IRON MOUNTAIN INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except share and per share data) (Unaudited)

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 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. Certain prior year financial statement amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. 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, 2022 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023 (our "Annual Report").

In September 2022, we announced a global program designed to accelerate the growth of our business ("Project Matterhorn"). See Note 11.

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.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

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. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

B. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

(1)Primarily relates to the fair value of the Deferred Purchase Obligation (as defined in Note 3 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report) associated with the ITRenew Transaction (as defined below in Note 3), which was determined utilizing a Monte-Carlo model and takes into account our forecasted projections as it relates to the underlying performance of the business. The Monte-Carlo simulation model incorporates assumptions as to expected gross profits over the applicable achievement period, including adjustments for the volatility of timing and amount of the associated revenue and costs, as well as discount rates that account for the risk of the underlying arrangement and overall market risks. Any material change to these assumptions may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value of the Deferred Purchase Obligation. The change in value of the Deferred Purchase Obligation during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was driven by the accretion of the obligation to present value.

There were no material items that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 other than (i) those disclosed in Note 2.p. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report and (ii) assets acquired and liabilities assumed through our acquisitions that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2023, all of which are based on Level 3 inputs.

(2)Goodwill is primarily attributable to the assembled workforce, expanded market opportunities and costs and other operating synergies anticipated upon the integration of the operations of us and the acquired businesses.

The preliminary purchase price allocations that are not finalized as of June 30, 2023 relate to the final assessment of the fair values of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (primarily the customer relationship intangible asset) associated with the acquisitions we closed during the six months ended June 30, 2023. Any adjustments to our estimates of purchase price allocations will be made in the periods in which the adjustments are determined, but no later than the one year measurement period, and the cumulative effect of such adjustments will be calculated as if the adjustments had been completed as of the applicable acquisition date. Adjustments recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2023 were not material to our results from operations.

The Pro Forma Financial Information is presented for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2021. The Pro Forma Financial Information, for the periods presented, includes purchase accounting adjustments (including amortization of acquired customer and supplier intangible assets and depreciation of acquired property, plant and equipment) and related tax effects. We and ITRenew collectively incurred $59,370 of operating expenditures to complete the ITRenew Transaction (including advisory and professional fees). These operating expenditures have been reflected within the results of operations in the Pro Forma Financial Information as if they were incurred on January 1, 2021.

In February 2022, the joint venture formed by MakeSpace Labs, Inc. and us (the "MakeSpace JV") entered into an agreement with Clutter, Inc. pursuant to which the equityholders of the MakeSpace JV contributed their ownership interests in the MakeSpace JV, and Clutter, Inc.’s shareholders contributed their ownership interests in Clutter, Inc., to create a newly formed venture (the "Clutter JV"). In exchange for our 49.99% interest in the MakeSpace JV, we received an approximate 27% interest in the Clutter JV (the "Clutter Transaction"). As a result of the Clutter Transaction, we recognized a gain related to our contributed interest in the MakeSpace JV of approximately $35,800, which was recorded to Other, net, a component of Other expense (income), net, during the first quarter of 2022.

On June 29, 2023, we completed the Clutter Acquisition. In connection with the Clutter Acquisition, our previously held approximately 27% interest in the Clutter JV was remeasured to fair value at the closing date of the Clutter Acquisition. As a result, we recognized a loss of approximately $38,000 to Other, net, a component of Other expense (income), net, during the second quarter of 2023.

WEB WERKS JOINT VENTURE

In April 2021, we closed on an agreement to form a joint venture (the "Web Werks JV") with the shareholders of Web Werks India Private Limited, a colocation data center provider in India. Through December 31, 2022, we made two investments totaling approximately 7,500,000 Indian rupees (or approximately $96,200, based upon the exchange rates between the United States dollar and Indian rupee on the closing date of each investment) in exchange for a noncontrolling interest in the form of convertible preference shares in the Web Werks JV. On July 7, 2023, we made our final contractual investment in the Web Werks JV of approximately 3,750,000 Indian rupees (or approximately $45,300, based upon the exchange rate between the United States dollar and Indian rupee on the closing date of this investment). After the final contractual payment, our interest in the Web Werks JV increased to 63.39% and we assumed control of its board of directors. For financial reporting periods beginning after July 7, 2023, the Web Werks JV will be consolidated within our Global Data Center Business segment.

5. 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

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. These forward-starting interest rate swap agreements commenced in March 2022 with a total notional amount of $350,000 and provided variable rate interest payments associated with the notional amount of each interest rate swap, based upon one-month London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), in exchange for the payment of fixed interest rates as specified in the respective interest rate swap agreements. In April 2023, we terminated these agreements in anticipation of the discontinuance of the LIBOR reference rate on June 30, 2023. The terminated swap agreements had associated unrealized gains at the termination date of approximately $10,100. These gains are included in Accumulated other comprehensive items, net and will be reclassified into earnings as reductions to interest expense from the date of termination through March 2024, the original maturity date of the swaps.

