1. 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.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash invested in highly liquid short-term securities, which have remaining maturities at the date of purchase of less than 90 days. Restricted cash was less than $5,000 at both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

b. Goodwill
Our reporting units as of December 31, 2019 are described in detail in Note 2.h. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report. The goodwill associated with acquisitions completed during the first nine months of 2020 (described in Note 4) has been incorporated into our reporting units as they existed as of December 31, 2019.
During the first quarter of 2020, we concluded that we had a triggering event related to our Fine Arts reporting unit, requiring us to perform an interim goodwill impairment test. The primary factor contributing to our conclusion was the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to this particular business and its customers and revenue sources, which caused us to believe it was more likely than not that the carrying value of our Fine Arts reporting unit exceeded its fair value. During the first quarter of 2020, we performed an interim goodwill impairment test for our Fine Arts reporting unit utilizing a discounted cash flow model, with updated assumptions on future revenues, operating expenditures and capital expenditures. We concluded that the fair value of our Fine Arts reporting unit was less than its carrying value, and, therefore, we recorded a $23,000 impairment charge on the goodwill associated with this reporting unit during the first quarter of 2020. Factors that may impact these assumptions include, but are not limited to: (i) our ability to maintain, or grow, storage rental and service revenues in line with current expectations and (ii) our ability to manage our fixed and variable costs in line with potential future revenue declines.
During the second and third quarters of 2020, for each of our reporting units, no factors were identified that would alter our interim goodwill impairment analysis performed during the first quarter of 2020, or change the conclusions reached at that time. Any material adverse changes to our businesses that negatively impact their fair values could result in future goodwill impairments.
The changes in the carrying value of goodwill attributable to each reportable operating segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 are as follows:

| Global RIM Business |  | Global Data Center Business |  | Corporate and Other Business |  | Total Consolidated
Goodwill balance, net of accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2019 | $ | 3,942,901 |  |  | $ | 424,568 |  |  | $ | 117,740 |  |  | $ | 4,485,209 |

Accumulated goodwill impairment balance as of September 30, 2020 | $ | 132,409 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 26,011 |  |  | $ | 158,420 |

d. Accounts Receivable
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 changes how entities will measure credit losses on most financial assets. The standard eliminates the probable initial recognition of estimated losses and provides a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivable, loans and other financial instruments.
On January 1, 2020 we adopted ASU 2016-13 on a modified retrospective basis for all financial assets measured at amortized cost. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not result in a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We now calculate and monitor our allowance considering future potential economic and macroeconomic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts for expected future collectability of our outstanding receivables, in addition to considering our past loss experience, current and prior trends in our aged receivables and credit memo activity. Our considerations when calculating our allowance include, but are not limited to, the following: the location of our businesses, the composition of our customer base, our product and service lines, potential future economic unrest, and potential future macroeconomic factors, including natural disasters and any impacts associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Continued adjustments will be made should there be any material change to reasonable and supportable forecasts that may impact our likelihood of collection, as it becomes evident. Our highly diverse global customer base, with no single customer accounting for more than 1% of revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, limits our exposure to concentration of credit risk.
The rollforward of allowance for doubtful accounts and credit memo reserves for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is as follows:

Balance at December 31, 2019 |  |  |  | $ | 42,856 |
Credit memos charged to revenue |  |  |  | 42,713 |
Allowance for bad debts charged to expense |  |  |  | 25,715 |
Deductions and other(1) |  |  |  | (57,496) |
Balance at September 30, 2020 |  |  |  | $ | 53,788 |

_______________________________________________________________
(1)Primarily consists of the issuance of credit memos, the write-off of accounts receivable and the impact associated with currency translation adjustments.

h. Income Taxes
We provide for income taxes during interim periods based on our estimate of the effective tax rate for the year.
Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2020 |  | 2019
Effective Tax Rate(1) | 26.5 | % |  | 16.8 | % |  | 25.7 | % |  | 15.7 | %

_______________________________________________________________
(1)The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% and our overall effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were the benefit derived from the dividends paid deduction and the impact of differences in the tax rates at which our foreign earnings are subject, including foreign exchange gains and losses in different jurisdictions with different tax rates. In addition, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the costs associated with Project Summit (as defined in Note 10) are more heavily weighted to our United States qualified REIT subsidiaries, and, therefore, provide no tax benefit.
i. Fair Value Measurements
The assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

|  |  |  | Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2020 Using

n. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2018-13”), which makes a number of changes meant to add, modify or remove certain disclosure requirements associated with the movement of our financial assets and liabilities among the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. We adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020. ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13. We adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 on a modified retrospective basis. See Note 2.d. for information regarding the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our consolidated financial statements.

o. Change in Presentation
We have historically classified our Significant Acquisition Costs (as defined in Note 2.x. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report) as components of Selling, general and administrative expenses and Cost of sales. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019, we present Significant Acquisition Costs as its own line item within Operating Expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The prior periods have been conformed to this presentation.
The following table sets forth the effect of the change in presentation of Significant Acquisition Costs to certain line items of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019:

| Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 |  | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) | $ | (1,945) |  |  | $ | (4,136) |
Selling, general and administrative | $ | (2,005) |  |  | $ | (4,461) |
Significant Acquisition Costs | $ | 3,950 |  |  | $ | 8,597 |

