INTERNAP CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Internap Corporation ("we," "us," "our," "INAP," or "the Company") provides Internet infrastructure through both Colocation Business and Enterprise Services (including colocation, network connectivity, IP, bandwidth, and managed services and hosting), and Cloud Services (including enterprise-grade AgileCLOUD, bare-metal servers, and SMB iWeb platforms). INAP operates in Tier 3-type data centers in 21 metropolitan markets, primarily in North America, with 50 datacenters and 89 POPs around the world. Currently, INAP has approximately one million gross square feet under lease, with 500,000 square feet of data center space. INAP operates a premium business model that provides high-power density colocation, low-latency bandwidth, and public and private cloud platforms in an expanding Internet infrastructure industry.

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information. These financial statements include all of our accounts and those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. We have eliminated all intercompany transactions and balances in the accompanying financial statements.

We have condensed or omitted certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments, which consist of normal recurring adjustments unless otherwise disclosed, necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of September 30, 2017 and our operating results and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The balance sheet at December 31, 2016 was derived from our audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. You should read the accompanying financial statements and the related notes in conjunction with our financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the 2017 fiscal year or any future periods.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we changed our organizational structure in an effort to create more effective and efficient operations and to improve customer and product focus. In that regard, we revised the information that our chief executive officer, who is also our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), regularly reviews for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. As a result, we report our financial performance based on our revised segment structure, described in more detail in note 10 "Operating Segments." We have reclassified prior period amounts to conform to the current presentation.

The prior year reclassifications, which did not affect total revenues, total direct costs of sales and services, operating loss or net loss, are summarized as follows (in thousands):

We account for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. We categorize each of our fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are:

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as follows (in thousands):

The following table provides a summary of changes in our Level 3 asset retirement obligations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (in thousands):

The fair values of our other Level 3 debt liabilities, estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements, are as follows (in thousands):

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we changed our operating segments, as discussed in note 10 "Operating Segments," and, subsequently, our reporting units. We now have six reporting units: IP services, IP products, data center services, managed hosting, cloud and Ubersmith. We allocated goodwill to our new reporting units using a relative fair value approach. In addition, we completed an assessment of any potential goodwill impairment for all reporting units immediately prior to and after the reallocation and determined that no impairment existed.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we re-allocated goodwill as follows (in thousands):

Third Amendment

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we entered into an amendment to our Credit Agreement (the "Third Amendment"), which, among other things, amended the credit agreement (i) to make each of the interest coverage ratio and leverage ratio covenants less restrictive and (ii) to decrease the maximum level of permitted capital expenditures. We paid a one-time aggregate fee of $2.6 million to the lenders for the Third Amendment, which we recorded as a debt discount of $2.2 million related to the term loan and prepaid debt issuance costs of $0.4 million related to the revolving credit facility. In addition, we paid $0.3 million in third-party fees, which we recorded as expense of $0.3 million related to the term loan and as prepaid debt issuance costs of less than $0.1 million related to the revolving credit facility.

The Third Amendment was effective on February 28, 2017, upon the closing of the equity sale, which is described in note 6 "Equity" below. The effectiveness of the covenant amendments was conditioned on the Company completing one or more equity offerings on or before June 30, 2017 for gross cash proceeds of not less than $40 million , and net cash proceeds of not less than $37 million and the application of the net cash proceeds to the repayment of indebtedness under the Credit Agreement. The Company paid a fee of approximately $0.9 million to the lenders on January 26, 2017 and paid an additional fee of $1.6 million on February 28, 2017. Absent the Third Amendment, we may not have been able to comply with our covenants in the Credit Agreement.

Credit Agreement

On April 6, 2017, we entered into a new Credit Agreement (the "2017 Credit Agreement"), which provides for a $300 million term loan facility ("term loan") and a $25 million revolving credit facility ("revolving credit facility"). The proceeds of the term loan were used to refinance the Company's existing credit facility and to pay costs and expenses associated with the 2017 Credit Agreement.

