AMERICAN TOWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(tabular amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accompanying consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by American Tower Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “ATC” or the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The financial information included herein is unaudited. However, the Company believes that all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations for such periods have been included. The consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation—The accompanying consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and those entities in which it has a controlling interest. Investments in entities that the Company does not control are accounted for using the equity method or as investments in equity securities, depending upon the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company holds (i) a 52% controlling interest in subsidiaries whose holdings consist of the Company’s operations in France, Germany and Spain (such subsidiaries collectively, “ATC Europe”) (Allianz and CDPQ (each as defined in note 11) hold the noncontrolling interests), (ii) a 51% controlling interest in a joint venture whose holdings consist of the Company’s operations in Bangladesh (Confidence Tower Holdings Ltd. (“Confidence Group”) holds the noncontrolling interest) and (iii) a controlling common equity interest of approximately 71% in the Company’s U.S. data center business (Stonepeak (as defined and further discussed in note 11) holds approximately 29% of the outstanding common equity and 100% of the outstanding mandatorily convertible preferred equity). As of March 31, 2025, ATC Europe holds an 87% and an 83% controlling interest in subsidiaries that consist of the Company’s operations in Germany and Spain, respectively (PGGM holds the noncontrolling interests). See note 11 for a discussion of changes to the Company’s noncontrolling interests during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Change in Reportable Segments— During the fourth quarter of 2024, following recent divestitures, including the ATC TIPL Transaction (as defined in note 15), and changes to its organizational structure, the Company’s Asia-Pacific (“APAC”) property segment and its Africa property segment were combined into the Africa & APAC property segment. As a result, the Company has six reportable segments: U.S. & Canada property (which includes all assets in the United States and Canada, other than the Company’s data center facilities and related assets), Africa & APAC property, Europe property, Latin America property, Data Centers and Services, which are discussed further in note 14. The change in reportable segments had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for any periods. Historical financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) has been adjusted to reflect the change in reportable segments.

Sale of South Africa Fiber—On March 6, 2025, the Company, through its subsidiary ATC South Africa Wireless Infrastructure Proprietary Limited, completed the sale of its fiber assets in South Africa (“South Africa Fiber”) for total consideration of 2.5 billion South African Rand (approximately $137.7 million at the date of closing), resulting in a gain on the sale of approximately $53.6 million, which was included in Other operating income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As a result of the transaction, the Company disposed of $6.1 million of goodwill based on the relative fair value of South Africa Fiber and the portion of the applicable goodwill reporting unit that was expected to be retained. Prior to the divestiture, South Africa Fiber’s operating results were included within the Africa & APAC property segment.


Proceeds received at closing	$	137.7
Net assets at closing	(84.1)


Total gain on sale included in Other operating expenses (1)	$	53.6

_______________

(1)Excludes an estimated $20.8 million of taxes payable.

Significant Accounting Policies—The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to

AMERICAN TOWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(tabular amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted)

the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2025, other than those noted below.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash—The reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the applicable balance sheet that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statements of cash flows is as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Cash and cash equivalents	$	2,103.7	$	2,217.0
Restricted cash	135.5		127.3
Cash and cash equivalents included in assets of discontinued operations	—		172.1
Restricted cash included in assets of discontinued operations	—		0.3
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	2,239.2	$	2,516.7

Revenue—The Company’s revenue is derived from leasing the right to use its communications sites, the land on which the sites are located, the land underlying its customers’ sites and the space in its data center facilities (the “lease component”) and from the reimbursement of costs incurred by the Company in operating the communications sites and data center facilities and supporting its customers’ equipment as well as other services and contractual rights (the “non-lease component”). Most of the Company’s revenue is derived from leasing arrangements and is accounted for as lease revenue unless the timing and pattern of revenue recognition of the non-lease component differs from the lease component. If the timing and pattern of the non-lease component revenue recognition differs from that of the lease component, the Company separately determines the stand-alone selling prices and pattern of revenue recognition for each performance obligation. Revenue related to distributed antenna system (“DAS”) networks and fiber and other related assets results from agreements with customers that are generally not accounted for as leases.

Non-lease property revenue—Non-lease property revenue consists primarily of revenue generated from DAS networks, fiber and other property related revenue. DAS networks and fiber arrangements generally require that the Company provide the tenant the right to use available capacity on the applicable communications infrastructure. Performance obligations are satisfied over time for the duration of the arrangements. Non-lease property revenue also includes revenue generated from interconnection offerings in the Company’s data center facilities. Interconnection offerings are generally contracted on a month-to-month basis and are cancellable by the Company or the data center customer at any time. Performance obligations are satisfied over time for the duration of the arrangements. Other property related revenue streams, which include site inspections, are not material on either an individual or consolidated basis. There were no material changes in the receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Services revenue—The Company offers tower-related services in the United States. These services include site application, zoning and permitting (“AZP”), structural and mount analyses, and construction management. There is a single performance obligation related to AZP and construction management, and revenue is recognized over time based on milestones achieved, which are determined based on costs expected to be incurred. Structural and mount analyses services may have more than one performance obligation, contingent upon the number of contracted services. Revenue is recognized at the point in time the services are completed.

A summary of revenue disaggregated by source and geography is as follows:


Three Months Ended March 31, 2025	U.S. & Canada		Africa & APAC		Europe		Latin America		Data Centers		Total
Non-lease property revenue	$	74.7	$	12.0	$	2.8	$	26.0	$	35.9	$	151.4

_______________

(1)Excludes the operating results of ATC TIPL (as defined in note 15), which are reported as discontinued operations. See note 15 for further discussion.

Property revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 includes straight-line revenue of $17.1 million and $79.1 million, respectively.

The Company actively monitors the creditworthiness of its customers. In recognizing customer revenue, the Company assesses the collectibility of both the amounts billed and the portion recognized in advance of billing on a straight-line basis. This assessment takes customer credit risk and business and industry conditions into consideration to ultimately determine the collectibility of the amounts billed. To the extent the amounts, based on management’s estimates, may not be collectible, revenue recognition is deferred until such point as collectibility is determined to be reasonably assured.

Accounting Standards Updates—In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance which requires public entities to provide enhanced income tax disclosures on an annual basis. The new guidance requires an expanded rate reconciliation and the disaggregation of cash taxes paid by U.S. federal, U.S. state and foreign jurisdictions. The updated guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued guidance which is intended to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses, primarily through additional disclosures about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization, and depletion) included in each relevant expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations. The guidance is effective on a prospective basis, with the option for retrospective application, for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. LEASES

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at the inception of the agreement. The Company considers an arrangement to be a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of the communications infrastructure or ground space underneath communications infrastructure for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company is both a lessor and a lessee.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company made no changes to the methods described in note 4 to its consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Form 10-K. As of March 31, 2025, the Company does not have any material related party leases as either a lessor or a lessee. To the extent there are any intercompany leases, these are eliminated in consolidation.

Lessor— Historically, the Company has been able to successfully renew its applicable leases as needed to ensure continuation of its revenue. Accordingly, the Company assumes that it will have access to the communications infrastructure or ground space underlying its sites when calculating future minimum rental receipts through the end of the respective terms. Future minimum rental receipts expected under non-cancellable operating lease agreements as of March 31, 2025 were as follows:


Fiscal Year	Amount (1) (2)
Remainder of 2025	$	6,102.5
2026	7,922.6

(1)Balances are translated at the applicable period-end exchange rate, which may impact comparability between periods.

(2)Balances represent contractual amounts owed with no adjustments made for expected collectibility.

If incentives are present in the Company’s leases, they are evaluated to determine proper treatment and, to the extent present, are recorded in Other current assets and Other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets and amortized on a straight line basis over the corresponding lease term as a non-cash reduction to revenue. As of March 31, 2025, the remaining weighted average amortization period of the Company’s lease incentives was 9 years. As of March 31, 2025, Other current assets and Other non-current assets include $38.3 million and $334.6 million, respectively, for lease incentives.

Lessee—The Company assesses its right-of-use asset and other lease-related assets for impairment, as described in note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Form 10-K.

_______________

(1)Acquired network location intangibles are amortized over the remaining estimated useful life of the tower, taking into account residual value, generally up to 30 years, as the Company considers these intangibles to be directly related to the tower assets.

The acquired network location intangibles represent the value to the Company of the incremental revenue growth that could potentially be obtained from leasing the excess capacity on acquired tower communications infrastructure. The acquired tenant-related intangibles typically represent the value to the Company of tenant contracts and relationships in place at the time of an acquisition or similar transaction, including assumptions regarding estimated renewals. Other intangibles represent the value of acquired licenses, trade name and in place leases. In place lease value represents the fair value of costs avoided in securing data center customers, including vacancy periods, legal costs and commissions. In place lease value also includes assumptions on similar costs avoided upon the renewal or extension of existing leases on a basis consistent with occupancy assumptions used in the fair value of other assets.

The Company amortizes its acquired intangible assets on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. As of March 31, 2025, the remaining weighted average amortization period of the Company’s intangible assets was 20 years. Amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $214.1 million and $229.4 million, respectively. Based on current exchange rates, the Company expects to record amortization expense as follows over the remainder of the current year and the five subsequent years:


Fiscal Year	Amount
Remainder of 2025	$	647.2
2026	828.2
2027	812.7
2028	803.6

(1)Accrued and unpaid interest on U.S. Dollar (“USD”) denominated notes is payable in USD semi-annually in arrears and will be computed from the issue date on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

(2)The Company may redeem the Notes at any time, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus a make-whole premium, together with accrued interest to the redemption date. If the Company redeems the Notes on or after the par call date, the Company will not be required to pay a make-whole premium.

If the Company undergoes a change of control and corresponding ratings decline, each as defined in the supplemental indenture for the Notes, the Company may be required to repurchase all of the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any), up to but not including the repurchase date. The Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s other senior unsecured debt obligations and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other obligations of its subsidiaries.

