Christopher Eldredge, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Just seven months into 2016, DFT has surpassed the record-level of leasing we achieved in full year 2015.  In the current year-to-date, customers absorbed 46.85 megawatts of critical load versus the 46.83 megawatts leased in all of 2015. Demand from wholesale customers remains particularly strong.  During and subsequent to the second quarter of 2016, we leased or pre-leased 42% of our available inventory.  This bodes well for DFT's future developments and continuation of positive trends in rental rate growth."

Second Quarter 2016 Results

For the quarter ended June 30, 2016, earnings were $0.49 per share compared to $0.30 per share in the second quarter of 2015.  The increase in earnings per share was primarily due to:

  • Gain on sale of our NJ1 data center facility of $23.1 million, or $0.26 per share, partially offset by

  • Write-off of issuance costs associated with the redemption of preferred shares of $8.8 million, or $0.10 per share, and

  • Severance costs and equity accelerations for the NJ1 employees totaling $0.9 million, or $0.01 per share. 

Excluding these items, earnings increased $0.04 per share year over year, which was primarily due to new leases that commenced in 2015 and in the first half of 2016.  Revenues increased 13%, or $14.7 million, to $128.5 million for the second quarter of 2016 over the second quarter of 2015.  The increase in revenues was primarily due to new leases commencing.

NAREIT Funds from Operations ("FFO") excludes the gain on sale of NJ1 and was $0.53 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 compared to $0.62 per share for the second quarter of 2015.  The decline was primarily due to the write-off of issuance costs associated with the redemption of preferred shares and the severance costs and equity accelerations for the NJ1 employees, partially offset by the items discussed below for Normalized FFO.

Normalized FFO excludes the gain on sale of NJ1, the severance costs and equity accelerations of the NJ1 employees and the write-off associated with our redeemed preferred shares.  Normalized FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $0.64 per share compared to $0.62 per share for the second quarter of 2015. Normalized FFO increased $0.02 per share, or 3%, from the prior year quarter primarily due to the following:

  • Increased operating income excluding depreciation of $0.12 per share primarily due to new leases commencing, partially offset by

  • Increased interest expense of $0.03 per share primarily due to a higher level of outstanding debt related to development financing, and

  • Dilution of $0.07 per share from the issuance of common equity in the first quarter of 2016.

Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was $0.64 per share compared to $0.70 per share in the second quarter of 2015.  AFFO decreased $0.06 per share, or 9% from the prior year.  The decrease was primarily due to the following:

  • A decrease in the add-back of straight-line revenues of $0.06 per share primarily resulting from 2015 collections from Net Data Centers that were not applied to revenue and higher straight-line revenues at ACC2 in 2015 versus 2016, and

  • Increased capitalized leasing commissions of $0.02 per share primarily due to payments to brokers, partially offset by

  • Increased Normalized FFO of $0.02 per share.

First Half 2016 Results

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, earnings were $0.86 per share compared to $0.53 per share in the first half of 2015.  The increase in earnings per share was primarily due to:

  • Gain on sale of our NJ1 data center facility of $23.1 million, or $0.26 per share, and

  • A 2015 charge of $0.07 per share for the severance expense and equity accelerations associated with the departure of our former CEO, partially offset by

  • Write-off of issuance costs associated with the redemption of preferred shares of $8.8 million, or $0.10 per share, and

  • Severance costs and equity accelerations for the NJ1 employees totaling $0.9 million, or $0.01 per share. 

Excluding these items, earnings increased $0.11 per share year over year, which was primarily due to new leases that commenced in 2015 and in the first half of 2016. Revenues increased 14%, or $31.5 million, to $252.7 million for the first half of 2016 over the first half of 2015.  The increase in revenues was primarily due to new leases commencing.

NAREIT FFO excludes the gain on sale of NJ1 and was $1.19 per share for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $1.16 per share for the first half of 2015.  The increase was primarily due to the severance expense and equity accelerations in 2015 associated with the departure of our former CEO and the items discussed below for Normalized FFO, partially offset by the write-off of issuance costs associated with the redemption of preferred shares and the severance costs and equity accelerations for the NJ1 employees.

