Capital allocation

Consistent with prior disclosures, Crown Castle expects to use a portion of the sale proceeds to repurchase $1.0 billion of shares under its stock repurchase program approved by its Board of Directors effective May 1, 2026, and reduce outstanding debt by more than $7.0 billion.

Management believes that AFFO helps investors or other interested parties meaningfully evaluate our financial performance as it includes (1) the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense on our outstanding debt and dividends on our preferred stock (in periods where applicable)) and (2) sustaining capital expenditures, and excludes the impact of our (1) asset base (primarily depreciation, amortization and accretion) and (2) certain non-cash items, including straight-lined revenues and expenses related to fixed escalations and rent free periods.
