AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Crown Castle (CCI)

Crown Castle Q1 net income rises to $151 million; site rental revenue falls 5%

Mixed Impact 3 of 5 earnings Written later

Crown Castle reported first-quarter 2026 results, with net income of $151 million compared with a loss of $464 million a year earlier, mainly because the loss tied to the planned Fiber Business sale was smaller. Site rental revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and AFFO all declined, and the company kept its full-year 2026 outlook unchanged.

Key points

  • Net income was $151 million, or $0.34 per diluted share, versus a loss of $464 million, or $1.07 per share, in Q1 2025.
  • Site rental revenues were $961 million, down 5% from $1,011 million; Adjusted EBITDA was $675 million, down 7%.
  • AFFO was $446 million, or $1.02 per share, down 7% from $479 million, or $1.10 per share.
  • Full-year 2026 outlook was maintained, including AFFO of $1,895 million to $1,945 million; the Fiber Business sale to EQT and Zayo for $8.5 billion is expected to close in the first half of 2026.
