b.    Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets
Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. We have selected October 1 as our annual goodwill impairment review date. We performed our most recent annual goodwill impairment review as of October 1, 20152016 and concluded there was no impairment of goodwill at such date. As of December 31, 2015,2016 and March 31, 2017, no factors were identified that would alter our October 1, 20152016 goodwill analysis. While several of our reporting units were impacted by our acquisition of Recall, no factors were identified as of September 30, 2016 that would indicate an impairment of goodwill.analysis. In making this assessment, we considered a number of factors including operating results, business plans, anticipated future cash flows, transactions and marketplace data. There are inherent uncertainties related to these factors and our judgment in applying them to the analysis of goodwill impairment. When changes occur in the composition of one or more reporting units, the goodwill is reassigned to the reporting units affected based on their relative fair values.
Refer to our Annual Report for information regarding the composition of ourOur reporting units as of December 31, 2015. The carrying value of goodwill, net for each of our reporting units as of December 31, 2015 was as follows:

Finite-lived intangible assets
Customer relationship intangible assets, which are acquired through either business combinations or acquisitions of customer relationships, are amortized over periods ranging from 10eight to 30 years.years and are included in depreciation and amortization in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The value of customer relationship intangible assets is calculated based upon estimates of their fair value utilizing an income approach based on the present value of expected future cash flows.
Costs related to the acquisition of large volume accounts are capitalized. Free intake costs to transport boxes to one of our facilities, which include labor and transportation chargescosts ("Move Costs"), are amortized over periods ranging from oneeight to 30 years and are included in depreciation and amortization in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Payments that are made to a customer's current records management vendor in order to terminate the customer's existing contract with that vendor, or direct payments to a customer ("Permanent Withdrawal Fees"), are amortized over periods ranging from onethree to 15 years and are included in storage and service revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Move Costs and Permanent Withdrawal Fees are collectively referred to as "Customer Inducements". If the customer terminates its relationship with us, the unamortized carrying value of the Customer Inducement intangible asset is charged to expense or revenue. However, in the event of such termination, we generally collect, and record as income, permanent removal fees that generally equal or exceed the amount of the unamortized Customer Inducement intangible asset.
Other finite-lived intangible assets, including trade names, noncompetition agreements and trademarks, are capitalized and amortized over periods ranging from fivethree to 10 years.years and are included in depreciation and amortization in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The components of our finite-lived intangible assets as of December 31, 20152016 and September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 are as follows:

c.    Stock-Based Compensation
We record stock-based compensation expense, utilizing the straight-line method, for the cost of stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance units ("PUs") and shares of stock issued under our employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP") (together, "Employee Stock-Based Awards").
Stock-based compensation expense for Employee Stock-Based Awards included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and 2017 was $6,159$6,885 ($4,5024,914 after tax or $0.02 per basic and diluted share) and $20,936$6,549 ($14,9154,585 after tax or $0.07 per basic and diluted share), respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for Employee Stock-Based Awards for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $5,957 ($4,245 after tax or $0.02 per basic and diluted share) and $21,870 ($16,170 after tax or $0.07 per basic and diluted share), respectively.

The benefits associated with the tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost are required to be reported as financing activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. This requirement impacts reported operating cash flows and reported financing cash flows. As a result, net financing cash flows included $323 and $91 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively, from the benefit of tax deductions compared to recognized compensation cost. The tax benefit of any resulting excess tax deduction increases the Additional Paid-in Capital ("APIC") pool. Any resulting tax deficiency is deducted from the APIC pool.

The weighted average fair value of stock options granted for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and 20162017 was $4.88$2.49 and $2.55$4.26 per share, respectively. These values were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes stock option pricing model. The weighted average assumptions used for grants in the respective periodperiods are as follows:

Expected volatility is calculated utilizing daily historical volatility over a period that equates to the expected life of the stock option. The risk-free interest rate was based on the United States Treasury interest rates whose term is consistent with the expected life (estimated period of time outstanding) of the stock options. Expected dividend yield is considered in the stock option pricing model and represents our current annualized expected per share dividends over the current trade price of our common stock. The expected life of the stock options granted is estimated using the historical exercise behavior of employees.

Restricted Stock Units
Under our various equity compensation plans, we may also grant RSUs. Our RSUs generally have a vesting period of between three and five years from the date of grant. However, RSUs granted to our non-employee directors in 2015 and thereafter vest immediately upon grant.
All RSUs accrue dividend equivalents associated with the underlying stock as we declare dividends. Dividends will generally be paid to holders of RSUs in cash upon the vesting date of the associated RSU and will be forfeited if the RSU does not vest. The fair value of RSUs is the excess of the market price of our common stock at the date of grant over the purchase price (which is typically zero).

Performance Units
Under our various equity compensation plans, we may also make awards of PUs. For the majority of outstanding PUs, the number of PUs earned is determined based on our performance against predefined targets of revenue and return on invested capital ("ROIC"). The number of PUs earned may range from 0% to 200% of the initial award. The number of PUs earned is determined based on our actual performance as compared to the targets at the end of a three-year performance period. Certain PUs that we grant will be earned based on a market condition associated with the total return on our common stock in relation to either (i) a subset of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index (for certain PUs granted prior to 2017), or (ii) a subset of the MSCI United States REIT Index (for certain PUs granted in 2017), rather than the revenue and ROIC targets noted above. The number of PUs earned based on thisthe applicable market condition may range from 0% to 200% of the initial award.
All of our PUs will be settled in shares of our common stock and are subject to cliff vesting three years from the date of the original PU grant. PUs awarded to employees who terminate their employment during the three-year performance period and on or after attaining age 55 and completing 10 years of qualifying service are eligible for pro-rated vesting, subject to the actual achievement against the predefined targets or a market condition as discussed above, based on the number of full years of service completed following the grant date (but delivery of the shares remains deferred). As a result, PUs are generally expensed over the three-year performance period.
All PUs accrue dividend equivalents associated with the underlying stock as we declare dividends. Dividends will generally be paid to holders of PUs in cash upon the settlement date of the associated PU and will be forfeited if the PU does not vest.
Cash dividends accrued and paid on PUs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017 are as follows:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we issued 230,052229,692 PUs. The majority of our PUs are earned based on our performance against revenue and ROIC targets during their applicable performance period; therefore, we forecast the likelihood of achieving the predefined revenue and ROIC targets in order to calculate the expected PUs to be earned. We record a compensation charge based on either the forecasted PUs to be earned (during the performance period) or the actual PUs earned (at the three-year anniversary of the grant date) over the vesting period for each of the awards. The fair value of PUs based on our performance against revenue and ROIC targets is the excess of the market price of our common stock at the date of grant over the purchase price (which is typically zero). For PUs earned based on a market condition, we utilize a Monte Carlo simulation to fair value these awards at the date of grant, and such fair value is expensed over the three-year performance period. As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we expected 0%25%, 50%100% and 100% achievement of the predefined revenue and ROIC targets associated with the awards of PUs made in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2016,2017, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
We offer an ESPP in which participation is available to substantially all United States and Canadian employees who meet certain service eligibility requirements. The price for shares purchased under the ESPP is 95% of the market price of our common stock at the end of the offering period, without a look-back feature. As a result, we do not recognize compensation expense for the ESPP shares purchased. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, there were 59,569 shares and 56,662 shares, respectively, purchased under the ESPP. As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we had 781,767727,594 shares available under the ESPP.

As of March 31, 2017, unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested portion of our Employee Stock-Based Awards was $61,990 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years.
We generally issue shares of our common stock for the exercises of stock options, the vesting of RSUs and PUs and under our ESPP from unissued reserved shares.

As of September 30, 2016, unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested portion of our Employee Stock-Based Awards was $43,137 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.
We generally issue shares of our common stock for the exercises of stock options, RSUs, PUs and shares of our common stock under our ESPP from unissued reserved shares.
d.    Income (Loss) Per Share—Basic and Diluted
Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share is consistent with that of basic income (loss) per share but gives effect to all potential common shares (that is, securities such as stock options, warrantsRSUs or convertible securities)PUs) that were outstanding during the period, unless the effect is antidilutive.

e.    Income Taxes
We provide for income taxes during interim periods based on our estimate of the effective tax rate for the year. Discrete items and changes in our estimate of the annual effective tax rate are recorded in the period they occur. Our effective tax rate is subject to variability in the future due to, among other items: (1) changes in the mix of income between our qualified REIT subsidiaries ("QRSs") and our domestic taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), as well as among the jurisdictions in which we operate; (2) tax law changes; (3) volatility in foreign exchange gains and losses; (4) the timing of the establishment and reversal of tax reserves; and (5) our ability to utilize net operating losses that we generate.
Our effective tax ratesrate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were 14.3%March 31, 2016 and 18.6%, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the three2017 was 15.9% and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were 81.2% and 46.2%13.5%, respectively. The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory tax rate of 35.0% and our overall effective tax ratesrate in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 were the benefit derived from the dividends paid deduction and differences in the rates of tax at which our foreign earnings are subject, including foreign exchange gains and losses in different jurisdictions with different tax rates, and state income taxes (net of federal tax benefit). In the third quarter of 2015, we recorded a tax benefit of $4,100 related to the expiration of certain statutes of limitations and an out-of-period tax adjustment ($9,000 tax benefit) to correct the valuation of certain deferred tax assets associated with the REIT conversion that occurred in 2014.rates. The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory tax rate of 35.0% and our overall effective tax ratesrate in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 were the benefit derived from the dividends paid deduction, a release of valuation allowances on certain of our foreign net operating losses of $7,511 as a result of the merger of certain of our foreign subsidiaries and differences in the rates of tax at which our foreign earnings are subject, including foreign exchange gains and losses in different jurisdictions with different tax rates, andrates. These benefits were partially offset by the impact of a legislative change enacted in the $14,000 charge (described in Note 2.i.) recorded during the thirdfirst quarter of 2017 in the United Kingdom which eliminated the deductibility of certain interest expense and increased our tax provision for the first quarter of 2017 by $1,764, or 2.5%.

During 2016, as a result of the closing of the Recall Transaction and the subsequent integration of Recall's operations into our operations, we reassessed our intentions regarding the indefinite reinvestment of current and future undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries outside the United States (the "2016 Indefinite Reinvestment Assessment"). As a result of the 2016 Indefinite Reinvestment Assessment, we concluded that it is our intent to indefinitely reinvest our current and future undistributed earnings of our unconverted foreign TRSs outside the United States. Accordingly, we no longer provide incremental foreign withholding taxes on the retained book earnings of these unconverted foreign TRSs. As a REIT, future repatriation of incremental undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries will not be subject to federal or state income tax, with the exception of foreign withholding taxes in limited instances; however, such future repatriations will require distribution in accordance with REIT distribution rules, and any such distribution may then be taxable, as appropriate, at the stockholder level. We continue, however, to provide for incremental foreign withholding taxes on net book over outside basis differences related to the anticipated loss on disposalearnings of the Australia Divestment Business (as defined in Note 4), which had no associated tax benefit.our foreign QRSs and certain of our converted TRSs.
f.    Concentrations of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents (including money market funds and time deposits) and accounts receivable. The only significant concentrations of liquid investments as of December 31, 20152016 and September 30, 2016 relateMarch 31, 2017, respectively, related to cash and cash equivalents. At December 31, 2015, we had time deposits with four global banks. At September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2017, we had time deposits with six global banks. We consider thebanks and seven global banks, to be large, highly-rated investment-grade institutions.respectively. As of December 31, 20152016 and September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents were $128,381was $236,484 and $458,128,$295,628, respectively, including time deposits amounting to $18,645of $22,240 and $18,687,$25,739, respectively.
g.    Fair Value Measurements
Our financial assets or liabilities that are carried at fair value are required to be measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability's classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2—Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

As disclosed in Note 10, we have determined that the Australia Divestment Business met the criteria to be reported as held for sale beginning in the second quarter of 2016. Accordingly, the Australia Divestment Business is reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at the lower of its carrying value or its fair value (less costs to sell). This charge represents the excess of the carrying value of the Australia Divestment Business compared to its fair value (less costs to sell) as of September 30, 2016, based upon the sale price of the business described more fully in Note 13.

k.    New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014,January 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). ASU 2017-04 modifies the process by which entities will test goodwill for impairment. Under existing GAAP, when the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value, an entity would then proceed to a “Step 2” goodwill impairment analysis, which requires calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities, as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. Under ASU 2017-04, a goodwill impairment will be the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. We adopted ASU 2017-04 in the first quarter of 2017 and it did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

As Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

a. ASU 2014-09

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 provides guidance for management to reassess revenue recognition as it relates to: (1) transfer of control, (2) variable consideration, (3) allocation of transaction price based on relative standalone selling price, (4) licenses, (5) time value of money, and (6) contract costs. Further disclosures

ASU 2014-09 will be requiredreplace the current revenue recognition criteria under GAAP, including industry-specific requirements, and provide companies with a single revenue recognition model for recognizing revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that a company should recognize revenue to provide a better understandingdepict the transfer of revenuepromised goods or services to customers in an amount that has been recognized and revenue that is expectedreflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for such goods or services. The two permitted transition methods under ASU 2014-09 are: (i) the full retrospective method, whereby ASU 2014-09 would be applied to each prior reporting period presented and the cumulative effect of adoption would be recognized inat the future from existing contracts.earliest period shown, or (ii) the modified retrospective method, whereby the cumulative effect of applying ASU 2014-09 would be recognized at the date of initial application. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date ("ASU 2015-14"). ASU 2015-14, which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for one year, making itASU 2014-09 effective for us on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted as of January 1, 2017. We will adopt ASU 2014-09 as of January 1, 2018.2018 using the modified retrospective method.

