Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTSCash 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. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.
Accounts Receivable | ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts and a credit memo reserve for estimated losses resulting from the potential inability of our customers to make required payments and potential disputes regarding billing and service issues.
Leases | LEASES We lease facilities for certain warehouses, data centers and office space. We also have land leases, including those on which certain facilities are located.
Revenues | REVENUESThe costs associated with the initial movement of customer records into physical storage and certain commissions are considered costs to obtain or fulfill customer contracts (collectively, "Contract Fulfillment Costs").DATA CENTER LESSOR CONSIDERATIONSOur Global Data Center Business features storage rental provided to customers at contractually specified rates over a fixed contractual period, which are accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, Leases.
Acquisition and Integration Costs | ACQUISITION AND INTEGRATION COSTSAcquisition and integration costs represent operating expenditures directly associated with the closing and integration activities of our business acquisitions that have closed, or are highly probable of closing, and include (i) advisory, legal and professional fees to complete business acquisitions and (ii) costs to integrate acquired businesses into our existing operations, including move, severance and system integration costs (collectively, "Acquisition and Integration Costs").
Income Taxes | INCOME TAXESWe provide for income taxes during interim periods based on our estimate of the effective tax rate for the year.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTSIn December 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2021-08"). ASU 2021-08 requires that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and for the related revenue contracts in accordance with ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), as if it had originated the contracts. We adopted ASU 2021-08 on January 1, 2023 on a prospective basis, and there was no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Commitments and Contingencies | We are involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business, including litigation arising from damage to customer assets in our facilities caused by fires and other natural disasters. While the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, we do not believe any current litigation will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
