So welcome, everyone. Thank you for joining us this afternoon. I’m Dave Barton. I head up, U.S. and Canada Telecom and Communications Infrastructure Research for Bank of America.

Thanks for having us. Really appreciate it.

Question-and-Answer Session

Q – David Barden

So I guess I’d like to start, at a big, big picture level with maybe Andy, there’s a lot of uncertainty about the political climate. There’s a lot of uncertainty about the economic climate. There’s a lot of uncertainty about the rates climate. What does all that mean for Digital Realty sitting here at the end of 2024 thinking about how to plan for 2025 and what should we think, how should we think — you think about it?

Andrew Power

So, a few things. One, we’re a global company and we’re supporting 5,000 customers on six continents, 50 plus metropolitan areas. We’re a massively capital intensive company, so spending billions of dollars on new footprint infrastructure capacity. We are a real REIT, so we cannot retain our capital. So we’re a capital sensitive company, which go in the mix and bowls of economics and interest rates called fall-in. So all those things are obviously risks to the business that we have to operate within and execute.
