Iron Mountain's guidance towards the upper end of its full-year 2024 range indicates strong momentum and potential for further upside. However, investors should note the relatively low net income of
Overall, Iron Mountain's Q2 results reflect a company successfully capitalizing on digital transformation trends and data center demand, positioning it well for continued growth in the information management sector.
Iron Mountain's Q2 performance in the data center sector is particularly noteworthy. The company leased an impressive 66 megawatts in the second quarter, leading to an increased full-year projection of 130 megawatts. This substantial uptick in data center leasing activity signals robust demand for digital infrastructure and positions Iron Mountain as a significant player in the competitive data center market.
The increased leasing activity likely stems from several factors:
- Growing enterprise demand for hybrid and multi-cloud solutions
- Accelerated digital transformation initiatives across industries
- Increasing data storage and processing requirements driven by AI and big data analytics
Iron Mountain's success in this sector is particularly impressive given its historical focus on physical document storage. The company has effectively leveraged its reputation for security and information management to expand into digital services and data center operations.
The upward revision of the full-year leasing projection suggests that Iron Mountain anticipates continued strong demand throughout 2024. This could lead to further revenue growth and potentially higher margins as data center operations typically offer better scalability compared to traditional storage services.
However, investors should monitor the capital expenditure required to support this growth, as data center expansion can be capital-intensive. The impact on free cash flow and the company's ability to maintain its dividend growth strategy will be important metrics to watch in upcoming quarters.
Iron Mountain's Q2 results reflect broader trends in the information management and digital transformation sectors. The company's strong performance, particularly in data center leasing and service revenue growth, aligns with several key market dynamics:
- Accelerating cloud adoption and digital transformation initiatives across industries
- Increasing focus on data security and compliance, driving demand for secure information management services
- Growing need for hybrid solutions that bridge physical and digital information storage
The
The company's ability to achieve record revenue and Adjusted EBITDA in a challenging economic environment demonstrates the resilience and essential nature of its services. As organizations continue to grapple with data management challenges and regulatory requirements, Iron Mountain's comprehensive offerings position it well to capture market share.
The increased dividend and guidance towards the upper end of the full-year range suggest management's confidence in the company's market position and growth prospects. However, it's important to note that the information management sector is evolving rapidly, with potential disruptions from emerging technologies like AI and blockchain. Iron Mountain's ability to adapt and innovate will be important for maintaining its growth trajectory in the long term.
Investors should also consider the potential impact of macroeconomic factors, such as interest rates and global economic conditions, on enterprise IT spending and data center demand. While current trends are favorable, any significant economic downturn could affect growth rates in the sector.

Adjusted EBITDA
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization (inclusive of our share of Adjusted EBITDA from our unconsolidated joint ventures), and excluding certain items we do not believe to be indicative of our core operating results, specifically: (i) Acquisition and Integration Costs; (ii) Restructuring and other transformation; (iii) Loss (gain) on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net (including real estate); (iv) Other (income) expense, net; and (v) Stock-based compensation expense. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenues. We use multiples of current or projected Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with our discounted cash flow models to determine our estimated overall enterprise valuation and to evaluate acquisition targets. We believe Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provide our current and potential investors with relevant and useful information regarding our ability to generate cash flows to support business investment. These measures are an integral part of the internal reporting system we use to assess and evaluate the operating performance of our business.

We do not believe these excluded items to be indicative of our ongoing operating results, and they are not considered when we are forecasting our future results. We believe Adjusted EPS is of value to our current and potential investors when comparing our results from past, present and future periods. Figures may not foot due to rounding.

Funds From Operations, or FFO (Nareit), and FFO (Normalized)
Funds from operations ("FFO") is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income (loss) excluding depreciation on real estate assets, losses and gains on sale of real estate, net of tax, and amortization of data center leased-based intangibles (“FFO (Nareit)”). We calculate our FFO measure, including FFO (Nareit), adjusting for our share of reconciling items from our unconsolidated joint ventures. FFO (Nareit) does not give effect to real estate depreciation because these amounts are computed, under GAAP, to allocate the cost of a property over its useful life. Because values for well-maintained real estate assets have historically increased or decreased based upon prevailing market conditions, we believe that FFO (Nareit) provides investors with a clearer view of our operating performance. Our most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO (Nareit) is net income (loss).
We modify FFO (Nareit), as is common among REITs seeking to provide financial measures that most meaningfully reflect their particular business ("FFO (Normalized)"). Our definition of FFO (Normalized) excludes certain items included in FFO (Nareit) that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results, specifically: (i) Acquisition and Integration Costs; (ii) Restructuring and other transformation; (iii) Loss (gain) on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net (excluding real estate); (iv) Other (income) expense net; (v) Stock-based compensation expense; (vi) Non-cash amortization related to derivative instruments; (vii) Real estate financing lease depreciation; and (viii) Tax impact of reconciling items and discrete tax items.
FFO (Normalized) per share
FFO (Normalized) divided by weighted average fully-diluted shares outstanding.

(1) Includes customer and supplier relationship value, intake costs, acquisition of customer relationships, capitalized commissions and other intangibles. |
Adjusted Funds From Operations, or AFFO
We define adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) as FFO (Normalized) (1) excluding (i) Non-cash rent expense (income), (ii) Depreciation on non-real estate assets, (iii) Amortization expense associated with customer and supplier relationship value, intake costs, acquisitions of customer and supplier relationships, capitalized commissions and other intangibles, (iv) Amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount/premium, (v) Revenue reduction associated with amortization of customer inducements and above- and below-market data center leases and (vi) The impact of reconciling to normalized cash taxes and (2) including Recurring capital expenditures. We also adjust for these items to the extent attributable to our portion of unconsolidated ventures. We believe that AFFO, as a widely recognized measure of operations of REITs, is helpful to investors as a meaningful supplemental comparative performance measure to other REITs, including on a per share basis. AFFO should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, such as operating income, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP).
AFFO per share
AFFO divided by weighted average fully-diluted shares outstanding.