All Significant Acquisition Costs were incurred by December 31, 2019.
3. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Derivative instruments we are party to include: (i) interest rate swap agreements (which are designated as cash flow hedges) and (ii) cross-currency swap agreements (which are designated as net investment hedges).
Interest Rate Swap Agreements Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had $350,000 in notional value of interest rate swap agreements outstanding, which limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness. These interest rate swap agreements expire in March 2022. Under the interest rate swap agreements, we receive variable rate interest payments associated with the notional amount of each interest rate swap, based upon one-month LIBOR, in exchange for the payment of fixed interest rates as specified in the interest rate swap agreements.
We have forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness once our current interest rate swap agreements expire in March 2022. The forward-starting interest rate swap agreements have $350,000 in notional value, commence in March 2022 and expire in March 2024. Under the forward-starting interest rate swap agreements, we will receive variable rate interest payments based upon one-month LIBOR, in exchange for the payment of fixed interest rates as specified in the interest rate swap agreements.
We have designated these interest rate swap agreements, including the forward-starting interest rate swap agreements, as cash flow hedges. Unrealized gains are recognized as assets, while unrealized losses are recognized as liabilities. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had a derivative liability of $23,219 and $8,774, respectively, which was recorded as a component of Other long-term liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have recorded the change in fair value of the interest rate swap agreements as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive items, net in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of September 30, 2020, cumulative net losses of $23,219 are recorded within Accumulated other comprehensive items, net associated with these cash flow hedges.
Net Investment Hedges
a. Cross-Currency Swap Agreements Designated as a Hedge of Net Investment
We enter into cross-currency swap agreements to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the United States dollar and the Euro. The cross-currency swap agreements are designated as a hedge of net investment against certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries and require an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity. The cross-currency swaps are marked to market at each reporting period, representing the fair values of the cross-currency swap agreements, and any changes in fair value are recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive items, net. Unrealized gains are recognized as assets while unrealized losses are recognized as liabilities.
In September 2020, we entered into cross-currency swap agreements whereby we notionally exchanged approximately $359,200 at an interest rate of 4.5% for approximately 300,000 Euros at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.4%. These cross-currency swap agreements expire in February 2026. At September 30, 2020, we had a derivative asset of $4,346, which was recorded as a component of Other within Other assets, net associated with these cross-currency swap agreements.
In August 2019, we entered into cross-currency swap agreements whereby we notionally exchanged approximately $110,000 at an interest rate of 6.0% for approximately 99,055 Euros at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.65%. These cross-currency swap agreements expire in August 2023. We had a derivative liability of $2,390 and $982 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which was recorded as a component of Other long-term liabilities associated with these cross-currency swap agreements.
Unrealized losses (gains) associated with the cross-currency swap agreements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are as follows:

| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2020 |  | 2019
Unrealized losses (gains) associated with cross-currency swap agreements | $ | 1,370 |  |  | $ | (1,972) |  |  | $ | (2,938) |  |  | $ | (1,972) |

As of September 30, 2020, cumulative net gains of $1,956 are recorded within Accumulated other comprehensive items, net associated with these net investment hedges.

b. Euro Notes Designated as a Hedge of Net Investment
Prior to their redemption in August 2020, we designated a portion of our previously outstanding Euro Notes (as defined in Note 5) as a hedge of net investment of certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries. From January 1, 2020 through the date of redemption and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we designated, on average, 300,000 and 279,821 Euros, respectively, of our Euro Notes as a hedge of net investment of certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries. As a result, we recorded foreign exchange (gains) losses related to the change in fair value of such debt due to currency translation adjustments as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive items, net.
Foreign exchange losses (gains) associated with this hedge of net investment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2020 |  | 2019
Foreign exchange losses (gains) associated with net investment hedge | $ | 16,604 |  |  | $ | (13,101) |  |  | $ | 17,005 |  |  | $ | (14,962) |

As of September 30, 2020, cumulative net gains of $3,256, net of tax, are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive items, net associated with this net investment hedge.
4. Acquisitions
Prior to January 9, 2020, we owned a 25% equity interest in OSG. On January 9, 2020, we acquired the remaining 75% equity interest in OSG for cash consideration of approximately $95,500 (the "OSG Acquisition"). The OSG Acquisition enabled us to extend our Global RIM Business in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Armenia. The results of OSG are fully consolidated within our condensed consolidated financial statements from the closing date of the OSG Acquisition. In connection with the OSG Acquisition, our previously held 25% equity investment in OSG was remeasured to fair value at the closing date of the OSG Acquisition; as a result, we recorded a gain of approximately $10,000 during the first quarter of 2020, which is included as a component of Other expense (income), net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the 25% equity investment in OSG was determined based on the purchase price of the OSG Acquisition.
On February 17, 2020, in order to enhance our existing operations in the United Arab Emirates, we acquired Glenbeigh Records Management DWC-LLC, a storage and records management company, for total cash consideration of approximately $29,100.

5. Debt (Continued)
(1)Collectively, the credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"). The Credit Agreement consists of a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a term loan (the "Term Loan A"). The Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on June 3, 2023. Of the $172,603 of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2020, $128,000 was denominated in United States dollars, 3,200 was denominated in Canadian dollars and 36,000 was denominated in Euros. In addition, we also had various outstanding letters of credit totaling $3,202. The remaining amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2020 was $1,574,195 (which amount represents the maximum availability as of such date). The average interest rate in effect under the Credit Agreement was 2.3% as of September 30, 2020 and the average interest rate in effect under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2020 was 2.9%.
(2)Collectively, the "Parent Notes".
See Note 4 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report for additional information regarding the Credit Agreement and our other long-term debt, including the direct obligors of each of our debt instruments as well as information regarding the fair value of our debt instruments (including the levels of the fair value hierarchy used to determine the fair value of our debt instruments). The levels of the fair value hierarchy used to determine the fair value of our debt as of September 30, 2020 are consistent with the levels of the fair value hierarchy used to determine the fair value of our debt as of December 31, 2019 (which are disclosed in our Annual Report).
June 2020 Offerings
On June 22, 2020, IMI completed private offerings of (i) $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 5% Notes, (ii) $1,300,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 5 1/4% Notes due 2030 and (iii) $600,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 5 5/8% Notes (collectively, the "June 2020 Offerings"). The 5% Notes, the 5 1/4% Notes due 2030 and the 5 5/8% Notes were issued at 100.000% of par. The total net proceeds of approximately $2,376,000 from the June 2020 Offerings, after deducting the initial purchasers' commissions, were used to redeem all of the 4 3/8% Notes, the 6% Notes due 2023 and the 5 3/4% Notes and to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
On June 29, 2020, we redeemed all of the $500,000 in aggregate principal outstanding of the 4 3/8% Notes at 100.000% of par and all of the $600,000 in aggregate principal outstanding of the 6% Notes due 2023 at 102.000% of par, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. We recorded a charge of $17,040 to Other expense (income), net during the second quarter of 2020 related to the early extinguishment of this debt, representing the call premium associated with the early redemption of the 6% Notes due 2023, as well as a write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the early redemption of the 4 3/8% Notes and the 6% Notes due 2023.
On July 2, 2020, we redeemed all of the $1,000,000 in aggregate principal outstanding of the 5 3/4% Notes at 100.958% of par, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. We recorded a charge of $15,310 to Other expense (income), net during the third quarter of 2020 related to the early extinguishment of this debt, representing the call premium and write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees.
August 2020 Offering
On August 18, 2020, IMI completed a private offering of $1,100,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 4 1/2% Notes. The 4 1/2% Notes were issued at 100.000% of par. The total net proceeds of approximately $1,089,000 from the issuance of the 4 1/2% Notes, after deducting the initial purchasers' commissions, were used to redeem all of the CAD Notes, the Euro Notes, and the 5 3/8% Notes and to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

