Then with obviously Capital Markets, I cover the communication infrastructure sector, and pleased to have Iron Mountain CEO and CFO with us. Bill Meaney and Barry Hytinen, welcome.

JohnAnalyst

Thanks. Thank you, John. We are going to hit on data center ALM, some corporate topics, capital allocation.

JohnAnalyst

Maybe start with data centers. The energization pipeline declined from roughly 450 megawatts to 325 over the past year as you leased capacity. At the current leasing pace, the pipeline could substantially shrink within the next 12-18 months. How are you thinking about the cadence and scale of land and power replenishment needed to sustain 100+ megawatts of annual leasing beyond next year?

Bill MeaneyCEO

Okay. Well, thank you, John. Maybe I will start with that one. First, we are really happy with the recent momentum that the business has built since January this year. As you noted that when we got on the Q2 call at the beginning of August, we had actually leased already something in the third quarter, over 50 megawatts in Mumbai, which brings that land bank down to the 325 that gets energized over in the next 18-24 months that is not leased yet or is leasable. First of all, we feel really good about that. Over the next 18-24 months to have that much energized and permitted, fully permitted land available to talk to our customers about. The pipeline that we see across those assets is both wide and deep.

Bill MeaneyCEO

We feel really good about the momentum that the business is building over the next period. Your question is really what is beyond that? Beyond that is if we think about it as a company, we think about maintaining that kind of freeboard, if you will. The 300 plus megawatts over an 18- to 24-month rolling basis. If we go the next period out, we have another 300 megawatts plus on additional land that is permitted and is committed to be energized by the utilities after that. 200 of which, I should say, is additional capacity coming online in Manassas. If I look forward the next 36 to 48 months, we feel really good.
