EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 of Digital Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Digital Realty Trust, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership, of which Digital Realty Trust, Inc. is the sole general partner. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “our Company”, or “the Company” refer to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Digital Realty Trust, L.P. Unless otherwise, all references to the “Parent” refer to Digital Realty Trust, Inc., and all references to “our Operating Partnership,” “the Operating Partnership” or “the OP” refer to Digital Realty Trust, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Parent is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and the sole general partner of the OP. In statements regarding qualification as a REIT, such terms refer solely to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. As of June 30, 2022, the Parent owned an approximate 97.8% common general partnership interest in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. The remaining approximate 2.2% of the common limited partnership interests of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. are owned by non-affiliated third parties and certain directors and officers of the Parent. As of  June 30, 2022, the Parent owned all of the preferred limited partnership interests of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. As the sole general partner of Digital Realty Trust, L.P., the Parent has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for the OP’s day-to-day management and control.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent and the OP into this single report results in the following benefits:

● enhancing investors’ understanding of the Parent and the OP by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

● eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Parent and the OP; and

● creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

It is important to understand the few differences between the Parent and the OP in the context of how we operate the Company. The Parent does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the OP and issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain unsecured debt of the OP and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates. The OP holds substantially all the assets of the business, directly or indirectly. The OP conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by the Parent, which are generally contributed to the OP in exchange for partnership units, the OP generates capital required by the business through the OP’s operations, incurrence of indebtedness and issuance of partnership units to third parties.

The presentation of noncontrolling interests, stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent and those of the OP. The differences in the presentations between stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from the differences in the equity and capital issuances in the Parent and in the OP.

To highlight the differences between the Parent and the OP, separate sections in this report, as applicable, individually discuss the Parent and the OP, including separate financial statements and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure of the Parent and the OP, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company.

As general partner with control of the OP, the Parent consolidates the OP for financial reporting purposes, and it does not have significant assets other than its investment in the OP. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Parent and the OP are the same on their respective condensed consolidated financial statements. The separate discussions of the Parent and the OP in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results of the Company on a consolidated basis and how management operates the Company.

1. General

Organization and Description of Business. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (the Parent), through its controlling interest in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. (the Operating Partnership or the OP) and the subsidiaries of the OP (collectively, we, our, us or the Company), is a leading global provider of data center (including colocation and interconnection) solutions for customers across a variety of industry verticals ranging from cloud and information technology services, social networking and communications to financial services, manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and consumer products. The OP, a Maryland limited partnership, is the entity through which the Parent, a Maryland corporation, conducts its business of owning, acquiring, developing and operating data centers. The Parent operates as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

The Parent’s only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the OP. The Parent generally does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the OP, issuing public securities from time to time and guaranteeing certain unsecured debt of the OP and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates. The Parent has not issued any debt but guarantees the unsecured debt of the OP and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates.

The OP holds substantially all the assets of the Company. The OP conducts the operations of the business and has no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by the Parent, which are generally contributed to the OP in exchange for partnership units, the OP generally generates the capital required by the Company’s business primarily through the OP’s operations, by the OP’s or its affiliates’ direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of partnership units.

Accounting Principles and Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes (the “Financial Statements”) are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. All of the accounts of the Parent, the OP, and the subsidiaries of the OP are included in the accompanying Financial Statements. All material intercompany transactions with consolidated entities have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not always indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (“2021 Form 10-K”), as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, as filed with the SEC, and other filings with the SEC.

Management Estimates and Assumptions. U.S. GAAP requires that we make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period, reported amounts for assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Although we believe the estimates and assumptions we made are reasonable and appropriate, as discussed in the applicable sections throughout the consolidated financial statements, different assumptions and estimates could materially impact our reported results. Actual results and outcomes may differ from our assumptions.

New Accounting Pronouncements. Recently issued accounting pronouncements that have yet to be adopted by the Company are not expected to have a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Leases

Lessor Accounting

We generate most of our revenue by leasing operating properties to customers under operating lease agreements. We recognize the total minimum lease payments provided for under the leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term if we determine that it is probable that substantially all of the lease payments will be collected over the lease term. Otherwise, rental revenue is recognized based on the amount contractually due. Generally, under the terms of our leases, most of our rental expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, are recovered from our customers. We record amounts reimbursed by customers in the period the applicable expenses are incurred, which is generally ratably throughout the term of the lease. Reimbursements are recognized in rental and other services revenue in the condensed consolidated income statements as we are the primary obligor with respect to purchasing and selecting goods and services from third-party vendors and bearing the associated credit risk.