5. Debt (Continued)
On August 21, 2020, we redeemed all of the 250,000 CAD in aggregate principal outstanding of the CAD Notes at 104.031% of par, 300,000 Euro in aggregate principal outstanding of the Euro Notes at 101.500% of par and $250,000 in aggregate principal outstanding of the 5 3/8% Notes at 106.628% of par, plus, in each case accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. We recorded a charge of $35,950 to Other expense (income), net during the third quarter of 2020 related to the early extinguishment of the CAD Notes, the Euro Notes and the 5 3/8% Notes, representing the call premiums and write off unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the early redemption of these debt instruments.
Accounts Receivable Securitization Program
On March 31, 2020, we amended the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program to (i) increase the maximum amount available from $275,000 to $300,000 and (ii) extend the maturity date from July 30, 2020 to July 30, 2021, at which point all obligations become due. The full amount outstanding under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program is classified within the current portion of long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
Cash Pooling
We currently utilize two separate cash pooling arrangements, one of which we utilize to manage global liquidity requirements for our qualified REIT subsidiaries (the "QRS Cash Pool") and the other for our taxable REIT subsidiaries (the "TRS Cash Pool"). The approximate amount of the net cash position for our QRS Cash Pool and the TRS Cash Pool and the approximate amount of the gross position and outstanding debit balances for each of these pools as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are as follows:

| September 30, 2020 |  | December 31, 2019
| Gross Cash Position |  | Outstanding Debit Balances |  | Net Cash Position |  | Gross Cash Position |  | Outstanding Debit Balances |  | Net Cash Position
QRS Cash Pool | $ | 573,600 |  |  | $ | (573,000) |  |  | $ | 600 |  |  | $ | 372,100 |  |  | $ | (369,000) |  |  | $ | 3,100 |
TRS Cash Pool | 363,800 |  |  | (362,600) |  |  | 1,200 |  |  | 319,800 |  |  | (301,300) |  |  | 18,500 |

The net cash position balances as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are reflected as cash and cash equivalents in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Letters of Credit
As of September 30, 2020, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $34,761, of which $3,202 reduce our borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility (as described above). The letters of credit expire at various dates between October 2020 and January 2033.
Debt Covenants
The Credit Agreement, our bond indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness contain certain restrictive financial and operating covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to complete acquisitions, pay cash dividends, incur indebtedness, make investments, sell assets and take certain other corporate actions. The covenants do not contain a rating trigger. Therefore, a change in our debt rating would not trigger a default under the Credit Agreement, our bond indentures or other agreements governing our indebtedness. The Credit Agreement requires that we satisfy a fixed charge coverage ratio, a net total lease adjusted leverage ratio and a net secured debt lease adjusted leverage ratio on a quarterly basis and our bond indentures require that, among other things, we satisfy a leverage ratio (not lease adjusted) or a fixed charge coverage ratio (not lease adjusted), as a condition to taking actions such as paying dividends and incurring indebtedness.

5. Debt (Continued)
The Credit Agreement uses EBITDAR-based calculations and the bond indentures use EBITDA-based calculations as the primary measures of financial performance for purposes of calculating leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The bond indenture EBITDA-based calculations include our consolidated subsidiaries, other than those we have designated as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries” as defined in the bond indentures. Generally, the Credit Agreement and the bond indentures use a trailing four fiscal quarter basis for purposes of the relevant calculations and require certain adjustments and exclusions for purposes of those calculations, which make the calculation of financial performance for purposes of those calculations under the Credit Agreement and bond indentures not directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein. We are in compliance with our leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios under the Credit Agreement, our bond indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Noncompliance with these leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
6. Segment Information
Our three reportable operating segments as of December 31, 2019 are described in Note 9 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report and are as follows:

7. Commitments and Contingencies
We are involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business. A portion of the defense and/or settlement costs associated with such litigation is covered by various commercial liability insurance policies purchased by us and, in limited cases, indemnification from third parties. There have been no material updates to the matters disclosed in Note 10 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report, and we continue to believe that the resolution of the matters disclosed in Note 10 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
We have estimated a reasonably possible range for all loss contingencies, including those disclosed in Note 10 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report and believe it is reasonably possible that we could incur aggregate losses in addition to amounts currently accrued for all matters up to an additional $5,000 over the next several years, of which certain amounts would be covered by insurance or indemnity arrangements.
8. Stockholders' Equity Matters

