  • 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.

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.

  • 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.
