Forward Looking Statements

Some of the statements contained in this document constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In particular, statements pertaining to the Company’s capital resources, portfolio performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Likewise, all of the statements regarding anticipated growth in funds from operations and anticipated market conditions are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.

The forward-looking statements contained in this document reflect the Company’s current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. The Company does not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: adverse economic or real estate developments in the Company’s markets or the technology industry; national and local economic conditions; difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and difficulties completing acquisitions; the Company’s failure to successfully develop, redevelop and operate acquired properties and operations; significant increases in construction and development costs; the increasingly competitive environment in which the Company operates; defaults on or non-renewal of leases by customers; increased interest rates and operating costs, including increased energy costs; financing risks, including the Company’s failure to obtain necessary outside financing; decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates; dependence on third parties to provide Internet, telecommunications and network connectivity to the Company’s data centers; the Company’s failure to qualify and maintain its qualification as a real estate investment trust; environmental uncertainties and risks related to natural disasters; financial market fluctuations; and changes in real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates.

While forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, of new information, data or methods, future events or other changes. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause the Company’s future results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The debt balance includes the acquisition of the New Jersey facility of $75 million on June 30, 2014, however, adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the EBITDA impact associated with the acquisition. Assuming a projected $8 million of annualized adjusted EBITDA associated with the New Jersey acquisition and also adding the estimated total debt associated with the acquisition of the Chicago facility of $18 million, the resulting debt to adjusted EBITDA would be 5.4x.

Reconciliations of Return on Invested Capital (ROIC)

 

 

(in thousands)

Our financial data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, three months ended March 31, 2014, and as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is that of the Company. The financial data for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, and as of June 30, 2013 is that of the Predecessor.

NOTE: While undepreciated real estate assets and other net assets includes the basis of the recently acquired New Jersey property, the property’s NOI contribution is minimal as this acquisition closed on June 30, 2014. If the capital associated with this acquisition were excluded from the calculation below, the resulting Annualized ROIC would be 16.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 15.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

Redevelopment Costs Summary

 

 

(in thousands, except NRSF data)

During the second quarter of 2014, approximately 45,000 square feet was placed in service. The under construction table below summarizes our outlook for development projects which we expect to complete by December 31, 2014 (in millions). The majority of capital in this plan is discretionary. In addition to the projects completed in the second quarter of 2014, this table reflects modifications to our capital plan as of June 30, 2014, relating to our plan to operate our facilities at higher efficiency levels and to better match new capacity with lease-up at each facility. In order to properly facilitate the needs of customers which have signed contracts, some capital for facilities such as Richmond and Dallas-Fort Worth which were previously forecasted to be placed in service in the second half of 2014 are now expected be placed into service during 2015.

(1) In addition to projects currently under construction, our near-term redevelopment projects are expected to be delivered in a modular manner, and we currently expect to invest additional capital to complete these near term projects. The ultimate timing and completion of, and the commitment of capital to, our future redevelopment projects are within our discretion and will depend upon a variety of factors, including the actual contracts executed, availability of financing and our estimation of the future market for data center space in each particular market.
(2) Actual costs under construction through June 30, 2014. In addition to the $64 million of construction costs incurred through June 30, 2014 for redevelopment expected to be completed by December 31, 2014, as of June 30, 2014 we incurred approximately $120 million of additional costs (including acquisition costs and other capitalized costs) for other redevelopment projects that are expected to be completed after December 31, 2014.
(3) Represents management’s estimate of the additional costs required to complete the current NRSF under development. There may be an increase in costs if customers’ requirements exceed our current basis of design.

