local economic conditions; defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants; increased interest rates, including as a result of
increased credit spreads, increased operating costs; our inability to manage domestic and international growth, acquisitions,
development and redevelopment effectively; difficulty acquiring or operating properties in foreign jurisdictions, changes in
foreign laws and regulations, including those related to taxation and real estate ownership and operation, increased interest
rates and operating costs; inability to acquire new properties (including those we are in the process of acquiring); our failure
to obtain necessary outside debt or equity financing at all, or on favorable terms; increased construction costs; decreased
rental rates or increased vacancy rates; difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions at
acceptable return levels; our failure to successfully operate acquired properties and operations; failure of acquired properties
to perform as expected; our failure to successfully develop or redevelop properties acquired for that purpose or unexpected
costs related to development or redevelopment; our failure to maintain our status as a REIT; possible adverse changes to tax
law; environmental uncertainties and risks related to natural disasters; environmental or contamination issues at our
buildings; financial market fluctuations; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; risks of operating in foreign countries;
and

are
not
exhaustive, and additional factors could adversely affect our business and financial performance, including those discussed

Definition of non-GAAP financial measures
This presentation 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
REITs,
and,
therefore,
may
not
be
comparable.
The
non-GAAP
financial
measures should not be considered an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measurement of performance and should not be considered an alternative to cash
flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity.
Funds from Operations (FFO)
We calculate 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) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, 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.
We
also
believe
that,
as
awidely
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
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.
Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO)
We present adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, as a supplemental operating measure because, when compared year over year, it assesses our ability to fund
dividend and distribution requirements from our operating activities. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the operations of REITs, AFFO will be used
by investors as a basis to assess our ability to fund dividend payments in comparison to other REITs. We calculate adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, by adding
to or subtracting from FFO (i) non-real estate depreciation, (ii) amortization of deferred financing costs (iii) non cash compensation (iv) loss from early extinguishment of
debt (v) straight line rents (vi) fair value of lease revenue amortization (vii) capitalized leasing payroll (viii) recurring tenant improvements and (ix) capitalized leasing
commissions.
Other
equity
REITs
may
not
calculate
AFFO
in
a
consistent
manner.
Accordingly,
our
AFFO
may
not
be
comparable
to
other
equity
REITs’
AFFO.
AFFO
should
be
considered
only
as
a
supplement
to
net
income
computed
in
accordance
with
GAAP
as
a
measure
of
our
operations.
Net Operating Income (NOI) and Cash NOI
NOI represents rental revenue and tenant reimbursement revenue less rental property operating and maintenance, property taxes and insurance expenses (as reflected
in statement of operations). NOI is commonly used by stockholders, company management and industry analysts as a measurement of operating performance of the
company’s rental portfolio. Cash NOI is NOI less straight-line rents and above and below market rent amortization. Cash NOI is commonly used by stockholders,
company management and industry analysts as a measure of property operating performance on a cash basis. However, because NOI and cash NOI exclude
depreciation
and
amortization
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 effect and could materially
impact our results from operations, the utility of NOI and cash NOI as measures 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
such
other
REITs’
NOI
and
cash
NOI.
Accordingly,
NOI
and
cash
NOI
should
be
considered only as supplements to net income as measures of our performance.
Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA)
We present Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization or EBITDA as a supplemental operating measure because, because in excluding interest,
taxes,
depreciation
and
amortization,
it
permits
investors
to
view
income
from
operations
without
the
impact
of
the
cost
of
debt,
non
cash
depreciation
and
amortization
and taxes.
We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of other companies in the data center industry that will be used by investors as a
basis
to
compare
our
operating
performance
with
that
of
others
in
that
industry.
However,
because
EBITDA
excludes
interest,
taxes,
depreciation
and
amortization
and
captures
neither
the
changes
in
the
value
of
our
properties
that
result
from
use
or
market
conditions,
nor
the
current
level
of
capital
expenditures
and
other
capitalized
items, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of EBITDA as a measure of our performance is
limited.
Accordingly, EBITDA should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance.  Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for
preferred dividends and minority interest.
Each of FFO and Adjusted EBITDA exclude items that have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations, and therefore the utility of FFO
and Adjusted EBTIDA as a measure of our performance is limited.
Nothing

herein
is
intended
to

or
confirm
the
earnings,
FFO
or
acquisition
guidance
we
discussed
on
our
Earnings
Conference

held
on
November
7, 2007 and available on our website at www.digitalrealtytrust.com.
