We continued to invest in expanding our global network footprint even further, reaching 983 enabled locations during the year, and we recently launched a historic 1000th enabled data centre in August: DataBank's San Diego SAN1 facility.

We delivered these amazing outcomes while meeting EBITDA guidance and building our cash balance to over $100 million.
