(1) Represents the purchase price or sale price, as applicable, before contractual adjustments, transaction expenses, taxes and potential currency fluctuations.
(2) We calculate the cash capitalization rate on acquisitions, dispositions and joint venture contributions by dividing anticipated annual net operating income by the purchase/sale/contribution price, including assumed debt and related pre-payment penalties. Net operating income represents rental revenue and tenant reimbursement revenue from in-place leases, less rental property operating and maintenance expenses, property taxes and insurance expenses, and is not a financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP. We caution you not to place undue reliance on our cash capitalization rates because they are based solely on data made available to us in the diligence process in connection with the relevant acquisitions and are calculated on a non-GAAP basis. Our calculation of the cash capitalization rate on acquisitions may change, based on our experience operating the data centers subsequent to closing of the acquisitions. In addition, the actual cash capitalization rates may differ from our expectations based on numerous other factors, including the results of our final purchase price allocation, difficulties collecting anticipated rental revenues, customer bankruptcies, property tax reassessments and unanticipated expenses at the data centers that we cannot pass on to customers.

Funds From Operations (FFO) :

We calculate funds from operations, or FFO, in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Nareit, in the Nareit Funds From Operations White Paper - 2018 Restatement. FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from real estate transactions, impairment of investment in real estate, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), unconsolidated JV real estate related depreciation & amortization, non-controlling interests in operating partnership and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our data centers that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and capitalized leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our data centers, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our financial condition and results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ FFO. FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.

Core Funds from Operations (Core FFO) :

We present core funds from operations, or core FFO, as a supplemental operating measure because, in excluding certain items that do not reflect core revenue or expense streams, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in our core business operating performance. We calculate core FFO by adding to or subtracting from FFO (i) other non-core revenue adjustments, (ii) transaction and integration expenses, (iii) loss from early extinguishment of debt, (iv) gain on / issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred stock, (v) severance, equity acceleration, and legal expenses, (vi) gain/loss on FX revaluation, and (vii) other non-core expense adjustments. Because certain of these adjustments have a real economic impact on our financial condition and results from operations, the utility of core FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may calculate core FFO differently than we do and accordingly, our core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ core FFO. Core FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.

Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) :

We present adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, as a supplemental operating measure because, when compared year over year, it assesses our ability to fund dividend and distribution requirements from our operating activities. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the operations of REITs, AFFO will be used by investors as a basis to assess our ability to fund dividend payments in comparison to other REITs, including on a per share and unit basis. We calculate AFFO by adding to or subtracting from core FFO (i) non-real estate depreciation, (ii) amortization of deferred financing costs, (iii) amortization of debt discount/premium, (iv) non-cash stock-based compensation expense, (v) straight-line rental revenue, (vi) straight-line rental expense, (vii) above- and below-market rent amortization, (viii) deferred tax (expense) benefit, (ix) leasing compensation and internal lease commissions, and (x) recurring capital expenditures. Other REITs may calculate AFFO differently than we do and, accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ AFFO. AFFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA :

We believe that earnings before interest, loss from early extinguishment of debt, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below), are useful supplemental performance measures because they allow investors to view our performance without the impact of non-cash depreciation and amortization or the cost of debt and, with respect to Adjusted EBITDA, unconsolidated joint venture real estate related depreciation & amortization, unconsolidated joint venture interest expense and tax, severance, equity acceleration, and legal expenses, transaction and integration expenses, gain on sale / deconsolidation, impairment of investments in real estate, other non-core adjustments, net, non-controlling interests, preferred stock dividends, including undeclared dividends, and issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred stock. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA excluding unconsolidated joint venture real estate related depreciation & amortization, unconsolidated joint venture interest expense and tax, severance, equity acceleration, and legal expenses, transaction and integration expenses, gain on sale / deconsolidation, impairment of investments in real estate, other non-core adjustments, net, non-controlling interests, preferred stock dividends, including undeclared dividends, and gain on / issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred stock. In addition, we believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated before recurring cash charges including interest expense and income taxes, exclude capitalized costs, such as leasing commissions, and are not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of our business, their utility as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do and, accordingly, our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other REITs’ EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered only as supplements to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our financial performance. 33