Normalized FFO excludes the gain on sale of NJ1, the severance costs and equity accelerations of the NJ1 employees and our former CEO, and the write-off associated with our redeemed preferred shares. Normalized FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $1.31 per share compared to $1.23 per share for the first half of 2015. Normalized FFO increased $0.08 per share, or 7%, from the prior year period primarily due to the following:

  • Increased operating income excluding depreciation of $0.22 per share primarily due to new leases commencing, partially offset by

  • Increased interest expense of $0.07 per share primarily due to a higher level of outstanding debt related to development financing, and

  • Dilution of $0.07 per share from the issuance of common equity in the first quarter of 2016.

AFFO for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $1.28 per share compared to $1.35 per share in the first half of 2015.  AFFO decreased $0.07 per share, or 5% from the prior year.  The decrease was primarily due to the following:

  • A decrease in the add-back of straight-line revenues of $0.12 per share primarily resulting from 2015 collections from Net Data Centers that were not applied to revenue and higher straight-line revenues at ACC2 in 2015 versus 2016,

  • Increased capitalized leasing commissions of $0.02 per share due to higher levels of leasing and payments to brokers, and

  • Increased capital expenditures at our operating data center facilities of $0.02 per share primarily related to ACC2 enhancements, partially offset by

  • Increased Normalized FFO of $0.08 per share, and

  • Increased add-back of compensation paid with Company common shares of $0.01 per share.

Portfolio Update

During the second quarter 2016, we:

  • Executed four new leases totaling 12.52 MW and 72,657 CRSF:
    • Two leases were at ACC7 Phase III totaling 8.52 MW and 51,294 CRSF.  These leases commenced in the second quarter and resulted in ACC7 Phase III being 100% leased.  One of these leases was our first lease utilizing our "full service" structure, under which the customer's reimbursement for operating expenses is fixed with annual escalators, excluding increases to certain uncontrollable expenses.

    • Two pre-leases were at ACC7 Phase IV totaling 4.00 MW and 21,363 CRSF.  These pre-leases are expected to commence upon the opening of ACC7 Phase IV in the fourth quarter of 2016.  ACC7 Phase IV is now 49% pre-leased based on critical load.

  • Extended the terms of four leases totaling 2.72 MW and 21,526 CRSF, including the one remaining lease that was scheduled to expire in 2016:
    • As previously reported, we extended the term of one lease for 0.28 MW and 1,385 CRSF at NJ1 which was scheduled to expire in 2017.

    • We extended the term of one lease for 0.81 MW and 9,160 CRSF at VA3 which was scheduled to expire in 2017.  The lease term was extended by 2.8 years commencing March 1, 2017, and compared to the cash rental rate in effect when the extension was executed, cash base rent will increase 2.0% upon the expiration of the original lease terms. GAAP base rent decreased 1.5% immediately.

    • We extended the term of another lease at VA3 for 0.49 MW and 5,581 CRSF which was scheduled to expire in 2017.  The lease term was extended by 3.0 years commencing May 1, 2017, and compared to the cash rental rate in effect when the extension was executed, cash base rent will increase 3.0% upon the expiration of the original lease term. GAAP base rent increased 9.0% immediately.

    • We extended the term of one lease at ACC5 for 1.14 MW and 5,400 CRSF which was scheduled to expire in 2016.  The lease term was extended by 2.1 years commencing January 1, 2017, and compared to the cash rental rate in effect when the extension was executed, cash base rent will increase 1.0% upon the expiration of the original lease term. GAAP base rent increased 2.5% immediately.

Subsequent to the second quarter, we:

  • Executed one new lease totaling 1.22 MW and 8,944 CRSF.

  • Extended the terms of two leases at our Ashburn campus totaling 3.41 MW and 16,400 CRSF by 2.0 years.  These leases were scheduled to expire in 2017 and now expire in 2019.  Compared to the rates in effect when each of the extensions was executed, cash base rents will be an average of 3.0% higher upon the expiration of the original lease terms.  GAAP base rents will be an average of 1.2% higher immediately.