The supplemental indenture contains certain covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to merge, consolidate or sell assets and its (together with its subsidiaries’) ability to incur liens. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions, including that the Company and its subsidiaries may incur certain liens on assets, mortgages or other liens securing indebtedness if the aggregate amount of indebtedness secured by such liens does not exceed 3.5x Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the supplemental indenture.

The Bangladesh Term Loan does not require amortization of principal and may be paid prior to maturity in whole or in part at the Company’s option without penalty or premium.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company determines the fair value of its financial instruments based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Below are the three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


			Level 1			Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date.

			Level 2			Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

			Level 3			Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis—The fair values of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured on a recurring basis at fair value were as follows:


	March 31, 2025					December 31, 2024
	Fair Value Measurements Using					Fair Value Measurements Using

Assets:

Investments in equity securities (1)	$	106.2	$	5.3	—	$	98.6	$	5.3	—

_______________

(1)Investments in equity securities are recorded in Notes receivable and other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses for equity securities are recorded in Other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations in the current period. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized unrealized gains (losses) of $7.6 million and $(14.7) million, respectively, for equity securities held as of March 31, 2025.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Assets Held and Used—The Company’s long-lived assets are recorded at amortized cost and, if impaired, are adjusted to fair value using Level 3 inputs. There were no material long-lived asset impairments during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024 and there were no significant unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value of long-lived assets during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024.

There were no other items measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three months ended March 31, 2025 or 2024.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments—The Company’s financial instruments for which the carrying value reasonably approximates fair value at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The Company’s estimates of fair value of its long-term obligations, including the current portion, are based primarily upon reported market values. For long-term debt not actively traded, fair value is estimated using either indicative price quotes or a discounted cash flow analysis using rates for debt with similar terms and maturities. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying value of long-term obligations, including the current portion, was $36.9 billion and $36.5 billion, respectively. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of long-term obligations, including the current portion, was $35.2 billion, of which $31.5 billion was measured using Level 1 inputs and $3.7 billion was measured using Level 2 inputs. As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of long-term obligations, including the current portion, was $34.6 billion, of which $31.3 billion was measured using Level 1 inputs and $3.3 billion was measured using Level 2 inputs.

8. INCOME TAXES

The Company provides for income taxes at the end of each interim period based on the estimated effective tax rate (“ETR”) for the full fiscal year. Cumulative adjustments to the Company’s estimate are recorded in the interim period in which a change in the estimated annual ETR is determined. Under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, the Company may deduct earnings distributed to stockholders against the income generated by its real estate investment trust (“REIT”) operations. The Company continues to be subject to income taxes on the income of its domestic taxable REIT subsidiaries and income taxes in foreign jurisdictions where it conducts operations.

The Company provides valuation allowances if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management assesses the available evidence to estimate if sufficient future taxable income will be generated to use the existing deferred tax assets. Valuation allowances may be reversed if, based on changes in facts and circumstances, the net deferred tax assets have been determined to be realizable.

The increase in the income tax provision during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to taxes incurred as a result of the sale of South Africa Fiber.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total unrecognized tax benefits that would impact the ETR, if recognized, were approximately $105.4 million and $101.3 million, respectively. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the three months ended March 31, 2025 includes (i) additions to the Company’s existing tax positions of $14.3 million, (ii) additions due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations of $2.2 million, (iii) reductions due to the expiration of statutes of limitation of $10.8 million, and (iv) reductions to the Company’s prior year tax positions and settlements of $1.6 million. Unrecognized tax benefits are expected to change over the next 12 months if certain tax matters ultimately settle with the applicable taxing jurisdiction during this time frame, as described in note 12 to the

	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2025		2024
Penalties and income tax-related interest expense		$	5.5	$	4.4

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the total amount of accrued income tax related interest and penalties included in the consolidated balance sheets were $62.0 million and $58.5 million, respectively.

9. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Summary of Stock-Based Compensation Plans—The Company maintains equity incentive plans that provide for the grant of stock-based awards to its directors, officers and employees. The Company’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2007 Plan”), provides for the grant of non-qualified and incentive stock options, as well as restricted stock units, restricted stock and other stock-based awards. Exercise prices for non-qualified and incentive stock options are not less than the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Equity awards typically vest ratably. Awards granted prior to March 10, 2023 generally vest over four years for time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and stock options. In December 2022, the Company’s Compensation Committee changed the terms of its awards to generally vest over three years. The change in vesting terms is applicable for new awards granted beginning on March 10, 2023 and does not change the vesting terms applicable to grants awarded prior to March 10, 2023. Performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) generally vest over three years. Stock options generally expire ten years from the date of grant. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had the ability to grant stock-based awards with respect to an aggregate of 2.7 million shares of common stock under the 2007 Plan. In addition, the Company maintains an employee stock purchase plan (the “ESPP”) pursuant to which eligible employees may purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on the last day of each bi-annual offering period at a 15% discount from the lower of the closing market value on the first or last day of such offering period. The offering periods run from June 1 through November 30 and from December 1 through May 31 of each year.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recorded the following stock-based compensation expense in selling, general, administrative and development expense:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
		2025		2024
Stock-based compensation expense (1)		$	53.4	$	62.8

_______________

(1)For the three months ended March 31, 2025, includes the reversal of $7.1 million of previously recognized stock-based compensation expense associated with awards forfeited in connection with the departure of the Company’s former Executive Vice President and President, APAC due to such role being eliminated. For the three months ended March, 31 2024, excludes $2.1 million of stock-based compensation expense related to ATC TIPL, which is included in Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Stock Options—As of March 31, 2025, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock options.

The Company’s option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was as follows (shares disclosed in full amounts):


						Number of Options
Outstanding as of January 1, 2025						416,672

(tabular amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted)

Restricted Stock Units—As of March 31, 2025, total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSUs granted under the 2007 Plan was $211.6 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately two years. Vesting of RSUs is subject generally to the employee’s continued employment or death, disability or qualified retirement (each as defined in the applicable RSU award agreement).

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units—During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) granted an aggregate of 84,575 PSUs (the “2025 PSUs”) to its executive officers and established the performance and market metrics for these awards. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Compensation Committee granted an aggregate of 87,550 PSUs (the “2024 PSUs”) and 118,684 PSUs (the “2023 PSUs”) respectively, to its executive officers and established the performance metrics for these awards. Threshold, target and maximum parameters were established for the metrics for a three-year performance period with respect to each of the 2025 PSUs, the 2024 PSUs and the 2023 PSUs and will be used to calculate the number of shares that will be issuable when each award vests, which may range from zero to 200% of the target amounts. At the end of each three-year performance period, the number of shares that vest will depend on the degree of achievement against the pre-established goals. PSUs will be paid out in common stock at the end of each performance period, subject generally to the executive’s continued employment or death, disability or qualified retirement (each as defined in the applicable PSU award agreement). PSUs will accrue dividend equivalents prior to vesting, which will be paid out only in respect of shares that actually vest.

The 2025 PSUs and the 2024 PSUs include a market condition component based on relative total shareholder return as measured against the REIT constituents included in the S&P 500 Index. For the component of the 2025 PSUs and the 2024 PSUs subject to a market condition, fair value is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which uses multiple input variables to determine the probability of satisfying the market condition requirements. The grant date fair value of the market condition component of the 2025 PSUs and the 2024 PSUs is $286.21 and $216.11, respectively.

Key assumptions used to apply this pricing model were as follows:


	2025		2024

Expected term (years)	2.81		2.81
Risk-free interest rate	3.91	%	4.31	%
Annualized volatility	27.91	%	26.75	%

Restricted Stock Units and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units—The Company’s RSU and PSU activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was as follows (shares disclosed in full amounts):


	RSUs	PSUs

Vested and deferred as of March 31, 2025 (5)	14,233	77,708

_______________

(1)PSUs consist of the target number of shares issuable at the end of the three-year performance period for the 2024 PSUs and the 2023 PSUs, or 87,550 shares and 118,684 shares, respectively, and the shares issuable at the end of the three-year performance period for the PSUs granted in 2022 (the “2022 PSUs”) based on achievement against the performance metrics for the three-year performance period, or 133,034 shares.

(2)PSUs consist of the target number of shares issuable at the end of the three-year performance period for the 2025 PSUs, or 84,575 shares.

(3)PSUs consist of shares vested pursuant to the 2022 PSUs. There are no additional shares to be earned related to the 2022 PSUs.

(4)PSUs consist of shares forfeited in connection with the departure of the Company’s former Executive Vice President and President, APAC due to such role being eliminated, which includes the target number of shares issuable at the end of the three-year performance period for the 2024 PSUs and the 2023 PSUs pursuant to the terms of the award agreements.

(5)Vested and deferred RSUs and PSUs are related to deferred compensation for certain former employees.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company’s Executive Vice President and President, APAC left the Company due to such role being eliminated. As the conditions for vesting pursuant to the terms of the award agreements for such executive’s 2024 PSUs and 2023 PSUs were not met, the awards were forfeited. Accordingly, the Company reversed $5.3 million of previously recognized stock-based compensation expense associated with these awards.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded $3.9 million in stock-based compensation expense for equity awards in which the performance goals have been established and were probable of being achieved. The remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to these awards at March 31, 2025 was $19.9 million based on the Company’s current assessment of the probability of achieving the performance goals. The weighted average period over which the cost will be recognized is less than one year.

10. EQUITY

Sales of Equity Securities—The Company receives proceeds from sales of its equity securities pursuant to the ESPP and upon exercise of stock options granted under the 2007 Plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company received an aggregate of $19.2 million in proceeds upon exercises of stock options.

