Leasing Activity
"We signed new leases representing $39 million of annualized GAAP rental revenue including a $6 million contribution from Telx, during the first quarter of 2016, which is typically a seasonally slower quarter. Leasing activity included a multi-megawatt lease with a hyper-scale cloud service provider in Osaka, fully leasing phase one of our first project in Japan. We also announced that we entered Germany, with the acquisition of a six-acre land parcel," commented Chief Executive Officer A. William Stein. "Data center demand remains robust, driven by a rapidly growing trend towards corporate IT outsourcing. Our activity in Germany and Japan underscores the importance of scale and a global platform in providing data center solutions to meet customers' needs around the world."
In addition to space and power, Telx also contributed $8 million of annualized interconnection revenue bookings during the first quarter.
The weighted-average lag between leases signed during the first quarter of 2016 and the contractual commencement date was 8.1 months.
In addition to new leases signed, Digital Realty also signed renewal leases representing $51 million of annualized GAAP rental revenue during the quarter. Rental rates on renewal leases signed during the first quarter of 2016 rolled up 2% on a cash basis and up 13% on a GAAP basis.
New leases signed during the first quarter of 2016 by region and product type are summarized as follows:

As previously announced, during the first quarter of 2016, Digital Realty closed on the sale of 47700 Kato Road and 1055 Page Avenue, two adjacent non-data center properties totaling 199,000 square feet in Fremont, CA for $37.5 million, or $188 per square foot. The properties were 100% leased and generated cash net operating income of approximately $2.7 million in 2015, representing a cap rate of 7.2%.

For all periods presented, we have excluded the effect of dilutive series E, series F, series G, series H and series I preferred stock, as applicable, that may be converted upon the occurrence of specified change in control transactions as described in the articles supplementary governing the series E, series F, series G, series H and series I preferred stock, as applicable, which we consider highly improbable.

Relates to earn-out contingencies in connection with the Sentrum and Singapore (29A International Business Park) acquisitions. The Sentrum earn-out contingency expired in July 2015 and the Singapore earn-out contingency will expire in November 2020 and will be reassessed on a quarterly basis. During the first quarter of 2015, we reduced the fair value of the earnout related to Sentrum by approximately $44.8 million. The adjustment was the result of an evaluation by management that no additional leases would be executed for vacant space by the contingency expiration date. |
|
(6) |
Relates to severance and other charges related to the departure of company executives. For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, includes integration-related severance of $6.1 million. |

For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, includes write off of straight-line rent receivables related to the Telx Acquisition of $75.3 million. Includes reversal of accruals and certain other adjustments that are not core to our business.

Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, we changed the presentation of certain capital expenditures. Infrequent expenditures for capitalized replacements and upgrades are now categorized as Recurring capital expenditures (categorized as Enhancements and Other Non-Recurring capital expenditures in 2014). First-generation leasing costs are now classified as Development capital expenditures (categorized as recurring capital expenditures in 2014). Capitalized leasing compensation for 2015 includes only second generation leasing costs. |
|

For a definition of recurring capital expenditures, see our supplemental operating and financial data package. |
|

For a definition and discussion of AFFO, see below. For a reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders to FFO, see above. |

For all periods presented, we have excluded the effect of dilutive series E, series F, series G, series H and series I preferred stock, as applicable, that may be converted upon the occurrence of specified change in control transactions as described in the articles supplementary governing the series E, series F, series G, series H and series I preferred stock, as applicable, which we consider highly improbable.

Definitions
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. FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, excluding a gain from a pre-existing relationship, impairment charges, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) 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 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 our properties, 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 such other REITs' FFO. Accordingly, 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:
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) termination fees and other non-core revenues, (ii) transaction expenses, (iii) loss from early extinguishment of debt, (iv) change in fair value of contingent consideration, (v) severance-related accrual, equity acceleration, and legal expenses, (vi) bridge facility fees 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 not calculate core FFO in a consistent manner. 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.
Constant Currency Core Funds from Operations:
We calculate constant-currency core funds from operations by adjusting the core funds from operations for foreign currency translations.
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) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (vi) straight-line rent revenue, (vii) straight-line rent expense, (viii) above- and below-market rent amortization, (ix) non-cash tax expense, (x) capitalized leasing compensation, (xi) recurring capital expenditures and (xii) capitalized internal leasing commissions. Other REITs may not calculate AFFO in a consistent manner. 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, change in fair value of contingent consideration, severance related accrual, equity acceleration, and legal expenses, transaction expenses, (gain) loss on sale of property, (gain) loss on settlement of pre-existing relationship with Telx, other non-core expense adjustments, noncontrolling interests, and preferred stock dividends. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA excluding change in fair value of contingent consideration, severance related accrual, equity acceleration, and legal expenses, transaction expenses, gain (loss) on sale of property, gain on settlement of pre-existing relationship with Telx, other non-core expense adjustments, noncontrolling interests, and preferred stock dividends. 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; accordingly, our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to such 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, interconnection revenue and tenant reimbursement revenue less utilities, rental property operating expenses, repair and maintenance 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. However, because NOI and cash NOI exclude depreciation and amortization and capture neither the changes in the value of our 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 our properties, 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 not calculate NOI and cash NOI in the same manner we do and, accordingly, our NOI and cash NOI may not be comparable to such other REITs' NOI and cash NOI. Accordingly, 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 using total debt at balance sheet carrying value less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents divided by the product of Adjusted 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 dividends. For the quarter ended March 31, 2016, GAAP interest expense was $57 million, capitalized interest was $4 million and scheduled debt principal payments and preferred dividends was $24 million.