In April 2023, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness. Under these interest rate swap agreements, we receive variable rate interest payments associated with the notional amount of each interest rate swap, based upon one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate, in exchange for the payment of fixed interest rates as specified in the interest rate swap agreements. As of June 30, 2023, we have $350,000 in notional value outstanding associated with these interest rate swap agreements, which expire in February 2026.

In November 2022, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on future borrowings under our Virginia Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 7 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report). This forward-starting interest rate swap agreement commenced in July 2023 and expires in October 2025. As of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have $4,800 in notional value outstanding on this forward-starting interest rate swap agreement.

We have designated each of the interest rate swap agreements described above as cash flow hedges. These interest rate swap agreements are marked to market at the end of each reporting period, representing the fair values of the interest rate 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.

5. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES (CONTINUED)

CROSS-CURRENCY SWAP AGREEMENTS DESIGNATED AS A HEDGE OF NET INVESTMENT

We utilize cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the United States dollar and the Euro. As of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have approximately $469,200 in notional value outstanding on cross-currency interest rate swaps, with maturity dates ranging from August 2023 through February 2026.

We have designated these cross-currency swap agreements as hedges of net investments in certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries and they require an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity. These cross-currency swap agreements are marked to market at the end of 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. The excluded component of our cross-currency swap agreements is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive items, net and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis.

The fair value of derivative instruments recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, by derivative instrument, are as follows:

MAY 2023 OFFERING

On May 15, 2023, IMI completed a private offering of:

7% Notes due 2029 $ 1,000,000 February 15, 2029 February 15 and August 15 August 15, 2025

(1)We may redeem the 7% Notes due 2029 at any time, at our option, in whole or in part. Prior to the par call date, we may redeem the 7% Notes due 2029 at the redemption price or make-whole premium specified in the indenture governing the 7% Notes due 2029, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. On or after the par call date, we may redeem the 7% Notes due 2029 at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount being redeemed, together with accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The 7% Notes due 2029 were issued at 100% of par. The total net proceeds of approximately $990,000 from the issuance of the 7% Notes due 2029, after deducting the initial purchasers' commissions, were used to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.

LETTERS OF CREDIT

As of June 30, 2023, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $40,410, of which $4,439 reduce our borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. The letters of credit expire at various dates between September 2023 and July 2025.

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 other specified 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 net total lease adjusted leverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage 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.

6. DEBT (CONTINUED)

The Credit Agreement uses earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and rent expense ("EBITDAR") based calculations and the bond indentures use earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") based calculations as the primary measures of financial performance for purposes of calculating leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The EBITDAR- and EBITDA-based leverage calculations include our consolidated subsidiaries, other than those we have designated as "Unrestricted Subsidiaries" as defined in the Credit Agreement and 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 June 30, 2023. Noncompliance with these leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity.

7. 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.

We have estimated a reasonably possible range for all loss contingencies 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 $18,000 over the next several years, of which certain amounts would be covered by insurance or indemnity arrangement.

8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY MATTERS

In September 2022, we announced a global program designed to accelerate the growth of our business ("Project Matterhorn"). Project Matterhorn investments will focus on transforming our operating model to a global operating model. Project Matterhorn will focus on the formation of a solution-based sales approach that is designed to allow us to optimize our shared services and best practices to better serve our customers' needs.

GENERAL

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - KEY TRENDS

•We have experienced steady volume in our Global RIM Business segment, with organic storage rental revenue growth driven primarily by revenue management. We expect organic storage rental revenue growth to benefit from revenue management and volume to be relatively stable in the near term.

•Our organic service revenue growth is primarily due to increases in our service activity. We expect organic service revenue growth in 2023 to benefit from our new and existing digital offerings, as well as our traditional services.

•We expect continued total revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth in 2023 as a result of our focus on new product and service offerings, innovation, customer solutions and market expansion in line with our Project Matterhorn objectives.

Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) and Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 consists of the following:

NON-GAAP MEASURES

ADJUSTED EBITDA

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization (inclusive of our share of Adjusted EBITDA from our unconsolidated joint ventures), and excluding certain items we do not believe to be indicative of our core operating results, specifically:

EXCLUDED
•Acquisition and Integration Costs (as defined below)<br><br>•Restructuring and other transformation<br><br>•(Gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net (including real estate) •Other expense (income), net<br><br>•Stock-based compensation expense

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenues. We also show Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin for each of our reportable segments under "Results of Operations – Segment Analysis" below.

p27_callout_ProjectedAdjustedEBITDA.jpg

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. 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, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities.

