Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “our Company”, or “the Company” refer to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Digital Realty Trust, L.P. In statements regarding qualification as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such terms refer solely to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the “Parent” refer to Digital Realty Trust, Inc., and all references to “our Operating Partnership,” “the Operating Partnership” or “the OP” refer to Digital Realty Trust, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Parent is a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the sole general partner of the OP. As of June 30, 2026, the Parent owned an approximate 98.2% common general partnership interest in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. The remaining approximate 1.8% of the common limited partnership interests of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. are owned by non-affiliated third parties and certain directors and officers of the Parent. As of June 30, 2026, the Parent owned all of the preferred limited partnership interests of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. As the sole general partner of Digital Realty Trust, L.P., the Parent has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for the OP’s day-to-day management and control.

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

enhancing investors’ understanding of the Parent and the OP by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Parent and the OP; and
creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

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

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

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

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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. General

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

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

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

Accounting Principles and Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes (the “Financial Statements”) are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. All of the accounts of the Parent, the OP, and the subsidiaries of the OP are included in the accompanying Financial Statements. All material intercompany transactions with consolidated entities have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not always indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (“2025 Form 10-K”), as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, as filed with the SEC, and our other filings with the SEC.

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

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

Acquisitions

On June 30, 2026, the Company completed the acquisition of 64% blended partnership interests in the Digital Carver Dulles 9 JV, LLC and Digital Carver Brickyard JV, LLC joint ventures (collectively, the “joint ventures”) (the “June 2026 Acquisition”). Prior to the June 2026 Acquisition, the Company held the remaining 36% blended partnership interests in the joint ventures. The June 2026 Acquisition is being accounted for as an asset acquisition. After closing, each of the joint ventures became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, which caused the Company to include the net book value of its 36% blended partnership interests as part of the purchase consideration. No gain or loss was recognized on the previously held interests. Additionally, the Company recognized $201 million of promote income, within Fee income and other and $14 million of promote expense within Other operating expenses on the condensed consolidated income statements. Promote income relates to incentive fees based primarily on the investment’s total return over certain financial hurdles related to the third party investor, which were achieved at the closing of the June 2026 Acquisition. Promote expense relates to the Digital Realty 2025 Carried Interest Plan (the “Carried Interest Plan”), which may award up to 50% of the promotes paid by third party investors to employees as cash awards. Prior to the close of the June 2026 Acquisition, no expense was recognized as it was not considered probable due to the uncertainty of achievement of the performance hurdles. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has unrecognized compensation cost of $35 million with a weighted-average service period of two years. Promote expense is expected to be paid on the applicable vesting dates.

(Unaudited)

In accordance with ASC 805-50, the transaction was treated as a step-acquisition of assets using a cost-accumulation model. The aggregate costs of the acquisition of approximately $5.2 billion to be allocated was established by combining the historical carrying value of the Company's blended 36% interest ($494 million), the cash and equity paid for the remaining blended 64% interest ($3.5 billion), the company-earned promote ($201 million), direct capitalized transaction costs ($30 million) and the fair value of the assumed debt ($726 million) and other liabilities ($222 million).

The following table summarizes how the aggregated costs were allocated to the individual tangible and intangible real estate assets based on their relative fair values on the acquisition date (in thousands):

(1)Acquired below-market leases are classified within Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The fixed and intangible assets will be depreciated over their respective useful lives as follows:

Land, Buildings, and Improvements: Buildings are depreciated on a straight-line basis over an estimated remaining useful life of 5-39 years. Land is not depreciated.
Customer Relationship Value: Amortized to amortization expense on a straight-line basis over an estimated useful life of 10-15 years.
In-Place Lease Value: Amortized to amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining non-cancelable lease terms (weighted-average of 13 years plus any lease extension option periods).
Below-Market Leases: Amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable lease terms (weighted-average of 13 years plus any lease extension option periods).

During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we completed several additional acquisitions, including two land parcels totaling approximately 355 acres in the Atlanta metro area for $21 million, two data centers and associated land in Cyberjaya, Malaysia for $137 million, and a 27-acre site in Marseille, France for $55 million. Prior to acquiring the Marseille site, we leased the property; accordingly, upon acquisition we derecognized finance lease right-of-use assets and finance lease liabilities of $52 million and $54 million, respectively. In April 2026, our Operating Partnership also acquired approximately 1,440 acres of development land at Astra Enterprise Park, located near Kansas City, (the “April 2026 Acquisition”) for total consideration of $482 million, comprised of $377.6 million in cash and 517,475 common units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership with a fair value of $104.0 million.

Dispositions

During the quarter, Digital Realty sold a non-core asset in the Atlanta metro area, which was held for sale as of March 31, 2026, for gross proceeds of $25 million. The non-core asset had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $23 million. In May, we contributed two development projects to Digital Realty DC Partners NA Fund (the “Fund”), with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $439 million, for gross proceeds of $447 million and recognized a gain on disposition of approximately $8 million.

These assets were not representative of a significant component of our portfolio, nor will the dispositions or contributions represent a significant shift in our strategy.

3. Leases

Lessor Accounting

We generate most of our revenue by leasing operating properties to customers under operating lease agreements. We recognize the total minimum lease payments provided for under the leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term if we determine that it is probable that substantially all of the lease payments will be collected over the lease term. Otherwise, rental revenue is recognized based on the amount contractually due. Generally, under the terms of our leases, 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. As of June 30, 2026, our two largest customers accounted for approximately 11% and 10%, respectively, of our total revenue. No other individual customer makes up more than 10% of our total revenue.

Lessee Accounting

We lease space at certain of our data centers from third parties and certain equipment under noncancelable lease agreements. Leases for our data centers expire at various dates through 2069. As of June 30, 2026, certain of our data centers, primarily in Europe and Singapore, are subject to ground leases. As of June 30, 2026, the termination dates of these ground leases generally range from 2038 to 2073. In addition, our corporate headquarters along with several regional office locations are subject to leases with termination dates ranging from 2026 to 2037.

The leases generally require us to make fixed rental payments that increase at defined intervals during the term of the lease, plus pay our share of common area, real estate and utility expenses as incurred. The leases neither contain residual value guarantees nor impose material restrictions or covenants on us. Further, the leases have been classified and accounted for as either operating or finance leases. Rent expense related to operating leases included in rental property operating and maintenance expense in the condensed consolidated income statements amounted to approximately $40.4 million and $40.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and approximately $81.6 million and $78.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

(3)Blackstone (20%), Medallion (60%), and Mivne (50%).
(4)Digital Core REIT (ranging from 10% to 35%).

