Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Management believes that the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of these consolidated financial statements. The consolidated results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2020, or for any other future annual or interim period. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. As the sole manager of Switch, Ltd., Switch, Inc. operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Switch, has the sole voting interest in, and controls the management of, Switch, and has the obligation to absorb the losses of, and receive benefits from, Switch. Accordingly, Switch, Inc. identifies itself as the primary beneficiary of Switch and began consolidating Switch in its consolidated financial statements as of October 11, 2017, the closing date of the IPO, resulting in a noncontrolling interest related to the common units of Switch, Ltd. (“Common Units”) held by members, including Rob Roy, the Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Switch, Ltd., and an affiliated entity of Mr. Roy (collectively, the “Founder Members”), other than Switch, Inc. on its consolidated financial statements. The Company periodically evaluates entities for consolidation either through ownership of a majority voting interest, or through means other than voting interest, in accordance with the Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) accounting model. A VIE is an entity in which either (i) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of such entity that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to the allowance for credit losses, useful lives of property and equipment, deferred income taxes, liabilities under the tax receivable agreement, equity-based compensation, deferred revenue, incremental borrowing rate, fair value of performance obligations, and probability assessments of exercising renewal options on leases. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant Accounting Policies A description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the audited financial statements within its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. No other changes to significant accounting policies have occurred since December 31, 2019, with the exception of those detailed below. Concentration of Credit and Other Risks Although the Company operates primarily in Nevada, realization of its receivables and its future operations and cash flows could be affected by adverse economic conditions, both regionally and elsewhere in the United States. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s largest customer and its affiliates comprised 14% and 13%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s largest customer and its affiliates comprised 14% and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue. No customer accounted for 10% or more of total receivables as of September 30, 2020 and two customers, one of which was the Company’s largest customer and its affiliate, accounted for 10% or more of total receivables as of December 31, 2019. Revenue Recognition Contract Balances The opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract assets, net of allowance for credit losses, and deferred revenue are as follows:
________________________________________ (1) Amounts are included within other current assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. (2) Amounts are included within other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. (3) Amounts include $3.8 million and $2.3 million of deferred revenue related to leases as of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020, respectively. (4) Amounts include $7.9 million and $2.6 million of deferred revenue related to leases as of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020, respectively. The differences between the opening and closing balances of the Company’s deferred revenue primarily result from timing differences between the Company’s satisfaction of performance obligations and the associated customer payments. Revenue recognized from the balance of deferred revenue as of December 31, 2019 was $2.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and $12.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, no impairment losses related to contract assets were recognized on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Remaining Performance Obligations Remaining performance obligations represent contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized in future periods. These amounts as of September 30, 2020 were $711.7 million, 39%, 48%, and 9% of which is expected to be recognized over the next year, to three years, and to five years, respectively, with the remainder recognized thereafter. The remaining performance obligations do not include estimates of variable consideration related to unsatisfied performance obligations, such as the usage of metered power, or any contracts that could be terminated without significant penalties. Fair Value Measurements Information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is presented below:
Transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy are recorded at the end of the reporting period during which the events or changes in circumstances that caused the transfers to occur. There were no transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy during the periods presented. The fair value of interest rate swaps was measured using a present value of cash flow valuation technique based on forward yield curves for the same or similar financial instruments. Recent Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2014-09–Revenue from Contracts with Customers and ASU 2016-02–Leases In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) effective January 1, 2019, each using the modified retrospective approach. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 have been modified to reflect the adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2019. ASU 2016-13–Financial Instruments–Credit Losses In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). Under this guidance, a company is required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model for trade and other receivables that generally results in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, which, among other amendments, allows for certain policy elections and practical expedients related to accrued interest on financial instruments. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which granted targeted transition relief by allowing entities to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11, which addressed certain aspects of the guidance related to effective dates, expected recoveries, troubled debt restructurings, accrued interest receivables, and financial assets secured by collateral. In February and March 2020, the FASB also issued ASU 2020-02 and ASU 2020-03, respectively, which provide certain amendments and improvements to sections of ASU 2016-13. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method. As a result of this adoption, the Company measured an allowance for current expected credit losses for its accounts receivable and contract assets through a loss rate method; whereby, based on past events, such as prior write-offs, it determined expected losses as of the adoption date, while adjusting for current and forward-looking conditions, such as economic news and trends, customer concentrations, changes in customer payment terms, and customer credit-worthiness. Customer credit-worthiness is determined through indicators such as third-party credit ratings, collection experience, and other internal metrics. If a customer‘s credit-worthiness resulted in an impairment of their ability to make payments, greater allowances for credit losses may be required. The Company pooled its assets based on these conditions such that each asset pool reflected a homogenous set of asset risks, including characteristics such as credit ratings, customer industry, contract term, and historical credit loss patterns. For any period beyond a reasonable and supportable forecast for current and forward-looking conditions, the Company reverted to a loss rate based only on historical information. The adoption of this guidance did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASU 2018-13–Fair Value Measurement In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework–Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. In addition, in November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, which provides clarifications and improvements on sections of ASU 2018-13. The Company adopted this guidance retrospectively as of March 31, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASU 2019-12–Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740)–Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). The amendments in ASU 2019-12 provide certain clarifications and simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in the current guidance. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted in periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has not decided if early adoption will be considered. ASU 2020-04–Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)–Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). The amendments in ASU 2020-04 are elective and provide optional expedients and exceptions to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. The Company elected to adopt this guidance prospectively as of March 31, 2020 as it has LIBOR-based contracts extending beyond the expected discontinuation of LIBOR, including its term loan facility, revolving credit facility, and interest rate swap agreements. The adoption of this guidance did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASU 2020-10–Codification Improvements In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements (“ASU 2020-10”). The amendments in ASU 2020-10 improve codification by ensuring that all guidance that includes an option for an entity to provide information in the notes to financial statements is codified within the disclosure section of the codification. The Company early adopted this guidance retrospectively as of July 1, 2020. The early adoption of this guidance did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Reclassification The Company reclassified the current portion of its interest rate swap liability to present it separately from accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 to be consistent with the current period presentation. The reclassification had no impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or net cash flows.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Long-Term Debt | Long-Term Debt Long-term debt consists of the following as of:
Credit Agreement In June 2017, Switch, Ltd. entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (“Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, and certain other lenders, consisting of a $600.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”), maturing on June 27, 2024, and a $500.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility,” and, together with the Term Loan Facility, the “Credit Facilities”), maturing on June 27, 2022. In September 2020, Switch, Ltd. entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement (“Amended Credit Agreement”) to, among other things, extend the maturity of the Revolving Credit Facility to June 27, 2023, modify the ratio used for the financial covenant and certain basket availability tests from a consolidated total leverage ratio to a consolidated secured leverage ratio, and refresh or increase certain baskets for restricted payments, investments, and junior debt payments. In connection with this amendment, certain lenders exited the Revolving Credit Facility and a partial repayment was applied to the Term Loan Facility to reduce its principal amount to $400.0 million. As a result, the Company recorded a $0.