During 2015, we established a project team responsible for the assessment and implementation of ASU 2014-09. We utilized a bottoms-up approach to analyze the impact of ASU 2014-09 on our contracts with customers by reviewing our current accounting policies and practices to identify potential differences that would result from applying the requirements of ASU 2014-09 to our contracts with customers. We are currently evaluatingin the impactprocess of designing and implementing appropriate changes to our business processes, systems and controls to support the accounting and the financial disclosure requirements under ASU 2014-09 will2014-09. We have on our consolidated financial statements.
In August 2014,been closely monitoring the FASB issuedactivity related to specific interpretative issues pertaining to ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation2014-09. During the second half of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles of current United States auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition2016, we substantially completed our evaluation of the term “substantial doubt”, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period, including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is still present, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). ASU 2014-15 is effective for us on January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt ASU 2014-15 as of January 1, 2017. We do not believe thatpotential changes resulting from the adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have an impact2014-09 on our consolidatedaccounting and the financial statements.disclosure requirements and are now moving into the more detailed quantification of the impacts of adopting ASU 2014-09, the more significant of which are discussed below. Based on our analysis to date, we expect that the most significant impacts associated with adopting ASU 2014-09 compared to current GAAP will relate to (i) the deferral of certain commissions on our long-term storage contracts (“Accounting for Commissions”) and (ii) certain policy changes related to initial moves of physical storage, which will be subject to new cost guidance (“Accounting for Initial Moves”).

i. Accounting for Commissions

Under current GAAP, commissions that we pay related to our long-term storage contracts are expensed as incurred. Under ASU 2014-09, however, certain commissions will be capitalized and amortized over the FASB issuedperiod of expected earned revenue. In the year of adoption, this will result in increased intangible contract assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet, a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses and a corresponding increase in amortization expense (assuming consistent levels of spending up through the adoption date) on our Consolidated Statement of Operations and an increase in cash flows from operating activities and a corresponding increase in cash used for investing activities on our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

ii. Accounting for Initial Moves

Under current GAAP, intake costs not charged to transport boxes to one of our facilities, which include labor and transportation costs, are capitalized and amortized as a component of depreciation and amortization in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Under ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments2014-09, however, the revenue and costs associated with all initial moves of physical storage, regardless of whether or not the services associated with such initial moves are provided to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015‑02”). ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are requiredcustomer at no charge, will be deferred and recognized over the period consistent with the transfer of the service to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. We adopted ASU 2015-02the customer to which the asset relates. In the year of adoption, this will result in decreased intangible assets and increased deferred revenue on January 1, 2016. Theour Consolidated Balance Sheet, a reduction in cost of sales and a corresponding increase in amortization expense (assuming consistent levels of spending up through the adoption date) on our Consolidated Statement of ASU 2015-02 did not impactOperations and an increase in cash flows from operating activities and a corresponding increase in cash used for investing activities on our consolidated financial statements.Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes ("ASU 2015-17"). ASU No. 2015-17 eliminates the requirement for reporting entities to present deferred tax liabilities and assets as current and noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. Instead, reporting entities will be required to classify all deferred tax assets and liabilities as noncurrent. The amendments in ASU 2015-17 may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax liabilities and assets or retrospectively to all periods presented. ASU 2015-17 is effective for us on January 1, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2015-17 will have on our consolidated financial statements.b. Other As Yet Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ("ASU 2016-01"). ASU 2016-01 requires that most equity investments be measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value recognized in net income. The pronouncementASU 2016-01 also impacts financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for us on January 1, 2018. We do not believe that the adoption of ASU 2016-01 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ("ASU 2016-02"). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 also will require certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for us on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 and are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements.

We do not believe that the equity method of accounting retrospectively when they obtain significant influence over a previously held investment. Furthermore, under ASU 2016-07, for any available-for-sale securities that become eligible for the equity method of accounting, the unrealized gain or loss recorded within other comprehensive income (loss) associated with the securities should be recognized in earnings at the date the investment initially qualifies for the use of the equity method.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). ASU 2016-15addresses eight specific cash flow changes with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in the practice of how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. We adopted ASU 2016-15 during the third quarter of 2016. ASU 2016-15 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Historically, we have entered into forward contracts to hedge our exposures in Euros, British pounds sterlingcertain foreign currencies. At the maturity of the forward contracts, we may enter into new forward contracts to hedge movements in the underlying currencies. At the time of settlement, we either pay or receive the net settlement amount from the forward contract and Australian dollars.recognize this amount in other expense (income), net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as a realized foreign exchange gain or loss. At the end of each month, we mark the outstanding forward contracts to market and record an unrealized foreign exchange gain or loss for the mark-to-market valuation. We have not designated any of the forward contracts we have entered into as hedges. Our policy is to record the fair value of each derivative instrument on a gross basis. As of December 31, 2015 and September 30, 2016, however, we had no forward contracts outstanding.
Net As of March 31, 2017, we had outstanding forward contracts to purchase 46,000 Canadian dollars and sell $34,439 to hedge our foreign exchange exposures associated with the Canadian dollar. As of March 31, 2017, we recorded a derivative asset of $114 which is a component of Prepaid expenses and other on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017, there were no cash (receipts)receipts or payments included in cash from operating activities from continuing operations related to settlements associated with foreign currency forward contracts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016 are as follows:contracts.

(4) Acquisitions

We account for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities acquired are recorded at their estimated fair values and the results of operations for each acquisition have been included in our consolidated results from their respective acquisition dates. Cash consideration for our various acquisitions in 20162017 was primarily provided through borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facilitycash flows from operating activities and Bridge Facility (each as defined in Note 5),borrowings, as well as cash and cash equivalents on-hand.
a. Acquisition of Recall in 2016

On May 2, 2016 (Sydney, Australia time), we completed the Recall Transaction. At the closing of the Recall Transaction, we paid approximately $331,800 in cash and issued 50,233,412 shares of our common stock which, based on the closing price of our common stock as of April 29, 2016 (the last day of trading on the NYSENew York Stock Exchange prior to the closing of the Recall Transaction) of $36.53 per share, resulted in a total purchase price to Recall shareholders of approximately $2,166,900.

Regulatory Approvals
In connection with the acquisition of Recall, we sought regulatory approval of the Recall Transaction from the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (the “ACCC”), the Canada Competition Bureau (the “CCB”), and the United Kingdom Competition and Markets Authority (the “CMA”).

As part of the regulatory approval process, we agreed to make certain divestments which are described below in greater detail, in order to address competition concerns raised by the DOJ, the ACCC, the CCB and the CMA in respect of the Recall Transaction (the “Divestments”).
See The Divestments, all of which were completed during the year ended December 31, 2016, are defined in Note 6 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report and are described in greater detail within that note, as well as within Note 10 for additional information regarding the Divestments, including the presentation of the Divestments in our Consolidated Balance Sheetthis Quarterly Report, were as of September 30, 2016, our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively, and our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively.follows:

Divestments and Management Pending Sales

i. United States

i.United States
The DOJ’s approval of the Recall Transaction was subject to the following divestments being made by us following the closing of the Recall Transaction:

Recall’s records and information management facilities, including all associated tangible and intangible assets, in the following 13 United States cities: Buffalo, New York; Charlotte, North Carolina; Detroit, Michigan; Durham, North Carolina; Greenville/Spartanburg, South Carolina; Kansas City, Kansas/Missouri; Nashville, Tennessee; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Raleigh, North Carolina; Richmond, Virginia; San Antonio, Texas; Tulsa, Oklahoma; and San Diego, California (the “Initial United States Divestments”); and
Recall’s records and information management facility in Seattle, Washington and certain of Recall’s records and information management facilities in Atlanta, Georgia, including in each case associated tangible and intangible assets (the “Seattle/Atlanta Divestments”).

(4) Acquisitions (Continued)

On May 4, 2016, we completed the sale of the Initial United States Divestments to Access CIG, LLC, a privately held provider of information management services throughout the United States (“Access CIG”), for total consideration of approximately $80,000, subject to adjustments (the “Access Sale”). Of the total consideration, we received $55,000 in cash proceeds upon closing of the Access Sale, and we are entitled to receive up to $25,000 of additional cash proceeds on the 27-month anniversary of the closing of the Access Sale (the "Access Contingent Consideration"). Our estimate of the fair value of the Access Contingent Consideration is approximately $21,400 (which reflects a fair value adjustment of approximately $2,200 and a present value adjustment of approximately $1,400), and accordingly, we have recognized a non-trade receivable included in Other, a component of Other Assets, Net in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2016 for this amount.

The assets subject to the Access Sale were acquired in the Recall Transaction and, therefore, the estimated fair value of the Access Contingent Consideration has been reflected in the allocation of the purchase price for Recall as a component of “Fair Value of Divestments”. Our policy related to the recognition of contingent consideration (from a seller’s perspective) is to recognize contingent consideration at its estimated fair value upon closing of the transaction. Our policy related to the subsequent measurement of contingent consideration (from a seller’s perspective) is (i) to recognize contingent consideration in excess of our original estimate of fair value upon cash receipt of such consideration and (ii) to recognize any impairment of the contingent consideration compared to our original estimate in the period in which we determine such an impairment exists.

The Seattle/Atlanta Divestments will be effected by way of a sale of the tangible and intangible assets associated with the relevant facilities, which include warehouse space as well as customer contracts. We have agreed to place the assets and employees subject to the Seattle/Atlanta Divestments in a hold separate arrangement until the Seattle/Atlanta Divestments are completed.

ii.Australia
In October 2016, we entered into an agreement with a potential buyer that provides for the sale of the Seattle/Atlanta Divestments and the Canadian Divestments (as described and defined below) to such potential buyer. This agreement remains subject to approval by the DOJ and the CCB as well as customary closing conditions and, therefore, we can provide no assurances that the DOJ and the CCB will approve the agreement, or that even with such approval that we will complete the sale on the terms agreed, or at all.

ii. Australia
The ACCC approved the Recall Transaction after accepting an undertaking from us pursuant to section 87B of the Australian Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth) (the “ACCC Undertaking”). Pursuant to the ACCC Undertaking, we agreed to divest the majority of our Australian operations as they existed prior to the closing of the Recall Transaction by way of a share sale, which effectively involves the sale of our Australian business (as it existed prior to the closing of the Recall Transaction) other than our data management business throughout Australia and our records and information management business in the Northern Territory of Australia, except in relation to customers who have holdings in other Australian states or territories (the “Australia Divestment Business” and, with respect to the portion of our Australia business that is not subject to divestment, the “Australia Retained Business”). 

Pursuant to the ACCC Undertaking, any prospective purchaser of the Australia Divestment Business is subject to ACCC approval. On October 24, 2016, we received the requisite clearance from the ACCC to sell the Australia Divestment Business and, on October 31, 2016, we completed the sale of the Australia Divestment Business. See Note 13.

iii. Canada

The CCB approved the Recall Transaction on the basis of the registration of a consent agreement with us pursuant to sections 92 and 105 of the Competition Act (R.S.C., 1985, c. C-34) (the “CCB Consent Agreement”). The CCB Consent Agreement requires us to divest the following assets:

Recall’s record and information management facilities, including associated tangible and intangible assets and employees, in Edmonton, Alberta and Montreal (Laval), Quebec and certain of Recall’s record and information management facilities, including all associated tangible and intangible assets and employees, in Calgary, Alberta and Toronto, Ontario, (the “Recall Canadian Divestments”); and
One of our records and information management facilities in Vancouver (Burnaby), British Columbia and one of our records and information management facilities in Ottawa, Ontario, including associated tangible and intangible assets and employees (the “Iron Mountain Canadian Divestments”).

iii.Canada
The Recall Canadian Divestments and the
The Iron Mountain Canadian Divestments (or collectively, the “Canadian Divestments”) will be affected by way of a sale of only the tangible and intangible assets associated with the relevant facilities, which include warehouse space as well as customer contracts. Under the CCB Consent Agreement, the assets subject of the Canadian Divestments will be acquired by a single buyer to be approved by the Commissioner of Competition (the “Commissioner”).

iv.United Kingdom
Pursuant to the terms of the CCB Consent Agreement, in order to preserve the businesses of the Canadian Divestments, pending completion of a sale of the Canadian Divestments, we must maintain the economic viability and marketability of the businesses of the Canadian Divestments, and we are required to hold the Recall Canadian Divestments separate from those of our other operations. In addition, the business of the Recall Canadian Divestments is being managed by an independent manager selected by us and approved by the Commissioner.

In October 2016, we entered into an agreement with a potential buyer that provides for the sale of the Seattle/Atlanta Divestments and the Canadian Divestments to such potential buyer. This agreement remains subject to approval by the DOJ and the CCB as well as customary closing conditions and, therefore, we can provide no assurances that the DOJ and the CCB will approve the agreement, or that even with such approval that we will complete the sale, on the terms agreed or at all.

iv. United Kingdom

In January 2016, the CMA referred the Recall Transaction for further investigation and report by a group of CMA panel members who were responsible for determining whether the Recall Transaction would result in a substantial lessening of competition within the relevant United Kingdom markets (the “CMA Review”). On March 30, 2016, the CMA announced its conditional consent for the Recall Transaction prior to the CMA’s issuance of its final decision following the CMA Review (the “CMA Consent”). On June 16, 2016, the CMA completed the CMA Review and published its findings. The findings concluded that the Recall Transaction is not expected to result in any substantial lessening of competition outside of North East Scotland, but that the Recall Transaction may result in a substantial lessening of competition in the supply of records management and information management services (including records management and physical offsite data protection services) in the Aberdeen and Dundee areas of Scotland (the “Scotland Affected Areas”). As a result of the CMA’s decision, we will divest Recall’s record and information management facilities, including associated tangible and intangible assets and employees, in the Scotland Affected Areas (the “UK Divestments”).