A total of $5.7 million was paid for debt issuance costs related to the 2017 Credit Agreement. Of the $5.7 million in costs paid, $1.9 million related to the exchange of debt and was expensed, $3.3 million related to term loan third party costs and will be amortized over the term of the loan and $0.4 million are prepaid debt issuance costs related to the revolving credit facility and will be amortized over the term of the revolving credit facility. In addition, $4.8 million of debt discount and debt issuance costs related to the previous credit facility were expensed due to the extinguishment of that credit facility.

The maturity date of the term loan is April 6, 2022 and the maturity date of the revolving credit facility is October 6, 2021. As of September 30, 2017, the interest rate on the term loan was 8.24% .

On June 28, 2017, the Company entered into an amendment to the 2017 Credit Agreement ("First Amendment"), by and among the Company, each of the lenders party thereto, and Jefferies Finance LLC, as Administrative Agent. The First Amendment clarified that for all purposes the Company's liabilities pursuant to any lease that was treated as rental and lease expense, and not as a capital lease obligation or indebtedness on the closing date of the 2017 Credit Agreement, would continue to be treated as a rental and lease expense, and not as a capital lease obligations or indebtedness, for all purposes of the 2017 Credit Agreement, notwithstanding any amendment of the lease that results in the treatment of such lease as a capital lease obligation or indebtedness for financial reporting purposes.

Securities Purchase Agreement

On February 22, 2017, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with certain purchasers (the "Purchasers"), pursuant to which the Company issued to the Purchasers an aggregate of 23,802,850 shares of the Company's common stock at a price of $1.81 per share, for the aggregate purchase price of $43.1 million , which closed on February 27, 2017. Conditions for the Securities Purchase Agreement included the following: (i) a requirement for the Company to use the funds of the sale of such common stock to repay indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, (ii) a 90 -day "lock-up" period whereby the Company is restricted from certain sales of equity securities and (iii) a requirement for the Company to pay certain transaction expenses of the Purchasers up to $100,000 . The Company used $39.2 million of the proceeds to pay down our debt, as described in note 5, "Debt" above.

Registration Rights Agreement

On February 22, 2017, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the "Registration Rights Agreement") with the Purchasers, which provides the Purchasers under the Securities Purchase Agreement the ability to request registration of such securities. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company filed a registration statement in March 2017 that was declared effective during April 2017.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded initial exit activity charges due to ceasing use of data center space. We include initial charges and plan adjustments in "Exit activities, restructuring and impairments" in the accompanying statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.

The following table displays the transactions and balances for exit activities and restructuring charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands). Our real estate obligations are substantially related to our INAP COLO segment. Severance is spread across both reportable segments.

Foreign Currency Contracts

In a prior year we entered into foreign currency contracts to mitigate the risk of a portion of our Canadian compensation expense. These contracts hedged foreign exchange variations between the United States and Canadian dollar and committed us to purchase a total of $12.0 million Canadian dollars at an exchange rate of 1.2855 through June 2017. The contract expired on June 30, 2017. As of September 30, 2017 , and December 31, 2016 , the fair value of our foreign currency contracts was $0.0 million and $0.2 million , respectively, included in "Other current liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The activity of the foreign currency contracts was as follows (in thousands):

Capital Leases

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we entered into amended agreements for data center space. The lease extensions triggered new lease agreements, with new terms resulting in capital lease treatment for accounting purposes. We recorded property of $169.4 million , net of the deferred rent balance on the previous operating leases, included in "Property and equipment, net" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and capital lease obligations of $172.0 million .

As of September 30, 2017, future minimum capital lease payments and the present value of the minimum lease payments for all capital leases are as follows (in thousands):

Litigation

We are subject to legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, we do not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company has two reportable segments: INAP COLO and INAP CLOUD. These segments are comprised of strategic businesses that are defined by the service offerings they provide. Each segment is managed as an operation with well-established strategic directions and performance requirements. Each segment is led by a separate General Manager who reports directly to the Company's CODM.

