“We again delivered strong results in the third quarter, with revenue, adjusted EBITDA and FFO growth of 22%, 25%, and 22%, year over year, respectively, driven by continued customer expansion demand across the portfolio and a focus on effectiveness and efficiency across the organization,” said Paul Szurek, CoreSite’s Chief Executive Officer. “Third-quarter leasing was substantially led by organic growth. This strong organic demand reflects our differentiated business model and ownership strategy, focusing on large edge markets in infill locations where the data community has a very high level of interaction and interdependence, which we successfully meet with our robust network and cloud connectivity combined with flexible density options.”

Financial Results

CoreSite reported net income attributable to common shares of $15.8 million, or $0.46 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to $12.2 million, or $0.36 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of 27.8% on a per-share basis. Net income attributable to common shares was consistent with the prior-quarter level.

CoreSite reported FFO per diluted share and unit of $1.10 for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of 22.2% compared to $0.90 per diluted share and unit for the three months ended September 30, 2016. FFO per diluted share and unit was also consistent with the prior-quarter level.

Total operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2017, were $123.1 million, a 21.5% increase year over year and an increase of 4.4% on a sequential-quarter basis.

2017 Guidance

In addition, CoreSite is maintaining its guidance of FFO per diluted share and unit in the range of $4.39 to $4.47, with the difference between net income and FFO being real estate depreciation and amortization.

This outlook is based on current economic conditions, internal assumptions about CoreSite’s customer base, and the supply and demand dynamics of the markets in which CoreSite operates. The guidance does not include the impact of any future financing, investment or disposition activities, beyond what has already been disclosed.

Upcoming Conferences and Events

Number of leases represents each agreement with a customer; a lease agreement could include multiple spaces and a customer could have multiple leases.

(2)

During Q3 2017, we signed and commenced a high density expansion at our Santa Clara campus.

(3)

GAAP annualized rent includes contractual payments related to reserved dedicated expansion space, which is excluded from the GAAP annualized rent per leased NRSF rate.

(4)

During Q2 2017, $4.1 million in annualized rent associated with a restructured lease at our Santa Clara campus expired resulting in rental churn of 1.7% which does not represent space vacated during the quarter.

(1)

Data center expansion capital expenditures include new data center construction, development projects adding capacity to existing data centers and other revenue generating investments. Data center expansion also includes investment of Deferred Expansion Capital. During the three months ended December 31, 2016, we incurred $65.0 million to acquire the Reston Campus Expansion, a 21.75-acre light-industrial / flex office park suitable for data center development. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, we incurred $12.2 million to acquire a two acre land parcel adjacent to our existing Santa Clara campus, which we refer to as SV8.

(2)

Non-recurring investments include upgrades to existing data center or office space and company-wide improvements that are ancillary to revenue generation such as internal system development and system-wide security upgrades, which have a future economic benefit.

(3)

Recurring capital expenditures include required equipment upgrades within our operating portfolio, which have a future economic benefit. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, and June 30, 2017, we incurred $0.3 million and $3.0 million, respectively, associated with replacing our chiller plants at LA2 that we expect to generate a significant return on investment.

(4)

Repairs and maintenance expense is classified within property operating and maintenance expense in the consolidated statement of operations. These expenditures represent recurring maintenance contracts and repairs to operating equipment necessary to maintain current operations.

As part of VA3 Phase 1B, we will build the shell of an 80,000 NRSF, 12 megawatt building, and a 77,000 NRSF centralized infrastructure building which will serve the entire VA3 property. Upon completion of VA3 Phase 1B, we will deliver 6 megawatts and 49,837 TKD NRSF. The centralized infrastructure building represents approximately $24 million of the estimated Phase 1B cost. The full construction of the 12 megawatt TKD building (Phase 1B and Phase 1C) will cost approximately $1,306 per NRSF, of which 6 megawatts is planned to be delivered with Phase 1C.

Based upon our current design plans for the Reston Campus Expansion, we estimate that we can build approximately 611,000 NRSF of incremental data center capacity (of which 74,759 NRSF is under construction) across multiple phases with new buildings and as existing light-industrial / flex office leases expire and customers vacate. Based on our entitlement application, we believe we may be able to build an additional 286,000 NRSF for a total of 897,000 NRSF of incremental data center capacity. These estimates are subject to change based on current economic conditions, final zoning approvals, and the supply and demand dynamics of the market. The chart assumes the minimum expected zoning entitlement.

(2)

These estimates are based on our current construction plans and expectations regarding entitlements. These estimates are subject to change based on current economic conditions, final zoning approvals, and the supply and demand dynamics of the market.

(3)

Represents incremental data center capacity that may be constructed within existing facilities in which the core and shell building have been developed and a portion of the existing space is not yet built out into data center space.

(4)

In addition to new development and incremental capacity in existing core and shell buildings, we have available acreage we own adjacent to our existing NY2 building in the form of an existing parking lot. By utilizing this land, we believe we can build approximately 100,000 NRSF of data center capacity in New York, upon receipt of necessary entitlements.