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. The Term Loan Facility continues to be subject to quarterly amortization payments of $1.5 million, followed by a final payment of $379.0 million in June 2024. The Amended Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for such financings, including, but not limited to, limitations on incurring additional debt, incurring additional liens, encumbrances or contingent liabilities, and paying distributions or making certain other restricted payments (with certain exceptions and baskets, including a restricted payment basket of $50.0 million per fiscal year). The Amended Credit Agreement also requires Switch, Ltd. to maintain compliance with the consolidated secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) of 4.00 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter. Senior Unsecured Notes Due 2028 In September 2020, Switch, Ltd. (the “Issuer”) issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.75% senior unsecured notes due 2028 (the “Notes”), pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”) by and among the Issuer, the guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. A portion of the net proceeds was used to repay outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility and reduce the principal amount of the Term Loan Facility. The Notes bear interest at the rate of 3.75% per annum, payable in cash semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2021. The Notes mature on September 15, 2028 and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each of the Issuer’s current and future domestic restricted subsidiaries that guarantee its obligations under its Credit Facilities. Prior to September 15, 2023, the Issuer may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus a “make-whole” premium set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, prior to September 15, 2023, the Issuer may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 103.75% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with the net cash proceeds from one or more equity offerings. On or after September 15, 2023, the Issuer may redeem some or all of the Notes at a redemption price decreasing annually from 101.875% of the principal amount to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In the event of a change of control triggering event (as defined in the Indenture), the Issuer will be required to offer to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. If holders of not less than 90.0% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes validly tender in connection with any tender offer or other offer to purchase the Notes (including pursuant to a change of control offer, an alternate offer, or an offer to purchase with the proceeds from any asset disposition, all as described in the indenture), the Issuer will have the right to redeem the remaining Notes outstanding following such purchase at a cash redemption price equal to the applicable price paid to holders in such purchase, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Issuer and the guarantors. Under the terms of the Indenture, the Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Issuer’s and the guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness, and rank contractually senior in right of payment to the Issuer’s and the guarantors’ future indebtedness and other obligations that are expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes. The Notes are effectively subordinated to the Issuer’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness, including secured indebtedness under the Credit Facilities, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The Notes and guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities of the Issuer’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes. The Indenture contains covenants that, subject to exceptions and qualifications, among other things, limit the Issuer’s ability and the ability of its Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture) to incur additional indebtedness and guarantee indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions or repurchase or redeem Switch, Inc.’s capital stock, prepay, redeem or repurchase certain indebtedness, issue certain preferred stock or similar equity securities, make loans and investments, dispose of assets, incur liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, enter into agreements restricting the ability to pay dividends, and consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all assets. The Indenture contains customary events of default including, without limitation, failure to make required payments, failure to comply with certain agreements or covenants, cross-acceleration to certain other indebtedness in excess of specified amounts, certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency, and failure to pay certain judgments. An event of default under the notes will allow either the trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes to accelerate, or in certain cases, will automatically cause the acceleration of the maturity of all outstanding Notes. Fair Value The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was approximately $1.01 billion and $755.0 million, respectively, compared to its carrying value, excluding debt issuance costs and original issue discount, of $1.00 billion and $755.0 million, respectively. The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was based on Level 2 inputs using quoted market prices on or about September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Operating Leases During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, lease costs related to operating leases were $1.8 million and $2.0 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, lease costs related to operating leases were $5.7 million and $5.9 million, respectively. Related party lease costs included in these amounts were $1.1 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $3.5 million and $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Legal Proceedings On September 7, 2017, Switch, Ltd. and Switch, Inc. were named in a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada by V5 Technologies formerly d/b/a Cobalt Data Centers. The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that Switch, Ltd. and Switch, Inc. monopolized the Las Vegas Metropolitan area of Southern Nevada’s data center colocation market and engaged in unfair business practices leading to the failure of Cobalt Data Centers in 2015 and seeks monetary damages in an amount yet to