Pursuant to the CMA Consent, in order to preserve the business of the UK Divestments pending completion of the sale of the UK Divestments, we must maintain the economic viability and marketability of the business of the UK Divestments, and we are required to hold the UK Divestments separate from those of our other operations. In addition, the CMA concluded that a monitoring trustee should be appointed, at our sole expense and subject to CMA approval, to monitor compliance with the CMA’s findings and to ensure a prompt sale of the UK Divestments. We are in discussions with potential buyers for the UK Divestments. Aside from the CMA’s eventual approval of the purchaser of the UK Divestments, this decision marks the completion of the CMA Review.


The unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information (the "Pro Forma Financial Information") below summarizes the combined results of us and Recall on a pro forma basis as if the Recall Transaction had occurred on January 1, 2015. 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, 2015. The Pro Forma Financial Information, for all periods presented, includes adjustments to convert Recall's historical results from International Financial Reporting Standards to GAAP, our current estimates of purchase accounting adjustments (including amortization expenses from acquired intangible assets, depreciation of acquired property, plant and equipment and amortization of favorable and unfavorable operating leases), stock-based compensation and related tax effects. Through September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we and Recall have collectively incurred $137,652$140,661 of operating expenditures to complete the Recall Transaction (including advisory and professional fees and costs to complete the Divestments required in connection with receipt of regulatory approval and to provide transitional services required to support the divested businesses during a transition period). 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, 2015. The costs we have incurred to integrate Recall with our existing operations, including moving, severance, facility upgrade, REIT conversion and system upgrade costs are reflected in the Pro Forma Financial Information in the period in which they were incurred.

The Pro Forma Financial Information, for all periods presented, excludeexcludes from income (loss) from continuing operations the results of operations of the Initial United States Divestments, the Seattle/Atlanta Divestments, the Recall Canadian Divestments and the UK Divestments, as these businesses are presented as discontinued operations. See Note 10 for information regarding our conclusion with respect to the presentation of these divestments as discontinued operations. The results of the Australia Divestment Business and the Iron Mountain Canadian Divestments are included within the results from continuing operations in the Pro Forma Financial Information for all periods presented,through the closing date of the Australia Sale (as defined in Note 10), in the case of the Australia Divestment Business, and through the closing date of the ARKIVE Sale (as defined in Note 10), in the case of the Iron Mountain Canadian Divestments, as these businesses do not qualify for discontinued operations. See Note 10 for information regarding our conclusion that these divestments do not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations. The Australia Divestment Business and the Iron Mountain Canadian Divestments, collectively, represent $23,317 and $50,759$13,376 of total revenues and $3,595 and $5,146$806 of total income from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively,March 31, 2016.

In addition to our acquisition of Recall, we completed certain other acquisitions during 2016. The unaudited pro forma results of operations (including revenue and earnings) for the current and prior periods reflecting these acquisitions and certain acquisitions in 2015 are not presented due to the insignificant impact of these acquisitions on our consolidated results of operations.

b. Other 2016 Acquisitions

In March 2016, we acquired a controlling interest in Docufile Holdings Proprietary Limited ("Docufile"), a storage and records management company with operations in South Africa, for approximately $15,000. The acquisition of Docufile represents our entrance into Africa.

In March 2016, in order to expand our presence in the Baltic region, we acquired the stock of Archyvu Sistemos, a storage and records management company with operations in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, for approximately $5,100.

In August 2016, we reached an agreement in principle under a non-binding memorandum of understanding to acquire the information management operations of Santa Fe Group A/S (“Santa Fe”) in ten regions within Europe and Asia (the “Santa Fe Transaction”) for approximately 27,000 Euro, or approximately $30,300, based upon the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the Euro as of September 30, 2016. Santa Fe operates its information management business in Spain, India, Hong Kong, Macau, Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Taiwan. The memorandum of understanding between us and Santa Fe is non-binding and any binding agreement we enter into with Santa Fe will be subject to closing conditions; accordingly, we can provide no assurance that we will complete this acquisition, that the acquisition will not be delayed or that the terms of the acquisition will not change.

(4) The goodwill associated with acquisitions 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.

Allocations of the purchase price for acquisitions made in 2016 and 2017 were based on estimates of the fair value of the net assets acquired and are subject to adjustment upon the finalization of the purchase price allocations. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgments as to expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocations of those cash flows to identifiable tangible and intangible assets, in determining the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, are based on management's best estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. The estimates and assumptions underlying the initial valuations are subject to the collection of information necessary to complete the valuations within the measurement periods, which are up to one year from the respective acquisition dates. Assets and liabilities that were acquired and classified as held for sale immediately following the Recall Transaction were valued based on the estimated fair value of the divestment, less costs to sell. The preliminary purchase price allocations that are not finalized as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 primarily relate to the final assessment of the fair values of intangible assets (primarily customer relationship intangible assets and trademarks)assets), property, plant and equipment (primarily building and racking structures), operating leases, contingencies and income taxes (primarily deferred income taxes), primarily associated with the Recall Transaction.Transaction and the Santa Fe Transaction, as well as other acquisitions which closed in 2017.

As the valuation of certain assets and liabilities for purposes of purchase price allocations are preliminary in nature, they are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances regarding these assets and liabilities that existed at the acquisition date. Any adjustments to our estimates of purchase price allocation will be made in the periods in which the adjustments are determined and the cumulative effect of such adjustments will be calculated as if the adjustments had been completed as of the acquisition dates. Adjustments recorded during the three months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 were not material to our results from operations.

a. Credit Agreement
On July 2, 2015, we entered into a new credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") to refinance our then existing credit agreementagreement. The Credit Agreement terminates on July 6, 2019, at which consisted of a revolving credit facility (the "Former Revolvingpoint all obligations become due, but may be extended by one year at our option, subject to the conditions set forth in the Credit Facility") and a term loan and was scheduled to terminate on June 27, 2016.Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid without penalty or premium, in whole or in part, at any time. The Credit Agreement consists of a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a term loan (the "Term Loan"). We recorded a charge of $2,156 to other expense (income), net in the third quarter of 2015 related to the refinancing of the Credit Agreement, representing a write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs.
On June 24, 2016, Iron Mountain Information Management, LLC (“IMIM”) entered into a commitment increase supplement (the “Commitment Increase Supplement”), pursuant to which we increased theThe maximum amount permitted to be borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility from $1,500,000 tois $1,750,000. After entering intoThe original amount of the Commitment Increase Supplement, the maximum amount available for borrowing under the Credit Agreement is $2,000,000 (consisting of a Revolving Credit Facility of $1,750,000 and a Term Loan of $250,000).was $250,000. We continue to have the option to request additional commitments of up to $250,000, in the form of term loans or through increased commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to the conditions specified in the Credit Agreement.
The Revolving Credit Facility is supported by a group of 25 banks and enables IMI and certain of its United States and foreign subsidiaries to borrow in United States dollars and (subject to sublimits) a variety of other currencies (including Canadian dollars, British pounds sterling, Euros and Australian dollars, among other currencies) in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed $1,750,000. The Term Loan is to be paid in quarterly installments in an amount equal to $3,125 per quarter, with the remaining balance due on July 3, 2019. The Credit Agreement terminates on July 6, 2019, at which point all obligations become due, but may be extended by one year at our option, subject to the conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may be prepaid without penalty or premium, in whole or in part, at any time.
IMI and the Guarantors guarantee all obligations under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate on borrowings under the Credit Agreement varies depending on our choice of interest rate and currency options, plus an applicable margin, which varies based on our consolidated leverage ratio. Additionally, the Credit Agreement requires the payment of a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which fee ranges from between 0.25% to 0.4% based on our consolidated leverage ratio and fees associated with outstanding letters of credit. As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we had $1,240,761$988,327 and $234,375$228,125 of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan, respectively. Of the $1,240,761$988,327 of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, $718,800$741,000 was denominated in United States dollars 6,000and 231,530 was denominated in Canadian dollars, 255,150 was denominated in Euros and 303,000 was denominated in Australian dollars.Euros. In addition, we also had various outstanding letters of credit totaling $55,392.$53,649. The remaining amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility as of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, which is based on IMI's leverage ratio, the last 12 months' earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and rent expense ("EBITDAR"), other adjustments as defined in the Credit Agreement and current external debt, was $453,847$708,024 (which amount represents the maximum availability as of such date). The average interest rate in effect under the Credit Agreement was 2.9%3.0% as of September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. The average interest rate in effect under the Revolving Credit Facility was 2.9%3.0% and ranged from 2.3% to 4.8%5.0% as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and the interest rate in effect under the Term Loan as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 was 2.8%3.2%.
The capital stock or other equity interests of most of our United States subsidiaries, and up to 66% of the capital stock or other equity interests of most of our first-tier foreign subsidiaries, are pledged to secure borrowings under the Credit Agreement, together with all intercompany obligations (including promissory notes) of subsidiaries owed to us or to one of our United States subsidiary guarantors. In addition, Iron Mountain Canada Operations ULC ("Canada Company") has pledged 66% of the capital stock of its subsidiaries, and all intercompany obligations (including promissory notes) owed to or held by it, to secure the Canadian dollar subfacility under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Credit Agreement, our 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 certain other 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 indentures or other agreements governing our indebtedness. The Credit Agreement uses EBITDAR-based calculations as the primary measures of financial performance, including leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios.

As noted in the table above, our maximum allowable net total lease adjusted leverage ratio under the Credit Agreement is 6.5. The Credit Agreement also contains a provision which limits, in certain circumstances, our dividends in any four consecutive fiscal quarters to 95% of Funds From Operations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for such four fiscal quarters or, if greater, the amount that we would be required to pay in order to continue to be qualified for taxation as a REIT or to avoid the imposition of income or excise taxes on IMI. This limitation only is applicableapplies when our net total lease adjusted leverage ratio exceeds 6.0 as measured as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter.
Noncompliance with these leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity.

b. Bridge Facility
On April 19, 2016, in order to provide a portion of the financing necessary to close the Recall Transaction, we entered into a commitment letter with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as a lender and administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto (the "Lenders"), pursuant to which the Lenders committed to provide us an unsecured bridge term loan facility of up to $850,000 (the "Bridge Facility"). On April 29, 2016, we entered into a bridge credit agreement (the “Bridge Credit Agreement”) with the Lenders and borrowed the full amount of the Bridge Facility. We used the proceeds from the Bridge Facility, together with borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, to finance a portion of the cost of the Recall Transaction, including refinancing Recall’s existing indebtedness and to pay costs we incurred in connection with the Recall Transaction.
On May 31, 2016, we used the proceeds from the issuance of the 4 ⅜% Notes and the 5 ⅜% Notes, together with cash on hand and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, to repay the Bridge Facility, and effective May 31, 2016, we terminated the commitments of the lenders under the Bridge Credit Agreement. We recorded a charge to other expense (income), net of $9,283 during the second quarter of 2016 related to the early extinguishment of the Bridge Credit Agreement. This charge primarily consisted of the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs.

The 43/8% Notes and 53/8% Notes were issued at par. The aggregate net proceeds of $738,750 from the 43/8% Notes and 53/8% Notes, after paying the initial purchasers' commissions, were used, together with cash on hand and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, for the repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the Bridge Credit Agreement.

The AUD Term Loan was issued at 99% of par. The net proceeds of approximately 243,750 Australian dollars (or approximately $185,800, based upon the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the United States dollar on September 28, 2016 (the settlement date for the AUD Term Loan)), after paying commissions to the joint lead arrangers and net of the original discount, were used to repay outstanding borrowings onunder the Revolving Credit Facility in October 2016 and for general corporate purposes.
Principal payments on the AUD Term Loan are to be paid in quarterly installments in an amount equivalent to an aggregate of 6,250 Australian dollars per year, with the remaining balance due on September 28, 2022. The AUD Term Loan is secured by substantially all assets of Iron Mountain Australia Group Pty. Ltd. IMI and the Guarantors guarantee all obligations under the AUD Term Loan. The interest rate on borrowings under the AUD Term Loan is based upon BBSY (an Australian benchmark variable interest rate) plus 4.3%. As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we had 250,000246,875 Australian dollars ($188,715 based upon the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as of March 31, 2017) outstanding on the AUD Term Loan and the interest rate in effect under the AUD Term Loan was 6.1%.

