Equinix does not provide forward-looking guidance for certain
financial data, such as depreciation, amortization, accretion,
stock-based compensation, net income (loss) from operations, cash
generated from operating activities and cash used in investing
activities, and as a result, is not able to provide a
reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for
forward-looking data without unreasonable effort. The impact of
such adjustments could be significant.
Equinix Quote
Charles Meyers, President and
CEO, Equinix:
"We have continued to see significant momentum in our
business as digital transformation outpaces previous expectations
across all industries. Technology spend is accelerating, and we
believe Equinix remains uniquely positioned as traditional
technology markets continue to shift to as-a-service consumption
models and hybrid multicloud is widely adopted as the architecture
of choice. The pandemic has highlighted that digital infrastructure
is not just a business enabler, but a primary source of competitive
advantage for digital leaders across all industries, and we
continue to see a multitude of trends driving infrastructure to
become more distributed, more on demand, and more
ecosystem-connected than ever before."
Business Highlights
- Equinix continued the growth of its indirect selling
initiatives, with channel sales delivering a record quarter,
contributing more than 35% of the bookings for the quarter. Wins
were across a wide range of industry verticals and use cases with
continued strength from partners such as AWS, Cisco, Dell, Google,
HPE, IBM and Microsoft. Equinix also announced a new structure and
leadership team for its growing channel business.
- Equinix continued to strengthen its leadership position in the
cloud ecosystem through the company's hyperscale strategy,
expanding its footprint to service both retail and large footprint
hyperscale requirements in key markets, while leveraging its joint
venture relationship with GIC, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund. On
June 14th, Equinix announced
agreements with GIC to add $3.9
billion to expand the xScale™ data center
program. When closed and built out, these agreements will bring the
xScale portfolio to greater than $6.9
billion across 32 facilities globally and more than 600
megawatts (MW) of power capacity.
- Advances in the company's sustainability agenda in Q2 resulted
in meaningful progress across environmental, social and governance
(ESG) initiatives:
-
- On June 16th, Equinix became the
first in the data center industry to commit to reaching
climate-neutral status by 2030, backed by science-based targets and
an aggressive sustainability innovation agenda.
- On May 4th, Equinix announced the
pricing of $2.6 billion principal
amount of notes, including $1.0
billion of green bonds in its third green bond offering. To
date, Equinix has issued $3.7 billion
in green bonds to help advance the company's longstanding
commitment to sustainability leadership and reducing its
environmental impact, including projects aimed at green buildings,
renewable energy, energy and water efficiency, waste and clean
transportation.
- As part of its ongoing focus on diversity, inclusion and
belonging, and its commitment to well-being, Equinix recently
hosted its second annual WeConnect event, a 24-hour virtual
gathering that celebrates equality, diversity and connection. The
event offers employees an opportunity to listen, learn and engage
in courageous conversations as Equinix builds a culture and
community that can have a meaningful, sustainable impact on the
future of the world.
- Q2 also marked significant milestones and recognition for
Equinix:
-
- In June, Equinix was included in the Fortune 500 list of the
largest companies in the U.S., debuting at #461.
- In May, Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings both upgraded
all of Equinix's credit ratings to BBB, from the previous rating of
BBB-. The ratings upgrades from both agencies reflect Equinix's
growing portfolio of owned assets, increasing global scale
supported by its unique interconnection platform, a disciplined
financial policy utilizing broad access to capital, and resilience
through the COVID-19 pandemic.
- In June, for the second consecutive year, IDC recognized
Equinix as a leader in its MarketScape Report for
Worldwide Datacenter Colocation and Interconnection Services.
COVID-19 Update
Many of Equinix's International Business Exchange™
(IBX®) and xScale data centers have been identified
as "essential businesses" or "critical infrastructure" by local
governments for purposes of remaining open during the ongoing
COVID-19 pandemic, and all data centers remain operational at the
time of filing of this press release. Precautionary measures have
been implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic to minimize the risk
of operational impact and to protect the health and safety of
employees, customers, partners and communities.