Lessee Accounting

We lease space at certain of our data centers from third parties and certain equipment under noncancelable lease agreements. Leases for our data centers expire at various dates through 2069. As of June 30, 2022, certain of our data centers, primarily in Europe and Singapore, are subject to ground leases. As of June 30, 2022, the termination dates of these ground leases generally range from 2049 to 2108. In addition, our corporate headquarters along with several regional office locations are subject to leases with termination dates ranging from 2022 to 2028. The leases generally require us to make fixed rental payments that increase at defined intervals during the term of the lease plus pay our share of common area, real estate and utility expenses as incurred. The leases neither contain residual value guarantees nor impose material restrictions or covenants on us. Further, the leases have been classified and accounted for as either operating or finance leases. Rent expense related to operating leases included in rental property operating and maintenance expense in the condensed consolidated income statements amounted to approximately $35.6 million and $37.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and approximately $73.0 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

Deferred Rent

Deferred rent receivables represent rental income that has been recognized as revenue under ASC 842, but which is not yet due from customers under their existing rental agreements. The Company recognizes an allowance against deferred rent receivables to the extent it becomes no longer probable that a customer or group of customers will be able to make substantially all of their required cash rental payments over the entirety of their respective lease terms.

Total					$	1,942,549	$	1,807,689

DCREIT – Digital Core REIT is a standalone real estate investment trust publicly-traded on the Singapore Exchange under the ticker symbol “DCRU”. Digital Core REIT owns 10 operating data center properties. The Company’s ownership interest in the units of DCRU, as well as its ownership interest in the operating properties of DCRU are collectively referred to as the Company’s investment in DCREIT. As of June 30, 2022, the Company held 35% of the outstanding DCRU units and separately owned a 10% retained interest in the underlying operating properties. The Company’s 35% interest in DCRU consisted of 392 million units and 390 million units as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Based on the closing price per unit of $0.77 as of June 30, 2022, the fair value of the units the Company owns in DCRU was approximately $302 million. Based on the closing price per unit of $1.16 as of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the units the Company owns in DCRU was approximately $453 million. This value does not include the value of the Company’s 10% interest in the operating properties of DCRU, because the associated ownership interests are not publicly traded. The Company accounts for its investment in DCREIT as an equity method investment (and not at fair value) based on the significant influence it is able to exert on DCREIT. The Company determined that the decline in fair value of the investment in DCRU as compared to the Company’s book basis as of June 30, 2022 was temporary in nature.

Pursuant to contractual agreements with the DCRU and its operating properties, the Company will earn fees for asset and property management services as well as fees for aiding in future acquisition, disposition and development activities. Certain of these fees are payable to the Company in the form of additional units in DCRU or in cash. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company earned fees pursuant to these contractual agreements of approximately $2.8 million and $5.1 million, respectively, which is recorded as fee income and other on the condensed consolidated income statement.

Ascenty – The Company’s ownership interest in Ascenty includes an approximate 2% interest held by one of the Company’s non-controlling interest holders. This 2% interest had a carrying value of approximately $22.6 million and $20.9 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Ascenty is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to this VIE is limited to our equity investment in the entity.

The debt of our unconsolidated entities generally is non-recourse to us, except for customary exceptions pertaining to matters such as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions, and material misrepresentations.

6. Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Changes in the value of goodwill at June 30, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021 were driven by changes in exchange rates associated with goodwill balances denominated in foreign currencies – primarily the devaluation of the Euro as compared to the U.S. dollar.

