FOSTER CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq:EQIX), the leading provider of network-neutral data centers and Internet exchange services, today reported quarterly results for the period ended June 30, 2008.

Revenues were $172.0 million for the second quarter, a 9% increase over the previous quarter, and an 87% increase over the same quarter last year. Recurring revenues, consisting primarily of colocation, interconnection and managed services, were $163.4 million for the second quarter, a 9% increase over the previous quarter and an 86% increase over the same quarter last year. Non-recurring revenues were $8.6 million in the quarter, consisting primarily of professional services and installation fees.

Cost of revenues were $102.0 million for the second quarter, an 8% increase over the previous quarter and an 83% increase over the same quarter last year. Excluding depreciation, amortization, accretion and stock-based compensation of $35.9 million, cost of revenues were $66.1 million for the second quarter, a 7% increase over the previous quarter and a 96% increase over the same quarter last year. Cash gross margins, defined as gross profit less depreciation, amortization, accretion and stock-based compensation, divided by revenues, for the quarter were 62%, up from 61% the previous quarter and down from 63% the same quarter last year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $56.7 million for the second quarter, a 14% increase from the previous quarter and a 70% increase over the same quarter last year. Excluding depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation of $19.9 million, selling, general and administrative expenses were $36.8 million for the second quarter, an 8% increase over the previous quarter and a 62% increase over the same quarter last year.

Net income for the second quarter was $2.2 million compared to net income of $5.4 million in the previous quarter and net income of $1.2 million in the same quarter last year. This reflects a negative $3.0 million quarter-over-quarter fluctuation related to foreign exchange, and a specific $3.1 million increase in stock-based compensation expense related to the executive change in our European operations. This represents a basic net income per share of $0.06 based on a weighted average share count of 36.6 million and a diluted net income per share of $0.06 based on a weighted average share count of 37.8 million for the second quarter of 2008.

EBITDA, defined as income or loss from operations before depreciation, amortization, accretion, stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges and any gains or losses from asset sales, for the second quarter was $69.1 million, an increase of 11% from the previous quarter and up 96% from the same quarter last year.

“Equinix delivered another strong quarter and, as demonstrated by our increased guidance, is positioned for a very strong second half,” said Steve Smith, president and CEO of Equinix. “With our continued focus on business execution and delivering on customer needs, we have a solid foundation to fully capitalize on our market leadership position.”

Capital expenditures in the second quarter were $84.5 million, of which $11.9 million was attributed to ongoing capital expenditures and $72.6 million was attributed to expansion capital expenditures.

The Company generated cash from operating activities of $66.5 million for the second quarter as compared to $63.1 million in the previous quarter, and $38.1 million the same quarter last year. Cash used in investing activities was $108.4 million in the second quarter as compared to $165.1 million in the previous quarter and $157.4 million for the same quarter last year.

As of June 30, 2008, the Company’s cash, cash equivalents and investments were $324.7 million, as compared to $325.5 million as of March 31, 2008.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Equinix continues to provide all information required in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), but it believes that evaluating its ongoing operating results may be difficult if limited to reviewing only GAAP financial measures. Accordingly, Equinix uses non- GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA, cash cost of revenues, cash gross margins, cash operating expenses (also known as cash selling, general and administrative expenses or cash SG&A), free cash flow and adjusted free cash flow to evaluate its operations. In presenting these non-GAAP financial measures, Equinix excludes certain non-cash or non-recurring items that it believes are not good indicators of the Company's current or future operating performance. These non-cash or non-recurring items are depreciation, amortization, accretion, stock-based compensation, restructuring charges and, with respect to 2007 results, the loss from conversion and extinguishment of debt and gain on EMS sale. Recent legislative and regulatory changes encourage use of and emphasis on GAAP financial metrics and require companies to explain why non-GAAP financial metrics are relevant to management and investors. Equinix excludes these non-cash or non-recurring items in order for Equinix's lenders, investors, and industry analysts who review and report on the Company, to better evaluate the Company's operating performance and cash spending levels relative to its industry sector and competitor base.

Equinix excludes depreciation expense as these charges primarily relate to the initial construction costs of our IBX centers and do not reflect our current or future cash spending levels to support our business. Our IBX centers are long-lived assets, and have an economic life greater than ten years. The construction costs of our IBX centers do not recur and future capital expenditures remain minor relative to our initial investment. This is a trend we expect to continue. In addition, depreciation is also based on the estimated useful lives of our IBX centers. These estimates could vary from actual performance of the asset, are based on historic costs incurred to build out our IBX centers, and are not indicative of current or expected future capital expenditures. Therefore, Equinix excludes depreciation from its operating results when evaluating its operations.

In addition, in presenting the non-GAAP financial measures, Equinix excludes amortization expense related to certain intangible assets, as it represents a cost that may not recur and is not a good indicator of the Company's current or future operating performance. Equinix excludes accretion expense, both as it relates to its asset retirement obligations as well as its accrued restructuring charge liabilities, as these expenses represent costs, which Equinix believes are not meaningful in evaluating the Company's current operations. Equinix excludes non-cash stock-based compensation expense as it represents expense attributed to stock awards that have no current or future cash obligations. As such, we, and our investors and analysts, exclude this stock-based compensation expense when assessing the cash generating performance of our operations. Equinix excludes restructuring charges from its non-GAAP financial measures. The restructuring charges relate to the Company's decision to exit leases for excess space adjacent to several of our IBX centers, which we do not intend to build out now or in the future. With respect to its 2007 results, Equinix excludes the loss from conversion and extinguishment of debt and the gain from EMS sale. The loss from conversion and extinguishment of debt represents activity that is not typical for the company. The gain on EMS sale represents a unique transaction for the Company and future sales of other service offerings are not expected. Management believes such items as restructuring charges, the gain on the sale of a service offering and the loss from conversion and extinguishment of debt are unique transactions that are not expected to recur, and consequently, does not consider these items as a normal component of expenses or income related to current and ongoing operations.

Our management does not itself, nor does it suggest that investors should, consider such non- GAAP financial measures in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. However, we have presented such non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate our operating results in a manner that focuses on what management believes to be our core, ongoing business operations. Management believes that the inclusion of these non-GAAP financial measures provide consistency and comparability with past reports and provide a better understanding of the overall performance of the business and its ability to perform in subsequent periods. Equinix believes that if it did not provide such non-GAAP financial information, investors would not have all the necessary data to analyze Equinix effectively.

Investors should note, however, that the non-GAAP financial measures used by Equinix may not be the same non-GAAP financial measures, and may not be calculated in the same manner, as that of other companies. In addition, whenever Equinix uses such non-GAAP financial measures, it provides a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely applicable GAAP financial measure. Investors are encouraged to review the related GAAP financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Equinix does not provide forward-looking guidance for certain financial data, such as depreciation, amortization, accretion, net income (loss) from operations, cash generated from operating activities and cash used in investing activities, and as a result, is not able to provide a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures for forward-looking data. Equinix intends to calculate the various non-GAAP financial measures in future periods consistent with how it was calculated for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, presented within this press release.
