Equinix posted quarterly revenue of approximately $2.0 billion, a record quarter-over-quarter step up of $127 million and up 15% over the same quarter last year. Net income amounted to $259 million, a 101% increase over the previous quarter, primarily due to higher income from operations and lower net interest expense.
Charles Meyers, President and CEO, Equinix, states: "We had a strong start to the year, delivering nearly $2 billion of revenue for the quarter, as our outlook remains positive with the overall demand for digital transformation fueling our conviction around the long-term secular drivers of our business. We look forward to our upcoming analyst day next month, where we plan to continue the discussion of the significant opportunity ahead and our strongly differentiated position in capturing this opportunity as we enable our customers to access all the right places, partners and possibilities."
