Investment Activity
During the second quarter of 2015, Digital Realty closed the previously announced sale of 833 Chestnut Street, a 705,000 square foot mixed-use building in downtown Philadelphia, for $161 million, or $228 per square foot. The property was expected to generate cash net operating income of approximately $9.3 million in 2015, representing a cap rate of 5.8%. The sale is expected to generate net proceeds of $150 million, and Digital Realty recognized a gain on the sale of approximately $77 million in the second quarter of 2015.
In April 2015, the company acquired a 4.1-acre site adjacent to its existing Digital Deer Park campus in Melbourne, Australia, for a purchase price of $2 million. This site is capable of supporting an 86,000 square foot Turn-Key Flex data center building. The timing and commencement of any future development will be subject to market conditions.
In June 2015, the company acquired a 144,000 square foot warehouse for redevelopment in Singapore for a purchase price of $45 million. Upon completion, the project is expected to support 10 to 15 megawatts of IT load. Digital Realty expects to deliver the first three Turn-Key Flex data center suites by early 2016.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Digital Realty announced a definitive agreement to acquire Telx from private equity firms ABRY Partners and Berkshire Partners in a transaction valued at $1.886 billion. The combination is expected to double Digital Realty's footprint in the rapidly growing colocation business and provide the company's customers access to a leading interconnection platform. Digital Realty expects to fund the acquisition with proceeds from the recent forward equity offering and a mix, subject to market conditions and other factors, of preferred equity and debt. The acquisition is expected to close later this year and is subject to customary closing conditions.
Balance Sheet
Digital Realty had approximately $5.0 billion of total debt outstanding as of June 30, 2015, comprised of $4.6 billion of unsecured debt and approximately $0.4 billion of secured debt. At the end of the second quarter of 2015, net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA was 5.0x, debt-plus-preferred-to-total-enterprise-value was 39.6% and fixed charge coverage was 3.5x.
Subsequent to quarter-end, Digital Realty executed an offering of 10,500,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $68.00 per share subject to forward sale agreements. The company expects to receive net proceeds of approximately $686 million (net of fees and estimated expenses) upon full physical settlement of the forward sale agreements, which is anticipated to be no later than March 17, 2016. Digital Realty intends to use the net proceeds received upon settlement to fund a portion of the Telx acquisition.
2015 Outlook
Digital Realty revised its 2015 core FFO per share outlook to $5.05 - $5.15 from the prior range of $5.03 - $5.13. The assumptions underlying the revised outlook, which reflects standalone results for Digital Realty only and does not include any financial impact from the pending acquisition of Telx, are summarized in the following table.

For all periods presented, we have excluded the effect of dilutive series E, series F, series G and series H preferred stock, as applicable, that may be converted upon the occurrence of specified change in control transactions as described in the articles supplementary governing the series E, series F, series G and series H preferred stock, as applicable, which we consider highly improbable. In addition, the 5.50% exchangeable senior debentures due 2029 were exchangeable for 0, 0 and 1,122 common shares on a weighted average basis for the three months ended June 30, 2015, March 31, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively, and 0 and 3,948 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively. See above for calculation of weighted average common stock and units outstanding.

Includes lease termination fees and certain other adjustments that are not core to our business.

|
(4)
|
Relates to earn-out contingencies in connection with the Sentrum and Singapore (29A international Business Park) acquisitions. The earn-out contingencies expire in July 2015 and November 2020, respectively, and are reassessed on a quarterly basis. During the first quarter of 2015, we reduced the fair value of the earnout related to Sentrum by approximately $44.8 million. The adjustment was the result of an evaluation by management that no additional leases would be executed for vacant space by the contingency expiration date.
|
|
|
|
(5)
|
Relates to severance and other charges related to the departure of company executives.
|
|
|
|
(6)
|
Includes reversal of accruals and certain other adjustments that are not core to our business. Construction management expenses are included in Other expenses on the income statement but are not added back to core FFO.

For definition and discussion of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, see below
|
Definitions
Funds from Operations (FFO):
We calculate funds from operations, or FFO, in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, impairment charges, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, 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, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs' FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.
Core Funds from Operations:
We present core funds from operations, or core FFO, as a supplemental operating measure because, in excluding certain items that do not reflect core revenue or expense streams, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in our core business operating performance. We calculate core FFO by adding to or subtracting from FFO (i) termination fees and other non-core revenues, (ii) gain on sale of investment, (iii) significant transaction expenses, (iv) loss from early extinguishment of debt, (v) change in fair value of contingent consideration, (vi) equity in earnings adjustment for non-core items, (vii) severance accrual, equity acceleration, and legal expenses and (viii) other non-core expense adjustments. Because certain of these adjustments have a real economic impact on our financial condition and results from operations, the utility of core FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may not calculate core FFO in a consistent manner. Accordingly, our core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs' core FFO. Core FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.
Constant Currency Core Funds from Operations:
We calculate constant-currency core funds from operations by adjusting the core funds from operations for foreign currency translations.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:
We believe that earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and impairment of investments in real estate, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below), are useful supplemental performance measures because they allow investors to view our performance without the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization or the cost of debt and, with respect to Adjusted EBITDA, change in fair value of contingent consideration, severance related accrual, equity acceleration, and legal expenses, gain on sale of property, gain on contribution of properties to unconsolidated joint ventures, gain on sale of equity investment, noncontrolling interests, and preferred stock dividends. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA excluding change in fair value of contingent consideration, severance related accrual, equity acceleration, and legal expenses, gain on sale of property, gain on contribution of properties to unconsolidated joint ventures, gain on sale of investment, noncontrolling interests, and preferred stock dividends. In addition, we believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated before recurring cash charges including interest expense and income taxes, exclude capitalized costs, such as leasing commissions, and are not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of our business, their utility as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do; accordingly, our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to such other REITs' EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered only as supplements to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our financial performance.
Net Operating Income (NOI) and Cash NOI:
Net operating income, or NOI, represents rental revenue and tenant reimbursement revenue less rental property operating and maintenance expenses, property taxes and insurance expenses (as reflected in the statement of operations). NOI is commonly used by stockholders, company management and industry analysts as a measurement of operating performance of the company's rental portfolio. Cash NOI is NOI less straight-line rents and above and below market rent amortization. Cash NOI is commonly used by stockholders, company management and industry analysts as a measure of property operating performance on a cash basis. However, because NOI and cash NOI exclude depreciation and amortization 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 capitalized leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of NOI and cash NOI as measures 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 such other REITs' NOI and cash NOI. Accordingly, NOI and cash NOI should be considered only as supplements to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as measures of our performance.
