Management highlights
Key managerial messages include three business priorities: concluding sale of small cell and fiber businesses on track, preserving value from DISH agreement by engaging with authorities and legal action, and reviewing business for operational efficiency improvement. First quarter saw restructuring resulting in $65 million annualized cost reduction, and capital expenditures planned to acquire land and invest in systems for operational efficiency.
Guidance
Full year 2026 outlook unchanged, including 3.5% organic growth excluding sprint and dish impacts, site rental revenues ~$3.9B, adjusted EBITDA ~$2.7B, AFFO ~$1.9B. Assume sale of small cell and fiber closes June 30, plan $1B share repurchases and $7B debt repayment, targeting leverage 6-6.5 times.
Segment performance
Fiber segment results are reported as discontinued operations. First quarter organic growth, excluding sprint cancellations and dish terminations, was 3.1%. Site rental revenues were affected by sprint cancellations, dish terminations, and changes in non-cash straight-line revenues and amortization of prepaid rent.
Risks & headwinds
Risks include DISH default litigation outcome uncertainty, transaction approval and closing risks, market competition impacts on business, and potential effects of satellite and fiber competition on tower business.