ADJUSTED EPS

We define Adjusted EPS as reported earnings per share fully diluted from net income (loss) attributable to Iron Mountain Incorporated (inclusive of our share of adjusted losses (gains) from our unconsolidated joint ventures) and excluding certain items, specifically:

EXCLUDED
•Acquisition and Integration Costs<br><br>•Restructuring and other transformation<br><br>•Amortization related to the write-off of certain customer relationship intangible assets<br><br>•(Gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net (including real estate) •Other expense (income), net<br><br>•Stock-based compensation expense<br><br>•Non-cash amortization related to derivative instruments<br><br>•Tax impact of reconciling items and discrete tax items

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.

RECONCILIATION OF REPORTED EPS—FULLY DILUTED FROM NET INCOME (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO IRON MOUNTAIN INCORPORATED TO ADJUSTED EPS—FULLY DILUTED FROM NET INCOME (LOSS) ATTRIBUTABLE TO IRON MOUNTAIN INCORPORATED:

(1)The difference between our effective tax rates and our structural tax rate (or adjusted effective tax rates) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 is primarily due to (i) the reconciling items above, which impact our reported net income (loss) 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 six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was 14.0% and 16.5%, respectively. The Tax impact of reconciling items and discrete tax items is calculated using the current quarter's estimate of the annual structural tax rate. This may result in the current period adjustment plus prior period reported quarterly adjustments not summing to the full year adjustment.

FFO (NAREIT) AND FFO (NORMALIZED)

Funds from operations ("FFO") is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income (loss) excluding depreciation on real estate assets, losses and gains on sale of real estate, net of tax, and amortization of data center leased-based intangibles ("FFO (Nareit)"). We calculate our FFO measures, including FFO (Nareit), adjusting for our share of reconciling items from our unconsolidated joint ventures. 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).

We modify FFO (Nareit), as is common among REITs seeking to provide financial measures that most meaningfully reflect their particular business ("FFO (Normalized)"). Our definition of FFO (Normalized) excludes certain items included in FFO (Nareit) that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results, specifically:

EXCLUDED
•Acquisition and Integration Costs<br><br>•Restructuring and other transformation<br><br>•(Gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net (excluding real estate)<br><br>•Other expense (income), net •Stock-based compensation expense<br><br>•Non-cash amortization related to derivative instruments<br><br>•Real estate financing lease depreciation<br><br>•Tax impact of reconciling items and discrete tax items

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

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 estimates 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 estimates 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. We have determined that no material changes concerning our critical accounting estimates have occurred since December 31, 2022.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

GENERAL

We expect to meet our short-term and long-term cash flow requirements through cash generated from operations, cash on hand, borrowings under our Credit Agreement (as defined below) and proceeds from monetizing a small portion of our total industrial real estate assets, as well as other potential financings (such as the issuance of debt). Our cash flow requirements, both in the near and long term, include, but are not limited to, capital expenditures, the repayment of outstanding debt, shareholder dividends, potential business acquisitions and normal business operation needs.

PROJECT MATTERHORN

As disclosed above, in September 2022, we announced Project Matterhorn. We estimate that the implementation of Project Matterhorn will result in costs of approximately $150.0 million per year from 2023 through 2025. Total costs related to Project Matterhorn during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were approximately $45.6 million and $82.5 million, respectively, and are included in Restructuring and other transformation in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Total costs from inception of the program to June 30, 2023 were approximately $124.4 million.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION PROGRAM

On June 8, 2023, we amended the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program (as defined in Note 7 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report) to increase the maximum borrowing capacity from $325.0 million to $360.0 million. All other material terms of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program remain the same as what was disclosed in Note 7 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report.

LETTERS OF CREDIT

As of June 30, 2023, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $40.4 million, of which $4.4 million reduce our borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. The letters of credit expire at various dates between September 2023 and July 2025.

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 other specified 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 net total lease adjusted leverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage 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 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and rent expense ("EBITDAR") based calculations and the bond indentures use earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") based calculations as the primary measures of financial performance for purposes of calculating leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The EBITDAR- and EBITDA-based leverage calculations include our consolidated subsidiaries, other than those we have designated as "Unrestricted Subsidiaries" as defined in the Credit Agreement and 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 certain of our bond indentures 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. 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) events that are extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring.