Generally, we serve as the managing member responsible for operations in the ordinary course of business of the unconsolidated entities. We perform the day-to-day accounting and property management functions for the unconsolidated entities and, as such, will earn management fees. In certain unconsolidated entities, we may also earn incentive fees upon liquidation of individual unconsolidated entities’ assets based primarily on the total return of the investments over certain financial hurdles. The incentive fee and financial hurdle vary by each entity. However, certain approval rights are granted through the terms of the operating agreements and require unanimous consent of both members with respect to any major decisions. Generally, major decisions are defined to include the annual plan which sets out unconsolidated entity and property level budgets, including lease revenues, operating expenses, and capital expenditures. As such, we concluded we do not own a controlling interest and account for our interest in the unconsolidated entities under the equity method of accounting.

Digital Realty DC Partners NA Fund – During the first half of 2025, the Company launched the Fund, successfully raising more than $3 billion of equity commitments to date. As of March 31, 2026, the Fund owned an 80% interest in each individual asset, while the Company retained the remaining 20% ownership and less than a 2% direct interest in the Fund. In May 2026, we contributed two development assets to the Fund, while retaining ownership interests of 58.1% and 62.5% in the respective assets. The Company will continue to serve as general partner, maintaining operational and management responsibilities for the assets. However, certain governance rights are granted to the limited partners. As such, we continue to conclude we do not own a controlling interest and account for our interest in the assets under the equity method of accounting.

DCREIT – Digital Core REIT is a standalone real estate investment trust formed under Singapore law, which is publicly traded on the Singapore Exchange under the ticker symbol “DCRU”. DCREIT owns 11 operating data center properties. The Company has ownership interest in the units of DCREIT, as well as ownership interests in the operating properties of DCREIT.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company held 32% of the outstanding DCREIT units and separately owned a 10% direct retained interest in the underlying North American operating properties and a 35% direct retained interest in a Frankfurt asset.

(Unaudited)

The Company’s 32% interest in DCREIT consisted of 421 million units and 420 million units as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Based on the closing price per unit of $0.51 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair value of the units the Company owned in DCREIT was approximately $215 million and $214 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Pursuant to contractual agreements with DCREIT 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 DCREIT or in cash. The Company earned fees pursuant to these contractual agreements of approximately $2.7 million and $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $5.4 million and $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which are recorded as Fee income and other on the condensed consolidated income statements.

Ascenty – In addition to the Company’s 49% ownership interest in Ascenty, there is also an approximate 2% interest held by one of the Company’s noncontrolling interest holders. This 2% interest had a carrying value of approximately $23 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Ascenty is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to this VIE is limited to our equity investment in the entity.

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

6. Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Changes in the value of goodwill at June 30, 2026 as compared to December 31, 2025 were driven by changes in exchange rates associated with goodwill balances denominated in foreign currencies.

(1)In March 2026, we voluntarily paid down Teraco debt of $53 million. The paydown resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment and modifications of approximately $4.1 million.
(2)As part of the June 2026 Acquisition, we assumed a construction loan in the amount of $726 million. The current maturity date for the loan is December 24, 2027, and is subject to two 12-month extension options exercisable by us.

The weighted-average interest rates shown represent interest rates at the end of the periods for the debt outstanding and include the impact of designated interest rate swaps, which effectively fix the interest rates on certain variable rate debt, along with 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.

(2)The Global Revolving Credit Facilities are subject to two six-month extension options exercisable by us; provided that the Operating Partnership must pay a 0.0625% extension fee based on each lender’s revolving commitments then outstanding (whether funded or unfunded).
(3)The 375.0 million Euro Term Loan Facility is subject to a maturity extension option of one year, provided that the Operating Partnership must pay a 0.125% extension fee based on the then outstanding principal amount of such facility commitments then outstanding. In July 2026, we exercised the one-year maturity extension option; the current maturity date is August 11, 2027.

Global Revolving Credit Facilities

We have a Global Revolving Credit Facility under which we may draw up to $4.2 billion equivalent on a revolving basis (subject to currency fluctuations). The Global Revolving Credit Facility can be drawn in Australian dollars, British pound sterling, Canadian dollars, Euros, Hong Kong dollars, Indonesian rupiah, Japanese yen, Korean won, Singapore dollars, Swiss francs and U.S. dollars (with the ability to add other currencies in the future). As of June 30, 2026, approximately $82.0 million of letters of credit were issued.

In addition to the Global Revolving Credit Facility, we have a revolving credit facility that provides for borrowings in Japanese yen of up to ¥42.5 billion (approximately $262 million based on the exchange rate on June 30, 2026).

The Global Revolving Credit Facility and the Yen Revolving Credit Facility both contain various restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments, or merge with another company. In addition, we are required to maintain financial coverage ratios, including with respect to unencumbered assets. After the occurrence of and during the continuance of any event of default, these credit facilities restrict the Parent’s ability to make distributions to stockholders or redeem or otherwise repurchase shares of its capital stock, except in limited circumstances (such as those necessary to enable Digital Realty Trust, Inc. to maintain its qualification as a REIT and to minimize the payment of income or excise tax). As of June 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all of such covenants for both of these revolving credit facilities.

(1)As part of the acquisition of Teraco in 2022, certain of Teraco's minority indirect shareholders (“Rollover Shareholders”) have the right to put their shares in an upstream parent company of Teraco (“Remaining Interest”) to the Company in exchange for cash or the equivalent value of shares of the Company common stock, or a combination thereof. Under U.S. GAAP, diluted earnings per share must be reflected in a manner that assumes such put right was exercised at the beginning of the respective periods and settled entirely in shares. The amounts shown represent the redemption value of the Remaining Interest of Teraco divided by Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s average share price for the respective periods. The put right is exercisable by the Rollover Shareholders for a two-year period commencing on February 1, 2026.

The table below shows the securities that would be antidilutive or not dilutive to the calculation of earnings per share and unit. Common units of the Operating Partnership not owned by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. were excluded only from the calculation of earnings per share as they are not applicable to the calculation of earnings per unit. All other securities shown below were excluded from the calculation of both earnings per share and earnings per unit (in thousands).

10. Equity and Capital

Equity Distribution Agreement

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. were parties to an ATM Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement dated December 23, 2024 (the “2024 Sales Agreement”). Pursuant to the 2024 Sales Agreement, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. could issue and sell common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $3.0 billion through various named agents from time to time. From April 1, 2026 through May 3, 2026, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. generated net proceeds of approximately $435.2 million from the issuance of approximately 2.4 million common shares under the 2024 Sales Agreement at an average price of $181.21 per share after payment of approximately $2.2 million of commissions to the agents.

On May 4, 2026, our Parent and our Operating Partnership entered into a new ATM Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement (the “2026 Sales Agreement”), pursuant to which, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. can issue and sell common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $7.5 billion through various named agents from time to time. The 2024 Sales Agreement was terminated in connection with entry into the 2026 Sales Agreement, and at the time of such termination, $569.9 million remained unsold under the 2024 Sales Agreement. From May 4, 2026 through June 30, 2026, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. generated net proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion from the issuance of approximately 6.2 million common shares under the 2026 Sales Agreement at an average price of $191.63 per share after payment of approximately $6.2 million of commissions to the agents. As of June 30, 2026, $6.3 billion remains available for future sales under the 2026 Sales Agreement.