Stock Repurchase Programs—In March 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $1.5 billion of its common stock (the “2011 Buyback”). In December 2017, the Board of Directors approved an additional stock repurchase program, pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $2.0 billion of its common stock (the “2017 Buyback,” and, together with the 2011 Buyback, the “Buyback Programs”).

Under the Buyback Programs, the Company is authorized to purchase shares from time to time through open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions not to exceed market prices, and (with respect to such open market purchases) pursuant to plans adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), in accordance with securities laws and other legal requirements and subject to market conditions and other factors.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no repurchases under either of the Buyback Programs. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has repurchased a total of 14,451,325 shares of its common stock under the 2011 Buyback for an aggregate of $1.5 billion, including commissions and fees. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has not made any repurchases under the 2017 Buyback.

The Company expects to fund any further repurchases of its common stock through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated by operations and borrowings under its credit facilities. Repurchases under the Buyback Programs are subject to, among other things, the Company having available cash to fund the repurchases.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation— The Company periodically becomes involved in various claims and lawsuits that are incidental to its business. While the Company’s management, after consultation with counsel, currently believes the ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Were an unfavorable ruling to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

Verizon Transaction—In March 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with various operating entities of Verizon Communications Inc. (“Verizon”) that currently provides for the lease, sublease or management of approximately 11,100 wireless communications sites, which commenced on March 27, 2015. The average term of the lease or sublease for all communications sites at the inception of the agreement was approximately 28 years, assuming renewals or extensions of the underlying ground leases for the sites. The Company has the option to purchase the leased sites in tranches, subject to the applicable lease, sublease or management rights upon its scheduled expiration. Each tower is assigned to an annual tranche, ranging from 2034 to 2047, which represents the outside expiration date for the sublease rights to the towers in that tranche. The purchase price for each tranche is a fixed amount stated in the lease for such tranche plus the fair market value of certain alterations made to the related towers. The aggregate purchase option price for the towers leased and subleased is approximately $5.0 billion. Verizon occupied the sites as a tenant for an initial term of ten years and has exercised its first renewal option for a five-year term. Verizon has seven optional successive five-year terms remaining; each such term shall be governed by standard master lease agreement terms established as a part of the transaction.

AT&T Transaction—The Company has an agreement with SBC Communications Inc., a predecessor entity to AT&T Inc. (“AT&T”), that currently provides for the lease or sublease of approximately 1,700 towers, which commenced between December 2000 and August 2004. Substantially all of the towers are part of the Trust Securitizations. The average term of the lease or sublease for all sites at the inception of the agreement was approximately 27 years, assuming renewals or extensions of the underlying ground leases for the sites. The Company has the option to purchase the sites subject to the applicable lease or sublease upon its expiration. Each tower is assigned to an annual tranche, ranging from 2013 to 2032, which represents the outside expiration date for the sublease rights to that tower. The purchase price for each site is a fixed amount stated in the lease for that site plus the fair market value of certain alterations made to the related tower by AT&T. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has purchased an aggregate of approximately 700 of the subleased towers which are subject to the applicable agreement. The aggregate purchase option price for the remaining towers leased and subleased is $1.2 billion and includes per annum accretion through the applicable expiration of the lease or sublease of a site. For the applicable sites, AT&T has the right to continue to lease space subject to a monthly fee, which shall escalate in accordance with the standard master lease agreement for the remainder of AT&T’s tenancy. AT&T shall have the right to renew each lease for up to five successive five-year terms.

Other Contingencies—The Company is subject to income tax and other taxes in the geographic areas where it holds assets or operates, and periodically receives notifications of audits, assessments or other actions by taxing authorities. Taxing authorities may issue notices or assessments while audits are being conducted. In certain jurisdictions, taxing authorities may issue assessments with minimal examination. These notices and assessments do not represent amounts that the Company is obligated to pay and are often not reflective of the actual tax liability for which the Company will ultimately be liable. In the process of responding to assessments of taxes that the Company believes are not enforceable, the Company avails itself of both administrative and judicial remedies. The Company evaluates the circumstances of each notification or assessment based on the information available and, in those instances in which the Company does not anticipate a successful defense of positions taken in its tax filings, a liability is recorded in the appropriate amount based on the underlying assessment.

14. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

During the fourth quarter of 2024, following recent divestitures, including the ATC TIPL Transaction, and changes to its organizational structure, the Company reviewed and changed its operating and reportable segments. The Company’s Asia-Pacific property segment and Africa property segment were combined into the Africa & APAC property segment. As a result, the Company now has six reportable segments: U.S. & Canada property (which includes all assets in the United States and Canada, other than the Company’s data center facilities and related assets), Africa & APAC property, Europe property, Latin America property, Data Centers and Services. The change in operating and reportable segments had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for any periods. Historical financial information included in this Quarterly Report has been adjusted to reflect the change in reportable segments.

Property

Communications Sites and Related Communications Infrastructure—The Company’s primary business is leasing space on multitenant communications sites to wireless service providers, radio and television broadcast companies, wireless data providers, government agencies and municipalities and tenants in a number of other industries. The Company has historically reported these operations on a geographic basis.

Data Centers—The Company’s Data Centers segment relates to data center facilities and related assets that the Company owns and operates in the United States. The Data Centers segment offers different types of leased infrastructure and related services from, and requires different resources, skill sets and marketing strategies than the existing property operating segment in the U.S. & Canada.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s property operations consisted of the following:

•U.S. & Canada: property operations in Canada and the United States;

•Africa & APAC: property operations in Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya, Niger, Nigeria, the Philippines, South Africa and Uganda;

•Europe: property operations in France, Germany and Spain;

•Latin America: property operations in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Paraguay and Peru; and

•Data Centers: data center property operations in the United States.

Services

The Company’s Services segment offers tower-related services in the United States, including AZP, structural and mount analyses, and construction management, which primarily support its site leasing business, including the addition of new tenants and equipment on its communications sites. The Services segment is a strategic business unit that offers different services from, and requires different resources, skill sets and marketing strategies than, the property operating segments.

The accounting policies applied in compiling segment information below are similar to those described in note 1. Among other factors, in evaluating financial performance in each business segment, management uses segment gross margin and segment operating profit. The Company defines segment gross margin as segment revenue less segment operating expenses excluding Depreciation, amortization and accretion; Selling, general, administrative and development expense; and Other operating expenses. The Company defines segment operating profit as segment gross margin less Selling, general, administrative and development expense attributable to the segment, excluding stock-based compensation expense and corporate expenses. These measures of segment gross margin and segment operating profit are also before Interest income, Interest expense, Gain (loss) on retirement of long-term obligations, Other income (expense), Net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests and Income tax benefit (provision). The categories of expenses indicated above, such as depreciation, have been excluded from segment operating performance as they are not considered in the review of information or the evaluation of results by management. The Company’s definition of segment operating profit aligns with the Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA is widely used in the telecommunications real estate sector to measure operating performance as depreciation, amortization and accretion may vary significantly among companies depending upon accounting methods and useful lives, particularly where acquisitions and non-operating factors are involved.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”) is the Company’s chief executive officer. The CODM uses segment gross margin and segment operating profit to evaluate the segments’ operating performance, in making capital allocation decisions, and in establishing management’s compensation. Additionally, the CODM uses these metrics to monitor budget versus actual results. There are no significant revenues resulting from transactions between the

Company’s operating segments. All intercompany transactions are eliminated to reconcile segment results and assets to the consolidated statements of operations and consolidated balance sheets.

Summarized financial information concerning the Company’s reportable segments for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is shown in the following tables. The “Other” column (i) represents amounts excluded from specific segments, such as business development operations, stock-based compensation expense and corporate expenses included in Selling, general, administrative and development expense; Other operating expenses; Interest income; Interest expense; Gain (loss) on retirement of long-term obligations; and Other income (expense), and (ii) reconciles segment operating profit to Income from continuing operations before income taxes.

15. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On January 4, 2024, the Company, through its subsidiaries ATC Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. and ATC Telecom Infrastructure Private Limited (“ATC TIPL”), entered into an agreement with Data Infrastructure Trust (“DIT”), an infrastructure investment trust sponsored by an affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management, pursuant to which DIT agreed to acquire a 100% ownership interest in ATC TIPL (the “ATC TIPL Transaction”). Per the terms of the agreement, total aggregate consideration represented up to approximately 210 billion Indian Rupees (“INR”) (approximately $2.5 billion), including the value of the VIL OCDs and the VIL Shares (each as defined and further discussed below), payments on certain existing customer receivables, the repayment of existing intercompany debt and the repayment, or assumption, of the Company’s existing term loan in India, by DIT.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, ATC TIPL distributed approximately 29.6 billion INR (approximately $354.1 million) to the Company, which included the value of the VIL Shares and the VIL OCDs and the satisfaction of the economic benefit associated with the rights to payments on certain existing customer receivables. The distributions were deducted from the total aggregate consideration received by the Company at closing.

The ATC TIPL Transaction received all government and regulatory approvals during the three months ended September 30, 2024, and on September 12, 2024, the Company completed the sale of ATC TIPL and received total consideration of 182 billion INR (approximately $2.2 billion). The Company used the proceeds from the ATC TIPL Transaction to repay existing indebtedness under the 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility.

The Company recorded a loss on the sale of ATC TIPL of $1.2 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2024, which primarily included the reclassification of the Company’s cumulative translation adjustment in India upon exiting the market of $1.1 billion.

