centers, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of NOI and cash NOI as measures of our performance is limited. Other REITs may calculate NOI and cash NOI differently than we do and, accordingly, our NOI and cash NOI may not be comparable to other REITs’ NOI and cash NOI. NOI and cash NOI should be considered only as supplements to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as measures of our performance.

Additional Definitions

Net debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio is calculated as total debt at balance sheet carrying value, plus capital lease obligations, plus Digital Realty’s pro rata share of unconsolidated joint venture debt, less cash, and cash equivalents (including Digital Realty’s pro rata share of unconsolidated joint venture cash) divided by the product of Adjusted EBITDA (including Digital Realty’s pro rata share of unconsolidated joint venture EBITDA), multiplied by four.

Debt-plus-preferred-to-total enterprise value is mortgage debt and other loans plus preferred stock divided by mortgage debt and other loans plus the liquidation value of preferred stock and the market value of outstanding Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. units, assuming the redemption of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. units for shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock.

Fixed charge coverage ratio is Adjusted EBITDA divided by the sum of GAAP interest expense, capitalized interest, scheduled debt principal payments and preferred stock dividends. For the quarter ended September 30, 2023, GAAP interest expense was $111 million, capitalized interest was $29 million and scheduled debt principal payments and preferred stock dividends was $10 million.