The sales of common stock made under the 2026 Sales Agreement will be made in “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act. Our Parent has used and intends to use the net proceeds from the program to temporarily repay borrowings under our Operating Partnership’s Global Revolving Credit Facilities, to acquire additional properties or businesses, to fund development opportunities and for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including potentially for the repayment of other debt or the repurchase, redemption or retirement of outstanding debt securities.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest (“Redeemable NCI”) — As part of the Teraco Acquisition, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a put/call agreement with the owners of the interest in Teraco that was not acquired by the Company (the “Put/Call Agreement”). The interest retained by these owners is hereafter referred to as the “Remaining Teraco Interest” and the owners of such interest are hereafter referred to as the “Rollover Shareholders”. Pursuant to the Put/Call Agreement, the Rollover Shareholders have the right to sell all or a portion of the Remaining Teraco Interest to the Company for a two-year period beginning on February 1, 2026, and the Company has the right to purchase all or a portion of the Remaining Teraco Interest from the Rollover Shareholders for a one-year period beginning on February 1, 2028. Per the terms of the agreement, the purchase price of the Remaining Teraco Interest for the put right and the call right can be settled by the Company with cash, shares in the Company, or a combination of cash and shares. In the event the Company elects to settle a put or call in whole or in part with shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock, such shares will be issued in a private placement transaction with customary accompanying registration rights.

(Unaudited)

On May 12, 2026 (“exercise date”), two Rollover Shareholders delivered their irrevocable notice to exercise their put option with respect to approximately 16% of the total outstanding equity of Teraco. As a result of this exercise, the Company’s ownership interest in Teraco will increase, once settled, from 61% to 77%. Per the terms of the agreement, this obligation will be settled subsequent to the reporting period via the issuance of 3,425,031 shares of the Company’s common stock. The final number of shares was determined based on the volume-weighted average price of the Company's stock over the 20 trading days prior to the exercise date. The put option exercise is expected to be settled in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Upon issuance of the common stock in the second half of 2026, redeemable noncontrolling interest will be extinguished and recorded as an increase to Common stock and Additional paid-in capital within permanent equity.

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 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 ($12.6 million and $12.2 million net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively). 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 Accumulated dividends in excess of earnings. These adjustments are not reflected on the Company’s condensed 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 the Company, 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 six months ended June 30, 2026, we made an adjustment of approximately $56.4 million to Redeemable NCI as the contractual redemption value of the Redeemable NCI was greater than its carrying value. The change in the redemption value was adjusted through Additional Paid in Capital.

Limited partners have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of their common units for cash based on the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock at the time of redemption. Alternatively, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. may elect to acquire those common units in exchange for shares of its common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of stock rights, specified extraordinary distributions and similar events. The common units and incentive units of the Operating Partnership are classified within equity, except for certain common units issued to certain former DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. unitholders in the Company’s acquisition of DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc., which are subject to certain restrictions and, accordingly, are not presented as permanent equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The redemption value of the noncontrolling Operating Partnership common units and the vested incentive units was approximately $1,026.1 million and $952.5 million based on the closing market price of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock on June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

For U.S. federal income tax purposes, distributions out of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s current or accumulated earnings and profits are generally classified as dividends whereas distributions in excess of its current and accumulated earnings and profits, to the extent of a stockholder’s tax basis in Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s stock, are generally classified as a return of capital. Such distributions in excess of a stockholder’s tax basis in Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s stock are generally characterized as capital gain. Cash provided by operating activities has generally been sufficient to fund all distributions; however, in the future we may also need to utilize borrowings under the Global Revolving Credit Facility to fund all or a portion of distributions.

12. Incentive Plans

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.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Talent and Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors granted an aggregate of 42,265 service-based restricted stock units covering shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock and long-term incentive units of the Operating Partnership to certain employees, including executive officers. These awards are subject to vesting provisions and have a weighted-average grant date fair value of $186.93 per share and a weighted-average requisite service period of 3 years. The awards are subject to either (i) a service-vesting condition (the “service awards”) or (ii) both service- and performance-vesting conditions (the “performance awards”). The service awards generally vest over periods between two and four years. The performance awards generally vest based on continued service and either a financial performance condition (“Financial-Based Performance Awards”) or a market performance condition (“Market-Based Performance Awards”).

The valuation of service awards and Financial-Based Performance Awards is based solely on the fair value of our stock price on the date of grant. We use growth in core funds from operations per share as the performance measurement in the Financial-Based Performance Awards that were granted in the six months ended June 30, 2026. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the grant date fair value of these awards was $14.5 million.

 

We use a Monte Carlo simulation option-pricing model to determine the fair value of our Market-Based Performance Awards. We used total shareholder return as the market measurement for these awards that were granted in the six months ended June 30, 2026. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the grant date fair value of these awards was $14.5 million.

There were no significant changes in the assumptions used to determine the fair value of service awards and performance awards that were granted in 2026 compared to the prior year.

13. Derivative Instruments

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

Net Investment Hedges

In September 2022 and November 2024, 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 June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had cross-currency interest rate swaps outstanding with notional amounts of $2.2 billion and maturity dates ranging through 2029.

The effect of these net investment hedges on accumulated other comprehensive loss and the condensed consolidated income statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was as follows (in thousands):

14. Fair Value

There have been no significant changes in our policy for fair value measurements from what was disclosed in our 2025 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 the Euro Term Loan Facility approximates the estimated fair value, because these liabilities have variable interest rates and our credit ratings have remained stable. Differences between the carrying value and the 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 June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 as compared to those in effect when the debt was issued or assumed. As described in Note 13. "Derivative Instruments", outstanding derivative contracts are recorded at fair value.

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.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Our properties require periodic investments of capital for tenant-related capital expenditures and for general capital improvements and from time to time in the normal course of our business, we enter into various construction contracts with third parties that may obligate us to make payments. At June 30, 2026, we had open commitments, including amounts reimbursable by customers of approximately $320.1 million, related to construction contracts of approximately $4.1 billion.

Legal Proceedings – Although the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, as of June 30, 2026, the Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings nor, to its knowledge, is any legal proceeding threatened against it that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Insurance – In September 2024, an incident at one of our Singapore data centers resulted in damages to the facility. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we received final insurance settlement proceeds of approximately $120.4 million, which includes $112.8 million recognized in Other income, net in the condensed consolidated income statement. The remaining $7.6 million was applied against the insurance receivable balance included in Other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025.

17. Segment and Geographic Information

A majority of the Company’s largest customers are global entities that transact with the Company across multiple geographies worldwide. In order to better address the needs of these global customers, the Company manages critical decisions around development, operations, and leasing globally based on customer demand considerations. In this regard, the Company manages customer relationships globally in order to achieve consistent sales and delivery experience of our products for our customers throughout the global portfolio. The Company has reiterated its commitment to and implemented strategies to align itself as one global team to help power customers’ digital ambitions.

