Properties, in its own words

Towers

We own, lease or manage approximately 40,000 towers geographically dispersed throughout the U.S. Towers are vertical metal structures generally ranging in height from 50 to 300 feet. Our tenants' wireless equipment may be placed on towers, building rooftops and other structures. Our towers are located on tracts of land that support the towers, equipment shelters and, where applicable, guy-wires to stabilize the tower.

The rest of Item 2

See the following for further information regarding our towers:

•"Item 1. Business—Overview" for information regarding our tower and fiber portfolios and the pending sale of the Fiber Business.

•"Item 7. MD&A—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Material Cash Requirements" for information regarding our lease obligations.

•"Schedule III - Schedule of Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation" for further information on our productive properties.

Approximately 55% of our towers are leased or subleased or operated and managed under master leases, subleases, or other agreements with AT&T and T-Mobile (including those which T-Mobile assumed in its merger with Sprint). We have the option to purchase these towers at the end of their respective lease terms. We have no obligation to exercise such purchase options. See note 5 to our consolidated financial statements and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" for a further discussion.

Substantially all of our towers can accommodate additional tenancy, either as currently constructed or with appropriate modifications. Additionally, if so inclined as a result of a request for a tenant addition, we could generally replace an existing tower with another tower, subject to certain restrictions.

Discontinued Operations

As of December 31, 2025, the Company owned or leased certain properties previously used in its Fiber segment, which has been classified as a discontinued operation. These properties consist of approximately 90,000 route miles of fiber primarily supporting our (1) approximately 105,000 small cell nodes either currently generating revenue or under contract and (2) fiber solutions. The majority of our fiber assets are located in major metropolitan areas, including a presence in most major U.S. markets.

As a result of the Strategic Fiber Transaction, these properties are classified as discontinued operations and are not utilized in the Company's continuing operations. See "Item 1. Business", "Item 7. MD&A—General Overview", and note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the Strategic Fiber Transaction.

Offices

Following the closure of the Strategic Fiber Transaction, which we expect to occur in the first half of 2026, we anticipate having four offices, including our principal corporate headquarters located in Houston, Texas. We believe that our facilities are suitable and adequate to meet our anticipated needs. See "Item 1. Business—Overview" for further discussion of the pending sale of the Fiber Business, which includes the sale of certain of our office buildings.

Item 2 of the 10-K filed Feb 23, 2026.19

The story

Crown Communications (1980-1997) and Castle Tower (1994-1997)

Crown Communications was founded in 1980 by Robert and Barbara Crown, natives of the Pittsburgh suburb of Green Tree. Crown Communications built, sited, owned, and maintained cell towers across the United States; within Pittsburgh and its surrounding region, the company had a near monopoly on cell towers.

Castle Tower was founded in 1994, starting with 133 Houston-area towers, and initially backed by two private investment firms. Among its first operational purchases was the transmission sites of the BBC, where Castle and French communications firm TDF Group outbid NTL Incorporated.

In 1997, Crown Communications merged with Houston's Castle Tower Corporation to form Crown Castle International. The terms of the merger stipulated that Castle would buy out Crown Communications, though the name of the company would be changed to Crown Castle and that the company would continue to operate with a strong presence in the Pittsburgh area. The merger of the two firms, completed in January 1998, more than doubled the assets of the now-merged Crown Castle.

Crown Castle International (1997-2015)

On August 31, 2004, Crown Castle completed the sale of its UK subsidiary, Crown Castle UK, to National Grid Transco plc for over $2 billion.

National Grid Transco plc was renamed to National Grid plc in July 2005, while Crown Castle UK was renamed National Grid Wireless in October 2005.

On January 12, 2007, Crown Castle completed the acquisition of Global Signal Inc., another U.S. tower operator that was based in Sarasota, Florida.

On December 11, 2011, Crown Castle announced an agreement to purchase NextG Networks, Inc. for nearly $1 billion. NextG had over 7,000 distributed antenna system nodes on-air at the time of the agreement, with another 1,500 nodes under construction as well as rights to more than 4,600 miles of fiber optic cables.

On September 28, 2012, Crown Castle entered a tower leasing agreement with T-Mobile US. The deal leases 7,200 wireless towers to the company for a term of 28 years in exchange for $2.4 billion. After the deal ends in 2040, Crown Castle will have an opportunity to purchase the towers for an additional $2.4 billion. Similarly, on October 20, 2013, Crown Castle entered a tower leasing agreement with AT&T Mobility. The deal leases 9,700 wireless towers to the company for a term of 28 years in exchange for $4.85 billion. Crown Castle also gained the right to acquire the towers outright in the future for $4.2 billion. 600 towers will be acquired outright by Crown Castle in the future. AT&T will pay $1,900 a month per site to access the towers, with rent rising approximately 2% per year.

In 2015, Crown Castle expanded into small cell technology in order to boost the capability and widen the scope of its network. The acquisition of Quanta Fiber Networks (Sunesys) in 2015 gave the company access to over 10,000 miles of fiber in various metro areas like Los Angeles, Chicago, Silicon Valley and Atlanta. Prior to that, in 2014, the company acquired the 24/7 Mid-Atlantic Network with over 800 miles of fiber along the East Coast of the U.S.

Domestic-exclusive firm (2015-present)

Crown Castle International sold off its Australian assets in 2015, removing its international focus and making the company exclusively operational in the United States. The company sold its last towers to Macquarie Group for $1.6 billion, which, after taxes and fees, gave a net gain of $1.3 billion to the company. The sale was motivated to boost the expansion of its domestic operations.

On July 19, 2017, Crown Castle signed an agreement to acquire Lightower, a fiber network operator in the northeast U.S., for approximately $7.1 billion. The transaction increased Crown Castle's fiber network to approximately 60,000 route miles. The buyout had a significant impact on second-quarter earnings reported in late July. Revenue increased by 3.3%, and small cells increased sales by 42%. Crown Castle also announced a $3.25 billion common stock offering as well as a $1.5 billion sale of convertible preferred shares to help finance the Lightower purchase.

Based on its 2019 revenue, in 2020 Crown Castle joined the Fortune 500 list for the first time, at number 496.

On March 13, 2025, Crown Castle announced that it will divest from its fiber and small cell businesses and focus on towers. Crown Castle agreed to sell its fiber assets to Zayo Group Holdings and its small cell assets to EQT Active Core Infrastructure for $4.25 billion each. The transactions closed on May 1, 2026, with Crown Castle receiving approximately $8.4 billion in net cash proceeds and transitioning into a pure-play U.S. tower company.

Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Crown Castle International Corp. names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 23, 2026: 31 risks under these headings, as written.19

