Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Equinix, Inc. (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries referred to as "Equinix," the "Company," "we," "our," or "us") and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. Our condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), but omit certain information and footnote disclosure necessary to present the statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP"). For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on February 17, 2023. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year. Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the acquisitions of: • Four data centers as well as a subsea cable and terrestrial fiber network in West Africa acquired from MainOne Cable Company ("MainOne") from April 1, 2022; and • Four data centers in Chile and a data center in Peru acquired from Empresa Nacional De Telecomunicaciones S.A. ("Entel") from May 2, 2022 and August 1, 2022, respectively. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Income Taxes We elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes ("REIT") beginning with our 2015 taxable year. As a result, we may deduct the dividends paid to our stockholders from taxable income generated by our REIT and qualified REIT subsidiaries ("QRSs"). Our dividends paid deduction generally eliminates the U.S. federal taxable income of our REIT and QRSs, resulting in no U.S. federal income tax due. However, our domestic taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs") are subject to U.S. corporate income taxes on any taxable income generated by them. In addition, our foreign operations are subject to local income taxes regardless of whether the foreign operations are operated as QRSs or TRSs. We accrue for income taxes during interim periods based on the estimated effective tax rate for the year. The effective tax rate is subject to change in the future due to various factors such as our operating performance, tax law changes and future business acquisitions. Our effective tax rates were 17.6% and 18.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Standards Adopted Supplier Finance Programs In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, "Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations". This guidance requires annual and interim disclosures for entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted, except for the amendment on roll forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We adopted this ASU and the adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform ("Topic 848"): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In addition, FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform ("Topic 848"), which clarifies the scope of Topic 848. Collectively, the guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2021-01 is effective upon issuance and ASU 2020-04 was effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020, and together remained effective through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform ("Topic 848"): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. Because the current relief in Topic 848 may not cover a period of time during which a significant number of modifications may take place, the amendments in this Update defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. We adopted these ASUs upon their respective issuances and there was no impact on our consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting the guidance. We will evaluate our debt, derivative and lease contracts that may become eligible for modification relief and may apply the elections prospectively as needed. Debt with Conversion and Other Options In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06: Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The ASU simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock and modifies the disclosure requirement for the convertible instruments. Additionally, this ASU improves the consistency of EPS calculations by eliminating the use of the treasury stock method to calculate diluted EPS for convertible instruments and clarifies certain areas under the current EPS guidance. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted at the beginning of the fiscal year after December 15, 2020. On January 1, 2022, we adopted this ASU on a prospective basis and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] | |
Revenue | Revenue Contract Balances The following table summarizes the opening and closing balances of our accounts receivable, net; contract assets, current; contract assets, non-current; deferred revenue, current; and deferred revenue, non-current (in thousands): Accounts receivable, net (1) Contract assets, current Contract assets, non-current Deferred revenue, current Deferred revenue, non-current Beginning balances as of January 1, 2023 $ 855,380 $ 27,608 $ 55,405 $ 132,090 $ 155,334 Closing balances as of March 31, 2023 913,413 28,619 72,269 129,378 153,039 Increase (Decrease) $ 58,033 $ 1,011 $ 16,864 $ (2,712) $ (2,295) (1) The net change in our allowance for credit losses was insignificant during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The difference between the opening and closing balances of our accounts receivable, net, contract assets and deferred revenues primarily results from revenue growth and the timing difference between the satisfaction of our performance obligation and the customer's payment. The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 from the opening deferred revenue balance as of January 1, 2023 was $36.8 million. Remaining performance obligations As of March 31, 2023, approximately $9.9 billion of total revenues, including deferred installation revenues, are expected to be recognized in future periods. Most of our revenue contracts have an initial term varying from one three The remaining performance obligations do not include variable consideration related to unsatisfied performance obligations such as the usage of metered power, point-in-time services, variable price increases, and service fees from xScale TM data centers, which are calculated based on future events or actual costs incurred in the future, or any contracts that could be terminated without any significant penalties such as the majority of interconnection revenues. The remaining performance obligations above include revenues to be recognized in the future related to arrangements where we are considered the lessor. |