In order to best accommodate the needs of global customers (and customers that might one day become global), the Company manages its operations as a single global business – with one operating segment and therefore one reporting segment.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer, who uses net income as a primary measure of operating results on a consolidated basis in making decisions. Net income is computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Significant expense categories, including Rental property operating and maintenance, Property taxes and insurance, General and administrative and Interest expense, are regularly provided to the Company’s CODM as components of net income, which are reflected on the condensed consolidated income statements.

The financial information disclosed herein represents all of the financial information related to our one reportable segment, and the segmental presentation is consistent with the information provided to our CODM. These metrics are collectively used to evaluate the performance of the Company’s investments in real estate assets, its operating results and to allocate resources.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, each as filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. In particular, statements pertaining to our capital resources, expected use of borrowings under our credit facilities, expected use of proceeds from our ATM equity program, litigation matters or legal proceedings, portfolio performance, leverage policy, acquisition and capital expenditure plans, capital recycling program, returns on invested capital, supply and demand for data center capacity, capitalization rates, rents to be received in future periods and expected rental rates on new or renewed data center capacity contain forward-looking statements. Likewise, all of our statements regarding anticipated market conditions, and results of operations are forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro forma,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties, and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and that we may not be able to realize. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described or that they will happen at all. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: reduced demand for data centers or decreases in information technology spending; decreased rental rates, increased operating costs or increased vacancy rates; increased competition or available supply of data center capacity; the suitability of our data centers and data center infrastructure, delays or disruptions in connectivity or availability of power, or failures or breaches of our physical and information security infrastructure or services; breaches of our obligations or restrictions under our contracts with our customers; our inability to successfully develop and lease new properties and development capacity, and delays or unexpected costs in development of properties; the impact of current global and local economic, credit and market conditions; increased tariffs, global supply chain or procurement disruptions, or increased supply chain costs; the impact from periods of heightened inflation on our costs, such as operating and general and administrative expenses, interest expense and real estate acquisition and construction costs; the impact on our customers’ and our suppliers’ operations during an epidemic, pandemic, or other global events; our dependence upon significant customers, bankruptcy or insolvency of a major customer or a significant number of smaller customers, or defaults on or non-renewal of leases by customers; changes in political conditions, geopolitical turmoil, political instability, civil disturbances, restrictive governmental actions or nationalization in the countries in which we operate; our inability to retain data center capacity that we lease or sublease from third parties; information security, cyberattacks, security breaches and data privacy breaches; difficulties managing an international business and acquiring or operating properties in foreign jurisdictions and unfamiliar metropolitan areas; our failure to realize the intended benefits from, or disruptions to our plans and operations or unknown or contingent liabilities related to, our recent and future acquisitions; our failure to successfully integrate and operate acquired or developed properties or businesses; difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions; risks related to joint venture investments, including as a result of our lack of control of such investments; risks associated with using debt to fund our business activities, including re-financing and interest rate risks, our failure to repay debt when due, adverse changes in our credit ratings or our breach of covenants or other terms contained in our loan facilities and agreements; our failure to obtain necessary debt and equity financing, and our dependence on external sources of capital; financial market fluctuations and changes in foreign currency exchange rates; adverse economic or real estate developments in our industry or the industry sectors that we sell to, including risks relating to decreasing real estate valuations and impairment charges and goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges; our inability to manage our growth effectively; losses in excess of our insurance coverage; our inability to attract and retain talent; environmental liabilities, risks related to natural disasters and our inability to achieve our sustainability goals; the expected operating performance of anticipated near-term acquisitions and descriptions relating to these expectations; our

inability to comply with rules and regulations applicable to our Company; Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s failure to maintain its status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes; Digital Realty Trust, L.P.’s failure to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes; restrictions on our ability to engage in certain business activities; changes in local, state, federal and international laws and regulations, including related to taxation, real estate and zoning laws, and increases in real property tax rates; the impact of any financial, accounting, legal or regulatory issues or litigation that may affect us; and those additional risks and factors discussed in reports filed with the SEC by us from time to time, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other sections of this report, including under Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors.

While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes.

The risks included here are not exhaustive, and additional factors could adversely affect our business and financial performance, including factors and risks included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and in other sections of this report, including under Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to identify all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

Occupancy percentages included in the following discussion, for some of our properties, are calculated based on factors including available power, required support capacity and common area.

As used in this report: “Ascenty entity” refers to the entity which owns and operates Ascenty, formed with Brookfield Infrastructure.

Business Overview and Strategy

Digital Realty Trust, Inc., through its controlling interest in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. and its subsidiaries, delivers comprehensive space, power, and interconnection solutions that enable its customers and partners to connect with each other and service their own customers on a global technology and real estate platform. We are a leading global provider of data center, colocation and interconnection solutions for customers across a variety of industry verticals. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. operates as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and our Operating Partnership is the entity through which we conduct our business and own our assets.

Our primary business objectives are to maximize:

(i)sustainable long-term growth in earnings and funds from operations per share and unit;
(ii)cash flow and returns to our stockholders and Digital Realty Trust, L.P.’s unitholders through the payment of distributions; and
(iii)return on invested capital.

We expect to accomplish our objectives by achieving superior risk-adjusted returns, prudently allocating capital, diversifying our product offerings, accelerating our global reach and scale, and driving revenue growth and operating efficiencies. A significant component of our current and future internal growth is anticipated through the development of our existing space held for development, acquisition of land for future development, and acquisition of new properties.

45

Table of Contents

We target high-quality, strategically located properties containing the physical and connectivity infrastructure that supports the applications and operations of data center and technology industry customers and properties that may be developed for such use. Most of our data center properties contain fully redundant electrical supply systems, multiple power feeds, above-standard cooling systems, raised floor areas, extensive in-building communications cabling and high-level security systems. Fundamentally, we bring together foundational real estate and innovative technology expertise around the world to deliver a comprehensive, dedicated product suite to meet customers’ data and connectivity needs. We represent an important part of the digital economy that we believe will benefit from powerful, long-term growth drivers.

We have developed detailed, standardized procedures for evaluating new real estate investments to ensure that they meet our financial, technical and other criteria. We expect to continue to acquire additional assets as part of our growth strategy. We intend to aggressively manage and lease our assets to increase their cash flow. We may continue to build out our development portfolio when justified by anticipated demand and returns.

We may acquire properties subject to existing mortgage financing and other indebtedness or we may incur new indebtedness in connection with acquiring or refinancing these properties. Debt service on such indebtedness will have a priority over any cash dividends with respect to Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock and preferred stock. We are committed to maintaining a conservative capital structure. Our goal is to average through business cycles the following financial ratios: 1) a debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio around 5.5x, 2) a fixed charge coverage of greater than three times, and 3) floating rate debt at less than 20% of total outstanding debt. In addition, we strive to maintain a well-laddered debt maturity schedule, and we seek to maximize the menu of our available sources of capital, while minimizing the cost.

