  • Average monthly Core churn of 0.6% in the fourth quarter was in-line with the year-ago quarter and 20 basis points below the third-quarter level; average monthly Core churn of 0.8% in 2022 was in-line with 2021.

“In 2022, we delivered strong Core revenue growth of 7.5%, drove stabilized occupancy increases of 350 basis points, and continued to strategically expand our footprint,” said Carlos Sagasta, Cyxtera’s Chief Financial Officer.

The company also announced that, on March 14, 2023, it entered into an agreement with all of its revolving lenders to modify certain terms of its $120.1 million revolving credit facility, including an extension of the maturity date under such facility from November 1, 2023 to April 2, 2024. The company is actively attempting to address its revolving credit facility and long-term debt that mature in April 2024 and May 2024, respectively. Due to these ongoing efforts, Cyxtera will not hold a fourth quarter 2022 conference call and is not providing 2023 guidance at this time.

Kirkland & Ellis LLP and Guggenheim Securities, LLC are serving as legal and financial advisors, respectively, to Cyxtera in connection with these efforts.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Because forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of Cyxtera’s control. Actual results and conditions (financial or otherwise) may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and conditions to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, risks related to Cyxtera’s material indebtedness with near term maturities; Cyxtera’s ability to refinance or renew its existing indebtedness on favorable terms or at all; Cyxtera’s ability to access external sources of capital on favorable terms or at all, which could limit Cyxtera’s ability to execute its business and growth strategies; Cyxtera’s ability to maintain its credit ratings; increases in interest rates; fluctuations in energy prices; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in the markets in which Cyxtera operates internationally; inflation; prolonged power outages, shortages or capacity constraints; physical and electronic security breaches and cyber-attacks, which could disrupt Cyxtera’s operations; any failure of Cyxtera’s physical infrastructure or negative impact on its ability to provide its services, or damage to customer infrastructure within its data centers; inadequate or inaccurate external and internal information, including budget and planning data, which could lead to inaccurate financial forecasts and inappropriate financial decisions; Cyxtera’s fluctuating operating results; Cyxtera’s government contracts, which are subject to early termination, audits, investigations, sanctions and penalties; Cyxtera’s reliance on third parties to provide internet connectivity to its data centers; the incurrence of goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges, such as Cyxtera’s recent impairment of goodwill, or impairment charges to Cyxtera’s property and equipment, which could result in a significant reduction to its earnings; the requirements of being a public company, including maintaining adequate internal controls over financial and management systems; Cyxtera’s ability to manage its growth; volatility of the market price of Cyxtera’s Class A common stock; future sales, or the perception of future sales, of Cyxtera Class A common stock by Cyxtera or its existing securityholders in the public market, which could cause the market price for Cyxtera’s Class A common stock to decline; Cyxtera’s ability to use its United States federal and state net operating losses to offset future United States federal and applicable state taxable income may be subject to certain limitations that could accelerate or permanently increase taxes owed; Cyxtera’s ability to address the significant implementation and operational complexities required to complete a conversion to a REIT, including, without limitation, completing internal reorganizations and modifying accounting and information technology systems, and receiving any necessary stakeholder and other approvals; Cyxtera’s ability to apply highly technical and complex provisions of the US Internal Revenue Code, as amended, to its operations; and risks related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on Cyxtera’s business or future results, including supply chain disruptions. The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the “Risk Factors” disclosed in Cyxtera’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) from time to time. There may be additional risks that Cyxtera does not presently know or that it currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Cyxtera’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance upon any such forward-looking statements in this press release. Neither Cyxtera nor any of its affiliates assume any obligation to update this press release, except as required by law.

Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release contains Transaction Adjusted EBITDA, which is a supplemental measure that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Transaction Adjusted EBITDA represents the measure of EBITDA disclosed to SVAC in connection with its consideration of the business combination transaction between Starboard Value Acquisition Corp. (“SVAC”) and Cyxtera. Cyxtera defines Transaction Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before the following items: depreciation and amortization; interest and other expenses, net; income tax expense (benefit); equity-based compensation; stand-up separation & other; goodwill impairment; restructuring costs & other; REIT conversion costs; straight-line rent adjustment; amortization of favorable / unfavorable leasehold interest & asset retirement obligation accretion; transaction-related costs; and change in fair value of warrant liabilities. As a non-GAAP financial measure, Transaction Adjusted EBITDA excludes items that are significant in understanding and assessing Cyxtera’s financial results or position. Therefore, this measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income, cash flows from operations or other measures of profitability, liquidity or performance under GAAP. You should be aware that Cyxtera’s presentation of this measure may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. You should review Cyxtera’s unaudited financial statements and the reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures included in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures provided in this release and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate Cyxtera’s business.

This press release includes constant currency revenue and Transaction Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures and are not meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to GAAP revenue and GAAP net income (loss). Cyxtera has presented these non-GAAP financial measures to provide investors with an additional tool to evaluate its results without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of Cyxtera’s business performance. To present this information, Cyxtera’s current and comparative prior period revenues and certain operating expenses from entities with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted into U.S. dollars at a consistent exchange rate for purposes of each result being compared.