Year to date, we:

  • Executed 12 leases with a weighted average lease term of 12.7 years totaling 46.85 MW and 242,287 CRSF that are expected to generate approximately $59.3 million of annualized GAAP base rent revenue which is equivalent to a GAAP rate of $105 per kW per month.  Including estimated amounts of operating expense recoveries for the leases that are structured as triple-net leases, these leases are expected to generate approximately $74.9 million of annualized revenue before recovery of metered power, which results in a rate of $133 per kW per month.
  • Commenced 13 leases totaling 41.22 MW and 230,116 CRSF.

  • Extended the term of seven leases totaling 6.68 MW and 40,443 CRSF by a weighted average of 2.4 years.  Compared to the rates in effect when each of the extensions was executed, cash base rents will be an average of 3.0% higher upon the expiration of the original lease terms.  GAAP base rents will be an average of 3.4% higher immediately.  The average GAAP base rent rate related to these extensions was $123 per kW per month and including operating expense recoveries, this results in $149 per kW per month.

Development Update

Below is a summary of our four projects currently under development:

Data Center Phase Capacity (MW) Anticipated
Placed in Service Date
 Percentage Pre-Leased
 CRSF / Critical Load
ACC7 Phase IV 8.2 Q4 2016 41% / 49%
CH2 Phase IV 1.2 Q4 2016 
ACC9 Phase I 14.4 Q2 2017 
SC1 Phase III 16.0 Q3 2017 100% / 100%
  39.8    
     

Since our first quarter earnings release, we have accelerated the anticipated placed in service date of ACC9 Phase I to Q2 2017 from Q3 2017.

We have added a Phase IV to CH2 which will have additional critical load capacity of 1.2 MW which increases the total capacity of CH2 from 25.6 MW to 26.8 MW.  The anticipated placed in service date is the fourth quarter of 2016.

We completed the acquisition of 46.7 acres of land in Hillsboro, Oregon for $11.2 million in July 2016.

We entered into a contract to acquire 20.6 acres of land in the Greater Toronto Area for $12.9 million CAD ($10.0 million USD).  We expect to complete this acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2016.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

In May 2016, we completed an offering of 8,050,000 shares of 6.625% Series C cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock at a public offering price of $25.00 per share, for gross proceeds of $201.3 million.

In May and June 2016, we redeemed all $185.0 million of our Series A preferred stock and $66.3 million of our Series B preferred stock.

In July 2016, we redeemed the remaining $100.0 million of our Series B preferred stock. The issuance of our new Series C preferred stock combined with the redemption of our Series A and B preferred stock will yield annualized savings of $13.9 million in preferred dividends.

In July 2016, we entered into a credit agreement that includes an unsecured revolving credit facility with a total commitment of $750 million and an unsecured term loan facility with a total commitment and amount outstanding of $250 million.  This credit agreement replaced our unsecured term loan, and had the effect of extending the term of that loan from July 2019 to January 2022, and also replaced our revolving credit facility, and had the effect of extending the term of this facility from May 2018 to July 2020.  Under the new credit agreement, the underlying LIBOR-based interest rates on these instruments remain the same.  As of July 28, 2016, we have no borrowings under our revolving credit facility, leaving $750 million available for additional borrowings.

Dividend

Our second quarter 2016 dividend of $0.47 per share was paid on July 15, 2016 to shareholders of record as of July 1, 2016.  The anticipated 2016 annualized dividend of $1.88 per share represents an estimated AFFO payout ratio of 67% at the midpoint of our current 2016 guidance and a yield of approximately 4.1% based on our current stock price.

Third Quarter and Full Year 2016 Guidance

Our earnings per share guidance for 2016 is $1.63 to $1.69 per share and for the third quarter of 2016 is $0.36 to $0.38 per share.

We are increasing the midpoint of our 2016 Normalized FFO guidance range by $0.03 per share.  The new range is $2.76 to $2.82 per share compared to the prior range of $2.71 to $2.81 per share.  Key assumptions included in the current guidance range are:

  • The low end of the range assumes no new leasing, and the high end of the range assumes $0.03 per share from new leases.
  • Opening ACC7 Phase IV in the fourth quarter of 2016.

