Q3 Adjusted EBITDA Growth: Our Q3 adjusted EBITDA was $1.048 billion or approximately 48% of revenues, up 12% over the same quarter last year at the top end of our guidance range due to strong operating performance, favorable net interest expense and the timing of our Singapore 6 land lease payment.
Churn Rate Improvement: Global Q3 MRR churn was lower than planned due to the deferral of forecasted MRR churn from late September into early October.
