Crown Castle, which owns around 40,000 towers, generates the majority of its revenue from leasing out tower infrastructure to wireless carriers such as AT&T, T-Mobile US, and Verizon Communications in the United States on a long-term basis. The company's quarterly net income stood at $251 million at the end of June, surpassing analysts' estimates of $235.2 million.
Furthermore, Crown Castle's adjusted funds from operations came in at $1.62 per share, compared to $2.05 per share in the year-ago period. The company has also initiated a restructuring plan, which includes reducing its workforce and field offices, and plans to focus on existing fiber networks and limit new projects. This move is expected to result in approximately $100 million of annualized run-rate operating cost savings.
In addition to its core business, Crown Castle is also betting on the rise of artificial intelligence applications, which consume massive amounts of data to generate text, photos, and videos, thereby boosting demand for their tower infrastructure.
In the earnings statement, the company mentioned that it remains focused on continuing to progress the Fiber segment strategic review, which remains active and ongoing. Crown Castle, which competes with American Tower and SBA Communications, has maintained its outlook for full-year 2024.