Looking ahead, the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the
company's financial condition or results of operations remains
uncertain and will depend on a number of factors, including its
impact on Equinix customers, partners and vendors and the impact
on, and functioning of, the global financial markets. The company's
past results may not be indicative of future performance, and
historical trends may differ materially. Additional information
pertaining to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Equinix and
the company's response thereto will be provided in the upcoming
Form 10-Q to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
for the quarter ended June 30,
2021.
Business Outlook
For the third quarter of 2021, the Company expects revenues to
range between $1.668 and $1.688 billion, an increase of 1 - 2% compared to
the prior quarter on both an as-reported and on a normalized and
constant currency basis. This guidance includes a $6 million negative foreign currency impact when
compared to the average FX rates in Q2 2021. Adjusted EBITDA is
expected to range between $766 and
$786 million. Adjusted EBITDA
includes a $4 million negative
foreign currency impact when compared to the average FX rates in Q2
2021 and $7 million of integration
costs from acquisitions. Recurring capital expenditures are
expected to range between $50 and
$60 million.
For the full year of 2021, total revenues are expected to range
between $6.619 and $6.659 billion, a 10 - 11% increase over the
previous year, or a normalized and constant currency increase of
approximately 8%. This $50 million
increase from previously issued guidance is due to $25 million of better-than-expected operating
performance and a $25 million
positive foreign currency benefit when compared to the prior
guidance FX rates. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to range between
$3.108 and $3.148 billion, an adjusted EBITDA margin of 47%.
This $27 million increase from
previously issued guidance is due to $11
million of better-than-expected operating performance, a
$5 million reduction of integration
costs and an $11 million positive
foreign currency benefit when compared to the prior guidance FX
rates. AFFO is expected to range between $2.434 and $2.474
billion, an increase of 11 - 13% over the previous year, or
a normalized and constant currency increase of 10 - 12%. This
$15 million increase over the
previously issued guidance is due to $4
million of better-than-expected operating performance, a
$5 million reduction of integration
costs and a $6 million foreign
currency benefit when compared to the prior guidance FX rates. AFFO
per share is expected to range between $26.92 and $27.36,
an increase of 9 - 11% over the previous year, both as-reported and
on a normalized and constant currency basis. Total capital
expenditures are expected to range between $2.738 and $2.988
billion. Non-recurring capital expenditures, including
xScale-related costs, are expected to range between $2.550 and $2.790
billion, and recurring capital expenditures are expected to
range between $188 and $198 million. xScale-related on-balance sheet
capital expenditures are expected to range between $425 and $475
million, which we anticipate will be reimbursed from both
the current and future xScale JVs.
The U.S. dollar exchange rates used for 2021 guidance, taking
into consideration the impact of our current foreign currency
hedges, have been updated to $1.17 to
the Euro, $1.33 to the Pound,
S$1.35 to the U.S. dollar, ¥111 to
the U.S. dollar, and R$4.99 to the
U.S. dollar. The Q2 2021 global revenue breakdown by currency for
the Euro, British Pound, Singapore Dollar, Japanese Yen and
Brazilian Real is 20%, 10%, 7%, 7% and 3%, respectively.
The adjusted EBITDA guidance is based on the revenue guidance
less our expectations of cash cost of revenues and cash operating
expenses. The AFFO guidance is based on the adjusted EBITDA
guidance less our expectations of net interest expense, an
installation revenue adjustment, a straight-line rent expense
adjustment, a contract cost adjustment, amortization of deferred
financing costs and debt discounts and premiums, income tax
expense, an income tax expense adjustment, recurring capital
expenditures, other income (expense), (gains) losses on disposition
of real estate property, and adjustments for unconsolidated joint
ventures' and non-controlling interests' share of these items.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Equinix provides all information required in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), but it believes
that evaluating its ongoing operating results may be difficult if
limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly,
Equinix uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its
operations.
Equinix provides normalized and constant currency growth rates,
which are calculated to adjust for acquisitions, dispositions,
integration costs, changes in accounting principles and foreign
currency.
Equinix presents adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial
measure. Adjusted EBITDA represents income from operations
excluding depreciation, amortization, accretion, stock-based
compensation expense, restructuring charges, impairment charges,
transaction costs and gain or loss on asset sales.
