Equinix to Extend Its Digital Infrastructure Platform to the Philippines With Acquisition of Three Data Centers
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. and MANILA, The Philippines, July 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the world's digital infrastructure company, today announced its planned entry into the Philippines with the acquisition of three data centers from Total Information Management ("TIM"), a leading technology solutions provider. Following the recently announced expansions in Malaysia and Indonesia, this strategic move aims to help businesses expand and capitalize on the digital opportunity of the fast-growing Southeast Asia region. The all-cash transaction represents a multiple of approximately 15x the projected EBITDA at full utilization and is expected to close in 2H 2024, subject to customary closing conditions.
Equinix公司(納斯達克股票代碼:EQIX)是全球數字基礎設施公司,於2024年7月22日宣佈計劃收購菲律賓Total Information Management(“TIM”)的三個數據中心,以幫助企業擴大經營範圍並利用快速增長的東南亞地區的數字機遇。該交易是全現金交易,並代表完全利用時約15倍的預計EBITDA,預計將於2024年下半年關閉,須經常規收盤條件滿足。
The acquisition of the three high-performance data centers will provide capacity for Equinix to address the digital needs of local and overseas businesses in the Philippines. Enterprises, cloud and IT service providers, and network service providers around the world can leverage Platform Equinix to interconnect and exchange data privately and securely within a vibrant ecosystem of business partners and customers. Existing customers of TIM, including network and financial services companies, will also gain access to Equinix's global ecosystems of more than 10,000 companies, including more than 2,000 networks and 3,000 cloud and IT service providers.
收購三個高性能數據中心將爲Equinix提供容量,以滿足菲律賓當地和境外企業的數字需求。世界各地的企業、雲和IT服務提供商以及網絡服務提供商都可以利用平台Equinix在一個充滿活力的商業夥伴和客戶生態系統內私下、安全地互相連接和交換數據。TIm的現有客戶,包括網絡和金融服務公司,也將獲得進入Equinix的全球生態系統的機會,該生態系統包括10,000多家公司,其中包括2,000多個網絡和3,000個雲和IT服務提供商。
Southeast Asia's digital economy grew to $218 billion in gross merchandise value (GMV) in 2023.1 In particular, the Philippines' digital economy is expected to continue its upward climb toward $35 billion by 2025, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20%.2 The country is also seeing a surge in demand for digital infrastructure services, driven by a highly engaged digital population, booming e-commerce adoption and various government initiatives to promote digitization, such as the E-Government Masterplan 2022 and the Digi-Ed 2028 program.
東南亞的數字經濟在2023年達到了2,180億美元的商品總價值(GMV)。其中,菲律賓的數字經濟預計將繼續向350億美元邁進,以20%的複合年增長率增長至2025年。該國的數字基礎設施服務需求也呈現出高漲趨勢,這是由高度參與數字的人口,蓬勃發展的電子商務和多種政府促進數字化的舉措所推動的,例如電子政府2022年總體規劃和數字教育2028年計劃。
Jeremy Deutsch, President, Asia-Pacific, Equinix said: "We are thrilled to announce our expansion into the Philippines, a vibrant and rapidly expanding digital economy that presents immense opportunities for our valued customers and partners. This strategic acquisition, combined with our recent expansions in Malaysia and Indonesia, as well as the awarded data center capacity in Singapore, will greatly enhance our footprint in the region. This expanded digital infrastructure will also enable our customers to thrive and embrace digital transformation, harnessing the potential of emerging technologies like private AI. This acquisition perfectly aligns with our vision to extend our leadership in the Asia-Pacific region, while driving the acceleration of the digital economy."
Equinix亞太區總裁Jeremy Deutsch表示:“我們很高興宣佈進入菲律賓,這是一個充滿活力且快速擴張的數字經濟,爲我們的重要客戶和合作夥伴提供了巨大的機遇。這次戰略性收購,加上我們最近在馬來西亞和印度尼西亞的擴張,以及在新加坡獲得的數據中心容量,將極大地增強我們在該地區的地位。這種擴大的數字基礎設施也將使我們的客戶在擁抱數字化轉型,利用新興技術如私人人工智能方面的潛在力量。該收購與我們延伸亞太地區領導地位、推動數字經濟加速增長的願景完美契合。”
Jose Mari M. Antunez, Chairman, Total Information Management commented: "Equinix's strong reputation and expertise in the industry make them the ideal partner to take our data center business to new heights. While TIM will continue to remain as a system integrator, helping our customers through their digital transformation strategies, this deal will bring immense benefits to our customers. Equinix's global platform and extensive network will provide enhanced connectivity, scalability and access to a thriving ecosystem of partners. We are confident that Equinix's commitment to excellence and customer-centric approach will ensure a seamless transition and deliver unparalleled value to our customers."
Total Information Management主席Jose Mari M. Antunez表示:“Equinix在業內擁有強大的聲譽和專業知識,使其成爲將我們的數據中心業務推向新高度的理想合作伙伴。雖然TIm將繼續保持作爲系統集成商的地位,幫助我們的客戶通過數字化轉型戰略,但這筆交易將爲我們的客戶帶來巨大的好處。Equinix的全球平台和廣泛網絡將提供增強的連接性、可擴展性和進入繁榮的合作伙伴生態系統的機會。我們相信,Equinix對卓越和以客戶爲中心的方法的承諾將確保順利過渡,併爲我們的客戶提供無與倫比的價值。”
