American Tower Corporation (NYSE: AMT) today reported financial
results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Steven Vondran, American Tower’s Chief Executive Officer,
stated, “The momentum from the start of the year extended into Q2,
with core results highlighting the strong underlying demand for our
portfolio of communications assets. Positive collection trends
further accelerated in India, our U.S. & Canada segment
delivered over 5% Organic Tenant Billings Growth and CoreSite
achieved its second highest quarter of signed new business on
record, all supporting over 13% Attributable AFFO per Share growth
in the quarter, and our ability to raise the midpoints of the key
financial measures in our updated 2024 outlook.
Furthermore, we continue to demonstrate our commitment to a
disciplined approach to capital allocation. We’ve successfully
accelerated certain proceeds associated with our pending sale of
India ahead of our anticipated closing, and prudently managed our
discretionary investments towards developed markets, while
leveraging our global capabilities to maximize margins and
profitability across our emerging markets footprint. We believe the
successful execution of our strategic priorities, combined with the
strong, durable secular trends underpinning our business, has
American Tower positioned to deliver a best-in-class experience for
our customers, and sustained growth with higher quality of earnings
for our shareholders over the long-term.”

Q2 2024 growth rates, excluding Total
Tenant Billings, Organic Tenant Billings and total cash capital
expenditures, impacted by revenue reserve reversals of
approximately $67 million associated with VIL (as defined below) in
India in the current period as compared to VIL-related revenue
reserves of approximately $35 million in the prior-year period.

Q2 2024 growth rates impacted by foreign
currency losses of $21.7 million in the current period as compared
to foreign currency losses of $107.6 million in the prior-year
period.
(3)
Q2 2024 growth rates positively impacted
by the Company’s extension of the estimated useful lives of its
tower assets and the estimated settlement dates for its asset
retirement obligations, expected to result in a decrease of

and a decrease of approximately $75 million in accretion expense
for the twelve months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the
twelve months ended December 31, 2023. The Company estimates that
such decreases will be relatively evenly distributed by quarter
throughout the current year.

On May 29, 2024, the Company issued an aggregate of €1.0 billion
(approximately $1.1 billion at the date of issuance) in senior
unsecured notes. The net proceeds of the offering were used to

multicurrency revolving credit facility, to the extent it had been
drawn upon in euros to, among other things, repay existing
indebtedness under the 2021 EUR Three Year Delayed Draw Term
Loan.
FULL YEAR 2024 OUTLOOK
The following full year 2024 estimates are based on a number of
assumptions that management believes to be reasonable and reflect
the Company’s expectations as of July 30, 2024. Actual results may
differ materially from these estimates as a result of various
factors, and the Company refers you to the cautionary language
regarding “forward-looking statements” included in this press
release when considering this information.
The Company’s outlook is based on the following average foreign
currency exchange rates to 1.00 U.S. Dollar for July 30, 2024
through December 31, 2024: (a) 1,063 Argentinean Pesos; (b) 1.50
Australian Dollars; (c) 121.10 Bangladeshi Taka; (d) 5.45 Brazilian
Reais; (e) 1.37 Canadian Dollars; (f) 950 Chilean Pesos; (g) 4,130
Colombian Pesos; (h) 0.93 Euros; (i) 15.35 Ghanaian Cedis; (j)
83.50 Indian Rupees; (k) 134 Kenyan Shillings; (l) 18.30 Mexican
Pesos; (m) 1.63 New Zealand Dollars; (n) 1,600 Nigerian Naira; (o)
7,570 Paraguayan Guarani; (p) 3.80 Peruvian Soles; (q) 58.70
Philippine Pesos; (r) 18.60 South African Rand; (s) 3,810 Ugandan
Shillings; and (t) 610 West African CFA Francs.
The Company’s outlook reflects estimated negative impacts of
foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations to property revenue,
Adjusted EBITDA and AFFO attributable to AMT common stockholders of
approximately $51 million, $33 million and $28 million,
respectively, relative to the Company’s prior 2024 outlook. The
impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on net income
metrics is not provided, as the impact on all components of the net
income measure cannot be calculated without unreasonable
effort.
