Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
General | General The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Iron Mountain Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("IMI"), and its subsidiaries ("we" or "us"), have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, but we believe that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are presented herein and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto, which are included herein, should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 13, 2020 (our "Annual Report"). We have been organized and have operated as a real estate investment trust for United States federal income tax purposes ("REIT") beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2014. In January 2020, the World Health Organization declared a novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") a pandemic. This resulted in U.S. federal, state and local and foreign governments and private entities mandating various restrictions, including travel restrictions, restrictions on public gatherings and stay-at-home orders and advisories. In response, we temporarily closed certain of our offices and facilities across the world and implemented certain travel restrictions for our employees. The preventative and protective actions that governments have ordered, or we have implemented as an organization, have resulted in a period of reduced service operations and business disruption for us, our customers and other third parties with which we do business. Currently, certain of the restrictions have been lifted; however, other restrictions still remain and the broader impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows, including impacts to estimates used throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”), remain uncertain and difficult to predict as information continues to rapidly evolve, and the severity and duration of the pandemic remains unknown, as is our visibility of its effect on the markets we serve and our customers within those markets.
