Data Center Lessor Considerations


Our data center business features storage rental provided to customers at contractually specified rates over a fixed contractual period. Prior to January 1, 2019, our data center revenue contracts were accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 840, Leases ("ASC 840"). On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02, as described in more detail in Note 2.d. Beginning on January 1, 2019, our data center revenue contracts will beare accounted for in accordance with ASU 2016-02. ASU 2016-02 provides a practical expedient which allows lessors to account for nonlease components (such as power and connectivity, in the case of our data center business) with the related lease component if both the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for nonlease components and the lease component, and the lease component would be classified as an operating lease. The single combined component is accounted for under ASU 2016-02 if the lease component is the predominant component and is accounted for under ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) ("ASU 2014-09"), if the nonlease components are the predominant components. We have elected to take this practical expedient. Storage rental revenue associated with our data center business was $59,718approximately $62,000 and $182,300 for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, respectively, which includes approximately $9,100$12,000 and $31,000 of revenue associated with power and connectivity.connectivity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The revenue related to the service component of our data center business remains unchanged from the adoption of ASU 2016-02 and is recognized in the period the related services are provided. Our accounting treatment for data center revenue was not significantly impacted by the adoption of ASU 2016-02.


The future minimum lease payments we expect to receive under non-cancellable data center operating leases, for which we are the lessor, excluding month to month leases, for the next five years are as follows:
Year Future minimum lease payments
2019 (excluding the nine months ended September 30, 2019) $58,381
2020 177,528
2021 118,980
2022 83,677
2023 67,569

d. Leases

We lease facilities for certain warehouses, data centers and office space. We also have land leases, including those on which certain facilities are located. The majority of our leased facilities are classified as operating leases that, on average, have initial lease terms of five to 10 years, with one or more lease renewal options to extend the lease term. Our lease renewal option terms generally range from one to five years. The exercise of the lease renewal option is at our sole discretion and may contain fixed rent, fair market value based rent or Consumer Price Index rent escalation clauses. We include option periods in the lease term when our failure to renew the lease would result in an economic disincentive, thereby making it reasonably certain that we will renew the lease. We recognize straight line rental expense over the life of the lease and any fair market value or Consumer Price Index rent escalations are recognized as variable lease expense in the period in which the obligation is incurred. In addition, we lease certain vehicles and equipment. Vehicle and equipment leases have lease terms ranging from one to seven years.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases, both operating and financing (formerly referred to as capital leases under ASC 840). ASU 2016-02 requires certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

We adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis under which we recognized and measured leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the period of adoption. Therefore, we applied ASC 840 to all earlier comparative periods (prior to the adoption of ASU 2016-02), including disclosures, and recognized the effects of applying ASU 2016-02 as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings(Distributions in excess of earnings) Earnings in excess of distributions as of January 1, 2019, the effective date of the standard. As such, the comparative Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 has not been restated to reflect the adoption of ASU 2016-02. Accordingly, the majority of the amount presented as deferred rent liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 is now included in the calculation of operating lease right-of-use assets and any remaining amounts are now classified within other liability line items on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31,September 30, 2019. The transition guidance associated with ASU 2016-02 also permitted certain practical expedients. We elected the "package of 3" practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance which, among other things, allowed us to carryforward our historical lease classifications. We also adopted an accounting policy which provides that leases with an initial term of 12 months or less will not be included within the lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities recognized on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets after the adoption of ASU 2016-02. We will continue to recognize the lease payments for those leases with an initial term of 12 months or less in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The lease right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities are classified as either operating or financing. Lease right-of-use assets are calculated as the net present value of future payments plus any capitalized initial direct costs less any tenant improvements or lease incentives. Lease liabilities are calculated as the net present value of future payments. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, we will utilize the rate stated within the lease (in the limited circumstances when such rate is available) or, if no rate is explicitly stated, we have elected to utilize a rate that reflects our securitized incremental borrowing rate by geography for the lease term. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11, Leases - Targeted Improvements ("ASU 2018-11"). ASU 2018-11 provides a practical expedient which allows lessees to account for nonlease components (which include common area maintenance, taxes, and insurance) with the related lease component. Any variable nonlease components are not included within the lease right-of-use asset and lease liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and instead, are reflected as an expense in the period incurred. We have elected to take this practical expedient upon adoption of ASU 2016-02.

At January 1, 2019, we recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2016-02 as an adjustment to the opening balance of (distributions(Distributions in excess of earnings) earningsEarnings in excess of distributions, resulting in an increase of approximately $5,800 to stockholders' equity due to certain build to suit leases that were accounted for as financing leases under ASC 840, Leases,but are accounted for as operating leases under ASU 2016-02 at January 1, 2019.

For our Employee Stock-Based Awards made on or after February 20, 2019, we have included the following retirement provision: Upon an employee’s retirement on or after attaining age 58, if the sum of (i) the award recipient’s age at retirement and (ii) the award recipient’s years of service with the company totals at least 70, the award recipient is entitled to continued vesting of any outstanding Employee Stock-Based Awards which include the 2019 Retirement Criteria subsequent to their retirement, provided that, for awards granted in the year of retirement, their retirement occurs on or after July 1st1st (the “2019 Retirement Criteria”). Accordingly, (i) grants of Employee Stock-Based Awards to an employee who has met the 2019 Retirement Criteria on or before the date of grant, or will meet the Retirement Criteria before July 1st of the year of the grant, will be expensed between the date of grant and July 1st of the grant year and (ii) grants of Employee Stock-Based Awards to employees who will meet the 2019 Retirement Criteria during the award’s normal vesting period will be expensed between the date of grant and the date upon which the award recipient meets the 2019 Retirement Criteria. Stock options and RSUs granted to recipients who meet the 2019 Retirement Criteria will continue vesting on the original vesting schedule, and the stock options will remain exercisable up to three years after retirement, or the original expiration date of the stock options, if earlier. PUs granted to recipients who meet the 2019 Retirement Criteria will continue to vest and be delivered in accordance with the original vesting schedule of the applicable PU award and remain subject to the same performance conditions.
Stock-based compensation expense for Employee Stock-Based Awards for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018 was $8,519$7,120 ($7,935 after tax or $0.03 per basic and diluted share) and $7,384 ($6,8336,632 after tax or $0.02 per basic and diluted share) and $28,140 ($26,216 after tax or $0.09 per basic and diluted share), respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $7,279 ($6,734 after tax or $0.02 per basic and diluted share) and $23,352 ($21,599 after tax or $0.08 per basic and diluted share), respectively. The substantial majority of whichthe stock-based compensation expense for Employee Stock-Based Awards is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31,September 30, 2019, unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested portion of our Employee Stock-Based Awards was $72,353$50,152 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.21.9 years.

f.    Income (Loss) Per Share—Basic and Diluted
Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share is consistent with that of basic income (loss) per share, but gives effect to all potential common shares (that is, securities such as stock options, RSUs or PUs) that were outstanding during the period, unless the effect is antidilutive.
The calculation of basic and diluted income (loss) per share for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018 isare as follows:

g. Income Taxes
We provide for income taxes during interim periods based on our estimate of the effective tax rate for the year. Our estimate of the effective tax rates for the years ending December 31, 2019 and 2018 reflect the impact of the U.S. tax reform legislation, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Legislation”). See Note 7 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report for additional information regarding the impact the Tax Reform Legislation had on us. Discrete items and changes in our estimate of the annual effective tax rate are recorded in the period they occur. Our effective tax rate is subject to variability in the future due to, among other items: (1) changes in the mix of income between our qualified REIT subsidiaries ("QRSs") and our domestic taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), as well as among the jurisdictions in which we operate; (2) tax law changes; (3) volatility in foreign exchange gains and losses; (4) the timing of the establishment and reversal of tax reserves; and (5) our ability to utilize net operating losses that we generate.
Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018 isare as follows:
 Three Months Ended
March 31,
 2019(1) 2018(2)

(1)The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% and our overall effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and for the three months ended September 30, 2018 were the benefit derived from the dividends paid deduction and the impact of differences in the tax rates at which our foreign earnings are subject, including foreign exchange gains and losses in different jurisdictions with different tax rates.  
(2)The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% and our overall effective tax rate for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018 were the benefit derived from the dividends paid deduction, a discrete tax benefit of approximately $14,000 associated with the resolution of a tax matter and the impact of differences in the tax rates at which our foreign earnings are subject, including foreign exchange gains and losses in different jurisdictions with different tax rates.
h. Fair Value Measurements
Our financial assets or liabilities that are carried at fair value are required to be measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability's classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2—Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

(4)Derivative assets and liabilities relate to short-term (six months or less) foreign currency contracts that we have entered into to hedge certain of our foreign exchange intercompany exposures. We calculate the value of such forward contracts by adjusting the spotinclude (i) interest rate utilized at the balance sheet date for translation purposes by an estimate of the forward points observed in active markets. As of March 31, 2019, we had outstanding forward contracts to (i) purchase 4,000 Euros and sell $4,610 United States dollars and (ii) purchase $4,515 United States dollars and sell 4,000 Euros. As of December 31, 2018, we had outstanding forward contracts to purchase 29,000 Euros and sell $33,374 United States dollars. We have not designated any of the forward contracts we have entered into as hedges.