Changes in political conditions, geopolitical turmoil, political instability, civil disturbances, restrictive governmental actions or nationalization in the countries in which we operate, including escalations in political and trade tensions involving the U.S. and regulatory and legislative changes, could potentially result in adverse effects on our, and our customers’, operations.

Summary of 2026 Significant Activities

We completed the following significant activities during the six months ended June 30, 2026:

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we closed on acquisitions totaling approximately $280 million in the aggregate, primarily in Investments in properties, net in Sofia, Bulgaria, Milan, Italy, Portland and Atlanta.
In April 2026, our Operating Partnership acquired approximately 1,440 acres of development land at Astra Enterprise Park, located near Kansas City, for total consideration of $482 million, comprised of $377.6 million in cash and 517,475 common units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership with a fair value of $104.0 million.
During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we completed several additional acquisitions, including two land parcels totaling approximately 355 acres in the Atlanta metro area for $21 million, two data centers and associated land in Cyberjaya, Malaysia for $137 million, and a 27-acre site in Marseille, France for $55 million.
In June 2026, we completed the acquisition of 64% blended partnership interests in the Digital Carver Dulles 9 JV, LLC and Digital Carver Brickyard JV, LLC joint ventures. Prior to this transaction, the Company held the remaining 36% blended partnership interests. The newly developed assets are expected to be fully stabilized in the first half of 2027 and first half of 2028. Total consideration for our joint venture partners’ equity interests in the assets was approximately $3.5 billion, including $1.2 billion of cash and 12.3 million shares of Digital Realty common stock.

Table of Contents

In May 2026, we contributed two development projects to Digital Realty DC Partners NA Fund (the “Fund”), with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $439 million, for gross proceeds of $447 million and recognized a gain on disposition of approximately $8 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. generated net proceeds of approximately $2.5 billion under its ATM Equity OfferingSM program from the issuance of approximately 13.5 million common shares at an average price of $184.94 per share after payment of approximately $12.6 million of commissions to the agents. As of June 30, 2026, $6.3 billion remains available for future sales.

Revenue Base

Most of our revenue consists of rental income generated by the data centers in our portfolio. Our ability to generate and grow revenue depends on several factors, including our ability to maintain or improve occupancy rates. A summary of our data center portfolio and the DLR Share of White Space IT Load (excluding capacity under development or held for development) is shown below.

Leasing Activities

Due to the capital-intensive and long-term nature of the operations we support, our lease terms with customers are generally longer than standard commercial leases. As of June 30, 2026, our average remaining lease term was approximately four years.

Our ability to re-lease expiring space at rental rates equal to or in excess of current rental rates will impact our results of operations. The subsequent table summarizes our leasing activity (DLR’s share) in the six months ended June 30, 2026 (net rentable square feet (“NRSF”) in thousands):

We continue to see strong demand in most of our key metropolitan areas for data center capacity and, subject to the supply of available data center capacity in these metropolitan areas, we expect average aggregate rental rates on renewed data center leases for 2026 expirations to be positive as compared with the rates currently being paid for the same space on a GAAP basis and on a cash basis. Our past performance may not be indicative of future results, and we cannot assure you that leases will be renewed or that our data centers will be re-leased at all or at rental rates equal to or above the current average rental rates. Further, re-leased/renewed rental rates in a particular metropolitan area may not be consistent with rental rates across our portfolio as a whole and may fluctuate from one period to another due to a number of factors, including local economic conditions, local supply and demand for data center capacity, competition from other data center developers or operators, the condition of the property and whether the property, or capacity within the property, has been developed.

(1)Annualized rent is monthly contractual rent (defined as cash base rent before abatements) under existing leases as of the end of the period presented, multiplied by 12. Includes consolidated portfolio and unconsolidated entities at DLR’s share. The aggregate amount of abatements for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was approximately $6.8 million.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses primarily consist of utilities, property and ad valorem taxes, property management fees, insurance and site maintenance costs, and rental expenses on our ground and building leases. Our buildings require significant power to support data center operations and the cost of electric power and other utilities is a significant component of operating expenses.

Many of our leases contain provisions under which tenants reimburse us for all or a portion of property operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred by us. However, in some cases we are not entitled to reimbursement of property operating expenses, other than utility expense, and real estate taxes under our leases for Turn-Key Flex® facilities. We expect to incur additional operating expenses as we continue to expand.

Costs pertaining to our asset management function, legal, accounting, corporate governance, reporting and compliance are categorized as general and administrative costs within operating expenses.

Other key components of operating expenses include: depreciation of our fixed assets, amortization of intangible assets, and transaction and integration costs.

Other Income / (Expenses)

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities, interest expense, and income tax expense make up the majority of Other income/(expenses). Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities represents our share of the net income/(loss) of entities in which we invest, but do not consolidate under U.S. GAAP. Refer to additional discussion of Digital Core REIT and Ascenty in the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

As a result of the consistent and significant growth in our business since the first property acquisition in 2002, we evaluate period-to-period results for revenue and property level operating expenses on a stabilized versus non-stabilized portfolio basis.

Stabilized: The stabilized portfolio includes properties owned as of the beginning of all periods presented with less than 5% of total rentable square feet under development.

Non-stabilized: The non-stabilized portfolio includes: (1) properties that were undergoing, or were expected to undergo, development activities during any of the periods presented; (2) any properties contributed to joint ventures, sold, or held for sale during the periods presented; and (3) any properties that were acquired or delivered at any point during the periods presented.

A roll forward showing changes in the stabilized and non-stabilized portfolios for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to December 31, 2025 is shown below:

Total operating revenues increased by approximately $430.9 million and $658.4 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025.

Stabilized rental and other services revenue increased by approximately $95.8 million and $209.1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025 primarily due to increases in new leasing and renewals and higher utilities reimbursements across all regions along with the strengthening of foreign exchange rates, primarily the Euro, British pound sterling and Singapore dollar.

Non-stabilized rental and other services revenue increased by approximately $121.4 million and $221.5 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025 primarily due to:

(i)increases of $145.1 million and $284.7 million, respectively, due to the completion of our global development pipeline and related lease up operating activities (with the biggest contributions in Northern Virginia, Frankfurt, Paris and Johannesburg); and
(ii)offset by decreases of $23.7 million and $63.2 million, respectively, related to properties sold or contributed since June 30, 2025.

Fee income and other increased by approximately $213.6 million and $227.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025 primarily due to $201 million of promote income related to achievement of certain performance hurdles associated with the June 2026 Acquisition.

Property level operating expenses include costs to operate and maintain the properties in our portfolio as well as property taxes and insurance.

Total Utilities

Total stabilized utilities expenses increased by approximately $23.3 million and $58.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher power pricing at certain properties in the stabilized portfolio, mainly in EMEA and APAC, offset by rebates received mainly in EMEA.