The amount of debt for the AUD Term Loan reflects an unamortized original issue discount of $1,725 and $1,752 as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, respectively.

e.c. Accounts Receivable Securitization Program
In March 2015, we entered into a $250,000 accounts receivable securitization program (the "Accounts Receivable Securitization Program") involving several of our wholly owned subsidiaries and certain financial institutions. Under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program, certain of our subsidiaries sell substantially all of their United States accounts receivable balances to our wholly owned special purpose entities, Iron Mountain Receivables QRS, LLC and Iron Mountain Receivables TRS, LLC (the "Special"Accounts Receivable Securitization Special Purpose Subsidiaries"). The Accounts Receivable Securitization Special Purpose Subsidiaries use the accounts receivable balances to collateralize loans obtained from certain financial institutions. The Accounts Receivable Securitization Special Purpose Subsidiaries are consolidated subsidiaries of IMI. The Accounts Receivable Securitization Program is accounted for as a collateralized financing activity, rather than a sale of assets, and therefore: (i) accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral are presented as assets and borrowings are presented as liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) our Consolidated Statements of Operations reflect the associated charges for bad debt expense related to pledged accounts receivable (a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) and reductions to revenue due to billing and service related credit memos issued to customers and related reserves, as well as interest expense associated with the collateralized borrowings and (iii) receipts from customers related to the underlying accounts receivable are reflected as operating cash flows and borrowings and repayments under the collateralized loans are reflected as financing cash flows within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. IMIMIron Mountain Information Management, LLC ("IMIM") retains the responsibility of servicing the accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral in this transaction and IMI provides a performance guaranty. The Accounts Receivable Securitization Program terminates on March 6, 2018, at which point all obligations become due. The maximum availability allowed is limited by eligible accounts receivable, as defined under the terms of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program. As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, the maximum availability allowed and amount outstanding under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program was $208,800.$250,000. The interest rate in effect under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program was 1.4%1.9% as of September 30, 2016. Commitment fees atMarch 31, 2017.

In October 2016, we entered into a rate of 40 basis points are charged on amounts made available but not borrowed under the Accounts Receivable$50,000 mortgage securitization program (the "Mortgage Securitization Program.
f. Cash Pooling
Subsequent to the closing of the Recall Transaction,Program") involving certain of our internationalwholly owned subsidiaries began participatingwith Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company (“Goldman Sachs”). Under the Mortgage Securitization Program, IMIM contributed certain real estate assets to its wholly owned special purpose entity, Iron Mountain Mortgage Finance I, LLC (the "Mortgage Securitization Special Purpose Subsidiary"). The Mortgage Securitization Special Purpose Subsidiary then used the real estate to secure a collateralized loan obtained from Goldman Sachs. The Mortgage Securitization Special Purpose Subsidiary is a consolidated subsidiary of IMI. The Mortgage Securitization Program is accounted for as a collateralized financing activity, rather than a sale of assets and therefore: (i) real estate assets pledged as collateral remain as assets and borrowings are presented as liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) our Consolidated Statement of Operations reflects the associated charges for depreciation expense related to the pledged real estate and interest expense associated with the collateralized borrowings and (iii) borrowings and repayments under the collateralized loans are reflected as financing cash flows within our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The Mortgage Securitization Program is scheduled to terminate on November 6, 2026, at which point all obligations become due. As of March 31, 2017, the outstanding amount under the Mortgage Securitization Program was $50,000. The interest rate in aeffect under the Mortgage Securitization Program was 3.5% as of March 31, 2017.

e. Cash Pooling
Certain of our subsidiaries participate in cash pooling arrangementarrangements (the “Cash Pool”Pools”) with Bank Mendes Gans (“BMG”), an independently operated fully-owned subsidiary of ING Group, in order to help manage global liquidity requirements. TheUnder the Cash Pool allowsPools, cash deposited by participating subsidiaries to borrow funds from BMG against amounts held on deposit with BMG byis pledged as security against the drawings of other participating subsidiaries. The Cash Pool has asubsidiaries, and legal rightrights of offset are provided and, therefore, amounts are presented in our Consolidated Balance SheetSheets on a net basis. Each subsidiary receives interest on the cash balances held on deposit or pays interest on the amounts owed based on an applicable rate as defined in the Cash Pool agreement.Pools. At September 30,December 31, 2016, we had a net cash position of approximately $18,900 (consisting$1,700 (which consisted of a gross cash position of approximately $50,700$69,500 less outstanding borrowings of approximately $31,800$67,800 by participating subsidiaries),.

During the first quarter of 2017, we significantly expanded our utilization of the Cash Pools and reduced our utilization of our financing centers in Europe for purposes of meeting our global liquidity requirements. As of March 31, 2017, we utilize two separate cash pools with BMG, one of which iswe utilize to manage global liquidity requirements for our QRSs (the "QRS Cash Pool") and one pool for our TRSs (the "TRS Cash Pool"). As of March 31, 2017, we had a net cash position of approximately $5,400 in the QRS Cash Pool (which consisted of a gross cash position of approximately $478,200 less outstanding borrowings of approximately $472,800 by participating subsidiaries) and we had a net cash position of approximately $11,100 in the TRS Cash Pool (which consisted of a gross cash position of approximately $217,300 less outstanding borrowings of approximately $206,200 by participating subsidiaries). The net cash position balances as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, respectively, are reflected as cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.Sheets.

(6) Selected Consolidated Financial Statements of Parent, Guarantors, Canada Company and Non-Guarantors

The following data summarizes the consolidating results of IMI on the equity method of accounting as of December 31, 20152016 and September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and 20162017 and are prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements.
The Parent Notes, the CAD Notes, GBP Notes and the 53/8% Notes are guaranteed by the subsidiaries referred to below as the Guarantors. These subsidiaries aredirect and indirect 100% owned by IMI.United States subsidiaries of IMI, that represent the substantial majority of our United States operations (the "Guarantors"). The guarantees are full and unconditional, as well as joint and several.
Additionally, IMI guarantees the CAD Notes, which were issued by Canada Company, the GBP Notes, which were issued by IME,Iron Mountain Europe PLC ("IME"), and the 53/8% Notes, which were issued by IMIron Mountain US Holdings.Holdings, Inc. which is one of the Guarantors. Canada Company and IME do not guarantee the Parent Notes. The subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Parent Notes, the CAD Notes, the GBP Notes and the 53/8% Notes, including IME, and the Accounts Receivable Securitization Special Purpose Subsidiaries and the Mortgage Securitization Special Purpose Subsidiary, but excluding Canada Company, are referred to below as the Non-Guarantors."Non-Guarantors".
In the normal course of business, we periodically change the ownership structure of our subsidiaries to meet the requirements of our business. In the event of such changes, we recast the prior period financial information within this footnote to conform to the current period presentation in the period such changes occur. Generally, these changes do not alter the designation of the underlying subsidiaries as Guarantors or Non-Guarantors. However, they may change whether the underlying subsidiary is owned by the Parent, a Guarantor, Canada Company or a Non-Guarantor. If such a change occurs, the amount of investment in subsidiaries in the below Consolidated Balance Sheets and equity in the earnings (losses) of subsidiaries, net of tax in the below Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) Income with respect to the relevant Parent, Guarantors, Canada Company, Non-Guarantors and Eliminations columns also would change.
In July 2016, certain Non-Guarantor subsidiaries which were originally established at the time of our acquisition of Crozier Fine Arts (“Crozier”) in December 2015 (the “Crozier Entities”), were merged into IMIM, a Guarantor and a substantive operating entity (the “Crozier Merger”). As a result of the Crozier Merger, (i) the assets, liabilities and equity of the Crozier Entities are now reported in the Guarantor column ofwe have recast the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2016; (ii) the revenues and expenses of the Crozier Entities are now reported in the Guarantor column in the accompanying Consolidated StatementsStatement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016;March 31, 2016 and (iii) the cash flows of the Crozier Entities are now reported in the Guarantor column in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016. We have recast the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of DecemberMarch 31, 20152016 to conform to the current period presentation of the Crozier Entities. We acquired Crozier in December 2015; therefore, the Crozier Merger had no impact on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

(7) Segment Information

During the fourth quarter of 2015, as a result of changes in the senior management of our business in Norway, we determined that our Norway operations are now being managed as a component of our Other International Business segment rather than as a component of our Western European Business segment. As a result of this change, previously reported segment information has been restated to conform to the current presentation. There were no changes to our operating segments or our reportable operating segments as a result of the Recall Transaction.
Our five reportable operating segments as of December 31, 2016 are described in Note 9 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report and are as follows:
North American Records and Information Management Business—provides records and information management services, including the storage of physical records, including media such as microfilm and microfiche, master audio and videotapes, film, X-rays and blueprints, including healthcare information services, vital records services, service and courier operations, and the collection, handling and disposal of sensitive documents for corporate customers (“Records Management”); information destruction services (“Destruction”); and DMS throughout the United States and Canada; as well as fulfillment services and technology escrow services in the United States.Business
North American Data Management Business—provides storage and rotation of backup computer media as part of corporate disaster recovery plans, including service and courier operations (“Data Protection & Recovery”); server and computer backup services; digital content repository systems to house, distribute, and archive key media assets; and storage, safeguarding and electronic or physical delivery of physical media of all types, primarily for entertainment and media industry clients, throughout the United States and Canada.Business
Western European Business—provides records and information management services, including Records Management, Data Protection & Recovery and DMS throughout Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, as well as DMS in Sweden.Business
Other International Business—provides records and information management services throughout the remaining European countries in which we operate, Latin America, Asia Pacific and Africa, including Records Management, Data Protection & Recovery and DMS. Our European operations provide records and information management services, including Records Management, Data Protection & Recovery and DMS throughout the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Norway, Poland, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovakia, Turkey and Ukraine; Records Management and DMS in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania; and Records Management in Sweden. Our Latin America operations provide records and information management services, including Records Management, Data Protection & Recovery, Destruction and DMS throughout Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru. Our Asia Pacific operations provide records and information management services, including Records Management, Data Protection & Recovery and DMS throughout Australia and New Zealand, with Records Management and Data Protection & Recovery also provided in certain markets in China, Hong Kong-SAR, India, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand. Our African operations provide Records Management, Data Protection & Recovery, and DMS in South Africa.Business
Corporate and Other Business—primarily consistsBusiness

There have been no changes made to our reportable operating segments since December 31, 2016. The operations associated with acquisitions completed during the first three months of 2017 (which are described in Note 4) have been incorporated into our existing reportable operating segments.

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the United States, the primary product offeringsNote 2 and in our Annual Report. Adjusted EBITDA for each segment is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and also excludes certain items that we believe are not indicative of our Adjacent Businessescore operating segment,results, specifically: (i) (gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment (excluding real estate), net; (ii) intangible impairments; (iii) other (income) expense, net; (iv) gain on sale of real estate, net of tax; and (v) Recall Costs (as defined below). Internally, we use Adjusted EBITDA as well as costs relatedthe basis for evaluating the performance of, and allocating resources to, executive and staff functions, including finance, human resources and information technology, which benefit the enterprise as a whole. These costs are primarily related to the general management of these functions on a corporate level and the design and development of programs, policies and procedures that are then implemented in the individual segments, with each segment bearing its own cost of implementation. Our Corporate and Other Business segment also includes stock-based employee compensation expense associated with all Employee Stock-Based Awards.

(1)Excludes all intercompany receivables or payables and investment in subsidiary balances.

(2)
During the fourth quarter of 2015, we adopted ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 requires debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a reduction of the related debt liability rather than an asset. Total assets as of September 30, 2015 for the Western European Business, Other International Business and Corporate and Other Business segments have been reduced by $9,215, $548, and $56,105, respectively, to reflect the adoption of ASU 2015-03.
(3)Cash paid for acquisitions, net of cash acquired for the Other International Business segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 primarily consists of the cash component of the purchase price for the Recall Transaction, as the IMI entity that made the cash payment was an Australian subsidiary. However, the Recall Transaction also benefited the North American Records and Information Management Business, North American Data Management Business and Western European Business segments.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report. Adjusted OIBDA for each segment is defined as operating income before depreciation, amortization, intangible impairments, (gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment (excluding real estate), net, costs associated with our conversion to a REIT, excluding REIT compliance costs beginning January 1, 2014 which we expect to recur in future periods ("REIT Costs") and Recall Costs (as defined below) directly attributable to the segment. Internally, we use Adjusted OIBDA as the basis for evaluating the performance of, and allocating resources to, our operating segments.
A reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDAEBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations before provision (benefit) for income taxes and gain on sale of real estatea consolidated basis is as follows:

(8) Commitments and Contingencies

a.    Litigation—General

We are involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business. A portion of the defense and/or
settlement costs associated with such litigation is covered by various commercial liability insurance policies purchased by us
and, in limited cases, indemnification from third parties. Our policy is to establish reserves for loss contingencies when the
losses are both probable and reasonably able to be estimated. We record legal costs associated with loss contingencies as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. The matters described below represent our significant loss contingencies. We have evaluated each matter and, if both probable and estimable,reasonably able to be estimated, accrued an amount that represents our estimate of any probable loss associated with such matter. In addition, we have estimated a reasonably possible range for all loss contingencies including those described below. We believe it is reasonably possible that we could incur aggregate losses in addition to amounts currently accrued for all matters up to an additional $21,000$20,000 over the next several years, of which certain amounts would be covered by insurance or indemnity arrangements.
b. Italy Fire
On November 4, 2011, we experienced a fire at a facility we leased in Aprilia, Italy. The facility primarily stored archival and inactive business records for local area businesses. Despite quick response by local fire authorities, damage to the building was extensive, and the building and its contents were a total loss. We have been sued by five customers. Four of those lawsuits have been settled and one, a claim asserted by Azienda per i Transporti Autoferrotranviari del Comune di Roma, S.p.A, seeking 42,600 Euros for the loss of its current and historical archives, remains pending. We have also received correspondence from other affected customers, including certain customers demanding payment under various theories of liability. Although our warehouse legal liability insurer has reserved its rights to contest coverage related to certain types of potential claims, we believe we carry adequate insurance. We deny any liability with respect to the fire and we have referred these claims to our warehouse legal liability insurer for an appropriate response. We do not expect that this event will have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We sold our Italian operations on April 27, 2012, and we indemnified the buyers related to certain obligations and contingencies associated with the fire. As a result of the sale of the Italian operations, any future statement of operations and cash flow impacts related to the fire will be reflected as discontinued operations.
c. Argentina Fire
On February 5, 2014, we experienced a fire at a facility we own in Buenos Aires, Argentina. As a result of the quick response by local fire authorities, the fire was contained before the entire facility was destroyed and all employees were safely evacuated; however, a number of first responders lost their lives, or in some cases, were severely injured. The cause of the fire is currently being investigated. We believe we carry adequate insurance and do not expect that this event will have a material impact to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Revenues from our operations at this facility represent less than 0.5% of our consolidated revenues.
d. Brooklyn Fire (Recall)
On January 31, 2015, a former Recall leased facility located in Brooklyn, New York was completely destroyed by a fire. Approximately 900,000 cartons of customer records were lost impacting approximately 1,200 customers. No one was injured as a result of the fire. We believe we carry adequate insurance to cover any losses resulting from the fire. There are three pending customer-related lawsuits stemming from the fire, which are being defended by our warehouse legal liability insurer. We have also received correspondence from other customers, under various theories of liability. We deny any liability with respect to the fire and we have referred these claims to our insurer for an appropriate response. We do not expect that this event will have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

e. Roye Fire (Recall)

On January 28, 2002, a former leased Recall records management facility located in Roye, France was destroyed by a fire.
Local French authorities conducted an investigation relating to the fire and issued a charge of criminal negligence for non-compliance with security regulations against us.the Recall entity that leased the facility. We intend to defend this matter
vigorously. We are currently corresponding with various customers impacted by the fire who are seeking payment under various
theories of liability. There is also pending civil litigation with the owner of the destroyed facility, who is demanding payment
for lost rental income and other items. Based on known and expected claims and our expectation of the ultimate outcome of
those claims, we believe we carry adequate insurance coverage. We do not expect that this event will have a material impact on
our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
(9) Stockholders' Equity Matters
Our board of directors has adopted a dividend policy under which we have paid, and in the future intend to pay, quarterly cash dividends on our common stock. The amount and timing of future dividends will continue to be subject to the approval of our board of directors, in its sole discretion, and to applicable legal requirements.

(10) Divestments
As disclosed in Note 4, in connection with the acquisition of Recall, we sought regulatory approval of the Recall Transaction from the DOJ, the ACCC, the CCB and the CMA and, as part of the regulatory approval process, we agreed to make the Divestments.
The assetsOn May 4, 2016, we completed the sale of the Initial United States Divestments to Access CIG, LLC, a privately held provider of information management services throughout the United States (“Access CIG”), for total consideration of approximately $80,000, subject to adjustments (the “Access Sale”). Of the total consideration, we received $55,000 in cash proceeds upon closing of the Access Sale, and liabilities relatedwe are entitled to receive up to $25,000 of additional cash proceeds on the Seattle/Atlanta Divestments,27-month anniversary of the Australia Divestment Business,closing of the Canadian DivestmentsAccess Sale (the "Access Contingent Consideration"). Our estimate of the fair value of the Access Contingent Consideration is approximately $21,400 (which reflects a fair value adjustment of approximately $2,200 and the UK Divestments area present value adjustment of approximately $1,400). We have a non-trade receivable amounting to $22,000 included in Other, a component of Other Assets, Net in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2016.

(1)The Access Sale occurred nearly simultaneously with the closing of the Recall Transaction. Accordingly, the revenue and expenses associated with the Initial United States Divestments are not included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, and the cash flows associated with the Initial United States Divestments are not included in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, due to the immaterial nature of the revenues, expenses and cash flows related to the Initial United States Divestments for the period of time we owned these businesses (May 2, 2016 through May 4, 2016).

(11) Transformation Initiative

During the third quarter of 2015, we implemented a plan that calls for certain organizational realignments to reduce our overhead costs, particularly in our developed markets, in order to optimize our selling, general and administrative cost structure and to support investments to advance our growth strategy (the “Transformation Initiative”), which is expected to be completed by the end of 2017. As a result of the Transformation Initiative, we recorded a charge of $9,080 for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and a charge of $188 and $6,007 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively, primarily related to employee severance and associated benefits. Costs included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations associated with the Transformation Initiative are as follows:

(13) Subsequent Events
Mortgage Securitization Program
In October 2016, we entered into a $50,000 mortgage securitization program (the "Mortgage Securitization Program") involving certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries with Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company (“Goldman Sachs”). Under the Mortgage Securitization Program, IMIM contributed certain real estate assets to its wholly owned special purpose entity, Iron Mountain Mortgage Finance I, LLC (the "Mortgage Special Purpose Subsidiary"). The Mortgage Special Purpose Subsidiary then used the real estate to secure collateralized loans from Goldman Sachs. The Mortgage Special Purpose Subsidiary is a consolidated subsidiary of IMI. Borrowings under the Mortgage Securitization Program bear interest at 3.5%. The Mortgage Securitization Program is scheduled to terminate in November 2026. Proceeds from the Mortgage Securitization Program will be used to repay outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility.
Australia Sale
On October 31, 2016, after receiving approval of the proposed transaction from the ACCC, we completed the sale of the Australia Divestment Business (the “Australia Sale”) to a consortium led by Housatonic Partners (the “Buyers”) for total consideration of approximately 70,000 Australian dollars (or approximately $53,200, based upon the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as of October 31, 2016), subject to adjustments. The purchase price consists of (i) 35,000 Australian dollars in cash received upon the closing of the Australia Sale and (ii) 35,000 Australian dollars in the form of a note due from the Buyers to us (the “Bridging Loan Note”). The Bridging Loan Note bears interest at 3.3% per annum and matures on December 29, 2017, at which point all outstanding obligations become due. The purchase price for the Australia Sale is subject to certain adjustments, including a working capital adjustment and adjustments associated with customer attrition subsequent to the closing of the Australia Sale. We recorded a charge of $14,000 associated with the anticipated loss on disposal of the Australia Divestment Business during the quarter ended September 30, 2016, representing the excess of the carrying value of the Australia Divestment Business compared to its fair value (less costs to sell) as of September 30, 2016, based upon the sale price described above.

(1)Includes adjustments made to amounts accrued in a prior period.
(2)Accrued liabilities related to Recall Costs as of March 31, 2017 presented in the table above generally related to employee severance costs and onerous lease liabilities. We expect that the majority of these liabilities will be paid throughout 2017. Additional Recall Costs recorded in our Consolidated Statement of Operations have either been settled in cash during the three months ended March 31, 2017 or are included in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2017 as a component of accounts payable.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, included herein, and for the year ended December 31, 2015,2016, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 26, 201623, 2017 (our "Annual Report").
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We have made statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Report") that constitute "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. These forward-looking statements concern our operations, economic performance, financial condition, goals, beliefs, future growth strategies, investment objectives, plans and current expectations, such as our (1) commitment to future dividend payments, (2) expected 20162017 consolidated internal storage rental revenue growth rate and capital expenditures, (3) statements made in relation toestimate of total acquisition and integration expenditures associated with our acquisition of Recall Holdings Limited ("Recall") pursuant to the Scheme Implementation Deed, as amended, with Recall (the "Recall Transaction") including (i) the total cost to integrate the combined companies and (ii) the expected proceeds from the Divestments (as defined in Note 4 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report) associated with the Recall Transaction, and (4) expected cost savings associated with the Transformation Initiative (as defined below). These forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. When we use words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates" or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our expected results may not be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from our expectations. In addition, important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, among others:
our ability to remain qualified for taxation as a real estate investment trust for United States federal income tax purposes ("REIT");
the adoption of alternative technologies and shifts by our customers to storage of data through non-paper based technologies;
changes in customer preferences and demand for our storage and information management services;
the cost to comply with current and future laws, regulations and customer demands relating to data security and privacy issues, as well as fire and safety standards;
the impact of litigation or disputes that may arise in connection with incidents in which we fail to protect our customers' information;
changes in the price for our storage and information management services relative to the cost of providing such storage and information management services;
changes in the political and economic environments in the countries in which our international subsidiaries operate;operate and changes in the global political climate;
our ability or inability to complete acquisitions on satisfactory terms and to integrate acquired companies efficiently;
changes in the amount of our capital expenditures;
changes in the cost of our debt;
the impact of alternative, more attractive investments on dividends;
the cost or potential liabilities associated with real estate necessary for our business;
the performance of business partners upon whom we depend for technical assistance or management expertise outside the United States;
changes in the valuation of records and information businesses which could impact the proceeds we will receive from the Divestments; and
other trends in competitive or economic conditions affecting our financial condition or results of operations not presently contemplated.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements except as statements of our present intentions and of our present expectations, which may or may not occur. You should read these cautionary statements as being applicable to all forward-looking statements wherever they appear. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to release publicly the result of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures we have made in this Quarterly Report, as well as our other periodic reports filed with the SEC including under "Risk Factors" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on April 28, 2016 and in our Annual Report.

Overview
The following discussions set forth, for the periods indicated, management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. Significant trends and changes are discussed for the three and nine month periodsperiod ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 within each section. Trends and changes that are consistent with the three and nine month periods are not repeated and are discussed on a year to date basis.
Recall Acquisition
On May 2, 2016 (Sydney, Australia time), we completed the Recall Transaction. At the closing of the Recall Transaction, we paid approximately $331.8 million and issued approximately 50.2 million shares of our common stock which, based upon the closing price of our common stock as of April 29, 2016 (the last day of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") prior to the closing of the Recall Transaction) of $36.53 per share, resulted in a total purchase price to Recall shareholders of approximately $2,166.9 million.
We account for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities acquired are recorded at their estimated fair values and the results of operations for each acquisition have been included in our consolidated results from their respective acquisition dates. With respect to the acquisition of Recall, theThe results of operations of Recall have been included in our consolidated results from May 2, 2016. See Note 4 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for unaudited pro forma results of operations for us and Recall, as if the Recall Transaction was completed on January 1, 2015, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2016, respectively.March 31, 2016.
We currently estimate total operatingacquisition and capitalintegration expenditures associated with the Recall Transaction to be approximately $380.0 million, the majority of which is expected to be incurred by the end of 2018. This amount consists of (i) approximately $80.0 million of operating expenditures to complete the Recall Transaction, including advisory and professional fees and costs to complete the Divestments required(as defined in connection with receipt of regulatory approval andNote 4 to provideNotes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report) including transitional services required to support the divested businesses during a transition period (“Recall Deal Close & Divestment Costs”), (ii) approximately $220.0 million ofand operating expenditures to integrate Recall with our existing operations, including moving, severance, facility upgrade, REIT conversion and system upgrade costs (“("Recall Integration Costs” and, collectively with Recall Deal Close & Divestment Costs, “Recall Costs”Costs") and (iii) approximately $80.0 million of(ii) capital expenditures to integrate Recall with our existing operations. From January 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we have incurred cumulative operating and capital expenditures associated with the Recall Transaction of $156.9$224.2 million, including $149.9$199.5 million of Recall Costs and $7.0$24.7 million of capital expenditures.
See Note 1211 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for more information on Recall Costs, including costs recorded by segment as well as recorded between cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses.
Divestments Associated with the Recall Transaction
As disclosed in Note 4 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report, we sought regulatory approval of the Recall Transaction and, as part of the regulatory approval process, we agreed to make the Divestments.

The Initial United States Divestments, the Seattle/Atlanta Divestments, the Recall Canadian Divestments and the UK Divestments (each as defined in Note 6 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report) (collectively, the "Recall Divestments") meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations as the Recall Divestments met the criteria to be reported as assets and liabilities held for sale at, or within a short period of time following, the closing of the Recall Transaction. Accordingly, the results of operations for the Recall Divestments are presented as a component of
discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and the cash flows associated with the Recall Divestments are presented as a component of cash flows from discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

The Australia Divestment Business and the Iron Mountain Canadian Divestments (each as defined in Note 6 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report) (collectively, the "Iron Mountain Divestments") do not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations as our decision to divest the Iron Mountain Divestments does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. Accordingly, the revenues and expenses associated with the Iron Mountain Divestments are presented as a component of income (loss) from continuing operations in our Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the cash flows associated with the Iron Mountain Divestments are presented as a component of cash flows from continuing operations in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The Australia Divestment Business represents approximately $12.2 million of total revenues and approximately $0.1 million of total income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The Iron Mountain Canadian Divestments represent approximately $1.2 million of total revenues and approximately $0.7 million of total income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The Australia Divestment Business was previously included in our Other International Business segment and the Iron Mountain Canadian Divestments were previously included in our North American Records and Information Management Business segment.

