DIGITAL REALTY REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

San Francisco, Calif. (October 29, 2013) – Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: DLR), a leading global provider of data center solutions, announced today financial results for the third quarter of 2013. All per share results are shown on a diluted share and unit basis.

Highlights

 

    Reported FFO per share of $1.10 in 3Q13, vs. $1.13 in 3Q12;

 

    3Q13 results include a $10 million ($0.07 per share) non-cash straight-line rent expense adjustment;

 

    Reported core FFO per share of $1.16 in 3Q13, vs. $1.13 in 3Q12;

 

    Signed leases during 3Q13 expected to generate $47.3 million in annualized GAAP rental revenue, which is the third-highest quarter in the company’s history;

 

    Closed previously announced $369 million joint venture at a 6.7% cap rate;

 

    Announced a $500 million share repurchase authorization; and

 

    Revised 2013 FFO per share outlook to $4.60-$4.62 vs. $4.73-$4.82 previously, and revised 2013 core FFO per share outlook to $4.65-$4.67 vs. $4.74-$4.83 previously.

Funds From Operations

Funds from operations (“FFO”), on a diluted basis, was $151.4 million in the third quarter of 2013, or $1.10 per share, compared to $1.22 per share in the second quarter of 2013 and $1.13 per share in the third quarter of 2012. Excluding certain items that do not represent core expenses or revenue streams, third quarter 2013 core FFO was $1.16 per share, compared to $1.19 per share in the second quarter of 2013 and $1.13 per share in the third quarter of 2012.

Third quarter 2013 results include a $10 million ($0.07 per share) non-cash straight-line rent expense adjustment related to the company’s leasehold interest at 111 8th Avenue in New York. In September 2010, Digital Realty executed an extension and modification of this leasehold interest, which had been previously scheduled to expire in June 2014, and extended the expiration of the leasehold for another 10 years to June 2024. The company has determined that it should have adjusted the straight-line rent expense recorded on this leasehold interest when the modification was executed in September 2010. The $10 million adjustment recorded during the third quarter of 2013 represents a catch-up of the non-cash straight-line rent that should have been recorded from the fourth quarter of 2010 through the third quarter of 2013 at a run-rate of approximately $830,000 per quarter. The entire prior period adjustment has been included in FFO, whereas only the current period portion of $830,000 has been included in core FFO for the third quarter of 2013.

Leasing Activity

“We signed new leases totaling $47 million of annualized GAAP rental revenue during the third quarter, including nearly $28 million since the second quarter earnings call in late July. This represents the third-highest quarter in the company’s history, and the dollar volume of leases signed year-to-date has already exceeded the full-year activity in 2012,” said Michael F. Foust, Digital Realty’s Chief Executive Officer.

“We are disappointed with the third quarter financial results, but the robust leasing velocity gives us confidence in the underlying health of the business as well as customer demand for Digital Realty’s data center solutions. While lease commencements have lagged our initial expectations, the solid backlog of leases signed-but-not-yet-commenced represents contractual obligations for future rental revenue, and sets the stage for healthy growth in cash flows over the intermediate term.”

In addition to the new leases signed, Digital Realty also signed renewal leases totaling approximately $45 million of annualized GAAP rental revenue during the third quarter, notably including 480,000 square feet of Powered Base Building® data centers. Rental rates on renewal leases signed during the third quarter of 2013 rolled up 2.2% on a cash basis and 24.2% on a GAAP basis.

New leases signed during the third quarter of 2013 by region and product type are summarized as follows:

Investment Activity

Digital Realty did not acquire any income-producing properties during the third quarter of 2013.

In August 2013, the company entered the Japan market with the acquisition of a 3.7 acre land site in Osaka for a purchase price of $9.6 million. Digital Realty expects to commence development of a new data center in the fourth quarter of 2013, which will be scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2014 and deliver 4.0 megawatts of IT capacity.

In September 2013, the company also acquired one land parcel in London and one in Amsterdam for a total purchase price of $25.9 million. The 11.4 acre land site in London was acquired for a previously contracted build-to-suit project. The first stage of this multi-phased development project of a two-building data center campus is expected to deliver a four-pod building with 12 megawatts of IT load. The 5.4 acre land site in Amsterdam is a multi-phased development project that is expected to support a six-pod building with 11.5 megawatts of IT load.

In September 2013, the company formed a $369 million joint venture with an investment fund managed by Prudential Real Estate Investors (“PREI”). Digital Realty contributed to the joint venture nine Powered Base Building® data centers totaling 1.06 million square feet and valued at approximately $345 per square foot. The properties are expected to generate cash net operating income of approximately $24.5 million in 2013, representing a 6.7% cap rate. The properties are 100% leased, with an average remaining lease term of approximately nine years. The PREI®-managed fund took an 80% interest in the joint venture and Digital Realty retained a 20% interest.

Balance Sheet

Digital Realty had $4.8 billion of total debt outstanding as of September 30, 2013, comprised of $4.1 billion of unsecured debt and $0.7 billion of secured debt. At the end of the third quarter, debt-to-adjusted EBITDA was 5.4x, debt-plus-preferred-to-total-enterprise-value was 44.1% and fixed charge coverage was 3.5x.

