Revenue of $2.23 billion grew 4.6% year-over-year, landing essentially in line with estimates despite a marginal -0.21% miss, as currency headwinds obscured what the company characterized as 8% normalized constant-currency growth. Adjusted EBITDA of $1.07 billion came in above the top of guidance with a 48% margin, while AFFO per share climbed 9% to $9.67. A deepening push into AI infrastructure, including a partnership with NVIDIA to deploy next-generation DGX systems across 45 global markets, underpinned the strong operational momentum. Management responded to the outperformance by raising full-year revenue guidance by $142 million to a range of $9.18 billion to $9.28 billion, with AFFO guidance lifted to $3.68 billion to $3.76 billion, signaling continued confidence in demand for global digital infrastructure through the remainder of the year.

Key Takeaways

  • Sustained demand and improved sales execution resulted in gross and net bookings above expectations
  • Strong underlying operating performance driving 26% increase in operating income year-over-year
  • Interconnection revenues increased 7% year-over-year or 9% on normalized and constant currency basis
  • Strong adoption of Fabric Cloud Router for multi-cloud connectivity

“We delivered a strong start to the year, exceeding our expectations for both bookings and financial performance. Demand for our digital infrastructure and services remains robust. This, together with a healthy balance sheet and customer momentum across a full breadth of geographies, industries, segments, and products, reaffirms our confidence in our strategy and ability to create even greater value. As a result, we raised our guidance across our key financial metrics. I believe our focus on serving our customers even better and innovating the solutions and capacity they need to execute their AI, cloud, and digital strategies, will continue to unlock considerable value in the near and long-term.”