The Company’s updated 2024 outlook assumes a full year
contribution from the India business, including updated revenue
reserve assumptions reflecting the positive collection trends
realized year to date, and improved expectations for the remainder
of the year. The updated 2024 outlook assumes a $96 million revenue
reserve reversal for the India business, consisting of revenue
reserve reversals of $29 million and $67 million in Q1 2024 and Q2
2024, respectively, with no additional revenue reserves, or
reversals, assumed for the remainder of the year. The Company’s
prior 2024 outlook had assumed a revenue reserve of $20 million for
the full year. The Company’s outlook reflects India contributions
of $1,270 million, $500 million and $410 million for property
revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Unlevered AFFO attributable to AMT
common stockholders, respectively. The Company expects the closing
of the sale of its India business (the “Pending ATC TIPL
Transaction”) to occur in the second half of 2024, subject to
customary closing conditions, including government and regulatory
approval. Additional information pertaining to Unlevered AFFO
attributable to AMT common stockholders and the expected
contributions from India to the Company’s 2024 outlook has been
provided on page 24 of the Company’s second quarter 2024 earnings
presentation available on the Company’s website.
The Company is raising the midpoints of its full year 2024
outlook for property revenue, net income, net income attributable
to AMT common stockholders, Adjusted EBITDA, AFFO attributable to
AMT common stockholders and AFFO attributable to AMT common
stockholders per Share by $20 million, $145 million, $135 million,
$130 million, $85 million and $0.18, respectively. Excluding
updates associated with the India business, and excluding the
impacts of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, the Company’s
updated 2024 outlook includes increases of $5 million, $62 million,
$27 million and $0.06 for property revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, AFFO
attributable to AMT common stockholders and AFFO attributable to
AMT common stockholders per Share, respectively, and a decrease of
$45 million to property revenue, an increase of $30 million in
Adjusted EBITDA and no change to AFFO attributable to AMT common
stockholders and AFFO attributable to AMT common stockholders per
Share when including foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
Additional information pertaining to the impact of foreign
currency and Secured Overnight Financing Rate fluctuations on the
Company’s outlook has been provided in the supplemental disclosure
package available on the Company’s website.

About American Tower

independent owner, operator and developer of multitenant
communications real estate with a portfolio of over 224,000
communications sites and a highly interconnected footprint of U.S.
data center facilities. For more information about American Tower,
please visit the “Earnings Materials” and “Investor Presentations”
sections of our investor relations hub at
www.americantower.com.
Non-GAAP and Defined Financial
Measures
In addition to the results prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) provided
throughout this press release, the Company has presented the
following Non-GAAP and Defined Financial Measures: Gross Margin,
Operating Profit, Operating Profit Margin, Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Nareit Funds From Operations (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 per Share, Unlevered
AFFO attributable to AMT common stockholders, Free Cash Flow, Net
Debt and Net Leverage Ratio. In addition, the Company presents:
Tenant Billings, Tenant Billings Growth, Organic Tenant Billings
Growth and New Site Tenant Billings Growth.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company
updated its presentation of Nareit FFO attributable to American
Tower Corporation common stockholders and AFFO attributable to
American Tower Corporation common stockholders to remove separate
presentation of Consolidated AFFO. The Company believes this
presentation better aligns its reporting with management’s current
approach of allocating capital and resources, managing growth and
profitability and assessing the operating performance of its
business. The change in presentation has no impact on the Company’s
Nareit FFO attributable to American Tower Corporation common
stockholders or AFFO attributable to American Tower Corporation
common stockholders for any periods. Historical financial
information included below has been adjusted to reflect the change
in presentation.
These measures are not intended to replace financial performance
measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Rather, they are
presented as additional information because management believes
they are useful indicators of the current financial performance of
the Company's core businesses and are commonly used across its
industry peer group. As outlined in detail below, the Company
believes that these measures can assist in comparing company
performance on a consistent basis irrespective of depreciation and
amortization or capital structure, while also providing valuable
incremental insight into the underlying operating trends of its
business.
Depreciation and amortization can vary significantly among
companies depending on accounting methods, particularly where
acquisitions or non-operating factors, including historical cost
basis, are involved. The Company's Non-GAAP and Defined Financial
Measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by
other companies.
Revenue Components
In addition to reporting total revenue, the Company believes
that providing transparency around the components of its revenue
provides investors with insight into the indicators of the
underlying demand for, and operating performance of, its real
estate portfolio. Accordingly, the Company has provided disclosure
of the following revenue components: (i) Tenant Billings, (ii) New
Site Tenant Billings; (iii) Organic Tenant Billings; (iv)
International pass-through revenue; (v) Straight-line revenue; (vi)
Pre-paid amortization revenue; (vii) Foreign currency exchange
impact; and (viii) Other revenue.
