ITEM 7: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.
(c) Exhibits.
The following exhibit is filed herewith:
99.01 Selected presentation slides used November 10, 2000.
ITEM 9: REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE.
On November 10, 2000, Exodus Communications, Inc. held an Investor Day
for financial analysts and others, which was available through live audio
webcast together with accompanying slides, and by webcast replay.
The data shown on the business outlook presentation slides used at that
event webcast are attached to this Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.01 and incorporated
herein by reference. A complete set of the presentation slides will be available
at the investor relations page on our website (www.exodus.net) until 5:00p EST
December 10, 2000. This information contains forward-looking statements,
including financial projections, descriptions of management's plans and
objectives, and statements related to future operations, including those related
to the growth in Exodus' business, additional IDCs, revenues, EBITDA, revenue
per customer, gross margin, bookings and other anticipated financial results.
Actual results may differ materially from those projected in these
forward-looking statements. Factors that could affect these forward-looking
statements include: operational challenges of developing, deploying and
delivering Exodus' services; potential difficulties in completing our proposed
acquisition of GlobalCenter as scheduled in January 2001 or otherwise; potential
difficulties of integrating GlobalCenter with Exodus and achieving expected
benefits of the acquisition; potential that the business and operations of
GlobalCenter may be different at closing than as predicted, as Exodus has no
control over GlobalCenter prior to the closing; potential difficulties
associated with international operations or expansion; potential difficulties in
opening new IDCs and delivering services when requested by our customers;
competition from existing and new competitors; and the risk that customers who
have placed orders may cancel or delay installations. These statements also
involve risks and uncertainties described from time to time in Exodus' filings
with the SEC such as in its most recent Forms 10-Q, Forms 8-K, and Form 10-K.
Exodus assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking information contained
in this report.
