Double digit Revenue, EPS, Normalized FFO per share and AFFO per share growth
WASHINGTON, DC, - October 27, 2016 - DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. (NYSE: DFT) announces results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016. All per share results are reported on a fully diluted basis.
Highlights
As of October 27, 2016, our operating portfolio was 97% leased and commenced as measured by critical load (in megawatts, or "MW") and computer room square feet ("CRSF").
Quarterly Highlights:
Double digit growth rates versus prior year quarter:
Revenue - 16%
Earnings per share - 28%
Normalized Funds from Operations ("FFO") per share - 18%
Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") per share - 10%
Placed CH2 Phase III, totaling 11.3 MW and 71,000 CRSF, into service on July 1st 89% leased based on critical load. CH2 Phase III is now 100% leased.
Acquired 46.7 acres of land in Hillsboro, Oregon for $11.2 million. This land will be used for the OR1 and OR2 data centers, which have estimated capacity totaling 96.0 MW of critical load.
Acquired a shell building and associated land in the Greater Toronto Area for $41.6 million USD. This shell will be developed into the TOR1 data center, which has an estimated capacity of 46.0 MW of critical load.
Executed two new leases totaling 2.42 MW and 16,319 CRSF of space with a weighted average lease term of 12.2 years. One of these leases, which totals 1.22 MW and 8,944 CRSF, was disclosed in our second quarter 2016 earnings release.
Extended the term of two leases, totaling 3.41 MW and 16,400 CRSF, by 2.0 years. Both extensions were disclosed in our second quarter 2016 earnings release.
Redeemed the remaining shares outstanding of our Series B preferred stock.
Refinanced our $250 million unsecured term loan, extending the maturity to 2022, and increased our line of credit to $750 million while extending its maturity to 2020.

Christopher Eldredge, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "DFT made significant progress in our two new markets Portland and Toronto by purchasing development sites in Hillsboro, Oregon and the Greater Toronto Area. By starting development in the Toronto market with a shell building in place, we will be able to deliver TOR1 in the third quarter of 2017 significantly faster than if development was from the ground up. This timing will help serve the growing pipeline of prospective customers interested in the Toronto market."
Third Quarter 2016 Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, earnings were $0.37 per share compared to $0.29 per share in the third quarter of 2015. There were two charges related to refinancings in the quarter ended September 30, 2016:
Write-off of issuance costs associated with the redemption of preferred shares of $3.7 million, or $0.04 per share, and
Loss on early extinguishment of debt associated with the debt refinancing of $1.2 million, or $0.01 per share.
In the third quarter of 2015, there was a charge of $0.01 per share for severance and equity accelerations. Excluding these items, earnings increased $0.12 per share year over year, which was primarily due to new leases that commenced in the second half of 2015 and in the first nine months of 2016. Revenues increased 16%, or $19.0 million, to $134.3 million for the third quarter of 2016 over the third quarter of 2015. The increase in revenues was primarily due to new leases commencing.
NAREIT FFO includes the write-off of issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred shares in 2016, the loss on early extinguishment of debt in 2016 and the severance and equity accelerations in 2015. NAREIT FFO was $0.68 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 compared to $0.61 per share for the third quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily due to the items discussed below for Normalized FFO per share and the severance and equity accelerations that occurred in the third quarter of 2015, partially offset by the write-off of issuance costs associated with the redemption of preferred shares and the loss on early extinguishment of debt.
Normalized FFO excludes issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred shares in 2016, the loss on early extinguishment of debt in 2016 and the severance and equity accelerations in 2015. Normalized FFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was $0.73 per share compared to $0.62 per share for the third quarter of 2015. Normalized FFO increased $0.11 per share, or 18%, from the prior year quarter primarily due to the following:
Increased operating income excluding depreciation of $0.16 per share primarily due to new leases commencing and
Lower preferred stock dividends of $0.04 per share due to the lower amount of preferred shares outstanding and lower dividend rate, partially offset by
Increased interest expense of $0.01 per share primarily due to increased LIBOR rates and
Dilution of $0.08 per share from the issuance of common equity in the first quarter of 2016.
AFFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was $0.75 per share compared to $0.68 per share in the third quarter of 2015. AFFO increased $0.07 per share, or 10%, from the prior year quarter primarily due to the following:
Increased Normalized FFO of $0.11 per share and
Lower amortization of lease contracts above and below market value of $0.01 per share, partially offset by
A decrease in the add-back of straight-line revenues of $0.05 per share primarily resulting from 2015 collections from Net Data Centers that were not applied to revenue and higher straight-line revenues at ACC2 in 2015 versus 2016.

First Nine Months 2016 Results
For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, earnings were $1.23 per share compared to $0.82 per share in the first nine months of 2015. The increase in earnings per share was partially due to:
A 2016 gain on sale of our NJ1 data center of $0.26 per share,
A 2015 charge of $0.07 per share for the severance expense and equity accelerations associated with the departure of our former CEO, partially offset by
A 2016 write-off of issuance costs associated with the redemption of preferred shares of $0.15 per share,
A 2016 loss on early extinguishment of debt of $0.01 per share and
Severance costs and equity accelerations in 2016 for the NJ1 employees of $0.01 per share.
Excluding these items, earnings increased $0.25 per share year over year, which was primarily due to new leases that commenced in 2015 and in the first nine months of 2016. Revenues increased 15%, or $50.5 million, to $387.0 million for the first nine months of 2016 over the same period in 2015. The increase in revenues was primarily due to new leases commencing.
NAREIT FFO excludes the gain on sale of NJ1 and was $1.88 per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to $1.78 per share for the first nine months of 2015. The increase was primarily due to the severance expense and equity accelerations in 2015 associated with the departure of our former CEO and the items discussed below for Normalized FFO, partially offset by the write-off of issuance costs associated with the redemption of preferred shares, the loss on early extinguishment of debt and the severance costs and equity accelerations for the NJ1 employees.
Normalized FFO excludes the gain on sale of NJ1, the severance costs and equity accelerations of the NJ1 employees and our former CEO, the write-off associated with our redeemed preferred shares and the loss on early extinguishment of debt. Normalized FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $2.04 per share compared to $1.85 per share for the first nine months of 2015. Normalized FFO increased $0.19 per share, or 10%, from the prior year period primarily due to the following:
Increased operating income excluding depreciation of $0.38 per share primarily due to new leases commencing and
Lower preferred stock dividends of $0.04 per share due to the lower amount of preferred shares outstanding and lower dividend rate, partially offset by
Increased interest expense of $0.08 per share primarily due to a higher level of outstanding debt related to development financing and
Dilution of $0.15 per share from the issuance of common equity in the first quarter of 2016.
AFFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $2.03 per share compared to $2.03 per share in the first nine months of 2015. AFFO was the same in both years primarily due to the following:
Increased Normalized FFO of $0.19 per share and
Increased add-back of compensation paid with Company common shares of $0.01 per share offset by,
A decrease in the add-back of straight-line revenues of $0.16 per share primarily resulting from 2015 collections from Net Data Centers that were not applied to revenue and higher straight-line revenues at ACC2 in 2015 versus 2016,
Increased capitalized leasing commissions of $0.02 per share due to higher levels of leasing and payments to brokers and