Total non-stabilized utilities expenses increased by approximately $33.9 million and $58.2 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025 primarily due to:

(i)an increase of approximately $38.3 million and $68.3 million due to higher utility consumption in a growing portfolio of recently completed development sites (with the biggest contributions in Northern Virginia, Frankfurt and Cape Town); offset by
(ii)a decrease of $4.0 million and $11.2 million related to properties sold or contributed after June 30, 2025.

The cost of electric power comprises a significant component of our operating expenses. Any additional taxation or regulation of energy use, including as a result of (i) new legislation that the U.S. Congress may pass, (ii) the regulations that the U.S. EPA has proposed or finalized, (iii) regulations under legislation that states have passed or may pass, or (iv) any further legislation or regulations in EMEA, APAC or other regions where we operate could significantly increase our costs, and we may not be able to effectively pass all of these costs on to our customers. These matters could adversely impact our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

Total Rental Property Operating and Maintenance (Excluding Utilities)

Total stabilized rental property operating and maintenance expenses (excluding utilities) increased by approximately $12.1 million and $34.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025 primarily due to increases in building operations expense, common area maintenance expense and data center labor.

Total non-stabilized rental property operating and maintenance expenses (excluding utilities) increased by approximately $11.6 million and $17.2 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025 primarily due to increases in data center labor expense throughout the portfolio.

Total Property Taxes and Insurance

Total stabilized property taxes and insurance increased by approximately $5.4 million and $10.1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025, due to timing of property tax assessments throughout our North American portfolio, primarily in Northern Virginia.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses include costs which are either non-cash in nature (such as depreciation and amortization) or which do not directly pertain to operation of data center properties. A comparison of other operating expenses for the respective periods is shown below (in thousands).

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses increased $21.7 million and $52.9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025 due to higher head count along with increased information technology costs.

Transactions and Integration

Transactions and integration expenses increased $16.2 million and decreased $8.1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The increase was due to increased expenses for software development initiatives and higher transaction expenses, including an increase in German real estate transfer tax accrual along with expenses associated with various projects. The decrease was driven primarily by German real estate transfer taxes paid in 2025 related to the Interxion combination.

Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Unconsolidated Entities

The change in Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities was approximately $12.1 million and $17.9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The foreign exchange remeasurement of debt associated with our unconsolidated Ascenty entity creates volatility in our equity in earnings and drove this fluctuation, as well as higher income in two of our unconsolidated joint ventures in the Americas region.

Table of Contents

Other income, net

Other income, net increased $100.2 million and $112.8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025, driven primarily by insurance proceeds received in 2026 for business interruption lost revenue, coupled with insurance proceeds for property damage at a data center in Singapore.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $4.6 million and $22.5 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025 driven primarily by higher unsecured senior notes interest expense tied to i) Euro Notes issued in June 2025 — €850 million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Guaranteed Notes due 2034 and ii) Euro Notes issued in November 2025 — €600 million aggregate principal amount of 3.750% Guaranteed Notes due 2033 and €800 million aggregate principal amount of 4.250% Guaranteed Notes due 2037. This was offset by higher capitalized interest due to increased construction activity. In addition, we had lower interest expense associated with our credit facilities due to lower average balances in 2026 as compared to 2025.

Loss on Debt Extinguishment and Modifications

In March 2026, we voluntarily paid down Teraco debt of $53 million. The paydown resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment and modifications of approximately $4.1 million. We incurred no losses on debt extinguishment and debt modifications in the three months ended June 30, 2026.

We incurred no losses on debt extinguishment and debt modifications in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense increased $20.8 million and $19.7 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2025. The increase was due to jurisdictional rate mix within the global group, mainly attributable to tax expense associated with the insurance settlement proceeds related to one of our facilities in Singapore. We carried out an analysis for the purposes of the Model GloBE Rules for Pillar Two and no material top-up tax is expected.

As of June 30, 2026, we are under examination for the taxable year ended December 31, 2021 within the United States, except that the examination of our Parent for such taxable year was closed with a no change determination on April 21, 2026. Additionally, we are under examination for various taxable years ended 2017 and onward within various foreign jurisdictions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The sections “Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources — Parent” and “Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources — Operating Partnership” should be read in conjunction with one another to understand our liquidity and capital resources on a consolidated basis. The term “Parent” refers to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. on an unconsolidated basis, excluding our Operating Partnership. The term “Operating Partnership” or “OP” refers to Digital Realty Trust, L.P. on a consolidated basis.

Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources — Parent

Our Parent does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time, incurring certain expenses in operating as a public company (which are fully reimbursed by the Operating Partnership) and guaranteeing certain unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates. If our Operating Partnership or such subsidiaries fail to fulfill their debt requirements, which trigger Parent guarantee obligations, then our Parent will be required to fulfill its cash payment commitments under such guarantees. Our Parent’s only material asset is its investment in our Operating Partnership.

Our Parent’s principal funding requirement is the payment of dividends on its common and preferred stock. Our Parent’s principal source of funding is the distributions it receives from our Operating Partnership.

As the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership, our Parent has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for our Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management and control. Our Parent causes our Operating Partnership to distribute such portion of its available cash as our Parent may in its discretion determine, in the manner provided in our Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement.

As circumstances warrant, our Parent may issue equity from time to time on an opportunistic basis, dependent upon market conditions and available pricing. Any proceeds from such equity issuances would generally be contributed to our Operating Partnership in exchange for additional equity interests in our Operating Partnership. Our Operating Partnership may use the proceeds to acquire additional properties, to fund development opportunities and for general working capital purposes, including potentially for the repurchase, redemption or retirement of outstanding debt or equity securities.

Our Parent and our Operating Partnership were parties to an ATM Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement dated December 23, 2024 (the “2024 Sales Agreement”). Pursuant to the 2024 Sales Agreement, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. could issue and sell common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $3.0 billion through various named agents from time to time. From April 1, 2026 through May 3, 2026, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. generated net proceeds of approximately $435.2 million from the issuance of approximately 2.4 million common shares under the 2024 Sales Agreement at an average price of $181.21 per share after payment of approximately $2.2 million of commissions to the agents.

On May 4, 2026, our Parent and our Operating Partnership entered into a new ATM Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement (the “2026 Sales Agreement”), pursuant to which, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. can issue and sell common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $7.5 billion through various named agents from time to time. The 2024 Sales Agreement was terminated in connection with entry into the 2026 Sales Agreement, and at the time of such termination, $569.9 million remained unsold under the 2024 Sales Agreement. From May 4, 2026 through June 30, 2026, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. generated net proceeds of approximately $1.2 billion from the issuance of approximately 6.2 million common shares under the 2026 Sales Agreement at an average price of $191.63 per share after payment of approximately $6.2 million of commissions to the agents. As of June 30, 2026, $6.3 billion remains available for future sales under the 2026 Sales Agreement.