The CODM evaluates segment performance using business unit contribution which is defined as business unit revenues less direct costs of sales and services, customer support, and sales and marketing, exclusive of depreciation and amortization.

We report our financial performance based on our two reportable segments, INAP COLO and INAP CLOUD, as follows:

INAP COLO

Our Colocation segment consists of colocation, managed services and hosting, and network services.

Colocation

Colocation involves providing physical space within data centers and associated services such as power, interconnection, environmental controls, monitoring and security while allowing our customers to deploy and manage their servers, storage and other equipment in our secure data centers.

Managed Services and Hosting

Managed Services and Hosting consists of leasing dedicated servers as well as storage and network equipment along with other associated hardware to our customers.  We configure and administer the hardware and operating system, provide technical support, patch management, monitoring and updates.  We offer managed hosting around the globe, including North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

Network Services

Network services includes our patented Performance IP™ service, content delivery network services, IP routing hardware and software platform and Managed Internet Route Optimizer™ Controller. By intelligently routing traffic with redundant, high-speed

connections over multiple, major Internet backbones, our network services provides high-performance and highly-reliable delivery of content, applications and communications to end users globally.

INAP CLOUD

Cloud services involve providing compute and storage services via an integrated platform that includes servers, storage and network. We built our next generation cloud platform with our high-density colocation, Performance IP service and OpenStack, a leading open source technology for cloud services.

In conjunction with our change in segments we changed the measure for determining the results of our segments to business unit contribution which includes the direct costs of sales and services, customer support and sales and marketing, exclusive of depreciation and amortization. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2017, management changed its measure of profitability to exclude corporate facilities allocation cost which are now reflected in "Sales, general and administrative," in the accompanying consolidated income statements.

The following table provides segment results, with prior period amounts reclassified to conform to the current presentation (in thousands):

We compute basic net loss per share by dividing net loss attributable to our common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. We exclude all outstanding options and unvested restricted stock as such securities are anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

Basic and diluted net loss per share is calculated as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

In previous years, INAP invested $4.1 million in Internap Japan Co., Ltd. ("Interap Japan"), our joint venture with NTT-ME Corporation and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation. We accounted for this investment using the equity method. On August 15, 2017, INAP exercised certain rights to obtain a controlling interest in Internap Japan. Upon obtaining control of the venture, we recognized Internap Japan's assets and liabilities at fair value resulting in a gain of $1.1 million which is reflected in "Equity in earnings of equity-method investment, net of taxes" in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Pro-Forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma financial information presents the combined results of operations of INAP and Internap Japan as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2016. The unaudited pro forma financial information is not intended to represent or be indicative of our consolidated results of operations that would have been reported had the INAP and Internap Japan acquisition been completed as of January 1, 2016, and should not be taken as indicative of our future consolidated results of operations.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, "Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Accounting for Goodwill Impairment" ("ASU 2017-04"), which simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating "Step 2" from the goodwill impairment test. The guidance is effective for public companies' annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We adopted ASU 2017-04 in the first quarter of 2017 and it did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory ("ASU 2016-16"), which allows the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. Historically, recognition of the income tax consequence was not recognized until the asset was sold to an outside party. This guidance should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. There are no new disclosure requirements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, and the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2016-16 as of January 1, 2017. In connection with

the adoption of the standard, the Company recorded a $2.2 million deferred tax asset and corresponding $1.9 million valuation allowance with the net difference going to retained earnings.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting" ("ASU 2016-09"), which includes multiple amendments intended to simplify aspects of share-based payment accounting, and was effective for us at January 1, 2017. We have elected to account for forfeitures as they occur, rather than estimate expected forfeitures. In connection with the adoption of the standard, the Company recorded a $10.8 million deferred tax asset and a corresponding $10.8 million valuation allowance.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Statement of Cash Flow (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" which amends Accounting Standards Codification 230, to clarify guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows ("ASU 2016-15"). The FASB issued ASU 2016-15 with the intent of reducing diversity in practice with respect to eight types of cash flows. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption will have on the presentation of our consolidated statements of cash flow.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("ASU 2014-09"), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, delaying the effective date of ASU 2014-09. Three other amendments were issued during 2016 modifying the original ASU. As amended, the new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018, using either a retrospective basis or a modified retrospective basis with early adoption permitted. We currently plan to adopt the standard effective January 1, 2018.