Our leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2023 are as follows:

JUNE 30, 2023 MAXIMUM/MINIMUM ALLOWABLE
Net total lease adjusted leverage ratio 5.1 Maximum allowable of 7.0
Fixed charge coverage ratio 2.3 Minimum allowable of 1.5

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 June 30, 2023. 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

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. These forward-starting interest rate swap agreements commenced in March 2022 with a total notional amount of $350.0 million and provided 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 respective interest rate swap agreements. In April 2023, we terminated these agreements in anticipation of the discontinuance of the LIBOR reference rate on June 30, 2023. The terminated swap agreements had associated unrealized gains at the termination date of approximately $10.1 million. These gains are included in Accumulated other comprehensive items, net and will be reclassified into earnings as reductions to interest expense from the date of termination through March 2024, the original maturity date of the swaps.

In April 2023, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness. Under these interest rate swap agreements, we receive variable rate interest payments associated with the notional amount of each interest rate swap, based upon one-month Secured Overnight Financing Rate, in exchange for the payment of fixed interest rates as specified in the interest rate swap agreements. As of June 30, 2023, we have $350.0 million in notional value outstanding associated with these interest rate swap agreements, which expire in February 2026.

In November 2022, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on future borrowings under our Virginia Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 7 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report). This forward-starting interest rate swap agreement commenced in July 2023 and expires in October 2025. As of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have $4.8 million in notional value outstanding on this forward-starting interest rate swap agreement.

We have designated each of the interest rate swap agreements described above as cash flow hedges. These interest rate swap agreements are marked to market at the end of each reporting period, representing the fair values of the interest rate 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.

CROSS-CURRENCY SWAP AGREEMENTS

We utilize cross-currency interest rate swaps to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the United States dollar and the Euro. As of both June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we have approximately $469.2 million in notional value outstanding on cross-currency interest rate swaps, with maturity dates ranging from August 2023 through February 2026.

We have designated these cross-currency swap agreements as hedges of net investments in certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries and they require an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity. These cross-currency swap agreements are marked to market at the end of 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. The excluded component of our cross-currency swap agreements is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive items, net and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis.

ACQUISITIONS

CLUTTER

On June 29, 2023, in order to further expand our on-demand consumer storage business, we acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Clutter Intermediate, Inc. and control of all assets of the Clutter JV (collectively, "Clutter") for total consideration of $59.1 million (the “Clutter Acquisition”). During the third quarter of 2023, we anticipate offering up to 15% equity interest in Clutter to certain former stakeholders of the Clutter JV.

INVESTMENTS

CLUTTER JOINT VENTURE

In February 2022, the joint venture formed by MakeSpace Labs, Inc. and us (the "MakeSpace JV") entered into an agreement with Clutter, Inc. pursuant to which the equityholders of the MakeSpace JV contributed their ownership interests in the MakeSpace JV, and Clutter, Inc.’s shareholders contributed their ownership interests in Clutter, Inc., to create a newly formed venture (the "Clutter JV"). In exchange for our 49.99% interest in the MakeSpace JV, we received an approximate 27% interest in the Clutter JV (the "Clutter Transaction"). As a result of the Clutter Transaction, we recognized a gain related to our contributed interest in the MakeSpace JV of approximately $35.8 million, which was recorded to Other, net, a component of Other expense (income), net, during the first quarter of 2022.

On June 29, 2023, we completed the Clutter Acquisition. In connection with the Clutter Acquisition, our previously held approximately 27% interest in the Clutter JV was remeasured to fair value at the closing date of the Clutter Acquisition. As a result, we recognized a loss of approximately $38.0 million to Other, net, a component of Other expense (income), net, during the second quarter of 2023.

WEB WERKS JOINT VENTURE

In April 2021, we closed on an agreement to form a joint venture (the "Web Werks JV") with the shareholders of Web Werks India Private Limited, a colocation data center provider in India. Through December 31, 2022, we made two investments totaling approximately 7,500.0 million Indian rupees (or approximately $96.2 million, based upon the exchange rates between the United States dollar and Indian rupee on the closing date of each investment) in exchange for a noncontrolling interest in the form of convertible preference shares in the Web Werks JV. On July 7, 2023, we made our final contractual investment in the Web Werks JV of approximately 3,750.0 million Indian rupees (or approximately $45.3 million, based upon the exchange rate between the United States dollar and Indian rupee on the closing date of this investment). After the final contractual payment, our interest in the Web Werks JV increased to 63.39% and we assumed control of its board of directors. For financial reporting periods beginning after July 7, 2023, the Web Werks JV will be consolidated within our Global Data Center Business segment.

JOINT VENTURE SUMMARY

The following joint ventures are accounted for as equity method investments and are presented as a component of Other within Other assets, net in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying values and equity interests in our joint ventures at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows (in thousands):

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").

As of June 30, 2023 (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 June 30, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
