    Questions to Ask Management

    1. Given the ongoing DOJ and SEC investigations, can you provide an update on their status, and have any internal or external reporting changes been made in response to these inquiries?

    2. With the increasing power density of cabinets leading to a differential between cabinets being churned and those being added, do you view this as a structural trend that could represent a growing headwind to cabinet growth numbers in future quarters?

    3. Considering the shift towards higher density cabinets and the impact on metrics like net cabinets billed and MRR per cabinet, are you planning to adjust how you measure and report these key performance indicators to better reflect business realities?

    4. You mentioned a focus on simplification and amplifying your go-to-market efforts; can you expand on specific areas where you see opportunities for simplification, and what changes might we expect to see in your processes or organizational structure?

    5. As AI workloads become more significant, particularly in terms of infrastructure demands for training and inference, how is Equinix positioning itself to capitalize on these opportunities, and what investments or strategic initiatives are you undertaking to address this market?
