Item 8.01    Other Events.

On July 28, 2011, we reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s and Digital Realty Trust, L.P.’s (which we refer to as our operating partnership) net income for the second quarter of 2011 was $38.2 million, down 2.1% from $39.0 million in the first quarter of 2011 and up 92.0% from $19.9 million in the second quarter of 2010. Net income for the second quarter of 2011 was down from the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to higher interest expense in the second quarter of 2011 compared to the previous quarter due to the issuance of our operating partnership’s 5.250% unsecured senior notes due 2021 in March 2011 partially offset by an increase in operating income. Net income available to common stockholders of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. in the second quarter of 2011 was $32.0 million, or $0.33 per diluted share, unchanged from $0.33 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2011 and up 200.0% from $0.11 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2010. Net income available to common stockholders of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. in the second quarter of 2011 was up from the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to the conversion of convertible preferred stock which reduced preferred stock dividends in the second quarter of 2011. Net income available to common unitholders of our operating partnership in the second quarter of 2011 was $33.6 million, or $0.33 per diluted unit, unchanged from $0.33 per diluted unit in the first quarter of 2011 and up 200.0% from $0.11 per diluted unit in the second quarter of 2010. Net income available to common unitholders of our operating partnership in the second quarter of 2011 was up from the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to the conversion of convertible preferred units which reduced preferred unit distributions in the second quarter of 2011.

We reported total operating revenues of $267.9 million in the second quarter of 2011, up 6.9% from $250.7 million in the first quarter of 2011 and up 35.6% from $197.5 million in the second quarter of 2010. Total operating revenues in the second quarter of 2011 increased from the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to new leasing at our properties.

Funds from operations (“FFO”) on a diluted basis was $119.6 million in the second quarter of 2011, or $1.02 per diluted share and unit, unchanged from $1.02 per diluted share and unit in the first quarter of 2011 and up 34.2% from $0.76 per diluted share and unit in the second quarter of 2010. FFO per diluted share and unit in the second quarter of 2011 was unchanged from the first quarter of 2011 primarily due to an increase in operating income offset by an increase in shares outstanding resulting from the issuance of nearly 2.9 million shares under our At-the-Market equity distribution program.

Acquisitions and Leasing Activity

On April 15, 2011, we completed the acquisition of a 38.8 acre development site located contiguous to our datacenter campus in Ashburn, Virginia. The purchase price was $17.3 million. The site was acquired for the development of additional datacenter facilities to meet future demand for Turn-Key Datacenter and Powered Base Building space in the Northern Virginia market. Up to 300,000 square feet is planned for the initial phase of development at the site. The timing and commencement of construction is subject to a number of factors, including the successful leasing of available space at the existing campus.


On June 24, 2011, we acquired the noncontrolling ownership interest in Datacenter Park Dallas, from our joint venture partner for $53.2 million, resulting in full ownership by us. The 7-building development property is located in Richardson, Texas and totals approximately 797,000 square feet. We recently completed the development and lease up of the first building, 1232 Alma Road, a 105,000 square foot multi-tenant datacenter facility with 13 MW of IT capacity.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on July 21, 2011, we completed the acquisition of an 8.6 acre development site in Sydney, Australia for a purchase price of approximately $10.1 million AUD. This represents the first acquisition in Australia for us, and we now operate data centers in 29 markets world-wide. The site is capable of supporting approximately 200,000 square feet of data center development with over 11.5MW of IT capacity. We have secured permitting for the development and plan to commence construction on the first phase in the fall of 2011, which consists of building out the first of two data center facilities totaling approximately 100,000 square feet. Each building is designed to support four 1440 kW Turn-Key Datacenter PODs. The first two 1440 kW PODs are expected to be delivered upon completion of the first building’s shell and core.

On July 26, 2011, we completed the acquisition of a redevelopment site in London, U.K. for a purchase price of £12.9 million. The property totals approximately 130,000 square feet with 8 MW of IT capacity and is capable of supporting the development of five 1440 kW Turn-Key Datacenter PODs.