Net Operating Income (NOI) and Cash NOI**:**

Net operating income, or NOI, represents rental revenue, tenant reimbursement revenue and interconnection revenue less utilities expense, rental property operating expenses, property taxes and insurance expenses (as reflected in the statement of operations). NOI is commonly used by stockholders, company management and industry analysts as a measurement of operating performance of the company’s rental portfolio. Cash NOI is NOI less straight-line rents and above- and below-market rent amortization. Cash NOI is commonly used by stockholders, company management and industry analysts as a measure of property operating performance on a cash basis. However, because NOI and cash NOI exclude depreciation and amortization and capture neither the changes in the value of our data centers that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and capitalized leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our data centers, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of NOI and cash NOI as measures of our performance is limited. Other REITs may calculate NOI and cash NOI differently than we do and, accordingly, our NOI and cash NOI may not be comparable to other REITs’ NOI and cash NOI. NOI and cash NOI should be considered only as supplements to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as measures of our performance.

Additional Definitions

Net debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio is calculated using total debt at balance sheet carrying value, plus capital lease obligations, plus our share of unconsolidated JV debt, less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (including our share of unconsolidated JV cash) divided by the product of Adjusted EBITDA (inclusive of our share of unconsolidated JV EBITDA) multiplied by four.

Debt-plus-preferred-to-total enterprise value is mortgage debt and other loans plus preferred stock divided by mortgage debt and other loans plus the liquidation value of preferred stock and the market value of outstanding Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. units, assuming the redemption of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. units for shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock.

Fixed charge coverage ratio is Adjusted EBITDA divided by the sum of GAAP interest expense, capitalized interest, scheduled debt principal payments and preferred dividends. For the quarter ended December 31, 2021, GAAP interest expense was $72 million, capitalized interest was $15 million and scheduled debt principal payments and preferred dividends was $10 million.

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which are based on current expectations, forecasts and assumptions that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual outcomes and results to differ materially. Such forward-looking statements include statements relating to: our economic outlook, our expected investment and expansion activity, our expected physical settlement of the forward sale agreements and use of proceeds from any such settlement, our liquidity, our joint ventures, supply and demand for data center and colocation space, our acquisition and disposition activity, pricing and net effective leasing economics, market dynamics and data center fundamentals, our strategic priorities, our product offerings, available inventory rent from leases that have been signed but have not yet commenced and other contracted rent to be received in future periods, rental rates on future leases, lag between signing and commencement, cap rates and yields, investment activity, the company’s FFO, core FFO and net income, 2022 outlook and underlying assumptions, information related to trends, our strategy and plans, leasing expectations, weighted average lease terms, the exercise of lease extensions, lease expirations, debt maturities, annualized rent at expiration of leases, the effect new leases and increases in rental rates will have on our rental revenue, our credit ratings, construction and development activity and plans, projected construction costs, estimated yields on investment, expected occupancy, expected square footage and IT load capacity upon completion of development projects, 2022 backlog NOI, NAV components, and other forward-looking financial data. Such statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions made based on information currently available to management. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance and may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