Leasing Statistics – Signed Leases

 

 

(in thousands)

The mix of sales has significant impact on quarterly rates, both within major product segments and for overall blended leasing rates. QTS rate performance will vary quarter to quarter based on the mix of deals sold – C1 Custom Data Center, C2 Colocation (Cabinet, Cage and Suite), and C3 Cloud and Managed Services categories all vary on a rate per square foot basis. The amounts below include renewals when there was a change in square footage rented, but not renewals where square footage remained consistent before and after renewal (See renewal table on page 14 for such renewals). Please note that leasing activities discussed below do not include the lease associated with the acquisition of the New Jersey facility which was completed on June 30, 2014.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company signed 335 new and modified leases aggregating to $21.7 million of annualized rent which includes new leased revenue plus revenue from modified renewals. Removing annualized modified renewal MRR and deducting period downgrades results in $17.7 million in incremental annualized rent. In addition, given the magnitude of C1 leases, the average new C1 and C2/C3 lease rates executed during the quarter are higher than the trailing four quarter average for the respective products. The average rent per square foot was approximately $329 per square foot which compares to a trailing four quarter average rate per square foot of approximately $572. The lower rate per square foot is attributable to the significance of C1 leases executed (see table below).

Annualized Rent of New and Modified Leases represent total MRR associated with all new and modified leases for the respective periods for the purposes of computing annualized rent rates per square foot during the period. Incremental Annualized Rent, Net of Downgrades reflects net incremental MRR signed during the period for purposes of tracking incremental revenue contribution.

Note: Figures above do not include cost recoveries. In general, C1 customers reimburse QTS for certain operating costs whereas C2/C3 customers are on a gross lease basis. As a result, pricing and resulting per square foot rates for the C2/C3 customers includes the recovery of such operating costs.

The following table outlines the booked-not-billed (“BNB”) balance as of June 30, 2014 and how that will affect revenue in 2014 and subsequent years:

We estimate the cost to provide the space, power, connectivity and other service to the customer contracts which had not billed as of June 30, 2014 would be approximately $45 million. This estimate generally includes C1 customers with newly contracted space of more than 3,300 square feet. The space, power, connectivity and other service provided to customers that contract for smaller amounts of space is generally provided by existing space which was previously developed.

Leasing Statistics – Renewed Leases and Rental Churn

 

 

(in thousands)

The mix of sales has significant impact on quarterly rates, both within major product segments and for overall blended renewal rates. QTS’ rate performance will vary quarter to quarter based on the mix of deals sold – C1 Custom Data Center, C2 Colocation, and C3 Cloud and Managed Services categories all vary on a rate per square foot basis.

Consistent with our 3C strategy and business model, the renewal rates below reflect total MRR per square foot including all subscribed services. For comparability, we include only those customers that have maintained consistent space footprints in the computations below. All customers with space changes are incorporated into new/modified leasing statistics and rates.

The overall blended rate for renewals signed in the second quarter of 2014 was 1.0% higher than the rates for those customers immediately prior to renewal. The actual change in the second quarter of 2014 renewal rates compares to a prior four quarter average increase of 3.1%. Year to date 2014 average renewal rate increase is 4.0% which compares favorably to full-year 2013 average that was effectively flat (-0.2%).

There were no C1 renewals in the second quarter of 2014. C2/C3 rates were up 1.0% in the second quarter of 2014 and up 4.2% over preceding four quarters. Year to date 2014 C2/C3 average renewal rate increase is 4.2% which compares favorably to full year 2013 C2/C3 average that was down slightly (-0.6%).

Rental Churn (which we define as MRR lost to complete termination of customer services in a given period compared to total MRR at the beginning of the period) for the second quarter of 2014 was 1.9%.

Leasing Statistics – Commenced Leases

 

 

(in thousands)

The mix of sales across C1, C2 and C3 has significant impact on quarterly rates, both within major product segments and for overall blended commencement rates. QTS’ rate performance will vary quarter to quarter based on the mix of deals sold. C1 Custom Data Center, C2 Colocation , and C3 Cloud and Managed Services categories all vary on a rate per square foot basis. Please note that leasing activities discussed below do not include acquisition of the New Jersey which was completed on June 30, 2014.

During the second quarter of 2014, we commenced customer leases (which includes both new customers and existing customers that extended their lease terms) representing approximately $19.2 million of annualized rent at $584 per square foot. This compares to customer leases representing an aggregate trailing four quarter average of approximately $19.2 million of annualized rent at $365 per square foot. The trailing four-quarter average rates reflect the impact of significant C1 lease commencements (higher volume at lower rates).

