CapyFin.com Forward Guidance
SBA Communications has updated its full year 2025 outlook, increasing projections across all key financial metrics due to strong leasing results, steady backlogs, early Millicom closing, and favorable foreign currency movements. The outlook assumes the closing of remaining Millicom sites by September 1, 2025, and does not include impacts from potential future stock repurchases or the sale of Canadian tower assets.
Positive Outlook
- Total revenues are projected to increase to a range of $2,780.0 million to $2,825.0 million.
- Tower Cash Flow is expected to be between $2,058.0 million and $2,083.0 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted to range from $1,908.0 million to $1,928.0 million.
- AFFO is anticipated to be between $1,365.0 million and $1,405.0 million.
- AFFO per share is projected to be in the range of $12.65 to $13.02.
Challenges Ahead
- The outlook does not account for any additional repurchases of the Company’s stock during 2025.
- The impact of the disposition of the Company’s Canadian operations is not contemplated in the full year results, as the closing date is uncertain.
- The ultimate closing of the remaining Millicom sites is dependent upon regulatory approvals and other requirements, which may differ from the assumed September 1, 2025 date.
- The company may spend additional capital in 2025 on acquiring revenue-producing assets not yet identified or under contract, which is not reflected in the outlook.
- The outlook is based on specific foreign currency exchange rate assumptions, and fluctuations could impact actual results.