55

Table of Contents

The sales of common stock made under the 2026 Sales Agreement will be made in “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act. Our Parent has used and intends to use the net proceeds from the program to temporarily repay borrowings under our Operating Partnership’s Global Revolving Credit Facilities, to acquire additional properties or businesses, to fund development opportunities and for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including potentially for the repayment of other debt or the repurchase, redemption or retirement of outstanding debt securities.

We believe our Operating Partnership’s sources of working capital, specifically its cash flow from operations, and funds available under its Global Revolving Credit Facility are adequate for it to make its distribution payments to our Parent and, in turn, for our Parent to make its dividend payments to its stockholders. However, we cannot assure you that our Operating Partnership’s sources of capital will continue to be available at all or in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, including making distribution payments to our Parent. The lack of availability of capital could adversely affect our Operating Partnership’s ability to pay its distributions to our Parent, which would, in turn, adversely affect our Parent’s ability to pay cash dividends to its stockholders.

Future Uses of Cash — Parent

Our Parent may from time to time seek to retire, redeem or repurchase its equity or the debt securities of our Operating Partnership or its subsidiaries through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, redemptions or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions or other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Dividends and Distributions — Parent

Our Parent is required to distribute 90% of its taxable income (excluding capital gains) on an annual basis to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our Parent intends to make, but is not contractually bound to make, regular quarterly distributions to its common stockholders from cash flow from our Operating Partnership’s operating activities. While historically our Parent has satisfied this distribution requirement by making cash distributions to its stockholders, it may choose to satisfy this requirement by making distributions of cash or other property. All such distributions are at the discretion of our Parent’s Board of Directors. Our Parent considers market factors and our Operating Partnership’s performance in addition to REIT requirements in determining distribution levels. Our Parent has distributed at least 100% of its taxable income annually since inception to minimize corporate level federal and state income taxes. Amounts accumulated for distribution to stockholders are invested primarily in interest-bearing accounts and short-term interest-bearing securities, in a manner consistent with our intention to maintain our Parent’s status as a REIT.

As a result of this distribution requirement, our Operating Partnership cannot rely on retained earnings to fund its ongoing operations to the same extent that other companies whose parent companies are not REITs can. Our Parent may need to continue to raise capital in the debt and equity markets to fund our Operating Partnership’s working capital needs, as well as potential developments at new or existing properties, acquisitions or investments in existing or newly created joint ventures. In addition, our Parent may be required to use borrowings under the Operating Partnership’s Global Revolving Credit Facility (which is guaranteed by our Parent), if necessary, to meet REIT distribution requirements and maintain our Parent’s REIT status.

Distributions out of our Parent’s current or accumulated earnings and profits are generally classified as ordinary income whereas distributions in excess of our Parent’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, to the extent of a stockholder’s U.S. federal income tax basis in our Parent’s stock, are generally classified as a return of capital. Distributions in excess of a stockholder’s U.S. federal income tax basis in our Parent’s stock are generally characterized as capital gain. Cash provided by operating activities has been generally sufficient to fund distributions on an annual basis. However, we may also need to utilize borrowings under the Global Revolving Credit Facility to fund distributions.

For additional information regarding dividends declared and paid by our Parent on its common and preferred stock for the six months ended June 30, 2026, see Note 10. “Equity and Capital” to our condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein.

Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources — Operating Partnership

As of June 30, 2026, we had $1,864.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, excluding $1.8 million of restricted cash. Restricted cash primarily consists of contractual capital expenditures plus other deposits and is included in Other assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As circumstances warrant, our Operating Partnership may dispose of stabilized assets or enter into joint venture arrangements with institutional investors or strategic partners, on an opportunistic basis dependent upon market conditions. Our Operating Partnership may use the proceeds from such dispositions to acquire additional properties, to fund development opportunities and for general working capital purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness. Our liquidity requirements primarily consist of:

operating expenses;
development costs and other expenditures associated with our properties, including joint ventures;
distributions to our Parent to enable it to make dividend payments;
distributions to unitholders of common limited partnership interests in Digital Realty Trust, L.P.;
debt service; and
potentially, acquisitions.

The Global Revolving Credit Facilities provide for borrowings up to $4.5 billion (including approximately $0.3 billion available to be drawn on the Yen Revolving Credit Facility) based on currency commitments and foreign exchange rates as of June 30, 2026. The Global Revolving Credit Facility provides for borrowings in a variety of currencies and can be increased by an additional $1.8 billion, subject to receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent. Both facilities mature on January 24, 2029, with two six-month extension options available.

These facilities also feature a sustainability-linked pricing component, with pricing subject to adjustment based on annual performance targets, further demonstrating our continued leadership and commitment to sustainable business practices.

The Global Revolving Credit Facility provides for borrowings in a variety of currencies and includes the ability to add additional currencies in the future. We have used and intend to use available borrowings under the Global Revolving Credit Facilities to acquire additional properties, fund development opportunities and for general working capital and other corporate purposes, including potentially for the repurchase, redemption or retirement of outstanding debt or equity securities. For additional information regarding our Global Revolving Credit Facilities, see Note 8. “Debt of the Operating Partnership” in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Future Uses of Cash

Our properties require periodic investments of capital for customer-related capital expenditures and for general capital improvements. Depending upon customer demand, we expect to incur significant improvement costs to build out and develop additional capacity. At June 30, 2026, we had open commitments, related to construction contracts of approximately $4.1 billion, including amounts reimbursable of approximately $320.1 million.

For the remainder of 2026, we currently expect to incur approximately $2.8 billion to $3.3 billion of capital expenditures, which includes our share of joint venture contributions and is net of partner contributions for our development programs. This amount could go up or down, potentially materially, based on numerous factors, including changes in demand, leasing results and availability of debt or equity capital.

Development Projects

We are investing in our portfolio, which includes consolidated and unconsolidated projects, to organically expand our capacity. As of June 30, 2026, we had 1,402 megawatts of projects underway across multiple metropolitan areas around the world, representing an approximately 82% increase of capacity under development as compared to December 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, 54% of the 1,402 megawatts of projects underway was pre-leased. As of June 30, 2026, we had over 7 gigawatts of additional future development capacity, of which approximately 70% came from locations with more than 100 megawatts of buildable capacity, 20% came from locations with between 25 megawatts and 100 megawatts of buildable capacity and 10% came from locations with less than 25 megawatts of buildable capacity. As of June 30, 2026, we estimate that the pre-tax stabilized cash yields on our total 1,402 megawatts of capacity under construction across the world is approximately 11.5%. Pre-tax estimated stabilized cash yields are based on total expected investment amounts and anticipated net operating income from leases signed or other assumptions based on market conditions. We calculate the anticipated stabilized net operating income for any given project by subtracting the project’s estimated stabilized operating expenses and depreciation and amortization from its estimated stabilized revenue, which we estimate based on leases signed and other assumptions based on market conditions. No assurance can be given that we will complete any of these projects on the terms currently contemplated, or at all, that the actual cost of any of these projects will not exceed our estimates or that the actual yield achieved by such projects will be consistent with our estimates.

