AI summary
  1. The company said domestic site leasing revenue rose $69.0 million in 2023 from the prior year, and international site leasing revenue rose $111.4 million. Site development revenue, by contrast, fell $102.2 million.

  2. SBA Communications said asset impairment and decommission costs rose $126.2 million in 2023 from the prior year. The company cited a higher impairment charge on sites planned for abandonment with minimal expected future economic benefit, mainly tied to Sprint and Oi churn, as the main driver, and said this was partly offset by a $45.1 million benefit from the reassessment of lease terms.

  3. The company said net income rose $37.6 million in 2023 from the prior year, and Adjusted EBITDA increased $124.9 million. It said the change in net income reflected foreign exchange rate movements, including the remeasurement of U.S. dollar-denominated intercompany loans with foreign subsidiaries.
