Sales Activity

CoreSite achieved new and expansion sales of $12.5 million of annualized GAAP rent for the quarter, which included $5.6 million of core retail colocation sales and $6.9 million of scale leasing. Retail colocation pricing was stable, with continued expansion with strategic customers and strength in new logo acquisition.

“The hard work of our team resulted in strategic sales wins for the quarter,” said Steve Smith, CoreSite’s Chief Revenue Officer. “Although we continued to see elongated sales cycles due to the pandemic, we are now seeing more reprioritization of digital transformation by enterprises, and we continue to build on and maintain a robust pipeline to support future quarter sales.”

“Our strong scale leasing this quarter included one relatively modest hyperscale lease, and we expect to continue to use our increased capacity to compete for scale opportunities with those customers who enrich our ecosystem,” said Steve Smith.

As of September 30, 2020, CoreSite had annualized GAAP backlog of $17.8 million, or $23.6 million on a cash basis.

Other Financial Results

CoreSite’s $154.0 million of operating revenues for the third quarter included $130.3 million of rental, power and related revenue, reflecting 6.3% year over year growth, $21.1 million of interconnection revenue, 10.8% year over year growth, and $2.5 million of office, light-industrial and other revenue. Net income was $24.1 million for the quarter, or $0.50 attributable to each common diluted share.

Development Activity

CoreSite continues to execute on its property development pipeline. The Company has delivered a significant amount of capacity year-to-date, which enables it generally to turn up services for its customers quickly.

oDuring the third quarter, CoreSite completed its NY2 power infrastructure project, which adds an incremental 4 megawatts of power to support existing space and completed computer rooms.
oIn mid-October, the Company completed and placed into service LA3 Phase 1, comprising 51,000 NRSF and an incremental 6 MWs of turn-key data center capacity. LA3 Phase 1 was 74% pre-leased, and the customer lease commenced in October.
oThe Company has completed and placed into service 193,000 NRSF and 22 MWs of capacity year to date, including the completion of LA3 Phase 1.

CoreSite’s ongoing data center development and operational position includes –

othe ability to increase its occupied footprint of Tier 1, purpose-built data centers, both owned or leased, by approximately 2.1 million NRSF, or about 91.8%, including space unoccupied, under construction, pre-construction or held for development, and
oowning (versus leasing) 92.4% of its current and developable 4.3 million data center NRSF, supporting operational control, expansion and long-term expense management.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

The Company’s balance sheet remains strong, with a ratio of net principal debt to third quarter annualized adjusted EBITDA of 5.2 times, or 4.9 times including backlog. As of the end of the third quarter, CoreSite had $326.8 million of current liquidity, including $2.9 million of cash and $323.9 million of available capacity on its revolving credit facility.

Financing

On July 14th, the Company received the remaining $50 million of proceeds from the 7-year $150 million unsecured private placement of senior notes that it closed on May 6th. CoreSite used the proceeds to repay outstanding amounts on its revolving credit facility and for general working capital. The Company ended the quarter with 7% variable debt and 93% fixed debt.

2020 Guidance

CoreSite increased its 2020 Guidance related to net income attributable to common diluted shares to its new guidance range of $1.92 to $1.96 per share from its previous range of $1.81 to $1.91 per share. In addition, CoreSite increased its 2020 FFO per share guidance to its new guidance range of $5.26 to $5.30 per share from its previous range of $5.15 to $5.25 per share, and increased its adjusted EBITDA to $323 million at the midpoint from its midpoint of $321 million previously. The increase of $0.08 per share at the midpoint of FFO, or 1.5%, is largely driven by COVID-related travel and entertainment expense savings, decreased property taxes and insurance expense, and management of other operating costs. CoreSite’s full 2020 guidance can be found in the Company’s third quarter 2020 Supplemental Earnings Information on page 23.

(1)Cost includes capital expenditures related to the specific project / phase and, for CH2 Phase 1, NY2 Phase 3, SV8 Phase 3, and VA3 Phase 1B projects, also includes allocations of capital expenditures related to land, building shell, and infrastructure that were incurred at the beginning of the overall project.
(2)Includes customer leases that have been signed as of September 30, 2020, but have not commenced. The percent leased is determined based on leased NRSF as a proportion of total pre-stabilized NRSF.
(3)As previously disclosed, in order to meet customer demand and deploy capital efficiently, the NY2 Phase 3 development project was bifurcated into two projects, including (1) a 34,589 NRSF computer room, which was placed into service in Q1 2020, and (2) a 4MW power infrastructure project, which was completed in Q3 2020. The power infrastructure project was designed to support additional capacity in the 34,589 NRSF computer room as well as future computer rooms. As such, we have updated the NY2 Phase 3 cost to include an allocation associated with the additional power capacity provided by the power infrastructure project completed during the quarter.