Tenant Billings: The majority of the Company’s revenue is
generated from non-cancellable, long-term tenant leases. Revenue
from Tenant Billings reflects several key aspects of the Company’s
real estate business: (i) “colocations/amendments” reflects new
tenant leases for space on existing sites and amendments to
existing leases to add additional tenant equipment; (ii)
“escalations” reflects contractual increases in billing rates,
which are typically tied to fixed percentages or a variable
percentage based on a consumer price index; (iii) “cancellations”
reflects the impact of tenant lease terminations or non-renewals
or, in limited circumstances, when the lease rates on existing
leases are reduced; and (iv) “new sites” reflects the impact of new
property construction and acquisitions.
New Site Tenant Billings: Day-one Tenant Billings
associated with sites that have been built or acquired since the
beginning of the prior-year period. Incremental
colocations/amendments, escalations or cancellations that occur on
these sites after the date of their addition to our portfolio are
not included in New Site Tenant Billings. In certain cases, this
could also include the net impact of certain divestitures. The
Company believes providing New Site Tenant Billings enhances an
investor’s ability to analyze the Company’s existing real estate
portfolio growth as well as its development program growth, as the
Company’s construction and acquisition activities can drive
variability in growth rates from period to period.
Organic Tenant Billings: Tenant Billings on sites that
the Company has owned since the beginning of the prior-year period,
as well as Tenant Billings activity on new sites that occurred
after the date of their addition to the Company’s portfolio.
International pass-through revenue: A portion of the
Company’s pass-through revenue is based on power and fuel expense
reimbursements and therefore subject to fluctuations in fuel
prices. As a result, revenue growth rates may fluctuate depending
on the market price for fuel in any given period, which is not
representative of the Company’s real estate business and its
economic exposure to power and fuel costs. Furthermore, this
expense reimbursement mitigates the economic impact associated with
fluctuations in operating expenses, such as power and fuel costs
and land rents in certain of the Company’s markets. As a result,
the Company believes that it is appropriate to provide insight into
the impact of pass-through revenue on certain revenue growth
rates.
Straight-line revenue: Under GAAP, the Company recognizes
revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract for
certain of its tenant leases. Due to the Company’s significant base
of non-cancellable, long-term tenant leases, this can result in
significant fluctuations in growth rates upon tenant lease signings
and renewals (typically increases), when amounts billed or received
upfront upon these events are initially deferred. These signings
and renewals are only a portion of the Company’s underlying
business growth and can distort the underlying performance of our
Tenant Billings Growth. As a result, the Company believes that it
is appropriate to provide insight into the impact of straight-line
revenue on certain growth rates in revenue and select other
measures.
Pre-paid amortization revenue: The Company recovers a
portion of the costs it incurs for the redevelopment and
development of its properties from its tenants. These upfront
payments are then amortized over the initial term of the
corresponding tenant lease. Given this amortization is not
necessarily directly representative of underlying leasing activity
on its real estate portfolio (i.e. does not have a renewal option
or escalation as our tenant leases do), the Company believes that
it is appropriate to provide insight into the impact of pre-paid
amortization revenue on certain revenue growth rates to provide
transparency into the underlying performance of our real estate
business.
Foreign currency exchange impact: The majority of the
Company’s international revenue and operating expenses are
denominated in each country’s local currency. As a result, foreign
currency fluctuations may distort the underlying performance of our
real estate business from period to period, depending on the
movement of foreign currency exchange rates versus the U.S. Dollar.
The Company believes it is appropriate to quantify the impact of
foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations on its reported growth
to provide transparency into the underlying performance of its real
estate business.
Other revenue: Other revenue represents revenue not
captured by the above listed items and can include items such as
customer settlements, fiber solutions revenue and data centers
revenue.
Non-GAAP and Defined Financial Measure
Definitions
Tenant Billings Growth: The increase or decrease
resulting from a comparison of Tenant Billings for a current period
with Tenant Billings for the corresponding prior-year period, in
each case adjusted for foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
The Company believes this measure provides valuable insight into
the growth in recurring Tenant Billings and underlying demand for
its real estate portfolio.
Organic Tenant Billings Growth: The portion of Tenant
Billings Growth attributable to Organic Tenant Billings. The
Company believes that organic growth is a useful measure of its
ability to add tenancy and incremental revenue to its assets for
the reported period, which enables investors and analysts to gain
additional insight into the relative attractiveness, and therefore
the value, of the Company’s property assets.
New Site Tenant Billings Growth: The portion of Tenant
Billings Growth attributable to New Site Tenant Billings. The
Company believes this measure provides valuable insight into the
growth attributable to Tenant Billings from recently acquired or
constructed properties.
Gross Margin: Revenues less operating expenses, excluding
depreciation, amortization and accretion, selling, general,
administrative and development expense and other operating
expenses. The Company believes this measure provides valuable
insight into the site-level profitability of its assets.
Operating Profit: Gross Margin less selling, general,
administrative and development expense, excluding stock-based
compensation expense and corporate expenses. The Company believes
this measure provides valuable insight into the site-level
profitability of its assets while also taking into account the
overhead expenses required to manage each of its operating
segments.
Operating Profit and Gross Margin are before interest income,
interest expense, gain (loss) on retirement of long-term
obligations, other income (expense), net income (loss) attributable
to noncontrolling interest and income tax benefit (provision).
Operating Profit Margin: The percentage that results from
dividing Operating Profit by revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA: Net income before income (loss) from
equity method investments, 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.
The Company believes this measure provides valuable insight into
the profitability of its operations while at the same time taking
into account the central overhead expenses required to manage its
global operations. In addition, it is a widely used performance
measure across the telecommunications real estate sector.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin: The percentage that results from
dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenue.
Nareit Funds From Operations (FFO), as defined by the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (Nareit),
attributable to American Tower Corporation common stockholders:
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. The Company believes this measure provides valuable
insight into the operating performance of its property assets by
excluding the charges described above, particularly depreciation
expenses, given the high initial, up-front capital intensity of the
Company’s operating model. In addition, it is a widely used
performance measure across the telecommunications real estate
sector.
Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) attributable to
American Tower Corporation common stockholders: Nareit FFO
attributable to American Tower Corporation 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, which
includes the impact of noncontrolling interests on both Nareit FFO
and the corresponding adjustments included in AFFO. The Company
believes this measure provides valuable insight into the operating
performance of its assets by further adjusting the Nareit AFFO
attributable to American Tower Corporation common stockholders
metric to exclude the factors outlined above, which if unadjusted,
may cause material fluctuations in Nareit FFO attributable to
American Tower Corporation stockholders growth from period to
period that would not be representative of the underlying
performance of the Company’s property assets in those periods. In
addition, it is a widely used performance measure across the
telecommunications real estate sector. The Company believes
providing this metric, excluding the impacts of noncontrolling
interests, enhances transparency, given the minority interests in
its Europe business and its U.S. data center business.
AFFO attributable to American Tower Corporation common
stockholders per Share: AFFO attributable to American Tower
Corporation common stockholders divided by the diluted weighted
average common shares outstanding.
Unlevered AFFO attributable to AMT common stockholders:
AFFO attributable to AMT common stockholders before deducting net
interest charges. The Company believes this measure provides
valuable insight into the India business’ contributions to the
Company’s AFFO attributable to AMT common stockholders metric,
before making assumptions on the use of proceeds for the Pending
ATC TIPL Transaction.
Free Cash Flow: Cash provided by operating activities
less total cash capital expenditures, including payments on finance
leases and perpetual land easements. The Company believes that Free
Cash Flow is useful to investors as the basis for comparing our
performance and coverage ratios with other companies in its
industry, although this measure of Free Cash Flow may not be
directly comparable to similar measures used by other
companies.
Net Debt: Total long-term debt, including current portion
and for periods beginning in the first quarter of 2019, finance
lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents.
Net Leverage Ratio: Net debt (total long-term debt,
including current portion, and for periods beginning in the first
quarter of 2019, finance lease liabilities, less cash and cash
equivalents) divided by the quarter’s annualized Adjusted EBITDA
(the quarter’s Adjusted EBITDA multiplied by four). The Company
believes that including this calculation is important for investors
and analysts given it is a critical component underlying its credit
agency ratings.
Cautionary Language Regarding
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements”
concerning our goals, beliefs, expectations, strategies,
objectives, plans, future operating results and underlying
assumptions and other statements that are not necessarily based on
historical facts. Examples of these statements include, but are not
limited to, statements regarding our full year 2024 outlook and
other targets, foreign currency exchange rates, our expectations
regarding the potential impacts of the Adjusted Gross Revenue court
ruling in India, including impacts on our customers’ payments, and
factors that could affect such expectations, the creditworthiness
and financial strength of our customers, the expected impacts of
strategic partnerships on our business, our expectations for the
closing of signed agreements, including the Pending ATC TIPL
Transaction, and the expected impacts of such agreements on our
business, our expectations regarding potential additional
impairments in India and factors that could affect our expectations
and our expectations regarding the leasing demand for
communications real estate. Actual results may differ materially
from those indicated in our forward-looking statements as a result
of various important factors, including: (1) a significant decrease
in leasing demand for our communications infrastructure would
materially and adversely affect our business and operating results,
and we cannot control that demand; (2) a substantial portion of our
current and projected future revenue is derived from a small number
of customers, and we are sensitive to adverse changes in the
creditworthiness and financial strength of our customers; (3) if
our customers consolidate their operations, exit their businesses
or share site infrastructure to a significant degree, our growth,
revenue and ability to generate positive cash flows could be
materially and adversely affected; (4) increasing competition
within our industries may materially and adversely affect our
revenue; (5) our expansion initiatives involve a number of risks
and uncertainties, including those related to integrating acquired
or leased assets, that could adversely affect our operating
results, disrupt our operations or expose us to additional risk;
(6) new technologies or changes, or lack thereof, in our or a
customer’s business model could make our communications
infrastructure leasing business less desirable and result in
decreasing revenues and operating results; (7) competition to
purchase assets could adversely affect our ability to achieve our
return on investment criteria; (8) strategic partnerships, and
divestitures, such as the Pending ATC TIPL Transaction, may
materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of
operations or cash flows; (9) our leverage and debt service
obligations, including during a rising interest rates environment,
may materially and adversely affect our ability to raise additional
financing to fund capital expenditures, future growth and expansion
initiatives and may reduce funds available to satisfy our
distribution requirements; (10) rising inflation may adversely
affect us by increasing costs beyond what we can recover through
price increases; (11) restrictive covenants in the agreements
related to our securitization transactions, our credit facilities
and our debt securities could materially and adversely affect our
business by limiting flexibility, and we may be prohibited from
paying dividends on our common stock, which may jeopardize our
qualification for taxation as a REIT; (12) our foreign operations
are subject to economic, political and other risks that could
materially and adversely affect our revenues or financial position,
including risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates; (13) our business, and that of our customers, is
subject to laws, regulations and administrative and judicial
decisions, and changes thereto, that could restrict our ability to
operate our business as we currently do or impact our competitive
landscape; (14) we may be adversely affected by regulations related
to climate change; (15) if we fail to remain qualified for taxation
as a REIT, we will be subject to tax at corporate income tax rates,
which may substantially reduce funds otherwise available, and even
if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may face tax liabilities
that impact earnings and available cash flow; (16) complying with
REIT requirements may limit our flexibility or cause us to forego
otherwise attractive opportunities; (17) we could have liability
under environmental and occupational safety and health laws; (18)
our towers, fiber networks, data centers or computer systems may be
affected by natural disasters (including as a result of climate
change) and other unforeseen events for which our insurance may not
provide adequate coverage or result in increased insurance
premiums; (19) if we, or third parties on which we rely, experience
technology failures, including cybersecurity incidents or the loss
of personally identifiable information, we may incur substantial
costs and suffer other negative consequences, which may include
reputational damage; (20) our costs could increase and our revenues
could decrease due to perceived health risks from radio emissions,
especially if these perceived risks are substantiated; (21) if we
are unable to protect our rights to the land under our towers and
buildings in which our data centers are located, it could adversely
affect our business and operating results; and (22) if we are
unable or choose not to exercise our rights to purchase towers that
are subject to lease and sublease agreements at the end of the
applicable period, our cash flows derived from those towers will be
eliminated. For additional information regarding factors that may
cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in
our forward-looking statements, we refer you to the information
that is provided in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our most
recent annual report on Form 10-K, and other risks described in
documents we subsequently file from time to time with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. We undertake no obligation to
update the information contained in this press release to reflect
subsequently occurring events or circumstances.

_______________
(1)
There are no material impairment charges
for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Three months ended June
30, 2023 includes impairment charges of approximately $37.5
million.
(2)
Includes distributions to noncontrolling
interest holders, distributions related to the outstanding
mandatorily convertible preferred equity in connection with the
Company’s agreements with certain investment vehicles affiliated
with Stonepeak Partners LP and adjustments for the impact of
noncontrolling interests on Nareit FFO attributable to American
Tower Corporation common stockholders.
(3)
Three months ended June 30, 2024 include
an adjustment for withholding taxes paid in India of $21.7 million,
which were incurred as a result of the Pending 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.
(4)
Three months ended June 30, 2024 and June
30, 2023 include losses on foreign currency exchange rate
fluctuations of $21.7 million and $107.6 million, respectively.
(5)
Primarily includes acquisition-related
costs, integration costs and disposition costs.
(6)
Includes adjustments for the impact of
noncontrolling interests on other line items, excluding those
already adjusted for in Nareit FFO attributable to American Tower
Corporation common stockholders.