Our development capital expenditures are generally funded by our available cash and equity and debt capital.

Indirect costs, including interest, capitalized in the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were $157.1 million and $126.6 million, respectively. Capitalized interest comprised approximately $72.7 million and $59.5 million of the total indirect costs capitalized for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Capitalized interest in the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased, compared to the same period in 2025, due to an increase in qualifying activities and higher interest rates.

Excluding capitalized interest, indirect costs in the six months ended June 30, 2026 increased compared to the same period in 2025 due primarily to capitalized amounts relating to compensation expense of employees directly engaged in construction activities. See “Future Uses of Cash” for a discussion of the amount of capital expenditures we expect to incur during the year ending December 31, 2026.

Consistent with our growth strategy, we actively pursue potential acquisition opportunities, with due diligence and negotiations often at different stages at different times. The dollar value of acquisitions for the year ending December 31, 2026 will depend upon numerous factors, including customer demand, leasing results, availability of debt or equity capital and acquisition opportunities. Further, the growing acceptance by private institutional investors of the data center asset class has generally pushed capitalization rates lower, as such private investors may often have lower return expectations than us. As a result, we anticipate near-term single asset acquisitions activity to comprise a smaller percentage of our growth while this market dynamic persists.

Table of Contents

We may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase our outstanding debt or the equity of our Parent through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities of our Parent in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend upon prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions or other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Sources of Cash

We expect to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, including payment of scheduled debt maturities and funding of acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements, with net cash from operations, future long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities and the proceeds of equity issuances by our Parent. We also may fund future short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, including acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements, using our Global Revolving Credit Facilities pending permanent financing. As of July 29, 2026, we had approximately $3.6 billion of borrowings available under our Global Revolving Credit Facilities.

During the quarter, we sold a non-core asset in the Atlanta metro area for gross proceeds of approximately $25 million and recognized a gain on disposition of approximately $2.0 million. In May, we contributed two development projects to the Fund, with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $439 million, for gross proceeds of $447 million and recognized a gain on disposition of approximately $8 million.

Distributions

All distributions on our units are at the discretion of our Parent’s Board of Directors. For additional information regarding distributions paid on our common and preferred units for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, see Note 10. “Equity and Capital” to our condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein.

Our ratio of debt to total enterprise value was approximately 21.4% (based on the closing price of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock on June 30, 2026 of $179.58). For this purpose, our total enterprise value is defined as the sum of the market value of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s outstanding common stock (which may decrease, thereby increasing our debt to total enterprise value ratio), plus the liquidation value of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s preferred stock, plus the aggregate value of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. units not held by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (with the per unit value equal to the market value of one share of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock and excluding long-term incentive units, Class C units and Class D units), plus the book value of our total consolidated indebtedness.

Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership

Noncontrolling interests relate to the common units in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. that are not owned by Digital Realty Trust, Inc., which, as of June 30, 2026, amounted to 1.8% of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. common units. Historically, Digital Realty Trust, L.P. has issued common units to third party sellers in connection with our acquisition of real estate interests from such third parties.

Limited partners have the right to require Digital Realty Trust, L.P. to redeem part or all of their common units for cash based on the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock at the time of redemption. Alternatively, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. may elect to acquire those common units in exchange for shares of its common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of stock rights, specified extraordinary distributions and similar events. As of June 30, 2026, common units and incentive units of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. are classified within equity, except for certain common units of approximately 0.2 million issued to certain former DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. unitholders in the Company’s acquisition of DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc., which are subject to certain restrictions and, accordingly, are not presented as permanent equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Inflation

Many of our leases provide for separate real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, many of the leases provide for fixed base rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations described above. A period of inflation, however, could cause an increase in the cost of our variable-rate borrowings, including borrowings under our Global Revolving Credit Facilities, borrowings under our Euro Term Loan Facility and issuances of unsecured senior notes.

Funds from Operations

We calculate funds from operations, or FFO, in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (Nareit) in the Nareit Funds From Operations White Paper - 2018 Restatement. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gain (loss) from the disposition of real estate assets, provision for impairment, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), our share of unconsolidated JV real estate related depreciation & amortization, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in operating partnership and, reconciling items related to noncontrolling interests. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our data centers that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and capitalized leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our data centers, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our financial condition and results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ FFO. FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.

(2)As part of the acquisition of Teraco in 2022, certain of Teraco's minority indirect shareholders have the right to put their shares in an upstream parent company of Teraco to the Company in exchange for cash or the equivalent value of shares of the Company common stock, or a combination thereof. U.S. GAAP requires the Company to assume the put right is settled in shares for purposes of calculating diluted EPS. This same approach was utilized to calculate FFO per share. When calculating diluted FFO, Teraco related minority interest is added back to the FFO numerator as the denominator assumes all shares have been put back to the Company. The Teraco noncontrolling share of FFO was $19,979 and $15,022 for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $35,389 and $28,308 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments depend upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit ratings and other factors.

Analysis of Debt between Fixed and Variable Rate

We use interest rate swap agreements and fixed rate debt to reduce our exposure to interest rate movements. As of June 30, 2026, our consolidated debt was as follows (in millions):

(210)

Decrease in fair value of fixed rate debt following a 10% increase in interest rates

Interest risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements of a variety of foreign currencies, which may affect future costs and cash flows. Our primary currency exposures are to the Euro, Japanese yen, British pound sterling, Singapore dollar, South African rand and Brazilian real. Our exposure to foreign exchange risk related to the Brazilian real is limited to the impact that currency has on our share of the Ascenty entity’s operations and financial position. We attempt to mitigate a portion of the risk of currency fluctuations by financing our investments in local currency denominations in order to reduce our exposure to any foreign currency transaction gains or losses resulting from transactions entered into in currencies other than the functional currencies of the associated entities. We also utilize cross-currency interest rate swaps, designated as net investment hedges, which effectively convert a portion of our U.S. dollar-denominated fixed-rate debt to foreign currency-denominated fixed-rate debt, to hedge the currency exposure associated with our net investment in our foreign subsidiaries. In addition, we may also hedge well-defined transactional exposures with foreign currency forwards or options, although there can be no assurances that these will be effective. As a result, changes in the relation of any such foreign currency to U.S. dollar may affect our revenues, operating margins and distributions and may also affect the book value of our assets and the amount of stockholders’ equity.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures (Digital Realty Trust, Inc.)

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and its management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, the Company has investments in certain unconsolidated entities, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As the Company does not control or manage these entities, its disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities may be substantially more limited than those it maintains with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) or Rule 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, management of the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures that were in effect as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during its most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
