Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and description of the business	Organization and description of the business Cyxtera Technologies, Inc. (“Cyxtera”) is a global data center leader in retail colocation and interconnection services. Cyxtera’s data center platform consists of 66 data centers across 33 markets on three continents. Cyxtera was incorporated in Delaware as Starboard Value Acquisition Corp. (“SVAC”) on November 14, 2019. On July 29, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), SVAC consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 21, 2021 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among SVAC, Cyxtera Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (now known as Cyxtera Technologies, LLC) (“Legacy Cyxtera”), Mundo Merger Sub 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of SVAC (“Merger Sub 1”), Mundo Merger Sub 2, LLC (now known as Cyxtera Holdings, LLC), a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of SVAC (“Merger Sub 2”), and Mundo Holdings, Inc. (“NewCo”), a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of SIS Holdings LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“SIS”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Legacy Cyxtera was contributed to NewCo and then converted into a limited liability company and, thereafter, Merger Sub 1 was merged with and into NewCo, with NewCo surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of SVAC and immediately following such merger and as part of the same overall transaction NewCo was merged with and into Merger Sub 2, with Merger Sub 2 surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of SVAC (the “Business Combination” and, collectively with the other transactions described in the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”). On the Closing Date, and in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, SVAC changed its name to Cyxtera Technologies, Inc. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Cyxtera” refer to the consolidated operations of Cyxtera Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries. References to “SVAC” refer to Starboard Value Acquisition Corp. prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and references to “Legacy Cyxtera” refer to the former Cyxtera Technologies, Inc. (now known as Cyxtera Technologies, LLC) prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. Legacy Cyxtera was deemed the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination based on an analysis of the criteria outlined in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations . This determination was primarily based on Legacy Cyxtera’s shareholders prior to the Business Combination having a majority of the voting power in the combined company, Legacy Cyxtera having the ability to appoint a majority of the board of directors of the combined company, Legacy Cyxtera’s existing management comprising the senior management of the combined company, Legacy Cyxtera’s operations comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company, Legacy Cyxtera being the larger entity based on historical revenues and business operations and the combined company assuming Legacy Cyxtera’s name. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Cyxtera issuing stock for the net assets of SVAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of SVAC are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. While SVAC was the legal acquirer in the Business Combination, because Legacy Cyxtera was deemed the accounting acquirer, the historical financial statements of Legacy Cyxtera became the historical financial statements of the combined company upon the consummation of the Business Combination. As a result, the financial statements included in this report reflect: (i) the historical operating results of Legacy Cyxtera prior to the Business Combination; (ii) the consolidated results of SVAC and Legacy Cyxtera following the close of the Business Combination; (iii) the assets and liabilities of Legacy Cyxtera at their historical cost; and (iv) the Company’s equity structure for all periods presented.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies	Basis of presentation and significant accounting policies a) Basis of presentation and use of estimates The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Cyxtera 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. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2021 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. The unaudited 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 (“US GAAP”). For further information, refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year. b) Risks and uncertainties Preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Examples include, but are not limited to, asset and goodwill impairments, allowance for doubtful accounts, future asset retirement obligations and the potential outcome of future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results and outcomes may differ from these estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The full impact that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will have on our future unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements remains uncertain and ultimately will depend on many factors, including the duration and potential cyclicity of the health crisis, further public policy actions to be taken in response, as well as the continued impact of the pandemic on the global economy and our customers and vendors. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of these potential impacts to our business and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. c) Update to significant accounting policies The Company’s significant accounting policies are detailed in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021 included within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Significant updates to our accounting policies as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-12, Leases , as well as the initial implementation guidance and subsequent amendments to ASU 2017-13, ASU 2018-01, ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2020-05 (collectively referred to as “Topic 842”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are discussed below. Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at its inception. The Company enters into lease arrangements primarily for data center spaces, office spaces and equipment. The Company recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for all leases with a term longer than 12 months, including renewals. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are classified and recognized at the commencement date. Lease liabilities are measured based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets consist of (i) initial measurement of the lease liability; (ii) lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received; and (iii) initial direct costs incurred by the Company. Lease payments may vary because of changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement, including changes in inflation indices. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate (such as the Consumer Price Index or a market interest rate) are included in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities using the index or rate at the commencement date. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are excluded from the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Since most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its own incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) on a collateralized basis in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company utilizes a market-based approach to estimate the IBR. The approach requires significant judgment. Therefore, the Company utilizes different data sets to estimate IBRs via an analysis of (i) yields on our outstanding traded bank loans (ii) yields on comparable credit rating composite curves and (iii) yields on comparable market curves. The majority of the Company’s lease arrangements include options to extend the lease. If the Company is reasonably certain to exercise such options, the periods covered by the options are included in the lease term. The Company recognizes rental expenses for operating leases that contain predetermined fixed escalation clauses on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the lease. The depreciable lives of certain fixed assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. The Company has certain leases that have an initial term of 12 months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. For such leases, the Company elected not to recognize any ROU asset or lease liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The Company elected to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets for which the Company has identified lease arrangements with non-lease components. Lease modifications In the normal course of business, the Company may modify leases, which could result in a change from the original lease classification (i.e. finance or operating leases). The Company remeasures the lease liability based on the lease term of the modified leases by discounting revised lease payments using a revised IBR at the effective date of the modification. The Company accounts for the remeasurement of lease liabilities and lease incentives from lessor by making corresponding adjustments to the relevant right-of-use asset. d) Recent accounting pronouncements The Company is as an “emerging growth company” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012, as amended (“JOBS Act”). The JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards, such that an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to avail itself of the extended transition periods and, as a result, the Company will not be required to adopt new or revised accounting standards on the adoption dates required for other public companies so long as the Company remains an emerging growth company. In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform , which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022 that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)-Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which requires companies to measure and recognize lifetime expected credit losses for certain financial instruments, including trade accounts receivable. Expected credit losses are estimated using relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This amendment is effective commencing in 2023 with early adoption permitted, and the Company expects to adopt the new standard on the effective date or the date it no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, whichever is earlier. Entities are permitted to use a modified retrospective approach. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. We adopted the amendments in Topic 740 as of January 1, 2022, without a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2020, the 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)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity . The guidance simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current US GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2022 without a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, FASB issued Topic 842, which replaced the guidance in former ASC Topic 840, Leases . The new lease guidance increases transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s future obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) an operating lease ROU asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The accounting for the Company’s finance leases remains substantially unchanged . Topic 842 allows entities to adopt using one of two methods: the modified retrospective transition method or the alternative transition method. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company adopted Topic 842, with an effective date of January 1, 2022, using the alternative transition method. Therefore, results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2022 are presented under Topic 842, while comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company recognized the cumulative effects of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. In adopting the new guidance, the Company elected to apply the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance, which allows the Company not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts contain leases under the new definition of a lease; (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (3) whether previously capitalized initial direct costs would qualify for capitalization under Topic 842. Adoption of the standard had a significant impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, including the (1) recognition of new ROU assets and liabilities on its balance sheet for all operating leases; and (2) reclassification of previously recognized lease abandonment liabilities, deferred rent, and favorable and unfavorable lease interests, as a reduction of or addition to the ROU assets recognized at adoption. The adoption of the standard did not have a significant impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and statements of cash flow. The cumulative effect of the changes made to our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2022 due to the adoption of Topic 842 was as follows (in millions): Balance Sheet Balances at December 31, 2021 Adjustments due to adoption of Topic 842 Balances at January 1, 2022 Assets Operating lease right-of-use assets $ — $ 290.6 $ 290.6 Intangible assets, net 519.8 (32.7) 487.1 Liabilities Current portion of operating lease liabilities — 32.2 32.2 Operating lease liabilities, less current portion — 319.0 319.0 Other liabilities 158.2 (93.3) 64.9 See Note 10 - Leases for additional information.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Business combination	Business combination Acquisition of Legacy Cyxtera On July 29, 2021, Legacy Cyxtera consummated the Business Combination with SVAC, with Legacy Cyxtera deemed the accounting acquirer. The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with US GAAP. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Cyxtera issuing stock for the net assets of SVAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. As stated in Note 1, in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, SVAC was renamed Cyxtera Technologies, Inc. Of the 40,423,453 shares of SVAC’s Class A common stock (“Public Shares”) issued in its initial public offering (“IPO”) in September 2020, holders of 26,176,891 shares of SVAC’s Class A common stock properly exercised their right to have such shares redeemed for a full pro rata portion of the trust account holding the proceeds from the IPO, calculated as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, which was approximately $10.00 per share or $261.8 million in the aggregate. As a result, 14,246,562 shares of Class A common stock remained outstanding leaving $142.5 million in the trust account. As a result of the Business Combination, 106,100,000 shares of Class A common stock were issued to SIS, the sole shareholder of Legacy Cyxtera prior to the Business Combination, and 25,000,000 shares of Class A common stock were issued to certain qualified institutional buyers and accredited investors, at a price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate consideration of $250.0 million, for the purpose of raising additional capital for use by the combined company following the closing of the Business Combination and satisfying one of the conditions to the closing (the “PIPE Investment”). Additionally, as a result of the Business Combination, 10,526,315 shares of Class A common stock were issued to certain clients of Starboard Value LP (the “Forward Purchasers”) for $100.0 million and 10,105,863 shares of SVAC Class B common stock held by SVAC Sponsor LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Sponsor”), automatically converted to 10,105,863 shares of Class A common stock. In connection with the IPO, the Forward Purchasers and SVAC entered into an Optional Share Purchase Agreement, dated September 9, 2020 (the “Optional Share Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Forward Purchasers were granted the option, exercisable anytime or from time to time for the six-month period following the day that is the first business day following the closing of the Company’s initial business combination, to purchase common equity of the surviving entity in the initial business combination (the “Optional Shares”) at a price per Optional Share of $10.00, subject to adjustments. In connection with the Merger Agreement, Legacy Cyxtera and the Forward Purchasers entered into a letter agreement pursuant to which the Forward Purchasers agreed not to purchase Optional Shares for an aggregate amount exceeding $75.0 million . On July 29, 2021, immediately prior to the consummation of the Transactions, Legacy Cyxtera entered into a second letter agreement (the “Optional Purchase Letter Agreement”) with the Forward Purchasers pursuant to which the parties agreed to amend the Optional Share Purchase Agreement to limit the number of Optional Shares available for purchase by the Forward Purchasers in the six-month period following the Transactions from $75.0 million to $37.5 million. Additionally, pursuant to an assignment agreement entered into concurrently with the Optional Purchase Letter Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”), the Forward Purchasers agreed to assign an option to purchase $37.5 million of Optional Shares under the Optional Share Purchase Agreement to SIS. As a result of the Optional Purchase Letter Agreement and the Assignment Agreement, each of SIS and the Forward Purchasers had the ability to purchase, at a price of $10.00 per share, up to 3.75 million shares of Class A common stock (for a combined maximum amount of $75.0 million or 7.5 million shares) during the six-month period following the day that is the first business day following the closing date of the Transactions. The exercise price of $10.00 per share was subject to adjustment in proportion to any stock dividends, stock splits, reverse stock splits or similar transactions. On January 31, 2022, SIS and the Forward Purchasers exercised the option, and Cyxtera issued 7.5 million shares of Class A common stock to SIS and the Forward Purchasers at a price of $10.00 per share, for aggregate consideration of $75.0 million. Since SIS and the Forward Purchasers exercised the option, the Company was obligated to issue shares of Class A common stock in exchange for cash (and the option settled on a gross basis). The accounting guidance in ASC Subtopic 815-40, Derivatives and Hedging: Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity ( “ASC Subtopic 815-40” ), states that contracts should be classified as equity instruments (and not as an asset or liability) if they are both (1) indexed to the issuer’s own stock and (2) classified in stockholders’ equity in the issuer’s statement of financial position. The optional share purchase options were indexed to the Company’s Class A common stock because the options were considered a fixed-for-fixed option on equity shares, pursuant to which the option holder would receive a fixed number of Class A common stock for a fixed conversion price of $10.00 per share. The Optional Share Purchase Agreement contained no contingent exercise or settlement provisions that would preclude equity classification. After giving effect to the Transactions, the redemption of the Public Shares as described above, the issuance of shares as part of the forward purchase and the consummation of the PIPE Investment, there were 165,978,740 shares of Class A common stock issued and outstanding. The Class A common stock and Public Warrants (as defined in Note 4) commenced trading on the Nasdaq Stock Market, LLC (“Nasdaq”) on July 30, 2021. As noted above, an aggregate of $261.8 million was paid from SVAC’s trust account to holders that properly exercised their right to have Public Shares redeemed, and the remaining balance immediately prior to the closing remained in the trust account. After taking into account the funds of $142.5 million in the trust account and $1.4 million from SVAC’s cash operating accounts after redemptions, the $250.0 million in gross proceeds from the PIPE Investment and the $100.0 million in gross proceeds from the forward purchase, the Company received approximately $493.9 million in total cash from the Business Combination, before direct and incremental transaction costs of approximately $59.4 million and debt repayment of $433.0 million plus accrued interest. The $433.0 million debt repayment includes the full repayment of Legacy Cyxtera’s 2017 Second Lien Term Facility (as defined in Note 11) of $310.0 million and pay down of Legacy Cyxtera’s Revolving Facility and 2021 Revolving Facility (each as defined in Note 11) of $123.0 million, plus accrued interest. In December 2021, the Company announced that it would redeem all of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 4) that remained outstanding as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 19, 2022. On January 26, 2022, the Company announced that it had completed the redemption of all of its outstanding warrants that were issued under the warrant agreement and that remained outstanding at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 19, 2022. Upon completion of the redemption, the Public Warrants ceased trading on the Nasdaq and were deregistered. Prior to the Business Combination, Legacy Cyxtera and SVAC filed separate standalone federal, state and local income tax returns. As a result of the Business Combination, which qualified as a reverse recapitalization, SVAC (now known as Cyxtera Technologies, Inc.) became the parent of the consolidated filing group, with Legacy Cyxtera (now known as Cyxtera Technologies, LLC) as a subsidiary. The following table reconciles the elements of the Business Combination to the consolidated statements of cash flows and the consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity for the year ended December 31, 2021: Recapitalization SVAC’s trust and cash, net of redemptions $ 143.9 Cash - PIPE Investment 250.0 Cash - Forward Purchase 100.0 Less: transaction costs and advisory fees, net of tax benefit (59.4) Net proceeds from reverse recapitalization 434.5 Plus: non-cash net liabilities assumed (1) (41.8) Less: accrued transaction costs and advisory fees (0.4) Net contributions from reverse recapitalization $ 392.3 (1) Represents $41.8 million of non-cash Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants liabilities assumed.