See Note 10 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding the presentation of the Divestments in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Transformation Initiative
During the third quarter of 2015, we implemented a plan that calls for certain organizational realignments to reduce our overhead costs by $125.0 million by the end of 2017, particularly in our developed markets, in order to optimize our selling, general and administrative cost structure and to support investments to advance our growth strategy (the "Transformation Initiative"), which is expected to be completed by the end of 2017.. As a result of the Transformation Initiative, we recorded a charge of $0.2 million and $6.0$5.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2016, respectively, and a charge of $9.1 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, primarily related to employee severance and associated benefits. See Note 11 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for more informationWe are on costs related to the Transformation Initiative, including costs recorded by segment as well as between cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses.
As we quantify incremental costs associated with future Transformation Initiative actionstarget to achieve our $125.0 million cost reduction goal we will discloseby the relevant cost estimates and charges in the period that such actions are approved.end of 2017.
General
During the fourth quarter of 2015, as a result of changes in the senior management of our business in Norway, we determined that our Norway operations are now being managed as a component of our Other International Business segment rather than as a component of our Western European Business segment. As a result of this change, previously reported segment information has been restated to conform to the current presentation. There were no changes to our operating segments or our reportable operating segments as a result of the Recall Transaction.

Our revenues consist of storage rental revenues as well as service revenues and are reflected net of sales and value added taxes. Storage rental revenues, which are considered a key driver of financial performance for the storage and information management services industry, consist primarily of recurring periodic rental charges related to the storage of materials or data (generally on a per unit basis) that are typically retained by customers for many years and technology escrow services that protect and manage source code. Service revenues include charges for related service activities, which include: (1) the handling of records, including the addition of new records, temporary removal of records from storage, refiling of removed records and the destruction of records; (2) courier operations, consisting primarily of the pickup and delivery of records upon customer request; (3) secure shredding of sensitive documents and the related sale of recycled paper, the price of which can fluctuate from period to period; (4) other services, including the scanning, imaging and document management solutions,conversion services of active and inactive records, or Information Governance and Digital Solutions, which relate to physical and digital records, and project revenues; (5) customer termination and permanent removal fees; (6) data restoration projects; (7) special project work; (8) the storage, assembly, reporting and detailed reportingdelivery of customer marketing literature, and delivery to sales offices, trade shows and prospective customers' sites based on current and prospective customer orders;or fulfillment services; (9) consulting services; and (10) other technology services and product sales (including specially designed storage containers and related supplies). Our service revenue growth has been negatively impacted by declining activity rates as stored records are becoming less active. While customers continue to store their records and tapes with us, they are less likely than they have been in the past to retrieve records for research and other purposes, thereby reducing service activity levels.
Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) consists primarily of wages and benefits for field personnel, facility occupancy costs (including rent and utilities), transportation expenses (including vehicle leases and fuel), other product cost of sales and other equipment costs and supplies. Of these, wages and benefits and facility occupancy costs are the most significant. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of wages and benefits for management, administrative, information technology, sales, account management and marketing personnel, as well as expenses related to communications and data processing, travel, professional fees, bad debts, training, office equipment and supplies. Trends in facility occupancy costs are impacted by the total number of facilities we occupy, the mix of properties we own versus properties we occupy under operating leases, fluctuations in per square foot occupancy costs, and the levels of utilization of these properties. Trends in total wages and benefits in dollars and as a percentage of total consolidated revenue are influenced by changes in headcount and compensation levels, achievement of incentive compensation targets, workforce productivity and variability in costs associated with medical insurance and workers' compensation.

The expansion of our international businesses has impacted the major cost of sales components and selling, general and administrative expenses. Our international operations are more labor intensive than our operations in North America and, therefore, labor costs are a higher percentage of international segment revenue. In addition, the overhead structure of our expanding international operations has not achieved the same level of overhead leverage as our North American segments, which may result in an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of consolidated revenue, as our international operations become a more meaningful percentage of our consolidated results.

Our depreciation and amortization charges result primarily from the capital-intensive nature of our business. The principal components of depreciation relate to storage systems, which include racking structures, buildings, building and leasehold improvements and computer systems hardware and software and buildings.software. Amortization relates primarily to customer relationship intangible assets. Both depreciation and amortization are impacted by the timing of acquisitions.


Our consolidated revenues and expenses are subject to variations caused by the net effect of foreign currency translation on revenues and expenses incurred by our entities outside the United States. It is difficult to predict the future fluctuations of foreign currency exchange rates and how those fluctuations will impact our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of the relative size of our international operations, these fluctuations may be material on individual balances. Our revenues and expenses from our international operations are generally denominated in the local currency of the country in which they are derived or incurred. Therefore, the impact of currency fluctuations on our operating income and operating margin is partially mitigated. In order to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, we compare the percentage change in the results from one period to another period in this report using constant currency presentation. The constant currency growth rates are calculated by translating the 20152016 results at the 20162017 average exchange rates. Constant currency growth rates are a non-GAAP measure.

Adjusted OIBDAEBITDA
Adjusted OIBDAEBITDA is defined as operating income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, intangible impairments, (gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment (excluding real estate), net, Recall Costs and REIT Costs (as defined in Note 7 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report). Adjusted OIBDA does not includealso excludes certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results, specifically: (1)(i) (gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment (excluding real estate), net; (2)(ii) intangible impairments; (iii) other (income) expense, net; (iv) gain on sale of real estate, net of tax; (3) intangible impairments; (4)and (v) Recall Costs; (5) REIT Costs; (6) other expense (income), net; (7) income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax; (8) gain (loss) on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax; and (9) net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests.Costs. Adjusted OIBDAEBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted OIBDAEBITDA by total revenues. We use multiples of current or projected Adjusted OIBDAEBITDA in conjunction with our discounted cash flow models to determine our estimated overall enterprise valuation and to evaluate acquisition targets. We believe Adjusted OIBDAEBITDA and Adjusted OIBDAEBITDA Margin provide our current and potential investors with relevant and useful information regarding our ability to generate cash flow to support business investment. These measures are an integral part of the internal reporting system we use to assess and evaluate the operating performance of our business.

Adjusted OIBDA also does not includeEBITDA 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. Finally, Adjusted OIBDAEBITDA 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 OIBDAEBITDA and Adjusted OIBDAEBITDA 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 orincome, income (loss) from continuing operations, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities from continuing operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP).

Adjusted EPS
Adjusted EPS is defined as reported earnings per share fully diluted from continuing operations excluding: (1) (gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment (excluding real estate), net; (2) gain on sale of real estate, net of tax; (3) intangible impairments; (4) other (income) expense, (income), net; (5) Recall Costs; (6) REIT Costs; and (7)(6) the tax impact of reconciling items and discrete tax items. Adjusted EPS includes income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. 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.

(1)The difference between our effective tax rate and our structural tax rate (or adjusted effective tax rate) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and 2016,2017, respectively, is primarily due to (i) the reconciling items above, which impact our reported income (loss) from continuing operations 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 nine months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 and 20162017 was 16.5%14.0% and 18.6%23.1%, respectively.

FFO (NAREIT) and FFO (Normalized)
Funds from operations (“FFO”) is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") and us as net income excluding depreciation on real estate assets and gain on sale of real estate, net of tax (“FFO (NAREIT)”). 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. Although NAREIT has published a definition of FFO, modifications to FFO (NAREIT) are common among REITs as companies seek to provide financial measures that most meaningfully reflect their particular business. Our definition of FFO (Normalized) excludes certain items included in FFO (NAREIT) that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results, specifically: (1) (gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment (excluding real estate), net; (2) intangible impairments; (3) other (income) expense, (income), net; (4) deferred income taxes and REIT tax adjustments; (5) Recall Costs; (5) the tax impact of reconciling items and discrete tax items; (6) REIT Costs; (7) income (loss)loss (income) from discontinued operations, net of tax; and (8) gain (loss)(7) loss (gain) on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our 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 policies 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 policies 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 policies have occurred since December 31, 2015.2016.

(1)Constant currency growth rates are calculated by translating the 20152016 results at the 20162017 average exchange rates.
(2)Our internal revenue growth rate, which is a non-GAAP measure, represents the weighted average year-over-year growth rate of our revenues excluding the impact of business acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. The revenues generated by Recall have been integrated with our existing revenues and it is impracticable for us to determine actual Recall revenue contribution.contribution for the applicable periods. Therefore, our internal revenue growth rates exclude the impact of revenues associated with the Recall Transaction based upon forecasted or budgeted Recall revenues beginning in the third quarter of 2016. Our internal revenue growth rate includes the impact of acquisitions of customer relationships.
Storage Rental Revenues

Consolidated storage rental revenues increased $116.4$111.1 million, or 25.3%24.1%, to $576.5 million and $196.2 million, or 14.2%, to $1,576.4$572.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively,March 31, 2017 from $460.1 million and $1,380.1$461.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.March 31, 2016. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, the net impact of acquisitions/divestitures and consolidated internal storage rental revenue growth were partially offset by unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016. The net impact of acquisitions/divestitures contributed 24.6% and 14.6%21.6% to the reported storage rental revenue growth ratesrate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively,March 31, 2017 compared to the samecomparable prior year periods,period, primarily driven primarily by our acquisition of Recall. Internal storage rental revenue growth of 2.3%3.0% in the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 compared to the samecomparable prior year period was driven by sustained internal storage rental revenue growth of 0.7%2.7%, 1.7%, 0.8% and 9.9%8.3% in our North American Records and Information Management Business, North American Data Management Business, Western European Business and Other International Business segments, respectively.respectively, primarily driven by volume increases, as well as internal storage rental revenue growth of 1.9% in our North American Records and Information Management Business segment, primarily driven by net price increases. Excluding the impact of acquisitions, global records management net volumes as of March 31, 2017 increased by 1.9% over the ending volume as of March 31, 2016. These increases were partially offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which decreased our reported storage rental revenue growth ratesrate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 by 1.9% and 2.7%, respectively,0.5% compared to the samecomparable prior year periods.period. Global records management reported net volumes, including the impact of acquisitions, as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 increased by 29.2%25.0% over the ending volume at September 30, 2015,March 31, 2016, supported by volume increases across each of our reportable operating segments, primarily associated with the acquisition of Recall.


Service Revenues

Consolidated service revenues increased $79.9$77.1 million, or 27.9%26.6%, to $366.4 million and $125.5 million, or 14.3%, to $1,000.9$366.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively,March 31, 2017 from $286.5 million and $875.4$289.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.March 31, 2016. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, the net impact of acquisitions/divestitures was partially offset by negativeand consolidated internal service revenue growth andwere partially offset by unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.March 31, 2016. The net impact of acquisitions/divestitures contributed 30.4% and 17.6%26.1% to the reported service revenue growth ratesrate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively,March 31, 2017 compared to the samecomparable prior year periods,period, primarily driven primarily by our acquisition of Recall. Internal service revenue growth was negative 0.5% and negative 0.2%0.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively,March 31, 2017 compared to the samecomparable prior year periods.period. The negative internal service revenue growth for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 reflects reducedgrowth in secure shredding revenues, in part due to higher recycled paper prices, and the stabilization in recent periods of the decline in retrieval/re-file activity and athe related decrease in transportation revenues within our North American Records and Information Management Business, andas well as increased special project work within our Western European Business segments, as well assegment, partially offset by continued declines in service revenue activity levels in our North American Data Management Business segment, as the storage business becomes more archival in nature. In the North American Records and Information Management Business segment, the decline in service activities has begun to stabilize in recent periods, while service revenue declines in the Western European Business and the North American Data Management Business segments are reflecting more recent reductions in service activity levels. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations decreased our reported total service revenues by 2.0% and 3.1%0.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively,March 31, 2017 compared to the samecomparable prior year periods.period.

Total Revenues

For the reasons stated above, our consolidated revenues increased $196.3$188.2 million, or 26.3%25.1%, to $942.8 million and $321.7 million, or 14.3%, to $2,577.3$938.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively,March 31, 2017 from $746.5 million and $2,255.5$750.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.March 31, 2016. The net impact of acquisitions/divestitures contributed 26.8% and 15.8%23.4% to the reported consolidated revenue growth ratesrate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively,March 31, 2017 compared to the samecomparable prior year periods,period, primarily driven primarily by our acquisition of Recall. Consolidated internal revenue growth was 1.4% and 1.3%2.0% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively,March 31, 2017 compared to the samecomparable prior year periods.period. These increases were partially offset by the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, which decreased our reported consolidated revenues by 1.9% and 2.8%0.3% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively,March 31, 2017 compared to the samecomparable prior year periods.period, primarily due to the weakening of the British pound sterling and the Euro against the United States dollar, based on an analysis of weighted average rates for the comparable period.

We expect our consolidated internal storage rental revenue growth rate for 20162017 to be approximately 1.5%2.0% to 2.0%2.5%. During the past eight quarters, our internal storage rental revenue growth rate has ranged between 2.1% and 3.5%3.0%. Our internal storage rental revenue growth rates have been relatively stable over the past two fiscal years, as internal storage rental revenue growth for full year 20142015 and 20152016 were 2.2%2.7% and 2.7%2.3%, respectively. At various points in the economic cycle, internal storage rental revenue growth may be influenced by changes in pricing and volume. Within our international portfolio, the Western European Business segment is generating consistent low single-digit internal storage rental revenue growth, while the Other International Business segment is producing high single-digit internal storage rental revenue growth by capturing the first-time outsourcing trends for physical records storage and management in those markets. The internal growth rate for service revenue is inherently more volatile than the internal growth rate for storage rental revenues due to the more discretionary nature of certain services we offer, such as large special projects, and, as a commodity, the volatility of pricing for recycled paper. These revenues, which are often event-driven and impacted to a greater extent by economic downturns as customers defer or cancel the purchase of certain services as a way to reduce their short-term costs, may be difficult to replicate in future periods. The internal growth rate for total service revenues over the past eight quarters reflects reduced retrieval/re-file activity and a related decrease in transportation revenues within our North American Records and Information Management Business and Western European Business segments, as well as continued service declines in service revenue activity levels in our North American Data Management Business segment as the storage business becomes more archival in nature.

