General | 1. General Organization and Description of Business. 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.

Business Combinations | 3. Business Combinations On August 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of a 61.1% indirect controlling interest in Teraco, a leading carrier-neutral data center and interconnection services provider in South Africa (the “Teraco Acquisition”). The total purchase price was $1.7 billion cash, funded by our global revolving credit facility and partial settlement of our forward equity sale agreements described under Note 11. “Equity and Capital—Forward Equity Sale.” Teraco controls (and consolidates) the Teraco Connect Trust (“the Trust”) that was created as part of the Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment Program in South Africa. The Trust owns a Goodwill Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest (“Redeemable NCI”) — Since the Rollover Shareholders can redeem the put right at their discretion and such redemption, which could be in cash, is outside the Company’s control, the Company recorded the noncontrolling interest as Redeemable NCI and classified it in temporary equity within its condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Redeemable NCI was initially recorded at its acquisition-date fair value and will be adjusted each reporting period for income (or loss) attributable to the noncontrolling interest (a $2.3 million net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2023). If the contractual redemption value of the Redeemable NCI is greater than its carrying value, an adjustment is made to reflect Redeemable NCI at the higher of its contractual redemption value or its carrying value each reporting period. Changes to the redemption value are recognized immediately in the period the change occurs. If the redemption value of the Redeemable NCI is equal to or less than the fair market value of the Remaining Teraco Interest, the change in the redemption value will be adjusted through Additional Paid in Capital. If the redemption value is greater than the fair market value of the Remaining Teraco Interest, the change in redemption value will be adjusted through Retained Earnings. These adjustments are not reflected on the Company’s income statement, but are instead reflected as adjustments to the net income component of the Company’s earnings per share calculations. When calculating earnings per share attributable to Digital Realty Trust, Inc., the Company adjusts net income attributable to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. to the extent the redemption value exceeds the fair value of the Redeemable NCI on a cumulative basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, no such adjustment was required. |

Leases | |
Leases | 4. 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, some 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 March 31, 2023, certain of our data centers, primarily in Europe and Singapore, are subject to ground leases. As of March 31, 2023, the termination dates of these ground leases generally range from 2027 to 2108. In addition, our corporate headquarters along with several regional office locations are subject to leases with termination dates ranging from 2023 to 2041. 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 was approximately $38.4 million and $37.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. |

We had concluded that we would consolidate the joint venture during the development phase of the buildings because we had the power to direct activities that most significantly impacted the joint venture’s economic performance, however, upon the building’s completion and commencing the operational phase, we no longer have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint venture’s economic performance and deconsolidated the joint venture and recognized the investment under the equity method as we still retained significant influence. DCREIT As of March 31, 2023, the Company held 35% of the outstanding DCRU units and separately owned a 10% direct retained interest in the underlying North American operating properties and a 75% direct retained interest in the underlying German operating property. The Company’s 35% interest in DCRU consisted of 399 million units and 396 million units as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Based on the closing price per unit of $0.445 and $0.55 as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, the fair value of the units the Company owned in DCRU was approximately $178 million and $218 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. These values do not include the value of the Company’s 10% interest in the North American operating properties and 75% interest in the German operating property 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 March 31, 2023 was temporary in nature. Pursuant to contractual agreements with 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 months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company earned fees pursuant to these contractual agreements of approximately $2.3 million, which is recorded as fee income and other on the condensed consolidated income statement.

Restrictive Covenants in Unsecured Senior Notes The indentures governing our senior notes contain certain covenants, including (1) a leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, (2) a secured debt leverage ratio not to exceed 40% and (3) an interest coverage ratio of greater than 1.50. The covenants also require us to maintain total unencumbered assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of unsecured debt.

Early Extinguishment of Unsecured Senior Notes We recognized the following losses on early extinguishment of unsecured notes: ● During the three months ended March 31, 2022 : $51.1 million primarily due to redemption of the 4.750% Notes due 2025 in February 2022. USD Term Loan Agreement On October 25, 2022, the Company, the Operating Partnership, and certain of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries entered into an escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), certain lenders (the “Lenders”), and Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to which the Operating Partnership, the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders delivered executed signature pages to a new term loan agreement among the Operating Partnership, the Company, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (the “Term Loan Agreement”) to be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent and released by the Escrow Agent upon satisfaction of the terms described in the Escrow Agreement. On January 9, 2023, the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement were satisfied, and, on such date, the Term Loan Agreement was deemed executed and became effective. The Term Loan Agreement provides for a $740 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”). The Term Loan Facility provides for borrowings in U.S. dollars. The Term Loan Facility will mature on March 31, 2025, subject to one twelve-month extension option at the Operating Partnership’s option; provided, that the Operating Partnership must pay a 0.1875% extension fee based on the then-outstanding principal amount of the term loans under the Term Loan Facility. |

