Key business highlights and strategic developments

  • Achieved strong organic leasing activity in 2025, both domestically and internationally, including a 10-year master lease agreement with Verizon and the acquisition of over 7,000 towers from Millicom in Central America.

  • Upgraded to investment grade by two rating agencies, marking a transition in capital structure and opening access to deeper, cheaper financing markets.

  • Updated leverage target to 6-7x, maintaining operational flexibility and enabling continued investment and shareholder returns.

  • Portfolio review led to exits from subscale or less strategic markets, focusing on scale and relevance in core regions.

  • Returned significant capital to shareholders through dividends and $500 million in share buybacks in the past year.

U.S. market trends and outlook

  • U.S. carriers are at different stages of 5G build-outs, with T-Mobile and Verizon driving network densification and upgrades, especially for fixed wireless access.

  • The Verizon 10-year agreement secures minimum new co-locations, pricing certainty, and limits terminations, supporting long-term growth.

  • Churn in 2026 is elevated due to Sprint and DISH lease terminations, but is expected to decline significantly after this year.

  • Organic growth is projected to normalize at 4-5% annually over the next decade, driven by escalators and new leasing, with churn returning to historical levels.

  • Equipment upgrade cycles and new spectrum auctions, including those supporting 6G, are expected to drive future leasing activity.

International business performance and strategy

  • Brazil continues to deliver strong organic growth, with churn from Oi consolidation peaking in 2026 and expected to subside thereafter.

  • Central America acquisition from Millicom expanded the portfolio to over 10,000 sites, established market dominance, and secured long-term, USD-denominated contracts.

  • International M&A focus is on markets with existing presence and scale, with selective expansion and opportunistic deals like Millicom.

  • Exited markets such as the Philippines, Colombia, Argentina, and Canada to concentrate on regions with better growth prospects and scale.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
