DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2015 Results

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. (NYSE: DFT) is reporting results for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. All per share results are reported on a fully diluted basis.

Highlights

As of October 29, 2015, our operating portfolio was 97% leased and 93% commenced as measured by computer room square feet ("CRSF") and 95% leased and 91% commenced as measured by critical load (in megawatts, or "MW").
Quarterly Highlights:
- Placed CH2 Phase I into service totaling 7.40 MW and 45,000 CRSF, now 100% leased.
- Commenced two leases totaling 2.56 MW and 14,386 CRSF.
- Increased capacity under the line of credit from $560 million to $700 million.
Subsequent to the third quarter 2015:
- Leased 26.53 MW and 162,496 CRSF consisting of:
  - The entire 10.40 MW and 53,397 CRSF of our ACC2 facility.
  - The space formerly occupied by our bankrupt customer. This is comprised of four leases totaling 4.13 MW and 38,852 CRSF.
  - Three additional leases totaling 12.00 MW and 70,247 CRSF, resulting in ACC7 Phase I and CH2 Phase I being 100% leased and commenced.
Extended one lease totaling 1.49 MW and 8,461 CRSF.

Christopher Eldredge, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Evidence of customer demand for DFT's data centers is strong. Our leasing activity is on track for the best year in the company's history. We have fully leased the first phases of our new developments in Ashburn, VA and Chicago at a 13% GAAP return-on-investment, exceeding our target yield by 100 basis points. We re-leased 10.4 MW of space in ACC2 within 30 days of its vacancy. This momentum, coupled with our full sales pipeline, gives us confidence in the prospects for the 39 MW of new data center capacity we have under development."

Third Quarter 2015 Results

For the quarter ended September 30, 2015, earnings were $0.29 per share, equal to earnings per share in the third quarter of 2014. Revenues increased 9%, or $9.8 million, to $115.3 million for the third quarter of 2015 over the third quarter of 2014. The increase in revenues was primarily due to new leases commencing, partially offset by the impact of our customer in bankruptcy.

Normalized FFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $0.62 per share compared to $0.60 per share for the third quarter of 2014. Normalized FFO per share adds back the $0.01 per share recognized in the third quarter of 2015 for severance and equity accelerations and the $0.02 per share of loss on early extinguishment of debt in the third quarter of 2014. Normalized FFO increased $0.02 per share, or 3%, from the prior year quarter primarily due to the following:

Increased operating income excluding depreciation of $0.08 per share which excludes the negative impact from the bankrupt customer, partially offset by
Revenue of $0.03 per share not recognized from the bankrupt customer and
Increased interest expense of $0.03 per share due to a higher level of outstanding debt related to development financing.

Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") for the quarter ended September 30, 2015 was $0.68 per share compared to $0.64 per share in the third quarter of 2014. AFFO increased $0.04 per share, or 6% from the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the following:

Increased Normalized FFO of $0.02 per share and
Increased add-back of straight-line revenue as a result of $0.02 per share of rent received from the bankrupt customer being applied to their straight-line receivable balance.

On October 20, 2015, Anexio Data Centers ("Anexio") purchased Net Data Centers' ("Net") east coast business for $4.5 million in cash and other consideration. The operations of this business are located in four of our data center facilities: ACC4 and ACC5 in Ashburn, Virginia; VA3 in Reston, Virginia and NJ1 in Piscataway, New Jersey. In connection with this purchase, Anexio has entered into new leases with us at each of these locations.

On February 23, 2015, Net filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Central District of California, Los Angeles Division (the "Court"), Case No. 2:15-bk-12690-BB. At that time, Net leased and occupied space at our ACC4, ACC5, VA3 and NJ1 data center facilities. Specifically, Net leased 6.26 MW and 38,852 CRSF in the aggregate from us. The Net leases were rejected as of June 30, 2015, with Net remaining in possession pursuant to a revenue sharing arrangement with us. As of October 29, 2015, Net has paid us $3.6 million under this revenue sharing agreement. This agreement was terminated upon the sale of Net's east coast business.

Anexio has leased 4.13 MW and 38,852 CRSF in the aggregate from us, which results in our having an additional 2.13 MW available for lease, which is comprised of 0.93 MW in ACC4, 0.07 MW in ACC5 and 1.13 MW in NJ1. The term of each lease commenced on October 20, 2015 and runs through December 31, 2023. The rent of the new leases compared to the rejected Net leases results in a 33.9% reduction in cash base rent and an 18.1% reduction in GAAP base rent.

