Exhibit 99.3

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements of Equinix, Inc. (“Equinix” or the “Company”) are presented to illustrate the estimated effects of (i) the pending acquisition of the colocation services business (the “Selected Sites of Verizon’s Colocation and Data Center Interconnect Operations” or the “Selected Verizon Data Center Business”) at 24 data center sites, consisting of 29 data center buildings, from Verizon Communications Inc. (the “Acquisition”) for a cash purchase price of $3.6 billion; (ii) the issuance of one or more series of unsecured senior notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1.125 billion, (iii) the issuance of $1.750 billion of the Company’s common stock in a public offering, (iv) the borrowing of the €1.0 billion Term B-2 Loan on January 6, 2017 (clauses (ii), (iii), and (iv) referred to as the “Financings”), and (v) the acquisition of Telecity Group Limited, formerly Telecity Group plc, (“TelecityGroup”) that was completed on January 15, 2016 (the “TelecityGroup Acquisition”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 combines the historical consolidated statement of operations of the Company and the statement of net revenues and direct expenses of the Selected Sites of Verizon’s Colocation and Data Center Interconnect Operations, giving effect to the Acquisition, the Financings and the TelecityGroup Acquisition as if they had been completed on January 1, 2016. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of Equinix and the statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the Selected Sites of Verizon’s Colocation and Data Center Interconnect Operations, giving effect to the Acquisition and the Financings as if they had occurred on December 31, 2016. The pro forma financial information is based in part on certain assumptions regarding the foregoing transactions that we believe are factually supportable and are expected to have a continuing impact on our consolidated results. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, certain statement of operations and certain balance sheet reclassifications and adjustments have been made to the historical abbreviated financial statements of the Selected Sites of Verizon’s Colocation and Data Center Interconnect Operations in order to conform to the Company’s statements of operations and balance sheet presentation. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was based on, and should be read in conjunction with, the following historical financial statements and accompanying notes:

 

    Equinix’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on December 6, 2016 including exhibits thereto, which describes the proposed acquisition of the Selected Verizon Data Center Business, which is incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A;

 

    Audited consolidated financial statements of Equinix as of and for the year ended December 31, 2016, which are included in Equinix’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed on February 27, 2017, which is incorporated by reference in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A;

 

    The section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Equinix’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed on February 27, 2017, which is incorporated by reference in this this Current Report on Form 8-K/A;

 

    Audited statements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the Selected Sites of Verizon’s Colocation and Data Center Interconnect Operations as of December 31, 2016 and 2015 and the related statements of net revenues and direct expenses for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2016, which are attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A; and

 

    Audited consolidated balance sheets of Telecity Group Limited (formerly Telecity Group plc) as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 and the related consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flow for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015, which are attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared by Equinix, as the acquirer, using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The acquisition method of accounting is dependent upon certain valuation and other studies that have yet to progress to a stage where there is sufficient information for a definitive measurement. Before the Acquisition is completed, there are limitations regarding what Equinix can learn about the Selected Verizon Data Center Business. The assets and liabilities of the Selected Verizon Data Center Business have been measured based on various preliminary estimates using assumptions that Equinix believes are reasonable based on information that is currently available to Equinix. The preliminary purchase price allocation for the Selected Verizon Data Center Business is subject to revision as a more detailed analysis is completed and additional information on the fair value of the Selected Verizon Data Center Business’ assets and liabilities becomes available. The final allocation of the purchase price, which will be based upon actual tangible and intangible assets acquired as well as liabilities assumed, will be determined after the completion of the Acquisition, and could differ materially from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements presented here. Any change in the fair value of the net assets of the Selected Verizon Data Center Business will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. Additionally, changes in the Selected Verizon Data Center Business’ working capital, including the results of operations from December 31, 2016 through the date the Acquisition is completed, will change the amount of goodwill recorded. The pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements make certain assumptions regarding the amount and terms, including assumed pricing of common stock and interest rates for debt, of the Financings to be put into place in connection with the Acquisition, other than the borrowing of the Term B-2 Loan. The actual amounts and terms of such Financings may differ from that reflected herein.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for information purposes only. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to represent the actual results of operations that Equinix and the Selected Verizon Data Center Business would have achieved had the Acquisition, the Financings and the TelecityGroup Acquisition occurred on the dates indicated above, and is not intended to project the future results of operations that the combined company may achieve after the Acquisition. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations does not reflect any potential cost savings that may be realized as a result of the Acquisition and also does not reflect any restructuring, acquisition or integration-related costs. No historical transactions between Equinix and the Selected Verizon Data Center Business during the periods presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been identified at this time.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. Description of the transaction and basis of pro forma presentation

On December 6, 2016, the Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to purchase the colocation service business of Verizon Communications Inc. (“Verizon”) at 24 data center sites (the “Selected Sites of Verizon’s Colocation and Data Center Interconnect Operations” or the “Selected Verizon Data Center Business”) for $3.6 billion, subject to certain adjustments, in an all cash transaction. The Selected Verizon Data Center Business includes real property interests in 29 data center buildings across 15 metro areas located in the United States, Brazil and Colombia. The Company anticipates completing the acquisition of the Selected Verizon Data Center Business (the “Acquisition”) by mid-2017, subject to the satisfaction of closing conditions.

The colocation service business at the selected data centers to be acquired currently includes services provided to Verizon under arrangements that will be terminated at the closing of the Acquisition. The Company and Verizon have agreed to enter into agreements at the closing of the Acquisition pursuant to which the Company will provide space and services to Verizon at the acquired data centers. As the terms and conditions of these arrangements are subject to further negotiation, finalization and approval, financial results from these arrangements are not included in the abbreviated financial statements of the Selected Sites of Verizon’s Colocation and Data Center Interconnect Operations and are not reflected in these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. Also, for the preparation of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial conditions, the Company excluded these potential arrangements from the preliminary fair valuation of the intangible assets, and the excess of the purchase price of $3.6 billion over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired is allocated to goodwill. As these arrangements are finalized and more information becomes available at the closing of the Acquisition, the fair value of the intangible assets and the amount allocated to goodwill, as well as the financial results, will be materially different from the pro forma adjustments presented here.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 was prepared by combining the historical consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2016 for Equinix and the statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the Selected Sites of Verizon’s Colocation and Data Center Interconnect Operations as of December 31, 2016, as adjusted, to comply with the Company’s accounting policies, as if the Acquisition and the Financings (see Note 5) had been consummated on that date. In addition to the adjustments, certain balance sheet reclassifications have also been reflected in order to conform the Selected Sites of Verizon’s Colocation and Data Center Interconnect Operations’ statement of assets acquired and liabilities assumed to the Company’s balance sheet presentation. Refer to Note 2 for a discussion of these adjustments.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016 combines the results of operations of Equinix and the statement of net revenues and direct expenses of the Selected Sites of Verizon’s Colocation and Data Center Interconnect Operations as if the Acquisition, the Financings (see Note 5), and the TelecityGroup Acquisition had been consummated on January 1, 2016. Certain statement of operations reclassifications have also been reflected in order to conform to the Company’s statement of operations presentation. Refer to Note 3 for a discussion of these accounting policy and reclassification adjustments.

The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give effect to pro forma events that are (i) directly attributable to the Acquisition, the Financings and the TelecityGroup Acquisition that was completed on January 15, 2016, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results.

The acquisition method of accounting, based on Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 805, “Business Combinations,” uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASC 820”). Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as the “price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” This is an exit price concept for the valuation of an asset or liability. Market participants are assumed to be buyers or sellers in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Fair value measurement for an asset assumes the highest and best use by these market participants, and as a result, assets may be required to be recorded which are not intended to be used or sold and/or to value assets at a fair value measurement that do not reflect management’s intended use for those assets. Fair value measurements can be highly subjective and it is possible the application of reasonable judgment could develop different assumptions resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances.

ASC 805 requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at fair value as of the acquisition date. As of the date of this filing the accompanying unaudited pro forma purchase price allocation is preliminary and is subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed.

