Current report

On October 30, 2025, we entered into a new 10-year agreement with Verizon (the “Verizon agreement”). The Verizon agreement provides greater operational efficiencies for both companies helping support Verizon’s continued network modernization plans. Additionally, the agreement provides commitments for growth through new deployments across our tower portfolio over the term of the agreement.

Current report

Current report

Net income decreased $15.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year. On a constant currency basis, net income decreased $24.7 million. This change was primarily due to increases in interest expense, other operating expense, net, and provision for income taxes and decreases in domestic site leasing operating income and interest income, partially offset by a decrease in non-cash interest expense and increases in international site leasing operating income, site development operating income, and other income, net.

Other operating expense, net increased $11.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year, primarily due to an increase in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Current report

Provision for income taxes increased $78.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the prior year. This change was primarily due to the impact of foreign currency exchange rates and increases in foreign deferred taxes and deferred withholding taxes.

Current report

Our capital allocation policy, which is built upon predictable strong cash flows, continues to prioritize opportunistically pursuing investment in quality assets that meet our return criteria while maintaining flexibility to continue our buyback program and increase our dividend growth over-time. Based on our evaluation of market opportunities for portfolio growth and the current interest rate environment, we have also prioritized repayment of debt in the past few years which minimizes interest expense and supports AFFO per share growth and, we believe, creates a path for our move towards issuing investment grade debt. Consequently, in the short-term, we will also focus on reducing our ratio of secured debt to unsecured debt as existing secured debt maturities come due or are within their par call window.

Current report

(1)The nine months ended September 30, 2025 excludes a $139.6 million acquisition completed during the third quarter of 2025 which was not funded until the fourth quarter of 2025 and is recorded in Accounts payable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2025.

Previous wording

We are a leading independent owner and operator of wireless communications infrastructure, including tower structures, rooftops, and other structures that support antennas used for wireless communications, which we collectively refer to as “towers” or “sites.” Our principal operations are in the United States and its territories. In addition, we own and operate towers in South America, Central America, Canada, and Africa. Our primary business line is our site leasing business, which contributed 97.7% of our total segment operating profit for the six months ended June 30, 2025. During the first quarter of 2025, we sold all of our towers and ended our operations in both the Philippines and Colombia. On July 21, 2025, we entered into an agreement to sell all of our 369 towers held in Canada which we expect to close during the fourth quarter of 2025. In our site leasing business, we (1) lease space to wireless service providers and other customers on assets that we own or operate and (2) manage rooftop and tower sites for property owners under various contractual arrangements. As of June 30, 2025, we owned 44,065 towers, a substantial portion of which have been built by us or built by other tower owners or operators who, like us, have built such towers to lease space to multiple wireless service providers. Our other business line is our site development business, through which we assist wireless service providers in developing and maintaining their own wireless service networks.

In our site leasing business, we (1) lease space to wireless service providers and other customers on assets that we own or operate and (2) manage rooftop and tower sites for property owners under various contractual arrangements. As of September 30, 2025, we owned 44,581 towers, a substantial portion of which have been built by us or built by other tower owners or operators who, like us, have built such towers to lease space to multiple wireless service providers.

Previous wording

Our primary focus is the leasing of antenna space on our multi-tenant towers to a variety of wireless service providers under long-term lease contracts in the United States, South America, Central America, Canada, and Africa. As of June 30, 2025, no U.S. state or territory accounted for more than 10% of our total tower portfolio by tower count, and no U.S. state or territory accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025. In addition, as of June 30, 2025, approximately 30% and 10% of our total towers are located in Brazil and Guatemala, respectively. No other international market (each country is considered a market) represented more than 5% of our total towers.

Previous wording

Ground leases and other property interests are generally for an initial term of five years or more with multiple renewal periods, which are at our option. Our ground leases either (1) contain specific annual rent escalators or (2) escalate annually in accordance with an inflationary index. As of June 30, 2025, approximately 70% of our tower structures were located on parcels of land that we own, land subject to perpetual easements, or parcels of land in which we have a leasehold interest that extends beyond 20 years. For any given tower, costs are relatively fixed over a monthly or an annual time period. As such, operating costs for owned towers do not generally increase as a result of adding additional customers to the tower. The amount of property taxes varies from site to site depending on the taxing jurisdiction and the height and age of the tower. The ongoing maintenance requirements are typically minimal and include replacing lighting systems, painting a tower, or upgrading or repairing an access road or fencing.

Previous wording

In Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Panama, significantly all of our revenue, expenses, and capital expenditures arising from our activities are denominated in U.S. dollars. Specifically, most of our ground leases and other property interests, tenant leases, and tower-related expenses are paid in U.S. dollars. In most of our Central American markets, our local currency obligations are principally limited to (1) permitting and other local fees, (2) utilities, and (3) taxes. In Brazil, Canada, Chile, and South Africa, significantly all of our revenue, expenses, and capital expenditures, including tenant leases, ground leases and other property interests, and other tower-related expenses are denominated in local currency. In Costa Rica, Peru, and Tanzania, our revenue, expenses, and capital expenditures, including tenant leases, ground leases and other property interests, and other tower-related expenses are denominated in a mix of local currency and U.S. dollars.

Previous wording

During the remainder of 2025, we expect core site leasing revenue in both our domestic and international segments to increase over 2024 levels, on a currency neutral basis, due in part to wireless carriers deploying unused spectrum, the full year impact of towers acquired and built during 2024, and the revenues from towers expected to be acquired and built during 2025. We believe our site leasing business is characterized by stable and long-term recurring revenues, predictable operating costs, and minimal non-discretionary capital expenditures. Due to the nature and mix of our tower portfolio, we expect future expenditures required to maintain these towers to be minimal. Consequently, we expect to grow our cash flows by (1) adding tenants to our towers at minimal incremental costs by using existing tower capacity or requiring wireless service providers to bear all or a portion of the cost of tower modifications and (2) executing monetary amendments as wireless service providers add or upgrade their equipment. Furthermore, because our towers are strategically positioned, we have historically experienced low tenant lease terminations as a percentage of revenue other than in connection with customer consolidation or cessations of a specific technology.
