•

First quarter 2011 activity, as previously reported:

 

•

Signed five leases totaling 13.65 megawatts (“MW”) and 74,982 raised square feet with an average lease term of 7.9 years.

 

•

Issued 4.1 million shares of 7.625% Series B perpetual preferred stock, raising net proceeds of approximately $97.5 million.

 

•

Amended line of credit to eliminate the 1% LIBOR floor and lowered the interest rate. As of today, there are no borrowings under this facility.

 

•

Commenced development of CH1 Phase II totaling 18.2 MW which is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2012.

 

•

Subsequent to the first quarter:

 

•

Signed one pre-lease totaling 2.28 MW at SC1 Phase I, which represents 13% of the building.

Hossein Fateh, President and Chief Executive Officer of the company, said, “We started strong in 2011, leasing 16 megawatts of critical load year to date, which is approximately 70% of the total leased in 2010. Also, we remain on time and budget to open our new developments, SC1 Phase I and ACC6 Phase I, in the third quarter of 2011. These two developments total 31.2 megawatts, representing a 20% increase in our operating portfolio. We continue to see good demand for our wholesale locations.”

First Quarter 2011 Results

For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the company reported earnings of $0.15 per share compared to $0.08 per share for the first quarter of 2010. Revenues increased 20%, or $11.6 million, to $68.5 million for the first quarter of 2011 over the first quarter of 2010. This increase is primarily due to leases commencing at CH1 Phase I, ACC5 Phase II and NJ1 Phase I.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $0.38 per share compared to $0.30 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The increase of 27% or $0.08 per share is due to:

 

•

Higher operating income of $0.05 per share due to leases commencing at CH1 Phase I, ACC5 Phase II and NJ1 Phase I, and

 

•

Lower fixed charges of $0.03 per share representing lower interest expense of $0.08 per share due to the payoff of the ACC4 Term Loan in October 2010 and higher interest capitalization in the first quarter of 2011, partially offset by preferred dividends of $0.05 per share.

Portfolio Update

During the first quarter of 2011, the company:

 

•

Signed five leases totaling 13.65 MW and 74,982 raised square feet with an average lease term of 7.9 years and approximate contract value of $230 million. Two of the leases are at ACC5 Phase II totaling 4.55 MW of critical load and 22,000 raised square feet and three pre-leases are at CH1 Phase II totaling 9.10 MW of critical load and 52,982 raised square feet. The CH1 Phase II pre-leases are expected to commence in the first quarter of 2012.

 

•

Commenced three leases totaling 5.12 MW of critical load and 24,683 raised square feet. Two commenced at ACC5 Phase II totaling 4.55 MW of critical load and 22,000 raised square feet and one at NJ1 Phase I totaling 0.57 MW of critical load and 2,683 raised square feet.

Subsequent to the first quarter, the company signed one pre-lease at SC1 Phase I totaling 2.28 MW of critical load, a lease term of 7.0 years and a lease commencement expected in the third quarter of 2011.

SC1 Phase I in Santa Clara, California, ACC6 Phase I in Ashburn, Virginia and CH1 Phase II in Elk Grove Village, Illinois are in development. The company currently expects SC1 Phase I and ACC6 Phase I to be completed during the third quarter of 2011. CH1 Phase II is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2012. Each development is fully funded and on schedule.

The company has entered into a contract, subject to customary closing conditions, to purchase an undeveloped parcel of land totaling 23 acres adjacent to the ACC data center campus in Ashburn, Virginia for $9.6 million. The company expects to close on this purchase in 2011. This parcel of land would allow for the construction of the company’s prototype data center of 36.4 MW of critical load at some future date, subject to obtaining the appropriate funding.

Capital Markets Update

In March 2011, the company sold 4.1 million shares of 7.625% Series B perpetual preferred stock at a price of $25 per share, raising net proceeds of approximately $97.5 million in an underwritten public offering. The net proceeds from this offering, together with borrowings under its revolving credit facility, are expected to fully fund the development of CH1 Phase II.

In February 2011, the company amended its $100 million line of credit and lowered its interest rate on this facility by eliminating the LIBOR floor of 1% and instituting a tiered pricing grid based upon leverage that ranges from LIBOR plus 3.25% to LIBOR plus 4.25%. As of today, there are no borrowings under this facility.