Initial commencements from a large C1 deal booked in the second quarter of 2013 impacted average C1 commencement rates for the trailing four quarters as well as the second quarter of 2014. Pricing for this strategic customer reflects the unique power commitment and lease size.

C2/C3 average commencement rate for the second quarter of 2014 was $1,358, reflecting large C3 bookings from first quarter 2014 that commenced billing, versus the trailing four quarter average of $1,040 which included several large C2 commencements. Related metrics reflect the presence of these large C2 commencements and their larger footprint pricing economics as seen in higher leased square feet in Q3-Q4 2013. For second quarter 2014, new MRR totaled $1.2 million ($14.7 million annualized) versus trailing average of $1.1 million ($13.0 million annualized).

Lease Expirations

 

 

C1 leases are typically 5-10 years with the majority of C1 lease expirations occurring in 2016 and beyond. C2/C3 leases are typically 3 years in duration, thus the majority of C2/C3 lease expirations are in 2014, 2015 and 2016. The following table sets forth a summary schedule of the lease expirations as of June 30, 2014 at the properties in the Company’s portfolio. Unless otherwise stated in the footnotes, the information set forth in the table assumes that customers exercise no renewal options and all early termination rights are exercised:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This document includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are helpful in understanding the Company’s business, as further described below.

The Company considers the following non-GAAP financial measures to be useful to investors as key supplemental measures of the Company’s performance: (1) FFO; (2) Operating FFO; (3) Adjusted Operating FFO; (4) MRR; (5) EBITDA; and (6) Adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered along with, but not as alternatives to, net income or loss and cash flows from operating activities as a measure of the Company’s operating performance and liquidity. FFO, Operating FFO, MRR, NOI, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by us, may not be comparable to FFO, Operating FFO, MRR, NOI, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as reported by other companies that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from us.

Definitions

C1 – Custom Data Center. Power costs are passed on to customers (metered power); generally 3,000 square feet or more of raised floor; lease term of 5 to 10 years; customers are large corporations, government agencies, and global Internet businesses.

C2 – Colocation. Power overages charged separately; specified kW included in lease; up to 3,000 square feet of raised floor; lease term of up to 3 years; customers are large corporations, small and medium businesses and government agencies.

C3 – Cloud and Managed Services. Power bundled with service; Small amounts of space; customers rent managed virtual servers; lease term up to 3 years; customers are large corporations, small and medium businesses and government agencies.

Booked-not-billed (“BNB”). The Company defines booked-not-billed as customer leases that have been signed, but for which lease payments have not yet commenced.

Leasable raised floor. The Company defines leasable raised floor as the amount of raised floor square footage that the Company has leased plus the available capacity of raised floor square footage that is in a leasable format as of a particular date and according to a particular product configuration. The amount of leasable raised floor may change even without completion of new redevelopment projects due to changes in the Company’s configuration of C1, C2 and C3 product space.

Basis-of-design floor space. The Company defines basis-of-design floor space as the total data center raised floor potential of its existing data center facilities.

Operating NRSF. Represents the total square feet of a building that is currently leased or available for lease plus developed supporting infrastructure, based on engineering drawings and estimates, but does not include space held for redevelopment or space used for the Company’s own office space.

The Company. Refers to QTS Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including QualityTech, LP.

Historical Predecessor. Refers to QualityTech, LP, our operating partnership.

FFO, Operating FFO and Adjusted Operating FFO

The Company considers funds from operations, or FFO, to be a supplemental measure of its performance which should be considered along with, but not as an alternative to, net income (loss) and cash provided by operating activities as a measure of operating performance and liquidity. The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), adjusted to exclude gains (or losses) from sales of property, real estate related depreciation and amortization and similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company’s management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs.

Due to the volatility and nature of certain significant charges and gains recorded in the Company’s operating results that management believes are not reflective of its core operating performance and liquidity, management computes an adjusted measure of FFO, which the Company refers to as Operating FFO. The Company generally calculates Operating FFO as FFO excluding certain non-recurring and often non-cash charges and gains and losses that management believes are not indicative of the results of the Company’s operating real estate portfolio. The Company believes that Operating FFO provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance and liquidity between periods and, to the extent they calculate Operating FFO on a comparable basis, between REITs.

