DIGITAL REALTY TRUST, INC. REPORTS THIRD QUARTER FFO OF $1.13 PER SHARE, UP 11.9% FROM THIRD QUARTER 2011

U.S. demand drives third quarter lease signings

San Francisco, Calif. (October 26, 2012) – Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: DLR), a leading global provider of data center solutions, today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2012. All per share results are on a diluted share and unit basis.

Recent Highlights:

Funds from operations (“FFO”) was $154.7 million in the third quarter of 2012, or $1.13 per share, up 11.9% from $1.01 per share in the third quarter of 2011, and up 3.7% from $1.09 per share in the previous quarter.

“Third quarter 2012 core FFO was the same as reported FFO at $1.13 per share, due to offsetting items that do not represent ongoing expenses or revenue streams in the quarter,” said A. William Stein, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Investment Officer of Digital Realty. “These items included lease termination fees offset by transaction and other expenses.”

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP performance measure used by the real estate industry to measure the operating performance of real estate investment trusts. FFO and core FFO should not be considered as substitutes for net income determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP as measures of financial performance. A reconciliation from U.S. GAAP net income available to common stockholders to FFO, a definition of FFO, a reconciliation from FFO to core FFO, and a definition of core FFO are included as an attachment to this press release.

Net income for the third quarter of 2012 was $56.9 million, compared to $37.7 million for the third quarter of 2011 and $54.0 million for the second quarter of 2012. Net income available to common stockholders in the third quarter of 2012 was $45.6 million, or $0.37 per share, compared to $31.9 million, or $0.31 per share, in the third quarter of 2011 and $42.0 million, or $0.38 per share, in the second quarter of 2012.

The Company reported total operating revenues of $342.5 million in the third quarter of 2012, up 25.2% from $273.5 million in the third quarter of 2011 and up 12.8% from $303.7 million in the second quarter of 2012.

“We are very pleased with our third quarter performance and believe that it once again demonstrates the resilience of our business model, particularly during challenging economic conditions,” said Michael F. Foust, Chief Executive Officer of Digital Realty. “Our global footprint and customer relationships, strong balance sheet and access to attractively priced capital combined with our acquisition and development expertise, have continued to generate earnings growth for our shareholders.”

Acquisitions and Leasing Activity

The Company closed on the acquisition of a three-property portfolio totaling approximately 733,000 square feet located in the greater London area, referred to as the Sentrum Portfolio, on July 11, 2012. The purchase price was £715.9 million, not including a debt extinguishment cost of £18.7 million (equivalent to $1.1 billion, not including a debt extinguishment cost of $29.0 million, based on the July 11, 2012 exchange rate of £1.00 to $1.55) (subject to adjustment in limited circumstances and to earn-out payments). The acquisition was funded with proceeds from a follow-on common stock offering which closed on July 2, 2012 and borrowings under the global revolving credit facility.

The Company also acquired 11900 East Cornell Road, a 286,000 square foot data center and office complex located in Aurora, Colorado. The property consists of three interconnected buildings and includes approximately 170,000 square feet of data center space. The purchase price was approximately $90.8 million.

The Company signed leases during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 totaling over $27.0 million of annualized GAAP rental revenue, including $1.3 million of colocation revenue. Leases signed totaled approximately 244,000 square feet, including approximately 134,000 square feet of Turn-Key Flex^SM data center space leased at an average annual GAAP rental rate of $147.00 per square foot, approximately 87,000 square feet of Custom Solutions (formerly referred to as Build-to-Suit) space leased at an average annual GAAP rental rate of $65.00 per square foot, and 23,000 square feet of non-technical space leased at an average annual GAAP rental rate of $20.00 per square foot.

“In Houston, we experienced record activity with new lease signings totaling over 30,000 square feet of Turn-Key Flex space and nearly 87,000 square feet of Custom Solutions space. Although the Custom Solutions lease rates are lower than the Turn-Key Flex rates due to the mix of type of space and the build-to-suit nature of the facilities, we are achieving solid returns due to our low cost basis in the project,” added Mr. Foust. “On a volume basis, we leased over 16.4 megawatts of IT capacity during the quarter, up over 31% from the same four quarters’ average of 12.5 megawatts, which we believe reflects continued demand for our data center solutions. Other markets where we experienced good activity during the quarter included Chicago, Northern Virginia, Silicon Valley, Phoenix and London.”

Of the total leases signed during the third quarter of 2012, over 233,000 square feet was for space located in the Company’s U.S. portfolio. This includes approximately 124,000 square feet of Turn-Key Flex space leased at an average annual GAAP rental rate of $142.00 per square foot, approximately 87,000 square feet of Custom Solutions space leased at an average annual GAAP rental rate of $65.00 per square foot and approximately 22,000 square feet of non-technical space leased at an average annual GAAP rental rate of $20.00 per square foot.

2012 Revised Outlook

“With a better view towards year-end results, we are narrowing our FFO per share guidance range and updating the underlying assumptions,” said Mr. Stein. “As we did last year, we plan to provide 2013 guidance in January 2013.”

FFO per share for the year ending December 31, 2012 is projected to be between $4.40 and $4.44. This guidance represents expected FFO growth of 8.4% to 9.4% over 2011 FFO of $4.06 per share. The Company expects projected FFO and core FFO to be the same for the year. A reconciliation of the range of 2012 projected net income to projected FFO and core FFO follows:

Note Regarding Funds From Operations

Digital Realty calculates 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) available to common stockholders and unitholders (computed in accordance with U.S. 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, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. Digital Realty also believes 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 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 as a measure of our performance.

Core Funds from Operations

We present core funds from operations, or CFFO, as a supplemental operating measure because, in excluding certain items that do not reflect ongoing 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 CFFO by adding to or subtracting from FFO (i) termination fees and other non-core revenues, (ii) significant transaction expenses, (iii) loss from early extinguishment of debt, (iv) costs on redemption of preferred stock, (v) significant property tax adjustments, net and (vi) 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 CFFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may not calculate CFFO in a consistent manner. Accordingly, our CFFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ CFFO. CFFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.