be disclosed. Discovery closed in February 2020. In March 2020, both parties filed motions for summary judgment and are waiting for the court to rule on the motions. Switch, Ltd. and Switch, Inc. are vigorously defending the case. On September 12, 2017, Switch, Ltd. filed a complaint in the Eighth Judicial District of Nevada against the consultant, Stephen Fairfax, and his business, MTechnology Inc. Among other claims, Switch raised allegations of breach of contract and misappropriation of trade secrets. The complaint also alleged that Aligned Data Centers LLC (“Aligned”) hired Mr. Fairfax and MTechnology Inc. to design their data centers; that this consultant had toured Switch under a non-disclosure agreement; and that this consultant breached his confidentiality agreements with Switch by using Switch’s designs to design the Aligned data centers. Switch, Ltd. is seeking an injunction to prevent the defendants in the lawsuit from infringing Switch, Ltd.’s patents, as well as other remedies. The parties are currently engaged in discovery. Four substantially similar putative class action complaints, captioned Martz v. Switch, Inc. et al. (filed April 20, 2018); Palkon v. Switch, Inc. et al. (filed April 30, 2018); Chun v. Switch, Inc. et al. (filed May 11, 2018); and Silverberg v. Switch, Inc. et al. (filed June 6, 2018), were filed in the Eighth Judicial District of Nevada, and subsequently consolidated into a single case (the “State Court Securities Action”). Additionally, on June 11, 2018, one putative class action complaint captioned Cai v. Switch, Inc. et al. was filed in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (the “Federal Court Securities Action,” and collectively with the State Court Securities Action, the “Securities Actions”) and subsequently transferred to the Eighth Judicial District of Nevada in August 2018 and the federal court appointed Oscar Farach lead plaintiff. These lawsuits were filed against Switch, Inc., certain current and former officers and directors and certain underwriters of Switch, Inc.’s IPO alleging federal securities law violations in connection with the IPO. These lawsuits were brought by purported stockholders of Switch, Inc. seeking to represent a class of stockholders who purchased Class A common stock in or traceable to the IPO, and seek unspecified damages and other relief. With respect to the Federal Court Securities Action, in July 2019, the federal court granted Switch, Inc.’s motion to dismiss in part, which narrowed the scope of the plaintiff’s case. In December 2019, Switch, Inc. filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings, and in July 2020, the federal court entered a judgment in favor of Switch, Inc. In October 2020, Switch, Inc. filed a motion to dismiss in the State Court Securities Action, and a hearing is scheduled for January 2021. Switch, Inc. believes that these lawsuits are without merit and intends to continue to vigorously defend against them. On September 10, 2018, two purported stockholders of Switch, Inc. filed substantially similar shareholder derivative complaints, respectively captioned Liu v. Roy et al., and Zhao v. Roy et al., in the Eighth Judicial District of Nevada, which were subsequently consolidated into a single case (the “Derivative Shareholder Action”). These lawsuits allege breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, waste of corporate assets, abuse of control, and gross mismanagement against certain current and former officers and directors of Switch, Inc. The plaintiffs also named Switch, Inc. as a nominal defendant. The complaints arise generally from the same allegations described in the State Court Securities Action and Federal Court Securities Action. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages on Switch, Inc.’s behalf from the officer and director defendants, certain corporate governance actions, compensatory awards, and other relief. In December 2019, the court granted the parties’ stipulation to stay the Derivative Shareholder Action until the earlier of any of the following events: the Securities Actions are resolved with prejudice as to each defendant or a motion for summary judgment is resolved in the Federal Court Securities Action. Because the State Court Securities Action is still pending, the Derivative Shareholder Action remains stayed. The outcomes of the legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable, subject to significant uncertainties, and could be material to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for a particular period. Where the Company is a defendant, it will vigorously defend against the claims pleaded against it. These actions are each in preliminary stages and management has determined that based on proceedings to date, it is currently unable to determine the probability of the outcome of these actions or the range of reasonably possible loss, if any.

Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company recorded net increases in deferred tax assets of $4.9 million and $65.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and $15.7 million and $62.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, with a corresponding increase to additional paid in capital, resulting from changes in the outside basis difference on Switch, Inc.’s investment in Switch, Ltd. The Company has determined it is more-likely-than-not that it will be able to realize this deferred tax asset in the future. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted in March 2020. The Company does not expect the provisions of the CARES Act to have a significant impact on the effective tax rate or the deferred income tax positions of the Company. Tax Receivable Agreement The Company has recorded a liability under the tax receivable agreement of $243.7 million and $162.1 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which provides for the payment of 85% of the amount of the tax benefits, if any, that Switch, Inc. is deemed to realize as a result of increases in the tax basis of its ownership in Switch, Ltd. related to exchanges of noncontrolling interest for Class A common stock. No amounts are expected to be paid within the next 12 months.