Incentive Plans | 13. 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”) two Service-Based Restricted Stock Units two Performance-Based Awards (“the Performance Awards”): Market-Based Performance Awards. The market performance criterion compares Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the MSCI US REIT Index (“RMS”) over a three-year performance period (“Market Performance Period”), subject to continued service, in order to determine the percentage of the total eligible pool of units that qualifies to be awarded. Following the completion of the Market Performance Period, the awards then have a time-based vesting element pursuant to which 50% of the performance-vested units fully vest in the February immediately following the end of the Market Performance Period and 50% of the performance-vested units fully vest in the subsequent February. Vesting with respect to the market 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”). Market Performance RMS Relative Vesting Level Market Performance Percentage Below Threshold Level ≤ -500 basis points 0 % Threshold Level -500 basis points 25 % Target Level 0 basis points 50 % High Level ≥ 500 basis points 100 % If the RMS Relative Market Performance falls between the levels specified in the above table, the percentage of the award that will vest with respect to the market condition will be determined using straight-line linear interpolation between such levels. 2020 Awards ● In January 2023, the RMS Relative Market Performance fell between the threshold and target levels for the 2020 awards and, accordingly, 72,230 Class D units and 7,083 Restricted Stock Units performance vested and qualified for time-based vesting. ● The Class D units included 5,841 distribution equivalent units that immediately vested on December 31, 2022. ● On February 27, 2023, 50% of the 2020 awards vested and the remaining 50% will vest on February 27, 2024, subject to continued employment through the applicable vesting date. The grant date fair value of the Market-Based Performance Awards was approximately $8.2 million and $12.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This amount will be recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the expected service period of approximately four years. Financial-Based Performance Awards. On March 4, 2022, the Company granted Financial-Based Performance Awards, based on growth in core funds from operation (“Core FFO”) during the three-year period commencing on January 1, 2022. The awards have a time-based vesting element consistent with the Market-Based Performance Awards discussed above. For these awards, fair value is based on market value on the date of grant and compensation cost is recognized based on the probable achievement of the performance condition at each reporting period. The grant date fair value of these awards is Other Items In addition to the LTIP Units, service-based Restricted Stock Units and Performance Awards described above, one-time grants of time and/or performance-based Class D units and Restricted Stock Units were issued in connection with the Company’s combination with InterXion Holding N.V. These awards vest over a period of two and three years based on continued service and/or the attainment of performance metrics related to successful integration of the Interxion business. As of March 31, 2023, approximately 4.3 million shares of common stock, including awards that can be converted to or exchanged for shares of common stock, remained available for future issuance under the Incentive Plan. Each LTIP unit and each Class D unit issued under the Incentive Plan counts as one share of common stock for purposes of calculating the limit on shares that may be issued under the Incentive Plan and the individual award limits set forth therein.

Derivative Instruments | 14. Derivative Instruments Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments Net Investment Hedges In September 2022, we entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps, which effectively convert a portion of our U.S. dollar-denominated fixed-rate debt to foreign currency-denominated fixed-rate debt in order to hedge the currency exposure associated with our net investment in foreign subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2023, we had cross-currency interest rate swaps outstanding with notional amounts of $1.55 billion and maturity dates ranging through 2028. The effect of these net investment hedges on accumulated other comprehensive income and the condensed consolidated income statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 Cross-currency interest rate swaps (included component) (1) $ 14,365 $ — Cross-currency interest rate swaps (excluded component) (2) (9,478) — Total $ 4,887 $ — Three Months Ended March 31, Location of gain or (loss) 2023 2022 Cross-currency interest rate swaps (excluded component) (2) Interest expense $ 5,589 $ — (1) Included component represents foreign exchange spot rates.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to interest rate swaps are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our debt. As of March 31, 2023, we had no material interest rate swap agreements outstanding.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments | 15. Fair Value of Financial Instruments There have been no significant changes in our policy for fair value measurements from what was disclosed in our 2022 Form 10-K. The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, accrued dividends and distributions, security deposits and prepaid rents approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of our Global Revolving Credit Facilities and unsecured term loans approximates estimated fair value, because these liabilities have variable interest rates and our credit ratings have remained stable. Differences between the carrying value and fair value of our unsecured senior notes and secured and other debt are caused by differences in interest rates or borrowing spreads that were available to us on March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 as compared to those in effect when the debt was issued or assumed. We calculate the fair value of our secured and other debt and unsecured senior notes based on currently available market rates assuming the loans are outstanding through maturity and considering the collateral and other loan terms. In determining the current market rate for fixed rate debt, a market spread is added to the quoted yields on federal government treasury securities with similar maturity dates to our debt. The aggregate estimated fair value and carrying value of our Global Revolving Credit Facilities, unsecured term loans, unsecured senior notes and secured and other debt as of the respective periods is shown below (in thousands): Categorization As of March 31, 2023 As of December 31, 2022 under the fair value Estimated Fair Estimated Fair hierarchy Value Carrying Value Value Carrying Value Global revolving credit facilities (1) Level 2 $ 2,531,056 $ 2,531,056 $ 2,167,889 $ 2,167,889 Unsecured term loans (1) Level 2 1,552,925 1,552,925 802,875 802,875 Unsecured senior notes (2) Level 2 11,524,720 13,357,299 11,331,989 13,220,961 Secured and other debt (2) Level 2 551,386 563,856 517,226 532,130 $ 16,160,087 $ 18,005,136 $ 14,819,979 $ 16,723,855 (1) The carrying value of our unsecured term loans approximates estimated fair value, due to the variability of interest rates and the stability of our credit ratings.

Organization and Description of Business | Organization and Description of Business. 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. |