The risks included here are not exhaustive, and additional factors could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Several additional material risks are discussed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and other filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Those risks continue to be relevant to our performance and financial condition. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Appendix<br>Management Statements on Non<br>-<br>GAAP Measures<br> <br>18<br>The information included in this presentation contains certain non<br>-<br>GAAP financial measures that management believes<br>are helpful in understanding<br>our business, as further described below. Our definition and<br>calculation of non<br>-<br>GAAP financial measures may differ from those of other REITs, and, therefore, may not be comparable. The non<br>-<br>GAAP financial measures should not be considered alternatives to net income or<br>any other GAAP measurement of performance and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing<br>or<br>financing activities as a measure of liquidity.<br>Funds From Operations (FFO):<br>We calculate funds from operations, or FFO, in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real<br>Est<br>ate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, in the NAREIT Funds From Operations White<br>Paper<br>-<br>2018 Restatement. FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from<br>real estate transactions, impairment of investment in real estate, real estate<br>related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), unconsolidated JV real estate rel<br>ate<br>d depreciation & amortization, non<br>-<br>controlling interests in operating partnership<br>and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance<br>mea<br>sure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization<br>and gains and losses from property dispositions and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, it<br>pro<br>vides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends<br>in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performanc<br>e o<br>f REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating<br>performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the c<br>han<br>ges in the value of our data centers that result from use or market conditions,<br>nor the level of capital expenditures and capitalized leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of<br>our<br>data centers, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact<br>our financial condition and results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other RE<br>ITs<br>may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our<br>FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ FFO. FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accord<br>anc<br>e with GAAP as a measure of our performance.<br>Core Funds from Operations (Core FFO)<br>:<br>We present core funds from operations, or core FFO, as a supplemental operating measure because, in excluding certain items t<br>hat<br>do not reflect core revenue or expense streams, it provides a performance<br>measure that, when compared<br>year over<br>year, captures trends in our core business operating performance. We calculate core FFO by<br>adding to or subtracting from FFO (i)<br>termination fees and other non<br>-<br>core<br>revenues, (ii)<br>transaction and integration expenses, (iii)<br>loss from early extinguishment of debt, (iv) gain on /<br>issuance costs<br>associated with redeemed preferred stock, (v)<br>severance, equity acceleration, and legal<br>expenses, (vi)<br>gain/loss on FX revaluation, and (vii)<br>other non<br>-<br>core expense adjustments. Because certain of these adjustments h<br>ave a real economic impact on our financial condition and results from operations,<br>the utility of core FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may calculate core FFO differently than we do<br>an<br>d accordingly, our core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ core FFO. Core<br>FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.<br>EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA<br>:<br>We believe that earnings before interest, loss from early extinguishment of debt, income taxes, and depreciation and amortiza<br>tio<br>n, or EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below), are useful supplemental<br>performance measures because they allow investors to view our performance without the impact of non<br>-<br>cash depreciation and amorti<br>zation or the cost of debt and, with respect to Adjusted EBITDA,<br>unconsolidated joint venture real estate related depreciation<br>& amortization, unconsolidated joint venture interest expense and<br>tax, severance, equity acceleration, and legal expenses, transaction and integration<br>expenses, gain on sale / deconsolidation, impairment of investments in real estate, other non<br>-<br>core adjustments, net, non<br>-<br>control<br>ling interests, preferred stock dividends, including undeclared dividends, and<br>issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred stock. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA excluding unconsolidated joint venture rea<br>l e<br>state related depreciation<br>& amortization, unconsolidated joint venture interest<br>expense and tax, severance, equity acceleration, and legal expenses, transaction and integration expenses, gain on sale / dec<br>ons<br>olidation, impairment of investments in real estate, other non<br>-<br>core adjustments,<br>net, non<br>-<br>controlling interests, preferred stock dividends, including undeclared dividends, and gain on / issuance costs associat<br>ed with redeemed preferred stock. In addition, we believe EBITDA and Adjusted<br>EBITDA are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. Because<br>EB<br>ITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated before recurring cash charges including<br>interest expense and income taxes, exclude capitalized costs, such as leasing commissions, and are not adjusted for capital e<br>xpe<br>nditures or other recurring cash requirements of our business, their utility as a<br>measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do and, accor<br>din<br>gly, our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other REITs’<br>EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered only as supplements to net income co<br>mpu<br>ted in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our financial performance.<br>Net Operating Income (NOI) and Cash NOI:<br>Net operating income, or NOI, represents rental revenue, tenant reimbursement revenue and interconnection revenue less utilit<br>ies<br>expense, rental property operating expenses, property taxes and insurance<br>expenses (as reflected in the statement of operations). NOI is commonly used by stockholders, company management and industry<br>an<br>alysts as a measurement of operating performance of the company’s rental<br>portfolio. Cash NOI is NOI less straight<br>-<br>line rents and above<br>-<br>and below<br>-<br>market rent amortization. Cash NOI is commonly used by<br>stockholders, company management and industry analysts as a measure of<br>property operating performance on a cash basis. However, because NOI and cash NOI exclude depreciation and amortization and c<br>apt<br>ure neither the changes in the value of our data centers that result from use<br>or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and capitalized leasing commissions necessary to maintain the ope<br>rat<br>ing performance of our data centers, all of which have real economic effect and<br>could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of NOI and cash NOI as measures of our performance is limite<br>d.<br>Other REITs may calculate NOI and cash NOI differently than we do and, accordingly,<br>our NOI and cash NOI may not be comparable to other REITs’ NOI and cash NOI. NOI and cash NOI should be considered only as su<br>ppl<br>ements to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as measures of our<br>performance.<br>DIGITAL REALTY 4Q21 FINANCIAL RESULTS FEBRUARY 17, 2022

