“We’re starting to see exactly where they’re targeting the sites and how they’re thinking of deploying 5G network in terms of what equipment needs to be added, how much of it needs to be added.”Delayed timing of T-Mobile’s network activity might not necessarily be a bad thing for American Tower, according to MoffettNathanson analysts.Specifically, he noted, the risk appeared to relate mostly to network services.- Organic rental revenue growth was 5.8%.- Fiber rental revenues were $443 million.MoffettNathanson’s Del Deo indicated impacts from COVID-19 might make leasing more attractive as carriers look to reduce costs, writing that “a recession that stresses carrier balance sheets could help swing the small cell pendulum away from DIY and back toward leasing.”- Services revenues were $111 million, while services costs came in at $99 million.- Paid common stock dividends of about $513 million in aggregate, or $1.20 per common share, an increase of 7% compared to the same period a year prior.- 5.5% growth in site rental revenues to $1.31 billion, including $71 million from organic contribution.While Brown in his prepared remarks cautioned that it’s possible Crown Castle could see some new challenges in terms of getting construction crews to sites or exacerbated issues with zoning and permitting, he indicated the comments were made more out of recognition of widespread disruption from COVID-19 and keeping an open mind that the company might not be able to completely foresee all possible impacts.It’s not just T-Mobile though, as Crown Castle CEO Jay Brown speaking on the earnings call said the 5G-related ramp in carrier activity is true across each of the major U.S. operators, both in aggregate and individually.In addition to its tower sites, Crown Castle also has a fiber and small cell business and interestingly, the company saw no impact in Q1 and very minimal impact in April, in terms of construction-related delays.Crown Castle didn’t see any impact on its business in the first quarter from the COVID-19 pandemic, and expects a significant increase in activity in the second half of 2020 as carriers ramp up 5G deployments.“Guidance suggests roughly $150M in network services margin for the full year, or about $45M over each of the next three quarters, vs. $14M in Q1 and an average of $45M in the ‘pre-T-Mobile slowdown’ quarters,” wrote Del Deo.
Crown has about 40,000 towers, making it the second-largest cellphone tower company in the U.S. Crown … “Again, that’s not crazy given the work T-Mobile needs to perform on its network, but if Q2 is also slow it implies a great deal of activity in the second half. It then leases space on its towers to wireless carriers who install their own antennas.Rivals like American Tower Corp (AMT) and SBA Communications (SBAC) don’t own any small towers.According to the FCC, its plan will slash the cost of building 5G towers by 50% on average and cut approval time by over a year.In short, it makes the computer chips inside the new cell towers that are needed for 5G.
Instead, they rent space on towers built and owned by companies like Crown Castle (CCI).In short, Crown Castle builds cell towers across America. But the companies that stand to gain the most from the rollout of 5G are tower operators Crown Castle, American Tower and SBA Communications.
The company has historically produced small cell towers that fit on lampposts.
Like American Tower, Crown Castle, is structured as a REIT. Network services revenue is also exposed to the potential for COVID-19 slippage.”- Adjusted EBIDTA and AFFO each grew by 1% to $814 million and $593 million, respectively.So far, the company says crews have been able to work and install infrastructure without interruption.At the mid-point of its 2020 guidance, Crown Castle anticipates site rental revenue growth of 5%, Adjusted EBIDTA growth of 6% and AFFO growth of 9%. My team and I hunt for under-the-radar "disruptive" companies that are changing the world and making investors rich in the process.
... "Plus, Crown Castle … 5G is the next generation of wireless connectivity. For 2020, Crown Castle is still expecting about $175 million in new leasing activity from towers, $70 million from small cells and about $165 million from fiber.“With our unmatched base of towers, small cells, and fiber we believe we’re in a very favorable position to assist Dish as they build out their network,” Brown said.
