Status update summary
20 Mar, 2026Market and Contract Context
MSAs are long-term, indivisible contracts with 8+8 year renewal cycles, extended to 2038 after a 2022 change of control, and include an 'All or Nothing' clause and change of control protection.
Preferred supplier rights grant right of first offer and last refusal for new towers, ensuring competitive pricing and operational efficiency; anchors are prohibited from outsourcing new site construction without offering a last call.
Inflation is fully CPI-linked with a floor at zero and no cap, averaging 2% over 10 years and 2.9% over the last five.
Over €10 billion invested in tower acquisitions underpins the long-term agreements.
Updated 2026 Guidance and Financial Outlook
2026 revenue guidance set at €1.05–1.09 billion, reflecting market deterioration, strained tenant relationships, and industry headwinds.
EBITDA margin expected at about 90%, with EBITDAAL margin around 72%.
Recurring free cash flow forecasted at €550–590 million, with dividend per share at least €0.55 and leverage at 5.5x.
2025 guidance remains unchanged; medium-term outlook projects low single-digit annual revenue growth, continued margin expansion, and annual CapEx of €200 million.
Dividend sustainability is prioritized, with leverage target confirmed below 6.0x.
Baseline Scenario and Market Assumptions
Baseline outlook assumes a stagnant, conflictual market with no densification or digital infrastructure expansion.
Guidance includes only committed MSA revenues, excluding potential upsides from improved relationships.
Some recurring, but uncontracted, business has been paused or blocked, impacting 2026 revenues.
Guidance factors in possible legal escalation and ongoing uncertainty in customer negotiations.
Baseline scenario delivers modest revenue growth, margin expansion, and sustainable dividends.
