Interxion reported 2008 revenue up 38% to Ôé¼138.2 million (2007: Ôé¼100.5 million), adjusted EBITDA up 67% to Ôé¼48.3 million and net profit margin up to 27.1% (2007: 13.5%).

In his director's statement David C. Ruberg CEO said equipped space increased by approximately 7,900m2 in 2008 and as at December 31, 2008 the Group has Ôé¼ 75,089,000 assets under construction with around Ôé¼32 million of this to be ready for service in the first quarter of 2009.

"During the past year we added significantly to our Amsterdam, Brussels, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Paris and Vienna operations...In our opinion, the data centre and colocation market is not immune to being impacted by the current economic turmoil;it has affected both our customer segments and suppliers. The impact on our customer segments has been inconsistent. Some customers are choosing to accelerate their plans to move to outsourced data centres and others are slowing down their plans. None, however, are abandoning their plans. On the other hand, many data centre suppliers are abandoning or delaying their plans to build out new data centres, thus restricting available supply."

"Looking ahead, customer demand for additional internet data centre capacity is stronger than ever, in what remains a very supply-constrained market. This means that the rationale for further expansion is clear. That being the case, we will continue to expand our data centre footprint through the build-out of both existing and suitable new sites. Our investment decision criteria continue to be driven by factors such as the presence of target customers in each market and expectations regarding returns on investment. We continue to see strongest market demand in those markets where we already have a presence, so our current expansion program will continue to focus on these territories. To that end, we have been successful in working with our banking partners to ensure that we have the requisite financing in place to enable us to continue our rapid expansion plans. In September, we secured a Ôé¼135 million revolving credit facility to maintain our expansion strategy."

The company said the majority of operations were certified to the ISO27001 (Information Security and Business Continuity) standard during 2008, and by the middle of 2009 it expected that all territories will have gained this certification.
