Risk Radar (year-over-year Risk Factors)

← All Risk Radar

Fiscal period ending 2025-12-31 versus 2024-12-31view filing on EDGAR →

Tax exposure more than doubled (reasonably possible losses to $109.7M, penalties/interest to $172.8M) while a new $56M EchoStar default and a definitive three-carrier concentration risk compound revenue vulnerability. Variable-rate debt rose to 21.1% of total indebtedness and land-owner termination attempts have escalated from theoretical to demonstrated, broadening the risk profile across multiple dimensions. The T-Mobile/Sprint churn reduction and lower fixed-escalator exposure provide partial offsets but do not neutralize the aggregate deterioration.

Revised

Revenue from right-of-use towers declined 9% ($120.0M to $109.2M). New language warns of actual termination attempts by land owners, escalating from theoretical risk to demonstrated threat.