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Non-controlling Interest | Noncontrolling Interest Ownership Switch, Inc. owns a minority economic interest in Switch, Ltd., where “economic interest” means the right to receive any distributions, whether cash, property or securities of Switch, Ltd., in connection with Common Units. Switch, Inc. presents interest held by noncontrolling interest holders within noncontrolling interest in the consolidated financial statements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, Switch, Inc. issued an aggregate of 18.3 million shares of Class A common stock to members of Switch, Ltd. in connection with such members’ redemptions of an equivalent number of Common Units and corresponding cancellation and retirement of an equivalent number of Switch, Inc.’s Class B common stock. Such retired shares of Class B common stock may not be reissued. The redemptions occurred pursuant to the terms of the Switch operating agreement entered into in connection with the Company’s IPO. In February 2020, Switch, Inc.’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase by Switch, Ltd. of up to $20.0 million of its outstanding Common Units, which authorization expired unused on March 17, 2020. In addition, in May 2020, Switch, Inc.’s Board of Directors authorized the repurchase by Switch, Ltd. of up to $20.0 million of its outstanding Common Units held by Founder Members, with any unused amount from this authorization expiring on June 16, 2020. Switch, Ltd. elected to repurchase 1.1 million of its outstanding Common Units for $20.0 million from Founder Members under the May 2020 authorization. Pursuant to this repurchase, Switch, Inc. canceled and retired an equivalent amount of its shares of Class B common stock, and such shares may not be reissued. Repurchases under the Common Unit repurchase program were funded from Switch’s existing cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had no repurchase authority remaining. The ownership of the Common Units is summarized as follows:
________________________________________ (1) Common Units held by Switch, Inc. exclude 59,000 and 80,000 Common Units underlying unvested restricted stock awards as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. (2) Common Units held by noncontrolling interest holders exclude 2.0 million and 3.2 million unvested Common Unit awards as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The Company uses the weighted average ownership percentages during the period to calculate the income before income taxes attributable to Switch, Inc. and the noncontrolling interest holders of Switch, Ltd.

Net Income Per Share | Net Income Per Share The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:
Shares of Class B and Class C common stock do not share in the earnings or losses of Switch, Inc. and are therefore not participating securities. As such, separate calculations of basic and diluted net income per share for each of Class B and Class C common stock under the two-class method have not been presented. The following table presents potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share for the periods presented because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.
________________________________________ (1) Represents the number of instruments outstanding at the end of the period. Application of the treasury stock method would reduce this amount if they had a dilutive effect and were included in the computation of diluted net income per share. (2) Shares of Class B and Class C common stock at the end of the period are considered potentially dilutive shares of Class A common stock under application of the if-converted method.

Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. As the sole manager of Switch, Ltd., Switch, Inc. operates and controls all of the business and affairs of Switch, has the sole voting interest in, and controls the management of, Switch, and has the obligation to absorb the losses of, and receive benefits from, Switch. Accordingly, Switch, Inc. identifies itself as the primary beneficiary of Switch and began consolidating Switch in its consolidated financial statements as of October 11, 2017, the closing date of the IPO, resulting in a noncontrolling interest related to the common units of Switch, Ltd. (“Common Units”) held by members, including Rob Roy, the Founder, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Switch, Ltd., and an affiliated entity of Mr. Roy (collectively, the “Founder Members”), other than Switch, Inc. on its consolidated financial statements. The Company periodically evaluates entities for consolidation either through ownership of a majority voting interest, or through means other than voting interest, in accordance with the Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”) accounting model. A VIE is an entity in which either (i) the equity investors as a group, if any, lack the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities of such entity that most significantly impact such entity’s economic performance or (ii) the equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance that entity’s activities without additional subordinated financial support.

Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, but not limited to, those related to the allowance for credit losses, useful lives of property and equipment, deferred income taxes, liabilities under the tax receivable agreement, equity-based compensation, deferred revenue, incremental borrowing rate, fair value of performance obligations, and probability assessments of exercising renewal options on leases. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Concentration of Credit and Other Risks | Concentration of Credit and Other Risks Although the Company operates primarily in Nevada, realization of its receivables and its future operations and cash flows could be affected by adverse economic conditions, both regionally and elsewhere in the United States. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s largest customer and its affiliates comprised 14% and 13%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company’s largest customer and its affiliates comprised 14% and 12%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue. No customer accounted for 10% or more of total receivables as of September 30, 2020 and two customers, one of which was the Company’s largest customer and its affiliate, accounted for 10% or more of total receivables as of December 31, 2019.

Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Contract Balances The opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract assets, net of allowance for credit losses, and deferred revenue are as follows:
________________________________________ (1) Amounts are included within other current assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. (2) Amounts are included within other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. (3) Amounts include $3.8 million and $2.3 million of deferred revenue related to leases as of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020, respectively. (4) Amounts include $7.9 million and $2.6 million of deferred revenue related to leases as of December 31, 2019 and September 30, 2020, respectively. The differences between the opening and closing balances of the Company’s deferred revenue primarily result from timing differences between the Company’s satisfaction of performance obligations and the associated customer payments. Revenue recognized from the balance of deferred revenue as of December 31, 2019 was $2.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and $12.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, no impairment losses related to contract assets were recognized on the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Remaining Performance Obligations Remaining performance obligations represent contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized in future periods. These amounts as of September 30, 2020 were $711.7 million, 39%, 48%, and 9% of which is expected to be recognized over the next year, to three years, and to five years, respectively, with the remainder recognized thereafter. The remaining performance obligations do not include estimates of variable consideration related to unsatisfied performance obligations, such as the usage of metered power, or any contracts that could be terminated without significant penalties.

Fair Value Measurement | Fair Value Measurements Information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is presented below:
Transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy are recorded at the end of the reporting period during which the events or changes in circumstances that caused the transfers to occur. There were no transfers between levels of fair value hierarchy during the periods presented. The fair value of interest rate swaps was measured using a present value of cash flow valuation technique based on forward yield curves for the same or similar financial instruments.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2014-09–Revenue from Contracts with Customers and ASU 2016-02–Leases In the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) and ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) effective January 1, 2019, each using the modified retrospective approach. Results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 have been modified to reflect the adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2019. ASU 2016-13–Financial Instruments–Credit Losses In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). Under this guidance, a company is required to use a new forward-looking “expected loss” model for trade and other receivables that generally results in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, which, among other amendments, allows for certain policy elections and practical expedients related to accrued interest on financial instruments. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, which granted targeted transition relief by allowing entities to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10 and ASU 2019-11, which addressed certain aspects of the guidance related to effective dates, expected recoveries, troubled debt restructurings, accrued interest receivables, and financial assets secured by collateral. In February and March 2020, the FASB also issued ASU 2020-02 and ASU 2020-03, respectively, which provide certain amendments and improvements to sections of ASU 2016-13. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method. As a result of this adoption, the Company measured an allowance for current expected credit losses for its accounts receivable and contract assets through a loss rate method; whereby, based on past events, such as prior write-offs, it determined expected losses as of the adoption date, while adjusting for current and forward-looking conditions, such as economic news and trends, customer concentrations, changes in customer payment terms, and customer credit-worthiness. Customer credit-worthiness is determined through indicators such as third-party credit ratings, collection experience, and other internal metrics. If a customer‘s credit-worthiness resulted in an impairment of their ability to make payments, greater allowances for credit losses may be required. The Company pooled its assets based on these conditions such that each asset pool reflected a homogenous set of asset risks, including characteristics such as credit ratings, customer industry, contract term, and historical credit loss patterns. For any period beyond a reasonable and supportable forecast for current and forward-looking conditions, the Company reverted to a loss rate based only on historical information. The adoption of this guidance did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASU 2018-13–Fair Value Measurement In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework–Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”). The amendments in this update modify the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. In addition, in November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, which provides clarifications and improvements on sections of ASU 2018-13. The Company adopted this guidance retrospectively as of March 31, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASU 2019-12–Income Taxes In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740)–Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). The amendments in ASU 2019-12 provide certain clarifications and simplify accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in the current guidance. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted in periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements. The Company has not decided if early adoption will be considered. ASU 2020-04–Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)–Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). The amendments in ASU 2020-04 are elective and provide optional expedients and exceptions to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. The Company elected to adopt this guidance prospectively as of March 31, 2020 as it has LIBOR-based contracts extending beyond the expected discontinuation of LIBOR, including its term loan facility, revolving credit facility, and interest rate swap agreements. The adoption of this guidance did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. ASU 2020-10–Codification Improvements In October 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-10, Codification Improvements (“ASU 2020-10”). The amendments in ASU 2020-10 improve codification by ensuring that all guidance that includes an option for an entity to provide information in the notes to financial statements is codified within the disclosure section of the codification. The Company early adopted this guidance retrospectively as of July 1, 2020. The early adoption of this guidance did not materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Reclassification | Reclassification The Company reclassified the current portion of its interest rate swap liability to present it separately from accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 to be consistent with the current period presentation. The reclassification had no impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or net cash flows.