In presenting non-GAAP financial measures, such as adjusted
EBITDA, cash cost of revenues, cash gross margins, cash operating
expenses (also known as cash selling, general and administrative
expenses or cash SG&A), adjusted EBITDA margins, free cash flow
and adjusted free cash flow, Equinix excludes certain items that it
believes are not good indicators of Equinix's current or future
operating performance. These items are depreciation, amortization,
accretion of asset retirement obligations and accrued restructuring
charges, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges,
impairment charges, transaction costs and gain or loss on asset
sales. Equinix excludes these items in order for its lenders,
investors and the industry analysts who review and report on
Equinix to better evaluate Equinix's operating performance and cash
spending levels relative to its industry sector and
competitors.
Equinix excludes depreciation expense as these charges primarily
relate to the initial construction costs of a data center, and do
not reflect its current or future cash spending levels to support
its business. Its data centers are long-lived assets, and have an
economic life greater than 10 years. The construction costs of a
data center do not recur with respect to such data center, although
Equinix may incur initial construction costs in future periods with
respect to additional data centers, and future capital expenditures
remain minor relative to the initial investment. This is a trend it
expects to continue. In addition, depreciation is also based on the
estimated useful lives of the data centers. These estimates could
vary from actual performance of the asset, are based on historic
costs incurred to build out our data centers and are not indicative
of current or expected future capital expenditures. Therefore,
Equinix excludes depreciation from its operating results when
evaluating its operations.
In addition, in presenting the non-GAAP financial measures,
Equinix also excludes amortization expense related to acquired
intangible assets. Amortization expense is significantly affected
by the timing and magnitude of acquisitions and these charges may
vary in amount from period to period. We exclude amortization
expense to facilitate a more meaningful evaluation of our current
operating performance and comparisons to our prior periods. Equinix
excludes accretion expense, both as it relates to its asset
retirement obligations as well as its accrued restructuring
charges, as these expenses represent costs which Equinix also
believes are not meaningful in evaluating Equinix's current
operations. Equinix excludes stock-based compensation expense, as
it can vary significantly from period to period based on share
price and the timing, size and nature of equity awards. As such,
Equinix and many investors and analysts exclude stock-based
compensation expense to compare its operating results with those of
other companies. Equinix excludes restructuring charges from its
non-GAAP financial measures. The restructuring charges relate to
Equinix's decision to exit leases for excess space adjacent to
several of its IBX data centers, which it did not intend to build
out, or its decision to reverse such restructuring charges. Equinix
also excludes impairment charges generally related to certain
long-lived assets. The impairment charges are related to expense
recognized whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of assets are not recoverable. Equinix
also excludes gain or loss on asset sales as it represents profit
or loss that is not meaningful in evaluating the current or future
operating performance. Finally, Equinix excludes transaction costs
from its non-GAAP financial measures to allow more comparable
comparisons of the financial results to the historical operations.
The transaction costs relate to costs Equinix incurs in connection
with business combinations and formation of joint ventures,
including advisory, legal, accounting, valuation and other
professional or consulting fees. Such charges generally are not
relevant to assessing the long-term performance of Equinix. In
addition, the frequency and amount of such charges vary
significantly based on the size and timing of the transactions.
Management believes items such as restructuring charges, impairment
charges, transaction costs and gain or loss on asset sales are
non-core transactions; however, these types of costs may occur in
future periods.
Equinix also presents funds from operations ("FFO") and adjusted
funds from operations ("AFFO"), both commonly used in the REIT
industry, as supplemental performance measures. Additionally,
Equinix presents AFFO per share, which is also commonly used in the
REIT industry. AFFO per share offers investors and industry
analysts a perspective of Equinix's underlying operating
performance when compared to other REIT companies. FFO is
calculated in accordance with the definition established by the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT").