2011 Guidance

The company has established an FFO guidance range of $0.39 to $0.42 per share for the second quarter of 2011. The primary differences between the company’s first quarter FFO and the midpoint of the second quarter 2011 FFO guidance are:

 

•

Higher operating income of $0.02 per share due to three leases that commenced in the first quarter of 2011 and one lease that commenced in April 2011 and

 

•

Lower fixed charges of $0.01 per share representing lower interest expense of $0.02 per share due to higher interest capitalization in the second quarter of 2011, partially offset by preferred dividends of $0.01 per share.

The company reaffirms the FFO guidance range of $1.50 to $1.70 per share for the full year 2011.

The assumptions underlying this guidance can be found on page 15 of this press release.

Funds from operations, or FFO, is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure for REITs. The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the definition that was adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus specified non-cash items, such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company also presents FFO attributable to common shares and OP units, which is FFO excluding preferred stock dividends. FFO attributable to common shares and OP units per share is calculated on a basis consistent with net income attributable to common shares and OP units and reflects adjustments to net income for preferred stock dividends.

The Company 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 expenses. The Company also believes that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of equity REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare the Company’s operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes real estate related depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of the Company’s properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company’s properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact the Company’s results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of the Company’s performance is limited.

While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of equity REITs, other equity REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO and, accordingly, FFO as disclosed by such other REITs may not be comparable to the Company’s FFO. Therefore, the Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of its historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated statements of operations. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or to cash flow from operating activities (each as computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to pay dividends or make distributions.

The Company also presents FFO with supplemental adjustments to arrive at Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”). AFFO is FFO attributable to common shares and OP units excluding straight-line revenue, non-cash stock based compensation, gain or loss on derivative instruments, acquisition of service agreements, below market lease amortization net of above market lease amortization and early extinguishment of debt costs. AFFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operations as a measure of liquidity and is not necessarily indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs including the Company’s ability to pay dividends. In addition, AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements employed by other companies. The Company’s management uses AFFO in management reports to provide a measure of REIT operating performance that can be compared to other companies using AFFO.

(1)	Stabilized operating properties are either 85% or more leased or have been in service for 24 months or greater.

(2)

Gross building area is the entire building area, including raised square footage (the portion of gross building area where the tenants’ computer servers are located), tenant common areas, areas controlled by the Company (such as the mechanical, telecommunications and utility rooms) and, in some facilities, individual office and storage space leased on an as available basis to the tenants.

(3)	Raised square footage is that portion of gross building area where the tenants locate their computer servers. The Company considers raised square footage to be the net rentable square footage in each of its facilities.

(4)	Critical load (also referred to as IT load or load used by tenants’ servers or related equipment) is the power available for exclusive use by tenants expressed in terms of megawatt, or MW, or kilowatt, or kW (1 MW is equal to 1,000 kW).

(5)

Percentage leased is expressed as a percentage of critical load that is subject to an executed lease. Percentage commenced is expressed as a percentage of critical load where the lease has commenced under generally accepted accounting principles. Leases executed as of March 31, 2011 (including the 13% NJ1 Phase I lease that commenced on April 1, 2011) represent $192 million of base rent on a straight-line basis and $168 million on a cash basis over the next twelve months. This excludes contractual management fees and approximately $2 million net amortization increase in revenue of above and below market leases.

(6)

In February 2011, the Company executed a new lease at CH1 Phase II with an existing tenant of CH1 Phase I, representing 3.9 MW of available critical load. In exchange, the Company agreed to take back 0.9 MW leased by the tenant in CH1 Phase I, lowering the percentage leased and commenced from 100% to 95%.

Funds from operations, or FFO, is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure for REITs. The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the definition that was adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus specified non-cash items, such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company also presents FFO attributable to common shares and OP units, which is FFO excluding preferred stock dividends. FFO attributable to common shares and OP units per share is calculated on a basis consistent with net income attributable to common shares and OP units and reflects adjustments to net income for preferred stock dividends.

The Company 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 expenses. The Company also believes that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of equity REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare the Company’s operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes real estate related depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of the Company’s properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of the Company’s properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact the Company’s results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of the Company’s performance is limited.

While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of equity REITs, other equity REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO and, accordingly, FFO as disclosed by such other REITs may not be comparable to the Company’s FFO. Therefore, the Company believes that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of its historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated statements of operations. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or to cash flow from operating activities (each as computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to pay dividends or make distributions.