4. Purchase Price - Selected Verizon Data Center Business

The Acquisition represents a total value of approximately $3.6 billion. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price is allocated to the Selected Verizon Data Center Business’ assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair value as of the date of completion of the Acquisition. Based upon the estimated purchase price and the preliminary valuation, the preliminary purchase price allocation, which is subject to change based on Equinix’s final analysis is as follows (in thousands):

 

Preliminary Purchase Price Allocation

    

Other current assets

   $ 53    

Property, plant and equipment

     978,872    

Goodwill

     1,897,758

   $ 3,600,000    
  

 

 

   

 

(a) A preliminary estimate of $0.8 billion has been allocated to customer relationships with third parties with an estimated useful life of 15 years.

A preliminary estimate of $1.9 billion has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired. The preliminary purchase price allocation for the Acquisition is subject to revision as more detailed analysis is completed and additional information on the fair values of the Selected Verizon Data Center Business’ assets and liabilities becomes available. Any changes in the fair value of the net assets of the Selected Verizon Data Center Business will change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill. The final allocation of the purchase price, which will be based upon actual tangible and intangible assets acquired as well as liabilities assumed, will be determined after the completion of the Acquisition, and will differ materially from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements presented here. See Note 1 for more discussion about some of the arrangements, subject to further negotiation, finalization and approval, that will have a material impact to the purchase price allocation presented above.

5. Selected Verizon Data Center Business Acquisition Financings

Concurrently, and in connection with entering into the acquisition agreement with Verizon, Equinix entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”), dated December 6, 2016, with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (the “Commitment Parties”), pursuant to which the Commitment Parties committed to provide a senior unsecured bridge facility in aggregate principal amount of $2.0 billion for the purposes of funding (i) a portion of the cash consideration for the Acquisition and (ii) the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Acquisition.

The financing commitments of the Commitment Parties are subject to various conditions set forth in the Commitment Letter. The Company intends to obtain permanent financing prior to the closing of the Acquisition to replace the Commitment Letter and intends to then terminate the Commitment Letter. For purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, Equinix has assumed the permanent financing for the Acquisition will consist of:

 

    The full amount of the €1.0 billion Term B-2 Loan was borrowed on January 6, 2017 which translated to US$1.0525 billion. The Term B-2 Loan will bear interest at an index rate based on EURIBOR plus a margin of 3.25%. No original issue discount is applicable to the Term B-2 Loan. The Term B-2 Loan must be repaid in equal quarterly installments of 0.25% of the original principal amount of the Term B-2 Loan, with the remaining amount outstanding to be repaid in full on the seventh anniversary of the funding date of the Term B-2 Loan.

 

    An assumed $1,125.0 million aggregate principal amount of 10-year fixed rate senior notes with an assumed interest rate of 5.375%. For the purpose of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, the debt issuance costs related to the senior notes are assumed to be approximately $15.8 million and will be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over the 10-year terms of the notes.

 

    The sale of 4.7 million shares of Equinix common stock at a price of $375.69 per share, the NASDAQ Global Select Market closing price of Equinix common stock on March 3, 2017, resulting in estimated proceeds of $1,750.0 million before deducting estimated discounts and commissions and expenses, and excluding any shares that may be issued if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares of common stock. For the purpose of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, transaction costs are assumed to be $47.0 million. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase an additional 15% of the equity offering in full, the Company would issue an additional 0.7 million shares of Equinix common stock at an estimated price of $375.69 per share and receive additional estimated proceeds of $262.5 million before transaction costs of approximately $7.0 million. If the common stock offering increases by 25%, the Company would issue an additional 1.2 million shares of Equinix common stock at an estimated price of $375.69 per share and receive additional estimated proceeds of $437.5 million before transaction costs of approximately $11.6 million.

The final structure and terms of the Financings, other than the borrowing of the Term B-2 Loan, will be subject to market conditions and may change materially from the assumptions described above. Changes in the assumptions described above would result in changes to various components of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet, including cash and cash equivalents, long-term debt and additional paid-in capital, and various components of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of income, including interest expense, earnings per share and weighted-average shares outstanding. Depending upon the nature of the changes, the impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements could be material.