In August 2013, Digital Realty completed the refinancing of its global revolving credit facility and multi-currency term loan. In the process, the line of credit was upsized from $1.8 billion to $2.0 billion and the term loan was upsized from $750 million to $1.0 billion. All-in pricing for the line of credit was reduced from 150 basis points to 130 basis points, and all-in pricing for the term loan was reduced from 145 basis points to 120 basis points. The maturity date for the line of credit was extended by two years to November 2017, not including two six month extension options. The maturity date on the term loan is unchanged and remains April 2017, with two six-month extension options added.

In October 2013, Digital Realty’s board of directors approved a $500 million share repurchase program, which the company may use to opportunistically reacquire shares based on the then-current share price and capital allocation alternatives.

Revised 2013 Outlook

“With improved visibility on the range of outcomes for full-year results, we are revising our 2013 FFO per share outlook to $4.60-$4.62 down from $4.73-$4.82 previously, and revising our 2013 core FFO per share outlook to $4.65-$4.67 down from the prior range of $4.74-$4.83,” said A. William Stein, Digital Realty’s CFO and Chief Investment Officer.

“The primary drivers behind our revised outlook include: the non-cash straight-line rent expense adjustment; the near-term reinvestment drag until proceeds from the joint venture with PREI can be accretively redeployed; lower-than-expected acquisitions of income-producing properties; and delayed lease commencements, reflecting the needs of strategic customers for phased delivery of custom-built space for large-scale requirements on long lease terms.”

The 2013 guidance provided by Digital Realty in this press release is based on the following assumptions as of October 29, 2013:

 

    Data center space delivered representing approximately $800 million generating ROI of 10%-12%;

 

    Digital Design Services revenue of $3 million;

 

    Acquisitions of income-producing properties totaling $85-$140 million at an average cap rate of 8.5%-9.5%;

 

    Development capital expenditures of $1.05-$1.125 billion;

 

    Recurring capital expenditures and capitalized leasing costs of $70-$75 million;

 

    Total G&A expense of $67 million;

 

    Transaction expenses of $4-$5 million; and

 

    FX rates (USD per currency): Euro = 1.33; Pound = 1.56; SGD = 0.79; and AUS = 0.92.

Preliminary 2014 Outlook

Digital Realty is providing its preliminary 2014 outlook in this press release, based on the following assumptions as of October 29, 2013:

Internal Growth

 

    Rental rates on renewal leases are expected to be roughly flat on a cash basis, and modestly positive on a GAAP basis

 

    Operating margin is expected to be approximately 25-75 basis points lower than the historical run-rate, reflecting a higher mix of gross leases on Turn-Key Flex data centers, and a reduced exposure to triple-net leases on Powered Base Building® product as a result of our contribution of nine Powered Base Buildings® to our joint venture with PREI

 

    Overhead load is expected to trend in line with the historical average, with G&A at approximately 75-85 basis points on total assets

External Growth

 

    Acquisitions of income-producing properties projected to be in the range of $0-$400 million at an average cap rate of 7.5%-8.5%

 

    Potential joint ventures in the range of $0-$400 million at an average cap rate of 6.75%-7.25%

 

    Development capital expenditures of $600-$800 million at 10%-12% stabilized yields

 

    Recurring capital expenditures and capitalized leasing costs of $75-$80 million

Balance Sheet

 

    $100-$250 million preferred equity offering at a 7.5%-8.0% coupon in late 2013 or early 2014

 

    $700-$900 million 10-year USD and/or Sterling bond offerings at 4.75%-5.25% in late 2013 or early 2014

 

    Financing charges are expected to be higher in 2014, reflecting lower capitalized interest on development, front-loading the issuance of long-term capital towards the beginning of the year, as well as a rising interest rate environment

(2) At September 30, 2013, we had 0 series D convertible preferred shares outstanding, as a result of the conversion of all remaining shares on February 26, 2013, which calculates into 629 common shares on a weighted average basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. At September 30, 2012, we had 5,098 series D convertible preferred shares outstanding that were convertible into 4,219 common shares on a weighted average basis for the three months ended September 30, 2012. At September 30, 2012, we had 0 series C convertible preferred shares (as a result of the conversion of all remaining shares on April 17, 2012) and 5,098 series D convertible preferred shares outstanding that were convertible into 1,087 common shares and 4,310 common shares on a weighted average basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

Funds From Operations

Digital Realty calculates 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) available to common stockholders and unitholders (computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, 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, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. Digital Realty also believes 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

 

10


LOGO

 

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 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 as a measure of our performance.

Core Funds from Operations

We present core funds from operations, or CFFO, 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 CFFO by adding to or subtracting from FFO (i) termination fees and other non-core revenues, (ii) significant transaction expenses, (iii) loss from early extinguishment of debt, (iv) costs on redemption of preferred stock, (v) significant property tax adjustments, net and (vi) 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 CFFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may not calculate CFFO in a consistent manner. Accordingly, our CFFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ CFFO. CFFO 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 expense, income taxes, 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, straight-line rent expense adjustment attributable to prior periods, gain from change in control of investment properties, noncontrolling interests, and preferred stock dividends. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA excluding straight-line rent expense adjustment attributable to prior periods, gain from change in control of investment properties, 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.

Additional Definitions

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, scheduled debt principal payments and preferred dividends. For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, GAAP interest expense was $47.7 million and scheduled debt principal payments and preferred dividends was $14.9 million.