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions | Acquisitions 2022 Acquisitions Acquisition of Entel Chile Data Centers (the "Entel Chile Acquisition") and Entel Peru Data Center (the "Entel Peru Acquisition") On May 2, 2022, we further expanded in Latin America through an acquisition of four data centers in Chile from Entel, a leading Chilean telecommunications provider, for a total purchase consideration of $638.3 million at the exchange rate in effect on that date. On August 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of a data center in Peru from Entel for a total purchase consideration of $80.3 million at the exchange rate in effect on that date. The Entel Chile Acquisition and Entel Peru Acquisition support our ongoing expansion to meet customer demand in the Latin American market. Acquisition of MainOne (the "MainOne Acquisition") On April 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of all outstanding shares of MainOne, which consisted of four data centers as well as a subsea cable and terrestrial fiber network. We acquired MainOne and its assets for a total purchase consideration of $278.4 million. The MainOne Acquisition supports our ongoing expansion to meet customer demand in the West African market. Purchase Price Allocation Each of the acquisitions noted above constitute a business under the accounting standard for business combinations and, therefore, were accounted for as business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Under this method, the total purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed measured at fair value on the date of acquisition, except where alternative measurement is required under GAAP. As of March 31, 2023, we had not completed the detailed valuation analysis to derive the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Entel Peru Acquisition as it relates to the related tax impacts; therefore, the purchase price allocation is based on provisional estimates and subject to continuing management analysis. A summary of the allocation of total purchase consideration is presented as follows (in thousands): Entel Chile MainOne Entel Peru Final Provisional Cash and cash equivalents $ — $ 33,026 $ — Accounts receivable — 9,431 — Other current assets 12,424 21,988 — Property, plant and equipment 81,132 239,583 13,423 Intangible assets 153,489 54,800 10,000 Goodwill 380,867 110,665 46,285 Deferred tax and other assets 12,090 5,879 10,801 Total assets acquired 640,002 475,372 80,509 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (195) (18,525) — Other current liabilities (1) — (13,061) — Mortgage and loans payable — (25,944) — Deferred tax and other liabilities (1) (1,463) (139,492) (167) Net assets acquired $ 638,344 $ 278,350 $ 80,342 (1) For the MainOne Acquisition, other current liabilities includes $9.9 million of deferred revenue - current and the other liabilities includes $95.4 million of deferred revenue - non-current. Property, plant and equipment - The fair values of property, plant and equipment acquired from these three acquisitions were estimated by applying the cost approach, with the exception of land, which we estimated by applying the market approach. The key assumptions of the cost approach include replacement cost new, physical deterioration, functional and economic obsolescence, economic useful life, remaining useful life, age and effective age. Intangible assets - The following table presents certain information on the acquired intangible assets (in thousands): Intangible Assets Fair Value Estimated Useful Lives (Years) Weighted-average Estimated Useful Lives (Years) Discount Rate Entel Peru: Customer relationships (1) $ 10,000 15.0 15.0 7.0 % Entel Chile: Customer relationships (1) 153,489 12.0 - 15.0 14.0 8.5% - 9.5% MainOne: Customer relationships (1) 51,500 10.0 - 15.0 14.0 11.5 % Trade names (2) 3,300 5.0 5.0 11.5 % (1) The fair value was estimated by calculating the present value of estimated future operating cash flows generated from existing customers less costs to realize the revenue and/or by using benchmarking. The rates reflect the nature of the assets as they relate to the risk and uncertainty of the estimated future operating cash flows, as well as the risk of the country within which the acquired business operates. (2) The fair value of the MainOne trade name was estimated using the relief from royalty method under the income approach. We applied a relief from royalty rate of 1.0%. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is attributable to the workforce of the acquired business and the projected revenue increase expected to arise from future customers after the acquisition. Goodwill from the Entel Peru and Entel Chile acquisitions are attributable to the Americas region and are not expected to be amortizable for local tax purposes. Goodwill from the MainOne Acquisition is attributable to the EMEA region and is generally not deductible for local tax purposes. |

Assets Held for Sale | Assets Held for Sale In June 2021, we entered into an agreement to form a joint venture in the form of a limited liability partnership with GIC Private Limited, Singapore's sovereign wealth fund ("GIC"), to develop and operate additional xScale TM data centers in Europe and the Americas (the “EMEA 2 Joint Venture”). xScale data centers are engineered to meet the technical and operational requirements and price points of core hyperscale workload deployments and also offer access to our comprehensive suite of interconnection and edge solutions. The transaction was structured to close in phases over the course of two years, pending regulatory approval and other closing conditions. The assets and liabilities of the Warsaw 4 ("WA4") data center site, which were included within our EMEA region, were classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2021. In June 2022, we sold the WA4 data center in exchange for a total consideration of $61.5 million. We recognized an insignificant gain on the sale of the WA4 data center. In October 2021, we entered into an agreement to form a joint venture in the form of a limited liability partnership with PGIM Real Estate ("PGIM"), to develop and operate xScale data centers in Asia-Pacific (the "Asia-Pacific 2 Joint Venture"). The assets and liabilities of the Sydney 9 ("SY9") data center site, which were included within our Asia-Pacific region, were classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2021. Upon closing the joint venture in March 2022, we sold the SY9 data center in exchange for a total consideration of $201.3 million, which was comprised of $165.6 million of net cash proceeds, a 20% partnership interest in the Asia-Pacific 2 Joint Venture with a fair value of $29.8 million, and $5.9 million of receivables. We recognized an insignificant loss on the sale of the SY9 data center. In March 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell the Mexico 3 ("MX3") data center site in connection with the formation of a new joint venture with GIC (the "AMER 1 Joint Venture") to develop and operate xScale data centers in the Americas. The assets and liabilities of the MX3 data center, which were included within our Americas region, were classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2021. Upon closing of the joint venture in March 2023, we sold the MX3 data center in exchange for a total consideration of $75.1 million, which was comprised of $63.9 million of net cash proceeds, a 20% partnership interest in the AMER 1 Joint Venture with a fair value of $8.4 million, and $2.8 million of receivables. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized an insignificant loss on the sale of the MX3 data center. |

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract] | |
