Forward Looking StatementsSome of the statements contained in this presentation constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to

expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In particular,

statements pertaining to our capital resources, portfolio performance results of operations, anticipated growth in our funds from operations and anticipated market conditions

contain forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,”

“intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or

indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.

The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation reflect our current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties,

assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause our actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. We do not guarantee

that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future

events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:

adverse economic or real estate developments in our markets or the technology industry;

obsolescence or reduction in marketability of our infrastructure due to changing industry demands;

global, national and local economic conditions;

risks related to our international operations;

difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions;

our failure to successfully develop, redevelop and operate acquired properties or lines of business;

significant increases in construction and development costs;

the increasingly competitive environment in which we operate;

defaults on, or termination or non-renewal of, leases by customers;

decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates;

increased interest rates and operating costs, including increased energy costs;

financing risks, including our failure to obtain necessary outside financing;

dependence on third parties to provide Internet, telecommunications and network connectivity to our data centers;

our failure to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT;

environmental uncertainties and risks related to natural disasters;

financial market fluctuations;

changes in real estate and zoning laws, revaluations for tax purposes and increases in real property tax rates; and

limitations inherent in our current and any future joint venture investments, such as lack of sole decision-making authority and reliance on our partners’ financial condition.

While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it

was made. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, of new information, data

or methods, future events or other changes. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause our future results to differ materially from any forward-looking

statements, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (“10-K”) and in the other periodic reports we file with

the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This presentation includes measures not derived in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), such as FFO, operating FFO, adjusted Operating FFO,

EBITDAre, adjusted EBITDA, NOI, ROIC and MRR. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for any measure derived in accordance with GAAP,

and may also be inconsistent with similar measures presented by other companies. As used herein, “Core” refers to our business that primarily consists of our hyperscale and

hybrid colocation leases. Reconciliation of these measures to the most closely comparable GAAP measures are presented in the attached pages. We refer you to the appendix of

this presentation for reconciliations of these measures and to the section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Non-

GAAP Financial Measures" in our 10-K for further information regarding these measures.

with select growth acceleration opportunities in hyperscale

ROIC represents significant spread relative to QTS cost of capital, among the widest in the

real estate industry

Flexible capital plan to drive near- and long-term OFFO/sh growth Constantly evaluate priority of capital spend to balance the needs of customers with

OFFO/share growth

Maintain thoughtful approach to not only the amount of capital spend, but also the source

and timing of that capital

Focused on funding capital plan in most shareholder-friendly means Demonstrated track record of managing both timing and structure of capital to fund the

business while minimizing near-term equity dilution

Netherlands Acquisition Accelerates Global ExpansionDe-risked entry into new international market with acquisition of large scale

infrastructure at a low basis with significant capacity for growth

Low basis: Purchase price represents ~$2M per MW2 which is materially below any

reasonable average cost to build in the market

Mega scale: 30 MWs of aggregate built out capacity, including 20 MWs in Eemshaven

facility which is fully available and built out

Platform for int’l expansion: Represents QTS’ first mega scale expansion outside U.S.

De-risked execution strategy: Low basis new market entry leveraging local partnerships

to de-risk execution in new international market

Growth opportunity: According to CBRE, absorption in the top 4 European markets

totaled ~190 MWs in 2018, +60% Y/Y driven in part by increased hyperscale leasing1

OFFO/share accretion opportunity: As a result of low basis purchase price combined

with contracted in-place revenue, acquisition is breakeven to QTS’ 2019 OFFO/share,

assuming no incremental leasing; opportunity to drive significant future accretion

Hybrid Colocation Continues to Drive Consistent Growth

• Hybrid Colocation:

Hybrid colocation business contributed the majority of net leasing volume in Q1

Strength in hybrid colocation performance is a function of:

Strengthening economic backdrop

QTS signed 47 new logos in Q1 2019, +15% year-over-year

New logo growth remains a key initiative for QTS sales team given ongoing

growth potential of embedded customer base

Continue to see an increase in overall deal size within Enterprise funnel

Increasing contribution from channel partnerships

Nearly 50% of hybrid colocation leasing was sourced through a channel partner

in Q1 2019 vs. approximately 15% of leasing three years ago

Differentiation enabled by software-defined data center platform

Industry’s first software-defined orchestration platform

Empowers customers to interact with data and QTS services by providing real-

time visibility and control of critical metrics across hybrid IT environments

Strategic Growth Acceleration Opportunities in Hyperscale

Hyperscale:

During Q1, QTS signed a 3 MW lease in its Fort Worth mega data center with a new

hyperscale logo

Leverages low basis asset acquired in 2016 which enables an ROIC above the typical

hyperscale return expectation in the market

Able to support initial 3 MW deployment in existing Fort Worth facility with limited

incremental capital, further supporting QTS’ capital efficient approach

Establishes new relationship with one of the industry’s fastest growing consumers of

hyperscale data center capacity

Initial commitment is expected to scale substantially at the site over time

Several larger potential opportunities remain in pipeline that QTS continues to

actively pursue with both new and existing customers across multiple markets

QTS establishes new relationship with one of the largest and fastest growing

consumers of hyperscale data center capacity