VIL Optionally Convertible Debentures—In February 2023, and as amended in August 2023, one of the Company’s customers in India, Vodafone Idea Limited (“VIL”), issued optionally convertible debentures (the “VIL OCDs”) to the Company’s subsidiary, ATC TIPL, in exchange for VIL’s payment of certain amounts towards accounts receivables. The VIL OCDs were (a) to be repaid by VIL with interest or (b) convertible into equity of VIL. The VIL OCDs were issued for an aggregate face value of 16.0 billion INR (approximately $193.2 million on the date of issuance). The VIL OCDs were to mature in tranches with 8.0 billion INR (approximately $96.6 million on the date of issuance) maturing on August 27, 2023 and 8.0 billion INR (approximately $96.6 million on the date of issuance) maturing on August 27, 2024. In August 2023, the Company amended the agreements governing the VIL OCDs to, among other items, extend the maturity of the first tranche of the VIL OCDs to August 27, 2024. The fair value of the VIL OCDs at issuance was approximately $116.5 million. The VIL OCDs accrued interest at a rate of 11.2% annually. Interest was payable to ATC TIPL semi-annually, with the first payment received in September 2023.

AMERICAN TOWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(tabular amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted)

On March 23, 2024, the Company converted an aggregate face value of 14.4 billion INR (approximately $172.7 million) of VIL OCDs into 1,440 million shares of equity of VIL (the “VIL Shares”).

On April 29, 2024, the Company completed the sale of 1,440 million VIL Shares at a price of 12.78 INR per share. The net proceeds for this transaction were approximately 18.0 billion INR (approximately $216.0 million at the date of settlement) after deducting commissions and fees.

On June 5, 2024, the Company completed the sale of the remaining aggregate face value of 1.6 billion INR (approximately $19.2 million) of the VIL OCDs. The net proceeds for this transaction, excluding accrued interest, were approximately 1.8 billion INR (approximately $22.0 million at the date of settlement) after deducting fees.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized a gain of $46.4 million on the sales of the VIL Shares and the VIL OCDs. None of the VIL Shares nor the VIL OCDs remained outstanding.

16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Data Center Acquisition—On April 1, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of a multi-tenant data center facility in Denver, Colorado, in which it previously leased space (“DE1”), for total consideration of approximately $180.0 million. The acquisition added incremental customer leases and operating spaces within DE1, and additional space and power capacity that the Company intends to develop within the data center. A preliminary purchase price allocation is not available due to the timing of the closing.

Repayment of 1.375% Senior Notes—On April 3, 2025, the Company repaid 500.0 million EUR aggregate principal amount of the 1.375% Notes upon their maturity. The 1.375% Notes were repaid using borrowings under the 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility and cash on hand. Upon completion of the repayment, none of the 1.375% Notes remained outstanding.


ITEM 2.			MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains statements about future events and expectations, or “forward-looking statements,” which relate to our goals, beliefs, strategies, plans or current expectations and other statements that are not of historical facts. For example, when we use words such as “project,” “plan,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “estimate,” “intend,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “may” or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes, we are making forward-looking statements. Certain important factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by our forward-looking statements, including those factors set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 Form 10-K”). Forward-looking statements represent management’s current expectations, beliefs and assumptions, and are inherently uncertain. We do not undertake any obligation to update our forward-looking statements.

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations that follow are based upon our consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The preparation of our financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates and such differences could be material to the financial statements. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements herein and the accompanying notes, information set forth under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in the 2024 Form 10-K, and in particular, the information set forth therein under Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

During the fourth quarter of 2024, following recent divestitures, including the ATC TIPL Transaction (as defined below), and changes to our organizational structure, we reviewed and changed our reportable segments. Our APAC property segment and our Africa property segment were combined into the Africa & APAC property segment. As a result, we now report our results in six segments: U.S. & Canada property (which includes all assets in the United States and Canada, other than our data center facilities and related assets), Africa & APAC property, Europe property, Latin America property, Data Centers and Services. In evaluating financial performance in each business segment, management uses, among other factors, segment gross margin and segment operating profit (see note 14 to our consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report). Historical financial information included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been adjusted to reflect the change in reportable segments.

In 2023, we initiated a strategic review of our India business, as further discussed below under “Results of Operations—Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes.” The strategic review concluded in January 2024 with the signed agreement for the ATC TIPL Transaction. The ATC TIPL Transaction received all government and regulatory approvals during the three months ended September 30, 2024. On September 12, 2024, we completed the ATC TIPL Transaction and received total consideration of 182 billion INR (approximately $2.2 billion). ATC TIPL’s operating results are presented as discontinued operations. See discussion below and note 15 to our consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report (“Note 15”) for further discussion. Historical financial information included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations has been adjusted to reflect the operating results of ATC TIPL as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Overview

We are one of the largest global real estate investment trusts and a leading independent owner, operator and developer of multitenant communications real estate. Our primary business is the leasing of space on communications sites to wireless service providers, radio and television broadcast companies, wireless data providers, government agencies and municipalities and tenants in a number of other industries. In addition to the communications sites in our portfolio, we manage rooftop and tower sites for property owners under various contractual arrangements. We also hold other telecommunications infrastructure and property interests that we lease primarily to communications service providers and third-party tower operators, and, as discussed further below, we hold a portfolio of highly interconnected data center facilities and related assets in the United States. Our customers include our tenants, licensees and other payers. We refer to the business encompassing the above as our property operations, which accounted for 97% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and includes our U.S. & Canada property, Africa & APAC property, Europe property and Latin America property segments and Data Centers segment.

We also offer tower-related services in the United States, including site application, zoning and permitting, structural and mount analyses, and construction management, which primarily support our site leasing business, including the addition of new tenants and equipment on our sites.

The following table details the number of communications sites, excluding managed sites, that we owned or operated as of March 31, 2025:

Sale of South Africa Fiber— On March 6, 2025, we completed the sale of our fiber assets in South Africa (“South Africa Fiber”). Prior to the divestiture, South Africa Fiber’s operating results were included within the Africa & APAC property segment.

We operate in six reportable segments: U.S. & Canada property, Africa & APAC property, Europe property, Latin America property, Data Centers and Services. In evaluating operating performance in each business segment, management uses, among other factors, segment gross margin and segment operating profit (see note 14 to our consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report).

The 2024 Form 10-K contains information regarding management’s expectations of long-term drivers of demand for our communications sites, as well as key trends, which management believes provide valuable insight into our operating and financial resource allocation decisions. The discussion below should be read in conjunction with the 2024 Form 10-K and, in particular, the information set forth therein under Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Executive Overview.”

In most of our markets, our tenant leases for our communications sites with wireless carriers generally have initial non-cancellable terms of five to ten years with multiple renewal terms. Accordingly, the vast majority of the revenue generated by our property operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was recurring revenue that we should continue to receive in future periods. Most of our tenant leases for our communications sites have provisions that periodically increase or “escalate” the rent due under the lease, typically based on (a) an annual fixed escalation (averaging approximately 3% in the United States), (b) an inflationary index in most of our international markets, or (c) a combination of both. In addition, certain of our tenant leases provide for additional revenue primarily to cover costs (pass-through revenue), such as ground rent or power and fuel costs.

Based upon existing customer leases and foreign currency exchange rates as of March 31, 2025, we expect to generate over $55 billion of non-cancellable customer lease revenue over future periods, before the impact of straight-line lease accounting.

The revenues generated by our property operations may be affected by cancellations of existing tenant leases. As discussed above, most of our tenant leases with wireless carriers and broadcasters are multiyear contracts, which typically are non-cancellable; however, in some instances, a lease may be cancelled upon the payment of a termination fee. Revenue lost from either tenant lease cancellations or the non-renewal of leases or rent renegotiations, which we refer to as churn, has historically not had a material adverse effect on the revenues generated by our consolidated property operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, churn was approximately 2% of our tenant billings, primarily driven by churn in our U.S. & Canada property segment, as discussed below.

We expect that our churn rate in our U.S. & Canada property segment will remain elevated through 2025 due to contractual lease cancellations and non-renewals by T-Mobile, including legacy Sprint Corporation leases, pursuant to the terms of our master lease agreement with T-Mobile US, Inc. entered into in September 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Included in our analysis of our results of operations are discussions regarding earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion, as adjusted (“Adjusted EBITDA”), Funds From Operations, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit FFO”) attributable to American Tower Corporation common stockholders, Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) attributable to American Tower Corporation common stockholders (“AFFO attributable to American Tower Corporation common stockholders”) and Segment gross margin.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as Net income before Income (loss) from equity method investments; Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of taxes; Income tax benefit (provision); Other income (expense); Gain (loss) on retirement of long-term obligations; Interest expense; Interest income; Other operating income (expense), including Goodwill impairment; Depreciation, amortization and accretion; and stock-based compensation expense.

Nareit FFO attributable to American Tower Corporation common stockholders is defined as net income before gains or losses from the sale or disposal of real estate, real estate related impairment charges, real estate related depreciation, amortization and accretion including adjustments and distributions for unconsolidated affiliates and noncontrolling interests and adjustments for discontinued operations. In this section, we refer to Nareit FFO attributable to American Tower Corporation common stockholders as “Nareit FFO (common stockholders).”

We define AFFO attributable to American Tower Corporation common stockholders as Nareit FFO (common stockholders) before (i) straight-line revenue and expense; (ii) stock-based compensation expense; (iii) the deferred portion of income tax and other income tax adjustments; (iv) non-real estate related depreciation, amortization and accretion; (v) amortization of deferred financing costs, debt discounts and premiums and long-term deferred interest charges; (vi) other income (expense); (vii) gain (loss) on retirement of long-term obligations; and (viii) other operating income (expense); less cash payments related to capital improvements and cash payments related to corporate capital expenditures and including adjustments and distributions for unconsolidated affiliates and noncontrolling interests and adjustments for discontinued operations, which includes the impact of noncontrolling interests and discontinued operations on both Nareit FFO and the corresponding adjustments included in AFFO. In this section, we refer to AFFO attributable to American Tower Corporation common stockholders as “AFFO (common stockholders).”