Equity Method Investments | Equity Method Investments We hold various equity method investments, primarily joint venture or partnership arrangements, in order to invest in certain entities that are in line with our business development objectives, including the development and operation of xScale data centers. Some of these xScale joint ventures are classified as Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs"), as discussed further below. The Asia-Pacific 1, Asia-Pacific 2, Asia-Pacific 3, EMEA 2, and AMER 1 Joint Ventures as noted below (the "VIE Joint Ventures") share a similar purpose, design and nature of assets. The following table summarizes our equity method investments (in thousands), which were included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets: Investee Ownership Percentage March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 EMEA 1 Joint Venture with GIC 20% $ 154,954 $ 148,895 VIE Joint Ventures 20% 206,327 191,680 Other Various 10,714 7,570 Total $ 371,995 $ 348,145 Non - VIE Joint Venture EMEA 1 Joint Venture We invested in a joint venture in the form of a limited liability partnership with GIC (the "EMEA 1 Joint Venture"), to develop and operate xScale data centers in Europe. The EMEA 1 Joint Venture is not a VIE given that both equity investors' interests have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and it is sufficiently capitalized to sustain its operations, requiring additional funding from its partners only when expanding operations. Our share of income and losses of equity method investments from this joint venture was insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 and was included in other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. We committed to make future equity contributions to the EMEA 1 Joint Venture for funding its future development. As of March 31, 2023, we had future equity contribution commitments of $7.9 million. VIE Joint Ventures We invested in joint ventures in the form of limited liability partnerships with GIC to develop and operate xScale data centers in Asia-Pacific (the "Asia-Pacific 1 Joint Venture") and in Europe and the Americas (the EMEA 2 Joint Venture, see Note 5 above). On March 11, 2022, we entered into the Asia-Pacific 2 Joint Venture with PGIM to develop and operate additional xScale data centers in Asia-Pacific (see Note 5 above). On April 6, 2022, we entered into a joint venture in the form of a limited liability partnership with GIC (the "Asia-Pacific 3 Joint Venture") to develop and operate additional xScale data centers in Seoul, Korea. Upon closing, we contributed $17.0 million in exchange for a 20% partnership interest in the joint venture. On March 10, 2023, we entered into the AMER 1 joint venture with GIC to develop and operate xScale data centers in the Americas (see Note 5 above). Upon closing, we contributed $8.4 million in exchange for a 20% partnership interest in the joint venture. The VIE Joint Ventures are considered VIEs because they do not have sufficient funds from operations to be self-sustaining. While we provide certain management services to their operations and earn fees for the performance of such services, the power to direct the activities of these joint ventures that most significantly impact economic performance is shared equally between us and either GIC or PGIM, as applicable. These activities include data center construction and operations, sales and marketing, financing, and real estate purchases or sales. Decisions about these activities require the consent of both Equinix and either GIC or PGIM, as applicable. We concluded that neither party is deemed to have predominant control over the VIE Joint Ventures and neither party is considered to be the primary beneficiary. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, our share of income and losses of equity method investments from these joint ventures was insignificant both individually and in the aggregate, and was included in other income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The following table summarizes our maximum exposure to loss related to the VIE Joint Ventures as of March 31, 2023 (in thousands): VIE Joint Ventures Equity Investment $ 206,327 Outstanding Receivables 13,594 Future Equity Contribution Commitments (1) 41,014 Maximum Future Payments under Debt Guarantees (2) 82,408 Total $ 343,343 (1) The joint ventures' partners are required to make additional equity contributions proportionately upon certain occurrences, such as a shortfall in capital necessary to complete certain construction phases or make interest payments on their outstanding debt. (2) In connection with our 20% equity investment in the EMEA 2 Joint Venture, we provided the lenders with our guarantees covering 20% of all payments of principal and interest due under EMEA 2 Joint Venture's credit facility agreements (see Note 11). Other Related Party Transactions We have lease arrangements and provide various services to the EMEA 1 Joint Venture and the VIE Joint Ventures (the "Joint Ventures") through multiple agreements, including sales and marketing, development management, facilities management, and asset management. These transactions are generally considered to have been negotiated at arm's length. The following table presents the revenues and expenses from these arrangements with the Joint Ventures in our condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands): Three Months Ended Related Party Nature of Transaction 2023 2022 EMEA 1 Joint Venture Revenues $ 7,041 $ 6,302 EMEA 1 Joint Venture Expenses (1) 1,657 4,328 VIE Joint Ventures Revenues 21,803 7,003 (1) Balances primarily consist of rent expenses for a 15-year sub-lease agreement with the EMEA 1 Joint Venture for a London data center.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Derivatives and Hedging Activities | Derivatives and Hedging Activities Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments Net Investment Hedges. We are exposed to the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the value of investments in our foreign subsidiaries whose functional currencies are other than the U.S. Dollar. In order to mitigate the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, we have entered into various foreign currency debt obligations, which are designated as hedges against our net investments in foreign subsidiaries. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total principal amounts of foreign currency debt obligations designated as net investment hedges was $1.5 billion. We also utilize cross-currency interest rate swaps, designated as net investment hedges, which effectively convert a portion of our U.S. dollar-denominated fixed-rate debt to foreign currency-denominated fixed-rate debt, to hedge the currency exposure associated with our net investment in our foreign subsidiaries. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total notional amount of cross-currency interest rate swaps, designated as net investment hedges was $3.9 billion, with maturity dates ranging through 2026. From time to time, we use foreign currency forward contracts, which are designated as net investment hedges, to hedge against the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our net investment in our foreign subsidiaries. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts designated as net investment hedges was $373.4 million. Certain of our customer agreements that are priced in currencies different from the functional or local currencies of the parties involved are deemed to have foreign currency forward contracts embedded in them. These embedded derivatives are separated from their host contracts and carried on our balance sheet at their fair value. The majority of these embedded derivatives arise as a result of our foreign subsidiaries pricing their customer contracts in U.S. Dollars. We use these forward contracts embedded within our customer agreements to hedge against the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our net investment in our foreign subsidiaries. The effect of net investment hedges on accumulated other comprehensive income and the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was as follows (in thousands): Amount of gain or (loss) recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income: Three Months Ended 2023 2022 Foreign currency debt $ (23,610) $ 45,061 Cross-currency interest rate swaps (included component) (1) (39,911) 122,030 Cross-currency interest rate swaps (excluded component) (2) 23,961 (72,108) Foreign currency forward contracts (included component) (1) (1,048) (2,949) Foreign currency forward contracts (excluded component) (3) 648 (676) Total $ (39,960) $ 91,358 Amount of gain or (loss) recognized in earnings: Location of gain or (loss) Three Months Ended 2023 2022 Cross-currency interest rate swaps (excluded component) (2) Interest expense $ 12,229 $ 12,578 Foreign currency forward contracts (excluded component) (3) Interest expense (152) (31) Total $ 12,077 $ 12,547 (1) Included component represents foreign exchange spot rates. (2) Excluded component represents cross-currency basis spread and interest rates. (3) Excluded component represents foreign currency forward points. Cash Flow Hedges . We hedge our foreign currency transaction exposure for forecasted revenues and expenses in our EMEA region between the U.S. Dollar and the British Pound, Euro, Swedish Krona and Swiss Franc. The foreign currency forward and option contracts that we use to hedge this exposure are designated as cash flow hedges. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total notional amounts of these foreign exchange contracts were $570.4 million and $490.8 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, our foreign currency cash flow hedge instruments had maturity dates ranging from April 2023 to December 2024 and we had a net loss of $8.2 million recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to be reclassified to revenues and expenses relating to these cash flow hedges as they mature in the next 12 months. As of December 31, 2022, our foreign currency cash flow hedge instruments had maturity dates ranging from January 2023 to February 2024 and we had a net gain of $8.2 million recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to be reclassified to revenues and expenses relating to these cash flow hedges as they mature in the next 12 months. We enter into intercompany hedging instruments ("intercompany derivatives") with our wholly-owned subsidiaries in order to hedge certain forecasted revenues and expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Simultaneously, we enter into derivative contracts with unrelated third parties to externally hedge the net exposure created by such intercompany derivatives. We hedge the interest rate exposure created by anticipated fixed rate debt issuances through the use of treasury locks and swap locks (collectively, interest rate locks), which are designated as cash flow hedges. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had no interest rate locks outstanding. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, interest rate locks with a combined aggregate notional amount of ¥77.3 billion were settled related to the issuance of senior notes during the year. When interest rate locks are settled, any gain or loss from the transactions is deferred and included as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and is amortized to interest expense over the term of the forecasted hedged transaction which is equivalent to the term of the interest rate locks. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had a net gain of $1.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively, recorded within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to be reclassified to interest expense in the next 12 months for interest rate locks. We also use cross-currency swaps, which are designated as cash flow hedges, to manage the foreign currency exposure associated with a portion of our foreign currency-denominated debt. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total notional amount of cross-currency interest rate swaps, designated as cash flow hedges, was $280.3 million. The effect of cash flow hedges on accumulated other comprehensive income and the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was as follows (in thousands): Amount of gain or (loss) recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income: Three Months Ended 2023 2022 Foreign currency forward and option contracts (included component) (1) $ (12,453) $ 18,322 Cross-currency interest rate swaps (2,396) — Interest rate locks (4,108) 50,442 Total $ (18,957) $ 68,764 Amount of gain or (loss) reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to income: Three Months Ended Location of gain or (loss) 2023 2022 Foreign currency forward contracts Revenues $ 12,296 $ 3,563 Foreign currency forward contracts Costs and operating expenses (3,221) (1,312) Interest rate locks Interest Expense 320 (1,076) Total $ 9,395 $ 1,175 (1) Included component represents foreign exchange spot rates. Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Embedded Derivatives. As described above, certain of our customer agreements that are priced in currencies different from the functional or local currencies of the parties involved are deemed to have foreign currency forward contracts embedded in them. Economic Hedges of Embedded Derivatives. We use foreign currency forward contracts to manage the foreign exchange risk associated with our customer agreements that are priced in currencies different from the functional or local currencies of the parties involved ("economic hedges of embedded derivatives"). Foreign currency forward contracts represent agreements to exchange the currency of one country for the currency of another country at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon settlement date. Foreign Currency Forward Contracts . We also use foreign currency forward contracts to manage the foreign exchange risk associated with certain foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities. As a result of foreign currency fluctuations, the U.S. Dollar equivalent values of our foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities change. Gains and losses on these contracts are included in other income (expense), on a net basis, along with the foreign currency gains and losses of the related foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities associated with these foreign currency forward contracts. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total notional amounts of these foreign currency contracts were $2.2 billion and $3.0 billion, respectively. The following table presents the effect of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments in our condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands): Amount of gain or (loss) recognized in earnings: Three Months Ended Location of gain or (loss) 2023 2022 Embedded derivatives (1) Revenues $ — $ (568) Economic hedge of embedded derivatives (2) Revenues — (983) Foreign currency forward contracts Other income (expense) 10,707 (1,470) Total $ 10,707 $ (3,021) (1) Embedded derivatives which are considered foreign currency forward contracts were designated as net investment hedges beginning March 31, 2022. (2) As of March 31, 2023, we had no economic hedge of embedded derivatives outstanding.