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Loss per common share	Loss per common share Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss (the numerator) by the weighted-average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding (the denominator) for the period. Diluted loss per share assumes that any dilutive equity instruments were exercised with outstanding Class A common stock adjusted accordingly when the conversion of such instruments would be dilutive. The Company’s potential dilutive shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, including public warrants (“Public Warrants”) and private placement warrants (“Private Placement Warrants”), unvested employee stock options, unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”), unvested performance stock units (“PSUs”), unissued employee stock purchase plan shares (“ESPP shares”) and options issued to the Forward Purchasers and SIS pursuant to the Optional Share Purchase Agreement, have been excluded from diluted net loss per share as the effect would be to reduce the net loss per share. The Company excluded the following potential shares of Class A common stock, from the computation of diluted net loss per share during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 because including them would have an anti-dilutive effect: Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2022 2021 2021 Unvested employee stock options 830,547 830,547 849,233 849,233 Unvested RSUs 4,033,985 4,033,985 — — Unvested PSUs 349,766 349,766 — — Unissued ESPP shares 173,665 173,665 — — Optional shares (1) — 7,500,000 7,500,000 7,500,000 Public and Private Placement Warrants (2) — 19,356,867 20,197,323 20,197,323 Total shares 5,387,963 32,244,830 28,546,556 28,546,556 (1) Optional shares were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share for the periods these instruments represented potential dilutive common stock equivalents during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring, impairment, site closures and related costs	Restructuring, impairment, site closures and related costs Addison site In January 2021, the Company notified the landlord of the Addison office space in Texas of its intent to sublease the property for the remaining 10 years. The Company ceased use of and subleased the space during the three months ended March 31, 2021. In connection with this decision, the Company incurred $7.9 million of expenses, including $5.9 million of accrued lease termination costs and $2.0 million of asset disposals. Moses Lake site In February 2021, the Company notified the landlord of the Moses Lake data center facility in the State of Washington of its intent to cease the use of the space. Accordingly, the Company accelerated depreciation and amortization of all assets on the site, including favorable leasehold interest amortization, which resulted in no additional depreciation and amortization during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and no additional favorable leasehold interest amortization and $0.6 million of additional favorable leasehold interest amortization, recorded in cost of revenues, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. The Company ceased use of the property in June 2021 at which time it met the conditions for recording a charge related to the remaining lease obligation of $58.5 million. There is no sublease in place on this property. Furthermore, management believes the ability to sublease the property is remote and as such has not made any assumption for the future cash flows from a potential sublease in making this estimate. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted Topic 842, and reclassified $53.0 million of the restructuring liability reserve representing lease abandonment liabilities to the ROU asset. As of September 30, 2022, the restructuring liability reserve relates to the ASC 420 , Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, lease abandonment liability for Moses Lake, which was in excess of the ROU asset adjustment. The restructuring liability reserve is included in other liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The activity in restructuring liability reserve for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was as follows (in millions): Nine Months Ended 2022 2021 Balance at beginning of the period $ 62.3 $ — Lease termination costs — 64.4 Reclassification of deferred rent credits — 3.4 Reclassification of the restructuring liability reserve to ROU Asset (53.0) — Accretion 0.5 2.0 Payments (0.9) (6.1) Balance at end of the period $ 8.9 $ 63.7

Revenue

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue	Revenue Disaggregation of revenue The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into recurring revenues and non-recurring revenues. Cyxtera derives the majority of its revenues from recurring revenue streams, consisting primarily of colocation service fees. These fees are generally billed monthly and recognized ratably over the term of the contract. The Company’s non-recurring revenues are primarily comprised of installation services related to a customer’s initial deployment and professional services the Company performs. These services are considered to be non-recurring because they are billed typically once, upon completion of the installation or the professional services work performed. The majority of these non-recurring revenues are typically billed on the first invoice distributed to the customer in connection with their initial installation. However, revenues from installation services are deferred and recognized ratably over the period of the contract term in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”) as discussed in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, included within the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Recurring revenue $ 178.1 $ 169.3 $ 526.0 $ 501.2 Non-recurring revenues 8.5 7.8 27.0 24.1 Total $ 186.6 $ 177.1 $ 553.0 $ 525.3 Contract balances The following table summarizes the opening and closing balances of the Company’s receivables; contract asset, current; contract asset, non-current; deferred revenue, current; and deferred revenue, non-current (in millions): Receivables Contract asset, current Contract asset, non-current Deferred revenue, current Deferred revenue, non-current Closing balances as of December 31, 2020 $ 33.5 $ 23.8 $ 16.8 $ 15.6 $ 18.1 Net (decrease) increase during the three months ended March 31, 2021 (20.9) (1.8) (2.7) (0.5) (2.0) Closing balances as of March 31, 2021 12.6 22.0 14.1 15.1 16.1 Net increase (decrease) during the three months ended June 30, 2021 3.7 (2.4) (1.5) (0.4) (0.8) Closing balances as of June 30, 2021 16.3 19.6 12.6 14.7 15.3 Net increase (decrease) during the three months ended September 30, 2021 9.9 (1.3) (1.7) 0.4 1.4 Closing balances as of September 30, 2021 $ 26.2 $ 18.3 $ 10.9 $ 15.1 $ 16.7 Closing balances as of December 31, 2021 $ 18.3 $ 17.2 $ 12.1 $ 14.5 $ 14.7 Net increase (decrease) during the three months ended March 31, 2022 9.4 (1.1) 0.5 — (0.6) Closing balances as of March 31, 2022 27.7 16.1 12.6 14.5 14.1 Net increase (decrease) during the three months ended June 30, 2022 10.8 (1.8) 1.4 0.4 — Closing balances as of June 30, 2022 38.5 14.3 14.0 14.9 14.1 Net (decrease) increase during the three months ended September 30, 2022 (18.3) 0.8 0.3 0.3 0.1 Closing balances as of September 30, 2022 $ 20.2 $ 15.1 $ 14.3 $ 15.2 $ 14.2 The difference between the opening and closing