Fort Worth Acquisition

 

On December 16, 2016, the Company completed the acquisition of the Fort Worth facility for approximately $50.1 million (based on the preliminary assessment of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed). This facility is located in Fort Worth, Texas, and consists of 53 acres and approximately 262,000 gross square feet. This facility has a basis of design of 80,000 square feet, 8 gross MW of current available power with an additional 8 gross MW available for further expansion. This acquisition was funded with a draw on the unsecured revolving credit facility. 

 

The Company accounted for this acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, as a business combination. The Company is generally valuing the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using Level 3 inputs.

 

The following table summarizes the consideration for the Fort Worth facility and the preliminary allocation of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date (in thousands). This allocation is subject to change pending the final valuation of these assets and liabilities:

Carpathia Acquisition

 

On June 16, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the outstanding stock of Carpathia Hosting, Inc., a Virginia-based colocation, cloud and managed services provider for approximately $373.6 million (based on the final assessment of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed). Upon completion of this acquisition, the Company assumed all of the assets and liabilities of Carpathia Acquisition, Inc. Carpathia Acquisition, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including Carpathia, became indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. Carpathia was a provider of colocation, hybrid cloud and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) servicing enterprise customers and federal agencies, with a customer base of approximately 230 customers as of June 16, 2015.  Carpathia utilized eight domestic data centers located in Dulles, Virginia; Phoenix, Arizona; San Jose, California; Harrisonburg, Virginia and Ashburn, Virginia; and five international data centers located in Toronto, Canada; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Hong Kong; London, United Kingdom; and Sydney, Australia. The Company no longer leases the Sydney, Australia data center.

 

The Company accounted for this acquisition in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, as a business combination. The Company generally valued the assets acquired and liabilities assumed using Level 3 inputs.

 

In June 2016, the Company finalized the Carpathia purchase price allocation.

Goodwill recognized in the transaction relates primarily to anticipated operating synergies, Carpathia’s in-place workforce and access to Carpathia’s broader potential customer base. For tax purposes, QTS acquired goodwill with a tax basis of $16.6 million, which is deductible in subsequent periods. Based on the final purchase price allocation, amortization expenses relative to the intangible assets acquired are expected to be approximately $12.2 million, $9.9 million, $8.0 million, $8.0 million and $8.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2021, respectively. Additionally, based on the final purchase price allocation, amortization expenses relative to acquired above market leases recorded as offsets to rent expense are expected to be approximately $0.2 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2017 through December 31, 2021, respectively.
