EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 of Digital Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Digital Realty Trust, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership, of which Digital Realty Trust, Inc. is the sole general partner. 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. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “our operating partnership” or “the operating partnership” refer to Digital Realty Trust, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and the sole general partner of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. As of June 30, 2014, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. owned an approximate 97.7% common general partnership interest in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. The remaining approximate 2.3% common limited partnership interests are owned by non-affiliated investors and certain directors and officers of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. As of June 30, 2014, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. 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., Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for the operating partnership’s day-to-day management and control.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. into this single report results in the following benefits:

•

enhancing investors’ understanding of our company and our operating partnership 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 our company and our operating partnership; and

•

creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

There are a few differences between our company and our operating partnership, which are reflected in the disclosure in this report. We believe it is important to understand the differences between our company and our operating partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated consolidated company. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. As a result, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of Digital Realty Trust, L.P., issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain unsecured debt of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. and certain of its subsidiaries. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. itself does not issue any indebtedness but guarantees the unsecured debt of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. and certain of its subsidiaries, as disclosed in this report. Digital Realty Trust, L.P. holds substantially all the assets of the company and holds the ownership interests in the company’s joint ventures. Digital Realty Trust, L.P. conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by Digital Realty Trust, Inc., which are generally contributed to Digital Realty Trust, L.P. in exchange for partnership units, Digital Realty Trust, L.P. generates the capital required by the company’s business through Digital Realty Trust, L.P.’s operations, by Digital Realty Trust, L.P.’s direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of partnership units.

The presentation of noncontrolling interests in operating partnership, stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the condensed consolidated financial statements of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and those of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. The common limited partnership interests held by the limited partners in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. are presented as limited partners’ capital within partners’ capital in Digital Realty Trust, L.P.’s condensed consolidated financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in operating partnership within equity in Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The common and preferred partnership interests held by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. are presented as general partner’s capital within partners’ capital in Digital Realty Trust, L.P.’s condensed consolidated financial statements and as preferred stock, common stock, additional paid-in capital and accumulated dividends in excess of earnings within stockholders’ equity in Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The differences in the presentations between stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from the differences in the equity issued at the Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and the Digital Realty Trust, L.P. levels.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the company and the operating partnership, this report presents the following separate sections for each of the company and the operating partnership:

•

Condensed consolidated financial statements;

•

the following notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements:

•

Debt of the company and Debt of the operating partnership;

•

Income per Share and Income per Unit; and

•

Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, Net of the company and Capital and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income of the operating partnership;

•

Liquidity and Capital Resources in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations; and

•

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

This report also includes separate Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of the company and the operating partnership in order to establish that the Interim Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each entity have made the requisite certifications and that the company and the operating partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

In order to highlight the differences between the company and the operating partnership, the separate sections in this report for the company and the operating partnership specifically refer to the company and the operating partnership. In the sections that combine disclosure of the company and the operating partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the company. Although the operating partnership is generally the entity that enters into contracts and joint ventures and holds assets and debt, reference to the company is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and the company operates the business through the operating partnership.

As general partner with control of the operating partnership, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. consolidates the operating partnership for financial reporting purposes, and it does not have significant assets other than its investment in the operating partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. are the same on their respective condensed consolidated financial statements. The separate discussions of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. 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.

(the Operating Partnership) and the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership (collectively, we, our, us or the Company) is engaged in the business of owning, acquiring, developing and managing technology-related real estate. The Company is focused on providing customer driven datacenter solutions for domestic and international tenants across a variety of industry verticals ranging from financial services, cloud and information technology services, to manufacturing, energy, health care and consumer products. As of June 30, 2014, our portfolio consisted of 130 properties, including 13 properties held as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and developable land, of which 104 are located throughout North America, 21 are located in Europe, three are located in Australia and two are located in Asia. We are diversified in major markets where corporate datacenter and technology tenants are concentrated, including the Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, New York Metro, Northern Virginia, Phoenix, San Francisco and Silicon Valley metropolitan areas in the United States, Amsterdam, Dublin, London and Paris markets in Europe and Singapore, Sydney, Melbourne, Hong Kong and Osaka markets in the Asia Pacific region. The portfolio consists of Internet gateway and corporate datacenter properties, technology manufacturing properties and regional or national headquarters of technology companies.