balances of the Company’s contract assets and deferred revenues primarily results from the timing difference between the Company’s performance obligation and the customer’s payment. The amounts of revenue recognized during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 from the opening deferred revenue balanc e was $11.3 million and $12.1 million , respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, no impairment loss related to contract balances was recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition to the contract liab ility amounts shown above, deferred revenue on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets includes $48.9 million and $46.1 million of advanced billings as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Contract costs The ending balance of net capitalized contract costs as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $29.4 million and $29.3 million, respectively, $15.1 million and $17.2 million of which were included in prepaid and other current assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and $14.3 million and $12.1 million of which were included in other assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, $14.7 million and $20.6 million, respectively, of contract costs were amortized, $5.4 million and $12.1 million of which were included in cost of revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $9.3 million and $8.5 million of which were included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Remaining performance obligations Under colocation contracts, Cyxtera’s performance obligations are to provide customers with space and power through fixed duration agreements, which are typically three years. Under these arrangements, the Company bills customer on a monthly basis. Under interconnection agreements, Cyxtera’s performance obligations are to provide customers the ability to establish connections to their network service providers and business partners. Interconnection services are typically offered on month-to-month contract terms and generate recurring revenue. Cyxtera’s remaining performance obligations under its colocation agreements represent contracted revenue that has not been recognized, which includes deferred revenue and amounts that will be invoiced and recognized in future periods. The remaining performance obligations do not include estimates of variable consideration related to unsatisfied performance obligations, such as the usage of metered power, or any contracts that could be terminated without significant penalties such as the majority of interconnection revenues. The aggregate amount allocated to performance obligations that were unsatisfied or partially satisfied as of September 30, 2022 was $869.1 million, of which 44%, 27% and 29% is expected to be recognized over the next year, the next one to two years, and thereafter, respectively. The aggregate amount allocated to performance obligations that were unsatisfied as of December 31, 2021 was $818.0 million, of which 45%, 27% and 28% is expected to be recognized over the next year, the next one to two years, and thereafter, respectively. While initial contract terms vary in length, substantially all contracts automatically renew in one-year increments. Included in the performance obligations is either 1) remaining performance obligations under the initial contract terms or 2) remaining performance obligations related to contracts in the renewal period once the initial terms have lapsed.

Balance sheet components	Balance sheet components Allowance for doubtful accounts The activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts during t he nine months ended September 30, 2022 and the year ended December 31, 2021 was as follows (in millions): September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Beginning balance $ 0.3 $ 1.4 (Write-offs) Recoveries 0.3 0.1 Reversal of allowance (0.4) (1.2) Ending balance $ 0.2 $ 0.3 Factored receivables On February 9, 2021, a subsidiary of Cyxtera entered into a Master Receivables Purchase Agreement ( the “Factoring Agreement”) with Nomura Corporate Funding America, LLC (the “Factor”) to factor up to $37.5 million in open trade receivables at any point during the term of the commitment, which extends for a period of 540 days provided that the Factor has the right to impose additional conditions to its obligations to complete any purchase after 360 days. The Factor has not imposed any such additional conditions. Pursuant to the terms of the arrangement, a subsidiary of the Company shall, from time to time, sell to the Factor certain of its accounts receivable balances on a non-recourse basis for credit approved accounts. The agreement allows for up to 85% of the face amount of an invoice to be factored. The unused balance fee under the arrangement is 2%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s subsidiary factored $10.9 million of receivables and received $10.7 million, net of fees of $0.2 million. During the n ine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company factored $91.5 million of receivables and collected $90.1 million, net of fees of $1.4 million. Cash collected under this arrangement is reflected within the change in accounts receivables in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. On August 31, 2022, the Company terminated the Factoring Agreement. Accounts Receivable Sales Program On August 31, 2022, the Company entered into an Accounts Receivable Sales Program with PNC Bank, National Association and the other parties thereto (the “A/R Program”) for an investment limit of $37.5 million, which terminates on August 31, 2025 unless extended. Under the A/R Program, certain of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries continuously sell (or contribute) receivables to a wholly owned special purpose entity at fair market value. The Company then designates certain of the receivables to be sold by the special purpose entity to an unaffiliated financial institution (the “Purchaser”) and the special purpose entity grants a security interest in the remaining receivables to the Purchaser such that the Purchaser has recourse to all receivables transferred to the special purpose entity to recover its investment. Although the special purpose entity is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, it is a separate legal entity with its own separate creditors who will be entitled, upon its liquidation, to be satisfied out of its assets prior to any assets or value in such special purpose entity becoming available to its equity holders and its assets are not available to pay other creditors of the Company. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $19.6 million drawn on the investment limit. The investments made by the Purchaser yield interest based on a variable rate which is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin. All transactions under the A/R Program are accounted for as a true sale in accordance with ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing (“Topic 860”). Following the sale and transfer of the receivables to the Purchaser, the receivables are legally isolated from the Company and its subsidiaries, and the Company sells, conveys, transfers and assigns to the Purchaser all its rights, title and interest in the receivables. Receivables sold are derecognized from the statement of financial position. The Company continues to service, administer and collect the receivables on behalf of the Purchaser, and recognizes a servicing liability in accordance with Topic 860. As of September 30, 2022, the Company reported servicing liabilities of $17.9 million in other current liabilities and on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. Prepaid and other current assets Prepaid and other current assets consist of the following as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in millions): September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Contract asset, current $ 15.1 $ 17.2 Prepaid expenses 23.0 19.3 Other current assets (1.1) 1.0 Total prepaid and other current assets $ 37.0 $ 37.5

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Warrant liabilities	Warrant liabilities In September 2020, in connection with the IPO, SVAC issued Public Warrants to purchase shares of the SVAC Class A common stock at $11.50 per share. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO, SVAC issued Private Placement Warrants to purchase shares of its Class A common stock at $11.50 per share to the Sponsor and to SVAC’s underwriters. In July 2021, in connection with the Business Combination transaction described in Note 3, additional Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were issued to SVAC common shareholders, including the Forward Purchasers. In December 2021, the Company announced that it would redeem all of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants that remained outstanding as of 5:00 p.m., New York time, on January 19, 2022 (the “Redemption Time”). Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Agreement, prior to the Redemption Time, the warrant holders were permitted to exercise their warrants either (a) on a cash basis by paying the exercise price of $11.50 per warrant in cash or (b) on a “cashless basis,” in which case the holder would receive 0.265 shares of Class A common stock per warrant. As a result of the redemption notice for the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants, the valuation method for the Private Placement Warrants was changed from the Monte Carlo Simulation to utilizing a fair value based on the publicly traded closing price of the Public Warrants given that, in connection with the terms of the redemption notice, the exercise and settlement provision of the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants were substantially the same. Such fair value determination represents a Level 2 fair value input. On January 26, 2022, the Company completed the redemption of all of its outstanding warrants that were issued under the Warrant Agreement and that remained outstanding at the Redemption Time, at a redemption price of $0.10 per warrant. Between January 1, 2022, and the Redemption Time, warrant holders elected to exercise 126,641 warrants on a cash basis for $1.5 million, and 17,859,466 warrants on a “cashless basis,” resulting in the issuance by the Company of 4,859,162 shares of Class A common stock. On January 26, 2022, the Company redeemed 1,370,760 warrants for $0.1 million, which was recorded as an expense in the change of fair value of warrant liabilities in other income (expenses), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The warrant shares were issued in transactions not requiring registration under the Securities Act in reliance on the exemption contained in Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act. Upon completion of the redemption, the Public Warrants ceased trading on the Nasdaq and were deregistered, to the extent unsold. For the Public Warrants and Private Placement Warrants exercised through the Redemption Time, the warrants were marked to market through the settlement date utilizing the publicly traded closing stock price of the Public Warrants on the settlement date, with changes in the fair value through the settlement date recorded as change of fair value of warrant liabilities in other income (expenses), net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Upon settlement, the remaining warrant liabilities were derecognized and the liabilities and cash received from warrant holders was recorded as consideration for the common shares issued (an increase of $54.2 million was recorded to additional paid in capital). There were no Level 3 warrant liabilities outstanding during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The following table presents information about the Company’s movement in its Level 1 and Level 2 warrant liabilities measured at fair value during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (in millions): (in millions) Public Warrants (Level 1) Private Placement Warrants (Level 2) Total Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 36.1 $ 28.6 $ 64.7 Warrants exercised for Class A common stock (28.9) (24.0) (52.9) Change in fair value of the warrant liabilities (7.2) (4.6) (11.8) Balance at September 30, 2022 $ — $ — $ —

The related income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was inconsequential. Restricted Stock Units RSU transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were as follows: Shares Subject to RSUs Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Outstanding from January 1, 2022 3,335,811 $ — — $ — $ 9.34 Granted 1,865,191 $ — $ 11.89 Vested (1,021,264) $ — $ 9.37 Expired/forfeited (145,753) $ — $ 9.79 Outstanding at September 30, 2022 4,033,985 $ — 1.3 $ 16,458,659 $ 10.48 Exercisable, September 30, 2022 — $ — — $ — $ — Unvested and expected to vest, September 30, 2022 4,033,985 $ — 1.3 $ 16,458,659 $ 10.48 As of September 30, 2022 , the total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, net of actual forfeitures, related to unvested RSUs was approximately $35.5 million, before income taxes, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.0 years. The total fair value of RSUs vested was $12.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Total RSU compensation expen se totaled $5.0 million and $13.3 million, net of actual forfeitures, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, of which approximately $4.7 million and $12.4 million, respect ively, is recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses an d $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively, is recorded in cost of revenues, excluding depreciation and amortization, in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The related income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was inconsequential. Performance Stock Units The Company has granted PSUs under the Company’s 2021 Plan. The Company has the intent and ability to settle the PSU awards with shares. The PSU will vest based on both the passage of time and achievement of certain market and performance conditions that are measured during a three-year period beginning on January 1, 2022, subject to continued employment on the applicable vesting dates. The actual number of PSUs earned with respect to an award is based upon the target number of PSUs, multiplied by a “payout percentage” ranging from 0% to 200% of target level and determined by the level of performance against pre-established performance or market components for the applicable performance period. The PSUs are subject to two types of performance conditions: relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) based on achievement of certain market conditions, and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adj. EBITDA”), each of which is weighted one-half of the PSU, as shown in more detail below. Payout Percentage Metric Weight Performance Period Vesting Period Index Below Threshold Threshold Target Maximum TSR 50% 3-year rolling Annual (33.33% per year) Russell 1000 0% 50% (25th percentile) 