Increased capital expenditures at our operating data center facilities of $0.02 per share primarily related to ACC2 enhancements.
Portfolio Update
During the third quarter 2016, we:
Executed two new leases totaling 2.42 MW and 16,319 CRSF:
One lease was at CH2 Phase III totaling 1.22 MW and 8,944 CRSF. This lease commenced in the third quarter and resulted in CH2 Phase III being 100% leased.
One pre-lease was at CH2 Phase IV totaling 1.20 MW and 7,375 CRSF. This pre-lease is expected to commence upon the opening of CH2 Phase IV in the fourth quarter of 2016. CH2 Phase IV is now 100% pre-leased based on both critical load and CRSF.
Extended the terms of two leases totaling 3.41 MW and 16,400 CRSF:
One extension was at ACC5 for 2.28 MW and 11,000 CRSF which was scheduled to expire in 2017. The lease term was extended by 2.0 years commencing July 1, 2017, and compared to the cash rental rate in effect when the extension was executed, cash base rent will increase 3.0% upon the expiration of the original lease term. GAAP base rent increased 1.2% immediately.
One extension was at ACC4 for 1.13 MW and 5,400 CRSF which was scheduled to expire in 2017. The lease term was extended by 2.0 years commencing July 1, 2017, and compared to the cash rental rate in effect when the extension was executed, cash base rent will increase 3.0% upon the expiration of the original lease term. GAAP base rent increased 1.5% immediately.
Year to date, we:
Executed 13 leases with a weighted average lease term of 12.7 years, totaling 48.05 MW and 249,662 CRSF, which are expected to generate approximately $60.2 million of annualized GAAP base rent revenue, which is equivalent to a GAAP rate of $105 per kW per month. These leases are expected to generate approximately $76.1 million of annualized revenue, which includes estimated amounts of operating expense recoveries for the leases structured as triple net leases, net of recovery of metered power, which results in a rate of $132 per kW per month.
Commenced 15 leases totaling 45.22 MW and 251,479 CRSF.
Extended the term of seven leases totaling 6.68 MW and 40,443 CRSF by a weighted average of 2.4 years. Compared to the rates in effect when each of the extensions was executed, cash base rents will be an average of 3.0% higher upon the expiration of the original lease terms. GAAP base rents will be an average of 3.4% higher immediately. The average GAAP base rent rate related to these extensions was $123 per kW per month and including operating expense recoveries, this results in $149 per kW per month.

In the third quarter, we acquired 46.7 acres of land in Hillsboro, Oregon for $11.2 million. The land has never been developed and is ideal for our OR1 and OR2 data center facilities. Also in the third quarter, we acquired a shell building and associated land in Vaughan, Ontario, a suburb of Toronto, for $41.6 million USD. This building is a former Toronto Star printing facility, and the shell is well-suited for development of our TOR1 data center.
We also entered into a contract to acquire an additional 20.6 acres of land in the Greater Toronto Area for $12.9 million CAD (approximately $10.0 million USD).
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
In July 2016, we redeemed the remaining $100.0 million of our Series B preferred stock. The issuance of our new Series C preferred stock, combined with the redemption of our Series A and B preferred stock, will yield annualized savings of $13.9 million in preferred dividends.
In July 2016, we entered into a credit agreement that includes an unsecured revolving credit facility with a total commitment of $750 million and an unsecured term loan facility with a total commitment and amount outstanding of $250 million. This credit agreement replaced our unsecured term loan, and had the effect of extending the maturity of that loan from July 2019 to January 2022. It also replaced our revolving credit facility, and had the effect of extending the maturity of this facility from May 2018 to July 2020. Under the new credit agreement, the underlying LIBOR-based interest rates remain the same as under the previous instruments. As of October 27, 2016, we have no borrowings under our revolving credit facility, leaving $750 million available for additional borrowings.
Dividend
Our third quarter 2016 dividend of $0.47 per share was paid on October 17, 2016 to shareholders of record as of October 7, 2016. The anticipated 2016 annualized dividend of $1.88 per share represents an estimated AFFO payout ratio of 67% at the midpoint of our current 2016 guidance and a yield of approximately 4.4% based on our current stock price.
Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2016 Guidance
Our GAAP earnings per share guidance for 2016 is $1.64 to $1.67 per share and for the fourth quarter of 2016 is $0.42 to $0.45 per share.
We are tightening our 2016 Normalized FFO guidance range. The new range is $2.77 to $2.80 per share compared to the prior range of $2.76 to $2.82 per share. The midpoint of our revised 2016 Normalized FFO guidance range is $2.79 per share, which is unchanged from our prior guidance midpoint.
Our Normalized FFO guidance range is $0.73 to $0.76 per share for the fourth quarter of 2016. The midpoint of this range is $0.02 higher than the third quarter 2016 Normalized FFO per share. This is due to the following assumptions:
Decreased interest expense of $0.01 per share due to higher capitalized interest and
Decreased preferred stock dividends of $0.01 per share due to completion of the redemption of the Series B shares in July 2016.
We are tightening our 2016 AFFO guidance range. The new range is $2.78 to $2.81 per share as compared to the prior range of $2.77 to $2.83 per share. The midpoint of our revised 2016 AFFO guidance range is $2.80 per share, which is unchanged from our prior guidance midpoint.
Our AFFO guidance range is $0.74 to $0.77 per share for the fourth quarter of 2016. The midpoint of the range is $0.01 per share higher than third quarter 2016 AFFO per share. This is due to the following assumptions:
Increased Normalized FFO of $0.02 per share and
Increased add-back of straight-line revenues of $0.01 per share, partially offset by

