Summary
Summary of the 10-K filed February 23, 2023. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Iron Mountain Incorporated's 2022 Form 10-K reports total revenues of $5.10 billiona for the year ended December 31, 2022, up from $4.49 billion in 2021, with net income of $562.1 million (compared with $452.7 million in 2021) and Adjusted EBITDA of $1.83 billion (compared with $1.63 billion).
Growth was driven by organic storage rental revenue growth from revenue management and volume, organic service revenue growth, and the January 2022 acquisition of an approximately 80% interest in ITRenew, which the company consolidates at 100%. Adjusted EBITDA margin was 35.8%, down from 36.4%, which management attributed primarily to a 150 basis point decrease from the ITRenew acquisition. The company launched Project Matterhorn in September 2022, a global program with expected costs of approximately $150.0 millionb per year from 2023 through 2025, and it recorded $41.9 million of related costs in 2022.
The Global Data Center Business had 21 operating data centers across 19 global markets, with approximately 92% of data center capacity leased as of December 31, 2022. Total long-term debt was $10.65 billionc at year-end, against stockholders' equity of $636.7 million and cash of $141.8 million. The company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.6185 per share on February 23, 2023, and expects 2023 total capital expenditures of approximately $1.00 billion.
The filing states that the company is a REIT and that its ability to pay dividends and remain a REIT depends on several factors, including its high leverage, its covenants, and the relative growth of its TRS-based operations. Management reported that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022, and Deloitte & Touche LLP issued an unqualified opinion on both the financial statements and internal controls.