100% (50th percentile) 200% (75th percentile) Adj. EBITDA 50% 3-year rolling Annual (33.33% per year) N/A 0% 50% 100% 200% The award of PSUs will vest in three equal installments on the 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd anniversary of the grant date. The PSUs will be earned based on the Company’s achievement of the applicable performance goals as follows: • Year One of the performance period: Award will vest based on performance during the first year of the performance period; • Year Two: Award will vest based on cumulative performance during the first two years of the performance period; • Year Three: Award will vest based on cumulative performance during the three years of the performance period. The payout percentage will be linearly interpolated if achievement falls between the threshold and target or target and maximum levels of performance. With respect to the TSR measured component, the PSUs were valued using a Monte-Carlo simulation. The key assumptions used to determine the fair value of the TSR measured component of the PSUs at March 23, 2022 (grant date) using the Monte Carlo simulation model were as follows: Inputs As of March 23, 2022 Risk-free interest rate 2.3 % Volatility for Least-Square Monte Carlo Model 39.0 % Expected Term in Years 2.8 Dividend Yield — % Fair Value of Class A Common Stock $ 11.66 With respect to the Adj. EBITDA measured component, the PSUs for the first year were valued using the fair value of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of the grant, which was $11.66 multiplied by the number of shares of Class A common stock expected to be earned based on the Company’s estimate of future Adj. EBITDA, to be realized in Year One. The Adj. EBITDA measured PSUs for Year Two and Year Three, are not deemed granted for accounting purposes because the adjusted EBITDA targets for 2023 and 2024 are not yet determinable as they have not been approved by the board of directors. The following table summarizes PSU activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2022: Number of Units Weighted-average grant date fair value Non-vested as of January 1, 2022 — $ — Granted (1) 349,766 $ 15.78 Vested — $ — Forfeited — $ — Unvested as of September 30, 2022 349,766 $ 15.78 (1) Year Two and Year Three Adj. EBITDA measured PSUs are excluded from the total amount of granted PSUs, since such units are not deemed granted for accounting purposes as of September 30, 2022. We exclude d 174,883 of Year Two and Year Three Adj. EBITDA measured PSUs. As of September 30, 2022, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense, related to unvested PSUs was approximately $5.5 million, before income taxes, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted period of approximately 1.2 years. No PSUs vested during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The Company estimates that all PSU awards o utstanding at September 30, 2022 will vest. Total PSU compensation exp ense was $0.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The related income tax benefit for the th ree and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was inconsequential. Employee Stock Purchase Plan Effective as of June 8, 2022, the Company adopted the 2022 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) under which shares of the Company’s common stock are available for purchase by eligible participants. The total number of shares of Class A common stock authorized for issuance under the ESPP is 1,785,664. The ESPP allows participants to purchase shares of Class A common stock at 85% of its fair market value at the lower of (i) the date of commencement of the offering period or (ii) the last day of the exercise period, as defined in the plan documents. The fair value of purchases under the Company’s ESPP is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing valuation model. The determination of fair value of stock-based awards using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company’s stock price as well as assumptions pertaining to several variables, including expected stock price volatility, the expected term of the award and the risk-free rate of interest. In the option-pricing model for the Company’s employee stock purchase plans, expected stock price volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The expected term of the award is based on the six-month requisite period. The Company has not paid dividends in the past, and has not announced any intention to pay dividends in the foreseeable future, and therefore uses an expected dividend yield of zero. The following table provides details pertaining to the ESPP for the periods indicated: For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022 Cash proceeds (in millions) $ 0.9 Common shares issued 173,665 Fair value of ESPP at grant date $ 5.73 Stock price at grant date $ 5.83 As of September 30, 2022, the total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to the ESPP was approximately $0.2 million, before income taxes, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted period of approximately 0.5 years. Non-cash stock-based compensation expense under the ESPP was de minimis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Th e related income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was inconsequential.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income taxes	Income taxesThe income tax (benefit) and expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $(0.5) million and $1.6 million, respectively. The income tax expense on the pre-tax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily attributable to an incremental valuation allowance recorded due to continued losses in the U.S. and other loss jurisdictions, tax expense recorded in foreign jurisdictions where income is generated, certain permanent book to tax differences, as well as an effective settlement with the tax authorities. The effective tax rate was different than the amount expected at the statutory federal income tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of additional state income tax benefits, an increase in the valuation allowance recorded on certain deferred tax assets that management believes are not more likely than not to be fully realized in future periods, certain nondeductible remuneration to covered employees under Internal Revenue Code section 162(m), nondeductible equity-based compensation, the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities, and miscellaneous transfer pricing true-ups for final statutory filings and/or tax returns in certain foreign jurisdictions. The income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes the second quarter recognition of tax expense related to an effective settlement of the Company’s tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for the 2017 tax year.The income tax (benefit) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was $(11.1) million and $(36.9) million, respectively. The income tax benefit on the pre-tax loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 was different than the amount expected at the statutory federal income tax rate primarily as a result of additional state income tax benefits, which were partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance recorded on certain deferred tax assets in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions that management believes are not more likely than-not to be fully realized in future periods, nondeductible equity compensation, and the change in fair value of the warrant liabilities.