(1)

Implied growth is based on the midpoint of 2017 guidance.

(2)

Refer to the appendix for the adjustments made to net income to calculate adjusted EBITDA.

The following assumptions are included in CoreSite’s 2017 guidance:

1.

Interconnection revenue growth – CoreSite expects the 2017 growth rate to be between 13% and 16%, which, at the lower end, is generally in line with overall projected volume growth.

2.

Adjusted EBITDA margin – CoreSite’s guidance for adjusted EBITDA implies adjusted EBITDA margin of approximately 54.3% based on the midpoint of guidance, and revenue flow-through to adjusted EBITDA of approximately 61%.

3.

GAAP backlog – CoreSite’s projected annualized GAAP rent from signed but not yet commenced leases was $13.7 million as of September 30, 2017. CoreSite expects approximately 35% of the GAAP backlog to commence during the remainder of 2017 with the balance expected to commence during the first half of 2018.

4.

Capitalized interest – CoreSite expects the percentage of interest capitalized in 2017 to be in the range of 10%-15%, reflecting the lower level of development relative to increases in interest expense.

5.

Cash rent growth – CoreSite expects cash rent growth to be modestly weighted toward the second half of the year, due to expected renewals of strategic deployments resulting in lower mark-to-market rent increases in the first half of the year.

6.

Commencements – CoreSite expects lease commencements of approximately $30 million in annualized GAAP rent in 2017.

The following assumptions are being provided as part of CoreSite’s 2018 outlook:

1.

Financing transaction – CoreSite expects to add incremental debt financing during the first half of 2018 to increase liquidity and fund continued development across the portfolio. Timing, pricing, and the type of debt instrument are dependent on market conditions and CoreSite has targeted a total issuance amount of approximately $225 million-$300 million.

2.

Capital expenditures – CoreSite currently expects total capital investment to be between $250 million and $300 million in 2018, based on its current view of markets and absorption.

3.

New accounting standards – CoreSite is anticipating adopting two new accounting standards – revenue recognition and lease accounting – effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of these new standards predominantly impacts CoreSite in three ways:

a.

CoreSite will be required to gross up its balance sheet by $100 million-$300 million dollars to reflect the estimated lease liability for the properties it leases from third parties. The lower range is based on noncancellable lease terms and the upper range is based on noncancellable lease terms plus all of our renewal options.

b.

Depending upon the quantification of the balance sheet impact, the adoption of the new lease accounting standard may increase CoreSite’s rental expense to reflect increased levels of lease expense as a result of including additional renewal options in its current lease terms, with an estimated impact of $0.00 to $0.07 per share.

c.

Lastly, CoreSite will no longer capitalize indirect sales and marketing payroll costs associated with successful leasing, which is estimated to have a negative impact of $0.03 per share.

Formal 2018 guidance will be provided in connection with CoreSite’s fourth-quarter 2017 earnings call in February 2018.

Definitions

This document includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are helpful in understanding our business, as further described below. Our definition and calculation of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those of other Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) and therefore may not be comparable. The non-GAAP measures should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of our performance and should be considered only a supplement to net income, cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as measures of profitability and/or liquidity, computed in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted Funds From Operations “AFFO” is a non-GAAP measure that is used as a supplemental
operating measure specifically for comparing year over year ability to fund dividend distribution from operating activities.  We use AFFO as a basis to address our ability to fund our dividend payments. AFFO is calculated by adding to or subtracting from FFO:

1.

Plus: Amortization of deferred financing costs

2.

Plus: Non-cash compensation

3.

Plus: Non-real estate depreciation

4.

Plus: Impairment charges

5.

Plus: Below market debt amortization

6.

Less: Straight line rents adjustment

7.

Less: Amortization of above and below market leases

8.

Less: Recurring capital expenditures

9.

Less: Tenant improvements

10.

Less: Capitalized leasing costs

Capitalized leasing costs consist of commissions payable to third parties, including brokers, leasing agents, referral agents, and internal sales commissions payable to employees. Capitalized leasing costs are accrued and deducted from AFFO generally in the period the lease is executed. Leasing costs are generally paid a) to third party brokers and internal sales employees 50% at customer lease signing and 50% at lease commencement and b) to referral and leasing agents monthly over the lease term as and to the extent we receive payment from the end customer.

AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow from operations for the period, and is only intended to provide an additional measure of performance by adjusting for the effect of certain items noted above included in FFO. Other REITs widely report AFFO, however, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and, accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs.

Annualized Rent

Monthly contractual rent under existing commenced customer leases as of quarter-end, multiplied by 12. This amount reflects total annualized base rent before any one-time or non-recurring rent abatements and excludes power revenue, interconnection revenue and operating expense reimbursement.

Data Center Leasing Metrics

·

Rental Churn Rate – represents data center leases which are not renewed or are terminated during the period. Rental churn is calculated based on the annualized rent of data center expired leases terminated in the period, compared with total data center annualized rent at the beginning of the period.

