For the third quarter of 2019, Equinix forecasts revenues in the range between $1.399 and $1.409 billion, an increase of 1% quarter-over-quarter, at the mid-point of guidance on both an as-reported and a normalized and constant currency basis, taking into consideration the net impact of the EMEA hyperscale joint venture. This guidance includes a positive foreign currency benefit of $8 million when compared to the average FX rates in Q2 2019.
Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter of 2019 is expected to range between $665 and $675 million, including the higher seasonal cost of revenues, and includes a $4 million positive foreign currency benefit when compared to the average FX rates in Q2 2019 and $4 million of integration costs from acquisitions.

This $10 million increase from previously issued guidance is due to $12 million of better than expected operating business performance and a $5 million positive foreign currency benefit when compared to prior guidance rates, offset in part by a $7 million reduction from the net impact of the EMEA hyperscale joint venture.
Adjusted EBITDA for the full year is forecast to range between $2.660 and $2.690 billion, an adjusted EBITDA margin of 48%.