(2) As presented in our condensed consolidated balance sheets within other current liabilities and other liabilities. Offsetting Derivative Assets and Liabilities We enter into master netting agreements with our counterparties for transactions other than embedded derivatives to mitigate credit risk exposure to any single counterparty. Master netting agreements allow for individual derivative contracts with a single counterparty to offset in the event of default. For presentation on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, we do not offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments or the accrued interest related to cross-currency interest rate swaps under master netting arrangements. The following table presents information related to these offsetting arrangements as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands): Gross Amounts Offset in Gross Amounts Gross Amounts Offset in the Balance Sheet Net Amounts Gross Amounts not Offset in the Balance Sheet Net March 31, 2023 Derivative assets $ 372,836 $ — $ 372,836 $ (50,820) $ 322,016 Derivative liabilities 59,156 — 59,156 (50,820) 8,336 December 31, 2022 Derivative assets $ 424,516 $ — $ 424,516 $ (34,429) $ 390,087 Derivative liabilities 39,234 — 39,234 (34,429) 4,805 |

Debt Facilities | Debt Facilities Mortgage and Loans Payable As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our mortgage and loans payable consisted of the following (in thousands): March 31, December 31, 2022 Term loans $ 631,055 $ 619,090 Mortgage payable and loans payable 33,052 34,527 664,107 653,617 Less amount representing unamortized debt discount and debt issuance cost (1,003) (1,062) 663,104 652,555 Less current portion (9,869) (9,847) $ 653,235 $ 642,708 Senior Credit Facility and Refinancing On January 7, 2022, we entered into a credit agreement (the "2022 Credit Agreement") with a group of lenders for a senior unsecured credit facility, comprised of a $4.0 billion senior unsecured multicurrency revolving credit facility (the "2022 Revolving Facility") and a £500.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "2022 Term Loan Facility" and, together with the 2022 Revolving Facility, collectively, the "2022 Credit Facilities"). The total debt issuance costs for the 2022 Revolving Facility and 2022 Term Loan Facility are $6.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. We borrowed the full £500.0 million available under the 2022 Term Loan Facility, or approximately $676.9 million at the exchange rates in effect on that date. On that same day, using a portion of the proceeds from the 2022 Term Loan Facility, we prepaid in full all of the $549.6 million of indebtedness outstanding under the 2017 Term Loan Facility, at the exchange rates in effect on January 7, 2022 and terminated the 2017 Credit Agreement. In connection with the repayment and termination, we incurred an insignificant amount of loss on debt extinguishment. The remaining unamortized debt issuance costs of the 2017 Credit Facilities will continue to be amortized over the contract terms of the 2022 Credit Facilities. The 2022 Credit Facilities have a maturity date of January 7, 2027. We may borrow, repay and reborrow amounts under the 2022 Revolving Facility until the Maturity Date, at which time all amounts outstanding under the 2022 Revolving Facility must be repaid in full. The term loan made under the 2022 Term Loan Facility has no scheduled principal amortization and must be repaid in full on the maturity date. The 2022 Revolving Credit Facility provides for extensions of credit in U.S. Dollars as well as certain other foreign currencies. Borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate based on the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), term SOFR, an alternative currency daily rate, or an alternative currency term rate plus a spread adjustment, plus a margin that can vary from 0.555% to 1.200%. Borrowings under the 2022 Term Loan Facility bear interest at a rate based on the daily Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA"), plus a spread adjustment, plus a margin that can vary from 0.625% to 1.450%. We are also required to pay a quarterly letter of credit fee on the face amount of each letter of credit, which fee is based on the same margin that applies from time to time to SOFR-indexed borrowings under the revolving credit line. The margin is dependent on either our consolidated net leverage ratio or our credit ratings. We are also required to pay a quarterly facility fee ranging from 0.07% to 0.25% per annum. The 2022 Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including financial ratio covenants that are required to be maintained as of each quarter end. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total amounts outstanding under the 2022 Term Loan Facility, net of debt issuance costs, were $615.9 million and $603.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, we had 60 irrevocable letters of credit totaling $83.5 million issued and outstanding under the 2022 Revolving Facility, with approximately $3.9 billion remaining available to borrow under the 2022 Revolving Facility. Senior Notes As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our senior notes consisted of the following (in thousands): March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Amount Effective Rate Amount Effective Rate 2.625% Senior Notes due 2024 $ 1,000,000 2.79 % $ 1,000,000 2.79 % 1.250% Senior Notes due 2025 500,000 1.46 % 500,000 1.46 % 1.000% Senior Notes due 2025 700,000 1.18 % 700,000 1.18 % 2.900% Senior Notes due 2026 600,000 3.04 % 600,000 3.04 % 1.450% Senior Notes due 2026 700,000 1.64 % 700,000 1.64 % 0.250% Euro Senior Notes due 2027 542,750 0.45 % 534,950 0.45 % 1.800% Senior Notes due 2027 500,000 1.96 % 500,000 1.96 % 1.550% Senior Notes due 2028 650,000 1.67 % 650,000 1.67 % 2.000% Senior Notes due 2028 400,000 2.21 % 400,000 2.21 % 3.200% Senior Notes due 2029 1,200,000 3.30 % 1,200,000 3.30 % 2.150% Senior Notes due 2030 1,100,000 2.27 % 1,100,000 2.27 % 2.500% Senior Notes due 2031 1,000,000 2.65 % 1,000,000 2.65 % 3.900% Senior Notes due 2032 1,200,000 4.07 % 1,200,000 4.07 % 1.000% Euro Senior Notes due 2033 651,300 1.18 % 641,940 1.18 % 2.000% Japanese Yen Senior Notes Series A due 2035 283,381 2.07 % — — % 2.130% Japanese Yen Senior Notes Series C due 2035 111,395 2.20 % — — % 2.370% Japanese Yen Senior Notes Series B due 2043 76,998 2.42 % — — % 2.570% Japanese Yen Senior Notes Series D due 2043 34,623 2.62 % — — % 2.570% Japanese Yen Senior Notes Series E due 2043 75,267 2.62 % — — % 3.000% Senior Notes due 2050 500,000 3.09 % 500,000 3.09 % 2.950% Senior Notes due 2051 500,000 3.00 % 500,000 3.00 % 3.400% Senior Notes due 2052 500,000 3.50 % 500,000 3.50 % 12,825,714 12,226,890 Less amount representing unamortized debt issuance cost (117,863) (117,351) $ 12,707,851 $ 12,109,539 3.900% Senior Notes due 2032 On April 5, 2022, we issued $1.2 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.900% Senior Notes due 2032 (the "2032 Notes"). Interest on the 2032 Notes is payable semi-annually on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing on October 15, 2022. Debt issuance costs and debt discounts related to the 2032 Notes were $16.3 million. 2.000% Japanese Yen Senior Notes Series A due 2035, 2.370% Japanese Yen Senior Notes Series B due 2043, 2.130% Japanese Yen Senior Notes Series C due 2035, 2.570% Japanese Yen Senior Notes Series D due 2043 and 2.570% Japanese Yen Senior Notes Series E due 2043 On February 16, 2023, we issued ¥10.0 billion, or approximately $74.5 million in U.S. dollars, at the exchange rate in effect on that date, aggregate principal amount of 2.570% senior notes due March 8, 2043 (the "2043 Japanese Yen Series E Notes"). On March 8, 2023, and at the exchange rate in effect on that date, we issued ¥37.7 billion, or approximately $274.7 million in U.S. dollars, aggregate principal amount of 2.000% senior notes due March 8, 2035 (the "2035 Japanese Yen Series A Notes"), ¥10.2 billion, or approximately $74.6 million in U.S. dollars, aggregate principal amount of 2.370% senior notes due March 8, 2043 (the "2043 Japanese Yen Series B Notes"), ¥14.8 billion, or approximately $107.9 million in U.S. dollars, aggregate principal amount of 2.130% senior notes due March 8, 2035 (the "2035 Japanese Yen Series C Notes") and ¥4.6 billion, or approximately $33.5 million in U.S. dollars, aggregate principal amount of 2.570% senior notes due March 8, 2043 (the "2043 Japanese Yen Series D Notes"). Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 8 and September 8 of each year, commencing on September 8, 2023. Total debt issuance costs related to the 2035 Japanese Yen Series A Notes, the 2043 Japanese Yen Series B Notes, the 2035 Japanese Yen Series C Notes, the 2043 Japanese Yen Series D Notes and the 2043 Japanese Yen Series E Notes were $2.0 million, $0.6 million, $0.8 million, $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Purchase and Other Commitments As a result of our various IBX data center expansion projects, as of March 31, 2023, we were contractually committed for approximately $2.0 billion of unaccrued capital expenditures, primarily for IBX infrastructure equipment not yet delivered and labor not yet provided, in connection with the work necessary to open these IBX data centers and make them available to our customers for installation. We also had numerous other, non-capital purchase commitments in place as of March 31, 2023, such as commitments to purchase power in select locations through the remainder of 2023 and thereafter, and other open purchase orders for goods or services to be delivered or provided during the remainder of 2023 and thereafter. Such other miscellaneous purchase commitments totaled approximately $2.0 billion as of March 31, 2023. For further information on equity contribution commitments and lease commitments, see Note 6 and Note 9, respectively, above. Contingent Liabilities We estimate our exposure on certain liabilities, such as indirect and property taxes, based on the best information available at the time of determination. With respect to real and personal property taxes, we record what we can reasonably estimate based on prior payment history, assessed value by the assessor's office, current landlord estimates, or estimates based on current or changing fixed asset values in each specific municipality, as applicable. However, there are circumstances beyond our control whereby the underlying value of the property or basis for which the tax is calculated on the property may change, such as a landlord selling the underlying property of one of our IBX data center leases or a municipality changing the assessment value in a jurisdiction and, as a result, our property tax obligations may vary from period to period. Based upon the most current facts and circumstances, we make the necessary property tax accruals for each of our reporting periods. However, revisions in our estimates of the potential or actual liability could materially impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our indirect and property tax filings in various jurisdictions are subject to examination by local tax authorities. Although we believe that we have adequately assessed and accounted for our potential tax liabilities, and that our tax estimates are reasonable, there can be no certainty that additional taxes will not be due upon audit of our tax returns or as a result of further changes to the tax laws and interpretations thereof. For example, we are currently undergoing an audit and appealing the tentative assessment in Brazil. The final settlement of the audit and the outcomes of the appeal are uncertain and may not be resolved in our favor. We regularly assess the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations and appeals that would affect the adequacy of our tax accruals for each of the reporting periods. If any issues arising from the tax examinations and appeals are resolved in a manner inconsistent with our expectations, the revision of the estimates of the potential or actual liabilities could materially impact our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Employment Agreements We have entered into a severance agreement with certain of our executive officers that provides for a severance payment equal to 100% of the executive officer's annual base salary and maximum bonus in the event his or her employment is terminated for any reason other than cause or he or she voluntarily resigns under certain circumstances as described in the agreement, or 200% of the executive officer's annual base salary and maximum bonus in the event this occurs after a change-in-control of our company. For certain other executive officers, these benefits are only triggered after a change-in-control of our company, in which case the officer is entitled to 200% of the executive officer's annual base salary and maximum bonus. In addition, under these agreements, the executive officer is entitled to the payment of his or her monthly health care premiums under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act for up to 24 months. Indemnification and Guarantor Arrangements As permitted under Delaware law, we have agreements whereby we indemnify our officers and directors for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was serving, at our request in such capacity. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer's or director's lifetime. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have a director and officer insurance policy that could limit our exposure and enable us to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. As a result of our insurance policy that could limit our exposure and enable us to recover some or all of amounts paid, our estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. We have no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of March 31, 2023. We enter into standard indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, we may agree to indemnify, hold harmless, and reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally a business partner or a customer, in connection matters such as any U.S. patent, or any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim by any third party with respect to our offerings; a breach of confidentiality obligations and certain other contractual warranties; our gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, misrepresentation, or violation of law; and/or if we cause tangible property damage, personal injury or death. The term of any such indemnification agreement is generally perpetual after execution of the agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have never incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, our estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. We do not have significant liabilities recorded for these agreements as of March 31, 2023. We enter into arrangements with certain business partners, whereby the business partner agrees to provide services as a subcontractor for our installations. Accordingly, we enter into standard indemnification agreements with our customers, whereby we indemnify them for certain acts, such as personal property damage, by our subcontractors. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, we have general and umbrella insurance policies that could enable us to recover a portion of any amounts paid. We have never incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, our estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. We do not have significant liabilities recorded for these agreements as of March 31, 2023. We have service level commitment obligations to certain of our customers. As a result, service interruptions or significant equipment damage in our IBX data centers, whether or not within our control, could result in obligations to these customers. Our liability insurance may not be adequate to cover those expenses. In addition, any loss of service, equipment damage or inability to meet our service level commitment obligations could reduce the confidence our customers have in us, and could consequently impair our ability to obtain and retain customers, which would adversely affect both our ability to generate revenues and our operating results. We generally have the ability to determine such service level credits prior to the associated revenue being recognized. We do not have significant liabilities in connection with service level credits as of March 31, 2023. |

(2) We have two defined benefit pension plans covering all employees in two countries where such plans are mandated by law. We do not have any defined benefit plans in any other countries. Changes in foreign currencies can have a significant impact to our condensed consolidated balance sheets (as evidenced above in our foreign currency translation loss), as well as its condensed consolidated results of operations, as amounts in foreign currencies are generally translated into more U.S. Dollars when the U.S. Dollar weakens or fewer U.S. Dollars when the U.S. Dollar strengthens. As of March 31, 2023, the U.S. Dollar was generally weaker relative to certain of the currencies of the foreign countries in which we operate as compared to December 31, 2022. Because of this, the U.S. Dollar had an overall favorable impact on our condensed consolidated financial position because the foreign denominations translated into more U.S. Dollars as evidenced by a decrease in foreign currency translation loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as reflected in the above table. The volatility of the U.S. Dollar as compared to the other currencies in which we operate could have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial position and results of operations including the amount of revenue that we report in future periods. Common Stock In October 2020, we established an "at the market" equity offering program (the "2020 ATM Program"), under which we could, from time to time, offer and sell shares of our common stock to or through sales agents up to an aggregate of $1.5 billion. In February 2022, we entered into a forward sale amendment to the 2020 ATM Program, under which we could, from time to time, offer and sell shares under the equity distribution agreement pursuant to forward sale transactions (the "Equity Forward Amendment"). In November 2022, we established a successor ATM program, also with substantially the same terms as the Equity Forward Amendment noted above, under which we may, from time to time, offer and sell on a spot or forward basis up to an aggregate of $1.5 billion of our common stock to or through sales agents in "at the market" transactions (the "2022 ATM Program"). The forward sale agreements provide three settlement alternatives to us: physical settlement, cash settlement or net share settlement. In accordance with ASC 815, the forward sale agreements are classified as equity for balance sheet purposes. During the first half of 2022, we executed five forward sale agreements under the 2020 ATM Program to sell 579,873 shares of our common stock. On August 3, 2022, we physically settled these forward sale shares for approximately $393.6 million, net of payment of commissions to sales agents and other offering expenses, at an aggregate weighted-average forward sale price of $678.72 per share. In the fourth quarter of 2022, we executed three additional forward sale agreements to sell 458,459 shares of our common stock with maturity dates ranging from February 2023 to November 2023. Of this amount, 308,875 shares were executed under the 2020 ATM Program and the remaining 149,584 shares were executed under the 2022 ATM Program. As of December 31, 2022, no shares remained available for sale under the 2020 ATM Program. On February 28, 2023, we physically settled these forward sale shares for approximately $301.6 million, net of payment of commissions to sales agents and other offering expenses, at an aggregate weighted-average forward sale price of $657.75 per share. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, other than as noted above, we sold no additional shares and for the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not sell any shares under the 2022 and 2020 ATM Program. As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $1.4 billion of common stock available for sale under the 2022 ATM Program. Stock-Based Compensation For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Talent, Culture and Compensation Committee and/or the Stock Award Committee of our Board of Directors, as the case may be, granted an aggregate of 845,473 restricted stock units ("RSUs") to certain employees, including executive officers. These equity awards are subject to vesting provisions and have a weighted-average grant date fair value of $685.99 per share and a weighted-average requisite service period of 3.48 years. The valuation of RSUs with only a service condition or a service and performance condition require no significant assumptions as the fair value for these types of equity awards is based solely on the fair value of our stock price on the date of grant. We use revenues, adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO") per share and digital services revenues as the performance measurements in the RSUs with both service and performance conditions that were granted in the three months ended March 31, 2023. We use a Monte Carlo simulation option-pricing model to determine the fair value of RSUs with a service and market condition. We used total shareholder return ("TSR") as the performance measurement in the RSUs with a service and market condition that were granted in the three months ended March 31, 2023. There were no significant changes in the assumptions used to determine the fair value of RSUs with a service and market condition that were granted in 2023 compared to the prior year. The following table presents, by operating expense category, our stock-based compensation expense recognized in our condensed consolidated statements of operations (in thousands): Three Months Ended 2023 2022 Cost of revenues $ 11,323 $ 10,443 Sales and marketing 19,505 20,184 General and administrative 67,887 59,325 Total $ 98,715 $ 89,952 |

Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Segment Information | Segment InformationWhile we have one primary line of business, which is the design, build-out and operation of IBX data centers, we have determined that we have three reportable segments comprised of our Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific geographic regions.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Equinix, Inc. (collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries referred to as "Equinix," the "Company," "we," "our," or "us") and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which in the opinion of management are necessary to fairly state the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods presented. Our condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2022 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), but omit certain information and footnote disclosure necessary to present the statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP" or "GAAP"). For further information, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on February 17, 2023. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire fiscal year. |