We are continuing to work towards establishing policies, updating our processes and implementing necessary changes to data and processes to be able to comply with the new requirements. Based on the results of our assessment to date, we do not expect that the new standard will result in significant changes in our units of accounting  or the amounts of revenue allocated between units of accounting.  Further, our initial evaluation is that monthly recurring charges from colocation and cloud services, which is a majority of our revenues, would not be materially impacted by the adoption of this standard.  We are currently evaluating the impact to certain non-recurring charges including installation as well as the impact of contract acquisition and fulfillment costs.  Our initial conclusion may change when we complete our evaluation which is proceeding as planned.

While we are continuing to assess all potential impacts of the standard, we currently believe the most significant impact relates to additional disclosures related to qualitative and quantitative information concerning the nature, amount, timing, and any uncertainty of revenue and cash flows from contracts with customers, the capitalization of costs of commissions, upfront contract costs, and other contract acquisition-based and contract fulfillment costs on the consolidated balance sheets.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842)" ("ASU 2016-02"), which requires all leases in excess of 12 months to be recognized on the balance sheet as lease assets and lease liabilities. For operating leases, a lessee is required to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability, initially measured at the present value of the lease payment; recognize a single lease cost over the lease term generally on a straight-line basis; and classify all cash payments within operating activities on the cash flow statement. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. Earlier adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS

As used herein, except as otherwise indicated by context, references to "we," "us," "our," "INAP." or "the Company" refers to Internap Corporation and our subsidiaries.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include statements related to our cash requirements, cost reduction strategies, the availability of financing, our working capital needs and our expectations for full-year 2017 capital expenditures. Our ability to achieve these forward-looking statements is based on certain assumptions, including our ability to execute on our business strategy, leveraging of multiple routes to market, expanded brand

awareness for high-performance Internet infrastructure services and customer churn levels. These assumptions may prove inaccurate in the future. Because such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause Internap's actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements, due to a variety of important factors.

Such important factors include, without limitation: our ability to execute on our business strategy into a pure-play business and drive growth while reducing costs; our ability to maintain current customers and obtain new ones, whether in a cost-effective manner or at all; increased competition in the IT infrastructure services market; our ability to achieve or sustain profitability; our ability to expand margins and drive higher returns on investment; our ability to sell into new and existing data center space;

the actual performance of our IT infrastructure services and improving operations; our ability to correctly forecast capital needs, demand planning and space utilization; our ability to respond successfully to technological change and the resulting competition; the geographic concentration of the Company's data centers in certain markets and any adverse developments in local economic conditions or the demand for data center space in these markets; our ability to identify any suitable strategic transactions; the availability of services from Internet network service providers or network service providers providing network access loops and local loops on favorable terms, or at all; the failure of third party suppliers to deliver their products and services on favorable terms, or at all; failures in our network operations centers, data centers, network access points or computer systems; our ability to provide or improve Internet infrastructure services to our customers; our ability to protect our intellectual property; our substantial amount of indebtedness, our possibility to raise additional capital when needed, on attractive terms, or at all; our ability to service existing debt or maintain compliance with financial and other covenants contained in our credit agreement; our compliance with and changes in complex laws and regulations in the U.S. and internationally; our ability to attract and retain qualified management and other personnel; and volatility in the trading price of INAP common stock.

These risks and other important factors discussed under the caption "Risk Factors" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC, and our other reports filed with the SEC could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to INAP or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the foregoing cautionary statements. All such statements speak only as of the date made, and INAP undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
