Commitments and Contingencies

Primarily as a result of the Company’s various IBX expansion projects, as of September 30, 2016, the Company was contractually committed for $474,579,000 of unaccrued capital expenditures, primarily for IBX infrastructure equipment not yet delivered and labor not yet provided, in connection with the work necessary to open these IBX data centers and make them available to customers for installation. In addition, the Company had numerous other non-capital purchase commitments in place as of September 30, 2016, such as commitments to purchase power in select locations through the remainder of 2016 and thereafter, and other open purchase orders for goods or services to be delivered or provided during the remainder of 2016 and thereafter. Such other miscellaneous purchase commitments totaled $343,981,000 as of September 30, 2016.

The Company's tax filings in various jurisdictions are subject to examination by local tax authorities. The outcome of any examinations cannot be predicted with certainty. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations that would affect the adequacy of its tax accruals for each of the reporting periods. If any issues arising from the tax examinations are resolved in a manner inconsistent with the Company’s expectations, the revision of the estimates of the potential or actual liabilities could materially impact the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.