Consolidation | Consolidation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the acquisitions of: • Four data centers as well as a subsea cable and terrestrial fiber network in West Africa acquired from MainOne Cable Company ("MainOne") from April 1, 2022; and • Four data centers in Chile and a data center in Peru acquired from Empresa Nacional De Telecomunicaciones S.A. ("Entel") from May 2, 2022 and August 1, 2022, respectively. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes We elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes ("REIT") beginning with our 2015 taxable year. As a result, we may deduct the dividends paid to our stockholders from taxable income generated by our REIT and qualified REIT subsidiaries ("QRSs"). Our dividends paid deduction generally eliminates the U.S. federal taxable income of our REIT and QRSs, resulting in no U.S. federal income tax due. However, our domestic taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs") are subject to U.S. corporate income taxes on any taxable income generated by them. In addition, our foreign operations are subject to local income taxes regardless of whether the foreign operations are operated as QRSs or TRSs. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Standards Adopted Supplier Finance Programs In September 2022, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2022-04, "Liabilities-Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations". This guidance requires annual and interim disclosures for entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, with early adoption permitted, except for the amendment on roll forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We adopted this ASU and the adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform ("Topic 848"): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. In addition, FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform ("Topic 848"), which clarifies the scope of Topic 848. Collectively, the guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. ASU 2021-01 is effective upon issuance and ASU 2020-04 was effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020, and together remained effective through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform ("Topic 848"): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848. Because the current relief in Topic 848 may not cover a period of time during which a significant number of modifications may take place, the amendments in this Update defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. We adopted these ASUs upon their respective issuances and there was no impact on our consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting the guidance. We will evaluate our debt, derivative and lease contracts that may become eligible for modification relief and may apply the elections prospectively as needed. Debt with Conversion and Other Options In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06: Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40). The ASU simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by reducing the number of accounting models for convertible debt instruments and convertible preferred stock and modifies the disclosure requirement for the convertible instruments. Additionally, this ASU improves the consistency of EPS calculations by eliminating the use of the treasury stock method to calculate diluted EPS for convertible instruments and clarifies certain areas under the current EPS guidance. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted at the beginning of the fiscal year after December 15, 2020. On January 1, 2022, we adopted this ASU on a prospective basis and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Business Combinations |
Remaining performance obligations | Remaining performance obligations As of March 31, 2023, approximately $9.9 billion of total revenues, including deferred installation revenues, are expected to be recognized in future periods. Most of our revenue contracts have an initial term varying from one three The remaining performance obligations do not include variable consideration related to unsatisfied performance obligations such as the usage of metered power, point-in-time services, variable price increases, and service fees from xScale TM data centers, which are calculated based on future events or actual costs incurred in the future, or any contracts that could be terminated without any significant penalties such as the majority of interconnection revenues. The remaining performance obligations above include revenues to be recognized in the future related to arrangements where we are considered the lessor. |
Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments | Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments Net Investment Hedges. We are exposed to the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the value of investments in our foreign subsidiaries whose functional currencies are other than the U.S. Dollar. In order to mitigate the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, we have entered into various foreign currency debt obligations, which are designated as hedges against our net investments in foreign subsidiaries. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total principal amounts of foreign currency debt obligations designated as net investment hedges was $1.5 billion. We also utilize cross-currency interest rate swaps, designated as net investment hedges, which effectively convert a portion of our U.S. dollar-denominated fixed-rate debt to foreign currency-denominated fixed-rate debt, to hedge the currency exposure associated with our net investment in our foreign subsidiaries. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total notional amount of cross-currency interest rate swaps, designated as net investment hedges was $3.9 billion, with maturity dates ranging through 2026. From time to time, we use foreign currency forward contracts, which are designated as net investment hedges, to hedge against the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our net investment in our foreign subsidiaries. As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the total notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts designated as net investment hedges was $373.4 million. Certain of our customer agreements that are priced in currencies different from the functional or local currencies of the parties involved are deemed to have foreign currency forward contracts embedded in them. These embedded derivatives are separated from their host contracts and carried on our balance sheet at their fair value. The majority of these embedded derivatives arise as a result of our foreign subsidiaries pricing their customer contracts in U.S. Dollars. We use these forward contracts embedded within our customer agreements to hedge against the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on our net investment in our foreign subsidiaries. Cash Flow Hedges . |
Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments | Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments Embedded Derivatives. As described above, certain of our customer agreements that are priced in currencies different from the functional or local currencies of the parties involved are deemed to have foreign currency forward contracts embedded in them. Economic Hedges of Embedded Derivatives. We use foreign currency forward contracts to manage the foreign exchange risk associated with our customer agreements that are priced in currencies different from the functional or local currencies of the parties involved ("economic hedges of embedded derivatives"). Foreign currency forward contracts represent agreements to exchange the currency of one country for the currency of another country at an agreed-upon price on an agreed-upon settlement date. Foreign Currency Forward Contracts . |
Fair Value Measurements | We perform fair value measurements in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, which establishes three levels of inputs that we use to measure fair value: • Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: observable inputs (e.g., spot rates and other data from the third-party pricing vendors for our derivative instruments) other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for the assets or liabilities. • Level 3: unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of assets or liabilities. |
Segment Information | While we have one primary line of business, which is the design, build-out and operation of IBX data centers, we have determined that we have three reportable segments comprised of our Americas, EMEA and Asia-Pacific geographic regions. Our chief operating decision-maker evaluates performance, makes operating decisions and allocates resources based on our revenues and adjusted EBITDA performance both on a consolidated basis and based on these three reportable segments. Intercompany transactions between segments are excluded for management reporting purposes. |
