Equinix reported revenues of $103.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, representing a 41% increase compared to $73.7 million in the same period of the prior year. This growth was driven by increases in both recurring and non-recurring revenues across its U.S. and Asia-Pacific segments, with the initial contribution from the recently acquired IXEurope.

What was the impact of the IXEurope acquisition on Equinix's financial statements?

The acquisition of IXEurope, completed on September 14, 2007, for approximately $549 million, significantly impacted Equinix's financial statements. It led to a substantial increase in total assets (from $771.8 million to $2.13 billion) and total liabilities (from $416.8 million to $1.32 billion). Notably, goodwill increased from $16.9 million to $430.3 million, reflecting the purchase price allocation. The acquisition also contributed $5.5 million in revenue and $4.0 million in cost of revenues during the partial quarter of operations included in this report.

How did Equinix finance its significant expansion activities and the IXEurope acquisition?

Equinix funded its strategic initiatives, including the IXEurope acquisition and ongoing expansion projects, through a combination of debt and equity offerings. Key financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, included issuing $250 million in 2.50% convertible subordinated notes and $396 million in 3.00% convertible subordinated notes, as well as securing various loans. The company also raised $339.9 million in net proceeds from a common stock offering.

What is Equinix's current profitability trend?

The company reported income from operations of $6.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007, a notable improvement from the $3.1 million loss from operations in the same period of 2006. While the nine-month period still showed a net loss of $15.5 million in 2006 versus a net income of $885,000 in 2007, the trend indicates a move towards profitability, supported by revenue growth and improved operational efficiencies, though significant investments in expansion continue.