Adjusted Operating Funds From Operations “Adjusted Operating FFO” is a non-GAAP measure that is used as a supplemental operating measure specifically for comparing year over year ability to fund dividend distribution from operating activities. Adjusted Operating FFO is used by the Company as a basis to address cash flow and its ability to fund its dividend payments. The Company calculates Adjusted Operating FFO by adding or subtracting from Operating FFO items such as: maintenance capital investment, paid leasing commissions, amortization of deferred financing costs, non- real estate depreciation, straight line rent adjustments, and non-cash compensation.

The Company offers these measures because it recognizes that FFO, Operating FFO and Adjusted Operating FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare its operating performance and liquidity with that of other REITs. However, because FFO, Operating FFO and Adjusted Operating FFO exclude real estate depreciation and amortization and capture neither the changes in the value of the Company’s properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and capitalized leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance

of its properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact its financial condition, cash flows and results of operations, the utility of FFO, Operating FFO and Adjusted Operating FFO as measures of its operating performance and liquidity is limited. The Company’s calculation of FFO may not be comparable to measures calculated by other companies that do not use the NAREIT definition of FFO or do not calculate FFO in accordance with NAREIT guidance. In addition, the Company’s calculations of FFO, Operating FFO and Adjusted Operating FFO are not necessarily comparable to FFO, Operating FFO and Adjusted Operating FFO as calculated by other REITs that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from us. FFO, Operating FFO and Adjusted Operating FFO are non-GAAP measures and should not be considered a measure of the Company’s results of operations or liquidity or as a substitute for, or an alternative to, net income (loss), cash provided by operating activities or any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund its cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)

The Company calculates MRR as monthly contractual revenue under signed leases as of a particular date, which includes revenue from its C1, C2 and C3 rental and cloud and managed services activities, but excludes customer recoveries, deferred set-up fees, variable related revenues, non-cash revenues and other one-time revenues. MRR does not include the impact from booked-not-billed leases as of a particular date, unless otherwise specifically noted.

Separately, the Company calculates recognized MRR as the recurring revenue recognized during a given period, which includes revenue from its C1, C2 and C3 rental and cloud and managed services activities, but excludes customer recoveries, deferred set-up fees, variable related revenues, non-cash revenues and other one-time revenues.

Management uses MRR and recognized MRR as supplemental performance measures because they provide useful measures of increases in contractual revenue from the Company’s customer leases. MRR and recognized MRR should not be viewed by investors as alternatives to actual monthly revenue, as determined in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may not calculate MRR or recognized MRR in the same manner. Accordingly, the Company’s MRR and recognized MRR may not be comparable to other companies’ MRR and recognized MRR. MRR and recognized MRR should be considered only as supplements to total revenues as a measure of its performance. MRR and recognized MRR should not be used as measures of the Company’s results of operations or liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to meet its cash needs, including its ability to make distributions to its stockholders.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA

The Company calculates EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude interest expense and interest income, provision for income taxes (including income taxes applicable to sale of assets) and depreciation and amortization. Management believes that EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating and facilitating comparisons of the Company’s operating performance between periods and between REITs by removing the impact of its capital structure (primarily interest expense) and asset base charges (primarily depreciation and amortization) from its operating results.

In addition to EBITDA, the Company calculates an adjusted measure of EBITDA, which it refers to as Adjusted EBITDA, as EBITDA excluding unamortized deferred financing costs, gains on extinguishment of debt, transaction costs, equity-based compensation expense, restructuring charge, gain (loss) on legal settlement and gain on sale of real estate. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with another financial measure that can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs.

Management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental performance measures as they provide useful measures of assessing the Company’s operating results. Other companies may not calculate EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner. Accordingly, the Company’s EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to others. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered only as supplements to net income (loss) as measures of the Company’s performance and should not be used as substitutes for net income (loss), as measures of its results of operations or liquidity or as an indications of funds available to meet our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.

Net Operating Income (NOI)

The Company believes that NOI is another metric that is often utilized to evaluate returns on operating real estate from period to period and also, in part, to assess the value of the operating real estate. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to NOI is presented below:
