REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Iron Mountain Incorporated

OPINION ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Iron Mountain Incorporated and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 23, 2023, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

BASIS FOR OPINION

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

CRITICAL AUDIT MATTERS

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

GOODWILL - GLOBAL DATA CENTER AND ASSET LIFECYCLE MANAGEMENT REPORTING UNITS - REFER TO NOTE 2.L. TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CRITICAL AUDIT MATTER DESCRIPTION

The Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment involves the comparison of the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value. The Company determined the fair value of the Global Data Center reporting unit using a combined approach based on the present value of future cash flows (the "Discounted Cash Flow Model") and market multiples (the "Market Approach"). The Company determined the fair value of the Asset Lifecycle Management reporting unit using the Discounted Cash Flow Model. The determination of the fair value using the Discounted Cash Flow Model requires management to make significant assumptions related to future revenue growth rates, operating margins, discount rates and capital expenditures. The determination of the fair value using the Market Approach requires management to make significant assumptions related to adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA") multiples. Changes in economic and operating conditions impacting these assumptions or changes in multiples could result in goodwill impairments in future periods. The goodwill balances allocated to the Global Data Center and Asset Lifecycle Management reporting units were $408 million and $617 million, respectively, as of October 1, 2022 (goodwill impairment testing date). The fair value of both the Global Data Center and Asset Lifecycle Management reporting units exceeded its respective carrying value as of the measurement date and, therefore, no impairment was recognized.

The fair value exceeded the carrying value of the Global Data Center and Asset Lifecycle Management reporting units by less than 30%, accordingly, auditing the assumptions used in the goodwill impairment analysis for this reporting unit involved especially subjective judgment.

HOW THE CRITICAL AUDIT MATTER WAS ADDRESSED IN THE AUDIT

Our audit procedures related to future revenue growth rates, operating margins and capital expenditures (collectively, the "Projected Cash Flows"), the selection of discount rates, and Adjusted EBITDA multiples for these reporting units included the following, among others:

  • We evaluated management’s ability to accurately forecast by comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts.

  • We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s Projected Cash Flows by comparing it to (1) historical results, (2) internal communications to management and the Board of Directors, and (3) forecasted information included in Company press releases and industry reports of the Company and companies in its peer group.

  • With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the discount rates, including testing the underlying source information and the mathematical accuracy of the calculations, and developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rates selected by management.

  • With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the Adjusted EBITDA multiples, including testing the underlying source information and mathematical accuracy of the calculations and comparing the multiples selected by management to its guideline companies for the Global Data Center reporting unit.

  • We tested the effectiveness of controls over the evaluation of goodwill for impairment, including those over the Projected Cash Flows and discount rates and, additionally, for the Global Data Center reporting unit, the selection of the Adjusted EBITDA multiples.

ACQUISITIONS - ITRENEW BUSINESS - SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP INTANGIBLE ASSET-REFER TO NOTE 3 TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

CRITICAL AUDIT MATTER DESCRIPTION

The Company completed the acquisition of 80% of the ITRenew business for $725 million on January 25, 2022. The acquisition included a deferred purchase obligation for the Company to acquire the remaining ownership percentage based on achievement of certain performance targets. The Company determined that the fair value of the deferred purchase obligation was $275 million. The Company accounted for the acquisition under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations. Accordingly, the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their respective fair values, including a supplier relationship intangible asset of $472 million. Management estimated the fair value of the supplier relationship intangible asset using the multi-period excess earnings method, which is a specific discounted cash flow method. The fair value determination of the supplier relationship intangible asset required management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to future cash flows and the selection of the discount rate.

68IRON MOUNTAIN 2022 FORM 10-K

Part IV

We identified the supplier relationship intangible asset for ITRenew business as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates and assumptions management made to determine the fair value of the asset. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s forecasts of future cash flows and the selection of the discount rate for the supplier relationship intangible asset.

HOW THE CRITICAL AUDIT MATTER WAS ADDRESSED IN THE AUDIT

Our audit procedures related to the forecasts of future cash flows and the selection of the discount rate for the supplier relationship intangible asset included the following, among others:

  • We assessed the reasonableness of management’s forecasts of future cash flows by comparing the projections to historical results and certain external market information.

  • With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the (1) valuation methodology and (2) discount rate by:

◦Testing the source information underlying the determination of the discount rate and testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculation.

◦Developing a range of independent estimates and comparing those to the discount rate selected by management.

  • We evaluated whether the estimated future cash flows were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit.

  • We tested the effectiveness of controls over the valuation of the supplier relationship intangible asset, including management’s controls over forecasts of future cash flows and selection of the discount rate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2022

(In thousands, except share and per share data)

1. NATURE OF BUSINESS

The accompanying financial statements represent the consolidated accounts of Iron Mountain Incorporated, a Delaware corporation ("IMI"), and its subsidiaries ("we" or "us").

We help organizations around the world protect their information, reduce storage costs, comply with regulations, facilitate corporate disaster recovery, and better use their information and information technology ("IT") infrastructure for business advantages, regardless of its format, location or life cycle stage. We do this by storing physical records and data backup media, offering information management solutions, and providing data center space for enterprise-class colocation and hyperscale deployments. We offer comprehensive records and information management services and data management services, along with the expertise and experience to address complex storage and information management challenges such as rising storage rental costs, legal and regulatory compliance, and disaster recovery requirements. We provide secure and reliable data center facilities to protect digital information and ensure the continued operation of our customers’ IT infrastructure, with reliable and flexible deployment options. Our asset lifecycle management ("ALM") business allows us to provide end-to-end asset lifecycle services for hyperscale, corporate data center and corporate end-user device assets.

In September 2022, we announced a global program designed to accelerate the growth of our business ("Project Matterhorn"). Project Matterhorn will focus on the formation of a solution-based sales approach that is designed to allow us to optimize our shared services and best practices to better serve our customers’ needs. We will be investing to accelerate growth and to capture a greater share of the large, global addressable markets in which we operate. See Note 13.

We have been organized and have operated as a real estate investment trust for United States federal income tax purposes ("REIT") beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2014.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying financial statements reflect our financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity and cash flows on a consolidated basis. The accompanying financial statements include the results of those entities over which we have a controlling financial interest and we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated.

B. USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and for the period then ended. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the estimates used. We base our estimates on historical experience, actuarial estimates, current conditions and various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

C. FOREIGN CURRENCY

Local currencies are the functional currencies for our operations outside the United States, with the exception of certain foreign holding companies, whose functional currency is the United States dollar. In those instances where the local currency is the functional currency, assets and liabilities are translated at period-end exchange rates, and revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the applicable period. See Note 2.r.

D. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash invested in highly liquid short-term securities, which have remaining maturities at the date of purchase of less than 90 days. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value.

E. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND CREDIT MEMO RESERVES

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts and a credit memo reserve for estimated losses resulting from the potential inability of our customers to make required payments and potential disputes regarding billing and service issues. We calculate and monitor our allowance considering future potential economic and macroeconomic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts for expected future collectability of our outstanding receivables, in addition to considering our past loss experience, current and prior trends in our aged receivables and credit memo activity. Our considerations when calculating our allowance include, but are not limited to, the following: the location of our businesses, the composition of our customer base, our product and service lines, potential future economic unrest, and potential future macroeconomic factors, including natural disasters. Continued adjustments will be made should there be any material change to reasonable and supportable forecasts that may impact our likelihood of collection, as it becomes evident. Our highly diverse global customer base, with no single customer accounting for more than approximately 1% of revenue during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, limits our exposure to concentration of credit risk. Additionally, we write off uncollectible balances as circumstances warrant, generally no later than one year past due.

The rollforward of the allowance for doubtful accounts and credit memo reserves is as follows:

F. INVENTORY

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, based on a first-in, first-out methodology. Our inventory primarily consists of IT-related assets including memory, central processing units, hard drives, adaptors and networking. All of our inventory is considered finished goods. Inventory is included as a component of Prepaid expenses and other in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. At December 31, 2022, we have inventory of approximately $11,726, net of related reserves for obsolete, excess and slow-moving inventory, related to our ALM business. We had no inventory as of December 31, 2021.

G. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents (including money market funds and time deposits) and accounts receivable. The only significant concentrations of liquid investments as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 related to cash and cash equivalents held in money market funds. As per our risk management investment policy, we limit exposure to concentration of credit risk by limiting the amount invested in any one mutual fund to a maximum of 1% of the fund's total assets or in any one financial institution to a maximum of $75,000. See Note 2.p.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

CAPITALIZED INTEREST

We capitalize interest expense during the active construction period of major capital projects. Capitalized interest is added to the cost of the underlying assets and is amortized over the useful lives of the assets. During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, capitalized interest is as follows:

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
202220212020
Capitalized interest$14,078$12,673$14,321

INTERNAL USE SOFTWARE

We develop various software applications for internal use. Computer software costs associated with internal use software are expensed as incurred until certain capitalization criteria are met. Third party consulting costs, as well as payroll and related costs for employees directly associated with, and devoting time to, the development of internal use computer software projects (to the extent time is spent directly on the project) are capitalized. Capitalization begins when the design stage of the application has been completed and it is probable that the project will be completed and used to perform the function intended. Capitalization ends when the asset is ready for its intended use. Depreciation begins when the software is placed in service. Computer software costs that are capitalized are periodically evaluated for impairment.

During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, capitalized costs associated with the development of internal use computer software projects are as follows:

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
202220212020
Capitalized costs associated with the development of internal use computer software projects$44,152$48,557$38,329

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

Entities are required to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred. Asset retirement obligations represent the costs to replace or remove tangible long-lived assets required by law, regulatory rule or contractual agreement. Our asset retirement obligations are primarily the result of requirements under our facility lease agreements which generally have "return to original condition" clauses which would require us to remove or restore items such as shred pits, vaults, demising walls and office build-outs, among others. The significant assumptions used in estimating our aggregate asset retirement obligations are the timing of removals, the probability of a requirement to perform, estimated cost and associated expected inflation rates that are consistent with historical rates and credit-adjusted risk-free rates that approximate our incremental borrowing rate. Our asset retirement obligations at December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $36,119 and $36,493, respectively, and are included in Other Long-term Liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

J. LEASES

We lease facilities for certain warehouses, data centers and office space. We also have land leases, including those on which certain facilities are located. The majority of our leased facilities are classified as operating leases that, on average, have initial lease terms of five to 10 years, with one or more lease renewal options to extend the lease term. Our lease renewal option terms generally range from one to five years. The exercise of the lease renewal option is at our sole discretion and may contain fixed rent, fair market value based rent or Consumer Price Index rent escalation clauses. We include option periods in the lease term when our failure to renew the lease would result in an economic disincentive, thereby making it reasonably certain that we will renew the lease. We recognize straight line rental expense over the life of the lease and any fair market value or Consumer Price Index rent escalations are recognized as variable lease expense in the period in which the obligation is incurred. In addition, we lease certain vehicles and equipment. Vehicle and equipment leases typically have lease terms ranging from one to seven years.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

We account for all leases, both operating and financing, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 842 Leases, ("ASC 842"). Our accounting policy provides that leases with an initial term of 12 months or less will not be included within the lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities recognized on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recognize the lease payments for those leases with an initial term of 12 months or less in our Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The lease right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities are classified as either operating or financing. Lease right-of-use assets are calculated as the net present value of future payments plus any capitalized initial direct costs less any tenant improvements or lease incentives. Lease liabilities are calculated as the net present value of future payments. In calculating the present value of the lease payments, we utilize the rate stated in the lease (in the limited circumstances when such rate is explicitly stated) or, if no rate is explicitly stated, we utilize a rate that reflects our securitized incremental borrowing rate by geography for the lease term. We account for nonlease components (which include common area maintenance, taxes, and insurance) with the related lease component. Any variable nonlease components are not included within the lease right-of-use asset and lease liability on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and instead, are reflected as an expense in the period incurred.

Operating and financing lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

DECEMBER 31,

K. LONG-LIVED ASSETS

We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the sum of the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to their carrying amount. The operations are generally distinguished by the business segment and geographic region in which they operate. If it is determined that we are unable to recover the carrying amount of the assets, the long-lived assets are written down, on a pro rata basis, to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending upon the nature of the assets. Long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, are amortized over their useful lives. Annually, or more frequently if events or circumstances warrant, we assess whether a change in the lives over which long-lived assets, including finite-lived intangible assets, are amortized is necessary.

(1) The gains recognized during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are the result of our program to monetize a small portion of our industrial assets through sale and sale-leaseback transactions. The terms for these leases are consistent with the terms of our lease portfolio, which are disclosed in Note 2.j.

L. GOODWILL AND OTHER INDEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are reviewed annually for impairment, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise. Other than goodwill, we currently have no intangible assets that have indefinite lives and which are not amortized.

We test goodwill annually on October 1, and more frequently if impairment indicators arise that would require an interim test. The following is a discussion regarding (i) interim goodwill impairment review for our Fine Arts reporting unit during the first quarter of 2020, (ii) the reporting units at which level we tested goodwill for impairment as of October 1, 2021 and the composition of these reporting units at December 31, 2021 (including the amount of goodwill associated with each reporting unit), (iii) interim reporting unit changes and goodwill impairment review during the second quarter of 2022 and (iv) the reporting units at which level we tested goodwill for impairment as of October 1, 2022 and the composition of these reporting units at December 31, 2022 (including the amount of goodwill associated with each reporting unit).

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

I. INTERIM GOODWILL IMPAIRMENT REVIEW - FINE ARTS, FIRST QUARTER OF 2020

During the first quarter of 2020, we concluded that we had a triggering event related to our Fine Arts reporting unit, requiring us to perform an interim goodwill impairment test. The primary factor contributing to our conclusion was the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to this particular business and its customers and revenue sources, which caused us to believe it was more likely than not that the carrying value of our Fine Arts reporting unit exceeded its fair value. During the first quarter of 2020, we performed an interim goodwill impairment test for our Fine Arts reporting unit utilizing a discounted cash flow model, with updated assumptions on future revenues, operating expenditures and capital expenditures. We concluded that the fair value of our Fine Arts reporting unit was less than its carrying value, and, therefore, we recorded a $23,000 impairment charge on the goodwill associated with this reporting unit during the first quarter of 2020. Factors that may impact these assumptions include, but are not limited to: (i) our ability to maintain, or grow, storage and retail service revenues in this reporting unit in line with current expectations and (ii) our ability to manage our fixed and variable costs in this reporting unit in line with potential future revenue declines.

II. REPORTING UNITS AS OF OCTOBER 1, 2021

Our reporting units at which level we performed our goodwill impairment analysis as of October 1, 2021 were as follows:

III. 2022 REPORTING UNIT CHANGES

During the second quarter of 2022, as a result of the realignment of our global managerial structure, we reassessed the composition of our reportable segments (see Note 11 for a description and definition of our reportable segments) as well as our reporting units.

We note the following changes to our reporting units as a result of the reassessment described above:
•our former Europe RIM reporting unit is now managed as two separate reporting units: (i) our Middle East, North Africa and Turkey ("MENAT") businesses will comprise our "MENAT RIM" reporting unit and (ii) our other businesses in Europe and South Africa ("ESA") will comprise our "ESA RIM" reporting unit; •our former ANZ RIM and Asia RIM reporting units are now managed as one "APAC RIM" reporting unit; and •our ALM business, which includes our legacy secure IT asset disposition business (which was previously primarily included in our North America RIM reporting unit) and the business acquired through our acquisition of Intercept Parent, Inc. ("ITRenew"), will comprise our newly formed "ALM" reporting unit.

There were no changes to our Latin America RIM, Global Data Center and Fine Arts reporting units. We have reassigned goodwill associated with the reporting units impacted by the reorganization on a relative fair value basis, where appropriate. The fair value of each of our new reporting units was determined based on the application of a combined weighted average approach of preliminary fair value multiples of revenue and earnings and discounted cash flow techniques. These fair values represent our best estimate and preliminary assessment of goodwill allocations to each of the new reporting units on a relative fair value basis. We have completed an interim goodwill impairment analysis before and after the reporting unit changes, and we have concluded that the goodwill associated with each of our reporting units was not impaired.

IV. REPORTING UNITS AS OF OCTOBER 1, 2022

Our reporting units at which level we performed our goodwill impairment analysis as of October 1, 2022 were as follows:

•North America RIM •ESA RIM •MENAT RIM •Latin America RIM •APAC RIM•Entertainment Services •Global Data Center •Fine Arts •ALM

We concluded that the goodwill associated with each of our reporting units was not impaired as of such date. There were no changes to the composition of our reporting units between October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022.

The fair value of our reporting units has generally been determined using a combined approach based on the present value of future cash flows (the "Discounted Cash Flow Model") and market multiples (the "Market Approach").

The Discounted Cash Flow Model incorporates significant assumptions including future revenue growth rates, operating margins, discount rates and capital expenditures.The Market Approach requires us to make assumptions related to Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in Note 11) multiples.

Changes in economic and operating conditions impacting these assumptions or changes in multiples could result in goodwill impairments in future periods. In conjunction with our annual goodwill impairment reviews, we reconcile the sum of the valuations of all of our reporting units to our market capitalization as of such dates.

M. FINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

I. CUSTOMER AND SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Customer and supplier relationship intangible assets, which are acquired through either business combinations or acquisitions of customer relationships, are amortized over periods ranging from 10 to 30 years. Customer and supplier relationship intangible assets are recorded based upon estimates of their fair value.

II. CUSTOMER INDUCEMENTS

Payments that are made to a customer in order to terminate the customer’s storage of records with its current records management vendor ("Permanent Withdrawal Fees"), or direct payments to a customer for which no distinct benefit is received in return, are collectively referred to as "Customer Inducements". Customer Inducements are treated as a reduction of the transaction price over periods ranging from one to 10 years and are included in storage and service revenue in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. If the customer terminates its relationship with us, the unamortized carrying value of the Customer Inducement intangible asset is charged to revenue. However, in the event of such termination, we generally collect, and record as income, Permanent Withdrawal Fees that generally equal or exceed the amount of the unamortized Customer Inducement intangible asset.

III. DATA CENTER INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

Finite-lived intangible assets associated with our Global Data Center Business consist of the following:

DATA CENTER IN-PLACE LEASE INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND DATA CENTER TENANT RELATIONSHIP INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Data Center In-Place Lease Intangible Assets ("Data Center In-Place Leases") and Data Center Tenant Relationship Intangible Assets ("Data Center Tenant Relationships") reflect the value associated with acquiring a data center operation with active tenants as of the date of acquisition. The value of Data Center In-Place Leases is determined based upon an estimate of the economic costs (such as lost revenues, tenant improvement costs, commissions, legal expenses and other costs to acquire new data center leases) avoided by acquiring a data center operation with active tenants that would have otherwise been incurred if the data center operation was purchased vacant. Data Center In-Place Leases are amortized over the weighted average remaining term of the acquired data center leases. The value of Data Center Tenant Relationships is determined based upon an estimate of the economic costs avoided upon lease renewal of the acquired tenants, based upon expectations of lease renewal. Data Center Tenant Relationships are amortized over the weighted average remaining anticipated life of the relationship with the acquired tenant.

DATA CENTER ABOVE-MARKET AND BELOW-MARKET IN-PLACE LEASE INTANGIBLE ASSETS

We record Data Center Above-Market In-Place Lease Intangible Assets ("Data Center Above-Market Leases") and Data Center Below-Market In-Place Lease Intangible Assets ("Data Center Below-Market Leases") at the net present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of the fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease. Data Center Above-Market Leases and Data Center Below-Market Leases are amortized over the remaining non-cancellable term of the acquired in-place lease to storage revenue.

The gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization of our finite-lived intangible assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, are as follows:

N. DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS

Deferred financing costs are amortized over the life of the related debt. If debt is retired early, the related unamortized deferred financing costs are written-off in the period the debt is retired to Other (income) expense, net. See Note 7.

O. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Every derivative instrument is required to be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or a liability measured at its fair value. Periodically, we acquire derivative instruments that are intended to hedge either cash flows or values that are subject to foreign exchange or other market price risk and not for trading purposes. We have formally documented our hedging relationships, including identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as our risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking each hedge transaction. Given the recurring nature of our revenues and the long-term nature of our asset base, we have the ability and the preference to use long-term, fixed interest rate debt to finance our business, thereby preserving our long-term returns on invested capital. We may use interest rate swaps as a tool to maintain our targeted level of fixed rate debt. In addition, we may enter into cross-currency swaps to hedge the variability of exchange rates between the United States dollar and the currencies of our foreign subsidiaries, as well as interest rates. We may also use borrowings in foreign currencies, either obtained in the United States or by our foreign subsidiaries, to hedge foreign currency risk associated with our international investments. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, none of our derivative instruments contained credit-risk related contingent features. See Note 6.

P. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Entities are permitted under GAAP to elect to measure certain financial instruments and certain other items at either fair value or cost. We have elected the cost measurement option in all circumstances where we had an option.

Our financial assets or liabilities that are carried at fair value are required to be measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2—Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The assets and liabilities carried at fair value and measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, are as follows:

(1)Money market funds and time deposits are measured based on quoted prices for similar assets and/or subsequent transactions.

(2)Certain trading securities are measured at fair value using quoted market prices.

(3)Certain trading securities are measured based on inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable.

(4)Derivative assets and liabilities include (i) interest rate swap agreements, including our forward-starting interest rate swap agreement, to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness and on future borrowings from our Virginia Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 7) and (ii) cross-currency swap agreements to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the United States dollar and the Euro and certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries. Our derivative financial instruments are measured using industry standard valuation models using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves, forward and spot prices for currencies and implied volatilities. Credit risk is also factored into the determination of the fair value of our derivative financial instruments. See Note 6 for additional information on our derivative financial instruments.

(5)Primarily relates to the fair value of the Deferred Purchase Obligation associated with the ITRenew Transaction (each as defined in Note 3), which was determined utilizing a Monte-Carlo model and takes into account our forecasted projections as it relates to the underlying performance of the business. The Monte-Carlo simulation model incorporates assumptions as to expected gross profits over the applicable achievement period, including adjustments for the volatility of timing and amount of the associated revenue and costs, as well as discount rates that account for the risk of the underlying arrangement and overall market risks. Any material change to these assumptions may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value of the Deferred Purchase Obligation. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we recorded a change in the estimated fair value of the Deferred Purchase Obligation as described in Note 2.v.

There were no material items that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, with the exception of: (i) the reporting units as presented in our goodwill impairment analysis (as disclosed in Note 2.l.); (ii) assets acquired and liabilities assumed through our acquisitions (as disclosed in Note 3); (iii) the redemption value of certain redeemable noncontrolling interests (as disclosed in Note 2.q.); (iv) our investments in the Frankfurt JV, the Clutter JV and the Web Werks JV (each as defined in Note 5); and (v) the fair value of our retained investment of our deconsolidated businesses (as described in Note 4), all of which are based on Level 3 inputs.

The fair value of our long-term debt, which was determined based on either Level 1 inputs or Level 3 inputs, is disclosed in Note 7. Long-term debt is measured at cost in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Q. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Certain unaffiliated third parties own noncontrolling interests in certain of our consolidated subsidiaries. The underlying agreements between us and our noncontrolling interest shareholders for these subsidiaries contain provisions under which the noncontrolling interest shareholders can require us to purchase their respective interests in such subsidiaries at certain times and at a purchase price as stipulated in the underlying agreements (generally at fair value). These put options make these noncontrolling interests redeemable and, therefore, these noncontrolling interests are classified as temporary equity outside of stockholders’ equity. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are reported at the higher of their redemption value or the noncontrolling interest holders’ proportionate share of the underlying subsidiaries net carrying value. Increases or decreases in the redemption value of the noncontrolling interest are offset against Additional Paid-in Capital.

In 2018, one of our noncontrolling interest shareholders exercised its option to put its ownership interest back to us. Upon the exercise of the put option, this noncontrolling interest became mandatorily redeemable by us, and, therefore, was accounted for as a liability rather than a component of redeemable noncontrolling interests. In May 2021, we agreed to final settlement terms and paid the put option price for the noncontrolling interest shares.

S. REVENUES

Our revenues consist of storage rental revenues as well as service revenues and are reflected net of sales and value-added taxes. Storage rental revenues, which are considered a key driver of financial performance for the storage and information management services industry, consist primarily of recurring periodic rental charges related to the storage of materials or data (generally on a per unit basis) that are typically retained by customers for many years and revenues associated with our data center operations. Service revenues include charges for related service activities, the most significant of which include: (1) the handling of records, including the addition of new records, temporary removal of records from storage, refiling of removed records, customer termination and permanent withdrawal fees, project revenues and courier operations, consisting primarily of the pickup and delivery of records upon customer request; (2) destruction services, consisting primarily of (i) secure shredding of sensitive documents and the subsequent sale of shredded paper for recycling, the price of which can fluctuate from period to period, and (ii) the decommissioning, data erasure, processing and disposition or sale of IT hardware and component assets; (3) digital solutions, including the scanning, imaging and document conversion services of active and inactive records, and consulting services; and (4) data center services, including set up, monitoring and support of our customers' assets which are protected in our data center facilities, and special project services, including data center fitout.

We account for our revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), with the exception of our data center revenue, as described below. Customers are generally billed monthly based on contractually agreed-upon terms, and storage rental and service revenues are recognized in the month the respective storage rental or service is provided, in line with the transfer of control to the customer. When storage rental fees or services are billed in advance, amounts related to future storage rental or prepaid service contracts are accounted for as deferred revenue and recognized upon the transfer of control to the customer, generally ratably over the contract term. Customer contracts generally include promises to provide monthly recurring storage and related services that are essentially the same over time and have the same pattern of transfer of control to the customer; therefore, most performance obligations represent a promise to deliver a series of distinct services over time (as determined for purposes of ASC 606, a "series"). For those contracts that qualify as a series, we apply the "right to invoice" practical expedient as we have a right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the underlying performance obligation transferred to the customer to date. Additionally, each purchasing decision is fully in the control of the customer; therefore, consideration beyond the current reporting period is variable and allocated to the specific period to which the consideration relates, which is consistent with the practical expedient. Revenue from product sales, the significant majority of which are shred paper and IT asset sales, is recognized at the point in time at which control transfers to the customer, which is generally upon shipment.

Our Global Data Center Business features storage rental provided to the customer at contractually specified rates over a fixed contractual period. Storage rental revenue related to the storage component of our Global Data Center Business is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract term in accordance with ASC 842. The revenue related to the service component of our Global Data Center Business is recognized in the period the related services are provided.

The costs associated with the initial movement of customer records into physical storage and certain commissions are considered costs to obtain or fulfill customer contracts ("Contract Fulfillment Costs"). The following describes our significant Contract Fulfillment Costs:

INTAKE COSTS (AND ASSOCIATED DEFERRED REVENUE)

The costs of the initial intake of customer records into physical storage ("Intake Costs") are deferred and amortized as a component of depreciation and amortization in our Consolidated Statements of Operations generally over three years, consistent with the transfer of the performance obligation to the customer to which the asset relates. In instances where such Intake Costs are billed to the customer, the associated revenue is deferred and recognized over the same three-year period.

COMMISSIONS

Certain commission payments that are directly associated with the fulfillment of long-term contracts are capitalized and amortized as a component of depreciation and amortization in our Consolidated Statements of Operations generally over three years, consistent with the transfer of the performance obligation to the customer to which the asset relates. Certain direct commission payments associated with contracts with a duration of one year or less are expensed as incurred under the practical expedient which allows an entity to expense as incurred an incremental cost of obtaining a contract if the amortization period of the asset that the entity otherwise would have recognized is one year or less.

DATA CENTER LESSOR CONSIDERATIONS

Our Global Data Center Business features storage rental provided to customers at contractually specified rates over a fixed contractual period. Our data center revenue contracts are accounted for in accordance with ASC 842. ASC 842 provides a practical expedient which allows lessors to account for nonlease components (such as power and connectivity, in the case of our Global Data Center Business) with the related lease component if both the timing and pattern of transfer are the same for nonlease components and the lease component, and the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. The single combined component is accounted for under ASC 842 if the lease component is the predominant component and is accounted for under ASC 606 if the nonlease components are the predominant components. We have elected to take this practical expedient. Our data center revenue contracts may contain Consumer Price Index rent escalation clauses. Consumer Price Index rent escalation clauses are recognized as income in the period earned.

Storage rental revenue, including revenue associated with power and connectivity, associated with our Global Data Center Business for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

The revenue related to the service component of our Global Data Center Business is recognized in the period the related services are provided.

T. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

We record stock-based compensation expense, utilizing the straight-line method, for the cost of stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and performance units ("PUs") (together, "Employee Stock-Based Awards").

2022 RETIREMENT ELIGIBLE CRITERIA

For our Employee Stock-Based Awards made on or after March 1, 2022, we have included the following retirement provision:

  • Upon an employee’s retirement on or after attaining age 55 with at least five years of service, if the sum of (i) the award recipient’s age at retirement and (ii) the award recipient’s years of service with us totals at least 65, the award recipient is entitled to continued vesting of any outstanding Employee Stock-Based Awards, provided that their retirement occurs on or after a minimum of six months from the grant date (the "Retirement Criteria").

  • Accordingly, (i) grants of Employee Stock-Based Awards to an employee who has met the Retirement Criteria on or before the date of grant, or will meet the Retirement Criteria before the six month anniversary in the year of the grant, will be expensed over six months from the date of grant and (ii) grants of Employee Stock-Based Awards to employees who will meet the Retirement Criteria during the award’s normal vesting period will be expensed between the date of grant and the date upon which the award recipient meets the Retirement Criteria.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

  • Stock options and RSUs granted to award recipients who meet the Retirement Criteria will be delivered to the award recipient based upon the original vesting schedule. If an award recipient retires and has met the Retirement Criteria, stock options will remain exercisable until the original expiration date of the stock options. PUs granted to award recipients who meet the Retirement Criteria will be delivered in accordance with the original vesting schedule of the applicable PU award and remain subject to the same performance conditions.

Stock-based compensation expense for Employee Stock-Based Awards included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

Stock-based compensation expense, after tax52,60059,24336,584

The substantial majority of stock-based compensation expense for Employee Stock-Based Awards is included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

STOCK OPTIONS

Options are generally granted with exercise prices equal to the market price of the stock on the date of grant; however, in certain instances, options are granted at prices greater than the market price of the stock on the date of grant. The substantial majority of options we issue become exercisable ratably over a period three years from the date of grant and have a contractual life of 10 years from the date of grant, unless the holder’s employment is terminated sooner. Our non-employee directors are considered employees for purposes of our stock option plans and stock option reporting.

Our stock options outstanding at December 31, 2022 are based on the three-year vesting period (10 year contractual life) described above.

Our equity compensation plans generally provide that, upon a vesting change in control (as defined in each plan), any unvested options and other awards granted thereunder shall vest immediately if an employee is terminated as a result of the change in control or terminates their own employment for good reason (as defined in each plan). On January 20, 2015, our stockholders approved the adoption of the Iron Mountain Incorporated 2014 Stock and Cash Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2014 Plan").

In May 2021, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2014 Plan to (i) increase the number of shares of our common stock authorized for issuance thereunder by 8,000,000 from 12,750,000 to 20,750,000, (ii) extend the termination date of the 2014 Plan from May 24, 2027 to May 12, 2031, (iii) provide that, other than in specified circumstances, no equity-based award will vest before the first anniversary of the date of grant and (iv) provide that dividends and dividend equivalents are not paid with respect to stock options or stock appreciation rights.

A total of 20,750,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for grants of options and other rights under our various stock incentive plans, including the 2014 Plan. The number of shares available for grant under our various stock incentive plans at December 31, 2022 was 7,981,518.

(2)Risk-free interest rate is based on the United States Treasury interest rates whose term is consistent with the expected life (estimated period of time outstanding) of the stock options.

(3)Expected dividend yield is considered in the option pricing model and represents our current annualized expected per share dividends over the current trade price of our common stock.

(4)Expected life of the stock options granted is estimated using the historical exercise behavior of employees.

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS

Our RSUs generally have a vesting period of three years from the date of grant. However, RSUs granted to our non-employee directors vest immediately upon grant. All RSUs accrue dividend equivalents associated with the underlying stock as we declare dividends. Dividends will generally be paid to holders of RSUs in cash upon the vesting date of the associated RSU and will be forfeited if the RSU does not vest. The fair value of RSUs is the excess of the market price of our common stock at the date of grant over the holder's purchase price (which is typically zero).

The fair value of RSUs vested during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, are as follows:

PERFORMANCE UNITS

The PUs we issue vest based on our performance against predefined operational and share based targets. The vesting is subject to a minimum level of return on invested capital in the third year of the performance period, and thereafter the number of PUs earned is based on (i) the revenue performance for each year averaged at the end of the three-year performance period, (ii) the total return on our common stock in relation to the MSCI United States REIT Index and (iii) for grants issued in 2021 and 2020, the revenue exit rate of new products in the last quarter of the three-year performance period. The number of PUs earned may range from 0% to approximately 238% of the initial award.

All of our PUs will be settled in shares of our common stock and are subject to cliff vesting three years from the date of the original PU grant. PUs are generally expensed over the three-year performance period. As detailed above, PUs granted are subject to the Retirement Criteria. PUs granted to recipients who meet the Retirement Criteria will continue to vest and be delivered in accordance with the original vesting schedule of the applicable PU award and remain subject to the same performance conditions.

All PUs accrue dividend equivalents associated with the underlying stock as we declare dividends. Dividends will generally be paid to holders of PUs in cash upon the settlement date of the associated PU and will be forfeited if the PU does not vest.

During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we issued 435,675, 488,953 and 425,777 PUs, respectively. We forecast the likelihood of achieving the predefined targets for our PUs in order to calculate the expected PUs to be earned. We record a compensation charge based on either the forecasted PUs to be earned (during the performance period) or the actual PUs earned (at the three-year anniversary of the grant date) over the vesting period for each of the awards. The fair value of PUs based on our performance against predefined targets is the excess of the market price of our common stock at the date of grant over the purchase price (which is typically zero). For PUs earned based on a market condition, we utilize a Monte Carlo simulation to fair value these awards at the date of grant, and such fair value is expensed over the three-year performance period.

The fair value of earned PUs that vested during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, is as follows:

EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

We offer an Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP") in which participation is available to substantially all United States and Canadian employees who meet certain service eligibility requirements. Shares of our common stock may be purchased by eligible employees at six-month intervals at 95% of the fair market price at the end of each six-month period, without a look-back feature, up to a maximum of 15% of their gross compensation during the offering period. We do not recognize compensation expense for the ESPP shares purchased. In May 2021, our stockholders approved an amendment to the ESPP to increase the number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance thereunder from 1,000,000 to 2,000,000. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, there were 112,486, 112,297 and 159,853 shares, respectively, purchased under the ESPP. As of December 31, 2022, we have 991,504 shares available under the ESPP.

As of December 31, 2022, unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested portion of our Employee Stock-Based Awards was $49,455 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

We issue shares of our common stock for the exercises of stock options, and the vesting of RSUs, PUs and shares of our common stock under our ESPP from unissued reserved shares.

U. ACQUISITION AND INTEGRATION COSTS

Acquisition and integration costs represent operating expenditures directly associated with the closing and integration activities of our business acquisitions that have closed, or are highly probable of closing, and include (i) advisory, legal and professional fees to complete business acquisitions and (ii) costs to integrate acquired businesses into our existing operations, including move, severance and system integration costs (collectively, "Acquisition and Integration Costs"). Acquisition and integration costs for the year ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $47,746, $12,764 and $0, respectively.

W. INCOME TAXES

Accounting for income taxes requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of assets and liabilities and for loss and credit carryforwards. Valuation allowances are provided when recovery of deferred tax assets does not meet the more likely than not standard as defined in GAAP. We have elected to recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of the Provision (benefit) for income taxes in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

X. INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE—BASIC AND DILUTED

Basic income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share is consistent with that of basic income (loss) per share but gives effect to all potential common shares (that is, securities such as stock options, RSUs, PUs, warrants or convertible securities) that were outstanding during the period, unless the effect is antidilutive.

Y. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

NOT YET ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2021-08"). ASU 2021-08 requires that an entity recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with ASU 2014-09 and for the related revenue contracts in accordance with ASU 2014-09 as if it had originated the contracts. ASU 2021-08 will be effective for us on January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect ASU 2021-08 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements upon its adoption.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) ("ASU 2020-04"). ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions, for a limited period of time, to ease the potential burden of recognizing the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 apply to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to the global transition away from LIBOR and certain other interbank offered rates. Under ASU 2020-04, an entity could elect to apply the amendments beginning March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 ("ASU 2022-06") to defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the relief in Topic 848. We are currently evaluating these amendments as they relate to our contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR, as well as the impact of ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2022-06 on our consolidated financial statements, but we do not expect the impact to be material.

3. ACQUISITIONS

We account for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, and, accordingly, the assets and liabilities acquired are recorded at their estimated fair values and the results of operations for each acquisition have been included in our consolidated results from their respective acquisition dates.

A. ACQUISITIONS COMPLETED DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2022

ITRENEW

On January 25, 2022, in order to expand our ALM operations, we acquired an approximately 80% interest in ITRenew at an agreed upon purchase price of $725,000, subject to certain working capital adjustments at, and subsequent to, the closing (the "ITRenew Transaction"). At closing, we paid $748,846 and acquired $30,720 of cash on hand, for a net purchase price of $718,126 for the ITRenew Transaction. The acquisition agreement provides us the option to purchase, and provides the shareholders of ITRenew the option to sell, the remaining approximately 20% interest in ITRenew as follows: (i) approximately 16% on or after the second anniversary of the ITRenew Transaction and (ii) approximately 4% on or after the third anniversary of the ITRenew Transaction (collectively, the "Remaining Interests"). The total payments for the Remaining Interests, based on the achievement of certain targeted performance metrics, will be no less than $200,000 and no more than $531,000 (the "Deferred Purchase Obligation"). From January 25, 2022, we consolidate 100% of the revenues and expenses associated with this business. The Deferred Purchase Obligation is reflected as a long-term liability in our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2022, and, accordingly, we have not reflected any non-controlling interests associated with the ITRenew Transaction as the Remaining Interests have non-substantive equity interest rights. Subsequent increases or decreases in the fair value estimate of the Deferred Purchase Obligation are included as a component of Other (income) expense, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations until the Deferred Purchase Obligation is settled or paid. See Note 2.v.

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited consolidated pro forma financial information (the "Pro Forma Financial Information") below summarizes the combined results of Iron Mountain and ITRenew on a pro forma basis as if the ITRenew Transaction had occurred on January 1, 2021. The Pro Forma Financial Information is presented for informational purposes and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that would have been achieved if the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2021. The Pro Forma Financial Information, for the periods presented, includes purchase accounting adjustments (including amortization of acquired customer and supplier intangible assets and depreciation of acquired property, plant and equipment) and related tax effects. Through December 31, 2022, we and ITRenew collectively incurred $59,370 of operating expenditures to complete the ITRenew Transaction (including advisory and professional fees). These operating expenditures have been reflected within the results of operations in the Pro Forma Financial Information as if they were incurred on January 1, 2021.

In addition to our acquisition of ITRenew, we completed certain other acquisitions during the years ended December 2022, 2021 and 2020. The Pro Forma Financial Information does not reflect these acquisitions due to the insignificant impact of these acquisitions on our consolidated results of operations.

XDATA PROPERTIES

On October 5, 2022, in order to further expand our data center operations in Europe, we completed the acquisition of XData Properties S.L.U., a data center colocation space and solutions provider with a data center in Spain, which we accounted for as an asset acquisition, for (i) cash consideration of 78,900 Euros (or approximately $78,200, based upon the exchange rate between the Euro and the United States dollar on the closing date of this acquisition), subject to adjustments, and (ii) up to 10,000 Euros (or approximately $9,900, based upon the exchange rate between the Euro and the United States dollar on the closing date of this acquisition) of additional consideration, payable based on the achievement of certain power connection milestones through December 2024.

OTHER 2022 ACQUISITIONS

In addition to the transactions noted above, during the year ended December 31, 2022, in order to enhance our existing operations in Morocco and expand our fine arts operations in China - Hong Kong S.A.R. and North America, we completed the acquisition of a records management company, a fine arts company and the assets of a second fine arts company, for a total combined purchase price of approximately $11,600, including deferred purchase obligations, purchase price holdbacks and other deferred payments of approximately $4,600.

B. ACQUISITIONS COMPLETED DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2021

On September 15, 2021, in order to further expand our records management operations in the Middle East and North Africa, we acquired Information Fort, LLC, a records and information management provider, for approximately $90,300.

On September 23, 2021, in order to further enhance our data center operations in Germany, we completed the acquisition of assets of a Frankfurt data center for approximately 77,900 Euros (or approximately $91,300, based upon the exchange rate between the Euro and the United States dollar on the closing date of this acquisition).

In addition to the transactions noted above, during the year ended December 31, 2021, in order to enhance our existing operations in the United Kingdom and Indonesia and to expand our operations into Morocco, we completed the acquisition of two records management companies and one art storage company for total cash consideration of approximately $45,100.

C. ACQUISITIONS COMPLETED DURING THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2020

Prior to January 9, 2020, we owned a 25% equity interest in OSG Records Management (Europe) Limited ("OSG"). On January 9, 2020, we acquired the remaining 75% equity interest in OSG for cash consideration of approximately $95,500 (the "OSG Acquisition"). The OSG Acquisition enabled us to extend our Global RIM Business in Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Belarus, and Armenia. The results of OSG are fully consolidated within our consolidated financial statements from the closing date of the OSG Acquisition. In connection with the OSG Acquisition, our previously held 25% equity investment in OSG was remeasured to fair value at the closing date of the OSG Acquisition; as a result, we recorded a gain of approximately $10,000 during the first quarter of 2020, which is included as a component of Other (income) expense, net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the 25% equity investment in OSG was determined based on the purchase price of the OSG Acquisition.

On February 17, 2020, in order to enhance our existing operations in the United Arab Emirates, we acquired Glenbeigh Records Management DWC-LLC, a storage and records management company, for total cash consideration of approximately $29,100.

(2)In 2022, Deferred purchase obligation, purchase price holdbacks and other includes $275,100 related to the original fair value estimate of the Deferred Purchase Obligation for the Remaining Interests and approximately $13,600 of deferred purchase obligation, purchase price holdbacks and other associated with our other business and asset acquisitions completed in 2022.

(3)The weighted average lives of customer and supplier relationship intangible assets associated with acquisitions in 2022, 2021 and 2020 was 12 years, 11 years and 14 years, respectively.

(4)The weighted average lives of data center Iease-based intangible assets associated with acquisitions in 2022 and 2021 was four years and five years, respectively.

(5)The weighted average lives of other intangible assets associated with acquisitions in 2022 was five years.

Allocations of the purchase price for acquisitions are based on estimates of the fair value of the net assets acquired and are subject to adjustment upon the finalization of the purchase price allocations. The accounting for business combinations requires estimates and judgments regarding expectations for future cash flows of the acquired business, and the allocations of those cash flows to identifiable tangible and intangible assets, in determining the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair values assigned to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent consideration, are based on management’s best estimates and assumptions, as well as other information compiled by management, including valuations that utilize customary valuation procedures and techniques. The estimates and assumptions underlying the initial valuations are subject to the collection of information necessary to complete the valuations within the measurement periods, which are up to one year from the respective acquisition dates.

3. ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)

As the valuation of certain assets and liabilities for purposes of purchase price allocations are preliminary in nature, they are subject to adjustment as additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances regarding these assets and liabilities that existed at the acquisition date. Any adjustments to our estimates of purchase price allocation will be made in the periods in which the adjustments are determined and the cumulative effect of such adjustments will be calculated as if the adjustments had been completed as of the acquisition dates. Purchase price allocation adjustments recorded during the fourth quarter of 2022 and year ended December 31, 2022 were not material to our balance sheet or results from operations.

4. DIVESTMENTS AND DECONSOLIDATIONS

OSG RECORDS MANAGEMENT (EUROPE) LIMITED DECONSOLIDATION

On March 24, 2022, as a result of our loss of control, we deconsolidated the businesses included in our acquisition of OSG, excluding Ukraine ("OSG Deconsolidation"). We recognized a loss of approximately $105,800 associated with the deconsolidation to Other (income) expense, net in the first quarter of 2022 representing the difference between the net asset value prior to the deconsolidation and the subsequent remeasurement of the retained investment to a fair value of zero. We have concluded that the deconsolidation does not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements, as it does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results. Accordingly, the revenues and expenses associated with these businesses are presented as a component of Operating income (loss) in our Consolidated Statements of Operations through the date of deconsolidation and the cash flows associated with these businesses are presented as a component of Cash flows from operations in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows through the date of the deconsolidation.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT BUSINESS DIVESTMENT

On June 7, 2021, we sold our Intellectual Property Management ("IPM") business, which we predominantly operated in the United States, for total gross consideration of approximately $215,400 (the "IPM Divestment"). As a result of the IPM Divestment, we recorded a gain on sale of approximately $179,000 to Other (income) expense, net during the year ended December 31, 2021, representing the excess of the fair value of the consideration received over the sum of the carrying value of the IPM business. We have concluded that the IPM Divestment does not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements, as our decision to divest this business does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our operations and financial results.

CLUTTER JOINT VENTURE

In February 2022, the joint venture formed by MakeSpace Labs, Inc. and us (the "MakeSpace JV") entered into an agreement with Clutter, Inc. ("Clutter") pursuant to which the equityholders of the MakeSpace JV contributed their ownership interests in the MakeSpace JV and Clutter’s shareholders contributed their ownership interests in Clutter to create a newly formed venture (the "Clutter JV"). In exchange for our 49.99% interest in the MakeSpace JV, we received an approximate 27% interest in the Clutter JV (the "Clutter Transaction"). As a result of the Clutter Transaction, we recognized a gain related to our contributed interest in the MakeSpace JV of approximately $35,800, which was recorded to Other, net, a component of Other expense (income), net during the year ended December 31, 2022.

WEB WERKS JOINT VENTURE

In April 2021, we closed on an agreement to form a joint venture (the "Web Werks JV") with the shareholders of Web Werks India Private Limited ("Web Werks"), a colocation data center provider in India. In connection with the formation of the Web Werks JV, we made an initial investment of approximately 3,750,000 Indian rupees (or approximately $50,100, based upon the exchange rate between the United States dollar and Indian rupee on the closing date of the initial investment) in exchange for a noncontrolling interest in the form of convertible preference shares in the Web Werks JV (the "Initial Web Werks JV Investment"). In August 2022, we made an additional investment of approximately 3,750,000 Indian rupees (or approximately $46,100, based upon the exchange rate between the United States dollar and Indian rupee on the date of the additional investment) in exchange for an additional interest in the form of convertible preference shares in the Web Werks JV (the "Second Web Werks JV Investment"). Under the terms of the Web Werks JV shareholder agreement, we are required to make an additional investment of approximately 3,750,000 Indian rupees by May 2023. The shares we received from the Initial Web Werks JV Investment and the Second Web Werks JV Investment converted to 382,574 equity shares, representing a 53.58% ownership in the JV as of December 31, 2022, determined by a valuation based upon the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") of the Web Werks JV for the trailing twelve months ending July 31, 2022. Subsequent to the Second Web Werks JV Investment, the shareholders of Web Werks retained control of the financial and operating decisions of the Web Werks JV through their control of Web Werks JV's board of directors. As we do not control the board of directors or the key management decisions of the Web Werks JV, we account for our interest in the Web Werks JV as an equity method investment.

FRANKFURT JOINT VENTURE

In October 2020, we formed a joint venture (the "Frankfurt JV") with AGC Equity Partners ("AGC") to design and develop a 280,000 square foot, 27 megawatt, hyperscale data center, which is currently under development in Frankfurt, Germany (the "Frankfurt JV Transaction"). AGC acquired an 80% equity interest in the Frankfurt JV, while we retained a 20% equity interest (the "Frankfurt JV Investment"). The total cash consideration for the 80% equity interest sold to AGC was approximately $105,000. We received approximately $93,300 (gross of certain transaction expenses) upon the closing of the Frankfurt JV, and we are entitled to receive an additional approximately $11,700 upon the completion of development of the data center, which we expect to occur in the first quarter of 2023. In connection with the Frankfurt JV Transaction, we also entered into agreements whereby we will earn various fees, including property management and construction and development fees, for services we are providing to the Frankfurt JV.

As a result of the Frankfurt JV Transaction, we recognized a gain during the year ended December 31, 2020 of approximately $24,100, representing the excess of the fair value of the consideration received over the carrying value of the assets, which consisted primarily of land and land development assets which were previously included within our Global Data Center Business segment.

JOINT VENTURE SUMMARY

The joint ventures referred to above are accounted for as equity method investments and are presented as a component of Other within Other assets, net in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The carrying values and equity interests in our joint ventures at December 31, 2022 and 2021 are as follows:

6. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Derivative instruments we are party to include: (i) interest rate swap agreements (which are designated as cash flow hedges) and (ii) cross-currency swap agreements (which are designated as net investment hedges).

INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS DESIGNATED AS CASH FLOW HEDGES

In November 2022, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on future borrowings under our Virginia Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 7). The forward-starting interest rate swap agreement commences in July 2023 and expires in October 2025 (the "October 2025 Interest Rate Swap Agreement"). The October 2025 Interest Rate Swap Agreement has an initial notional value of $4,800, which is contracted to increase in monthly increments beginning in August 2023 to June 2025 to a total notional value of $153,800. Under the October 2025 Interest Rate Swap Agreement, we will receive variable rate interest payments based upon SOFR, in exchange for the payment of a fixed interest rate as specified in the October 2025 Interest Rate Swap Agreement.

In March 2018, we entered into interest rate swap agreements to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness. These swap agreements expired in March 2022. In July 2019, we entered into forward-starting interest rate swap agreements to limit our exposure to changes in interest rates on a portion of our floating rate indebtedness. These forward-starting interest rate swap agreements commenced in March 2022. As of December 31, 2022 we have $350,000 in notional value outstanding on these interest rate swap agreements, which expire in March 2024 (the "March 2024 Interest Rate Swap Agreements"). Under the March 2024 Interest Rate Swap Agreements, we receive variable rate interest payments associated with the notional amount of each interest rate swap, based upon one-month LIBOR, in exchange for the payment of fixed interest rates as specified in the March 2024 Interest Rate Swap Agreements.

We have designated each of the interest rate swap agreements described above as cash flow hedges. These interest rate swap agreements are marked to market at the end of each reporting period, representing the fair values of the interest rate swap agreements, and any changes in fair value are recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive items, net. Unrealized gains are recognized as assets, while unrealized losses are recognized as liabilities.

CROSS-CURRENCY SWAP AGREEMENTS DESIGNATED AS A HEDGE OF NET INVESTMENT

In August 2019, we entered into cross-currency swap agreements to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the United States dollar and the Euro. Under the terms of the cross-currency swap agreements, we notionally exchanged $110,000 at an interest rate of 6.0% for approximately 99,055 Euros at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.65%. These cross-currency swap agreements expire in August 2023 (the "August 2023 Cross Currency Swap Agreements"). In October 2022, one of these August 2023 Cross Currency Swap Agreements was amended to increase the notional value exchanged from approximately 49,500 Euros at an interest rate of 3.6% to approximately 55,466 Euros at an interest rate of (9.5%), resulting in a total notional value exchanged under the August 2023 Cross Currency Swap Agreements of approximately 105,020 Euros at a weighted average interest rate of approximately (3.3%).

In September 2020, we entered into cross-currency swap agreements to hedge the variability of exchange rate impacts between the United States dollar and the Euro. Under the terms of these cross-currency swap agreements, we notionally exchanged approximately $359,200 at an interest rate of 4.5% for 300,000 Euros at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 3.4%. These cross-currency swap agreements expire in February 2026 (the "February 2026 Cross Currency Swap Agreements"). In May 2022, the February 2026 Cross-Currency Swap Agreements were amended to increase the notional value exchanged to approximately 340,500 Euros at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.2%. In October 2022, the February 2026 Cross-Currency Swap Agreements were further amended to increase the notional value exchanged to approximately 362,083 Euros at a weighted average interest rate of approximately 0.2%.

6. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

We have designated these cross-currency swap agreements as hedges of net investments in certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries and they require an exchange of the notional amounts at maturity. These cross-currency swap agreements are marked to market at the end of each reporting period, representing the fair values of the cross-currency swap agreements, and any changes in fair value are recognized as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive items, net. Unrealized gains are recognized as assets while unrealized losses are recognized as liabilities. The excluded component of our cross-currency swap agreements is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive items, net and amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis.

Net assets (liabilities) recognized in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, by derivative instrument, are as follows:

EURO NOTES DESIGNATED AS A HEDGE OF NET INVESTMENT

Prior to their redemption in August 2020, we designated a portion of our Euro Notes as a hedge of net investment of certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries. From January 1, 2020 through the date of redemption we designated, on average, 300,000 Euros, of our Euro Notes as a hedge of net investment of certain of our Euro denominated subsidiaries. As a result, for the year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded a foreign exchange loss of $17,005 related to the change in fair value of such debt due to currency translation adjustments as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive items, net. As of December 31, 2022, cumulative net gains of $3,256, net of tax, are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive items, net associated with this net investment hedge.

A. CREDIT AGREEMENT

Our credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") consists of a revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility"), a term loan A (the "Term Loan A") and a term loan B (the "Term Loan B"). On March 18, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the Credit Agreement which included the following changes:

(i) extended the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan A from June 3, 2023 to March 18, 2027;

(ii) refinanced and increased the borrowing capacity that IMI and certain of its United States and foreign subsidiaries are able to borrow under the Revolving Credit Facility from $1,750,000 to $2,250,000;

(iii) refinanced the existing Term Loan A with a new $250,000 Term Loan A; and

(iv) increased the net total lease adjusted leverage ratio maximum allowable from 6.5x to 7.0x and removed the net secured lease adjusted leverage ratio requirement.

The Revolving Credit Facility enables IMI and certain of its subsidiaries to borrow in United States dollars and (subject to sublimits) Canadian dollars in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed $2,250,000. Additionally, the Credit Agreement permits us to incur incremental indebtedness thereunder by adding new term loans or revolving loans or by increasing the principal amount of any existing loans thereunder. The Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan A are scheduled to mature on March 18, 2027, at which point all obligations become due. On March 18, 2022, we borrowed the full amount of the Term Loan A of $250,000. The Term Loan A is to be paid in quarterly installments in an amount equal to $3,125 per quarter. IMI’s wholly owned subsidiary, Iron Mountain Information Management, LLC ("IMIM"), is the borrower under the Term Loan B, which has a principal amount of $700,000. The Term Loan B, which matures on January 2, 2026, was issued at 99.75% of par. Principal payments on the Term Loan B are to be paid in quarterly installments of $1,750.

7. DEBT (CONTINUED)

IMI and certain subsidiaries of IMI that represent the substantial majority of our operations in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom guarantee all obligations under the Credit Agreement. The interest rate on borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility varies depending on our choice of interest rate benchmark and currency options, plus an applicable margin, which varies based on our consolidated leverage ratio. The Term Loan A bears interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.1% plus 1.75%. The Term Loan B bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%. Additionally, the Credit Agreement requires the payment of a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility, which fee ranges from 0.2% to 0.3% based on our consolidated leverage ratio.

As of December 31, 2022, we had $1,072,200, $240,625 and $666,073 outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan A and the Term Loan B, respectively. At December 31, 2022, we had various outstanding letters of credit totaling $3,824 under the Revolving Credit Facility. The remaining amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2022, which is based on IMI’s leverage ratio, the last 12 months' earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and rent expense ("EBITDAR"), other adjustments as defined in the Credit Agreement and current external debt, was $1,173,976 (which amount represents the maximum availability as of such date). Available borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are subject to compliance with our indenture covenants as discussed below. The weighted average interest rate in effect under the Revolving Credit Facility as of December 31, 2022 was 6.2%. The interest rate in effect under the Term Loan A as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 was 6.2% and 1.9%, respectively.

B. VIRGINIA CREDIT AGREEMENT

On October 31, 2022, Iron Mountain Data Centers Virginia 4/5 Subsidiary, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Iron Mountain Data Centers Virginia 4/5 JV, LP, entered into a credit agreement (the "Virginia Credit Agreement") in order to finance the construction of two data center facilities in Virginia. The Virginia Credit Agreement consists of a term loan and a letter of credit facility with the first borrowing under the term loan expected to occur in the third quarter of 2023. Borrowings under the Virginia Credit Agreement are guaranteed by Iron Mountain Data Centers Virginia 4/5 JV, LP, a special purpose vehicle, and not by IMI or any other subsidiary of IMI. We have the option to borrow, in the form of term loans, an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed approximately $205,000. At December 31, 2022, we had approximately $6,400 in outstanding letters of credit under the Virginia Credit Agreement. The Virginia Credit Agreement requires the payment of a commitment fee on any unused commitments at a rate of 0.4875%. We have the option to select between various base rates for any given borrowing under the Virginia Credit Agreement, and the interest rate and applicable margin on such borrowings vary depending on the chosen base rate. The Virginia Credit Agreement is scheduled to mature on October 31, 2025, at which point all obligations will become due. We have two one-year options that allow us to extend the maturity date beyond the October 31, 2025 expiration date, subject to the conditions specified in the Virginia Credit Agreement, including the lender's consent. As of December 31, 2022, we have no outstanding borrowings under the Virginia Credit Agreement.

D. AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR TERM LOAN

Iron Mountain Australia Group Pty, Ltd. ("IM Australia"), a wholly owned subsidiary of IMI, has an AUD term loan with an original principal balance of 350,000 Australian dollars ("AUD Term Loan"). All indebtedness associated with the AUD Term Loan was issued at 99% of par. Principal payments on the AUD Term Loan are to be paid in quarterly installments in an aggregate amount of 7,695 Australian dollars per year. On March 18, 2022, IM Australia amended its AUD Term Loan to (i) extend the maturity date from September 22, 2022 to September 30, 2026 and (ii) decrease the interest rate from BBSY (an Australian benchmark variable interest rate) plus 3.875% to BBSY plus 3.625%.

As of December 31, 2022, we had 300,117 Australian dollars ($204,623 based upon the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as of December 31, 2022) outstanding on the AUD Term Loan. As of December 31, 2021, we had 307,813 Australian dollars ($223,530 based upon the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the Australian dollar as of December 31, 2021) outstanding on the AUD Term Loan.

E. UK BILATERAL REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

IM UK and Iron Mountain (UK) Data Centre Limited (collectively, the "UK Borrowers") have a 140,000 British pounds sterling Revolving Credit Facility (the "UK Bilateral Revolving Credit Facility") with Barclays Bank PLC. The maximum amount permitted to be borrowed under the UK Bilateral Revolving Credit Facility is 140,000 British pounds sterling. We have the option to request additional commitments of up to 125,000 British pounds sterling, subject to conditions specified in the UK Bilateral Revolving Credit Facility. The UK Bilateral Revolving Credit Facility is secured by certain properties in the United Kingdom. IMI and subsidiaries of IMI that represent the substantial majority of our operations in the United States and the United Kingdom guarantee all obligations under the UK Bilateral Revolving Credit Facility. The UK Bilateral Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at the Sterling Overnight Index Average plus 2.0%.

The UK Bilateral Revolving Credit Facility was previously scheduled to mature on September 24, 2023, at which point all obligations were to become due, with the option to extend the maturity date for an additional year, subject to the conditions specified in the UK Bilateral Revolving Credit Facility, including the lender’s consent. On September 22, 2022, the UK Borrowers exercised their option to extend the maturity date from September 24, 2023 to September 24, 2024. The UK Bilateral Revolving Credit Facility was fully drawn as of December 31, 2022.

F. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SECURITIZATION PROGRAM

We participate in an accounts receivable securitization program (the "Accounts Receivable Securitization Program") involving several of our wholly owned subsidiaries and certain financial institutions. Under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program, certain of our subsidiaries sell substantially all of their United States accounts receivable balances to our wholly owned special purpose entities, Iron Mountain Receivables QRS, LLC and Iron Mountain Receivables TRS, LLC (the "Accounts Receivable Securitization Special Purpose Subsidiaries"). The Accounts Receivable Securitization Special Purpose Subsidiaries use the accounts receivable balances to collateralize loans obtained from certain financial institutions. The Accounts Receivable Securitization Special Purpose Subsidiaries are consolidated subsidiaries of IMI. The Accounts Receivable Securitization Program is accounted for as a collateralized financing activity, rather than a sale of assets, and therefore: (i) accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral are presented as assets and borrowings are presented as liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, (ii) our Consolidated Statements of Operations reflect the associated charges for bad debt expense related to pledged accounts receivable (a component of selling, general and administrative expenses) and reductions to revenue due to billing and service related credit memos issued to customers and related reserves, as well as interest expense associated with the collateralized borrowings and (iii) receipts from customers related to the underlying accounts receivable are reflected as operating cash flows and borrowings and repayments under the collateralized loans are reflected as financing cash flows within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. IMIM retains the responsibility of servicing the accounts receivable balances pledged as collateral for the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program and IMI provides a performance guaranty. The maximum availability allowed is limited by eligible accounts receivable, as defined under the terms of the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.

On June 29, 2022, we amended the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program to (i) increase the maximum borrowing capacity from $300,000 to $325,000, with an option to increase the borrowing capacity to $400,000, (ii) change the interest rate under Accounts Receivable Securitization Program from LIBOR plus 1.0% to SOFR plus 0.95%, with a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% and (iii) extend the maturity date from July 1, 2023 to July 1, 2025, at which point all obligations become due. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the amount outstanding under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program was $314,700 and $0, respectively. The interest rate in effect under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program was 5.4% as of December 31, 2022. Commitment fees at a rate of 35 basis points are charged on amounts made available but not borrowed under the Accounts Receivable Securitization Program.MAXIMUM AMOUNT $325,000

G. CASH POOLING

Certain of our subsidiaries participate in cash pooling arrangements (the "Cash Pools") to help manage global liquidity requirements. We utilize the following Cash Pools: (i) two Cash Pools with Bank Mendes Gans, an independently operated wholly owned subsidiary of ING Group, one of which we use to manage global liquidity requirements for our qualified REIT subsidiaries ("QRSs") and the other for our taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"); (ii) two Cash Pools with JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPM"), one of which we use to manage liquidity requirements for our QRSs in the Asia Pacific region and the other for our TRSs in the Asia Pacific region; and (iii) two Cash Pools with JPM, which we entered into in the third quarter of 2022, one of which we use to manage liquidity requirements for our QRSs in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa regions and the other for our TRSs in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa regions.

Under each of the Cash Pools, cash deposited by participating subsidiaries with certain financial institutions is pledged as security against the debit balances of other participating subsidiaries with legal rights of offset provided to the financial institutions, and, therefore, such amounts are presented in our Consolidated Balance Sheets on a net basis. Each subsidiary receives interest on the cash balances held on deposit or pays interest on its debit balances based on an applicable rate as defined in the Cash Pools.

The net cash position balances as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 are reflected as Cash and cash equivalents in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

H. LETTERS OF CREDIT

As of December 31, 2022, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $39,795, of which $3,824 reduce our borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility (as described above). The letters of credit expire at various dates between January 2023 and March 2025.

I. DEBT COVENANTS

The Credit Agreement, our bond indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness contain certain restrictive financial and operating covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to complete acquisitions, pay cash dividends, incur indebtedness, make investments, sell assets and take other specified corporate actions. The covenants do not contain a rating trigger. Therefore, a change in our debt rating would not trigger a default under the Credit Agreement, our bond indentures or other agreements governing our indebtedness. The Credit Agreement requires that we satisfy a net total lease adjusted leverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio on a quarterly basis and our bond indentures require that, among other things, we satisfy a leverage ratio (not lease adjusted) or a fixed charge coverage ratio (not lease adjusted), as a condition to taking actions such as paying dividends and incurring indebtedness.

The Credit Agreement uses EBITDAR-based calculations and the bond indentures use EBITDA-based calculations as the primary measures of financial performance for purposes of calculating leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. The EBITDAR- and EBITDA-based leverage calculations include our consolidated subsidiaries, other than those we have designated as "Unrestricted Subsidiaries" as defined in the Credit Agreement and bond indentures. Generally, the Credit Agreement and the bond indentures use a trailing four fiscal quarter basis for purposes of the relevant calculations and require certain adjustments and exclusions for purposes of those calculations, which make the calculation of financial performance for purposes of those calculations under the Credit Agreement and bond indentures not directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA as presented herein. We are in compliance with our leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios under the Credit Agreement, our bond indentures and other agreements governing our indebtedness as of December 31, 2022. Noncompliance with these leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

B. SELF-INSURED LIABILITIES

We are self-insured up to certain limits for costs associated with workers’ compensation claims, vehicle accidents, property and general business liabilities, and benefits paid under employee healthcare and short-term disability programs. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, there were $46,663 and $46,797, respectively, of self-insurance accruals reflected in Accrued expenses on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The measurement of these costs requires the consideration of historical cost experience and judgments about the present and expected levels of cost per claim. We account for these costs primarily through actuarial methods, which develop estimates of the undiscounted liability for claims incurred, including those claims incurred but not reported. These methods provide estimates of future claim costs based on claims incurred as of the balance sheet date.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

C. LITIGATION—GENERAL

We are involved in litigation from time to time in the ordinary course of business, including litigation arising from damage to customer assets in our facilities caused by fires and other natural disasters. A portion of the defense and/or settlement costs associated with such litigation is covered by various commercial liability insurance policies purchased by us and, in limited cases, indemnification from third parties. Our policy is to establish reserves for loss contingencies when the losses are both probable and reasonably estimable. We record legal costs associated with loss contingencies as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. While the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, we do not believe any current litigation will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We have estimated a reasonably possible range for all loss contingencies and believe it is reasonably possible that we could incur aggregate losses in addition to amounts currently accrued for all matters up to an additional $21,500 over the next several years.

9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY MATTERS

Our board of directors has adopted a dividend policy under which we have paid, and in the future intend to pay, quarterly cash dividends on our common stock. The amount and timing of future dividends will continue to be subject to the approval of our board of directors, in its sole discretion, and to applicable legal requirements.

9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY MATTERS (CONTINUED)

During the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, we declared dividends in an aggregate and per share amount, based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each respective year, as follows:

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,

Declared distributions$719,098$715,807$712,773
Amount per share each distribution represents based on weighted average number of common shares outstanding2.472.472.47

For federal income tax purposes, distributions to our stockholders are generally treated as nonqualified ordinary dividends (potentially eligible for the lower effective tax rates available for "qualified REIT dividends"), qualified ordinary dividends or return of capital. The United States Internal Revenue Service requires historical C corporation earnings and profits to be distributed prior to any REIT distributions, which may affect the character of each distribution to our stockholders, including whether and to what extent each distribution is characterized as a qualified or nonqualified ordinary dividend. In addition, certain of our distributions qualify as capital gain distributions. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, the dividends we paid on our common shares were classified as follows:

Dividends paid during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 which were classified as qualified ordinary dividends for federal income tax purposes primarily related to the distribution of historical C corporation earnings and profits related to certain acquisitions completed during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. In 2022, the percentage of our dividend that was classified as a capital gain was 9.6% and was primarily related to the sale of land and buildings in the United States and Canada. In 2021, the percentage of our dividend that was classified as a capital gain was 21.8% and primarily related to the sale of land and buildings in the United States and the United Kingdom. In 2020, the percentage of our dividend that was classified as a capital gain was 49.5% and primarily related to the sale of land and buildings in the United States.

10. INCOME TAXES

We have been organized and have operated as a REIT effective beginning with our taxable year that ended on December 31, 2014. As a REIT, we are generally permitted to deduct from our federal taxable income the dividends we pay to our stockholders. The income represented by such dividends is not subject to federal taxation at the entity level but is taxed, if at all, at the stockholder level. The income of our domestic TRSs, which hold our domestic operations that may not be REIT-compliant as currently operated and structured, is subject, as applicable, to federal and state corporate income tax. In addition, we and our subsidiaries continue to be subject to foreign income taxes in other jurisdictions in which we have business operations or a taxable presence, regardless of whether assets are held or operations are conducted through subsidiaries disregarded for federal income tax purposes or TRSs. We will also be subject to a separate corporate income tax on any gains recognized on the sale or disposition of any asset previously owned by a C corporation during a five-year period after the date we first owned the asset as a REIT asset that are attributable to "built-in gains" with respect to that asset on that date. We will also be subject to a built-in gains tax on our depreciation recapture recognized into income as a result of accounting method changes in connection with our acquisition activities. If we fail to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate income tax rates. Even if we remain qualified for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to some federal, state, local and foreign taxes on our income and property in addition to taxes owed with respect to our TRS operations. In particular, while state income tax regimes often parallel the federal income tax regime for REITs, many states do not completely follow federal rules and some do not follow them at all.

The significant components of our deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 are presented below:

Deferred income taxes(263,005)(223,934)

At December 31, 2022, we have federal net operating loss carryforwards of $63,497, which can be carried forward indefinitely, of which $57,132 is expected to be realized to reduce future federal taxable income. We have assets for foreign net operating losses of $81,872, with various expiration dates (and in some cases no expiration date), subject to a valuation allowance of approximately 56.0%. If actual results differ unfavorably from certain of our estimates used, we may not be able to realize all or part of our net deferred income tax assets and additional valuation allowances may be required. Although we believe our estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that our estimates reflected in the tax provisions and accruals will equal our actual results. These differences could have a material impact on our income tax provision and operating results in the period in which such determination is made.

A reconciliation of total income tax expense and the amount computed by applying the current federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% to net income (loss) before provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, is as follows:

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes$69,489$176,290$29,609

Our effective tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were 11.0%, 28.0% and 7.9%, respectively. Our effective tax rate is subject to variability in the future due to, among other items: (i) changes in the mix of income between our QRSs and our TRSs, as well as among the jurisdictions in which we operate; (ii) tax law changes; (iii) volatility in foreign exchange gains and losses; (iv) the timing of the establishment and reversal of tax reserves; (v) our ability to utilize net operating losses that we generate and (vi) the taxability or deductibility of significant transactions.

The primary reconciling items between the federal statutory tax rate of 21.0% and our overall effective tax rate were:

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31,
202220212020
The benefits derived from the dividends paid deduction of $82,620 and the differences in the tax rates to which our foreign earnings are subject of $22,227. In addition, there were gains and losses recorded in Other (income) expense, net and Gain (loss) on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net during the period for which there were insignificant tax impacts.The benefit derived from the dividends paid deduction of $8,203 which was offset by (i) the impact of differences in the tax rates at which our foreign earnings are subject to, resulting in a tax provision of $9,856, and (ii) foreign withholding taxes of $23,654, which were either paid during the year or accrued, for the deferred tax liability for the U.S. tax impact of undistributed earnings of foreign TRSs that are no longer intended to be permanently reinvested outside the United States.The benefit derived from the dividends paid deduction of $60,378 and the impact of differences in the tax rates at which our foreign earnings are subject to, resulting in a tax provision of $9,472.

As a REIT, we are entitled to a deduction for dividends paid, resulting in a substantial reduction of federal income tax expense. As a REIT, substantially all of our income tax expense will be incurred based on the earnings generated by our foreign subsidiaries and our domestic TRSs.

10. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)

During 2021, as a result of the enactment of a tax law and the closing of various acquisitions, we concluded that it is no longer our intention to reinvest our undistributed earnings of our foreign TRSs indefinitely outside the United States. As a REIT, future repatriation of incremental undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries will not be subject to federal or state income tax, with the exception of foreign withholding taxes. However, such future repatriations may require distributions to our stockholders in accordance with REIT distribution rules, and any such distribution may then be taxable, as appropriate, at the stockholder level. We expect to provide for foreign withholding taxes on the current and future earnings of all of our foreign subsidiaries as the result of such reassessment.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (the "OECD"), an international association comprised of 38 countries, including the United States, has issued proposals that change long-standing tax principles including on a global minimum tax initiative. On December 12, 2022, the European Union member states agreed to implement the OECD’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting ("BEPS") 2.0 Pillar Two global corporate minimum tax rate of 15% on companies with revenues of at least $790,000, which would go into effect in 2024. Other countries are also actively considering changes to their tax laws to adopt certain parts of the OECD’s proposals. In December 2022, South Korea enacted new global minimum tax rules to align with OECD BEPS 2.0 Pillar Two. We will continue to monitor regulatory developments to assess potential impacts of OECD proposals on us.

The evaluation of an uncertain tax position is a two-step process. The first step is a recognition process whereby we determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The second step is a measurement process whereby a tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is calculated to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

We have elected to recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as a component of the provision (benefit) for income taxes in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. We recorded increases of $90 and $823 for gross interest and penalties for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We recorded a decrease of $1,499 for gross interest and penalties for the years ended December 31, 2020. We had $6,635 and $6,805 accrued for the payment of interest and penalties as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

A summary of tax years that remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions is as follows:

TAX YEARSTAX JURISDICTION
See BelowUnited States—Federal and State
2019 to presentUnited Kingdom
2015 to presentCanada

The normal statute of limitations for United States federal tax purposes is three years from the date the tax return is filed; however, the statute of limitations may remain open for periods longer than three years in instances where a federal tax examination is in progress. The 2021, 2020 and 2019 tax years remain subject to examination for United States federal tax purposes as well as net operating loss carryforwards utilized in these years. The normal statute of limitations for state purposes is between three to five years. However, certain of our state statute of limitations remain open for periods longer than this when audits are in progress.

We are subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. We are subject to examination by various tax authorities in jurisdictions in which we have business operations or a taxable presence. We regularly assess the likelihood of additional assessments by tax authorities and provide for these matters as appropriate. As of December 31, 2022, we had $27,753 of reserves related to uncertain tax positions, of which $24,671 and $3,082 is included in other long-term liabilities and deferred income taxes, respectively, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. As of December 31, 2021, we had $27,772 of reserves related to uncertain tax positions, of which $24,627 and $3,145 is included in other long-term liabilities and deferred income taxes, respectively, in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. Although we believe our tax estimates are appropriate, the final determination of tax audits and any related litigation could result in changes in our estimates.

The reversal of these reserves of $27,753 as of December 31, 2022 will be recorded as a reduction of our income tax provision, if sustained. We believe that it is reasonably possible that an amount up to approximately $5,977 of our unrecognized tax positions may be recognized by the end of 2023 as a result of a lapse of statute of limitations or upon closing and settling significant audits in various worldwide jurisdictions.

11. SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2. Adjusted EBITDA for each segment is defined as net income (loss) before interest expense, net, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization (inclusive of our share of Adjusted EBITDA from our unconsolidated joint ventures), and excluding certain items we do not believe to be indicative of our core operating results, specifically:

EXCLUDED
•Acquisition and Integration Costs •Restructuring and other transformation •Intangible impairments •(Gain) loss on disposal/write-down of property, plant and equipment, net (including real estate)•Other (income) expense, net •Stock-based compensation expense •COVID-19 Costs (as defined below)

Internally, we use Adjusted EBITDA as the basis for evaluating the performance of, and allocated resources to, our operating segments.

A reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA on a consolidated basis for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

13. RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER TRANSFORMATION

PROJECT MATTERHORN

In September 2022, we announced Project Matterhorn, our global program designed to accelerate the growth of our business. Project Matterhorn investments will focus on transforming our operating model to a global operating model. Project Matterhorn will focus on the formation of a solution-based sales approach that is designed to allow us to optimize our shared services and best practices to better serve our customers' needs. We will be investing to accelerate growth and to capture a greater share of the large, global addressable markets in which we operate. We expect to incur approximately $150,000 in costs annually related to Project Matterhorn from 2023 through 2025. Costs are comprised of (1) restructuring costs, which include (i) site consolidation and other related exit costs, (ii) employee severance costs and (iii) certain professional fees associated with these activities, and (2) other transformation costs, which include professional fees such as project management costs and costs for third party consultants who are assisting in the enablement our growth initiatives.

PROJECT SUMMIT

In October 2019, we announced Project Summit, our global program designed to better position us for future growth and achievement of our strategic objectives. We expanded Project Summit during the first quarter of 2020 to include additional opportunities to streamline our business and operations, as well as accelerated the timing of certain opportunities previously identified. As of December 31, 2021, we completed Project Summit. As a result of the program, we simplified our global structure, rebalanced resources to focus on higher growth areas, realigned our management structure to create a more dynamic, agile organization, made investments to enhance the customer experience and leveraged new technology solutions that enabled us to modernize our service delivery model and more efficiently utilize our fleet, labor and real estate.

The implementation of Project Summit resulted in total restructuring costs of approximately $450,000 that primarily consisted of: (i) employee severance costs; (ii) internal costs associated with the development and implementation of Project Summit initiatives; (iii) professional fees, primarily related to third party consultants who assisted with the design and execution of various initiatives as well as project management activities and (iv) system implementation and data conversion costs.