7. Acquired Intangible Assets and Liabilities

Acquired below-market leases		(347,781)		252,627		(95,154)		(351,052)		247,877		(103,175)

Amortization of customer relationship value, acquired in-place lease value and other intangibles (a component of depreciation and amortization expense) was approximately $57.3 million and $66.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 respectively, and approximately $118.9 million and $134.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Amortization of acquired below-market leases, net of acquired above-market leases, resulted in an increase in rental and other services revenue of $0.3 million and a decrease of $(1.1) million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively and $0.6 million and $(2.6) million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

10. Equity and Capital

Equity Distribution Agreement

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. were parties to an at-the-market (ATM) equity offering sales agreement dated January 4, 2019, as amended in 2020 (the “2020 Sales Agreement”). Pursuant to the 2020 Sales Agreement, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. was able to issue and sell common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $1.0 billion through various named agents from time to time. The 2020 Sales Agreement was terminated on April 1, 2022 when Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. entered into a new ATM equity offering sales agreement dated April 1, 2022 (the “2022 Sales Agreement”). At the time of the termination, $577.6 million remained unsold under the 2020 Sales Agreement. Pursuant to the 2022 Sales Agreement , Digital Realty Trust, Inc. can issue and sell common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $1.5 billion through various named agents from time to time. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had 0 sales under the 2022 Sales Agreement and $1.5 billion is still available.

Forward Equity Sale

On September 13, 2021, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. completed an underwritten public offering of 6,250,000 shares of its common stock, all of which were offered in connection with forward sale agreements it entered into with certain financial institutions acting as forward purchasers. The forward purchasers borrowed and sold an aggregate of 6,250,000 shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock in the public offering. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. did not receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the forward purchasers in the public offering. The Company may receive gross proceeds of approximately $1.0 billion (based on the offering price of $155.69 per share) upon full physical settlement of the forward sale agreements, which is to be no later than March 13, 2023.

Upon physical settlement of the forward sale agreements, the Operating Partnership is expected to issue general partner common partnership units to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. in exchange for contribution of the net proceeds.

We account for our forward equity sales agreements in accordance with the accounting guidance governing financial instruments and derivatives. As of June 30, 2022, NaN of our forward equity sales agreements were deemed to be liabilities as they did not embody obligations to repurchase our shares, nor did they embody obligations to issue a variable number of shares for which the monetary value was predominantly fixed, varied with something other than the fair value of our shares, or varied inversely in relation to our shares. We also evaluated whether the agreements met the derivatives and hedging guidance scope exception to be accounted for as equity instruments and concluded that the agreements could be classified as equity contracts based on the following assessment: (i) none of the agreements’ exercise contingencies were based on observable markets or indices besides those related to the market for our own stock price and operations; and (ii) none of the settlement provisions precluded the agreements from being indexed to our own stock.

12. Incentive Plans

2014 Incentive Award Plan

The Company provides incentive awards in the form of common stock or awards convertible into common stock pursuant to the Digital Realty Trust, Inc., Digital Services, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. 2014 Incentive Award Plan, as amended (the “Incentive Plan”). The major categories of awards that can be issued under the Incentive Plan include:

Long-Term Incentive Units (“LTIP Units”): LTIP Units, in the form of profits interest units of the Operating Partnership, may be issued to eligible participants for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Operating Partnership. LTIP Units (other than Class D units), whether vested or not, receive the same quarterly per-unit distributions as Operating Partnership common units. Initially, LTIP Units do not have full parity with common units with respect to liquidating distributions. However, if such parity is reached, vested LTIP Units may be converted into an equal number of common units of the Operating Partnership at any time. The awards generally vest over periods between two and four years.

Service-Based Restricted Stock Units: Service-based Restricted Stock Units, which vest over periods between two and four years, convert to shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock upon vesting.

Performance-Based Awards (“the Performance Awards”): Performance Awards in the form of Class D units of the Operating Partnership and Restricted Stock Units covering shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock may be issued to officers and employees of the Company. Depending on the award, the total number of units that qualify to fully

vest is determined based on either a market performance criterion (“Market-Based Performance Awards”) or financial performance criterion (“Financial-Based Performance Awards”).

Market-Based Performance Awards.

The percentage of the total number of units that performance vest for Market-Based Performance Awards is determined by comparing the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the MSCI US REIT Index (“RMS”) over a three-year period. The awards then have a time-based vesting element that allows for 50% of the performance-vested units to fully vest in the immediately following year and 50% of the performance-vested units to fully vest in the next-subsequent year. The fair value of these awards is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the probability of the market vesting condition being satisfied.

Achievement of the market performance condition is measured based on the difference between Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s TSR percentage and the TSR percentage of the RMS as is shown in the subsequent table (the “RMS Relative Market Performance”).