We signed leases during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 totaling approximately $42.9 million of annualized GAAP rental revenue, including $1.5 million of colocation revenue, and scheduled to commence between the second quarter of 2011 and the fourth quarter of 2012. Leases signed totaled approximately 289,000 square feet, consisting of over 205,000 square feet of Turn-Key Datacenter space leased at an average annual GAAP rental rate of approximately $193.00 per square foot, and approximately 84,000 square feet of non-technical space leased at an average annual GAAP rental rate of approximately $20.00 per square foot.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we commenced leases totaling approximately $29.0 million of annualized GAAP rental revenue, including approximately $0.8 million of colocation revenue. Commenced leases totaled approximately 476,000 square feet, consisting of over 123,000 square feet of Turn-Key Datacenter space leased at an average annual GAAP rental rate of approximately $146.00 per square foot, approximately 225,000 square feet of Powered Base Building space leased at an average annual GAAP rental rate of approximately $25.00 per square foot, and nearly 98,000 square feet of non-technical space leased at an average annual GAAP rental rate of approximately $21.00 per square foot. Also included in commencements were datacenter master leases, previously announced as signed in the first quarter of 2011, which totaled nearly 30,000 square feet leased at an average annual GAAP rental rate of approximately $85.00 per square foot.

As of July 28, 2011, our portfolio comprises 97 properties, excluding two properties held in unconsolidated joint ventures, consisting of 135 buildings totaling approximately 17.2 million net rentable square feet, including 2.2 million square feet of space held for redevelopment. The portfolio is strategically located in 29 key technology markets throughout North America, Europe, Singapore and Australia.

Balance Sheet Update

Total assets grew to approximately $5.7 billion at June 30, 2011, up from approximately $5.5 billion at March 31, 2011. Total debt at June 30, 2011 was approximately $3.1 billion, unchanged from the first quarter ended March 31, 2011. Stockholders’ equity was approximately $2.1 billion at June 30, 2011, up from approximately $1.9 billion at March 31, 2011.

During the second quarter of 2011, in connection with the acquisition of the noncontrolling ownership interest in Datacenter Park Dallas, we also repaid in full secured debt on the property for approximately $16.2 million. The acquisition and the repayment were financed with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. We also prepaid the secured debt on the 3 Corporate Place property in Piscataway, New Jersey totaling approximately $80.0 million and paid at maturity the secured debt on the 6 Braham Street property in London, England totaling approximately $20.3 million. After quarter end, we repaid at maturity $25.0 million of unsecured notes under the Prudential shelf facility.

In June 2011, we completed our previous At-the-Market equity distribution program, under which Digital Realty Trust, Inc. sold 6,790,653 shares of its common stock for gross proceeds of $400.0 million, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $394.0 million after deducting commissions and before offering expenses. During the second quarter of 2011, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. sold 2,869,445 shares of its common stock at an average price of $60.58 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $171.2 million after deducting commissions and before offering expenses.

Subsequently, we commenced a new At-the-Market equity distribution program under which Digital Realty Trust, Inc. can issue and sell up to $400.0 million of its common stock. We will use the net proceeds from the offering to temporarily repay borrowings under our revolving credit facility, to acquire additional properties, to fund development and redevelopment opportunities and for general working capital purposes, including potentially for the repurchase, redemption or retirement of outstanding debt or preferred equity securities.

During the second quarter of 2011, holders of our operating partnership’s 4.125% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2026, or the 2026 Debentures, exchanged approximately $4.6 million aggregate principal amount of such debentures for approximately


$4.6 million in cash and 69,000 shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock. Holders of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock also converted approximately 1,429,000 shares of such preferred stock with a liquidation preference value of $35.7 million, which comprised approximately 20% of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding at December 31, 2010, into approximately 764,000 newly issued shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock. In addition, holders of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock converted approximately 4,127,000 shares of such preferred stock with a liquidation preference value of $103.2 million, which comprised approximately 30% of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding at December 31, 2010, into approximately 2,526,000 newly issued shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock.