Under the interest rate swap agreements, we receive variable rate interest payments associated with the notional amount of each interest rate swap, based upon one-month LIBOR, inour foreign exchange for the payment of fixed interest rate payments (at the fixed rate interest specified in the interest rate swap agreements). We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. Unrealized gainsintercompany exposures. Our derivative financial instruments are recognized as assets while unrealized losses are recognized as liabilities. The fair value of the interest rate swaps are estimatedmeasured using industry standard valuation models using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves.curves, forward and spot prices for currencies and implied volatilities. Credit risk is also factored into the determination of the fair value of our derivative financial instruments. See Note 3 for additional information on our derivative financial instruments.

During the second quarter of 2019, we began exploring strategic options regarding how to maintain and support the infrastructure of select offerings within our Iron Mountain Iron Cloud (“Iron Cloud”) portfolio. As a result, during the second quarter of 2019, we performed a long-lived asset impairment analysis on the assets associated with these select offerings and concluded that the associated carrying value of the long-lived assets (which consisted entirely of property, plant and equipment) was not recoverable based upon the underlying cash flows associated with these select offerings. On September 30, 2019, we entered into an agreement (the “Iron Cloud Outsourcing Agreement”) with a wholesale provider of data infrastructure and data management services to outsource the operation, infrastructure management and maintenance and delivery of select offerings within our Iron Cloud portfolio. In conjunction with the entry into the Iron Cloud Outsourcing Agreement, we also sold certain IT infrastructure assets and the rights to certain hardware and software maintenance contracts used to deliver these Iron Cloud offerings. As a result of our long-lived asset impairment analysis and sale of certain IT infrastructure assets and rights to certain hardware and software maintenance contracts, we recognized an impairment charge and a loss on sale of the assets totaling approximately $800 and $24,800 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.

The gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 consisted primarily of gains associated with (i) a sale-leaseback transaction of 5 facilities in the United States of approximately $9,800 during the third quarter of 2019 and (ii) the sale of certain land and buildings in the United Kingdom of approximately $36,000 during the second quarter of 2019. These gains were partially offset by losses primarily associated with (i) the impairment charge on the assets associated with the select offerings within our Iron Cloud portfolio, as described above, and (ii) the write-down of certain property, plant and equipment in our North American Records and Information Management Business of approximately $3,100.

l.    New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other-Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) ("ASU 2018-15"). ASU 2018-15 aligns the accounting for costs incurred to implement a cloud computing arrangement that is a service arrangement with the guidance on capitalizing costs associated with developing or obtaining internal-use software. We adopted ASU 2018-15 on January 1, 2019. ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02. We adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 on a modified retrospective basis. See Note 2.d. for information regarding the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on our consolidated financial statements.

l. Changem. Correction in Presentation


Subsequent to our conversion to a REIT, we have historically classified gains on sale of real estate, net of tax, as a separate line on our consolidated statements of operations and excluded such amounts from our reported operating income. We presented such amounts net of tax as these gains were presented below the provision (benefit) for income taxes on our consolidated statements of operations. Commencing with the first quarter of 2019, we willnow present gains on sale of real estate as a component of operating income in the line item (Gain) loss (gain) on disposal/write downwrite-down of property, plant and equipment, net. See Note 2.j. for details of the (gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. Such amounts will beare presented gross of tax with any tax impact presented within provisionProvision (benefit) for income taxes. All prior periods will be conformed to this presentation going forward. Nopresentation. During the third quarter of 2018, we recognized approximately $1,300 of gains on the sale of real estate, net of tax. During the fourth quarter of 2018, we recognized approximately $54,000 of gains on sale of real estate, net of tax.

n. Immaterial Restatement

In June 2019, we received a notification of assessment from tax and customs authorities in the Netherlands related to a value-added tax (“VAT”) liability of approximately 16,800 Euros primarily related to the years ending December 31, 2018 and 2017. We have established a reserve for this matter based upon our estimate of the amount of loss that is both probable and estimable, inclusive of interest and penalties. See Note 8 for additional information on this matter.
This matter relates to periods prior to January 1, 2019, resulting in (i) an understatement of our prior years' reported selling, general and administrative expense and interest expense and (ii) an overstatement of our prior years’ reported provision for income taxes for the related tax impact. Based on our estimate of the amount of loss related to this matter that is both probable and estimable, we believe selling, general and administrative expenses and interest expense were recognized duringunderstated by approximately $11,000 and $400, respectively, and the provision for income taxes was overstated by approximately $2,000 for the year ended December 31, 2018, which, in the aggregate, would reduce net income from continuing operations by approximately $9,400 for the year ended December 31, 2018. Based on our estimate of the amount of loss related to this matter that is both probable and estimable, we believe the selling, general and administrative expenses and interest expense were understated by approximately $16,600 and $100, respectively, and the provision for income taxes was overstated by approximately $3,000 for the year ended December 31, 2017, which, in the aggregate, would reduce net income from continuing operations by approximately $13,700 for the year ended December 31, 2017. We have determined that no prior period financial statement was materially misstated as a result of the previously unrecorded reserves related to this matter. As a result, we have restated ending (Distributions in excess of earnings) Earnings in excess of distributions as of December 31, 2018 in the amount of approximately $23,100 for the cumulative impact of the aforementioned items. There was no material impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended MarchSeptember 30, 2019, as a result of this matter.

(3) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Derivative instruments we entered into include: (i) interest rate swap agreements (which are designated as cash flow hedges), (ii) cross-currency swap agreements (which are designated as net investment hedges) and (iii) foreign exchange currency forward contracts (which are not designated as hedges).
Interest Rate Swap Agreements Designated as Cash Flow Hedges
In March 2018, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $350,000 in notional value of interest rate swap agreements outstanding, which expire in March 2022. Under the interest rate swap agreements, we receive variable rate interest payments associated with the notional amount of each interest rate swap, based upon one-month LIBOR, in exchange for the payment of fixed interest rate payments (at the fixed interest rate specified in the interest rate swap agreements).
In July 2019, we entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness once our current interest rate swap agreements expire in March 2022. The forward-starting interest rate swap agreements have $350,000 in notional value, commence in March 2022 and expire in March 2024. Under the swap agreements we will receive variable rate interest payments based upon one-month LIBOR, in exchange for the payment of fixed interest rate payments at the rates specified in the interest rate swap agreements.

We have designated these interest rate swap agreements, including the forward-starting interest rate swap agreements, as cash flow hedges. Unrealized gains are recognized as assets while unrealized losses are recognized as liabilities. At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had a derivative liability of $12,046 and $973, respectively, which was recorded as a component of Other long-term liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have recorded the change in fair value of the interest rate swap agreements as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. We have recorded unrealized losses of $3,468 and $11,073 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. We have recorded unrealized gains of $1,980 and $4,183 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively. As of September 30, 2019, cumulative net losses of $12,046 are recorded within accumulated other comprehensive items, net associated with these cash flow hedges.

Net Investment Hedges

a. Cross-Currency Swap Agreements Designated as a Hedge of Net Investment

In August 2019, we entered into cross-currency swap agreements to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the United States dollar and the Euro. Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreements we notionally exchanged approximately $110,000 at an interest rate of 6.0% for approximately 99,055 Euros at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.65%. The cross-currency swap agreements, which expire in August 2023, are designated as a hedge of net investment against certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries and require an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity. The cross-currency swaps are marked to market at each reporting period and any changes in fair value are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Unrealized gains are recognized as assets while unrecognized losses are recognized as liabilities. At September 30, 2019, we had a derivative asset of $1,972, which was recorded as a component of Other within Other assets, net in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, which represents the fair value of the cross-currency swap agreements. We have recorded unrealized gains of $1,972 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

b. Euro Notes Designated as a Hedge of Net Investment
In addition, we have designated a portion of our Euro Notes as a hedge of net investment of certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we designated, on average, 279,821 Euros of our Euro Notes as a hedge of net investment of certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we designated, on average, 209,276 Euros of our Euro Notes as a hedge of net investment of certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries. As a result, we recorded foreign exchange gains (losses) of $13,101 and $14,962 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $2,139 and $6,761 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, related to the change in fair value of such debt due to currency translation adjustments, which is a component of accumulated other comprehensive items, net. As of September 30, 2019, cumulative net gains of $29,220, net of tax, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive items, net associated with this net investment hedge.

Foreign Exchange Currency Forward Contracts Not Designated as Hedges
We have entered into forward contracts to hedge our exposures associated with certain foreign currencies. We have not designated any of these forward contracts as hedges. Our policy is to record the fair value of each derivative instrument on a gross basis. As of September 30, 2019, we had 0 outstanding forward contracts. As of December 31, 2018, we had outstanding forward contracts to purchase 29,000 Euros and sell $33,374 United States dollars. At December 31, 2018, we had a derivative asset of $93 which was recorded as a component of Prepaid expenses and other in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We recorded losses for our derivative instruments not recognized as hedging instruments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 of $0 and $737, respectively. We recorded losses for our derivative instruments not recognized as hedging instruments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 of $616 and $4,172, respectively. The gains and losses for our derivative instruments not recognized as derivative instruments are included as a component of foreign currency transaction (gains) losses, net within Other (income) expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

(3)(4) Acquisitions (Continued)


See Note 6 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report for additional information regarding our allocations of the purchase price for acquisitions. The preliminary purchase price allocations that are not finalized as of March 31,September 30, 2019 primarily relate to the final assessment of the fair values of intangible assets and liabilities (primarily customer relationship intangible assets and data center lease-based intangible assets), property, plant and equipment (primarily building, building improvements data center infrastructure and racking structures), right-of-use assets and liabilities associated with acquired operating leases, contingencies and income taxes (primarily deferred income taxes), primarily associated with the EvoSwitch Transaction (as defined in Note 6 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report), as well as other acquisitions we closed in 2019.
 
As the valuation of certain assets and liabilities for purposes of purchase price allocations are preliminary in nature, they are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances regarding these assets and liabilities that existed at the acquisition date. Any adjustments to our estimates of purchase price allocation will be made in the periods in which the adjustments are determined and the cumulative effect of such adjustments will be calculated as if the adjustments had been completed as of the acquisition dates. Adjustments recorded during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 were not material to our results from operations.


Acquisition of IO Data Centers in 2018


On January 10, 2018, we completed the IODC Transaction. At the closing of the IODC Transaction, we paid approximately $1,347,000. In February 2019, we paid approximately $31,000 in additional purchase price associated with the execution of customer contracts from the closing through the one-year anniversary of the IODC Transaction, which was accrued at December 31, 2018. This amount, net of amortization, is reported as a third-party commissions asset as a component of Other within Other assets, net, in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.


The unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information (the "Pro Forma Financial Information") below summarizes the combined results of us and IODC on a pro forma basis as if the IODC Transaction had occurred on January 1, 2017. The Pro Forma Financial Information is presented for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2017. The Pro Forma Financial Information, for the period presented, includes purchase accounting adjustments (including amortization expenses from acquired intangible assets and depreciation of acquired property, plant and equipment). We and IODC collectively incurred $28,064 of operating expenditures to complete the IODC Transaction (including advisory and professional fees). These operating expenditures have been reflected within the results of operations in the Pro Forma Financial Information as if they were incurred on January 1, 2017.

Issuance of the 47/8% Senior Notes due 2029
In September 2019, IMI completed a private offering of $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the 47/8% Notes due 2029. The 47/8% Notes due 2029 were issued at par. The net proceeds of approximately $987,500 from the 47/8% Notes due 2029, after deducting the initial purchasers' commissions, were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Cash Pooling
As described in greater detail in Note 4 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report, certain of our subsidiaries participate in cash pooling arrangements (the “Cash Pools”) in order to help manage global liquidity requirements. We currently utilize two2 separate cash pools, one1 of which we utilize to manage global liquidity requirements for our QRSs (the "QRS Cash Pool") and the other for our TRSs (the "TRS Cash Pool").

Letters of Credit
As of September 30, 2019, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $35,241, of which $16,843 reduce our borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility (as described above). The letters of credit expire at various dates between December 2019 and August 2027.
Debt Covenants
The Credit Agreement, our indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness contain certain restrictive financial and operating covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to complete acquisitions, pay cash dividends, incur indebtedness, make investments, sell assets and take certain other corporate actions. The covenants do not contain a rating trigger. Therefore, a change in our debt rating would not trigger a default under the Credit Agreement, our indentures or other agreements governing our indebtedness. The Credit Agreement uses EBITDAR-based calculations as the primary measures of financial performance, including leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios.

Our leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios under the Credit Agreement as of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, as well as our leverage ratio under our indentures as of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:

(1)
The maximum allowable leverage ratio under our indentures for the 47/8% Notes due 2029, the 47/8% Notes due 2027, the GBP Notes and the 51/4% Notes is 7.0, while the maximum allowable leverage ratio under the indentures pertaining to our remaining senior and senior subordinated notes is 6.5. In certain instances as provided in our indentures, we have the ability to incur additional indebtedness that would result in our bond leverage ratio exceeding the maximum allowable ratio under our indentures and still remain in compliance with the covenant.
Noncompliance with these leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity.

(5)(6) Selected Consolidated Financial Statements of Parent, Guarantors and Non-Guarantors

The following data summarizes the consolidating results of IMI on the equity method of accounting as of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018 and are prepared on the same basis as the consolidated financial statements.
The Parent Notes, the CAD Notes, the GBP Notes, and the 53/8% Notes are guaranteed by the subsidiaries referred to below as the Guarantors. These subsidiaries are 100% owned by IMI. The guarantees are full and unconditional, as well as joint and several.
Additionally, IMI guarantees the CAD Notes, which were issued by Iron Mountain Canada Operations ULC ("Canada Company"), the GBP Notes, which were issued by Iron Mountain (UK) PLC ("IM UK"), and the 53/8% Notes, which were issued by Iron Mountain US Holdings, Inc., which is one of the Guarantors. Canada Company and IM UK do not guarantee the Parent Notes. The subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Parent Notes, the CAD Notes, the GBP Notes, and the 53/8% Notes are referred to below as the Non-Guarantors.
In the normal course of business, we periodically change the ownership structure of our subsidiaries to meet the requirements of our business. In the event of such changes, we recast the prior period financial information within this footnote to conform to the current period presentation in the period such changes occur. Generally, these changes do not alter the designation of the underlying subsidiaries as Guarantors or Non-Guarantors. However, they may change whether the underlying subsidiary is owned by the Parent, a Guarantor or a Non-Guarantor. If such a change occurs, the amount of investment in subsidiaries in the below Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and equity in the earnings (losses) of subsidiaries, net of tax in the below Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) with respect to the relevant Parent, Guarantors, Non-Guarantors and Eliminations columns also would change.

(6)(7) Segment Information (Continued)


The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as those described in Note 2 and in Note 2 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report. Adjusted EBITDA for each segment is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and also excludes certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results, specifically: (i) (gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net (including real estate); (ii) intangible impairments; (iii) other (income) expense, (income), net (which includes foreign currency transaction (gains) losses, net); and (iv) Significant Acquisition Costs (as defined below). Internally, we use Adjusted EBITDA as the basis for evaluating the performance of, and allocating resources to, our operating segments.
A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations on a consolidated basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:

(7)(8) Commitments and Contingencies


We are involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business. A portion of the defense and/or settlement costs associated with such litigation is covered by various commercial liability insurance policies purchased by us and, in limited cases, indemnification from third parties. Our policy is to establish reserves for loss contingencies when the losses are both probable and reasonably able to be estimated. We record legal costs associated with loss contingencies as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. There have been no material updates or changes to the matters disclosed in Note 10 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report, nor have there been any new material loss contingencies since December 31, 2018.Report. We believe that the resolution of the matters disclosed in Note 10 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

We have estimated a reasonably possible range for all loss contingencies, including those disclosed in Note 10 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report and the item below, and believe it is reasonably possible that we could incur aggregate losses in addition to amounts currently accrued for all matters up to an additional $17,500$17,000 over the next several years, of which certain amounts would be covered by insurance or indemnity arrangements.

In June 2019, we received a notification of assessment from tax and customs authorities in the Netherlands related to a VAT liability of approximately 16,800 Euros. The notification of assessment is related to our customs clearing and logistics business in the Netherlands, which we acquired through the acquisition of Bonded Services of America, Inc. and Bonded Services Acquisition, Ltd. (collectively, “Bonded”) in September 2017. As part of the import and declaration services we provide in the Netherlands, we file import declaration forms to the customs authorities for all goods imported in a particular month and calculate the amount of VAT that is due on the goods being imported. In certain instances, we remit import VAT to the Dutch tax authorities and subsequently are reimbursed by the entity the goods are being imported on behalf of. In other instances, however, the payment of VAT may be deferred and paid upon the sale of the goods to the ultimate end customer in cases where the entity receiving the goods holds a valid license allowing for the deferment of VAT (referred to as an Article 23 license). In the notification of assessment, the Dutch tax authorities have asserted that (i) we inappropriately deferred VAT for goods imported under Article 23 for certain of our customers between March 2017 and August 2018 and (ii) we are liable for the amount of VAT related to those goods for which VAT was inappropriately deferred. We have responded to the notification of assessment and have requested additional information regarding the matter from the Dutch tax authorities.

We believe that the assessed amount will be subject to interest and potential penalties. We have established a reserve for this matter based upon our estimate of the amount of loss that is both probable and estimable. We are in the process of exploring potential recoveries (including insurance recoveries and/or claims against other third parties) against any losses we incur associated with this matter.
(8)(9) Stockholders' Equity Matters
Our board of directors has adopted a dividend policy under which we have paid, and in the future intend to pay, quarterly cash dividends on our common stock. The amount and timing of future dividends will continue to be subject to the approval of our board of directors, in its sole discretion, and to applicable legal requirements.
In fiscal year 2018 and the first threenine months of 2019, our board of directors declared the following dividends:

There were no0 shares of common stock sold under the At The Market (ATM) Equity Program during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019. As of March 31,September 30, 2019, the remaining aggregate sale price of shares of our common stock available for distribution under the At The Market (ATM) Equity Program was approximately $431,200.

On March 19, 2019, we contributed our customer contracts and certain intellectual property and other assets used by us to operate our consumer storage business in the United States and Canada (the "IM Consumer Storage Assets") and approximately $20,000 in cash (gross of certain transaction expenses) (the "Cash Contribution") to a joint venture entity, Makespace LLC (the "Makespace JV"), established by us and Makespace Labs, Inc.

(13) Subsequent Events


In October 2019, we announced a global program designed to better position us for future growth and achievement of our strategic objectives (“Project Summit”). Project Summit will focus on simplifying our global structure by combining our core records and information management operations under one global leader and rebalancing our resources, streamlining managerial structures and leveraging our global and regional customer facing resources. The activities associated with Project Summit will begin in the fourth quarter of 2019 and are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2021. We expect the total program benefits associated with Project Summit to be fully realized by the end of 2022. We estimate that the implementation of Project Summit will result in total restructuring charges (including operating and capital expenditures) of approximately $240,000. We expect to incur restructuring charges associated with Project Summit of approximately $60,000 during the fourth quarter of 2019, substantially all of which will consist of employee severance costs and professional fees that will be settled in cash during the fourth quarter of 2019 and 2020.

As a result of the realignment of our global managerial structure and changes to our internal financial reporting associated with Project Summit, during the fourth quarter of 2019, we reassessed the composition of our reportable operating segments. Subsequent to the implementation of the planned managerial structure changes associated with Project Summit, we expect to have three reportable operating segments: (i) Global Records and Information Management Business (which will consist of our existing North American Records and Information Management Business, North American Data Management Business, Western European Business and Other International Business operating segments); (ii) Global Data Center Business; and (iii) Corporate and Other Business (which includes our Adjacent Businesses operating segment). We also are in the process of reassessing the composition of our reporting units, at which level we assess goodwill for impairment.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, included herein, and our Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 14, 2019 (our "Annual Report").
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
We have made statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Report") that constitute "forward-looking statements" as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. These forward-looking statements concern our operations, economic performance, financial condition, goals, beliefs, future growth strategies, investment objectives, plans and current expectations, such as our (1) commitment to future dividend payments, (2) expected growth of records stored with us from existing customers, (3) expected 2019 consolidated organic storage rental revenue growth rate, consolidated organic total revenue growth rate and capital expenditures, (4) expectation that profits will increase in our emerging markets, (5) expectation that our growth portfolio will become a large part of our business over time, (6) statements made in relation (i) to our acquisition of Recall Holdings Limited ("Recall") pursuant to the Scheme Implementation Deed, as amended, with Recall (the "Recall Transaction") and (ii) our acquisition of IO Data Centers, LLC ("IODC"), including the total acquisition expenditures related to Recall and IODC and the cost to integrate Recall into our existing operations, (7) statements regarding our expectation to reduce our leverage ratio, and (8) our(7) ability to close pending acquisitions.acquisitions and (8) expected benefits, costs and actions related to Project Summit (as defined and discussed below). These forward-looking statements are subject to various known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors. When we use words such as "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates" or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our expected results may not be achieved, and actual results may differ materially from our expectations. In addition, important factors that could cause actual results to differ from expectations include, among others:
our ability to remain qualified for taxation as a real estate investment trust for United States federal income tax purposes ("REIT");
the adoption of alternative technologies and shifts by our customers to storage of data through non-paper based technologies;
changes in customer preferences and demand for our storage and information management services;
the cost to comply with current and future laws, regulations and customer demands relating to data security and privacy issues, as well as fire and safety standards;
the impact of litigation or disputes that may arise in connection with incidents in which we fail to protect our customers' information or our internal records or information technology ("IT") systems and the impact of such incidents on our reputation and ability to compete;
changes in the price for our storage and information management services relative to the cost of providing such storage and information management services;
changes in the political and economic environments in the countries in which our international subsidiaries operate and changes in the global political climate;
our ability or inability to manage growth, expand internationally, complete acquisitions on satisfactory terms, to close pending acquisitions and to integrate acquired companies efficiently;
changes in the amount of our growth and maintenancerecurring capital expenditures and our ability to invest according to plan;
our ability to comply with our existing debt obligations and restrictions in our debt instruments or to obtain additional financing to meet our working capital needs;
the impact of service interruptions or equipment damage and the cost of power on our data center operations;
changes in the cost of our debt;
the impact of alternative, more attractive investments on dividends;
the cost or potential liabilities associated with real estate necessary for our business;
the performance of business partners upon whom we depend for technical assistance or management expertise outside the United States;expertise;
our ability to execute on Project Summit and potential impacts of Project Summit on our ability to retain and recruit employees and execute on our strategy; and
other trends in competitive or economic conditions affecting our financial condition or results of operations not presently contemplated.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements except as statements of our present intentions and of our present expectations, which may or may not occur. You should read these cautionary statements as being applicable to all forward-looking statements wherever they appear. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to release publicly the result of any revision to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. Readers are also urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures we have made in this Quarterly Report, as well as our other periodic reports filed with the SEC including under "Risk Factors" in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual Report.
Overview
The following discussions set forth, for the periods indicated, management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations. Significant trends and changes are discussed for the three month periodand nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 within each section.
Project Summit
In October 2019, we announced a global program designed to better position us for future growth and achievement of our strategic objectives (“Project Summit”). Project Summit will focus on simplifying our global structure by combining our core records and information management operations under one global leader and rebalancing our resources, streamlining managerial structures and leveraging our global and regional customer facing resources. We also plan to implement systems and process changes designed to make our organization more agile and dynamic, streamline our organization and reallocate our resources to better align with our strategic goals as part of Project Summit. As a result of the program, we expect to reduce the number of vice president level and above positions by approximately 45%. The total program is expected to reduce our total managerial and administrative workforce by approximately 700 positions over the next two years.
The activities associated with Project Summit will begin in the fourth quarter of 2019 and are expected to be substantially complete by the end of 2021. We expect the total program benefits associated with Project Summit to be fully realized by the end of 2022. We estimate that Project Summit will improve Adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) by approximately $200.0 million by the end of 2022 as program benefits are realized. We expect Project Summit to improve Adjusted EBITDA by approximately $80.0 million in 2020, of which we expect to realize approximately $50.0 million of Adjusted EBITDA improvement as a result of the actions initiated during the fourth quarter of 2019. We will continue to evaluate our overall operating model, as well as various opportunities and initiatives, including those associated with real estate consolidation, system implementation and process changes, which could result in the identification and implementation of additional actions associated with Project Summit and incremental costs and benefits.
We estimate that the implementation of Project Summit will result in total restructuring charges (including operating and capital expenditures) of approximately $240.0 million, including approximately $60.0 million of restructuring charges we expect to incur during the fourth quarter of 2019. We expect to substantially complete all actions associated with Project Summit by the end of 2021. We expect substantially all of the restructuring charges associated with Project Summit that we will incur in the fourth quarter of 2019, substantially all of which will consist of employee severance costs and professional fees, will be settled in cash during the fourth quarter of 2019 and 2020. In addition, we expect a significant portion of the remaining restructuring charges we will incur as a result of Project Summit will be settled in cash, primarily as a result of employee severance, professional fees, program management and implementation of various technology systems and hardware.
As a result of realignment of our global managerial structure and changes to our internal financial reporting associated with Project Summit, during the fourth quarter of 2019, we reassessed the composition of our reportable operating segments. Subsequent to the implementation of the planned managerial structure changes associated with Project Summit, we expect to have three reportable operating segments: (i) Global Records and Information Management Business (which will consist of our existing North American Records and Information Management Business, North American Data Management Business, Western European Business and Other International Business operating segments); (ii) Global Data Center Business; and (iii) Corporate and Other Business (which includes our Adjacent Businesses operating segment). We also are in the process of reassessing the composition of our reporting units, at which level we assess goodwill for impairment.
IODC Acquisition
On January 10, 2018, we completed the acquisition of the United States operations of IODC (the "IODC Transaction"). At the closing of the IODC Transaction, we paid approximately $1,347.0 million. In February 2019, we paid approximately $31.0 million in additional purchase price associated with the execution of customer contracts from the closing through the one-year anniversary of the IODC Transaction. See Note 6 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report for additional information.

Divestments
a. Consumer Storage Transaction
On March 19, 2019, we contributed our customer contracts and certain intellectual property and other assets used by us to operate our consumer storage business in the United States and Canada (the "IM Consumer Storage Assets") and approximately$20.0approximately $20.0 million in cash (gross of certain transaction expenses) (the "Cash Contribution") to a joint venture entity, Makespace LLC (the "Makespace JV"), established by us and Makespace Labs, Inc. ("Makespace"), a consumer storage services provider (the "Consumer Storage Transaction"). AtUpon the closing date of the Consumer Storage Transaction on March 19, 2019, the Makespace JV owned (i) the IM Consumer Storage Assets, (ii) the Cash Contribution and (iii) the customer contracts, intellectual property and certain other assets used by Makespace to operate its consumer storage business in the United States. As part of the Consumer Storage Transaction, we received an equity interest of approximately 34% in the Makespace JV (the "Makespace Investment").
As described in Note 910 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report, the divestment of the IM Consumer Storage Assets in the Consumer Storage Transaction does not meet the criteria to be reported as a discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements. In connection with the Consumer Storage Transaction and the Makespace Investment, we also entered into a storage and service agreement with the Makespace JV to provide certain storage and related services to the Makespace JV (the "Makespace Agreement"). Revenues and expenses associated with the Makespace Agreement are presented as a component of our North American Records and Information Management Business segment. ForWe recognized approximately $7.3 million and $15.2 million of revenue, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 we recognized an immaterial amount of revenue associated with the Makespace Agreement.

As a result of the Consumer Storage Transaction, we recorded a gain on sale of approximately $4.2 million to Other (income) expense, (income), net, in the first quarter of 2019, representing the excess of the fair value of the consideration received over the sum of (i) carrying value of our consumer storage operations and (ii) the Cash Contribution.

b. IMFS Divestment
On September 28, 2018, Iron Mountain Fulfillment Services, Inc., a consolidated subsidiarywe sold substantially all of Iron Mountain Incorporated ("IMI") that operatedthe assets associated with our fulfillment services business in the United States sold substantially all of its assets for total consideration of approximately $3.0 million (the "IMFS Divestment"). As described in Note 13 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report, we have concluded that the IMFS Divestment does not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements, as our decision to divest this business does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. Our fulfillment services business represented approximately $7.4$6.1 million and $1.2$20.2 million of total revenues and approximately $(0.4) million and $0.8 million of (loss) income from continuing operations respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018.



September 30, 2018, respectively.
Significant Acquisition Costs
We currently estimate total acquisition and integration expenditures associated with theour acquisition of Recall TransactionHoldings Limited ("Recall") (the "Recall Transaction") and acquisition expenditures associated with the IODC Transaction to be approximately $405.0 million, the substantial majority of which was incurred prior to the end of 2018. From January 1, 2015 through March 31,September 30, 2019, we have incurred cumulative operating and capital expenditures associated with the Recall Transaction and the IODC Transaction of $392.0$398.9 million, including $317.3$323.1 million of Significant Acquisition Costs (as defined in Note 911 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report) and $74.7$75.8 million of capital expenditures. We expect the remaining amount of these operating and capital expenditures will be primarily related to moving costs associated with facility consolidation and system upgrade costs.
Immaterial Restatement
In June 2019, we received a notification of assessment from tax and customs authorities in the Netherlands related to a value-added tax (“VAT”) liability which relates to periods prior to January 1, 2019. We have established a reserve for this matter based upon our estimate of the amount of loss that is both probable and estimable, and have reflected this reserve through an immaterial restatement of our consolidated financial statements. As a result, certain line items in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 have been restated to reflect the immaterial restatement. See Note 2.n. to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding the effect of the immaterial restatement on certain line items in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

General
Our revenues consist of storage rental revenues as well as service revenues and are reflected net of sales and value added taxes. Storage rental revenues, which are considered a key driver of financial performance for the storage and information management services industry, consist primarily of recurring periodic rental charges related to the storage of materials or data (generally on a per unit basis) that are typically retained by customers for many years, technology escrow services that protect and manage source code data backup and storage on our proprietary cloud and revenues associated with our data center operations. Service revenues include charges for related service activities, the most significant of which include: (1) the handling of records, including the addition of new records, temporary removal of records from storage, refiling of removed records and courier operations, consisting primarily of the pickup and delivery of records upon customer request; (2) destruction services, consisting primarily of secure shredding of sensitive documents and the related sale of recycled paper, the price of which can fluctuate from period to period, and customer termination and permanent removal fees; (3) other services, including the scanning, imaging and document conversion services of active and inactive records and project revenues; and (4) consulting services; and (5) cloud-related data protection, preservation, restoration and recovery.services. Our service revenue growth has been negatively impacted by declining activity rates as stored records are becoming less active. While customers continue to store their records and tapes with us, they are less likely than they have been in the past to retrieve records for research and other purposes, thereby reducing service activity levels.


Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) consists primarily of wages and benefits for field personnel, facility occupancy costs (including rent and utilities), transportation expenses (including vehicle leases and fuel), other product cost of sales and other equipment costs and supplies. Of these, wages and benefits and facility occupancy costs are the most significant. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of wages and benefits for management, administrative, information technology,IT, sales, account management and marketing personnel, as well as expenses related to communications and data processing, travel, professional fees, bad debts, training, office equipment and supplies.


The expansion of our international businesses has impacted the major cost of sales components and selling, general and administrative expenses. Our international operations are more labor intensive relative to revenue than our operations in North America and, therefore, labor costs are a higher percentage of international segment revenue. In addition, the overhead structure of our expanding international operations has generally not achieved the same level of overhead leverage as our North American segments, which may result in an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of consolidated revenue as our international operations become a larger percentage of our consolidated results.


Our consolidated revenues and expenses are subject to the net effect of foreign currency translation related to our operations outside the United States. It is difficult to predict the future fluctuations of foreign currency exchange rates and how those fluctuations will impact our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As a result of the relative size of our international operations, these fluctuations may be material on individual balances. Our revenues and expenses from our international operations are generally denominated in the local currency of the country in which they are derived or incurred. Therefore, the impact of currency fluctuations on our operating income and operating margin is partially mitigated. In order to provide a framework for assessing how our underlying businesses performed excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, we compare the percentage change in the results from one period to another period in this report using constant currency presentation. The constant currency growth rates are calculated by translating the 2018 results at the 2019 average exchange rates. Constant currency growth rates are a non-GAAP measure.

Non-GAAP Measures
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income (loss) from continuing operations before interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and also excludes certain items that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results, specifically: (1) (gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net (including real estate), net;; (2) intangible impairments; (3) other (income) expense, (income), net (which includes foreign currency transaction (gains) losses, net); and (4) Significant Acquisition Costs. 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 flow 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.


Adjusted EBITDA excludes both interest expense, net and the provision (benefit) for income taxes. These expenses are associated with our capitalization and tax structures, which we do not consider when evaluating the operating profitability of our core operations. Finally, Adjusted EBITDA does not include depreciation and amortization expenses, in order to eliminate the impact of capital investments, which we evaluate by comparing capital expenditures to incremental revenue generated and as a percentage of total revenues. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), such as operating income, income (loss) from continuing operations, net income (loss) or cash flows from operating activities from continuing operations (as determined in accordance with GAAP).

Adjusted EPS
Adjusted EPS is defined as reported earnings per share fully diluted from continuing operations excluding: (1) (gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net (including real estate), net;; (2) intangible impairments; (3) other (income) expense, (income), net (which includes foreign currency transaction (gains) losses, net); (4) Significant Acquisition Costs; and (5) the tax impact of reconciling items and discrete tax items. Adjusted EPS includes income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. 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.

(1)The difference between our effective tax rates and our structural tax rate (or adjusted effective tax rates) for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018 respectively, is primarily due to (i) the reconciling items above, which impact our reported income (loss) from continuing operations before provision (benefit) for income taxes but have an insignificant impact on our reported provision (benefit) for income taxes and (ii) other discrete tax items. Our structural tax rate for purposes of the calculation of Adjusted EPS for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 18.9%18.6% and 19.5%20.3%, respectively.

FFO (Nareit) and FFO (Normalized)
Funds from operations (“FFO”) is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") and us as net income (loss) excluding depreciation on real estate assets, gains on sale of real estate, net of tax and amortization of data center leased-based intangibles ("FFO (Nareit)"). 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). Although Nareit has published a definition of FFO, modifications to FFO (Nareit) are common among REITs as companies seek to provide financial measures that most meaningfully reflect their particular business. Our definition of FFO (Normalized) excludes certain items included in FFO (Nareit) that we believe are not indicative of our core operating results, specifically: (1) (gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment (excluding real estate), net; (2) intangible impairments; (3) other (income) expense, (income), net (which includes foreign currency transaction (gains) losses, net); (4) real estate financing lease depreciation; (5) Significant Acquisition Costs; (6) the tax impact of reconciling items and discrete tax items; (7) loss (income) from discontinued operations, net of tax; and (8) loss (gain) on sale of discontinued operations, net of tax.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and for the period then ended. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the estimates used. We base our estimates on historical experience, actuarial estimates, current conditions and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Our critical accounting policies include the following, which are listed in no particular order:
Revenue Recognition
Accounting for Acquisitions
Impairment of Tangible and Intangible Assets
Income Taxes
Further detail regarding our critical accounting policies can be found in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report, and the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes included therein. We have determined that no material changes concerning our critical accounting policies have occurred since December 31, 2018, other than the adoption of Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), as amended ("ASU 2016-02"), as described in Note 2.d. to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report.

Our organic revenue growth rate includes the impact of acquisitions of customer relationships.
Storage Rental Revenues


In the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, the increase in reported consolidated storage rental revenues was driven by the favorable impact of acquisitions/divestitures and consolidated organic storage rental revenue growth, partially offset by unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The net impact of acquisitions/divestitures contributed 3.1%2.0% to the reported storage rental revenue growth rates for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by acquisitions in our Global Data Center Business segment. Organic storage rental revenue growth of 2.0%2.5% in the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period was driven by organic storage rental revenue growth of 1.4%2.0% in our North American Records and Information Management Business segment due to revenue management partially offset by volume decreases, as well as organic storage rental revenue growth of 3.3%3.1% and 4.6%4.3% in our Western European Business and Other International Business segments, respectively, primarily a result of volume increases and, to a lesser extent, revenue management. Organic storage rental revenue growth in our Global Data Center Business segment was 5.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period, primarily related to a $3.4 million lease modification fee that benefited organic storage rental revenue growth for the segment by 2.2%. Organic storage rental revenue growth in our North American Data Management Business segment was negative 2.9%2.1% for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower storage volume, partially offset by the impact of revenue management. Excluding the impact of acquisitions/divestitures, global records management net volumes as of March 31,September 30, 2019 increased by 0.3%0.4% over the ending volume as of March 31,September 30, 2018. Including the impact of acquisitions/divestitures, global records management net volumes as of March 31,September 30, 2019 increased by 1.5%1.0% over the ending volume at March 31,September 30, 2018, supported by net volume increases of 2.2%1.5% and 7.3%5.2% in our Western European Business and Other International Business segments, respectively, partially offset by a net volume decrease of 1.2%1.0% in our North American Records and Information Management Business segment. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations decreased our reported storage rental revenue growth rate for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 by 3.3%2.4%, compared to the prior year period.

In the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, the decrease in reported consolidated service revenues was driven by unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates offset byand negative organic service revenue growth, andpartially offset by the favorable impact of acquisitions/divestitures. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations decreased our reported service revenue growth rate for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 by 3.6%2.6%, compared to the prior year period. OrganicIn the nine months ended September 30, 2019, organic service revenue growth of 1.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2019,was negative 1.2% compared to the prior year period, wasprimarily driven by organic service revenue growth of 2.3% in our North American Records and Information Management Business segment reflecting increased secured shredding revenues, primarily due to higher recycled paper prices, and project activity, partially offset by lower destructions, as well as organic service revenue growth of 3.0% in our Western European Business segment, primarily due to higher destruction activity, partially offset by continued declines in organic service revenue activity levels in our North American Data Management Business segment ofresulting in negative 3.2%,3.4% organic service revenue growth in this segment, as the storage business in this segment becomes more archival in nature and tape volumes decline.decline, and negative organic service revenue growth of 1.1% in our North American Records and Information Management Business segment reflecting recent declines in recycled paper prices and lower destruction activity. The net impact of acquisitions/divestitures contributed 1.7%1.9% to the reported service revenue growth rates for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, compared to the prior year period.

We expect our consolidated organic storage rental revenue growth rate for 2019 to be approximately 1.75% to 2.5% and our consolidated organic total revenue growth rate to be approximately 2.0% to 2.5%1.0%. During the past eight quarters, our organic storage rental revenue growth rate has ranged between 1.9% and 4.8%4.2%. Consolidated organic storage rental revenue growth and consolidated total organic revenue growth benefited by approximately 0.8% and 0.5%, respectively, in the second quarter of 2017, from a $4.2 million customer termination fee in our Global Data Center Business segment. Conversely, consolidated organic storage rental revenue growth and consolidated total organic revenue growth for the second quarter of 2018 were negatively impacted by the 0.8% and 0.5%, respectively, related to a $4.2 million customer termination fee in our Global Data Center Business segment in the second quarter of 2017. Consolidated organic storage rental revenue growth and consolidated total organic revenue growth were benefited by 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively, for the second quarter of 2019 and by 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively, for the third quarter of 2019, in each case related to a $1.7 million customer lease modification fee in our Global Data Center Business segment. We expect similar benefits in the fourth quarter of 2019 related to this termination fee.lease modification fee, which will total approximately $5.4 million for the full year 2019. Our organic storage rental revenue growth rates have declined over the past two fiscal years, as organic storage rental revenue growth for full year 2017 and 2018 was 3.9% and 2.4%, respectively. At various points in the economic cycle, organic storage rental revenue growth may be influenced by changes in pricing and volume. In 2018 and in the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, we experienced modest volume declines in our North American Records and Information Management Business and North American Data Management Business segments, with organic storage rental revenue growth in these segments coming primarily from revenue management in these segments and volume growth in our Western European Business and Other International Business segments. Within these business segments, we expect these trends to continue into the next few years.


The organic growth rate for service revenue is inherently more volatile than the organic growth rate for storage rental revenues due to the more discretionary nature of certain services we offer, such as large special projects, and, as a commodity, the volatility of pricing for recycled paper. These revenues, which are often event-driven and impacted to a greater extent by economic downturns as customers defer or cancel the purchase of certain services as a way to reduce their short-term costs, may be difficult to replicate in future periods. The organic growth rate for total service revenues over the past eight quarters reflects reduced retrieval/re-file activity and a related decrease in transportation revenues within our North American Records and Information Management Business and Western European Business segments, as well as continued declines in service revenue activity levels in our North American Data Management Business segment, as the storage business becomes more archival in nature and tape volumes decline. The recent increases in organic service revenue growth rates of 7.6%, 7.1% and 6.1% in the second, third and fourth quarters of 2018 reflect a strong contribution from our secure shredding business, which benefited from higher recycled paper prices, higher destruction activity and acquisitions of customer relationships. Organic service revenue growth declined to 1.8%, negative 2.0% and negative 3.0% for the first, quartersecond and third quarters of 2019, respectively, reflecting declining recycled paper prices and moderation of destruction activity compared to previous quarters. We expect these trends to continue throughout 2019.into 2020.

Gain on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net
Consolidated gain on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $9.3 million and $17.1 million, respectively.
During the second quarter of 2019, we began exploring strategic options regarding how to maintain and support the infrastructure of select offerings within our Iron Mountain Iron Cloud (“Iron Cloud”) portfolio. As a result, during the second quarter of 2019, we performed a long-lived asset impairment analysis on the assets associated with these select offerings and concluded that the associated carrying value of the long-lived assets (which consisted entirely of property, plant and equipment) was not recoverable based upon the underlying cash flows associated with these select offerings. On September 30, 2019, we entered into an agreement (the “Iron Cloud Outsourcing Agreement”) with a wholesale provider of data infrastructure and data management services to outsource the operation, infrastructure management and maintenance and delivery of select offerings within our Iron Cloud portfolio. In conjunction with the entry into the Iron Cloud Outsourcing Agreement, we also sold certain IT infrastructure assets and the rights to certain hardware and software maintenance contracts used to deliver these Iron Cloud offerings. As a result of our long-lived asset impairment analysis and sale of certain IT infrastructure assets and rights to certain hardware and software maintenance contracts, we recognized an impairment charge and a loss on sale of the assets totaling approximately $0.8 million and $24.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
The gain for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 consisted primarily of gains associated with (i) a sale-leaseback transaction of five facilities in the United States of approximately $9.8 million during the third quarter of 2019 and (ii) the sale of certain land and buildings in the United Kingdom of approximately $36.0 million during the second quarter of 2019. These gains were partially offset by losses primarily associated with (i) the impairment charge on the assets associated with the select offerings within our Iron Cloud portfolio, as described above, and (ii) the write-down of certain property, plant and equipment in our North American Records and Information Management Business of approximately $3.1 million.

We recorded net foreign currency transaction lossesgains of $17.7$19.9 million in the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, based on period-end exchange rates. These lossesgains resulted primarily from the impact of changes in the exchange rate of each of the British pound sterling and Euro against the United States dollar compared to December 31, 2018 on our intercompany balances with and between certain of our subsidiaries.
We recorded net foreign currency transaction losses of $21.8$3.8 million in the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018, based on period-end exchange rates. These losses resulted primarily from the impact of changes in the exchange rate of each of the Australian dollar, Brazilian real and Turkish lira against the United States dollar compared to December 31, 2017 on our intercompany balances with and between certain of our subsidiaries. These losses were partially offset by gains resulting primarily from the impact of changes in the exchange rate of each of the British pound sterling and EuroCanadian dollar against the United States dollar compared to December 31, 2017 on our intercompany balances with and between certain of our subsidiaries and the Euro Notes (as defined below). These losses were partially offset by gains resulting primarily from the impact of changes in the exchange rate of the Canadian dollar against the United States dollar compared to December 31, 2017 on our intercompany balances with and between certain of our subsidiaries.
Other, net
Other, net for the three months ended March 31, 2019 is primarily associated with the gain on sale resulting from the Consumer Storage Transaction (as defined and discussed more fully in Note 9 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report) of approximately $4.2 million. Other, net for the three months ended March 31, 2019 also includes the change in estimated fair value of the noncontrolling interests associated with our business in India, which are accounted for as mandatorily redeemable noncontrolling interests.
Provision for Income Taxes
We provide for income taxes during interim periods based on our estimate of the effective tax rate for the year. Our estimate of the effective tax rate for the years ending December 31, 2019 and 2018 reflect the impact of the U.S. tax reform legislation, commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Reform Legislation”). See Note 7 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report for additional information regarding the impact the Tax Reform Legislation had on us. Discrete items and changes in our estimate of the annual effective tax rate are recorded in the period they occur. Our effective tax rate is subject to variability in the future due to, among other items: (1) changes in the mix of income between our qualified REIT subsidiaries and our domestic taxable REIT subsidiaries, as well as among the jurisdictions in which we operate; (2) tax law changes; (3) volatility in foreign exchange gains and losses; (4) the timing of the establishment and reversal of tax reserves; and (5) our ability to utilize net operating losses that we generate.

Our effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was negatively impacted by $10.8 million of indirect tax expenses associated with the Netherlands VAT Matter. Excluding the impact of the Netherlands VAT Matter, consolidated Adjusted EBITDA decreased $25.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily as a result of increased labor costs in our secure shredding business, higher technology costs associated with information security investments and higher overhead expenses associated with the growth of our data center business.business, partially offset by a reduction in variable compensation expense and the impact of cost management actions. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, excluding the impact of the Netherlands VAT Matter, consolidated Adjusted EBITDA increased by $11.9 million compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by cost management actions as well as a reduction in variable compensation expense.
(LOSS) INCOME FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS, NET OF TAX
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax was $0.5$12.4 million for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018, primarily related to the costs associated with the Recall Divestments (as defined and discussed in Note 13 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report).
NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS
For the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests resulted in a decrease in net income attributable to IMI of $0.9$1.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

For the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, reported revenue in our Global Data Center Business segment increased 32.0%14.2% compared to the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018, primarily due to the impact of acquisitions (see Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report for additional acquisition details). The impact of acquisitions contributed 28.9%11.0% to the reported revenue growth rate in our Global Data Center Business segment for the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period. Organic storage rental revenue growth in our Global Data Center Business segment was 5.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period, primarily related to a $3.4 million lease modification fee that benefited organic storage rental revenue growth by 2.2%. For the three months ended September 30, 2019 the impact of the lease modification fee of $1.7 million benefited organic storage rental revenue growth by 2.9%. Adjusted EBITDA Margin increased $5.2 million700 basis points for the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily driven by the impact of the lease modification fee and cost management actions. Adjusted EBITDA increased $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the impact of acquisitions.acquisitions and the lease modification fee described above. Adjusted EBITDA margin decreased 230Margin increased 130 basis points during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 compared to the prior year period primarily due to lower gross margin associated withthe impact of cost management actions, partially offset by higher facilities costs, in part due to recent acquisitions, and increased overhead to support the growth of this business.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, Adjusted EBITDA in the Corporate and Other Business segment as a percentage of consolidated revenues decreased 90 basis points compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA in the Corporate and Other Business segment decreased $11.0$7.4 million in the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 compared to the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018. Adjusted EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was negatively impacted by $10.8 million of indirect tax expenses associated with the Netherlands VAT Matter. Excluding the impact of the Netherlands VAT Matter, Adjusted EBITDA in the Corporate and Other Business segment decreased $18.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018, primarily driven by higher compensation expense and professional fees associated with investments in our global operations support team that is tasked with driving operational improvements and continued investment in innovation and product development, partially offset by profitability associated with recent acquisitions in our Adjacent Businesses operating segment. The increase in compensation expense is primarily the result of merit-based increases as well as increased headcount, partially offset by a reduction in variable compensation expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2019, excluding the impact of the Netherlands VAT Matter, Adjusted EBITDA increased by $8.4 million compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by cost management actions as well as a reduction in variable compensation expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Project Summit
As disclosed in Note 13 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report, in October 2019, we announced Project Summit. We estimate that the implementation of Project Summit will result in total restructuring charges (including operating and capital expenditures) of approximately $240.0 million, including approximately $60.0 million of restructuring charges we expect to incur during the fourth quarter of 2019. We expect to substantially complete all actions associated with Project Summit by the end of 2021. We expect a significant portion of the restructuring charges we will incur as a result of Project Summit to be settled in cash, including substantially all of the restructuring charges we expect to incur during the fourth quarter of 2019.

Financial Instruments and Debt
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents (including money market funds and time deposits) and accounts receivable. The only significant concentration of liquid investment as of March 31,September 30, 2019 is related to cash and cash equivalents.

In September 2019, IMI completed a private offering of $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of the 47/8% Notes due 2029. The 47/8% Notes due 2029 were issued at par. The net proceeds of approximately $987.5 million from the 47/8% Notes due 2029, after deducting the initial purchasers' commissions, were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
See Note 4 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report and Note 45 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information regarding our long-term debt.
Letters of Credit
As of September 30, 2019, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $35.2 million, of which $16.8 million reduce our borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility. The letters of credit expire at various dates between December 2019 and August 2027.




Debt Covenants
The Credit Agreement, our indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness contain certain restrictive financial and operating covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to complete acquisitions, pay cash dividends, incur indebtedness, make investments, sell assets and take certain other corporate actions. The covenants do not contain a rating trigger. Therefore, a change in our debt rating would not trigger a default under the Credit Agreement, our indentures or other agreements governing our indebtedness. The Credit Agreement uses EBITDAR-based calculations as the primary measures of financial performance, including leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios.

Our leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios under the Credit Agreement as of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, as well as our leverage ratio under our indentures as of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 are as follows:
March 31, 2019 December 31, 2018 Maximum/Minimum AllowableSeptember 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Maximum/Minimum Allowable

(1)
The maximum allowable leverage ratio under our indentures for the 47/8% Notes due 2029, the 47/8% Notes due 2027, the GBP Notes and the 51/4% Notes is 7.0, while the maximum allowable leverage ratio under the indentures pertaining to our remaining senior and senior subordinated notes is 6.5. In certain instances as provided in our indentures, we have the ability to incur additional indebtedness that would result in our bond leverage ratio exceeding the maximum allowable ratio under our indentures and still remain in compliance with the covenant.


Noncompliance with these leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and liquidity.



Our ability to pay interest on or to refinance our indebtedness depends on our future performance, working capital levels and capital structure, which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors which may be beyond our control. There can be no assurance that we will generate sufficient cash flow from our operations or that future financings will be available on acceptable terms or in amounts sufficient to enable us to service or refinance our indebtedness or to make necessary capital expenditures.
Derivative Instruments
In July 2019, we entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness once our current interest rate swaps expire in March 2022. The forward-starting interest rate swap agreements have $350.0 million in notional value, commence in March 2022 and expire in March 2024. Under the swap agreements we will receive variable rate interest payments based upon one-month LIBOR, in exchange for the payment of fixed interest rate payments at the rates specified in the interest rate swap agreements. We have designated these interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges.
In August 2019, we entered into cross-currency swap agreements to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the United States dollar and the Euro. Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreements we notionally exchanged approximately $110.0 million at an interest rate of 6.0% for approximately 99.1 million Euros at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.65%. The cross-currency swap agreements, which expire in August 2023, are designated as a hedge of net investment against certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries and require and exchange of the notional amounts at maturity. We have designated these cross-currency swap agreements as net investment hedges.
See Note 3 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for additional information on our derivative instruments.

At The Market (ATM) Equity Program
As described in greater detail in Note 12 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report, we entered into a distribution agreement with a syndicate of 10 banks (the “Agents”) pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $500.0 million of our common stock through the Agents (the “At The Market (ATM) Equity Program”). There were no shares of common stock sold under the At the Market (ATM) Equity Program during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019. During the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2018, under the At The Market (ATM) Equity Program, we sold an aggregate of 273,486 shares of common stock for gross proceeds of approximately $8.8 million, generating net proceeds of $8.7 million, after deducting commissions of $0.1 million. As of March 31,September 30, 2019, the remaining aggregate sale price of shares of our common stock available for distribution under the At The Market (ATM) Equity Program was approximately $431.2 million.
Acquisitions
See Note 34 to Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report for information regarding our 2019 acquisitions.


Included in Significant Acquisition Costs are certain costs associated with the Recall Transaction and the IODC Transaction. This amount consists of (i) Significant Acquisition Costs and (ii) capital expenditures to integrate Recall with our existing operations. We currently estimate total acquisition and integration expenditures associated with the Recall Transaction and acquisition expenditures associated with the IODC Transaction to be approximately $405.0 million, the substantial majority of which was incurred prior to the end of 2018.


The following table presents the cumulative amount of operating and capital expenditures incurred during the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, as well as the cumulative amount incurred through March 31,September 30, 2019, associated with the Recall Transaction and the IODC Transaction (in thousands):

Contractual Obligations
We expect to meet our cash flow requirements for the next twelve months by utilizing cash on hand, cash generated from operations, borrowings under the Credit Agreement and other financings (including the issuance of equity under the At The Market (ATM) Equity Program). We expect to meet our long-term cash flow requirements using the same resources described above. We are currently operating above our long-term targeted leverage ratio and expect to reduce our leverage ratio over time through business growth and effective capital allocation strategies.
Inflation
Certain of our expenses, such as wages and benefits, insurance, occupancy costs and equipment repair and replacement, are subject to normal inflationary pressures. Although to date we have been able to offset inflationary cost increases with increased operating efficiencies, the negotiation of favorable long-term real estate leases and an ability to increase prices in our customer contracts (many of which contain provisions for inflationary price escalators), we can give no assurance that we will be able to offset any future inflationary cost increases through similar efficiencies, leases or increased storage rental or service charges.
Sale of Facilities
In April 2019, we completed the sale of two owned facilities in the United Kingdom for total proceeds of approximately $43.0 million.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The term "disclosure controls and procedures" is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). These rules refer to the controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information is recorded, processed, accumulated, summarized, communicated and reported to management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding what is required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files under the Exchange Act. As of March 31,September 30, 2019 (the "Evaluation Date"), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, we adopted ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019. In connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-02, we implemented a new lease accounting system and also redesigned certain processes and controls pertaining to our lease portfolio. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31,September 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.



Part II. Other Information
Item 1A. Risk Factors

We face many risks. You should carefully consider the risks and uncertainties described below and under “Forward Looking Statements” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as well as in Part I, Item 1A under the heading “Risk Factors” and the information contained under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements” in our Annual Report, and the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in other documents that we file with the SEC from time to time before making an investment decision regarding our securities. If any of the events or circumstances described in such risks and uncertainties actually occurs, our businesses, financial condition or results of operations could suffer and the trading price of our debt or equity securities could decline.

Our program to simplify our global structure may not be successful.
In October 2019, we announced Project Summit, a global program designed to better position us for future growth and achievement of our strategic objectives. Project Summit will focus on simplifying our global records and information management structure and streamlining our managerial structure. As a result of the program, we expect to reduce the number of vice president level and above positions by approximately 45%. The total program is expected to reduce our total managerial and administrative workforce by approximately 700 positions over the next two years. We also plan to implement systems and process changes designed to make our organization more agile and dynamic, streamline our organization and reallocate our resources to better align with our strategic goals. We expect the total program benefits associated with Project Summit to be fully realized by the end of 2022. We have included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q estimates of expected improvements to our Adjusted EBITDA and the restructuring charges (including operating and capital expenditures) we expect to incur. However, we may not be able to realize the full amount of our expected improvements to Adjusted EBITDA in a timely manner, or at all, and the restructuring charges associated Project Summit may exceed our expectations. In addition, this program may yield unintended consequences, such as attrition beyond our intended reduction in force and distraction of our employees. As a result, Project Summit could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
We did not sell any unregistered equity securities during the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, nor did we repurchase any shares of our common stock during the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019.