S<br>ome<br>of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or<br>achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward<br>-<br>looking statements include, among others, the follo<br>wing: reduced demand for data centers or decreases in information technology<br>spending; the competitive environment in which we operate; decreased rental rates, increased operating costs or increased vac<br>anc<br>y rates; the impact of the COVID<br>-<br>19 pandemic on our or our customers’,<br>suppliers’ or business partners’ operations; increased competition or available supply of data center space; the suitability<br>of<br>our data centers and data center infrastructure, delays or disruptions in connectivity or<br>availability of power, or failures or breaches of our physical and information security infrastructure or services; our depen<br>den<br>ce upon significant customers, bankruptcy or insolvency of a major customer or a<br>significant number of smaller customers, or defaults on or non<br>-<br>renewal of leases by customers; breaches of our obligations or re<br>strictions under our contracts with our customers; our inability to successfully<br>develop and lease new properties and development space, and delays or unexpected costs in development of properties; the impa<br>ct<br>of current global and local economic, credit and market conditions; our<br>inability to retain data center space that we lease or sublease from third parties; difficulty managing an international busi<br>nes<br>s and acquiring or operating properties in foreign jurisdictions and unfamiliar<br>metropolitan areas; our inability to achieve expected revenue synergies or cost savings as a result of our combination with I<br>nte<br>rxion; our failure to realize the intended benefits from, or disruptions to our plans<br>and operations or unknown or contingent liabilities related to, our recent acquisitions; our failure to successfully integrat<br>e a<br>nd operate acquired or developed properties or businesses; difficulties in identifying<br>properties to acquire and completing acquisitions; risks related to joint venture investments, including as a result of our l<br>ack<br>of control of such investments; risks associated with using debt to fund our business<br>activities, including re<br>-<br>financing and interest rate risks, our failure to repay debt when due, adverse changes in our credit ra<br>tings or our breach of covenants or other terms contained in our loan facilities and<br>agreements; our failure to obtain necessary debt and equity financing, and our dependence on external sources of capital; fin<br>anc<br>ial market fluctuations and changes in foreign currency exchange rates; adverse<br>economic or real estate developments in our industry or the industry sectors that we sell to, including risks relating to dec<br>rea<br>sing real estate valuations and impairment charges and goodwill and other intangible<br>asset impairment charges; our inability to manage our growth effectively; losses in excess of our insurance coverage; environ<br>men<br>tal liabilities and risks related to natural disasters; our inability to comply with rules<br>and regulations applicable to our company; Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s failure to maintain its status as a REIT for federal<br>inc<br>ome tax purposes; Digital Realty Trust, L.P.’s failure to qualify as a partnership for federal<br>income tax purposes; restrictions on our ability to engage in certain business activities; and changes in local, state, feder<br>al<br>and international laws and regulations, including related to taxation, real estate and<br>zoning laws, and increases in real property tax rates; our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and to attract a<br>nd<br>retain customers; and the impact of any financial, accounting, legal or regulatory issues<br>or litigation that may affect us.<br>The risks included here are not exhaustive, and additional factors could adversely affect our business and financial performa<br>nce<br>.. We discussed<br>a number of<br>additional material risks in our annual report on Form<br>10<br>-<br>K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Those risks continue<br>to be relevant to our performance and financial condition. Moreover, we operate<br>in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to<br>time<br>and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk<br>factors on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ mate<br>ria<br>lly from those contained in any forward<br>-<br>looking statements.