10. Project Summit
In October 2019, we announced our global program designed to better position us for future growth and achievement of our strategic objectives (“Project Summit”). Since Project Summit was announced, we have identified additional opportunities to streamline our business and operations, as well as accelerated the timing of certain opportunities previously identified. Such opportunities include leveraging new technology solutions to enable us to modernize our service delivery model and more efficiently utilize our fleet, labor and real estate, which has broadened the initial scope of Project Summit. The activities associated with Project Summit began in the fourth quarter of 2019 and are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2021.
Including the expanded scope of Project Summit, we estimate that the implementation of Project Summit will result in total costs of approximately $450,000, which includes (1) operating expenditures (“Restructuring Charges”) that primarily consist of: (i) employee severance costs; (ii) internal costs associated with the development and implementation of Project Summit initiatives; (iii) professional fees, primarily related to third party consultants who are assisting with the design and execution of various initiatives as well as project management activities and (iv) system implementation and data conversion costs, and (2) capital expenditures. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, Restructuring Charges primarily related to employee severance costs, internal costs associated with the development and implementation of Project Summit initiatives and professional fees.
Restructuring Charges included in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations by segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and from the inception of Project Summit through September 30, 2020 are as follows:

| Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 |  | Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 |  | From the inception of Project Summit through September 30, 2020
Global RIM Business | $ | 16,183 |  |  | $ | 37,245 |  |  | $ | 59,145 |
Global Data Center Business | 296 |  |  | 986 |  |  | 1,292 |
Corporate and Other Business | 31,892 |  |  | 90,484 |  |  | 116,875 |
Restructuring Charges | $ | 48,371 |  |  | $ | 128,715 |  |  | $ | 177,312 |

A rollforward of the accrued Restructuring Charges, which is included as a component of Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is as follows:

Balance as of December 31, 2019(1) | $ | 17,777 |
Amounts accrued | 128,715 |
Payments | (97,646) |
Other, including currency translation adjustments | (3,604) |
Balance as of September 30, 2020(2) | $ | 45,242 |

_______________________________________________________________
(1) Accrued Restructuring Charges at December 31, 2019 consist of approximately $13,000 of accrued professional fees and approximately $4,800 of accrued employee severance costs.
(2) Accrued Restructuring Charges at September 30, 2020 consist of approximately $33,400 of accrued professional fees and approximately $11,800 of accrued employee severance costs.

11. Subsequent Events
On October 1, 2020, we formed a joint venture (the “Frankfurt JV Transaction”) with AGC Equity Partners (“AGC”) to design and develop a 280,000 square foot, 27 megawatt, hyperscale data center currently under development in Frankfurt, Germany (the “Frankfurt JV”). AGC acquired an 80% equity interest in the Frankfurt JV, while we retained a 20% equity interest (the “Frankfurt JV Investment”). The total cash consideration for the 80% equity interest sold to AGC was approximately $100,000. The substantial majority of the consideration was received upon the closing of the Frankfurt JV, and we are entitled to receive an additional approximately $10,000 upon the completion of development of the data center, which we expect to occur in the second quarter of 2021. In connection with the Frankfurt JV Transaction, we also entered into agreements whereby we will earn various fees, including property management and construction and development fees, for services we are providing to the Frankfurt JV.
The assets included in the Frankfurt JV Transaction have a carrying value of approximately $100,000 at September 30, 2020, and are primarily land and land development assets which are included within our Global Data Center Business segment. The assets are classified as held for sale and are included within Other, a component of Other assets, net in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2020.
We will account for the Frankfurt JV Investment as an equity method investment, and the carrying value will be presented as a component of Other within Other assets, net in our Consolidated Balance Sheet beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2020, we expect to recognize a gain of approximately $25,000 associated with the Frankfurt JV Transaction, representing the excess of the fair value of the consideration received over the carrying value of the assets. The gain remains subject to customary closing adjustments. At the closing date of the Frankfurt JV Transaction, the fair value of our Frankfurt JV Investment was approximately $25,000.

Overview
The following discussions set forth, for the periods indicated, management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. Significant trends and changes are discussed for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 within each section. Trends and changes that are consistent with the three and nine month periods are not repeated and are discussed on a year to date basis only.
COVID-19
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, 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. While we have broad geographic and customer diversification with operations in approximately 50 countries, and no single customer accounting for more than 1% of our revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, COVID-19 is a global pandemic impacting numerous industries and geographies. While we do not currently believe that the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic have had a material adverse impact on our ability to collect our accounts receivable, global economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic may have a material adverse effect on our customers, which could impact our future ability to collect our accounts receivable. We continue to monitor the credit worthiness of our customers and customer payment trends, as well as the related impact on our liquidity.
We have taken certain actions during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 to manage our costs and capital expenditures, including, but not limited to: (i) the termination of nearly all of our temporary and contract workers; (ii) reductions in our full-time and part-time work forces; (iii) temporary furloughs, reduced hours or other temporary reduction measures; (iv) the deferral of certain previously planned non-essential capital investments and (v) the implementation of a temporary freeze on future acquisitions. We can provide no assurance that the cost savings measures we have taken, or may take in future periods, will be sufficient to offset any future service level declines, and we continue to evaluate the need for these cost saving measures and additional cost saving measures as additional information regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and the related economic downturn become known. We have incurred certain costs due to the COVID-19 pandemic which are direct, incremental and not expected to recur once the pandemic ends, which include the purchase of personal protective equipment for our employees and incremental cleaning costs of our facilities, among other direct costs. We have excluded these costs in calculating our various non-GAAP measures (as described below).
Project Summit
In October 2019, we announced our global program designed to better position us for future growth and achievement of our strategic objectives ("Project Summit"). Since Project Summit was announced, we have identified additional opportunities to streamline our business and operations, as well as accelerated the timing of certain opportunities previously identified. Such opportunities include leveraging new technology solutions to enable us to modernize our service delivery model and more efficiently utilize our fleet, labor and real estate, which has broadened the initial scope of Project Summit.
The activities associated with Project Summit began in the fourth quarter of 2019 and are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2021. We expect the total program benefits associated with Project Summit to be fully realized exiting 2021. Including the expanded scope of Project Summit described above, we estimate that Project Summit will improve annual Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) by approximately $375.0 million exiting 2021. In addition, we expect Project Summit to improve annual Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $165.0 million in 2020. We will continue to evaluate our overall operating model, as well as various opportunities and initiatives, including those associated with real estate consolidation, system implementation and process changes, which could result in the identification and implementation of additional actions associated with Project Summit and incremental costs and benefits.

Table of Contents
Including the expanded scope of Project Summit described above, we estimate that the implementation of Project Summit will result in total costs of approximately $450.0 million, of which we expect to incur approximately $200.0 million in 2020. These costs include (1) operating expenditures ("Restructuring Charges") that primarily consist of: (i) employee severance costs; (ii) internal costs associated with the development and implementation of Project Summit initiatives; (iii) professional fees, primarily related to third party consultants who are assisting with the design and execution of various initiatives as well as project management activities and (iv) system implementation and data conversion costs, and (2) capital expenditures. The following table presents (in thousands) the total costs related to Project Summit, comprised of Restructuring Charges (primarily related to employee severance costs, internal costs associated with the development and implementation of Project Summit initiatives and professional fees) and capital expenditures for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and from the inception of Project Summit through September 30, 2020.

| For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 |  | For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 |  | From the inception of Project Summit through September 30, 2020
Restructuring Charges | $ | 48,371 |  |  | $ | 128,715 |  |  | $ | 177,312 |
Capital Expenditures associated with Project Summit | 2,567 |  |  | 4,672 |  |  | 4,672 |
Total | $ | 50,938 |  |  | $ | 133,387 |  |  | $ | 181,984 |

See Note 10 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for more information on the Restructuring Charges.
During the fourth quarter of 2019, as a result of the realignment of our global managerial structure and changes to our internal financial reporting associated with Project Summit, we reassessed the composition of our reportable operating segments and reporting units, as discussed in Note 2.h. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report. As a result of these changes, previously reported segment information has been restated to conform to the current presentation.
Change in Presentation
We have historically classified our Significant Acquisition Costs (as defined in Note 2.x. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report) as components of Selling, general and administrative expenses and Cost of sales. Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2019, we present Significant Acquisition Costs as its own line item within Operating Expenses in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The prior periods have been conformed to this presentation.
All Significant Acquisition Costs were incurred by December 31, 2019. Significant Acquisition Costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were approximately $4.0 million and $8.6 million, respectively.
Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and also excludes certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results, specifically: (1) (gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net (including real estate); (2) intangible impairments; (3) other expense (income), net (which includes foreign currency transaction (gains) losses, net, and debt extinguishment expense); (4) Significant Acquisition Costs; (5) Restructuring Charges; and (6) COVID-19 Costs (as defined below). Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenues. We use multiples of current or projected Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with our discounted cash flow models to determine our estimated overall enterprise valuation and to evaluate acquisition targets. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide our current and potential investors with relevant and useful information regarding our ability to generate cash flows to support business investment. These measures are an integral part of the internal reporting system we use to assess and evaluate the operating performance of our business. We also show Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for each of our reportable operating segments under “Results of Operations – Segment Analysis” below.

Table of Contents
Adjusted EBITDA excludes both interest expense, net and the provision (benefit) for income taxes. These expenses are associated with our capitalization and tax structures, which we do not consider when evaluating the operating profitability of our core operations. Finally, Adjusted EBITDA does not include depreciation and amortization expenses, in order to eliminate the impact of capital investments, which we evaluate by comparing capital expenditures to incremental revenue generated and as a percentage of total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), such as operating income, income (loss) from continuing operations, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities from continuing operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP).

Adjusted EPS
Adjusted EPS is defined as reported earnings per share fully diluted from continuing operations excluding: (1) (gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net (including real estate); (2) intangible impairments; (3) other expense (income), net (which includes foreign currency transaction (gains) losses, net, and debt extinguishment expense); (4) Significant Acquisition Costs; (5) Restructuring Charges; (6) COVID-19 Costs; and (7) the tax impact of reconciling items and discrete tax items. Adjusted EPS includes income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. We do not believe these excluded items to be indicative of our ongoing operating results, and they are not considered when we are forecasting our future results. We believe Adjusted EPS is of value to our current and potential investors when comparing our results from past, present and future periods.

_______________________________________________________________
(1)The difference between our effective tax rates and our structural tax rate (or adjusted effective tax rates) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 is primarily due to (i) the reconciling items above, which impact our reported income (loss) from continuing operations before provision (benefit) for income taxes but have an insignificant impact on our reported provision (benefit) for income taxes and (ii) other discrete tax items. Our structural tax rate for purposes of the calculation of Adjusted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 was 16.8% and 18.6%, respectively.
(2) Columns may not foot due to rounding.
FFO (Nareit) and FFO (Normalized)
Funds from operations (“FFO”) is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") and us as net income (loss) excluding depreciation on real estate assets, gains on sale of real estate, net of tax and amortization of data center leased-based intangibles ("FFO (Nareit)"). FFO (Nareit) does not give effect to real estate depreciation because these amounts are computed, under GAAP, to allocate the cost of a property over its useful life. Because values for well-maintained real estate assets have historically increased or decreased based upon prevailing market conditions, we believe that FFO (Nareit) provides investors with a clearer view of our operating performance. Our most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO (Nareit) is net income (loss). Although Nareit has published a definition of FFO, modifications to FFO (Nareit) are common among REITs as companies seek to provide financial measures that most meaningfully reflect their particular business. Our definition of FFO (Normalized) excludes certain items included in FFO (Nareit) that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results, specifically: (1) (gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment (excluding real estate), net; (2) intangible impairments; (3) other expense (income), net (which includes foreign currency transaction (gains) losses, net, and debt extinguishment expense); (4) real estate financing lease depreciation; (5) Significant Acquisition Costs; (6) Restructuring Charges; (7) COVID-19 Costs; (8) the tax impact of reconciling items and discrete tax items; (9) (income) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax; and (10) (gain) loss on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and for the period then ended. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the estimates used. We base our estimates on historical experience, actuarial estimates, current conditions and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Our critical accounting policies include the following, which are listed in no particular order:
•Revenue Recognition
•Accounting for Acquisitions
•Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets
•Income Taxes
Further detail regarding our critical accounting policies can be found in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report, and the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes included therein and should be read in conjunction with the disclosure below which addresses updates in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets
Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets not subject to amortization: Our reporting units as of December 31, 2019 are described in detail in Note 2.h. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report. The goodwill associated with acquisitions completed during the first nine months of 2020 (which are described in Note 4 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report) has been incorporated into our reporting units as they existed as of December 31, 2019.
During the first quarter of 2020, we concluded that we had a triggering event related to our Fine Arts reporting unit, requiring us to perform an interim goodwill impairment test. The primary factor contributing to our conclusion was the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to this particular business and its customers and revenue sources, which caused us to believe it was more likely than not that the carrying value of our Fine Arts reporting unit exceeded its fair value. During the first quarter of 2020, we performed an interim goodwill impairment test for our Fine Arts reporting unit utilizing a discounted cash flow model, with updated assumptions on future revenues, operating expenditures and capital expenditures. We concluded that the fair value of the Fine Arts reporting unit was less than its carrying value, primarily due to near-term revenue declines that are unable to be fully mitigated by the cost reduction measures we have taken. Therefore, we recorded a $23.0 million impairment charge on the goodwill associated with this reporting unit during the first quarter of 2020. As disclosed in our Annual Report, our Global Data Center reporting unit had an estimated fair value that exceeded its carrying value by less than 20%. At March 31, 2020, we determined we did not have a triggering event requiring an interim impairment test on the goodwill associated with our Global Data Center reporting unit. During the second and third quarters of 2020, for each of our reporting units, no factors were identified that would alter our interim goodwill impairment analysis performed during the first quarter of 2020, or change the conclusions reached at that time.

Table of Contents
Reporting unit valuations have generally been determined using a combined approach based on the present value of future cash flows (the “Discounted Cash Flow Model”) and market multiples. There are inherent uncertainties and judgments involved when determining the fair value of our reporting units for purposes of our annual impairment testing or upon a triggering event. The success of each of these businesses and the achievement of certain key assumptions developed by management and used in the Discounted Cash Flow Model are contingent upon various factors, which may be impacted by the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Such factors include, but are not limited to: (i) our ability to maintain, or grow, storage rental and service revenues in line with current expectations and (ii) our ability to manage our fixed and variable costs in line with potential future revenue declines. These factors are incremental to those previously outlined in our Annual Report, which included, but were not limited to: (i) achieving growth from existing customers, (ii) sales to new customers, (iii) increased market penetration and (iv) accurately timing the capital investments related to expansions. In addition, the discount rates utilized in our valuation models could be impacted by changes in the underlying interest rates and risk premiums which could also result in future goodwill impairments. However, the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the related economic impact on both our business and the businesses of our customers, remain uncertain as of the filing of this Quarterly Report. As such, the current assumptions we used in determining the fair values of our reporting units may materially change as we gain additional visibility into the impact to our business and our customers’ businesses. If our reporting units are not able to meet the assumptions we used in the Discounted Cash Flow Model, or there are any future adverse market conditions that are not currently known or are more severe than we currently expect, including relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, it could potentially lead to a fair value that is less than the carrying value in any one of our reporting units and cause future goodwill impairments.

________________________________________________________________
(1)Constant currency growth rates, which are a non-GAAP measure, are calculated by translating the 2019 results at the 2020 average exchange rates.
(2)Our organic revenue growth rate, which is a non-GAAP measure, represents the year-over-year growth rate of our revenues excluding the impact of business acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. Our organic revenue growth rate includes the impact of acquisitions of customer relationships.
Total Revenues
For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the decrease in reported consolidated revenue was driven by declines in reported service revenue, partially offset by reported storage rental revenue growth. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations decreased our reported consolidated revenue growth rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 by 1.5% compared to the prior year period. We expect low single digit total consolidated revenue declines for the full year 2020.
Storage Rental Revenues
Primary factors influencing the change in reported consolidated storage rental revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 include the following:
•organic storage rental revenue growth driven by volume growth in faster growing markets and revenue management;
•a 2.1% increase in global records management net volume due to acquisitions (excluding acquisitions, global records management net volume decreased 1.2%); and
•a decrease of $30.9 million due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Service Revenues
Primary factors influencing the change in reported consolidated service revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 include the following:
•a decrease in service activity as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in the second quarter and, to a lesser extent, the third quarter of 2020, particularly in regions where governments have imposed restrictions on non-essential business operations;
•organic service revenue declines reflecting lower service activity levels; and
•a decrease of $18.0 million due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
The severity of future service level declines is uncertain and is dependent on the duration and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting governmental and business actions and the duration and strength of any ensuing economic recovery that may follow, specifically within the markets in which we operate and among our customers.

Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation expense decreased by $1.7 million, or 0.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior year period. See Note 2.f. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report for additional information regarding the useful lives over which our property, plant and equipment is depreciated.
Amortization expense increased by $1.0 million, or 0.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the prior year period.
Restructuring Charges
Restructuring Charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were approximately $128.7 million and primarily consist of employee severance costs, internal costs associated with the development and implementation of Project Summit initiatives and professional fees.
Intangible impairments
The intangible impairment charge for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $23.0 million and related to the write-down of goodwill associated with our Fine Arts reporting unit in the first quarter of 2020, as discussed above.
Gain on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net
Consolidated gain on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 was approximately $75.8 million and $78.2 million, respectively. These amounts primarily consisted of gains of approximately $76.4 million associated with the sale-leaseback transactions of two facilities during the third quarter of 2020.
Consolidated gain on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $9.3 million and $17.1 million, respectively. These amounts consisted of (i) a gain of approximately $36.0 million associated with the sale of certain land and buildings during the second quarter of 2019 and (ii) a gain of approximately $9.8 million associated with a sale-leaseback transaction of five facilities during the third quarter of 2019, and were partially offset by losses incurred during the second quarter of 2019 primarily associated with an impairment charge on the assets associated with the select offerings within our Iron Mountain Iron Cloud portfolio of approximately $24.8 million.
OTHER EXPENSES, NET
Interest Expense, Net
Consolidated interest expense, net decreased by $1.0 million, to $313.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020 from $314.4 million in the prior year period. This decrease was mainly driven by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding debt, partially offset by higher average debt outstanding during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. See Note 5 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding our indebtedness.