Results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire fiscal year.
Risks and uncertainties	Risks and uncertainties Preparing financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Examples include, but are not limited to, asset and goodwill impairments, allowance for doubtful accounts, future asset retirement obligations and the potential outcome of future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Actual results and outcomes may differ from these estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment. Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The full impact that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic will have on our future unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements remains uncertain and ultimately will depend on many factors, including the duration and potential cyclicity of the health crisis, further public policy actions to be taken in response, as well as the continued impact of the pandemic on the global economy and our customers and vendors. We will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of these potential impacts to our business and unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Significant updates to our accounting policies as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2016-12, Leases , as well as the initial implementation guidance and subsequent amendments to ASU 2017-13, ASU 2018-01, ASU 2018-10, ASU 2018-11, ASU 2018-20 and ASU 2020-05 (collectively referred to as “Topic 842”) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 are discussed below. In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform , which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022, except for hedging relationships existing as of December 31, 2022 that an entity has elected certain optional expedients for and that are retained through the end of the hedging relationship. The amendments are effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020, through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326)-Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which requires companies to measure and recognize lifetime expected credit losses for certain financial instruments, including trade accounts receivable. Expected credit losses are estimated using relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. This amendment is effective commencing in 2023 with early adoption permitted, and the Company expects to adopt the new standard on the effective date or the date it no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, whichever is earlier. Entities are permitted to use a modified retrospective approach. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. We adopted the amendments in Topic 740 as of January 1, 2022, without a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2020, the 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)—Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity . The guidance simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current US GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2022 without a material impact on its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. In February 2016, FASB issued Topic 842, which replaced the guidance in former ASC Topic 840, Leases . The new lease guidance increases transparency and comparability among organizations by requiring the recognition of the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s future obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) an operating lease ROU asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee's right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The accounting for the Company’s finance leases remains substantially unchanged . Topic 842 allows entities to adopt using one of two methods: the modified retrospective transition method or the alternative transition method. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company adopted Topic 842, with an effective date of January 1, 2022, using the alternative transition method. Therefore, results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2022 are presented under Topic 842, while comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company recognized the cumulative
Leases	Leases The Company determines if an arrangement is or contains a lease at its inception. The Company enters into lease arrangements primarily for data center spaces, office spaces and equipment. The Company recognizes a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets for all leases with a term longer than 12 months, including renewals. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term. Lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are classified and recognized at the commencement date. Lease liabilities are measured based on the present value of fixed lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets consist of (i) initial measurement of the lease liability; (ii) lease payments made to the lessor at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received; and (iii) initial direct costs incurred by the Company. Lease payments may vary because of changes in facts or circumstances occurring after the commencement, including changes in inflation indices. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate (such as the Consumer Price Index or a market interest rate) are included in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities using the index or rate at the commencement date. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are excluded from the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Since most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its own incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) on a collateralized basis in determining the present value of lease payments. The Company utilizes a market-based approach to estimate the IBR. The approach requires significant judgment. Therefore, the Company utilizes different data sets to estimate IBRs via an analysis of (i) yields on our outstanding traded bank loans (ii) yields on comparable credit rating composite curves and (iii) yields on comparable market curves. The majority of the Company’s lease arrangements include options to extend the lease. If the Company is reasonably certain to exercise such options, the periods covered by the options are included in the lease term. The Company recognizes rental expenses for operating leases that contain predetermined fixed escalation clauses on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the lease. The depreciable lives of certain fixed assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. The Company has certain leases that have an initial term of 12 months or less and do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. For such leases, the Company elected not to recognize any ROU asset or lease liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The Company elected to account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets for which the Company has identified lease arrangements with non-lease components. Lease modifications In the normal course of business, the Company may modify leases, which could result in a change from the original lease classification (i.e. finance or operating leases). The Company remeasures the lease liability based on the lease term of the modified leases by discounting revised lease payments using a revised IBR at the effective date of the modification. The Company accounts for the remeasurement of lease liabilities and lease incentives from lessor by making corresponding adjustments to the relevant right-of-use asset.
Revenue	The Company disaggregates revenue from contracts with customers into recurring revenues and non-recurring revenues. Cyxtera derives the majority of its revenues from recurring revenue streams, consisting primarily of colocation service fees. These fees are generally billed monthly and recognized ratably over the term of the contract. The Company’s non-recurring revenues are primarily comprised of installation services related to a customer’s initial deployment and professional services the Company performs. These services are considered to be non-recurring because they are billed typically once, upon completion of the installation or the professional services work performed. The majority of these non-recurring revenues are typically billed on the first invoice distributed to the customer in connection with their initial installation. However, revenues from installation services are deferred and recognized ratably over the period of the contract term in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC Topic 606”) as discussed in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021, included within the Annual Report on Form 10-K.
