What were the main drivers of Equinix's revenue growth in Q3 2011?

Revenue growth was driven by increased demand from both existing and new customers across all geographic segments (Americas, EMEA, Asia-Pacific). The ALOG acquisition in Brazil also contributed incremental revenue. Recurring revenues, comprising over 90% of total revenue, remained strong, supported by customer bookings and an improved utilization rate.

How did Equinix finance its operations and expansion plans?

Equinix generated strong net cash from operating activities, which was the primary source of funding. Additionally, the company issued $750 million in 7.00% Senior Notes in July 2011. The company also maintained approximately $135.7 million in additional liquidity through its senior revolving credit facility and other financing arrangements to support ongoing expansion projects and general corporate needs.

What impact did the ALOG acquisition have on the financial statements?

The ALOG acquisition, completed in April 2011, contributed to increased revenues and costs of revenues, particularly in the Americas segment. It also resulted in the recognition of goodwill and intangible assets on the balance sheet and was accounted for using the acquisition method. While not deemed material enough to require pro forma financial information, its operational integration is reflected in the segment results.

What is the company's outlook on future growth and expansion?

Equinix plans to continue its growth strategy through strategic expansion projects, including the build-out of new IBX data centers in existing and new markets, and potential acquisitions. The company monitors market demand and capacity availability closely, investing in infrastructure that supports higher power and cooling needs for customers. Future capital expenditures are expected to increase to support these initiatives.
