Forward Guidance
SBA Communications provided its initial full year 2022 Outlook, anticipating continued strong performance driven by customer activity and demand for wireless communications infrastructure. The guidance assumes acquisitions of communication sites under contract and average foreign currency exchange rates. The outlook does not contemplate any additional repurchases of the company’s stock during 2022.
Positive Outlook
- Strong customer activity and demand for wireless communications infrastructure are expected to continue.
- Largest US customers are disclosing robust capital expenditure plans for 2022.
- Domestic activity is expected to remain strong into 2023 and perhaps beyond, given the size and scope of customers’ 5G deployment plans.
- Gross leasing demand is expected to remain strong internationally, particularly in light of the recent 5G spectrum auction in Brazil and the upcoming 5G spectrum auction in South Africa.
- New markets in Tanzania and the Philippines are expected to grow favorably in the years to come.
Challenges Ahead
- Guidance assumes acquisitions of only those communication sites under contract and anticipated to close at the time of this press release.