Foreign Currency Transaction (Gains) Losses
We recorded net foreign currency transaction lossesgains of $15.3$4.2 million in the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, based on period-end exchange rates. These lossesgains resulted primarily from changes in the exchange rateimpact of each of the Argentine peso and British pound sterling against the United States dollar compared to December 31, 2015, as these currencies relate to our intercompany balances with and between our Latin American and European subsidiaries, as well as Euro denominated borrowings by IMI under our Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below). These losses were partially offset by gains primarily from changes in the exchange rate of each of the Brazilian real, Mexican peso and Russian ruble against the United States dollar compared to December 31, 2016 on our intercompany balances with and between certain of our subsidiaries. These gains were partially offset by losses resulting primarily from the impact of changes in the exchange rate of each of the British pound sterling and Euro against the United States dollar compared to December 31, 2016 on our intercompany balances with and between certain of our subsidiaries.

We recorded net foreign currency transaction gains of $12.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016, based on period-end exchange rates. These gains resulted primarily from the impact of changes in the exchange rate of each of the Brazilian real, British pound sterling, Euro, and Russian ruble against the United States dollar compared to December 31, 2015 as these currencies relate toon our intercompany balances with and between certain of our Latin American and European subsidiaries.
We recorded net foreign currency transaction These gains were partially offset by losses of $56.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2015, based on period-end exchange rates. These losses resultedresulting primarily from the impact of changes in the exchange rate of each of the Argentine peso Brazilian real, Euro, Russian ruble and Ukrainian hryvnia against the United States dollar compared to December 31, 2014, as these currencies relate to2015 on our intercompany balances with and between certain of our Latin American and European subsidiaries, as well as Euro forward contracts. These losses were partially offset by gains primarily from changesa change in the exchange rate of the British pound sterling as it relatesEuro against the United States dollar compared to our intercompany balances with and between our European subsidiaries, andDecember 31, 2015 on Euro denominated bonds issuedborrowings by IMI.

We recorded a charge of approximately $2.2 million in the third quarter of 2015 related to the refinancing of theIMI under our Revolving Credit Agreement (as defined below), representing the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs. We recorded a charge of approximately $9.3 million in the second quarter of 2016 related to the termination of the Bridge Facility (as defined below), which primarily consists of the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs.Facility.

Other, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 includes a charge of $14.0 million associated with the anticipated loss on disposal of the Australia Divestment Business (as defined in Note 4 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report). As disclosed in Note 10 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, we have determined that the Australia Divestment Business met the criteria to be reported as held for sale beginning in the second quarter of 2016. Accordingly, the Australia Divestment Business is reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at the lower of its carrying value or its fair value (less costs to sell). This charge represents the excess of the carrying value of the Australia Divestment Business compared to its fair value (less costs to sell) as of September 30, 2016, based upon the sale price of the business described more fully in Note 13 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Other, net in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 consisted primarily of $0.6 million related to the write-down of certain investments.
Provision for Income Taxes
We provide for income taxes during interim periods based on our estimate of the effective tax rate for the year. Discrete items and changes in our estimate of the annual effective tax rate are recorded in the period they occur. Our effective tax rate is subject to variability in the future due to, among other items: (1) changes in the mix of income between our qualified REIT subsidiaries ("QRSs") and our domestic taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), as well as among the jurisdictions in which we operate; (2) tax law changes; (3) volatility in foreign exchange gains and losses; (4) the timing of the establishment and reversal of tax reserves; and (5) our ability to utilize net operating losses that we generate.

Our effective tax ratesrate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 were 14.3%March 31, 2016 and 18.6%, respectively. Our effective tax rates for the three2017 was 15.9% and nine months ended September 30, 2016 were 81.2% and 46.2%13.5%, respectively. The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory tax rate of 35.0% and our overall effective tax ratesrate in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015March 31, 2016 were the benefit derived from the dividends paid deduction and differences in the rates of tax at which our foreign earnings are subject, including foreign exchange gains and losses in different jurisdictions with different tax rates, and state income taxes (net of federal tax benefit). In the third quarter of 2015, we recorded a tax benefit of $4.1 million related to the expiration of certain statutes of limitations and an out-of-period tax adjustment ($9.0 million tax benefit) to correct the valuation of certain deferred tax assets associated with the REIT conversion that occurred in 2014.rates. The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory tax rate of 35.0% and our overall effective tax ratesrate in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 were the benefit derived from the dividends paid deduction, a release of valuation allowances on certain of our foreign net operating losses of $7.5 million as a result of the merger of certain of our foreign subsidiaries and differences in the rates of tax at which our foreign earnings are subject, including foreign exchange gains and losses in different jurisdictions with different tax rates, andrates. These benefits were partially offset by the impact of a legislative change enacted in the $14.0first quarter of 2017 in the United Kingdom which eliminated the deductibility of certain interest expense and increased our tax provision for the first quarter of 2017 by $1.8 million, charge (describedor 2.5%. We are seeking an exemption from Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs but have not as yet received clarification on our request and, therefore, we have reflected the incremental tax associated with this legislative change into our annual effective tax rate.

As a result of the 2016 Indefinite Reinvestment Assessment (as defined in Note 2.i.2.e. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) recorded duringStatements included in this Quarterly Report), we concluded that it is our intent to indefinitely reinvest our current and future undistributed earnings of our unconverted foreign TRSs outside the third quarterUnited States. Accordingly, we no longer provide incremental foreign withholding taxes on the retained book earnings of 2016these unconverted foreign TRSs. As a REIT, future repatriation of incremental undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries will not be subject to federal or state income tax, with the exception of foreign withholding taxes in limited instances; however, such future repatriations will require distribution in accordance with REIT distribution rules, and any such distribution may then be taxable, as appropriate, at the stockholder level. We continue, however, to provide for incremental foreign withholding taxes on net book over outside basis differences related to the anticipated loss on disposalearnings of the Australia Divestment Business, which had no associated tax benefit.our foreign QRSs and certain of our converted TRSs.
As a REIT, we are entitled to a deduction for dividends paid, resulting in a substantial reduction of federal income tax expense, and substantially all of our income tax expense will be incurred based on the earnings generated by our foreign subsidiaries and our domestic TRSs.
Gain on Sale of Real Estate, Net of Tax
Consolidated gain on sale of real estate for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $0.3 million, net of tax of $0.1 million, associated with the sale of land in North America. Consolidated gain on sale of real estate was $0.9 million, net of tax of $0.2 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which was associated with the sale of a building in the United Kingdom.

The $98.9$41.1 million period over period increase in cash flows from operating activities resulted from a decrease in cash used in working capital of $100.3 million, primarily related to the timing of accrued expenses and deferred revenue, offset by a decreasean increase in net income (including non-cash charges and realized foreign exchange losses) of $1.4 million.$43.7 million, offset by an increase in cash used in working capital of $2.6 million, primarily related to the timing of prepaid expenses.
Our business requires capital expenditures to maintain our ongoing operations, support our expected revenue growth and new products and services, and increase our profitability. These expenditures are included in the cash flows from investing activities. The nature of our capital expenditures has evolved over time along with the nature of our business. Our capital goes to support business-line growth and our ongoing operations, but we also expend capital to support the development and improvement of products and services and projects designed to increase our profitability. These expenditures are generally discretionary in nature. Cash paid for our capital expenditures, acquisition of customer relationships and customer inducements during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 amounted to $246.0$73.2 million, $24.8$17.1 million and $16.1$4.3 million, respectively. Cash paid for acquisitions (net of cash acquired) duringFor the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016 of $276.4 million consisted primarily of the cash portion of the purchase price associated with the Recall Transaction. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, these expenditures were primarily funded with cash flows from operations, as well as the financing activities described below.

Excluding capital expenditures associated with potential future acquisitions, and opportunistic real estate investments and capital expenditures associated with the integration of Recall, we expect our capital expenditures to be approximately $320.0 million to $370.0 million in the year ending December 31, 2016. We expect to spend up to $50.0 million of additional capital expenditures on opportunistic real estate investments in the year ending December 31, 2016.2017.
Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations was $441.3$36.7 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2016.

We used the proceeds from these transactions, as well as cash flows provided by operating activities, for the net payment of $318.8 millionprimarily associated with net paymentsborrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Bridge Facility, as well as for the payment of dividends in the amount of $360.5 million on our common stock.Facility.

Capital Expenditures

Below are descriptions of the major types of investments and other capital expenditures that we have made in recent years or that we are likely to consider in 2017. Beginning in the first quarter of 2017, we are separately identifying an additional capital expenditure category, Innovation and Growth Investment capital spend, which was previously included within the Non-Real Estate Investment capital spend category. We have reclassified the categorization of our prior year capital expenditures to conform with our current presentation.

Real estate assets that support core business growthprimarily related to investments in land, buildings, building improvements, leasehold improvements and racking structures that expand our revenue capacity in existing or new geographies, replace a long-term operational obligation or create operational efficiencies ("Real Estate Investment").

Real estate assets necessary to maintain ongoing business operations primarily related to the repair or replacement of real estate assets such as buildings, building improvements, leasehold improvements and racking structures ("Real Estate Maintenance").
Non-Real Estate:
Non-real estate assets that either (i) support the growth of our business, and/or increase our profitability, such as customer-inventory technology systems, and technology service storage and processing capacity, or (ii) are directly related to the development of core products or services in support of our integrated value proposition and enhance our leadership position in the industry, including items such as increased feature functionality, security upgrades or system enhancements ("Non-Real Estate Investment").

Non-real estate assets necessary to maintain ongoing business operations primarily related to the repair or replacement of customer-facing assets such as containers and shred bins, warehouse equipment, fixtures, computer hardware, or third-party or internally-developed software assets. This category also includes operational support initiatives such as sales and marketing and information technology projects to support infrastructure requirements ("Non-Real Estate Maintenance").

a. Credit Agreement

On July 2, 2015, we entered into a new credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") to refinance our then existing credit agreement that was scheduledagreement. The Credit Agreement terminates on July 6, 2019, at which point all obligations become due, but may be extended by one year at our option, subject to terminate on June 27, 2016.the conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement consists of a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a term loan (the "Term Loan"). We recorded a charge of approximately $2.2 million to other expense (income), net in the third quarter of 2015 related to the refinancing of the Credit Agreement, representing a write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs.
On June 24, 2016, Iron Mountain Information Management, LLC (“IMIM”) entered into a commitment increase supplement (the “Commitment Increase Supplement”), pursuant to which we increased theThe maximum amount permitted to be borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility from $1,500.0 million tois $1,750.0 million. After entering intoThe original amount of the Commitment Increase Supplement, the maximum amount available for borrowing under the Credit Agreement is $2,000.0 million (consisting of a Revolving Credit Facility of $1,750.0 million and a Term Loan ofwas $250.0 million).million. We continue to have the option to request additional commitments of up to $250.0 million, in the form of term loans or through increased commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, subject to the conditions specified in the Credit Agreement.

As of September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, we had $1,240.8$988.3 million and $234.4$228.1 million of outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan, respectively, and $55.4$53.6 million of various letters of credit outstanding. The remaining amount available for borrowing thereunder,under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2017, which is based on IMI's leverage ratio, the last 12 months' earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and rent expense ("EBITDAR"), other adjustments as defined in the Credit Agreement and current external debt, was $453.8$708.0 million (which amount represents the maximum availability as of such date). The average interest rate in effect under the Credit Agreement was 2.9%3.0% as of September 30, 2016.March 31, 2017. The average interest rate in effect under the Revolving Credit Facility was 2.9%3.0% and ranged from 2.3% to 4.8%5.0% as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and the interest rate in effect under the Term Loan as of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 was 2.8%3.2%.
The Credit Agreement, our 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 certain other 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 indentures or other agreements governing our indebtedness. The Credit Agreement uses EBITDAR-based calculations as the primary measures of financial performance, including leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios.
b. Cash Pooling
Certain of our subsidiaries participate in cash pooling arrangements (the “Cash Pools”) with Bank Mendes Gans (“BMG”), an independently operated fully-owned subsidiary of ING Group, in order to help manage global liquidity requirements. Under the Cash Pools, cash deposited by participating subsidiaries with BMG is pledged as security against the drawings of other participating subsidiaries, and legal rights of offset are provided and, therefore, amounts are presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets on a net basis. Each subsidiary receives interest on the cash balances held on deposit or pays interest on the amounts owed based on an applicable rate as defined in the Cash Pools. At December 31, 2016, we had a net cash position of approximately $1.7 million (which consisted of a gross cash position of approximately $69.5 million less outstanding borrowings of approximately $67.8 million by participating subsidiaries).