We define Segment gross margin as segment revenue less segment operating expenses, excluding depreciation, amortization and accretion; selling, general, administrative and development expense; and other operating expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA, Nareit FFO (common stockholders), AFFO (common stockholders) and Segment gross margin are not intended to replace net income or any other performance measures determined in accordance with GAAP. None of Adjusted EBITDA, Nareit FFO (common stockholders), AFFO (common stockholders) or Segment gross margin represents cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and, therefore, these measures should not be considered indicative of cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of liquidity or a measure of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Rather, Adjusted EBITDA, Nareit FFO (common stockholders), AFFO (common stockholders) and Segment gross margin are presented as we believe each is a useful indicator of our current operating performance. We believe that these metrics are useful to an investor in evaluating our operating performance because (1) each is a key measure used by our management team for decision making purposes and for evaluating our operating segments’ performance; (2) Adjusted EBITDA is a component underlying our credit ratings; (3) Adjusted EBITDA is widely used in the telecommunications real estate sector to measure operating performance as depreciation, amortization and accretion may vary significantly among companies depending upon accounting methods and useful lives, particularly where acquisitions and non-operating factors are involved; (4) AFFO

(common stockholders) is widely used in the telecommunications real estate sector to adjust Nareit FFO (common stockholders) for items that may otherwise cause material fluctuations in Nareit FFO (common stockholders) growth from period to period that would not be representative of the underlying performance of property assets in those periods; (5) Segment gross margin provides valuable insight into the site-level profitability of our assets (6) each provides investors with a meaningful measure for evaluating our period-to-period operating performance by eliminating items that are not operational in nature; and (7) each provides investors with a measure for comparing our results of operations to those of other companies, particularly those in our industry.

Our measurement of Adjusted EBITDA, Nareit FFO (common stockholders), AFFO (common stockholders) and Segment gross margin may not, however, be fully comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Reconciliations of Adjusted EBITDA, Nareit FFO (common stockholders) and AFFO (common stockholders) to net income and Segment gross margin to gross margin, the most directly comparable GAAP measures, have been included below.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

U.S. & Canada property segment revenue decrease of $12.4 million was attributable to:

• A decrease of $56.5 million in other revenue, primarily due to a decrease of $56.7 million due to straight-line accounting;

• Partially offset by tenant billings growth of $44.3 million, which was driven by:

• $38.0 million due to leasing additional space on our sites (“colocations”) and amendments;

• $8.1 million resulting from contractual escalations, net of churn; and

• $1.0 million generated from sites acquired or constructed since the beginning of the prior-year period (“newly acquired or constructed sites”);

• Partially offset by a decrease of $2.8 million from other tenant billings.

Segment revenue growth was partially offset by a decrease of $0.2 million attributable to the negative impact of foreign currency translation related to fluctuations in Canadian Dollar.

Africa & APAC property segment revenue growth of $36.5 million was attributable to:

• Tenant billings growth of $33.2 million, which was driven by:

• $12.3 million resulting from contractual escalations, net of churn;

• $11.7 million due to colocations and amendments;

• $6.6 million generated from newly acquired or constructed sites; and

• $2.6 million from other tenant billings;

• An increase of $7.9 million in other revenue; and

• An increase of $3.0 million in pass-through revenue.

Segment revenue growth was partially offset by a decrease of $7.6 million, attributable to the impact of foreign currency translation, which included, among others, negative impacts of $8.2 million related to fluctuations in Nigerian Naira and $7.6 million related to fluctuations in Ghanaian Cedi, offset by positive impacts of $6.0 million related to fluctuations in Kenyan Shilling and $2.6 million related to fluctuations in Ugandan Shilling.

Europe property segment revenue growth of $8.5 million was attributable to:

• Tenant billings growth of $9.9 million, which was driven by:

• $5.5 million due to colocations and amendments;

• $2.5 million resulting from contractual escalations, net of churn; and

• $2.3 million generated from newly acquired or constructed sites;

• Partially offset by a decrease of $0.4 million from other tenant billings;

• An increase of $3.4 million in pass-through revenue; and

• An increase of $2.6 million in other revenue.

Segment revenue growth was partially offset by a decrease of $7.4 million attributable to the negative impact of foreign currency translation related to fluctuations in Euro (“EUR”).

Latin America property segment revenue decrease of $46.3 million was attributable to:

• A decrease of $58.8 million, attributable to the impact of foreign currency translation, which included, among others, negative impacts of $31.5 million related to fluctuations in Brazilian Real, $25.0 million related to fluctuations in Mexican Peso and $2.2 million related to fluctuations in Colombian Peso;

• Partially offset by:

• Tenant billings growth of $9.7 million, which was driven by:

• $6.8 million due to colocations and amendments;

• $3.3 million from contractual escalations, net of churn; and

• $0.4 million generated from newly acquired or constructed sites;

• Partially offset by a decrease of $0.8 million from other tenant billings;

• An increase of $2.6 million in pass-through revenue; and

• An increase of $0.2 million in other revenue.

Data Centers segment revenue growth of $19.5 million was attributable to:

•An increase of $12.9 million in rental, related and other revenue, primarily due to new lease commencements, customer expansions and rent increases upon customer renewals;

•An increase of $6.4 million in power revenue from new lease commencements, increased power consumption and pricing increases from existing customers; and

•An increase of $3.4 million in interconnection revenue, primarily due to customer interconnection net additions and pricing increases from existing cross connects;

•Partially offset by a decrease of $3.2 million in straight-line revenue.

Services segment revenue growth of $44.4 million was primarily attributable to an increase in site application, zoning and permitting services, construction management services and structural and mount analyses services.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

•The decrease in U.S. & Canada property segment gross margin was primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue described above, partially offset by a decrease in direct expenses of $2.0 million.

•The increase in Africa & APAC property segment gross margin was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue described above, partially offset by an increase in direct expenses of $7.2 million, primarily due to an increase in repair and maintenance spending. Direct expenses also benefited by $1.9 million from the impact of foreign currency translation.

•The increase in Europe property segment gross margin was primarily attributable to the increase in revenue described above, partially offset by an increase in direct expenses of $5.1 million, primarily due to an increase in land rent costs. Direct expenses also benefited by $2.6 million from the impact of foreign currency translation.

•The decrease in Latin America property segment gross margin was primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue described above, partially offset by a decrease in direct expenses of $0.7 million. Direct expenses also benefited by $16.9 million from the impact of foreign currency translation.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025

•The increase in our U.S. & Canada property segment SG&A was primarily driven by a net increase in bad debt expense and increased personnel and related costs to support our business, partially offset by decreased professional services costs and lower canceled construction costs.

•The increases in our Africa & APAC property and Data Centers segment SG&A were primarily driven by increased personnel and related costs to support our business and increased professional services costs.

•Our Europe property segment SG&A was relatively consistent as compared to the prior-year period.

•The decrease in our Latin America property segment SG&A was primarily driven by a net decrease in bad debt expense of $4.3 million, decreased personnel and related costs and a benefit from the impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by increased professional services costs.

•The increase in our Services segment SG&A was primarily driven by increased personnel and related costs to support our business.

•The decrease in other SG&A was primarily attributable to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense of $9.4 million, primarily driven by the reversal of previously recognized stock-based compensation expense associated with awards forfeited in connection with the departure of our Executive Vice President and President, APAC due to such role being eliminated, as discussed in note 9 to our consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.

•The decrease in operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 for our U.S. & Canada property segment was primarily attributable to a decrease in our segment gross margin and an increase in our segment SG&A.

•The increases in operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 for our Africa & APAC property segment, Data Centers segment and our Services segment were primarily attributable increases in our segment gross margin, partially offset by increases in our segment SG&A.

•The increase in operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 for our Europe property segment was primarily attributable to an increase in our segment gross margin.

•The decrease in operating profit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 for our Latin America property segment was primarily attributable to a decrease in our segment gross margin, partially offset by a decrease in our segment SG&A.

Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion


	Three Months Ended March 31,					Percent Increase (Decrease)
		2025			2024
Depreciation, amortization and accretion			$	492.5		$	508.8	(3)	%

The decrease in depreciation, amortization and accretion expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and decreases in property and equipment and intangible assets subject to amortization as a result of impairments taken and disposals since the beginning of the prior-year period.

Other Operating Income


	Three Months Ended March 31,					Percent Increase (Decrease)
		2025			2024
Other operating income			$	(55.8)		$	(0.4)	13,850	%

The increase in other operating income during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to the gain on the sale of South Africa Fiber of $53.6 million.

Total Other Expense


	Three Months Ended March 31,					Percent Increase (Decrease)
		2025			2024
Total other expense			$	636.6		$	219.7	190	%

Total other expense consists primarily of interest expense and realized and unrealized foreign currency gains or losses as a result of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations primarily associated with our intercompany notes and similar unaffiliated balances denominated in a currency other than the subsidiaries’ functional currencies.

The increase in total other expense during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to foreign currency losses of $345.7 million in the current period, as compared to foreign currency gains of $127.7 million in the prior-year period.

Income Tax Provision


	Three Months Ended March 31,						Percent Increase (Decrease)
		2025				2024
Income tax provision			$	118.9			$	91.3		30	%
Effective tax rate			19.3		%		9.9		%

As a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes (“REIT”), we may deduct earnings distributed to stockholders against the income generated by our REIT operations. Consequently, the effective tax rate on income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 differs from the federal statutory rate.

The increase in the income tax provision during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to taxes incurred as a result of the sale of South Africa Fiber.

Income from Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes

On January 4, 2024, we, through our subsidiaries, ATC Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. and ATC Telecom Infrastructure Private Limited (“ATC TIPL”), entered into an agreement with Data Infrastructure Trust (“DIT”), an infrastructure investment trust sponsored by an affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management, pursuant to which DIT agreed to acquire a 100% ownership interest in ATC TIPL (the “ATC TIPL Transaction”). Per the terms of the agreement, total aggregate consideration represented up to approximately 210 billion Indian Rupees (“INR”) (approximately $2.5 billion), including the value of the VIL OCDs and the VIL Shares (each as defined and further discussed below), payments on certain existing customer receivables, the repayment of existing intercompany debt and the repayment, or assumption, of the Company’s existing term loan in India, by DIT.

The ATC TIPL Transaction received all government and regulatory approvals during the three months ended September 30, 2024. On September 12, 2024, we completed the ATC TIPL Transaction and received total consideration of 182 billion INR (approximately $2.2 billion). We used the proceeds from the ATC TIPL Transaction to repay existing indebtedness under the 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a loss on the sale of ATC TIPL of $1.2 billion, which primarily included the reclassification of our cumulative translation adjustment in India upon exiting the market of $1.1 billion.

The following table presents key components of Income from discontinued operations, net of taxes in the consolidated statements of operations:

Following the rulings by the Supreme Court of India regarding carriers’ obligations for the adjusted gross revenue fees and charges prescribed by the court, we experienced variability and a level of uncertainty in collections in India. In the third quarter of 2022, one of our largest customers in India, Vodafone Idea Limited (“VIL”), communicated that it would make partial payments of its contractual amounts owed to us (the “VIL Shortfall”). We recorded reserves in late 2022 and the first half of 2023 for the VIL Shortfall. In the second half of 2023, VIL began making payments in full of its monthly contractual obligations owed to us. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we deferred recognition of revenue of approximately $27.3 million, net of recoveries, related to VIL in India. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized approximately $29.0 million of this previously deferred revenue. We have fully recognized this previously deferred revenue.

In February 2023, and as amended in August 2023, VIL issued optionally convertible debentures (the “VIL OCDs”) to ATC TIPL in exchange for VIL’s payment of certain amounts towards accounts receivables. The VIL OCDs were issued for an aggregate face value of 16.0 billion INR (approximately $193.2 million on the date of issuance). On March 23, 2024, we converted an aggregate face value of 14.4 billion INR (approximately $172.7 million) of VIL OCDs into 1,440 million shares of equity of VIL (the “VIL Shares”). On April 29, 2024, we completed the sale of 1,440 million VIL Shares at a price of 12.78 INR per share. The net proceeds for this transaction were approximately 18.0 billion INR (approximately $216.0 million at the date of settlement) after deducting commissions and fees. On June 5, 2024, we completed the sale of the remaining aggregate face value of 1.6 billion INR (approximately $19.2 million) of the VIL OCDs. The net proceeds for this transaction, excluding accrued interest, were approximately 1.8 billion INR (approximately $22.0 million at the date of settlement) after deducting fees. None of the VIL Shares or the VIL OCDs remained outstanding. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we recognized a gain of $46.4 million on the sales of the VIL Shares and the VIL OCDs.

(5)For the three months ended March 31, 2024, includes adjustments for withholding taxes paid in Singapore of $11.8 million, which were incurred as a result of the ATC TIPL Transaction. We believe that these withholding tax payments are nonrecurring, and do not believe these are an indication of our operating performance. Accordingly, we believe it is more meaningful to present AFFO attributable to American Tower Corporation common stockholders excluding these amounts.

(9)Includes the impact of discontinued operations associated with other line items, excluding the impact already included in Nareit FFO attributable to American Tower Corporation common stockholders.

The decrease in net income from continuing operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily due to (i) changes in other expense (income), primarily due to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and (ii) an increase in the income tax provision, partially offset by (w) an increase in other operating income, primarily due to the gain on the sale of South Africa Fiber, (x) a decrease in interest expense, (y) an increase in segment operating profit and (z) a decrease in depreciation, amortization and accretion expense.

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to an increase in our gross margin, partially offset by an increase in SG&A, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense of $2.6 million.

The decrease in AFFO attributable to American Tower Corporation common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to (i) a decrease in AFFO attributable to American Tower Corporation common stockholders from discontinued operations as a result of the sale of ATC TIPL in the third quarter of 2024 and (ii) an increase in capital improvement capital expenditures, partially offset by (x) an increase in our operating profit, excluding the impact of straight-line accounting and (y) decreases in cash paid for interest and cash paid for income taxes.

Segment Gross Margin Reconciliation

Gross margin is defined as revenue less costs of operations inclusive of real estate related depreciation, amortization and accretion. Segment gross margin excludes depreciation, amortization and accretion.

Cash and cash equivalents	2,103.7
Total liquidity	$	11,658.2

Subsequent to March 31, 2025, we made additional net borrowings of $479.1 million under the 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility, including 492.0 million EUR ($529.1 million as of the borrowing date), and net borrowings of $250.0 million under the 2021 Credit Facility.

Summary cash flow information is set forth below (in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Net cash provided by (used for):
Operating activities	$	1,295.0	$	1,283.6
Investing activities	(350.1)		(436.1)
Financing activities	(843.8)		(390.2)
Net effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash	29.9		(34.0)
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash	$	131.0	$	423.3

We use our cash flows to fund our operations and investments in our business, including maintenance and improvements, communications site and data center construction, managed network installations and acquisitions. Additionally, we use our cash flows to make distributions, including distributions of our REIT taxable income to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). We may also periodically repay or repurchase our existing indebtedness or equity. We typically fund our international expansion efforts primarily through a combination of cash on hand, intercompany debt and equity contributions.

As of March 31, 2025, we had total outstanding indebtedness of $37.1 billion, with a current portion of $2.8 billion. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we generated sufficient cash flow from operations, together with borrowings under our credit facilities, proceeds from our debt issuance and cash on hand, to fund our acquisitions, capital expenditures and debt service obligations, as well as our required distributions. We believe the cash generated by operating activities during the year ending December 31, 2025, together with our borrowing capacity under our credit

facilities, will suffice to fund our required distributions, capital expenditures, debt service obligations (interest and principal repayments) and signed acquisitions.

Subsequent to March 31, 2025, we commenced using notional cash pooling arrangements with a financial institution for cash management purposes. These arrangements allow for cash withdrawals based upon aggregate cash balances on deposit at the same financial institution.

Material Cash Requirements— There were no material changes to the Material Cash Requirements section of the 2024 Form 10-K.

As of March 31, 2025, we had $1.5 billion of cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2025, we had $317.0 million of cash and cash equivalents held by our joint ventures, of which $277.7 million was held by our foreign joint ventures. Certain foreign subsidiaries may pay us interest or principal on intercompany debt. Additionally, in the event that we repatriate funds from our foreign subsidiaries, we may be required to accrue and pay certain taxes.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to (i) decreases in cash paid for interest and cash paid for taxes, (ii) an increase in our operating profit driven by increases in our Africa & APAC and Europe property segments, our Data Centers segment and our Services segment and (iii) a decrease in the impact of straight-line revenue, partially offset by a reduction in cash flows from ATC TIPL as a result of the sale in the third quarter of 2024 and an increase in cash required for working capital.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Our significant investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 are highlighted below:

•We spent $147.6 million for acquisitions,

•We spent $340.0 million for capital expenditures, as follows (in millions):


Discretionary capital projects (1)	$	203.5
Ground lease purchases (2)	44.9
Capital improvements and corporate expenditures (3)	37.7
Redevelopment	43.4
Start-up capital projects	10.5
Total capital expenditures (4)	$	340.0

_______________

(1)Includes the construction of 449 communications sites globally and approximately $114.6 million of spend related to data center assets.

(2)Includes $8.2 million of perpetual land easement payments reported in Deferred financing costs and other financing activities in the cash flows from financing activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

(3)Includes $0.7 million of finance lease payments reported in Repayments of notes payable, credit facilities, senior notes, secured debt, term loan and finance leases in the cash flows from financing activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

We plan to continue to allocate our available capital, after satisfying our distribution requirements, among investment alternatives that meet our return on investment criteria, while maintaining our commitment to our long-term financial policies. Accordingly, we expect to continue to deploy capital through our annual capital expenditure program, including land purchases and new site and data center facility construction, and through acquisitions. We also regularly review our portfolios as to capital expenditures required to upgrade our infrastructure to our structural standards or address capacity, structural or permitting issues.

We expect that our 2025 total capital expenditures will be as follows (in millions):


Discretionary capital projects (1)	$	880	to	$	910
Ground lease purchases	190		to	210
Capital improvements and corporate expenditures	155		to	165
Redevelopment	360		to	390
Start-up capital projects	50		to	70
Total capital expenditures	$	1,635	to	$	1,745

_______________

(1)Includes the construction of approximately 1,950 to 2,550 communications sites globally and approximately $610 million of anticipated spend related to data center assets.

Repayments of Senior Notes

Repayment of 2.950% Senior Notes—On January 14, 2025, we repaid $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2.950% Notes upon their maturity. The 2.950% Notes were repaid using cash on hand and borrowings under the 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility. Upon completion of the repayment, none of the 2.950% Notes remained outstanding.

Repayment of 2.400% Senior Notes—On March 14, 2025, we repaid $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2.400% Notes upon their maturity. The 2.400% Notes were repaid using proceeds from the issuance of the 4.900% Notes and the 5.350% Notes (each as defined below). Upon completion of the repayment, none of the 2.400% Notes remained outstanding.

Repayment of 1.375% Senior Notes—On April 3, 2025, we repaid 500.0 million EUR aggregate principal amount of our 1.375% senior unsecured notes due April 4, 2025 (the “1.375% Notes”) upon their maturity. The 1.375% Notes were repaid using borrowings under the 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility and cash on hand. Upon completion of the repayment, none of the 1.375% Notes remained outstanding.

Offerings of Senior Notes

4.900% Senior Notes and 5.350% Senior Notes Offering—On March 14, 2025, we completed a registered public offering of $650.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.900% senior unsecured notes due 2030 (the “4.900% Notes”) and $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.350% senior unsecured notes due 2035 (the “5.350% Notes,” and, together with the 4.900% Notes, the “Notes”). The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $988.9 million, after deducting commissions and estimated expenses. We used the net proceeds to repay the 2.400% Notes, to repay existing indebtedness under the 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.

(2)We may redeem the Notes at any time, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus a make-whole premium, together with accrued interest to the redemption date. If we redeem the Notes on or after the par call date, we will not be required to pay a make-whole premium.

If we undergo a change of control and corresponding ratings decline, each as defined in the supplemental indenture for the Notes, we may be required to repurchase all of the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest (including additional interest, if any), up to but not including the repurchase date. The Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of our other senior unsecured debt obligations and are structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other obligations of our subsidiaries.

The supplemental indenture contains certain covenants that restrict our ability to merge, consolidate or sell assets and our (together with our subsidiaries’) ability to incur liens. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions, including that we and our subsidiaries may incur certain liens on assets, mortgages or other liens securing indebtedness if the aggregate amount of indebtedness secured by such liens does not exceed 3.5x Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the supplemental indenture.

Bank Facilities

Amendments to Bank Facilities—On January 28, 2025, we amended our (i) $6.0 billion senior unsecured multicurrency revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in December 2021, as further amended (the “2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility”) (ii) $4.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility, as amended and restated in December 2021, as further amended (the “2021 Credit Facility”) and (iii) $1.0 billion unsecured term loan, as amended and restated in December 2021, as further amended (the “2021 Term Loan”).

These amendments, among other things,

i.extend the maturity dates of the 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility and the 2021 Credit Facility to January 28, 2028 and January 28, 2030, respectively;

ii.extend the maturity date of the 2021 Term Loan to January 28, 2028; and

iii.update the Applicable Margins (as defined in the loan agreements).

2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility—During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we borrowed an aggregate of $240.0 million and repaid an aggregate of $190.0 million of revolving indebtedness under the 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility. We used the borrowings to repay outstanding indebtedness, including the 2.950% Notes. We currently have $5.2 million of undrawn letters of credit and maintain the ability to draw down and repay amounts under the 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility in the ordinary course.

2021 Credit Facility—During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we borrowed an aggregate of $610.0 million and repaid an aggregate of $250.0 million of revolving indebtedness under the 2021 Credit Facility. We used the borrowings for general corporate purposes. We currently have $30.3 million of undrawn letters of credit and maintain the ability to draw down and repay amounts under the 2021 Credit Facility in the ordinary course.

As of March 31, 2025, the key terms under the 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility, the 2021 Credit Facility and the 2021 Term Loan, were as follows:


Bank Facility		Outstanding Principal Balance ($ in millions)		Maturity Date		SOFR or EURIBOR borrowing interest rate range (1)	Base rate borrowing interest rate range (1)	Current margin over SOFR or EURIBOR and the base rate, respectively
2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility	(2)	$	50.0	January 28, 2028	(3)	0.750% - 1.375%	0.000% - 0.375%	1.000% and 0.000%
2021 Credit Facility	(2)	360.0		January 28, 2030	(3)	0.750% - 1.375%	0.000% - 0.375%	1.000% and 0.000%
2021 Term Loan	(2)	1,000.0		January 28, 2028		0.750% - 1.375%	0.000% - 0.375%	1.000% and 0.000%

___________

(1)Represents interest rate above: (a) Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for SOFR based borrowings, (b) Euro Interbank Offer Rate (“EURIBOR”) for EURIBOR based borrowings and (c) the defined base rate for base rate borrowings, in each case based on our debt ratings.

(2)Currently borrowed at SOFR.

(3)Subject to two optional renewal periods.

We must pay a quarterly commitment fee on the undrawn portion of each of the 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility and the 2021 Credit Facility. The commitment fee for the 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility and the 2021 Credit Facility ranges from 0.080% to 0.200% per annum, based upon our debt ratings, and is currently 0.110%.

The 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility, the 2021 Credit Facility and the 2021 Term Loan and the associated loan agreements (the “Bank Loan Agreements”) do not require amortization of principal and may be paid prior to maturity in whole or in part at our option without penalty or premium. We have the option of choosing either a defined base rate, SOFR or EURIBOR as the applicable base rate for borrowings under these bank facilities.

Each Bank Loan Agreement contains certain reporting, information, financial and operating covenants and other restrictions (including limitations on additional debt, guaranties, sales of assets and liens) with which we must comply. Failure to comply with these financial and operating covenants could not only prevent us from being able to borrow additional funds under the revolving credit facilities, but may constitute a default, which could result in, among other things, the amounts outstanding under the applicable agreement, including all accrued interest and unpaid fees, becoming immediately due and payable.

Bangladesh Term Loan—In March 2025, we entered into a 400.0 million Bangladeshi Taka (“BDT”) (approximately $3.3 million) term loan with a maturity date that is eight years from the date of the first draw thereunder (the “Bangladesh Term Loan”). On March 24, 2025, we borrowed 150.0 million BDT (approximately $1.2 million) under the Bangladesh Term Loan. The Bangladesh Term Loan bears interest at 13.50% per annum, subject to quarterly resets. Interest is payable quarterly. Any outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest will be due and payable in full at maturity. The Bangladesh Term Loan does not require amortization of principal and may be paid prior to maturity in whole or in part at our option without penalty or premium.

Stock Repurchase Programs—In March 2011, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program, pursuant to which we are authorized to repurchase up to $1.5 billion of our common stock (the “2011 Buyback”). In December 2017, our Board of Directors approved an additional stock repurchase program, pursuant to which we are authorized to repurchase up to $2.0 billion of our common stock (the “2017 Buyback,” and, together with the 2011 Buyback, the “Buyback Programs”).

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no repurchases under either of the Buyback Programs.

We expect to continue managing the pacing of the remaining approximately $2.0 billion under the Buyback Programs in response to general market conditions and other relevant factors. We expect to fund any further repurchases of our common stock through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated by operations and borrowings under our credit facilities. Repurchases under the Buyback Programs are subject to, among other things, us having available cash to fund the repurchases.

Sales of Equity Securities—We receive proceeds from sales of our equity securities pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan and upon exercise of stock options granted under our equity incentive plan. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we received an aggregate of $19.2 million in proceeds upon exercises of stock options.

Future Financing Transactions—We regularly consider various options to obtain financing and access the capital markets, subject to market conditions, to meet our funding needs. Such capital raising alternatives, in addition to those noted above, may include amendments and extensions of our bank facilities, entry into new bank facilities, transactions with private equity funds or partnerships, additional senior note and equity offerings and securitization transactions. No assurance can be given as to whether any such financing transactions will be completed or as to the timing or terms thereof.

Distributions—As a REIT, we must annually distribute to our stockholders an amount equal to at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined before the deduction for distributed earnings and excluding any net capital gain). Generally, we have distributed, and expect to continue to distribute, all or substantially all of our REIT taxable income after taking into consideration our utilization of net operating losses (“NOLs”). We have distributed an aggregate of approximately $21.3 billion to our common stockholders, including the dividend paid in April 2025, primarily classified as ordinary income that may be treated as qualified REIT dividends under Section 199A of the Code for taxable years beginning before 2026.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we paid $1.62 per share, or $757.1 million, to our common stockholders of record. In addition, we declared a distribution of $1.70 per share, or $795.8 million, paid on April 28, 2025 to our common stockholders of record at the close of business on April 11, 2025.

The amount, timing and frequency of future distributions will be at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend on various factors, a number of which may be beyond our control, including our financial condition and operating cash flows, the amount required to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT and reduce any income and excise taxes that we otherwise would be required to pay, limitations on distributions in our existing and future debt and preferred equity instruments, our ability to utilize NOLs to offset our distribution requirements, limitations on our ability to fund distributions using cash generated through our taxable REIT subsidiaries and other factors that our Board of Directors may deem relevant.

We accrue distributions on unvested restricted stock units, which are payable upon vesting. As of March 31, 2025, the amount accrued for distributions payable related to unvested restricted stock units was $12.4 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we paid $11.4 million of distributions upon the vesting of restricted stock units.

Factors Affecting Sources of Liquidity

As discussed in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section of the 2024 Form 10-K, our liquidity depends on our ability to generate cash flow from operating activities, borrow funds under our credit facilities and maintain compliance with the contractual agreements governing our indebtedness. We believe that the debt agreements discussed below represent our material debt agreements that contain covenants, our compliance with which would be material to an investor’s understanding of our financial results and the impact of those results on our liquidity.

Restrictions Under Loan Agreements Relating to Our Credit Facilities—Each Bank Loan Agreement contains certain financial and operating covenants and other restrictions applicable to us and our subsidiaries that are not designated as unrestricted subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. These restrictions include limitations on additional debt, distributions and dividends, guaranties, sales of assets and liens. The Bank Loan Agreements also contain covenants that establish financial tests with which we and our restricted subsidiaries must comply related to total leverage and senior secured leverage, as set forth in the table below. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with each of these covenants.

(2)Assumes no change to Adjusted EBITDA.

(3)Assumes no change to our debt levels.

(4)Effectively, however, additional Senior Secured Debt under this ratio would be limited to the capacity under the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio.

The Bank Loan Agreements also contain reporting and information covenants that require us to provide financial and operating information to the lenders within certain time periods. If we are unable to provide the required information on a timely basis, we would be in breach of these covenants.

Failure to comply with the financial maintenance tests and certain other covenants of the Bank Loan Agreements could not only prevent us from being able to borrow additional funds under the revolving credit facilities, but may also constitute a default under these credit facilities, which could result in, among other things, the amounts outstanding, including all accrued interest and unpaid fees, becoming immediately due and payable. If this were to occur, we may not have sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness. The key factors affecting our ability to comply with the debt covenants described above are our financial performance relative to the financial maintenance tests defined in the Bank Loan Agreements and our ability to fund our debt service obligations. Based upon our current expectations, we believe our operating results during the next 12 months will be sufficient to comply with these covenants.

Restrictions Under Agreements Relating to the 2015 Securitization and the Trust Securitizations—The indenture and related supplemental indenture governing the American Tower Secured Revenue Notes, Series 2015-2, Class A (the “Series 2015-2 Notes”) issued by GTP Acquisition Partners I, LLC (“GTP Acquisition Partners”) in a private securitization transaction in May 2015 (the “2015 Securitization”) and the loan agreement related to the securitization transactions completed in March 2018 (the “2018 Securitization”) and March 2023 (the “2023 Securitization” and, together with the 2018 Securitization, the “Trust Securitizations”) (collectively, the “Securitization Loan Agreements”) include certain financial ratios and operating covenants and other restrictions customary for transactions subject to rated securitizations. Among other things, GTP Acquisition Partners and American Tower Asset Sub, LLC and American Tower Asset Sub II, LLC (together, the “AMT Asset Subs”) are prohibited from incurring other indebtedness for borrowed money or further encumbering their assets, subject to customary carve-outs for ordinary course trade payables and permitted encumbrances (as defined in the applicable agreements).

Under the Securitization Loan Agreements, amounts due will be paid from the cash flows generated by the assets securing the Series 2015-2 Notes or the assets securing the nonrecourse loan that secures the Secured Tower Revenue Securities, Series 2018-1, Subclass A (the “Series 2018-1A Securities”), the Secured Tower Revenue Securities, Series 2018-1, Subclass R (the “Series 2018-1R Securities” and, together with the Series 2018-1A Securities, the “2018 Securities”), the Secured Tower Revenue Securities 2023-1, Subclass A (the “Series 2023-1A Securities”), the Secured Tower Revenue Securities, Series 2023-1, Subclass R (the “Series 2023-1R Securities” and, together with the Series 2023-1A Securities, the “2023 Securities”) issued in the Trust Securitizations (the “Loan”), as applicable, which must be deposited into certain reserve accounts, and thereafter distributed, solely pursuant to the terms of the applicable agreement. On a monthly basis, after paying all required amounts under the applicable agreement, subject to the conditions described in the table below, the excess cash flows generated from the operation of these assets are released to GTP Acquisition Partners or the AMT Asset Subs, as applicable, which can then be distributed to us for use. As of March 31, 2025, $83.4 million held in such reserve accounts was classified as restricted cash.

Certain information with respect to the 2015 Securitization and the Trust Securitizations is set forth below. The debt service coverage ratio (“DSCR”) is generally calculated as the ratio of the net cash flow (as defined in the applicable agreement) to the amount of interest, servicing fees and trustee fees required to be paid over the succeeding 12 months on the principal amount of the Series 2015-2 Notes or the Loan, as applicable, that will be outstanding on the payment date following such date of determination.

(1)Based on the net cash flow of the applicable issuer or borrower as of March 31, 2025 and the expenses payable over the next 12 months on the Series 2015-2 Notes or the Loan, as applicable.

(2)If the DSCR were equal to or below 1.30x (the “Cash Trap DSCR”) for any quarter, all cash flow in excess of amounts required to make debt service payments, fund required reserves, pay management fees and budgeted operating expenses and make other payments required under the applicable transaction documents, referred to as excess cash flow, will be deposited into a reserve account (the “Cash Trap Reserve Account”) instead of being released to the applicable issuer or borrower. Once triggered, a Cash Trap DSCR condition continues to exist until the DSCR exceeds the Cash Trap DSCR for two consecutive calendar quarters.

(3)An amortization period commences if the DSCR is equal to or below 1.15x (the “Minimum DSCR”) at the end of any calendar quarter and continues to exist until the DSCR exceeds the Minimum DSCR for two consecutive calendar quarters.

(4)No amortization period is triggered if the outstanding principal amount of a series has not been repaid in full on the applicable anticipated repayment date. However, in that event, additional interest will accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the applicable series, and that series will begin to amortize on a monthly basis from excess cash flow.

(5)An amortization period exists if the outstanding principal amount has not been paid in full on the applicable anticipated repayment date and continues to exist until the principal has been repaid in full.

A failure to meet the noted DSCR tests could prevent GTP Acquisition Partners or the AMT Asset Subs from distributing excess cash flow to us, which could affect our ability to fund our capital expenditures, including tower construction and acquisitions, and to meet REIT distribution requirements. During an “amortization period,” all excess cash flow and any amounts then in the applicable Cash Trap Reserve Account would be applied to pay the principal of the Series 2015-2 Notes or the Loan, as applicable, on each monthly payment date, and so would not be available for distribution to us. Further, additional interest will begin to accrue with respect to the Series 2015-2 Notes or subclass of the Loan from and after the anticipated repayment date at a per annum rate determined in accordance with the applicable agreement. With respect to the Series 2015-2 Notes, upon the occurrence of, and during, an event of default, the applicable trustee may, in its discretion or at the direction of holders of more than 50% of the aggregate outstanding principal of the Series 2015-2 Notes, declare the Series 2015-2 Notes immediately due and payable, in which case any excess cash flow would need to be used to pay holders of those notes. Furthermore, if GTP Acquisition Partners or the AMT Asset Subs were to default on the Series 2015-2 Notes or the Loan, the applicable trustee may seek to foreclose upon or otherwise convert the ownership of all or any portion of the 3,334 communications sites that secure the Series 2015-2 Notes or the 5,024 broadcast and wireless communications towers and related assets that secure the Loan, respectively, in which case we could lose those sites and their associated revenue.

As discussed above, we use our available liquidity and seek new sources of liquidity to fund capital expenditures, future growth and expansion initiatives, satisfy our distribution requirements and repay or repurchase our debt. If we determine that it is desirable or necessary to raise additional capital, we may be unable to do so, or such additional financing may be prohibitively expensive or restricted by the terms of our outstanding indebtedness. Additionally, as further discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the 2024 Form 10-K, market volatility and disruption caused by inflation,

high interest rates and supply chain disruptions may impact our ability to raise additional capital through debt financing activities or our ability to repay or refinance maturing liabilities, or impact the terms of any new obligations. If we are unable to raise capital when our needs arise, we may not be able to fund capital expenditures, future growth and expansion initiatives, satisfy our REIT distribution requirements and debt service obligations, or refinance our existing indebtedness.

In addition, our liquidity depends on our ability to generate cash flow from operating activities. As set forth under the caption “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the 2024 Form 10-K, we derive a substantial portion of our current and projected future revenue from a small number of customers and, consequently, a failure by a significant customer to perform its contractual obligations to us could adversely affect our cash flow and liquidity.

For more information regarding the terms of our outstanding indebtedness, please see note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, as well as related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate our policies and estimates on an ongoing basis, including those related to assets held for sale, discontinued operations, accounting and impairment of long-lived assets, revenue recognition, rent expense and income taxes, as further discussed in the 2024 Form 10-K. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We have reviewed our policies and estimates to determine our critical accounting policies for the three months ended March 31, 2025. We have made no material changes to the critical accounting policies described in the 2024 Form 10-K.

Accounting Standards Update

For a discussion of recent accounting standards updates, see note 1 to our consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report.


ITEM 3.			QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Changes in interest rates can cause interest charges to fluctuate on our variable rate debt. Variable rate debt as of March 31, 2025 consisted of $50.0 million under the 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility, $360.0 million under the 2021 Credit Facility and $1.0 billion under the 2021 Term Loan. A 10% increase in current interest rates would result in an additional $1.9 million of interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Foreign Currency Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates primarily in connection with our foreign subsidiaries and joint ventures internationally. Any transaction denominated in a currency other than the U.S. Dollar is reported in U.S. Dollars at the applicable exchange rate. All assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. Dollars at exchange rates in effect at the end of the applicable fiscal reporting period and all revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the period. The cumulative translation effect is included in equity as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss. We may enter into additional foreign currency financial instruments in anticipation of future transactions to minimize the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, 31% of our revenues and 37% of our total operating expenses were denominated in foreign currencies.

As of March 31, 2025, we have incurred intercompany debt that is not considered to be permanently reinvested and similar unaffiliated balances that were denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the subsidiary in which it is recorded. As this debt had not been designated as being a long-term investment in nature, any changes in the foreign currency exchange rates will result in unrealized gains or losses, which will be included in our determination of net income. An adverse change of 10% in the underlying exchange rates of our unsettled intercompany debt and similar unaffiliated balances would result in $31.3 million of unrealized losses that would be included in Other income (expense) in our consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, we have 7.5 billion EUR (approximately $8.1 billion) denominated debt outstanding. An adverse change of 10% in the underlying exchange rates of our outstanding EUR debt would result in $0.9 billion of foreign currency losses that would be included in Other expense in our consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025.


ITEM 4.			CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to other members of senior management and the Board of Directors.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025 and designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the requisite time periods specified in the applicable rules and forms, and that it is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.			LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We periodically become involved in various claims and lawsuits that are incidental to our business. While our management, after consultation with counsel, currently believes the ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Were an unfavorable ruling to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.


ITEM 1A.			RISK FACTORS

There were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A of the 2024 Form 10-K.


ITEM 5.			OTHER INFORMATION

Rule 10b5-1 Plans

Eugene M. Noel, our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, entered into a pre-arranged stock trading plan on February 26, 2025. Mr. Noel’s plan provides for the potential exercise of vested stock options and the associated sale of up to 41,209 shares of our common stock between May 28, 2025 and March 2, 2026.

This trading plan was entered into during an open insider trading window and is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act and our policies regarding transactions in our securities. Generally, this trading plan pre-establishes the amounts, prices and dates of future purchases or sales of our stock, including shares issued upon the exercise or vesting of equity awards. Under this trading plan, the individual officer relinquishes control over the transactions once the trading plan is put into place. Accordingly, sales under this plan may occur at any time, including possibly before, simultaneously with, or immediately after, significant Company events.
