Equinix added one new risk factor in 2024 focused on geopolitical events and evolving regulatory compliance across its operating countries. Eleven existing risk factors were substantively modified, with notable updates to disclosure around government regulation compliance, product development and competitive differentiation, and power procurement and supply chain challenges. The overall risk factor structure remained largely stable, with 39 risks unchanged and no risks removed from the prior year.