The midpoint of our revised 2016 Normalized FFO guidance range is $2.79 per share, which is $0.03 higher than the prior guidance midpoint of $2.76 per share.  The increase is due to:

  • Increased operating income excluding depreciation due to the leases executed in the second and third quarters of 2016 of $0.05 per share, and
  • Decreased preferred stock dividends of $0.03 per share from the redemption of the $185 million of Series A preferred stock and the $166 of million Series B preferred stock, partially offset by
  • Removal of NJ1 from DFT's operations resulting in a decline of $0.05 per share.

Our Normalized FFO guidance range is $0.72 to $0.74 per share for the third quarter of 2016.  The midpoint of this range is $0.09 higher than Normalized FFO per share in the second quarter of 2016.  This is due to the following assumptions:

  • Increased operating income excluding depreciation of $0.08 per share from new leases commencing, and
  • Decreased preferred stock dividends of $0.04 per share from the completion of the redemptions of the Series A and Series B preferred stock, partially offset by
  • Increased interest expense of $0.02 per share primarily due to lower capitalized interest from placing ACC7 Phase III in service in June and CH2 Phase III in service in July, and 
  • Removal of NJ1 from DFT's operations resulting in a decline of $0.01 per share.

Our revised 2016 AFFO guidance range is $2.77 to $2.83 per share as compared to prior guidance of $2.75 to $2.85 per share.  The midpoint of our revised 2016 AFFO guidance range is $2.80 per share, which is unchanged from our prior guidance midpoint.  This is due to:

  • Increased Normalized FFO of $0.03 per share, offset by
  • Decreased add-back of straight-line revenues of $0.02 per share primarily due to the sale of NJ1, and
  • An increase in capitalized leasing commissions of $0.01 per share due to our continued leasing success.

Our AFFO guidance range is $0.73 to $0.75 per share for the third quarter of 2016.  The midpoint of the range is $0.10 per share higher than second quarter 2016 AFFO per share.  This is due to:

  • Increased Normalized FFO of $0.09 per share, and
  • Decreased capitalized leasing commissions of $0.02 per share, partially offset by
  • Decreased add-back of straight-line revenues of $0.01 per share primarily due to the sale of NJ1.

The assumptions underlying Normalized FFO and AFFO guidance can be found on the last page of this earnings release.

(1)  Funds from operations, or FFO, is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure for REITs. We calculate 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, impairment charges on depreciable real estate assets 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. We also present 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.

We use 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 period over period, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating expenses. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of equity REITs, FFO may be used by investors as a basis to compare our 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 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 effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our 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 our FFO. Therefore, we believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our 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 meet our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions.

We present FFO with adjustments to arrive at Normalized FFO. Normalized FFO is FFO attributable to common shares and units excluding severance expense and equity accelerations, gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, gain or loss on derivative instruments and write-offs of original issuance costs for redeemed preferred shares.  We also present FFO with supplemental adjustments to arrive at Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”). AFFO is Normalized FFO excluding straight-line revenue, compensation paid with Company common shares, below market lease amortization and write-offs net of above market lease amortization and write-offs, non real estate depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred financing costs, improvements to real estate and capitalized leasing commissions. 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 our 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 our cash needs including our ability to pay dividends. In addition, AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements employed by other companies. We use AFFO in management reports to provide a measure of REIT operating performance that can be compared to other companies using AFFO.

(1) Net Operating Income ("NOI") represents total revenues less property operating costs, real estate taxes and insurance, and other expenses (each as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations) for the properties included in the analysis. Cash Net Operating Income ("Cash NOI") is NOI less straight-line revenues, net of reserve and amortization of lease contracts above and below market value for the properties included in the analysis.

We use NOI and Cash NOI as supplemental performance measures because, in excluding depreciation and amortization, impairment charges on depreciable real estate assets and gains and losses from property dispositions, each provides a performance measure that, when compared period over period, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating expenses. However, because NOI and Cash NOI exclude depreciation and amortization, impairment charges on depreciable real estate assets and gains and losses from property dispositions, and capture 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 effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of NOI and Cash NOI as a measure of our performance is limited.

Other REITs may not calculate NOI and Cash NOI in the same manner we do and, accordingly, our NOI and Cash NOI may not be comparable to the NOI and Cash NOI of other REITs. NOI and Cash NOI should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (as computed in accordance with GAAP).