On July 14, 2011, we commenced an offer to repurchase, at the option of each holder, any and all of the outstanding 2026 Debentures at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, as required by the terms of the indenture governing the 2026 Debentures. The repurchase offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 11, 2011. We also distributed a Notice of Redemption to the holders of the 2026 Debentures that our operating partnership intends to redeem all of the outstanding 2026 Debentures, pursuant to its option under the indenture governing the 2026 Debentures, on August 18, 2011, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the redemption date. In connection with the redemption, holders of the 2026 Debentures have the right to exchange their 2026 Debentures prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 16, 2011. 2026 Debentures not surrendered pursuant to the repurchase offer prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 11, 2011, or for exchange prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on August 16, 2011, will be redeemed by our operating partnership on August 18, 2011.

On July 25, 2011, we declared dividends of $0.68 per share of common stock, $0.273438 per share of 4.375% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, and $0.34375 per share of 5.500% Series D Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. The dividends will be paid on September 30, 2011 to holders of record on September 15, 2011. Our operating partnership declared an equivalent distribution per unit.

SUPPLEMENTAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

This discussion is a supplement to, and is intended to be read together with, the discussions under the heading “United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” included in our Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-158958 and 333-158958-01) (the “Registration Statement”), and is intended to supersede the discussion under the heading “Supplemental United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 25, 2011. This summary is for general information only and is not tax advice.

The following discussion is intended to replace the discussion under the heading “Tax Rates.”

The maximum tax rate for non-corporate taxpayers for (1) capital gains, including certain “capital gain dividends,” is generally 15% (although depending on the characteristics of the assets which produced these gains and on designations which we may make, certain capital gain dividends may be taxed at a 25% rate) and (2) “qualified dividend income” is generally 15%. However, dividends payable by REITs are not eligible for the 15% tax rate on qualified dividend income, except to the extent that certain holding requirements have been met and the REIT’s dividends are attributable to dividends received from taxable corporations (such as its taxable REIT subsidiaries), to income that was subject to tax at the corporate/REIT level (for example, if it distributed taxable income that it retained and paid tax on in the prior taxable year), or to dividends properly designated by the REIT as “capital gain dividends.” For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012, the 15% the capital gains tax rate is currently scheduled to increase to 20% and the rate applicable to dividends will increase to the tax rate then applicable to ordinary income. In addition, U.S. holders that are corporations may be required to treat up to 20% of some capital gain dividends as ordinary income.

In addition, certain U.S. holders that are individuals, estates or trusts are required to pay an additional 3.8% tax on, among other things, dividends, interest on and capital gains from the sale or other disposition of stock or debt obligations for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2012. U.S. holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of these additional taxes on their ownership and disposition of our capital stock or debt securities.

The following discussion is intended to replace the discussion under the heading “Withholding Taxes on Certain Foreign Accounts” in the Registration Statement.

Withholding taxes may be imposed on certain types of payments made to “foreign financial institutions” and certain other non-United States entities. Specifically, a 30% withholding tax will be imposed on dividends and interest on, and gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, capital stock or debt securities paid to a foreign financial institution or to a foreign non-financial entity, unless (i) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations or (ii) the foreign non-financial entity either certifies it does not have any substantial United States owners or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner. If the payee is a foreign financial institution, it must enter into an agreement with the United States Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain United States persons or United States-owned foreign entities, annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on payments to certain other account holders. Although these rules currently apply to applicable payments made after December 31, 2012 (other than payments made on debt securities outstanding on March 18, 2012), in recent guidance, the IRS has indicated that Treasury Regulations will be issued providing that the withholding provisions described above will apply to payments of dividends on our common stock or interest on our debt securities (excluding those debt securities outstanding on March 18, 2012) made on or after January 1, 2014 and to payments of gross proceeds from a sale or other disposition of such stock or debt securities on or after January 1, 2015. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding these withholding provisions, including this new IRS guidance.

Forward-Looking Statements

We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Note Regarding Funds From Operations

We calculate Funds from Operations, or FFO, in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. FFO represents net income (loss) available to common stockholders and unitholders (computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) 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, 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 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 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 such other REITs’ FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance.

Note Regarding EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We believe that earnings before interest expense, income taxes, 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, preferred dividends and noncontrolling interests. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA excluding noncontrolling interests, preferred stock dividends and costs of redeeming our 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; accordingly, our EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to such 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.