The Operating Partnership was formed on July 21, 2004 in anticipation of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s initial public offering (IPO) on November 3, 2004 and commenced operations on that date. As of June 30, 2014, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. owns a 97.7% common interest and a 100% preferred interest in the Operating Partnership. As sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management and control. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership do not have rights to replace Digital Realty Trust, Inc. as the general partner nor do they have participating rights, although they do have certain protective rights.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all of the accounts of Digital Realty Trust, Inc., the Operating Partnership and the subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and in compliance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise indicated. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and the Operating Partnership have been combined to provide the following benefits:

•

enhancing investors’ understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership 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 Company and the Operating Partnership; and

•

creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one set of notes instead of two separate sets of notes.

There are a few differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, which are reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements. We believe it is important to understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated consolidated company. Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. itself does not hold any indebtedness but guarantees the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries, as disclosed in these notes.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

June 30, 2014 and 2013

The Operating Partnership holds substantially all the assets of the Company and holds the ownership interests in the Company’s joint ventures. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by Digital Realty Trust, Inc., which are generally contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the Company’s business through the Operating Partnership’s operations, by the Operating Partnership’s direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of partnership units.

The presentation of noncontrolling interests in operating partnership, stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the condensed consolidated financial statements of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and those of the Operating Partnership. The common limited partnership interests held by the limited partners in the Operating Partnership are presented as limited partners’ capital within partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in operating partnership within equity in Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The common and preferred partnership interests held by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. in the Operating Partnership are presented as general partner’s capital within partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements and as preferred stock, common stock, additional paid-in capital and accumulated dividends in excess of earnings within stockholders’ equity in Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The differences in the presentations between stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from the differences in the equity issued at the Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and the Operating Partnership levels.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, these consolidated financial statements present the following separate sections for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:

•

condensed consolidated face financial statements; and

•

the following notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements:

•

Debt of the Company and Debt of the Operating Partnership;

•

Income per Share and Income per Unit; and

•

Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, Net of the Company and Capital and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income of the Operating Partnership.

In the sections that combine disclosure of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and the Operating Partnership, these notes refer to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that enters into contracts and joint ventures and holds assets and debt, reference to the Company is appropriate because the business is one enterprise and the Company operates the business through the Operating Partnership.

(b) Cash Equivalents

For the purpose of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, we consider short-term investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2014, cash equivalents consist of investments in money market instruments.

(c) Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

The Company’s investment in unconsolidated joint ventures is accounted for using the equity method, whereby the investment is increased for capital contributed and our share of the joint ventures’ net income and decreased by distributions we receive and our share of any losses of the joint ventures.

We amortize the difference between the cost of our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and the book value of the underlying equity into equity in earnings from unconsolidated affiliates on a straight-line basis consistent with the lives of the underlying assets.

(d) Capitalization of Costs

Direct and indirect project costs that are clearly associated with the development of properties are capitalized as incurred. Project costs include all costs directly associated with the development of a property, including construction costs, interest, property taxes, insurance, legal fees and costs of personnel working on the project. Indirect costs that do not clearly relate to the projects under development are not capitalized and are charged to expense as incurred.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)

June 30, 2014 and 2013

Capitalization of costs begins when the activities necessary to get the development project ready for its intended use begins, which include costs incurred before the beginning of construction. Capitalization of costs ceases when the development project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Determining when a development project commences, and when it is substantially complete and ready for its intended use involves a degree of judgment. We generally consider a development project to be substantially complete and ready for its intended use upon receipt of a certificate of occupancy. If and when development of a property is suspended pursuant to a formal change in the planned use of the property, we will evaluate whether the accumulated costs exceed the estimated value of the project and write off the amount of any such excess accumulated costs. For a development project that is suspended for reasons other than a formal change in the planned use of such property, the accumulated project costs are evaluated for impairment consistent with our impairment policies for long-lived assets. Capitalized costs are allocated to the specific components of a project that are benefited.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we capitalized interest of approximately $4.9 million and $6.6 million, respectively, and $10.2 million and $12.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we capitalized amounts relating to compensation expense of employees direct and incremental to construction and successful leasing activities of approximately $12.5 million and $9.6 million, respectively, and $24.9 million and $19.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Cash flows from capitalized leasing costs of $21.8 million and $21.0 million are included in improvements to and advances for investments in real estate in cash flows from investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(e) Share-Based Compensation

The Company measures all share-based compensation awards at fair value on the date they are granted to employees and directors, and recognizes compensation cost, net of forfeitures, over the requisite service period for awards with only a service condition. The estimated fair value of the long-term incentive units and Class D Units (discussed in note 13) granted by us is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected service period.

The fair value of share-based compensation awards that contain a market condition is measured using a lattice model and not adjusted based on actual achievement of the performance goals.

(f) Income Taxes

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) for federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. generally is not required to pay federal corporate income tax to the extent taxable income is currently distributed to its stockholders. If Digital Realty Trust, Inc. fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates.

The Company is subject to foreign, state and local income taxes in the jurisdictions in which it conducts business. The Company’s U.S. consolidated taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to both federal and state income taxes to the extent there is taxable income. Accordingly, the Company recognizes current and deferred income taxes for its taxable REIT subsidiaries, certain states and non-U.S. jurisdictions, as appropriate.

We assess our significant tax positions in accordance with U.S. GAAP for all open tax years and determine whether we have any material unrecognized liabilities from uncertain tax benefits. If a tax position is not considered “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained solely on its technical merits, no benefits of the tax position are to be recognized (for financial statement purposes). As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we have no assets or liabilities for uncertain tax positions. We classify interest and penalties from significant uncertain tax positions as interest expense and operating expense, respectively, in our condensed consolidated income statements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we had no such interest or penalties. The tax year 2010 and thereafter remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions with which the Company files tax returns.

See Note 10 for further discussion on income taxes.

(g) Presentation of Transactional-based Taxes

We account for transactional-based taxes, such as value added tax, or VAT, for our international properties on a net basis.

(h) Fee Income

Occasionally, customers engage the company for certain services. The nature of these services historically involves property management, construction management, and assistance with financing. The proper revenue recognition of these services can be different, depending on whether the arrangements are service revenue or contractor type revenue.

Service revenues are typically recognized on an equal monthly basis based on the minimum fee to be earned. The monthly amounts could be adjusted depending on if certain performance milestones are met.

Fee income also includes management fees. These fees arise from contractual agreements with entities in which we have a noncontrolling interest. The management fees are recognized as earned under the respective agreements. Management and other fee income related to partially owned entities are recognized to the extent attributable to the unaffiliated interest.

Contractor type revenue for long-term contracts is recognized under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Revenues are determined by measuring the percentage of total costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each construction management contract based on current estimates of costs to complete. Contract costs include all labor and benefits, materials, subcontracts, and an allocation of indirect costs related to contract performance. Indirect costs are allocated to projects based upon labor hours charged. Third party costs are included in construction management expense and their reimbursements are included in construction management revenue to the extent that the Company is the primary obligor for the third party costs. Otherwise, construction management revenue and expense is reflected net of third party costs. As long-term design-build projects extend over one or more years, revisions in cost and estimated earnings during the course of the work are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts which require the revision become known. At the time a loss on a design-build project becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated loss is recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Change orders are recognized when they are approved by the client.

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted construction management projects are included in other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted construction management projects are included in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Customers are billed on a monthly basis at the end of each month, which can be in advance of work performed.

(i) Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

Fair value under U.S. GAAP is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, our fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair-value measurements, we use a fair-value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair-value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair-value hierarchy, the lowest level input that is significant would be used to determine the fair-value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair-value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

(j) Transactions Expense

Transactions expense includes acquisition-related expenses and other business development expenses, which are expensed as incurred. Acquisition-related expenses include closing costs, broker commissions and other professional fees, including legal and accounting fees related to acquisitions and significant transactions.

(k) Management’s Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates made. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to the valuation of our real estate properties, contingent consideration, accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable, performance-based equity compensation plans, the completeness of accrued liabilities and Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s qualification as a REIT. We base our estimates on historical experience, current market conditions, and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may vary from those estimates and those estimates could vary under different assumptions or conditions.

(l) Segment and Geographic Information

All of our properties generate similar revenues and expenses related to tenant rent and reimbursements and operating expenses. The delivery of our products is consistent across all properties and although services are provided to a wide range of customers, the types of real estate services provided to them are standardized throughout the portfolio. As such, the properties in our portfolio have similar economic characteristics and the nature of the products and services provided to our customers and the method to distribute such services are consistent throughout the portfolio. Consequently, our properties qualify for aggregation into one reporting segment.

Operating revenues from properties in the United States were $305.5 million and $276.9 million and outside the United States were $95.9 million and $86.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Operating revenues from properties in the United States were $600.7 million and $550.9 million and outside the United States were $191.3 million and $171.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We had long-lived assets located in the United States of $5.7 billion and $5.6 billion and outside the United States of $2.8 billion and $2.7 billion as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Operating revenues from properties located in the United Kingdom were $54.5 million and $48.6 million, or 13.6% and 13.4% of total operating revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Operating revenues from properties located in the United Kingdom were $109.4 million and $95.9 million, or 13.8% and 13.3% of total operating revenues, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. No other foreign country comprised more than 10% of total operating revenues for each of these periods. We had long-lived assets located in the United Kingdom of $1.8 billion and $1.8 billion, or 21.2% and 21.1% of total long-lived assets, as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. No other foreign country comprised more than 10% of total long-lived assets as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Certain reclassifications to prior year amounts have been made to conform to the current year presentation. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, ($0.4) million and $0.9 million were reclassified from rental property operating and maintenance expense to change in fair value of contingent consideration, respectively.

(n) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, which amends the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under ASU 2014-08, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the component or group of components meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale or when the component or group of components is disposed of by sale or other than by sale. In addition, this ASU requires additional disclosures about both discontinued operations and the disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements. As permitted by the standard, the Company has elected to early adopt the provisions of ASU 2014-08 as of January 1, 2014 and is applying the provisions prospectively.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that supersedes most all existing revenue recognition guidance. This standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. However, leasing contracts, representing the major source of the Company’s revenues, are not within the scope of the new standard and will continue to be accounted for under existing standards. This new standard is effective for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning on January 1, 2017 with early adoption prohibited. The Company has not yet determined the effects on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes resulting from the adoption of this new standard.

3. Investments in Real Estate

We acquired no real estate properties during the six months ended June 30, 2014.

On April 7, 2014, the Operating Partnership sold 6 Braham Street to the tenant pursuant to a sale of the ownership interests in the Operating Partnership’s wholly owned subsidiary that owned the building for £25.0 million (or approximately $41.5 million based on the exchange rate as of April 7, 2014). The transaction after costs and various tenant prepayments resulted in net proceeds of approximately £22.6 million (or approximately $37.5 million based on the exchange rate as of April 7, 2014) and a net gain of approximately $15.9 million. The transaction includes substantially all of the assets of 6 Braham Street and we expect no further cash flows following the sale date.

The property was identified as held for sale in March 2014. 6 Braham Street was not a significant component of our United Kingdom portfolio nor does the sale of 6 Braham represent a significant shift in our strategy.

4. Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

As of June 30, 2014, our investment in unconsolidated joint ventures consists of effective 50% interests in joint ventures that own a data center property at 2001 Sixth Avenue in Seattle, Washington, a data center property at 2020 Fifth Avenue in Seattle, Washington and a data center property at 33 Chun Choi Street in Hong Kong, and a 20% interest in a joint venture, which owns ten data center properties, with an investment fund managed by Prudential Real Estate Investors (PREI^®). The following tables present summarized financial information for the joint ventures as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

Our investment in and share of equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures									$	70,504								$	4,665

PREI ^® Joint Venture

On March 5, 2014, we contributed the 636 Pierce Street property, which we acquired in December 2013, to our unconsolidated joint venture with the PREI^® fund that was formed in September 2013. The property was valued at approximately $40.4 million and subject to $26.1 million in debt, which the joint venture assumed. The PREI^® fund contributed approximately $11.4 million in cash for their 80% share of the net asset value of $14.3 million. Subsequent to the closing, the joint venture refinanced the existing debt with $23.0 million drawn from the joint venture’s bank facility. Including the refinance costs, the PREI^® fund contributed $17.5 million for the 636 Pierce Street property, bringing their contributed capital in the joint venture to $164.8 million.

The transaction produced a $1.9 million gain for the Company representing the difference between the $11.4 million of cash proceeds received by the Company for their 80% share of the net asset less the Company’s book value.

Differences between the Company’s investment in the joint venture and the amount of the underlying equity in net assets of the joint venture are due to basis differences resulting from the Company’s equity investment recorded at its historical basis versus the fair value of the Company’s contributed interest in the joint venture. Our proportionate share of the earnings or losses related to this unconsolidated joint venture is reflected as equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures on the accompanying consolidated income statements.

Global Revolving Credit Facility

On August 15, 2013, the Operating Partnership refinanced its global revolving credit facility, increasing its total borrowing capacity to $2.0 billion from $1.8 billion. The global revolving credit facility has an accordion feature that would enable us to increase the borrowing capacity of the credit facility to $2.55 billion, subject to the receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent. The refinanced facility matures on November 3, 2017, with two six-month extension options. The interest rate for borrowings under the expanded facility equals the applicable index plus a margin which is based on the credit ratings of our long-term debt and is currently 110 basis points. An annual facility fee on the total commitment amount of the facility, based on the credit ratings of our long-term debt, currently 20 basis points, is payable quarterly. Funds may be drawn in U.S., Canadian, Singapore, Australian and Hong Kong dollars, as well as Euro, British pound sterling, Swiss franc, Japanese yen and Mexican peso denominations. As of June 30, 2014, interest rates are based on 1-month LIBOR, 1-month EURIBOR, 1-month BBR, 1-month HIBOR, 1-month JPY LIBOR and 1-month CDOR plus a margin of 1.10%. We have used and intend to use available borrowings under the global revolving credit facility to acquire additional properties, to 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. As of June 30, 2014, we have capitalized approximately $18.0 million of financing costs related to the global revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2014, approximately $374.6 million was drawn under the global revolving credit facility and $24.8 million of letters of credit were issued.

The global revolving credit facility contains various restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make certain investments or merge with another company, and requirements to maintain financial coverage ratios, including with respect to unencumbered assets. In addition, the global revolving credit facility restricts Digital Realty Trust, Inc. from making distributions to its stockholders, or redeeming or otherwise repurchasing shares of its capital stock, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, except in limited circumstances including as 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, 2014, we were in compliance with all of such covenants.

Unsecured Term Loan

On August 15, 2013, we refinanced the senior unsecured multi-currency term loan facility, increasing its total borrowing capacity to $1.0 billion from $750.0 million, and pursuant to the accordion feature total commitments can be increased up to $1.1 billion, subject to the receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent. The facility matures on April 16, 2017, with two six-month extension options. Interest rates are based on our senior unsecured debt ratings and are currently 120 basis points over the applicable index for floating rate advances. Funds may be drawn in U.S, Singapore and Australian dollars, as well as Euro and British pound sterling denominations with the option to add Hong Kong dollars and Japanese yen upon an accordion exercise. Based on exchange rates in effect at June 30, 2014, the balance outstanding is approximately $1,034.8 million. We have used borrowings under the term loan for acquisitions, repayment of indebtedness, development, working capital and general corporate purposes. The covenants under this loan are consistent with our global revolving credit facility and, as of June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with all of such covenants. As of June 30, 2014, we have capitalized approximately $8.4 million of financing costs related to the unsecured term loan.

Exchangeable Senior Debentures

5.50% Exchangeable Senior Debentures due 2029

On April 20, 2009, the Operating Partnership issued $266.4 million of its 5.50% exchangeable senior debentures due April 15, 2029 (the 2029 Debentures). Costs incurred to issue the 2029 Debentures were approximately $7.8 million. These costs were amortized over a period of five years, which represented the estimated term of the 2029 Debentures, and are included in deferred financing costs, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The 2029 Debentures were general unsecured senior obligations of the Operating Partnership, ranked equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership and were fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Digital Realty Trust, Inc.

Interest was payable on October 15 and April 15 of each year beginning October 15, 2009 until the maturity date of April 15, 2029. The 2029 Debentures bore interest at 5.50% per annum and were exchangeable for shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock at an exchange rate that was initially 23.2558 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Debentures. The exchange rate on the 2029 Debentures was subject to adjustment for certain events, including, but not limited to, certain dividends on Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock in excess of $0.33 per share per quarter (the “reference dividend”). Effective December 11, 2013, the exchange rate had been adjusted to 25.5490 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Debentures as a result of the aggregate dividends in excess of the reference dividend that Digital Realty Trust, Inc. declared and paid on its common stock beginning with the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and through the quarter ended December 31, 2013.

On March 17, 2014, we commenced an offer to repurchase, at the option of each holder, any and all of the outstanding 2029 Debentures at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, as required by the terms of the indenture governing the 2029 Debentures. The repurchase offer expired on April 11, 2014. No 2029 Debentures were repurchased pursuant to this offer. On March 17, 2014, we also distributed a Notice of Redemption to the holders of the 2029 Debentures that the Operating Partnership intended to redeem all of the outstanding 2029 Debentures, pursuant to its option under the indenture governing the 2029 Debentures, on April 18, 2014, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to the redemption date. In connection with the redemption, holders of the 2029 Debentures had the right to exchange their 2029 Debentures on or prior to April 16, 2014. The 2029 Debentures not surrendered pursuant to the repurchase offer on or prior to April 11, 2014, or for exchange on or prior to April 16, 2014, were redeemed on April 18, 2014.

In connection with the redemption, at the request of the holders that exercised their exchange right pursuant to the terms of the 2029 Debentures, we issued 6,734,938 restricted shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock in exchange for approximately $261.2 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Debentures based on the then-applicable exchange rate of 25.7880 shares per $1,000 principal amount of 2029 Debentures. On April 18, 2014, the Operating Partnership redeemed for cash approximately $5.2 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Debentures pursuant to its option under the indenture governing the 2029 Debentures at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon up to the redemption date.

On July 11, 2014, we issued 134,974 restricted shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock in exchange for approximately $5.2 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2029 Debentures to certain previous holders of the 2029 Debentures. The holders had the right to exchange the 2029 Debentures for shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock, but inadvertently failed to exercise such rights. As a result, the 2029 Debentures were redeemed by the Operating Partnership for cash. We agreed to issue the shares of the common stock to the holders in exchange for the redemption payment that they received in the original redemption, effectively putting such holders in the same place as if they had originally exercised their rights to exchange their 2029 Debentures for the shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock.

Senior Notes

4.750% Notes due 2023

On April 1, 2014, Digital Stout Holding, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Digital Realty Trust, L.P., issued £300.0 million (or approximately $498.9 million based on the April 1, 2014 exchange rate of £1.00 to $1.66) aggregate principal amount of its 4.750% Guaranteed Notes due 2023, or the 2023 Notes. The 2023 Notes are senior unsecured obligations of Digital Stout Holding, LLC and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. Interest on the 2023 Notes is payable semiannually in arrears at a rate of 4.750% per annum. The 2023 Notes mature on October 13, 2023. The net proceeds from the offering after deducting the original issue discount of approximately $3.0 million and underwriting commissions and estimated expenses of approximately $5.0 million was approximately $490.9 million. We used the net proceeds from this offering to temporarily repay borrowings under our global revolving credit facility. The 2023 Notes have been reflected net of discount in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The indenture governing the 2023 Notes contains certain covenants, including (1) a leverage ratio not to exceed 60%, (2) a secured debt leverage ratio not to exceed 40% and (3) an interest coverage ratio of greater than 1.50, and also requires us to maintain total unencumbered assets of not less than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of the unsecured debt. At June 30, 2014, we were in compliance with these financial covenants.