(1)In addition to new development and incremental capacity in existing core and shell buildings, we have land adjacent to our NY2 facility, in the form of an existing parking lot. By utilizing this land, we believe we can build approximately 100,000 NRSF of data center capacity in Secaucus, New Jersey, upon receipt of necessary entitlements.
(2)We have an estimated $30.5 million in deferred expansion capital under construction at multiple properties as of September 30, 2020, of which $17.4 million has been incurred to-date. We estimate approximately $25 million of additional deferred expansion capital may be required in the future to support existing or anticipated future customer utilization.

Definitions

This document includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are helpful in understanding our business, as further described below. Our definition and calculation of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those of other Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) and therefore may not be comparable. The non-GAAP measures should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of our performance and should be considered only a supplement to net income, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as measures of profitability and/or liquidity, computed in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Funds From Operations “AFFO” is a non-GAAP measure that is used as a supplemental
operating measure specifically for comparing year over year ability to fund dividend distribution from operating activities. We use AFFO as a basis to address our ability to fund our dividend payments. AFFO is calculated by adding to or subtracting from FFO:

1.Plus: Amortization of deferred financing costs and hedge amortization
2.Plus: Non-cash compensation
3.Plus: Non-real estate depreciation
4.Plus: Impairment charges
5.Plus: Below market debt amortization
6.Plus: Original issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred stock
7.Plus / Less: Net straight line rent adjustments (lessor revenue and lessee expense)
8.Plus / Less: Net amortization of above and below market leases
9.Less: Recurring capital expenditures
10.Less: Tenant improvements
11.Less: Capitalized leasing costs

Capitalized leasing costs consist of commissions payable to third parties, including brokers, leasing agents, referral agents, and internal sales commissions payable to employees. Capitalized leasing costs are accrued and deducted from AFFO generally in the period the lease is executed. Leasing costs are generally paid a) to third party brokers and internal sales employees 50% at customer lease signing and 50% at lease commencement and b) to referral and leasing agents monthly over the lease term as and to the extent we receive payment from the end customer.

AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow from operations for the period, and is only intended to provide an additional measure of performance by adjusting for the effect of certain items noted above included in FFO. Other REITs widely report AFFO, however, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and, accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs.

Annualized Rent

Monthly contractual rent under existing commenced customer leases as of quarter-end, multiplied by 12. This amount reflects total annualized base rent before any one-time or non-recurring rent abatements and excludes power revenue, interconnection revenue and operating expense reimbursement.

Data Center Leasing Metrics

Cash Rental Churn Rate – represents data center leases which are not renewed or are terminated during the period. Rental churn is calculated based on the annualized cash rent of data center expired leases terminated in the period, compared with total data center annualized rent at the beginning of the period.
Cash and GAAP Rent Growth – represents the change in rental rates on renewed data center leases signed during the period, as compared with the previous rental rates for the same space. Cash and GAAP rent growth are calculated based on annualized rent from the renewed data center lease compared to annualized rent from the expired data center lease.

Data Center Net Rentable Square Feet (“NRSF”)

Both occupied and available data center NRSF includes a factor based on management’s estimate of space to account for a customer’s proportionate share of required data center support space (such as the mechanical, telecommunications and utility rooms) and building common areas, which may be updated on a periodic basis to reflect the most current build-out of our properties.