Foreign currency transaction losses (gains), net
We recorded net foreign currency transaction gains of $6.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2020, based on period-end exchange rates. These gains resulted primarily from the impact of changes in the exchange rate of the British pound sterling against the United States dollar compared to December 31, 2019 on our intercompany balances with and between certain of our subsidiaries.
We recorded net foreign currency transaction gains of $19.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, based on period-end exchange rates. These gains resulted primarily from the impact of changes in the exchange rate of the British pound sterling against the United States dollar compared to December 31, 2018 on our intercompany balances with and between certain of our subsidiaries.
Debt extinguishment expense
Debt extinguishment expense represents the call premiums and write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the early redemption of the 6% Notes due 2023, the 4 3/8% Notes, the 5 3/4% Notes, the CAD Notes, the Euro Notes and the 5 3/8% Notes (as defined below).
Other, net
Included in Other, net are losses on certain of our equity method investments, which are partially offset by a gain of approximately $10.0 million recorded during the first quarter of 2020 in connection with our acquisition of the remaining 75% equity interest in OSG Records Management (Europe) Limited ("OSG" and such acquisition, the "OSG Acquisition"), as our previously held 25% equity investment in OSG was remeasured to fair value at the closing date of the OSG Acquisition.
Provision for Income Taxes
We provide for income taxes during interim periods based on our estimate of the effective tax rate for the year.
Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are as follows:

| Three Months Ended September 30, |  | Nine Months Ended September 30,
| 2020 |  | 2019 |  | 2020 |  | 2019
Effective Tax Rate(1) | 26.5 | % |  | 16.8 | % |  | 25.7 | % |  | 15.7 | %

_______________________________________________________________
(1)The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% and our overall effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 were the benefit derived from the dividends paid deduction and the impact of differences in the tax rates at which our foreign earnings are subject, including foreign exchange gains and losses in different jurisdictions with different tax rates. In addition, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the costs associated with Project Summit are more heavily weighted to our United States qualified REIT subsidiaries, and, therefore, provide no tax benefit.

Project Summit
As disclosed above, in October 2019, we announced Project Summit. We estimate that the implementation of Project Summit will result in total costs of $450.0 million.

The 5% Notes, the 5 1/4% Notes due 2030 and the 5 5/8% Notes were issued at 100.000% of par. The total net proceeds of approximately $2,376.0 million from the June 2020 Offerings, after deducting the initial purchasers' commissions, were used to redeem all of the 4 3/8% Senior Notes due 2021 ("the 4 3/8% Notes"), the 6% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "6% Notes due 2023") and the 5 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2024 (the "5 3/4% Notes") and to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Program
On March 31, 2020, we amended the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program to (i) increase the maximum amount available from $275.0 million to $300.0 million and (ii) extend the maturity date from July 30, 2020 to July 30, 2021, at which point all obligations become due. The full amount outstanding under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program is classified within the current portion of long-term debt in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2020.
Letters of Credit
As of September 30, 2020, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $34.8 million, of which $3.2 million reduce our borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. The letters of credit expire at various dates between October 2020 and January 2033.
Debt Covenants
The Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 5 to Notes of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report), our bond indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness contain certain restrictive financial and operating covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to complete acquisitions, pay cash dividends, incur indebtedness, make investments, sell assets and take certain other corporate actions. The covenants do not contain a rating trigger. Therefore, a change in our debt rating would not trigger a default under the Credit Agreement, our bond indentures or other agreements governing our indebtedness. The Credit Agreement requires that we satisfy a fixed charge coverage ratio, a net total lease adjusted leverage ratio and a net secured debt lease adjusted leverage ratio on a quarterly basis and our bond indentures require that, among other things, we satisfy a leverage ratio (not lease adjusted) or a fixed charge coverage ratio (not lease adjusted), as a condition to taking actions such as paying dividends and incurring indebtedness.
The Credit Agreement uses EBITDAR-based calculations and the bond indentures use EBITDA-based calculations as the primary measures of financial performance for purposes of calculating leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The bond indenture EBITDA-based calculations include our consolidated subsidiaries, other than those we have designated as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries” as defined in the bond indentures. Generally, the Credit Agreement and the bond indentures use a trailing four fiscal quarter basis for purposes of the relevant calculations and require certain adjustments and exclusions for purposes of those calculations which make the calculation of financial performance for purposes of those calculations under the Credit Agreement and bond indentures not directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein. These adjustments can be significant. For example, the calculation of financial performance under the Credit Agreement and the 4 7/8% Notes due 2029 includes (subject to specified exceptions and caps) adjustments for non-cash charges and for expected benefits associated with (i) completed acquisitions, (ii) certain executed lease agreements associated with our data center business that have yet to commence, and (iii) restructuring and other strategic initiatives, such as Project Summit. The calculation of financial performance under our other bond indentures includes, for example, adjustments for non-cash charges and for expected benefits associated with (i) completed acquisitions, and (ii) to exclude the effects of events that are extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios under the Credit Agreement and our indentures as of September 30, 2020 are as follows:

| September 30, 2020 |  |  |  | Maximum/Minimum Allowable
Net total lease adjusted leverage ratio | 5.3 |  |  |  |  | Maximum allowable of 6.5
Net secured debt lease adjusted leverage ratio | 2.0 |  |  |  |  | Maximum allowable of 4.0
Fixed charge coverage ratio | 2.4 |  |  |  |  | Minimum allowable of 1.5
Bond leverage ratio (not lease adjusted) | 5.9 |  |  |  |  | Maximum allowable of 7.0(1)
Bond fixed charge coverage ratio (not lease adjusted) | 3.3 |  |  |  |  | Minimum allowable of 2.0(1)

