The company experienced significant growth in its site development segment, with revenues rising to $75.9 million in Q3 2025, compared to $41.9 million in Q3 2024, reflecting an increase of 81.2%. This growth was attributed to heightened carrier activity. In contrast, site leasing revenues increased modestly, with domestic site leasing revenues rising by 1.1% and international site leasing revenues increasing by 13.9% on a constant currency basis. The company also reported a notable increase in site leasing revenues from newly acquired towers, contributing to the overall revenue growth.
SBA Communications has been active in expanding its portfolio, acquiring 5,120 towers and related assets during the first nine months of 2025, including a significant transaction with Millicom International Cellular S.A. The company also sold its operations in the Philippines and Colombia, with proceeds from these sales included in its financial results. As of September 30, 2025, the company owned 44,581 towers, with approximately 30% located in Brazil and 10% in Guatemala.
Operationally, the company reported an increase in total assets to $11.3 billion as of September 30, 2025, compared to $11.4 billion at the end of 2024. However, total liabilities also increased, leading to a shareholders' deficit of $4.9 billion. The company’s cash and cash equivalents stood at $430.3 million, a significant increase from $189.8 million at the end of 2024. The company’s strategic focus remains on enhancing its tower portfolio and optimizing its capital allocation strategy, which includes stock repurchases and dividend payments. Looking ahead, SBA Communications anticipates continued growth in core site leasing revenue driven by increased demand for wireless services and the deployment of new technologies.