During the first quarter of 2017, we significantly expanded our utilization of the Cash Pools and reduced our utilization of our financing centers in Europe for purposes of meeting our global liquidity requirements. As of March 31, 2017, we utilize two separate cash pools with BMG, one of which we utilize to manage global liquidity requirements for our QRSs (the "QRS Cash Pool") and one pool for our TRSs (the "TRS Cash Pool"). As of March 31, 2017, we had a net cash position of approximately $5.4 million in the QRS Cash Pool (which consisted of a gross cash position of approximately $478.2 million less outstanding borrowings of approximately $472.8 million by participating subsidiaries) and we had a net cash position of approximately $11.1 million in the TRS Cash Pool (which consisted of a gross cash position of approximately $217.3 million less outstanding borrowings of approximately $206.2 million by participating subsidiaries). The net cash position balances as of December 31, 2016 and March 31, 2017, respectively, are reflected as cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Our leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios under the Credit Agreement as of December 31, 20152016 and September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, respectively, and our leverage ratio under our indentures as of December 31, 20152016 and September 30, 2016,March 31, 2017, respectively, are as follows:
December 31, 2015 September 30, 2016 Maximum/Minimum AllowableDecember 31, 2016 March 31, 2017 Maximum/Minimum Allowable
Net total lease adjusted leverage ratio5.6
 5.7
 Maximum allowable of 6.55.7
 5.8
 Maximum allowable of 6.5
Net secured debt lease adjusted leverage ratio2.6

 5.5
 Maximum allowable of 6.5
Fixed charge coverage ratio2.4
 2.5
 Minimum allowable of 1.52.4
 2.3
 Minimum allowable of 1.5
As noted in the table above, our maximum allowable net total lease adjusted leverage ratio under the Credit Agreement is 6.5. The Credit Agreement also contains a provision which limits, in certain circumstances, our dividends in any four consecutive fiscal quarters to 95% of Funds From Operations (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for such four fiscal quarters or, if greater, the amount that we would be required to pay in order to continue to be qualified for taxation as a REIT or to avoid the imposition of income or excise taxes on IMI. This limitation only is applicableapplies when our net total lease adjusted leverage ratio exceeds 6.0 as measured as of the end of the most recently completed fiscal quarter.
Noncompliance with these leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity.
b. Bridge Facility
On April 19, 2016, in order to provide a portion of the financing necessary to close the Recall Transaction, we entered into a commitment letter with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as a lender and administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto (the "Lenders"), pursuant to which the Lenders committed to provide us an unsecured bridge term loan facility of up to $850.0 million (the "Bridge Facility"). On April 29, 2016, we entered into a bridge credit agreement (the “Bridge Credit Agreement”) with the Lenders and borrowed the full amount of the Bridge Facility. We used the proceeds from the Bridge Facility, together with borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, to finance a portion of the cost of the Recall Transaction, including refinancing Recall’s existing indebtedness and to pay costs we incurred in connection with the Recall Transaction.

On May 31, 2016, we used the proceeds from the issuanceAcquisitions
a. Acquisition of the 43/8% Notes and the 53/8% Notes, together with cash on hand and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, to repay the Bridge Facility, and effective May 31, 2016, we terminated the commitments of the lenders under the Bridge Credit Agreement. We recorded a charge to other expense (income), net of $9.3 million during the second quarter of 2016 related to the early extinguishment of the Bridge Credit Agreement. This charge primarily consisted of the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs.

c. Issuance of 43/8% Notes, 53/8% Notes and CAD Notes due 2023

In May 2016, IMI completed a private offering of $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 43/8% Notes and IM US Holdings completed a private offering of $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 53/8% Notes. The 43/8% Notes and 53/8% Notes were issued at par. The aggregate net proceeds of $738.8 million from the 43/8% Notes and 53/8% Notes, after paying the initial purchasers' commissions, were used, together with cash on hand and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, for the repayment of all outstanding borrowings under the Bridge Credit Agreement.
On September 15, 2016, Canada Company completed a private offering of 250.0 million Canadian dollars in aggregate principal amount of the CAD Notes due 2023. The CAD Notes due 2023 were issued at par. The aggregate net proceeds from the CAD Notes due 2023 of 246.3 million Canadian dollars (or $186.7 million based upon the exchange rate between the Canadian dollar and the United States dollar on September 15, 2016 (the settlement date for the CAD Notes due 2023)), after paying the initial purchasers’ commissions, were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

d. Australian Dollar Term Loan

On September 28, 2016, Iron Mountain Australia Group Pty, Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of IMI, entered into a 250.0 million Australian dollar Syndicated Term Loan B Facility (the “AUD Term Loan”) which matures in September 2022. The AUD Term Loan was issued at 99% of par. The net proceeds of approximately 243.8 million Australian dollars (or approximately $185.8 million based upon the exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the United States dollar on September 28, 2016 (the settlement date for the AUD Term Loan)), after paying commissions to the joint lead arrangers and net of the original issue discount, were used to repay outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility in October 2016 and for general corporate purposes.

Principal payments on the AUD Term Loan are to be paid in quarterly installments in an amount equivalent to 6.3 million Australian dollars per year, with the remaining balance due on September 28, 2022. The AUD Term Loan is secured by substantially all assets of Iron Mountain Australia Group Pty. Ltd. IMI and the Guarantors guarantee all obligations under the AUD Term Loan. The interest rate on borrowings under the AUD Term Loan is based upon BBSY (an Australian benchmark variable interest rate) plus 4.3%. As of September 30, 2016, we had 250.0 million Australian dollars outstanding on the AUD Term Loan and the interest rate in effect under the AUD Term Loan was 6.1%.

e. Cash Pooling

Subsequent to the closing of the Recall Transaction, certain of our international subsidiaries began participating in a cash pooling arrangement (the “Cash Pool”) with Bank Mendes Gans (“BMG”) in order to help manage global liquidity requirements. The Cash Pool allows participating subsidiaries to borrow funds from BMG against amounts held on deposit with BMG by other participating subsidiaries. The Cash Pool has a legal right of offset and, therefore, amounts are presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheet on a net basis. Each subsidiary receives interest on the cash balances held on deposit or pays interest on the amounts owed based on an applicable rate as defined in the Cash Pool agreement. At September 30, 2016, we had a net cash position of approximately $18.9 million (consisting of a gross cash position of approximately $50.7 million less outstanding borrowings of approximately $31.8 million by participating subsidiaries), which is reflected as cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

f. Mortgage Securitization Program

In October 2016, we entered into a $50.0 million mortgage securitization program (the "Mortgage Securitization Program") involving certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries with Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company (“Goldman Sachs”). Under the Mortgage Securitization Program, IMIM contributed certain real estate assets to its wholly owned special purpose entity, Iron Mountain Mortgage Finance I, LLC (the "Mortgage Special Purpose Subsidiary"). The Mortgage Special Purpose Subsidiary then used the real estate to secure collateralized loans from Goldman Sachs. The Mortgage Special Purpose Subsidiary is a consolidated subsidiary of IMI. Borrowings under the Mortgage Securitization Program bear interest at 3.5%. The Mortgage Securitization Program is scheduled to terminate in November 2026. Proceeds from the Mortgage Securitization Program will be used to repay outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility.


For more information on our Credit Agreement and the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program, see Note 5 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report.

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.
Acquisitions
On May 2, 2016 (Sydney, Australia time), we completed the Recall Transaction. At the closing of the Recall Transaction, we paid approximately $331.8 million and issued approximately 50.2 million shares of our common stock which, based upon the closing price of our common stock as of April 29, 2016 (the last day of trading on the NYSE prior to the closing of the Recall Transaction) of $36.53 per share, resulted in a total purchase price to Recall shareholders of approximately $2,166.9 million.

We currently estimate total operatingacquisition and capitalintegration expenditures associated with the Recall Transaction to be approximately $380.0 million, the majority of which is expected to be incurred by the end of 2018. This amount consists of (i) approximately $80.0 million of Recall Deal Close & Divestment Costs, (ii) approximately $220.0 million of Recall Integration Costs and (iii) approximately $80.0 million of(ii) capital expenditures to integrate Recall with our existing operations.

The following table presents the operating and capital expenditures associated with the Recall Transaction incurred for the twelve monthsyear ended December 31, 2015,2016, the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 and the cumulative amount incurred through September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 (in thousands):

b. Santa Fe Transaction
In MarchNovember 2016, we acquiredentered into a controlling interest in Docufile Holdings Proprietary Limited ("Docufile"), a storage and records management company with operations in South Africa, for approximately $15.0 million. The acquisition of Docufile represents our entrance into Africa.

In March 2016, in order to expand our presence in the Baltic region, we acquired the stock of Archyvu Sistemos, a storage and records management company with operations in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, for approximately $5.1 million.

In August 2016, we reached anbinding agreement in principle under a non-binding memorandum of understanding to acquire the information management assets and operations of Santa Fe Group A/S (“("Santa Fe”Fe") in ten regions within Europe and Asia in order to expand our presence in southeast Asia and western Europe. In December 2016, we acquired the information management assets and operations of Santa Fe in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Spain and Taiwan (the “2016 Santa Fe Transaction”) for approximately 27.015.2 million Euro, or approximately $30.3Euros (approximately $16.0 million, (the “Santa Fe Transaction”), based upon the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the Euro as of SeptemberDecember 30, 2016.2016, the closing date of the 2016 Santa Fe operates its information management business in Spain, India, Hong Kong, Macau, Indonesia,Transaction). Of the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Taiwan. The memorandum of understanding between us and Santa Fe is non-binding and any binding agreement we enter into with Santa Fe will be subject to closing conditions; accordingly, we can provide no assurance that we will complete this acquisition, that the acquisition will not be delayed or that the terms of the acquisition will not change.

Divestments

As discussed in Note 4 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report, we are required to make the Divestments. The Access Sale (as defined in Note 4 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report) resulted in total consideration of $80.0purchase price, 13.5 million (including cash proceeds of $55.0 million received at the closing of the transaction and an additional amount of contingent consideration of up to $25.0 million payable upon the 27-month anniversary of the closing of the Access Sale). See Note 4 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for information regarding our estimate of the fair value of this contingent consideration as a result of the Access Sale. The Australia Sale (as defined in Note 13 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report) resulted in total consideration of approximately 70.0 million Australian dollarsEuros (or approximately $53.2$14.2 million, based upon the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as of October 31, 2016), subject to adjustments. Our estimate (which incorporates current market conditions)Euro on the closing date of the proceeds we will receive in relation to2016 Santa Fe Transaction) was paid during the Seattle/Atlanta Divestments, the Canadian Divestmentsyear ended December 31, 2016, and the UK Divestments (each as definedremaining balance is due on the 18-month anniversary of the closing of the 2016 Santa Fe Transaction. During the first quarter of 2017, we acquired the information management assets and operations of Santa Fe in Note 4Macau and South Korea (the "2017 Santa Fe Transaction") for approximately 0.9 million Euros (or approximately $1.0 million, based upon the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the Euro on the closing date of the 2017 Santa Fe Transaction). We expect to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements includedacquire Santa Fe's information management assets and operations in this Quarterly Report) is approximately $50.0 million. UponIndia, Indonesia and the successfulPhilippines by the end of the second quarter of 2017. However, the completion of these divestments,pending acquisitions is subject to closing conditions; accordingly, we anticipate usingcan provide no assurance that these acquisitions will be completed or that the net proceedsterms thereof will not change.

c. Other Acquisitions

In addition to repay outstanding borrowings underthe 2017 Santa Fe Transaction noted above, during 2017, in order to enhance our Revolving Credit Facilityexisting operations in the United States and ultimatelyGreece and to reinvest those proceeds inexpand our business.operations into the United Arab Emirates, we completed the acquisition of three storage and records management companies and one art storage company for total consideration of approximately $13.7 million. The individual purchase prices of these acquisitions ranged from approximately $2.0 million to approximately $4.4 million.

Contractual Obligations
We expect to meet our cash flow requirements for the next twelve months from cash generated from operations, existing cash, cash equivalents, borrowings under the Credit Agreement and other financings, which may include senior or senior subordinated notes, secured credit facilities, securitizations and mortgage or capital lease financings, and the issuance of equity. We expect to meet our long-term cash flow requirements using the same means described above. We are highly leveraged and expect to continue to be highly leveraged for the foreseeable future.currently operating above our long-term targeted leverage ratio. As a REIT, we expect our long-term capital allocation strategy will naturally shift towardtowards lower leverage, though our leverage has increased over the last several fiscal years to fund the costs of theour REIT conversion and the Recall Transaction.

Net Operating Losses
We have federal net operating loss carryforwards, which expire from 2021 through 2033, of $64.2 million at September 30, 2016 to reduce future federal taxable income, of which $0.8 million of federal tax benefit is expected to be realized. We can carry forward these net operating losses to the extent we do not utilize them in any given available year. We have state net operating loss carryforwards, which expire from 2016 through 2034, of which an insignificant state tax benefit is expected to be realized. We have assets for foreign net operating losses of $99.1 million, with various expiration dates (and in some cases no expiration date), subject to a valuation allowance of approximately 77%.
Inflation
Certain of our expenses, such as wages and benefits, insurance, occupancy costs and equipment repair and replacement, are subject to normal inflationary pressures. Although to date we have been able to offset inflationary cost increases throughwith increased operating efficiencies, the negotiation of favorable long-term real estate leases and an ability to increase prices in our customer contracts (many of which contain provisions for inflationary price escalators,escalators), we can give no assurance that we will be able to offset any future inflationary cost increases through similar efficiencies, leases or increased storage rental or service charges.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
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"). These rules refer to the controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information is recorded, processed, accumulated, summarized, communicated and reported to management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding what is required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act. As of September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 (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.
On May 2, 2016, we completed the acquisition of Recall. See Note 4 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for further details about the Recall Transaction. As a result of the Recall Transaction, we are currently in the process of assessing and integrating Recall’s internal controls over financial reporting into our financial reporting controls.
There have been no changes other than associated with Recall discussed above, in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) under the Securities Act of 1934) during the quarter ended September 30, 2016March 31, 2017 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