·

Cash and GAAP Rent Growth – represents the increase in rental rates on renewed data center leases signed during the period, as compared with the previous rental rates for the same space. Cash and GAAP rent growth are calculated based on annualized rent from the renewed data center lease compared to annualized rent from the expired data center lease.

Data Center Net Rentable Square Feet (“NRSF”)

Both occupied and available data center NRSF includes a factor based on management’s estimate of space to account for a customer’s proportionate share of required data center support space (such as the mechanical, telecommunications and utility rooms) and building common areas, which may be updated on a periodic basis to reflect the most current build-out of our properties.

Deferred Expansion Capital

As we construct data center capacity, we work to optimize both the amount of the capital we deploy on power and cooling infrastructure and the timing of that capital deployment; as such, we generally construct our power and cooling infrastructure supporting our data center NRSF based on our estimate of customer utilization. This practice can result in our investment at a later time in Deferred Expansion Capital. We define Deferred Expansion Capital as our estimate of the incremental capital we may invest in the future to add power or cooling infrastructure to support existing or anticipated future customer utilization of NRSF within our operating data centers. From time to time, we may revise our estimate of Deferred Expansion Capital as well as the potential time period during which we may invest it. See the Data Center Projects Under Construction and Held for Development tables for more detail.

Earnings before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA –

EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We calculate adjusted EBITDA by adding our non-cash compensation expense, transaction costs from unsuccessful deals and business combinations and litigation expense to EBITDA as well as adjusting for the impact of impairment charges, gains or losses from sales of property and undepreciated land and gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt. Management uses EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA as indicators of our ability to incur and service debt. In addition, we consider EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to be appropriate supplemental measures of our performance because they eliminate depreciation and interest, which permits investors to view income from operations without the impact of non-cash depreciation or the cost of debt. However, because EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA are calculated before recurring cash charges including interest expense and taxes, and are not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of our business, their utilization as a cash flow measurement is limited.

Appendix


Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a supplemental measure of our performance which should be considered
along with, but not as an alternative to, net income and cash provided by operating activities as a measure of operating performance and liquidity. We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and undepreciated land and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO attributable to common shares and units represents FFO less preferred stock dividends declared during the period.

Our management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, by 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.

We offer this measure because we recognize that investors use FFO as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited 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 capitalized 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. FFO is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered a measure of liquidity, an alternative to net income, cash provided by operating activities or any other performance measure determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. In addition, our calculations of FFO are not necessarily comparable to FFO as calculated by other REITs that do not use the same definition or implementation guidelines or interpret the standards differently from us. Investors in our securities should not rely on these measures as a substitute for any GAAP measure, including net income.

Monthly Recurring Revenue per Cabinet Equivalent

Represents the turn-key monthly recurring colocation revenue (“MRR”) per cabinet equivalent billed. We define MRR as recurring contractual revenue under existing commenced customer leases.  MRR per cabinet equivalent is calculated as (current quarter MRR/3) divided by ((quarter-end cabinet equivalents billed plus prior quarter-end cabinet equivalents billed)/2). Cabinet equivalents are calculated as cage-usable square feet (turn-key leased NRSF/NRSF factor) divided by 25.

Appendix


Net Operating Income (“NOI”) and Cash NOI – NOI, and cash NOI are supplemental measures for the operating performance of the company’s portfolio. NOI is operating revenues less operating expenses adjusted for items such as depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses, transaction costs from unsuccessful deals and business combinations and litigation expenses. Cash NOI is NOI less straight-line rents and above and below market rent amortization.

NRSF Held for Development

Represents incremental data center capacity that may be constructed in existing facilities that requires significant capital investment in order to develop new data center facilities. The data represents management's best estimate of incremental costs based on estimated NRSF and power design and are subject to market conditions and build-out specifications and may vary.

NRSF Under Construction

Represents NRSF for which substantial activities are ongoing to prepare the property for its intended use following development. The NRSF reflects management’s estimate of engineering drawings and required support space and is subject to change based on final demising of space. TKD estimated development costs include two components: 1) general construction to ready the NRSF as data center space and 2) power, cooling and other infrastructure to provide the designed amount of power capacity for the project. Following development completion, incremental capital, referred to as Deferred Expansion Capital, may be invested to support existing or anticipated future customer utilization of NRSF within our operating data centers.

Turn-Key Same-Store

Includes turn-key data center space that was leased or available to be leased to our colocation customers as of December 31, 2015, at each of our properties, and excludes powered shell data center space, office and light-industrial space and space for which development was completed and became available to be leased after December 31, 2015. The turn-key same-store space as of December 31, 2015, is 1,360,068 NRSF.  We track same-store on a computer room basis within each data center facility. 

Stabilized and Pre-Stabilized NRSF

Data center projects and facilities that recently have been developed and are in the initial lease-up phase are classified as pre-stabilized NRSF until they reach 85% occupancy or have been in service for 24 months. Pre-stabilized projects and facilities become stabilized operating properties at the earlier of achievement of 85% occupancy or 24 months after development completion and are included in the stabilized operating NRSF.