FFO represents net income or loss, excluding gain or loss from the
disposition of real estate assets, depreciation and amortization on
real estate assets and adjustments for unconsolidated joint
ventures' and non-controlling interests' share of these items. AFFO
represents FFO, excluding depreciation and amortization expense on
non-real estate assets, accretion, stock-based compensation,
restructuring charges, impairment charges, transaction costs, an
installation revenue adjustment, a straight-line rent expense
adjustment, a contract cost adjustment, amortization of deferred
financing costs and debt discounts and premiums, gain or loss on
debt extinguishment, an income tax expense adjustment, recurring
capital expenditures, net income or loss from discontinued
operations, net of tax and adjustments from FFO to AFFO for
unconsolidated joint ventures' and non-controlling interests' share
of these items. Equinix excludes depreciation expense, amortization
expense, accretion, stock-based compensation, restructuring
charges, impairment charges and transaction costs for the same
reasons that they are excluded from the other non-GAAP financial
measures mentioned above.
Equinix includes an adjustment for revenues from installation
fees, since installation fees are deferred and recognized ratably
over the period of contract term, although the fees are generally
paid in a lump sum upon installation. Equinix includes an
adjustment for straight-line rent expense on its operating leases,
since the total minimum lease payments are recognized ratably over
the lease term, although the lease payments generally increase over
the lease term. Equinix also includes an adjustment to contract
costs incurred to obtain contracts, since contract costs are
capitalized and amortized over the estimated period of benefit on a
straight-line basis, although costs of obtaining contracts are
generally incurred and paid during the period of obtaining the
contracts. The adjustments for installation revenues, straight-line
rent expense and contract costs are intended to isolate the cash
activity included within the straight-lined or amortized results in
the consolidated statement of operations. Equinix excludes the
amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts and
premiums as these expenses relate to the initial costs incurred in
connection with its debt financings that have no current or future
cash obligations. Equinix excludes gain or loss on debt
extinguishment since it represents a cost that is not a good
indicator of Equinix's current or future operating performance.
Equinix includes an income tax expense adjustment, which represents
the non-cash tax impact due to changes in valuation allowances and
uncertain tax positions that do not relate to the current period's
operations. Equinix excludes recurring capital expenditures, which
represent expenditures to extend the useful life of its IBX and
xScale data centers or other assets that are required to support
current revenues. Equinix also excludes net income or loss from
discontinued operations, net of tax, which represents results that
are not a good indicator of our current or future operating
performance.
Equinix presents constant currency results of operations, which
is a non-GAAP financial measure and is not meant to be considered
in isolation or as an alternative to GAAP results of operations.
However, Equinix has presented this non-GAAP financial measure to
provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate its operating
results without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons
of Equinix's business performance. To present this information,
Equinix's current and comparative prior period revenues and certain
operating expenses from entities with functional currencies other
than the U.S. dollar are converted into U.S. dollars at a
consistent exchange rate for purposes of each result being
compared.
Non-GAAP financial measures are not a substitute for financial
information prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial
measures should not be considered in isolation, but should be
considered together with the most directly comparable GAAP
financial measures and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial
measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Equinix presents such non-GAAP financial measures to provide
investors with an additional tool to evaluate its operating results
in a manner that focuses on what management believes to be its
core, ongoing business operations. Management believes that
the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures provides
consistency and comparability with past reports and provides a
better understanding of the overall performance of the business and
its ability to perform in subsequent periods. Equinix believes that
if it did not provide such non-GAAP financial information,
investors would not have all the necessary data to analyze Equinix
effectively.
Investors should note that the non-GAAP financial measures used
by Equinix may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may
not be calculated in the same manner, as those of other companies.
Investors should, therefore, exercise caution when comparing
non-GAAP financial measures used by us to similarly titled non-GAAP
financial measures of other companies. Equinix does not provide
forward-looking guidance for certain financial data, such as
depreciation, amortization, accretion, stock-based compensation,
net income or loss from operations, cash generated from operating
activities and cash used in investing activities, and as a result,
is not able to provide a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP
financial measures for forward-looking data without unreasonable
effort. The impact of such adjustments could be significant.
Equinix intends to calculate the various non-GAAP financial
measures in future periods consistent with how they were calculated
for the periods presented within this press release.
