SBA Communications Corp
Investor Relations

SBA Communications owns and manages wireless communications sites, mostly cell towers and rooftop antenna locations. It rents space on those sites to mobile carriers and other wireless users so they can place antennas and equipment where they need coverage. Its core business is simple real estate for wireless networks: it builds or acquires tower sites, keeps them in working order, and leases them out. The company makes money mainly through recurring lease payments from customers such as wireless carriers, internet-of-things providers, and other companies that need network access. It also earns fees from tower construction, site upgrades, and related services when customers add or modify equipment. Because many tenants can share the same tower, SBA can collect rent from multiple customers on one asset. What makes SBA different is its role in the wireless value chain. It does not sell phones or run a mobile network; it owns the physical locations that networks depend on. That gives it a landlord-style business model tied to long-lived infrastructure and to the steady need for reliable signal coverage.

AI Summary
Q1 2026

Guidance raised: SBA increased its full-year outlook for site leasing revenue, cash flow, adjusted EBITDA, AFFO and AFFO per share after a solid first quarter, helped by stronger-than-expected results, high straight-line revenue and favorable foreign exchange.

Leasing trends: U.S. leasing activity was steady, with quarterly new lease and amendment billings up about $10 million year over year and backlog increasing moderately from year-end levels.

International mix: International demand remained healthy, with about $4 million of quarterly new lease and amendment billings up year over year, but churn remains elevated and management said 2026 should be the peak year for that headwind.

Capital allocation: SBA stayed focused on debt paydown in the quarter, refinanced $750 million of ABS debt with the revolver, and still expects share buybacks to be part of the 2026 plan alongside dividends and investment in new assets.

Strategic growth: Management highlighted long-term growth from 6G, the 2027 upper C-band auction, mobile edge computing, and more new tower build opportunities in the U.S. and Central America.

Balance sheet: Leverage ended the quarter at 6.6x net debt to adjusted EBITDA, within the company’s 6x to 7x target range, and management reiterated plans to become an investment-grade issuer in 2026.
