Filing receipts
“These changes were primarily due to (1) revenues from 6,791 towers acquired (including 6,789 towers related to the Millicom transaction) and 559 towers built since April 1, 2025, (2) organic site leasing growth from contractual escalators, new leases, and amendments and (3) increases in non-cash straight line revenue and reimbursable pass-through expenses, partially offset by lease non-renewals and tower divestitures.”
“This change was primarily due to (1) revenues from 7,133 towers acquired (including 7,110 related to the Millicom transaction) and 624 towers built since January 1, 2025, (2) organic site leasing growth from contractual escalators, new leases, and amendments and (3) increases in non-cash straight line revenue and reimbursable pass-through expenses, partially offset by lease non-renewals and tower divestitures.”
“During the remainder of 2026, we expect core leasing revenue to increase over 2025 levels, on a currency neutral basis, due in part to contractual escalators and wireless carriers deploying additional capacity and increasing geographical coverage, the full year impact of towers acquired and built during 2025 and 2026, and the revenues from towers expected to be acquired and built during the remainder of 2026, partially offset by increased churn primarily driven by Sprint and EchoStar.”