______________________________________________________________
(1)The maximum leverage ratio permitted under our indentures for the GBP Notes, the 4 7/8% Notes due 2027, the 5 1/4% Notes due 2028 and the 4 7/8% Notes due 2029 is 7.0. As of September 30, 2020, we no longer have any indentures subject to a maximum leverage ratio of 6.5. The indentures for the 5% Notes, the 5 1/4% Notes due 2030, the 4 1/2% Notes and the 5 5/8% Notes do not include a maximum leverage ratio covenant; the indentures for these notes instead require us to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 2.0. In certain instances as provided in our indentures, we have the ability to incur additional indebtedness that would result in our bond leverage ratio or bond fixed charge coverage ratio exceeding or falling below the maximum or minimum permitted ratio under our indentures and still remain in compliance with the applicable covenant.
Noncompliance with these leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Our ability to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance, working capital levels and capital structure, which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors which may be beyond our control. There can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient cash flow from our operations or that future financings will be available on acceptable terms or in amounts sufficient to enable us to service or refinance our indebtedness or to make necessary capital expenditures.
Derivative Instruments
a. Interest Rate Swap Agreements
In July 2019, we entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness once our current interest rate swap agreements expire in March 2022. The forward-starting interest rate swap agreements have $350.0 million in notional value, commence in March 2022 and expire in March 2024. Under the swap agreements we will receive variable rate interest payments based upon one-month LIBOR, in exchange for the payment of fixed interest rates as specified in the interest rate swap agreements. We have designated these interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges.
b. Cross-Currency Swap Agreements
We enter into cross-currency swap agreements to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the United States dollar and the Euro. The cross-currency swap agreements are designated as a hedge of net investment against certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries and require an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity.
In September 2020, we entered into cross-currency swap agreements whereby we notionally exchanged approximately $359.2 million at an interest rate of 4.5% for approximately 300.0 million Euros at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.4%. These cross-currency swap agreements expire in February 2026.
In August 2019, we entered into cross-currency swap agreements whereby we notionally exchanged approximately $110.0 million at an interest rate of 6.0% for approximately 99.1 million Euros at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.65%. These cross-currency swap agreements expire in August 2023.

Equity Financing
In 2017, we entered into a distribution agreement pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $500.0 million of our common stock through the agents under the agreement (the “At The Market (ATM) Equity Program”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, there were no shares of common stock sold under the At The Market (ATM) Equity Program. As of September 30, 2020, the remaining aggregate sale price of shares of our common stock available for distribution under the At The Market (ATM) Equity Program was approximately $431.2 million.
Acquisitions and Joint Ventures
See Note 4 and Note 11 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for information regarding our 2020 acquisitions and joint ventures.
a. OSG Acquisition
On January 9, 2020, we completed the OSG Acquisition for cash consideration of approximately $95.5 million. The OSG Acquisition enabled us to extend our Global RIM Business in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Armenia. The results of OSG are fully consolidated within our condensed consolidated financial statements from the closing date of the OSG Acquisition.
b. Glenbeigh Acquisition
On February 17, 2020, in order to enhance our existing operations in the United Arab Emirates, we acquired Glenbeigh Records Management DWC-LLC, a storage and records management company, for total cash consideration of approximately $29.1 million.
c. MakeSpace Capital Contribution
During 2019, we formed a joint venture entity with MakeSpace Labs, Inc. (the "MakeSpace JV"). In the second quarter of 2020, we committed to participate in a round of equity funding for the MakeSpace JV whereby we agreed to contribute $36.0 million of the $45.0 million being raised in installments beginning in May 2020 through October 2021. Our equity interest in the MakeSpace JV at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was 37% and 34%, respectively, and the carrying value of our investment in the MakeSpace JV at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was approximately $15.8 million and $18.6 million, respectively.
d. Frankfurt Joint Venture
On October 1, 2020, we formed a joint venture (the “Frankfurt JV Transaction”) with AGC Equity Partners (“AGC”) to design and develop a 280,000 square foot, 27 megawatt, hyperscale data center currently under development in Frankfurt, Germany (the “Frankfurt JV”). AGC acquired an 80% equity interest in the Frankfurt JV, while we retained a 20% equity interest (the “Frankfurt JV Investment”). The total cash consideration for the 80% equity interest sold to AGC was approximately $100.0 million. The substantial majority of the consideration was received upon the closing of the Frankfurt JV, and we are entitled to receive an additional approximately $10.0 million upon the completion of development of the data center, which we expect to occur in the second quarter of 2021. In connection with the Frankfurt JV Transaction, we also entered into agreements whereby we will earn various fees, including property management and construction and development fees, for services we are providing to the Frankfurt JV.
The assets included in the Frankfurt JV Transaction have a carrying value of approximately $100.0 million at September 30, 2020, and are primarily land and land development assets which are included within our Global Data Center Business segment. The assets are classified as held for sale and are included within Other, a component of Other assets, net in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2020.
During the fourth quarter of 2020, we expect to recognize a gain of approximately $25.0 million associated with the Frankfurt JV Transaction, representing the excess of the fair value of the consideration received over the carrying value of the assets. The gain remains subject to customary closing adjustments.

Contractual Obligations
We expect to meet our cash flow requirements for the next twelve months by utilizing cash on hand, cash generated from operations, borrowings under the Credit Agreement and other financings (including the issuance of equity under the At The Market (ATM) Equity Program). We expect to meet our long-term cash flow requirements using the same resources described above.
Inflation
Certain of our expenses, such as wages and benefits, insurance, occupancy costs and equipment repair and replacement, are subject to normal inflationary pressures. Although to date we have been able to offset inflationary cost increases with increased operating efficiencies, the negotiation of favorable long-term real estate leases and an ability to increase prices in our customer contracts (many of which contain provisions for inflationary price escalators), we can give no assurance that we will be able to offset any future inflationary cost increases through similar efficiencies, leases or increased storage rental or service charges.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The term "disclosure controls and procedures" is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These rules refer to the controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information is recorded, processed, accumulated, summarized, communicated and reported to management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding what is required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act. As of September 30, 2020 (the "Evaluation Date"), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In March 2020, many of our employees began working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We have not implemented any material changes in our internal control over financial reporting due to the changes in the way we are working. We are monitoring and assessing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic to determine any potential impacts on the design and operating effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting.