10. Income Taxes

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has elected to be treated and believes that it has been organized and has operated in a manner that has enabled it to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a REIT, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. is generally not subject to corporate level federal income taxes on earnings distributed currently to its stockholders. Since inception, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has distributed at least 100% of its taxable income annually and intends to do so for the tax year ending December 31, 2014. As such, no provision for federal income taxes has been included in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

The Operating Partnership is a partnership and is not required to pay federal income tax. Instead, taxable income is allocated to its partners, who include such amounts on their federal income tax returns. As such, no provision for federal income taxes has been included in the Operating Partnership’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

We have elected taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) status for some of our consolidated subsidiaries. In general, a TRS may provide services that would otherwise be considered impermissible for REITs to provide and may hold assets that REITs cannot hold directly. Income taxes for TRS entities were accrued, as necessary, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

For our TRS entities and foreign subsidiaries that are subject to U.S. federal, state and foreign income taxes, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if we believe it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset may not be realized, based on available evidence at the time the determination is made. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from the change in circumstances that causes a change in our judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset is included in income. Deferred tax assets (net of valuation allowance) and liabilities for our TRS entities and foreign subsidiaries were accrued, as necessary, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. As of June 30, 2014, we had deferred tax liabilities, net of deferred tax assets, of approximately $151.5 million primarily related to our foreign properties. The majority of our net deferred tax liability relates to differences between tax basis and book basis of the assets acquired in the Sentrum Portfolio acquisition during 2012.

11. Equity and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income, Net

(a) Equity Distribution Agreements

Digital Realty Trust, Inc. entered into equity distribution agreements in June 2011, which we refer to as the 2011 Equity Distribution Agreements, with each of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, or the Agents, under which it can issue and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $400.0 million from time to time through, at its discretion, any of the Agents as its sales agents. The sales of common stock made under the 2011 Equity Distribution Agreements will be made in “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act. To date, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has generated net proceeds of approximately $342.7 million from the issuance of approximately 5.7 million common shares under the 2011 Equity Distribution Agreements at an average price of $60.35 per share after payment of approximately $3.5 million of commissions to the sales agents and before offering expenses. No sales were made under the program during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. As of June 30, 2014, shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of $53.8 million remained available for offer and sale under the program.

(b) Redeemable Preferred Stock

7.375% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock

On March 26, 2014, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. issued 12,000,000 shares of its 7.375% series H cumulative redeemable preferred stock, or the series H preferred stock, for net proceeds of approximately $289.3 million. In addition, on April 7, 2014, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. issued an additional 600,000 shares of series H preferred stock pursuant to a partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option. Also, on April 7, 2014, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. re-opened and issued an additional 2,000,000 shares of series H preferred

stock. Pursuant to these issuances, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. issued a total of 14,600,000 shares of its series H preferred stock, for net proceeds of approximately $353.4 million. Dividends are cumulative on the series H preferred stock from the date of original issuance in the amount of $1.84375 per share each year, which is equivalent to 7.375% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share. Dividends on the series H preferred stock are payable quarterly in arrears. The first dividend payable on the series H preferred stock on June 30, 2014 was a pro rata dividend from and including the original issue date to and including June 30, 2014 in the amount of $0.48655 per share. The series H preferred stock does not have a stated maturity date and is not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption provisions. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the series H preferred stock will rank senior to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock and rank on parity with Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s series E cumulative redeemable preferred stock, series F cumulative redeemable preferred stock and series G cumulative redeemable preferred stock with respect to the payment of distributions and other amounts. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. is not allowed to redeem the series H preferred stock before March 26, 2019, except in limited circumstances to preserve its status as a REIT. On or after March 26, 2019, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. may, at its option, redeem the series H preferred stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on such series H preferred stock up to but excluding the redemption date. Holders of the series H preferred stock generally have no voting rights except for limited voting rights if Digital Realty Trust, Inc. fails to pay dividends for six or more quarterly periods (whether or not consecutive) and in certain other circumstances. Upon the occurrence of specified changes of control, as a result of which neither Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock nor the common securities of the acquiring or surviving entity (or American Depositary Receipts representing such securities) is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, LLC or the NASDAQ Stock Market or listed or quoted on a successor exchange or quotation system, each holder of series H preferred stock will have the right (unless, prior to the change of control conversion date specified in the Articles Supplementary governing the series H preferred stock, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. has provided or provides notice of its election to redeem the series H preferred stock) to convert some or all of the series H preferred stock held by it into a number of shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock per share of series H preferred stock to be converted equal to the lesser of:

•

the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the sum of the $25.00 liquidation preference plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the change of control conversion date (unless the change of control conversion date is after a record date for a series H preferred stock dividend payment and prior to the corresponding series H preferred stock dividend payment date, in which case no additional amount for such accrued and unpaid dividend will be included in this sum) by (ii) the common stock price specified in the Articles Supplementary governing the series H preferred stock; and

•

0.9632, or the share cap, subject to certain adjustments;

subject, in each case, to provisions for the receipt of alternative consideration as described in the Articles Supplementary governing the series H preferred stock. Except in connection with specified change of control transactions, the series H preferred stock is not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.

(c) Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership

Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership relate to the interests that are not owned by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. The following table shows the ownership interests in the Operating Partnership as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:


	June 30, 2014					December 31, 2013

		138,498,396		100.0	%		131,422,371		100.0	%

Limited partners have the right to require the Operating Partnership 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 Digital Realty Trust, Inc. 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. Pursuant to authoritative accounting guidance, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. evaluated whether it controls the actions or events necessary to issue the maximum number of shares that could be required to be delivered under the share settlement of the noncontrolling Operating Partnership common and incentive units. Based on the results of this analysis, we concluded that the common and incentive Operating Partnership units met the criteria to be classified within equity.

The redemption value of the noncontrolling Operating Partnership common units and the vested incentive units was approximately $164.1 million and $124.1 million based on the closing market price of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock on June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

The following table shows activity for the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership for the six months ended June 30, 2014:

Distributions in excess of a stockholder’s U.S. federal income 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. Capital and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

(a) Redeemable Preferred Units

7.375% Series H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units

On March 26, 2014 and April 7, 2014, the Operating Partnership issued in the aggregate a total of 14,600,000 of its 7.375% series H cumulative redeemable preferred units, or series H preferred units, to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (the General Partner) in conjunction with the General Partner’s issuance of an equivalent number of shares of its 7.375% series H cumulative redeemable preferred stock, or the series H preferred stock. Distributions are cumulative on the series H preferred units from the date of original issuance in the amount of $1.84375 per unit each year, which is equivalent to 7.375% of the $25.00 liquidation preference per unit. Distributions on the series H preferred units are payable quarterly in arrears. The first distribution payable on the series H preferred units on June 30, 2014 will be a pro rata distribution from and including the original issue date to and including June 30, 2014 in the amount of $0.48655 per unit. The series H preferred units do not have a stated maturity date and are not subject to any sinking fund. The Operating Partnership is required to redeem the series H preferred units in the event that the General Partner redeems the series H preferred stock. The General Partner is not allowed to redeem the series H preferred stock prior to March 26, 2019 except in limited circumstances to preserve the General Partner’s status as a REIT. On or after March 26, 2019, the General Partner may, at its option, redeem the series H preferred stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends on such series H preferred stock up to but excluding the redemption date. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the series H preferred units will rank senior to the Operating Partnership’s common units with respect to the payment of distributions and other amounts and rank on parity with the Operating Partnership’s series E cumulative redeemable preferred units, series F cumulative redeemable preferred units and series G cumulative redeemable preferred units. Except in connection with specified change of control transactions of the General Partner, the series H preferred units are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Operating Partnership.

(b) Allocations of Net Income and Net Losses to Partners

Except for special allocations to holders of profits interest units described below in note 13(a) under the heading “Incentive Plan-Long-Term Incentive Units,” the Operating Partnership’s net income will generally be allocated to the General Partner to the extent of the accrued preferred return on its preferred units, and then to the General Partner and the Operating Partnership’s limited partners in accordance with the respective percentage interests in the common units issued by the Operating Partnership. Net loss will generally be allocated to the General Partner and the Operating Partnership’s limited partners in accordance with the respective common percentage interests in the Operating Partnership until the limited partner’s capital is reduced to zero and any remaining net loss would be allocated to the General Partner. However, in some cases, losses may be disproportionately allocated to partners who have guaranteed our debt. The allocations described above are subject to special allocations relating to