5



Increased capitalized leasing commissions of $0.01 per share due to a forecasted increase in fourth quarter leasing and
Increased capital expenditures for operating properties of $0.01 per share.
The assumptions underlying Normalized FFO and AFFO guidance can be found on the last page of this earnings release.

(1) Funds from operations, or FFO, is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure for REITs. We calculate 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. We also present 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.
We use 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. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of equity REITs, FFO may be used by investors as a basis to compare our 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 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 effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our 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 our FFO. Therefore, we believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our 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 our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to meet our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions.
We present FFO with adjustments to arrive at Normalized FFO. Normalized FFO is FFO attributable to common shares and units excluding severance expense and equity accelerations, gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, gain or loss on derivative instruments and write-offs of original issuance costs for redeemed preferred shares. We also present FFO with supplemental adjustments to arrive at Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”). AFFO is Normalized FFO excluding straight-line revenue, compensation paid with Company common shares, below market lease amortization and write-offs net of above market lease amortization and write-offs, non real estate depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred financing costs, improvements to real estate and capitalized leasing commissions. 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 our 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 our cash needs including our ability to pay dividends. In addition, AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements employed by other companies. We use AFFO in management reports to provide a measure of REIT operating performance that can be compared to other companies using AFFO.

Stabilized operating properties are either 85% or more leased and commenced or have been in service for 24 months or greater.
(2)
Gross building area is the entire building area, including CRSF (the portion of gross building area where our customers' computer servers are located), common areas, areas controlled by us (such as the mechanical, telecommunications and utility rooms) and, in some facilities, individual office and storage space leased on an as available basis to our customers.
(3)
Percentage leased is expressed as a percentage of CRSF or critical load, as applicable, that is subject to an executed lease. Leases executed as of October 1, 2016 represent $367 million of base rent on a GAAP basis and $374 million of base rent on a cash basis over the next twelve months. Both amounts include $18 million of revenue from management fees over the next twelve months.
(4)
Percentage commenced is expressed as a percentage of CRSF or critical load, as applicable, where the lease has commenced under GAAP.
(5)
Critical load (also referred to as IT load or load used by customers' servers or related equipment) is the power available for exclusive use by customers expressed in terms of megawatt, or MW, or kilowatt, or kW (One MW is equal to 1,000 kW).

(1) Net Operating Income ("NOI") represents total revenues less property operating costs, real estate taxes and insurance, and other expenses (each as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations) for the properties included in the analysis. Cash Net Operating Income ("Cash NOI") is NOI less straight-line revenues, net of reserve and amortization of lease contracts above and below market value for the properties included in the analysis.
We use NOI and Cash NOI as supplemental performance measures because, in excluding depreciation and amortization, impairment charges on depreciable real estate assets and gains and losses from property dispositions, each provides a performance measure that, when compared period over period, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating expenses. However, because NOI and Cash NOI exclude depreciation and amortization, impairment charges on depreciable real estate assets and gains and losses from property dispositions, 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 leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of NOI and Cash NOI as a measure 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 the NOI and Cash NOI of other REITs. NOI and Cash NOI should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (as computed in accordance with GAAP).
