Crown Castle: Empowering Connectivity and Fueling Growth in the Wireless Industry

Crown Castle, a leading cell tower owner/developer, is experiencing remarkable growth in 2021 and anticipates continued leasing activity and industry-leading tower revenue growth in 2022. With revenues of approximately $5.7 billion and a net income of $1.15 billion in 2021, Crown Castle is thriving in the wireless industry, solidifying its position as a key player in the telecommunications landscape.

​

Crown Castle's success is driven by its strong relationships with top tenants, including T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon Wireless, who contribute to over 75% of the company's consolidated site rental revenues. These revenues are derived from long-term tenant contracts, with initial terms ranging from five to 15 years, multiple renewal options, limited termination rights, and rental price escalations. Such agreements ensure stability and consistent revenue streams for Crown Castle.

As of December 31, 2021, Crown Castle boasts an average of 2.2 subtenants per tower, highlighting the value and demand for their infrastructure. The company actively negotiates land interests, focusing on purchases, extensions, and renegotiations of leases to maintain strong relationships with both tenants and landowners.

Crown Castle operates and manages its towers through agreements with major wireless carriers like AT&T, Sprint (now merged with T-Mobile), and T-Mobile. The company also retains purchase options for these towers, providing flexibility for future ownership. The increase in towers' site rental revenues is attributed to tenant additions, renewals, escalations, and non-renewals, reinforcing Crown Castle's successful business model and driving increased operating profit.

With a vast portfolio of over 40,000 cell towers across North America and coverage in 98 of the top 100 markets, Crown Castle has established a strong presence in the telecommunications industry. Strategic acquisitions, such as Global Signal Inc. and NextG Networks, have further expanded the company's reach and capabilities, enabling them to meet the growing demand for reliable and efficient wireless communication infrastructure.
