Second Quarter 2011 Results

For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the company reported earnings of $0.20 per share compared to $0.13 per share for the second quarter of 2010. Revenues increased 19%, or $11.5 million, to $70.8 million for the second quarter of 2011 over the second quarter of 2010. This increase is primarily due to leases commencing at CH1 Phase I, ACC5 Phase II and NJ1 Phase I.

• Higher operating income, excluding depreciation, of $0.08 per share due to leases commencing at CH1 Phase I, ACC5 Phase II and NJ1 Phase I, and
• Lower fixed charges of $0.01 per share representing lower interest expense of $0.08 per share due to a term loan payoff in October 2010 and higher interest capitalization in the second quarter of 2011, partially offset by preferred dividends of $0.07 per share.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Results

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the company reported earnings of $0.37 per share compared to $0.22 per share for the year ago period. Revenues increased 20%, or $23.1 million, to $139.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 over the year ago period.

FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.80 per share compared to $0.63 per share for the year ago period. The increase of 27% or $0.17 per share is due to:

• Higher operating income, excluding depreciation, of $0.13 per share due to leases commencing at CH1 Phase I, ACC5 Phase II and NJ1 Phase I, and
• Lower fixed charges of $0.04 per share representing lower interest expense of $0.16 per share due to a term loan payoff in October 2010 and higher interest capitalization in the first half of 2011, partially offset by preferred dividends of $0.12 per share.

During the second quarter of 2011, the company:

• Signed three leases totaling 3.25 MW and 16,023 raised square feet with an average lease term of 7.2 years.

Subsequent to the second quarter, the company signed one lease at NJ1 totaling 0.57 MW of critical load, with commencement expected in the third quarter of 2011. Also, the company renewed one lease for an additional eight years, representing 9.6 MW of critical load and 90,000 raised square feet. This lease is now scheduled to expire in 1.6 MW increments in 2020 through 2025.

Year to date, the company:

• Signed nine leases totaling 17.47 MW of critical load and 93,755 raised square feet with an average lease term of 7.6 years and approximate contract value of $290 million.
• Commenced five leases totaling 7.83 MW of critical load and 38,183 raised square feet.

SC1 Phase I in Santa Clara, California, ACC6 Phase I in Ashburn, Virginia and CH1 Phase II in Elk Grove Village, Illinois were in development in the second quarter of 2011. As of the date of this earnings release, the company has substantially completed SC1 Phase I and ACC6 Phase I and expects to place these developments into service by the end of the third quarter of 2011. CH1 Phase II remains in development, on schedule, on budget and is fully funded. The company expects to complete this project in the first quarter of 2012.

The company purchased an undeveloped parcel of land totaling 23 acres adjacent to the ACC data center campus in Ashburn, Virginia for $9.6 million in the second quarter of 2011. This parcel of land will allow for the construction of the company's prototype data center of 36.4 MW of critical load at some future date.

Capital Markets Update

In July 2011, the company amended its ACC5 term loan and eliminated the LIBOR floor of 1.50% and lowered the LIBOR spread from 4.25% to 3.00%. Also, the company agreed not to prepay the loan during a new lock-out period through July 31, 2012. The loan remains due in December 2014 with no extension option.

As of today, there are no borrowings under the line of credit facility.

2011 Guidance

The company has established an FFO guidance range of $0.42 to $0.44 per share for the third quarter of 2011. The company is tightening its FFO guidance range for the full year 2011 to $1.57 to $1.63 per share from $1.50 to $1.70 per share.

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

(1)	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 period over period, 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 may 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 the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to meet 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)	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 period over period, 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 may 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 the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to meet the Company's cash needs, including its ability to pay dividends or make distributions.
