DUPONT FABROS TECHNOLOGY, INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2012 RESULTS
Revenues up 16%
ACC6 Phase I 100% Leased


WASHINGTON, DC, -- October 24, 2012 - DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. (NYSE: DFT) today reported results for the quarter ended September 30, 2012. All per share results are reported on a fully diluted basis.
Highlights
As of today, the company's overall operating portfolio is 85% leased with the stabilized portfolio at 96% leased, and the three properties remaining in the non-stabilized portfolio at 55% leased. In the development portfolio, ACC6 Phase II is 67% pre-leased.
Third quarter 2012 activity:
Signed two leases totaling 3.47 megawatts (“MW”) and 18,116 raised square feet.
Commenced four leases totaling 5.85 MW and 30,369 raised square feet.
Extended the maturity of three leases totaling 9.91 MW and 68,687 raised square feet by a weighted average of 6.6 years. These leases were originally scheduled to expire from 2013 to 2017.
Subsequent to the third quarter:
Extended the maturity of one lease totaling 13.90 MW and 80,000 raised square feet by 8.2 years. This lease was originally scheduled to expire from 2016 to 2018.

Hossein Fateh, President and Chief Executive Officer, said “We continue to remain focused on leasing up our available inventory in all of our markets, with ACC6 Phase I in Ashburn, Virginia now 100% leased. In addition, we made significant progress on extending the lease maturity with three important tenants which includes the extension of the entire ACC3 lease through 2024 to 2026. As of today, leases that represent less than 15% of our annualized base rent are scheduled to expire prior to January 2017.”

Third Quarter 2012 Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the company reported earnings of $0.11 per share compared to $0.22 per share for the third quarter of 2011. The decrease of $0.11 in earnings per share is primarily due to lower capitalized interest and higher preferred dividends. Revenues increased 16%, or $11.6 million, to $85.4 million for the third quarter of 2012 over the third quarter of 2011. The increase in revenues is primarily due to new leases commencing at our non-stabilized properties partially offset by one lease that expired on April 30, 2012.


- 1-



Funds from Operations (“FFO”) for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 was $0.38 per share compared to $0.44 per share for the third quarter of 2011. The decrease of $0.06 per share is primarily due to:
Higher operating income, excluding depreciation, of $0.06 per share (primarily due to new leases commencing of $0.12 per share offset by unreimbursed property operating expenses, real estate taxes and insurance related to the properties that are not fully leased of $0.06 per share).
Higher fixed charges of $0.12 per share (lower capitalized interest expense of $0.10 per share and additional preferred dividends of $0.02 per share).

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012 Results
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the company reported earnings of $0.30 per share compared to $0.59 per share for the year ago period. The decrease of $0.29 in earnings per share is primarily due to lower capitalized interest and higher preferred dividends. Revenues increased 16%, or $33.4 million, to $246.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 over the year ago period. The increase in revenues is primarily due to new leases commencing at our non-stabilized properties partially offset by one lease that expired on April 30, 2012.

FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $1.10 per share compared to $1.24 per share for the year ago period. The decrease of $0.14 per share is primarily due to:
Higher operating income, excluding depreciation, of $0.17 per share (primarily due to new leases commencing of $0.29 per share offset by unreimbursed property operating expenses, real estate taxes and insurance of $0.12 per share).
Higher fixed charges of $0.31 per share (lower capitalized interest expense of $0.25 per share and additional preferred dividends of $0.06 per share).

(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, 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. 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.
