“I’m pleased to report that QTS has entered 2014 in a very strong position and I am proud of our team’s performance during the first quarter,” said Chad Williams, QTS’ Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to grow our business through our fully integrated technology services platform which allows us to deliver differentiated value through our 3C product offering in our mega data center sites. All of this is powered by our people who consistently provide premium customer service and market-leading security and compliance. Our momentum can be seen in our first quarter performance, as well as in our record net incremental leasing activity which is the second highest in QTS’ history.”
Williams added, “As of March 31, 2014, QTS’ booked-not-billed balance was a record $29.9 million of annualized rent, providing visibility to QTS’ future growth and momentum.”

an increase of 29% compared to $16.8 million for the first quarter of 2013. MRR as of March 31, 2014 was $14.6 million, an increase of 19% compared to MRR as of March 31, 2013 of $12.2 million, with total revenues increasing by 18% to $48.9 million for the first quarter 2014 compared to $41.5 million for the first quarter 2013.
Leasing Activity
During the first quarter of 2014, QTS entered into customer leases representing approximately $0.9 million of incremental MRR, net of downgrades, (and representing approximately $10.5 million of incremental annualized rent) at a weighted average rental rate of $1,195 per square foot. Although incremental MRR, net of downgrades, for the first quarter of 2014 was in line with the trailing four quarter average of $0.9 million of MRR, it represents the second highest quarter in the Company’s history and at a much higher average rate per square foot in comparison to the trailing four quarter average which was driven by a larger proportion of C2 (Colocation) and C3 (Cloud and Managed Services) space sold in the first quarter of 2014 compared to the four quarter average.
During the first quarter of 2014, QTS renewed leases with a total annualized rent of $5.0 million at an average rent per square foot of $770, which was 8.9% higher than the annualized rent prior to their respective renewals. The Company defines renewals as leases which the customer retains the same amount of space before and after renewal, which facilitates rate comparability. As summarized in more detail in our supplemental information, there is variability in our renewal rates and although this was a solid quarter, renewal rates are expected to continue to increase in the low single digits on average. Rental churn (which is the MRR impact from a customer completely departing the platform in a given period compared to the total MRR at the beginning of the period) for the first quarter of 2014 was 1.4%.
During the first quarter of 2014, QTS commenced customer leases (which includes new customers and also existing customers that renewed their lease term) representing approximately $1.0 million of MRR (and representing approximately $12.2 million of annualized rent) at $558 per square foot. This compares to customer leases representing an aggregate trailing four quarter average of approximately $1.8 million of MRR (representing approximately $21.0 million of annualized rent) at $360 per square foot. The difference in these commencements on a per square foot basis is largely due to the timing and magnitude of C1 lease commencements relative to C2/C3 lease commencements. A more detailed analysis of this activity is set forth in the Company’s supplemental information.
As of March 31, 2014, the booked-not-billed MRR balance (which represents customer leases that have been executed, but for which lease payments have not commenced as of March 31, 2014) was approximately $2.5 million, or $29.9 million of annualized rent. Of this booked-not-billed balance, approximately $0.6 million of MRR was attributable to new customers and approximately $1.9 million of MRR was attributable to existing customers. The booked-not-billed balance is expected to contribute an incremental $9.6 million to revenue in 2014 (representing $15.5 million in annualized revenues), an incremental $3.6 million in 2015 (representing $8.8 million in annualized revenues), and an incremental $5.6 million in annualized revenues thereafter.
Development and Redevelopment Activity
During the first quarter of 2014, the Company brought online approximately 50,000 net rentable square feet (“NRSF”) of raised floor at an aggregate cost of approximately $15 million at the Atlanta-Metro facility. In addition, during the first quarter of 2014 the Company continued redevelopment of the Dallas-Fort Worth, Atlanta – Metro, Richmond, Atlanta – Suwanee and Sacramento facilities. Space related to these redevelopment projects is expected to be ready for its intended use in the second and third quarters of 2014.

Reconciliations of Net Income (Loss) to FFO, Operating FFO & Adjusted Operating FFO
(in thousands)
The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), adjusted to exclude gains (or losses) from sales of property, real estate related depreciation and amortization and similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company generally calculates Operating FFO as FFO excluding certain non-recurring and primarily non-cash charges and gains and losses that management believes are not indicative of the results of the Company’s operating real estate portfolio. The Company believes that Operating FFO provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparisons of operating performance and liquidity between periods and, to the extent other REITs calculate Operating FFO on a comparable basis, between the Company and these other REITs. The Company calculates Adjusted Operating FFO by adding or subtracting from Operating FFO items such as: maintenance capital investment, paid leasing commissions, amortization of deferred financing costs, non- real estate depreciation, straight line rent adjustments, and non-cash compensation.

Reconciliations of Net Income (Loss) to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
(in thousands)
The Company calculates EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding interest expense and interest income, provision for income taxes (including income taxes applicable to sale of assets) and depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that EBITDA is another metric that is often utilized to evaluate and compare the Company’s ongoing operating results and also, in part, to assess the value of the Company’s operating portfolio. In addition to EBITDA, the Company calculates an adjusted measure of EBITDA, which the Company refers to as Adjusted EBITDA, as EBITDA excluding write off of unamortized deferred financing costs, gain on extinguishment of debt, transaction costs, equity-based compensation expense, restructuring charge, gain on legal settlement and gain on sale of real estate. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA provides investors with another financial measure that can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between REITs.

Reconciliations of Total Revenues to Recognized MRR in the period and MRR at period end
(in thousands)
The Company calculates MRR as monthly contractual revenue under signed leases as of a particular date, which includes revenue from its C1, C2 and C3 rental and cloud and managed services activities, but excludes customer recoveries, deferred set-up fees, variable related revenues, non-cash revenues and other one-time revenues. MRR does not include the impact from booked-not-billed leases (which represent customer leases that have been executed but for which lease payments have not commenced) as of a particular date, unless otherwise specifically noted. The Company calculates recognized MRR as the recurring revenue recognized during a given period, which includes revenue from its C1, C2 and C3 rental and cloud and managed services activities, but excludes customer recoveries, deferred set-up fees, variable related revenues, non-cash revenues and other one-time revenues. Management uses MRR and recognized MRR as supplemental performance measures because they provide useful measures of increases in contractual revenue from customer leases. A reconciliation of total revenues to recognized MRR in the period and MRR at period-end is presented below:
