FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SBA Communications Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results;

Updates Full Year 2025 Outlook; and Declares Quarterly Cash Dividend

Boca Raton, Florida, August 4, 2025 (BUSINESS NEWSWIRE) — SBA Communications Corporation (Nasdaq: SBAC) (“SBA” or the “Company”) today reported results for the quarter ended June 30, 2025.

Highlights of the second quarter include:

•

Net income of $225.7 million or $2.09 per share

•

Industry-leading AFFO per share of $3.17

•

Closed on 4,323 sites from our previously announced deal with Millicom

•

Repurchased 799 thousand shares throughout the quarter and subsequent to quarter end

In addition, the Company announced today that its Board of Directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $1.11 per share of the Company’s Class A Common Stock. The distribution is payable September 18, 2025 to the shareholders of record at the close of business on August 21, 2025.

“Today we announce another very positive quarter of financial and operating results,” commented Brendan Cavanagh, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Domestic activity remained very strong in the second quarter as our carrier customers continued to invest meaningfully in their wireless networks. New U.S. leasing business signed up during the quarter was ahead of our expectations and benefitted from continued high levels of new colocations. The results of our services business also reflect the significant level of network investment we are seeing, with construction volumes continuing to grow sequentially over the first quarter. Internationally, we also saw solid new leasing activity, and our company-wide total of new colocations executed during the quarter was the highest in nearly three years. In addition, we were able to close over 4,300 sites from our previously announced Millicom acquisition during the quarter, beginning the integration of these sites several months ahead of our prior projected timeframe. As a result of our strong leasing results, steady leasing and services backlogs, early Millicom closing, and favorable foreign currency movements, we have meaningfully increased our full year outlook across all key financial metrics. Our balance sheet remains strong with a quarter ending net debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio of 6.5x, and 6.3x adjusted on a pro forma basis for a full quarter of Adjusted EBITDA from the acquired Millicom assets, and only $80 million outstanding on our revolving credit facility. And lastly, as part of our ongoing portfolio review, we are announcing today that we have entered into an agreement to sell all of our Canadian tower assets. This divestiture will be immediately accretive to AFFO per share upon closing and is in alignment with our stated desire to optimize or otherwise exit subscale markets. I am very pleased with the progress we have made to date which will allow us to continue to focus our attention on growing and operating our key markets. Our team continues to execute very well, supporting our customers’ significant network goals, and creating incremental value for our shareholders.”

Investing Activities

During the second quarter of 2025, SBA acquired 4,329 communication sites, including 4,323 sites from the previously announced Millicom transaction, for total cash consideration of $562.9 million. SBA also built 94 towers during the second quarter of 2025. As of June 30, 2025, SBA owned or operated 44,065 communication sites, 17,437 of which are located in the United States and its territories and 26,628 of which are located internationally. In addition, the Company spent $9.4 million to purchase land and easements and to extend lease terms. Total cash capital expenditures for the second quarter of 2025 were $645.1 million, consisting of $13.8 million of non-discretionary cash capital expenditures (tower maintenance and general corporate) and $631.3 million of discretionary cash capital expenditures (new tower builds, tower augmentations, acquisitions, and purchasing land and easements).

As of the date of this press release, approximately 2,500 sites related to the Millicom transaction remain under contract for approximately $391.0 million in cash. In addition to the Millicom sites, the Company is under contract to purchase 13 communication sites for an aggregate consideration of $5.5 million in cash, which it expects to close by the end of the fourth quarter of 2025.

On July 21, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all of its 369 towers and related operations in Canada for CAD$446.0 million. This transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2025. Given the uncertainty of the closing date, the Company has made no adjustment to its full year 2025 Outlook related to this transaction.

Financing Activities and Liquidity

SBA ended the second quarter of 2025 with $12.6 billion of total debt, $9.6 billion of total secured debt, $0.3 billion of cash and cash equivalents, short-term restricted cash, and short-term investments, and $12.3 billion of Net Debt. SBA’s Net Debt and Net Secured Debt to Annualized Adjusted EBITDA Leverage Ratios were 6.5x and 4.9x, respectively.

As of the date of this press release, the Company had $35.0 million outstanding under its $2.0 billion Revolving Credit Facility.

During the second quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased 618 thousand shares of its Class A common stock for $130.7 million at an average price per share of $211.63 under its $1.5 billion stock repurchase plan. Subsequent to the second quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased an additional 182 thousand shares of its Class A common stock for $41.4 million at an average price per share of $227.92. After these repurchases, the Company had $1.45 billion of authorization remaining under the plan. Shares repurchased were retired.

In the second quarter of 2025, the Company declared and paid a cash dividend of $119.4 million.

Outlook

The Company is updating its full year 2025 Outlook for anticipated results. The 2025 Outlook provided is based on a number of assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable at the time of this press release. Information regarding potential risks that could cause the actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements is set forth below and in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company’s full year 2025 Outlook assumes the acquisitions of only those communication sites under contract which are expected to close in 2025 at the time of this press release. This includes an estimated closing date for the remaining sites under contract with Millicom of September 1, 2025; however, the ultimate closing is dependent upon regulatory approvals and other requirements and may differ from this date. The Company may spend

additional capital in 2025 on acquiring revenue producing assets not yet identified or under contract, the impact of which is not reflected in the 2025 Outlook. The 2025 Outlook also does not contemplate any additional repurchases of the Company’s stock or new debt financings during 2025, although the Company may ultimately spend capital to repurchase stock or issue new debt during the remainder of the year. The 2025 Outlook also does not contemplate any impact from the disposition of the Company’s Canadian operations, which, if closed prior to year end, would impact full year results.

The Company’s 2025 Outlook assumes an average foreign currency exchange rate of 5.60 Brazilian Reais to 1.0 U.S. Dollar, 1.36 Canadian Dollars to 1.0 U.S. Dollar, 2,650 Tanzanian Shillings to 1.0 U.S. Dollar, and 17.90 South African Rand to 1.0 U.S. Dollar throughout the last two quarters of 2025.

This press release and the Company’s earnings call include forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the Company’s expectations or beliefs regarding (i) the execution of its growth strategies and the impacts to its financial performance, (ii) continued growth in the U.S. and the drivers of that growth, (iii) its capital allocation strategy, (iv) its outlook for financial and operational performance in 2025, the assumptions it made and the drivers contributing to its full year 2025 Outlook, (v) the timing of closing for currently pending acquisitions, including the Millicom acquisition and its anticipated revenue, tower cash flows and other anticipated benefits, (vi) tower portfolio growth and its long-term growth potential, (vii) asset purchases, share repurchases, and debt financings, (viii) its ability to return capital to shareholders, (ix) the strength of its balance sheet and ability to generate significant free cash flow, (x) its customers’ ongoing network investments, (xi) international churn, and (xii) sale of its Canadian tower assets, including the timing of closing and impact to AFFO per share.

The Company wishes to caution readers that these forward-looking statements may be affected by the risks and uncertainties in the Company’s business as well as other important factors may have affected and could in the future affect the Company’s actual results and could cause the Company’s actual results for subsequent periods to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement made by or on behalf of the Company. With

respect to the Company’s expectations regarding all of these statements, including its financial and operational guidance, such risk factors include, but are not limited to: (1) the impact of macro-economic conditions, including high interest rates, tariffs, inflation and financial market volatility on (a) the ability and willingness of wireless service providers to maintain or increase their capital expenditures, (b) the Company’s business and results of operations, and on foreign currency exchange rates and (c) consumer discretionary income and demand for wireless services, (2) the timing of the closing of the Millicom acquisition and the Company’s ability to recognize anticipated revenues, tower cash flows and other anticipated benefits under the Millicom transaction, (3) the economic climate for the wireless communications industry in general and the wireless communications infrastructure providers in the United States and in the Company’s other international markets; (4) the Company’s ability to accurately identify and manage any risks associated with its acquired sites, to effectively integrate such sites into its business and to achieve the anticipated financial results; (5) the Company’s ability to secure and retain as many site leasing tenants as planned at anticipated lease rates; (6) the Company’s ability to manage expenses and cash capital expenditures at anticipated levels; (7) the impact of continued consolidation among wireless service providers in the U.S. and internationally, on the Company’s leasing revenue; (8) the Company’s ability to successfully manage the risks associated with international operations, including risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates; (9) the Company’s ability to secure and deliver anticipated services business at contemplated margins; (10) the Company’s ability to acquire land underneath towers on terms that are accretive; (11) the Company’s ability to obtain future financing at commercially reasonable rates or at all; (12) the Company’s ability to achieve the new builds targets included in its anticipated annual portfolio growth goals, which will depend, among other things, on obtaining zoning and regulatory approvals, availability and cost of labor and supplies, and other factors beyond the Company’s control that could affect the Company’s ability to build additional towers in 2025; and (13) the Company’s ability to meet its total portfolio growth, which will depend, in addition to the new build risks, on the Company’s ability to identify and acquire sites at prices and upon terms that will provide accretive portfolio growth, competition from third parties for such acquisitions and our ability to negotiate the terms of, and acquire, these potential tower portfolios on terms that meet our internal return criteria.

With respect to its expectations regarding the ability to close, and realize the benefits of, pending acquisitions, including the Millicom transaction, and the pending disposition of Canadian assets, these factors also include each party satisfactorily completing due diligence, the ability to receive required regulatory approval, the ability and willingness of each party to fulfill their respective closing conditions and their contractual obligations and, with respect to the Company’s acquisitions, the amount and quality of due diligence that the Company is able to complete prior to closing of any acquisition and the availability of cash on hand or borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility to fund the consideration, its ability to accurately anticipate the future performance of the acquired towers and any challenges or costs associated with the integration of such towers. With respect to the repurchases under the Company’s stock repurchase program, the amount of shares repurchased, if any, and the timing of such repurchases will depend on, among other things, the trading price of the Company’s common stock, which may be positively or negatively impacted by the repurchase program, market and business conditions, the availability of stock, the Company’s financial performance or determinations following the date of this announcement in order to use the Company’s funds for other purposes. Furthermore, the Company’s forward-looking statements and its 2025 outlook assumes that the Company continues to qualify for treatment as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes and that the Company’s business is currently operated in a manner that complies with the REIT rules and that it will be able to continue to comply with and conduct its business in accordance with such rules. In addition, these forward-looking statements and the information in this press release is qualified in its entirety by cautionary statements and risk factor disclosures contained in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The press release contains non-GAAP financial measures including (i) Cash Site Leasing Revenue, Tower Cash Flow, and Tower Cash Flow Margin; (ii) Adjusted EBITDA, Annualized Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin; (iii) Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”), and AFFO per share; (iv) Net Debt, Net Secured Debt, Leverage Ratio, and Secured Leverage Ratio (collectively, our “Non-GAAP Debt Measures”); and (v) certain financial metrics after eliminating the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (collectively, our “Constant Currency Measures”).

We have included these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that they provide investors additional tools in understanding our financial performance and condition.

Specifically, we believe that:

(1) Cash Site Leasing Revenue and Tower Cash Flow are useful indicators of the performance of our site leasing operations;

(2) Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors or other interested parties in evaluating our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is the primary measure used by management (1) to evaluate the economic productivity of our operations and (2) for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, our operations. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA helps investors or other interested parties meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations (1) from period to period and (2) to our competitors, by excluding the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest charges from our outstanding debt) and asset base (primarily depreciation, amortization and accretion) from our financial results. Management also believes Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors or other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is similar to the measure of current financial performance generally used in our debt covenant calculations. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance;

(3) FFO, AFFO and AFFO per share, which are metrics used by our public company peers in the communication site industry, provide investors useful indicators of the financial performance of our business and permit investors an additional tool to evaluate the performance of our business against those of our two principal competitors. FFO, AFFO, and AFFO per share are also used to address questions we receive from analysts and investors who routinely assess our operating performance on the basis of these performance measures, which are considered industry standards. We believe that FFO helps investors or other interested parties meaningfully evaluate financial performance by excluding the impact of our asset base (primarily depreciation, amortization and accretion and asset impairment and decommission costs). We believe that AFFO and AFFO per share help investors or other interested parties meaningfully evaluate our financial performance as they include (1) the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense on our outstanding debt) and (2) sustaining capital expenditures and exclude the impact of (1) our asset base (primarily depreciation, amortization and accretion and asset impairment and decommission costs) and (2) certain non-cash items, including straight-lined revenues and expenses related to fixed escalations and rent free periods and the non-cash portion of our reported tax provision. GAAP requires rental revenues and expenses related to leases that contain specified rental increases over the life of the lease to be recognized evenly over the life of the lease. In accordance with GAAP, if payment terms call for fixed escalations, or rent free periods, the revenue or expense is recognized on a straight-lined basis over the fixed, non-cancelable term of the contract. We only use AFFO as a performance measure. AFFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operations or as residual cash flow available for discretionary investment. We believe our definition of FFO is consistent with how that term is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and that our definition and use of AFFO and AFFO per share is consistent with those reported by the other communication site companies;

(4) Our Non-GAAP Debt Measures provide investors a more complete understanding of our net debt and leverage position as they include the full principal amount of our debt which will be due at maturity and, to the extent that such measures are calculated on Net Debt are net of our cash and cash equivalents, short-term restricted cash, and short-term investments; and

(5) Our Constant Currency Measures provide management and investors the ability to evaluate the performance of the business without the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

In addition, Tower Cash Flow, Adjusted EBITDA, and our Non-GAAP Debt Measures are components of the calculations used by our lenders to determine compliance with certain covenants under our Senior Credit Agreement and indentures relating to our 2020 Senior Notes and 2021 Senior Notes. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be an alternative to any of the financial measures provided in our results of operations or our balance sheet as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Financial Metrics after Eliminating the Impact of Changes In Foreign Currency Exchange Rates

We eliminate the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates for each of the financial metrics listed in the table below by dividing the current period’s financial results by the average monthly exchange rates of the prior year period, and by eliminating the impact of the remeasurement of our intercompany loans. The table below provides the reconciliation of the reported growth rate year-over-year of each of such measures to the growth rate after eliminating the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates to such measure.