  • Risks Relating to Our Debt and Equity
  • Risks Relating to Corporate Compliance
  • Risks Relating to Our REIT Status
  • Risks Relating to Our Business and Industry
  • Our business depends on the demand for our communications infrastructure (including towers, small cells and fiber), driven primarily by demand for data, and we may be adversely affected by any slowdown in such demand. Additionally, a reduction in the amount or change in the mix of network investment by our tenants may materially and adversely affect our business (including reducing demand for our communications infrastructure or services).
  • A substantial portion of our revenues is derived from a small number of tenants, and the loss, consolidation or financial instability of any of such tenants may materially decrease revenues, reduce demand for our communications infrastructure and services and impact our dividend per share growth.
  • The expansion or development of our business, including through acquisitions, increased product offerings or other strategic opportunities, may cause disruptions in our business, which may have an adverse effect on our business, operations or financial results.
  • Our Fiber business model contains certain differences from our Towers business model, resulting in different operational risks. If we do not successfully operate our Fiber business model or identify or manage the related operational risks through the closing of the Strategic Fiber Transaction, such operations may produce results that are lower than anticipated.
  • Failure to timely, efficiently and safely execute on our construction projects could adversely affect our business.
  • New technologies may reduce demand for our communications infrastructure or negatively impact our revenues.
  • If we fail to retain rights to our communications infrastructure, including the rights to land under our towers and the right-of-way and other agreements related to our small cells and fiber, our business may be adversely affected.
  • Our services business has historically experienced significant volatility in demand, which reduces the predictability of our results.
The other 23 risks
  • As a result of competition in our industry, we may find it more difficult to negotiate favorable rates on our new or renewing tenant contracts.
  • New wireless technologies may not deploy or be adopted by tenants as rapidly or in the manner projected.
  • If radio frequency emissions from wireless handsets or equipment on our communications infrastructure are demonstrated to cause negative health effects, potential future claims could adversely affect our operations, costs or revenues.
  • Cybersecurity breaches or other information technology disruptions could adversely affect our operations, business, and reputation.
  • If we do not continue to make appropriate investments in, and effectively implement and maintain, our information technology systems and digital capabilities, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.
  • Our business may be adversely impacted by climate-related events, natural disasters, including wildfires, and other unforeseen events.
  • Failure to attract, recruit and retain qualified and experienced employees could adversely affect our business, operations and costs.
  • Changes to management, including turnover of our top executives, could have an adverse effect on our business.
  • Actions that we are taking, or have completed, to restructure our business in alignment with our strategic priorities may not be as effective as anticipated.
  • Actions of activist stockholders could impact the pursuit of our business strategies and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition, or stock price.
  • not be received, and separation of the Fiber Business from our current operations, and if these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the transaction will not be completed.
  • Risks Relating to Our Pending Sale of the Fiber Business
  • The pendency of the sale of our Fiber Business to Zayo and EQT may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial position.
  • Completion of the Strategic Fiber Transaction is subject to the conditions contained in the Strategic Fiber Agreement, including regulatory approvals, which may not be received, and separation of the Fiber Business from our current operations, and if these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the transaction will not be completed.
  • The failure to complete the planned sale of the Fiber Business to Zayo and EQT could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, and stock price.
  • Our substantial level of indebtedness could adversely affect our ability to react to changes in our business, and the terms of our debt instruments limit our ability to take a number of actions that our management might otherwise believe to be in our best interests. In addition, if we fail to comply with our covenants, our debt could be accelerated.
  • We have a substantial amount of indebtedness. In the event we do not repay or refinance such indebtedness, we could face substantial liquidity issues and might be required to issue equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, or sell some of our assets, possibly on unfavorable terms, to meet our debt payment obligations.
  • Sales or issuances of a substantial number of shares of our common stock or securities convertible into shares of our common stock may adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
  • Certain provisions of our Charter and By-laws and operative agreements, and domestic and international competition laws may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us or for us to acquire control of a third party, even if such a change in control would be beneficial to our stockholders.
  • If we fail to comply with laws or regulations which regulate our business and which may change at any time, we may be fined or even lose our right to conduct some of our business.
  • Future dividend payments to our stockholders will reduce the availability of our cash on hand available to fund future discretionary investments, and may result in a need to incur indebtedness or issue equity securities to fund growth opportunities. In such event, the then current economic, credit market or equity market conditions will impact the availability or cost of such financing, which may hinder our ability to grow our per share results of operations.
  • Remaining qualified to be taxed as a REIT involves highly technical and complex provisions of the Code. Failure to remain qualified as a REIT would result in our inability to deduct dividends to stockholders when computing our taxable income, thereby increasing our tax obligations and reducing our available cash.
  • Complying with REIT requirements, including the 90% distribution requirement, may limit our flexibility or cause us to forgo otherwise attractive opportunities, including certain discretionary investments and potential financing alternatives.
  • REIT related ownership limitations and transfer restrictions may prevent or restrict certain transfers of our capital stock.

Legal proceedings

We are periodically involved in legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. Most of these proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business involve disputes with landlords, vendors, collection matters involving bankrupt tenants, zoning or siting matters, construction, condemnation, tax, employment, or wrongful termination matters. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect any pending matters to have a material adverse effect on us.
