Revenues Up 21% WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. (NYSE:DFT) today reported results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. All per share results are reported on a fully diluted basis. Highlights -- Executed five leases totaling 15.90 megawatts in third quarter, representing approximately $310 million of total contract value over respective lease terms. -- CH1 Phase I 48% leased, ACC5 Phase I 73% leased and ACC5 Phase II 38% pre-leased. -- Subsequent to the end of the third quarter executed one lease totaling 1.95 megawatts in Reston, Virginia. This lease, which commences in January 2010, fully re-leases the 27,268 raised square feet expiring on December 31, 2009. -- Opened Phase I of ACC5, which adds 18% of critical load to our operating portfolio. -- Funds From Operations ("FFO") of $0.29 per share for third quarter of 2009, which was in the upper half of guidance range. -- Revenues increased 21.0% in the third quarter and 17.0% year to date. -- Raised the lower end of 2009 FFO per share guidance range by $0.04 per share to $1.09 to $1.12 per share. -- Raised the 2009 required dividend payout per share guidance by $0.04 per share to $0.24 to $0.30 per share. Hossein Fateh, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, "During the third quarter, we continued to focus on leasing and operations, and are pleased with the progress made. Year to date we have signed 12 leases totaling 32.80 megawatts of critical load, 187,350 raised square feet of space and approximately $700 million of contract value to the Company. In the third quarter we also achieved a solid quarter of earnings and opened our ACC5 Phase I development. Looking ahead, a principal objective will be raising the funds necessary to start the next two developments in early 2010 in order to capitalize on market demand for our product." Third Quarter 2009 Results For the quarter ended September 30, 2009, the Company reported earnings per share of $0.08 compared to $0.12 for the third quarter of 2008. Revenues increased 21.0%, or $9.0 million, to $51.9 million for the third quarter of 2009 over the third quarter of 2008. The $0.04 per share decrease in earnings per share is primarily due to higher interest expense, which is attributable to higher debt balances and lower capitalized interest, partially offset by higher operating income. FFO per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 was $0.29 compared to $0.31 for the quarter ended September 30, 2008. The $0.02 per share decrease is primarily due to higher interest expense, partially offset by higher operating income, as referenced above. Nine Months Ended September 30, 2009 For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company reported earnings per share of $0.22 compared to $0.44 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Revenues increased 17.0%, or $21.5 million, to $147.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 over the year ago period. The overall decrease in earnings per share is primarily attributable to higher interest expense, which is due to higher debt balances and lower capitalized interest, and increased depreciation and amortization in the current period. FFO per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $0.83 compared to $1.00 for the corresponding period in 2008. The $0.17 per share decrease is primarily due to higher interest expense, as referenced above. Portfolio Update/Status During the third quarter of 2009, the Company executed five new leases totaling 15.90 megawatts of critical load and 90,460 raised square feet with an average lease term of 10.6 years. This represents approximately $310 million of contract value to the Company. -- One lease was signed at CH1 Phase I in Elk Grove Village, Illinois representing 5.63 megawatts of critical load and 36,700 raised square feet. -- Two leases were signed at ACC5 Phase I in Ashburn, Virginia comprising 2.84 megawatts of critical load and 13,700 raised square feet. -- One lease was signed at VA3 in Reston, Virginia comprising 0.60 megawatts of critical load and 7,060 raised square feet. This is a new lease of space being vacated at the end of 2009. -- One pre-lease was signed at ACC5 Phase II in Ashburn, Virginia comprising 6.83 megawatts of critical load and 33,000 raised square feet with a January 1, 2011 move-in date. Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the Company executed one lease at VA3 in Reston, Virginia totaling 1.95 megawatts of critical load, which, combined with the lease mentioned above, fully re-leases the space being vacated at the end of 2009. As of the date of this press release, the Company's stabilized operating portfolio's critical load is 100% leased. CH1 Phase I and ACC5 Phase I, both currently in lease-up, are 48% and 73% leased, respectively. ACC5 Phase II, a new development yet to be completed, is 38% pre-leased. Liquidity The Company has no debt maturities until the third quarter of 2011 assuming the election of the extension options on the Company's line of credit and the loans secured by ACC5 and SC1. As of the date of this press release, the Company has approximately $24 million of unrestricted cash and $20 million available on its revolving credit facility. Development Update The Company has obtained the certificate of occupancy and commissioning report for ACC5 Phase I. The building was designed and constructed to obtain LEED gold certification. As of the date of this press release, the Company is actively pursuing additional funds for both the ACC5 Phase II in Ashburn, Virginia and NJ1 Phase I in Piscataway, New Jersey developments. The commencement of one or both is subject to obtaining adequate financing. Dividend The Company has increased its 2009 REIT dividend requirement estimate by $0.04, and the payment range is now $0.24 to $0.30 per share. The Company has available funds sufficient to pay the dividend in cash, and the Board of Directors will determine the method and timing of the dividend prior to the end of the fourth quarter. 2009 Guidance The Company has established a FFO guidance range of $0.26 to $0.29 per share for the fourth quarter of 2009 and is reaffirming and tightening its annual FFO guidance range by $0.04 per share from $1.05 to $1.12 per share to $1.09 to $1.12 per share. The assumptions underlying this guidance are outlined on page 15 of this press release.

We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition that was adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus specified non-cash items, such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We use FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating expenses. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of equity REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes real estate related depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of equity REITs, other equity REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO and, accordingly, FFO as disclosed by such other REITs may not be comparable to our FFO. Therefore, we believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated statements of operations. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or to cash flow from operating activities (each as computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. We also present FFO with a supplemental adjustment which we call Adjusted FFO ("AFFO"). AFFO is FFO excluding straight-line revenue, non-cash stock based compensation, gain or loss on derivative instruments, acquisition of service agreements, below market lease amortization net of above market lease amortization and early extinguishment of debt costs. AFFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operations as a measure of liquidity and is not necessarily indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs including our ability to pay dividends. In addition, AFFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements employed by other companies. Our management uses AFFO in management reports to provide a measure of REIT operating performance that can be compared to other companies using AFFO. DUPONT FABROS TECHNOLOGY, INC.

We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition that was adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, represents net income determined in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets, plus specified non-cash items, such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We use FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating expenses. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of equity REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes real estate related depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of equity REITs, other equity REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO and, accordingly, FFO as disclosed by such other REITs may not be comparable to our FFO. Therefore, we believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income as presented in the consolidated statements of operations. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income or to cash flow from operating activities (each as computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions.