Deferred Expansion Capital

As we construct data center capacity, we work to optimize both the amount of the capital we deploy on power and cooling infrastructure and the timing of that capital deployment; as such, we generally construct our power and cooling infrastructure supporting our data center NRSF based on our estimate of customer utilization. This practice can result in our investment at a later time in Deferred Expansion Capital. We define Deferred Expansion Capital as our estimate of the incremental capital we may invest in the future to add power or cooling infrastructure to support existing or anticipated future customer utilization of NRSF within our operating data centers. From time to time, we may revise our estimate of Deferred Expansion Capital as well as the potential time period during which we may invest it. See the Development Summary for more detail.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (EBITDAre) and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDAre is calculated in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”). EBITDAre is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses from the sale of depreciated property, and impairment of depreciated property. We calculate adjusted EBITDA by adding our non-cash compensation expense, transaction costs from unsuccessful deals and business combinations and litigation expense to EBITDAre as well as adjusting for the impact of other impairment charges, gains or losses from sales of undepreciated land and gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt. Management uses EBITDAre and adjusted EBITDA as indicators of our ability to incur and service debt. In addition, we consider EBITDAre and adjusted EBITDA to be appropriate supplemental measures of our performance because they eliminate depreciation and interest, which permits investors to view income from operations without the impact of non-cash depreciation or the cost of debt. However, because EBITDAre and adjusted EBITDA are calculated before recurring cash charges including interest expense and taxes, and are not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of our business, their utilization as a cash flow measurement is limited.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a supplemental measure of our performance which should be considered
along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash provided by operating activities as a measure of operating performance. We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by Nareit. FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and undepreciated land and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Our management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, by 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.

We offer this measure because we recognize that investors use FFO as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited 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. FFO is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered a measure of liquidity, an alternative to net income, cash provided by operating activities or any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. In addition, our calculations of FFO are not necessarily comparable to FFO as calculated by other REITs that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from us. Investors in our securities should not rely on these measures as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including net income.

GAAP Annualized Rent

Represents the monthly average contractual rent as stated on customer contracts, multiplied by 12. This amount is inclusive of any one-time or non-recurring rent abatements and excludes power revenue, interconnection revenue and operating expense reimbursement.

Monthly Recurring Revenue per Cabinet Equivalent Billed

Represents the turn-key monthly recurring colocation revenue (“MRR”) per cabinet equivalent billed. We define MRR as recurring contractual revenue, including rental, power, and interconnection revenue and operating expense reimbursement, under existing commenced customer leases. MRR per cabinet equivalent is calculated as (current quarter MRR/3) divided by ((quarter-end cabinet equivalents billed plus prior quarter-end cabinet equivalents billed)/2). Cabinet equivalents are calculated as cage-usable square feet (turn-key leased NRSF/NRSF factor) divided by 25.

Net Operating Income (“NOI”) and Cash NOI – NOI, and cash NOI are supplemental measures for the operating performance of the Company’s portfolio. NOI is operating revenues less operating expenses adjusted for items such as depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, transaction costs from unsuccessful deals and business combinations and litigation expenses. Cash NOI is NOI less straight-line rents and above and below market rent amortization.

NRSF Held for Development

Represents incremental data center capacity that may be constructed in existing facilities that requires significant capital investment in order to develop new data center facilities. The estimates are based on current construction plans and expectations regarding entitlements, and they are subject to change based on current economic conditions, final zoning approvals, and the supply and demand of the market. The estimated NRSF for new development projects is based on the entire building size. NRSF placed into service may change depending on the final construction and utilization of the built space.

NRSF Under Construction

Represents NRSF for which substantial activities are ongoing to prepare the property for its intended use following development. The NRSF reflects management’s estimate of engineering drawings and required support space and is subject to change based on final demising of space. TKD estimated development costs include two components: 1) general construction to ready the NRSF as data center space and 2) power, cooling and other infrastructure to provide the designed amount of power capacity for the project. Following development completion, incremental capital, referred to as Deferred Expansion Capital, may be invested to support existing or anticipated future customer utilization of NRSF within our operating data centers.

NRSF Pre-Construction

Represents NRSF for which the projects are in the design and permitting stage. Construction will commence upon receipt of the applicable permits. The estimated completion dates are subject to change based on the timing of final design and permitting approvals.

Turn-Key Same-Store

Includes turn-key data center space that was leased or available to be leased to our colocation customers as of December 31, 2018, at each of our properties, and excludes powered shell data center space, office and light-industrial space and space for which development was completed and became available to be leased after December 31, 2018. The turn-key same-store space as of December 31, 2018, is 1,972,441 NRSF. We track same-store on a computer room basis within each data center facility.

Stabilized and Pre-Stabilized NRSF

Data center projects and facilities that recently have been developed and are in the initial lease-up phase are classified as pre-stabilized NRSF until they reach 85% occupancy or have been in service for 24 months. Pre-stabilized projects and facilities become stabilized operating properties at the earlier of achievement of 85% occupancy or 24 months after development completion and are included in the stabilized operating NRSF.
