What are non-GAAP financial measures, and why are they mentioned?

Non-GAAP financial measures are financial performance metrics that exclude certain items that management believes are not indicative of the company's core operational performance. Equinix uses these to provide additional insights into its results. A reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP measures is provided in the press release to ensure transparency and allow investors to understand the adjustments made.

The filing states that the information in the press release shall not be deemed 'filed' for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor incorporated by reference in any other filing under securities laws, except as specifically stated in a future filing. This means it's furnished for informational purposes and does not carry the same legal implications as formally filed financial statements.
