The combined report covers both Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (the REIT) and its operating partnership, Digital Realty Trust, L.P. The amendment does not reflect events after the original filing. The company owned 131 properties (about 24.5 million net rentable square feet) at year-end 2013, with the portfolio 92.6%a leased, spanning North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Australia.

Financially, 2013 total operating revenues rose 15.9% to $1.48 billionb, and net income attributable to common stockholders was $271.6 million ($2.12 per diluted share), up from $171.7 million.

Total debt was about $5.0 billion, with roughly 76% fixed-rate or swapped, an effective interest rate of 3.92%, and a debt-to-total-enterprise-value ratio of about 41%.

The company raised capital through a £400 million 4.25% notes offering due 2025 and a $500 millionc share repurchase authorization, though no repurchases were made in 2013. Investors should note concentration and development risk. CenturyLink is the largest tenant at 7.8% of annualized rent, and London represents 12.0% of annualized rent.