We also have a $6.5 million note receivable from Net, of which $5.1 million is reserved and represents 79% of the outstanding note balance. We will continue to monitor this reserve each quarter.

First Nine Months 2015 Results

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, earnings were $0.82 per share compared to $0.91 per share for the first nine months of 2014. The first nine months of 2015 were negatively impacted by the customer who filed for bankruptcy, resulting in $0.10 per share of revenue not being recognized and $0.03 of non-cash write-offs when this customer rejected its leases. Also, we recognized charges of $0.08 per share for severance expense and equity accelerations. Excluding these items, earnings per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 increased $0.12 per share, or 13%. Revenues increased 9%, or $26.9 million, to $336.5 million for the first nine months of 2015 compared to the first nine months of 2014. The increase in revenues was primarily due to new leases commencing, an increase in a la carte revenue and an increase in recoveries from tenants due to higher real estate taxes, partially offset by impact of the customer in bankruptcy noted above.

Normalized FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $1.85 per share compared to $1.80 per share for the first nine months of 2014. Normalized FFO adds back the $0.08 per share recognized in the first nine months of 2015 for the severance expense and equity accelerations noted above and the $0.02 per share loss on early extinguishment debt for the first nine months of 2014. Normalized FFO increased $0.05 per share, or 3%, from the prior year period primarily due to the following:

Increased operating income excluding depreciation of $0.22 per share which excludes the negative impact from the bankrupt customer, partially offset by
Revenue of $0.10 per share not recognized from bankrupt customer,
Write-off of $0.02 per share of straight-line receivables and intangible assets related to the bankrupt customer, and
Increased interest expense of $0.05 per share due to a higher level of outstanding debt related to development financing.

AFFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $2.03 per share compared to $1.88 per share in the first nine months of 2014. AFFO increased $0.15 per share, or 8% from the prior year. The increase was primarily due to the following:

Increased Normalized FFO of $0.05 per share,
Increased add-back of straight-line revenue as a result of rent received from bankrupt customer not recognized as revenue and increased cash rents totaling $0.09 per share,
Add-back of non-cash write-offs of straight-line receivables and intangible assets of $0.02 per share, partially offset by
Lower stock compensation expense add-back of $0.01 per share.

Portfolio Update

During the third quarter 2015, we:

Commenced two leases totaling 2.56 MW and 14,386 CRSF. One of these leases was at CH2 Phase I for 1.42 MW and 8,886 CRSF and the other was at ACC5 for 1.14 MW and 5,500 CRSF.
Extended one lease at ACC5 totaling 0.57 MW and 2,700 CRSF. This lease was scheduled to expire in 2016 and was extended by 5.0 years to now expire in 2021. Compared to the rate in effect at the time of renewal, cash base rent will be 3.0% higher upon the expiration of the original lease term. GAAP base rent will be 24.2% higher immediately.

Subsequent to the third quarter, we:

Signed eight leases with a weighted average lease term of 6.1 years totaling 26.53 MW and 162,496 CRSF.
- Two of these leases were with one customer at ACC7 totaling 6.00 MW and 34,409 CRSF. One of the leases was in Phase I (3.00 MW) which commenced in October 2015 and one pre-lease is in Phase II (3.00 MW) which is projected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2015 upon the opening of Phase II. ACC7 Phase I is now 100% leased with these leases and ACC7 Phase II is 67% pre-leased.
- One lease was at CH2 Phase I totaling 6.00 MW and 35,838 CRSF. This lease commenced in October 2015. CH2 Phase I is now 100% leased with this lease.
- One lease was for the entire 10.4 MW and 53,397 CRSF at ACC2, the space recently vacated by Yahoo!. This lease is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2016. Compared to the lease rates in effect at the expiration of Yahoo's! lease, cash base rents for the new lease will be 41.4% lower and GAAP base rents will be 12.6% lower. Total rents including operating expense recovery will be 31.4% lower for cash and 9.6% lower for GAAP. We believe that this magnitude of decline is specific to the ACC2 data center facility and will not be applicable to the remaining portfolio. ACC2 is the Company's smallest data center facility and, primarily for that reason, has the highest cost of operations and cooling. Although base rent had to be decreased to make ACC2 market-competitive, on a total cost of occupancy basis - the total of base rent, operating costs and cooling - ACC2's new customer will pay as much at ACC2 as a super wholesale customer would pay at ACC7.
- Four leases were with the purchaser of Net Data Centers, Anexio, at ACC4, ACC5, NJ1 and VA3, totaling 4.13 MW and 38,852 CRSF in the aggregate, as described above.
Extended one lease at ACC7 Phase I totaling 1.49 MW and 8,461 CRSF. This lease was scheduled to expire in 2017 and was extended 4.2 years to now expire in 2021. Compared to the rate in effect at the time of renewal, cash base rent will be 10.0% lower upon the expiration of the original lease term. GAAP base rent will be 2.1% lower immediately.

Year to date, we:

Signed 15 leases with a weighted average lease term of 6.5 years totaling 40.99 MW and 239,096 CRSF that are expected to generate approximately $49.4 million of annualized GAAP base rent revenue which is equivalent to a GAAP rate of $101 per kW per month.
Commenced 15 leases totaling 31.44 MW and 182,523 CRSF.
Extended the maturity of seven leases totaling 12.24 MW and 69,081 CRSF by a weighted average of 3.0 years. Compared to the rates in effect when the extension was executed, cash base rents will be an average of 5.4% higher upon the expiration of the original lease terms. GAAP base rents will be an average of 4.5% higher immediately. The average GAAP rate related to these extensions was $110 per kW per month.

Development Update

We are currently developing ACC7 Phase II (8.9 MW), ACC7 Phase III (11.9 MW), CH2 Phase II (5.7 MW) and CH2 Phase III (12.5 MW). We anticipate that ACC7 Phase II, which is 67% pre-leased, will be placed into service in the fourth quarter of 2015, ACC7 Phase III and CH2 Phase II will be placed into service in the second quarter of 2016, and that CH2 Phase III will be placed into service the third quarter of 2016.

In the third quarter, we purchased a parcel of land totaling 9.7 acres adjacent to our CH1 data center for $8.6 million. This land is being held for the future development of CH3.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

We increased the capacity of our line of credit from $560 million to $700 million in July 2015. No other terms of the line of credit changed. All $700 million is available as of October 29, 2015.

The Board approved a common stock repurchase program of $120 million for 2015, of which we purchased $31.9 million in the first quarter of 2015 at an average price of $31.80. No shares were purchased in the second or third quarter of 2015. There is $88.1 million remaining under this program for the remainder of 2015.

Dividend

Our third quarter 2015 dividend of $0.42 per share was paid on October 15, 2015 to shareholders of record as of October 2, 2015. The anticipated 2015 annualized dividend of $1.68 per share represents an estimated AFFO payout ratio of 63% at the midpoint of our current 2015 guidance.

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2015 Guidance

We are increasing the mid-point of our 2015 Normalized FFO guidance range by $0.03 per share. The new range is $2.45 to $2.47 per share compared to last quarter's range of $2.38 to $2.48 per share. The increase in the mid-point is due to the following:

$0.01 per share from positive leasing results and
$0.02 per share from lower interest expense primarily due to increased capitalized interest.

Our Normalized FFO guidance range is $0.60 to $0.62 per share for the fourth quarter of 2015. The mid-point of this range is $0.01 lower than Normalized FFO per share in the third quarter of 2015. This is due to the following:

$0.05 per share of decreased revenue from Yahoo! vacating ACC2 and the new lease at ACC2 not commencing until the first quarter of 2016, partially offset by
$0.03 per share of increased operating income excluding depreciation from new lease commencements including the re-lease of the Net Data Centers space, partially offset by increased sales and marketing expenses, and
$0.01 per share from lower interest expense primarily due to increased capitalized interest.

We increased the mid-point of our 2015 AFFO guidance range by $0.04 per share. The new range is $2.63 to $2.67 per share compared to last quarter's range of $2.56 to $2.66 per share. This is primarily due to increased Normalized FFO.

Our AFFO guidance range is $0.60 to $0.64 per share for the fourth quarter of 2015. The mid-point of the range is $0.06 per share lower than third quarter 2015 AFFO per share. This is due to following:

Decrease in mid-point of Normalized FFO of $0.01 per share,
Decrease in the add-back of straight-line revenues of $0.03 per share, and
Increase in capitalized leasing commissions of $0.02 per share due to the heavy volume of leases executed in October.

The assumptions underlying Normalized FFO and AFFO guidance can be found on the last page of this earnings release.

(1) Funds from operations, or FFO, is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental operating performance measure for REITs. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition that was adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP, impairment charges on depreciable real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus specified non-cash items, such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We also present FFO attributable to common shares and OP units, which is FFO excluding preferred stock dividends. FFO attributable to common shares and OP units per share is calculated on a basis consistent with net income attributable to common shares and OP units and reflects adjustments to net income for preferred stock dividends.

We use 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 period over period, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating expenses. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of equity REITs, FFO may be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes real estate related 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 effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited.

While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of equity REITs, other equity REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO and, accordingly, FFO as disclosed by such other REITs may not be comparable to our FFO. Therefore, we believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated statements of operations. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or to cash flow from operating activities (each as computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to meet our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions.

We present FFO with adjustments to arrive at Normalized FFO. Normalized FFO is FFO attributable to common shares and units excluding severance expense and equity accelerations, gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt and gain or loss on derivative instruments. We also present FFO with supplemental adjustments to arrive at Adjusted FFO ("AFFO"). AFFO is Normalized FFO excluding straight-line revenue, compensation paid with Company common shares, below market lease amortization and write-offs net of above market lease amortization and write-offs, non real estate depreciation and amortization, amortization of deferred financing costs, improvements to real estate and capitalized leasing commissions. AFFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operations as a measure of liquidity and is not necessarily indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to pay dividends. In addition, AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements employed by other companies. We use AFFO in management reports to provide a measure of REIT operating performance that can be compared to other companies using AFFO.

(1)	Stabilized operating properties are either 85% or more leased and commenced or have been in service for 24 months or greater.
(2)	Gross building area is the entire building area, including CRSF (the portion of gross building area where our customers' computer servers are located), common areas, areas controlled by us (such as the mechanical, telecommunications and utility rooms) and, in some facilities, individual office and storage space leased on an as available basis to our customers.
(3)	Percentage leased is expressed as a percentage of CRSF or critical load, as applicable, that is subject to an executed lease. Leases executed as of October 1, 2015 represent $297 million of base rent on a GAAP basis and $310 million of base rent on a cash basis over the next twelve months. Both amounts include $18 million of revenue from management fees over the next twelve months.
(4)	Percentage commenced is expressed as a percentage of CRSF or critical load, as applicable, where the lease has commenced under generally accepted accounting principles.
(5)	Critical load (also referred to as IT load or load used by customers' servers or related equipment) is the power available for exclusive use by customers expressed in terms of megawatt, or MW, or kilowatt, or kW (1 MW is equal to 1,000 kW).
(6)	As of October 29, 2015, ACC2 was 100% leased on a critical load and CRSF basis.
(7)	In October 2015, new leases were executed with the purchaser of Net Data Centers' operations at our ACC4, ACC5, NJ1 Phase I and VA3 facilities. The new leases at ACC4, ACC5 and NJ1 Phase I are for the same amount of CRSF as the Net Data Centers leases, but are for a reduced amount of critical load. Giving effect to these decreases, ACC4, ACC5 and NJ1 Phase I were 97%, 96% and 52% leased and commenced on a critical load basis, respectively as of October 29, 2015. VA3 remains 95% leased and commenced on a critical load basis.
(8)	As of October 29, 2015, ACC7 Phase I was 100% leased and commenced on a critical load and CRSF basis.
(9)	As of October 29, 2015, CH2 Phase I was 100% leased and commenced on a critical load and CRSF basis.

(1)

Net Operating Income ("NOI") represents total revenues less property operating costs, real estate taxes and insurance, and other expenses (each as reflected in the consolidated statements of operations) for the properties included in the analysis. Cash Net Operating Income ("Cash NOI") is NOI less straight-line revenues, net of reserve and amortization of lease contracts above and below market value for the properties included in the analysis.

We use NOI and Cash NOI as supplemental performance measures because, in excluding depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, each provides a performance measure that, when compared period over period, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating expenses. 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 effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of NOI and Cash NOI as a measure 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 the NOI and Cash NOI of other REITs. NOI and Cash NOI should not be considered as an alternative to operating income (as computed in accordance with GAAP).
