AMERICAN TOWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(tabular amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by American Tower Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “ATC” or the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The financial information included herein is unaudited. However, the Company believes that all adjustments, which are of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations for such periods have been included. The consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation—The accompanying consolidated and condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and those entities in which it has a controlling interest. Investments in entities that the Company does not control are accounted for using the equity method or as investments in equity securities, depending upon the Company’s ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company holds (i) a 52% controlling interest in subsidiaries whose holdings consist of the Company’s operations in France, Germany and Spain (such subsidiaries collectively, “ATC Europe”) (Allianz and CDPQ (each as defined in note 11) hold the noncontrolling interests), (ii) a 51% controlling interest in a joint venture whose holdings consist of the Company’s operations in Bangladesh (Confidence Tower Holdings Ltd. (“Confidence Group”) holds the noncontrolling interest) and (iii) a controlling common equity interest of approximately 72% in the Company’s U.S. data center business (Stonepeak (as defined and further discussed in note 11) holds approximately 28% of the outstanding common equity and 100% of the outstanding mandatorily convertible preferred equity). As of September 30, 2024, ATC Europe holds an 87% and an 83% controlling interest in subsidiaries that consist of the Company’s operations in Germany and Spain, respectively (PGGM holds the noncontrolling interests). See note 11 for a discussion of changes to the Company’s noncontrolling interests during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
ATC TIPL Transaction—On September 12, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its subsidiary ATC Telecom Infrastructure Private Limited (“ATC TIPL”), which held the Company’s operations in India. The divestiture qualified for presentation as discontinued operations. See note 15 for further discussion. Prior to the divestiture and classification as discontinued operations, ATC TIPL’s operating results were included within the Asia-Pacific property segment. Historical financial information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been adjusted to reflect the operating results of ATC TIPL as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Australia & New Zealand—During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company, through its subsidiary, ATC Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd., entered into agreements pursuant to which it expects to sell 100% of the ownership interests in its subsidiaries in Australia (“ATC Australia”) and New Zealand (“ATC New Zealand”) for total aggregate consideration of approximately $78.2 million as of the dates of signing, subject to certain adjustments. ATC Australia and ATC New Zealand’s operating results are included within the Asia-Pacific property segment. The divestitures will not qualify for presentation as discontinued operations.
Reportable Segments—The Company reports its results in seven segments – U.S. & Canada property, Asia-Pacific property, Africa property, Europe property, Latin America property, Data Centers and Services, which are discussed further in note 14.
Significant Accounting Policies—The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in note 1 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the 2023 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, other than those noted below.
Assets Held for Sale—The Company considers long-lived assets to be “held for sale” upon satisfaction of the following criteria: (a) management commits to a plan to sell an asset (or group of assets), (b) the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets, (c) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated, (d) the sale of the asset is probable and transfer of the asset is expected to be completed within one year, (e) the asset is being
AMERICAN TOWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(tabular amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted)
actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and (f) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Typically, these criteria are all met when the relevant assets are under contract, significant non-refundable deposits have been made by the potential buyer, the assets are immediately available for transfer and there are no contingencies related to the sale that may prevent the transaction from closing.
Assets classified as held for sale are reported at the lesser of the carrying value, or estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell and are not depreciated. The Company reassesses the fair value less costs to sell of assets held for sale in each reporting period in which they are classified as held for sale. Gains (losses) on held for sale assets are recorded in Other operating income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Discontinued Operations—The Company classifies the results of operations related to a disposal of assets and liabilities (“the disposal group”) in discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations if all of the following criteria are met: (a) the operations and cash flows of the disposal group can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the Company, (b) the disposal group meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale (as described above) or has been sold or disposed of by other means and (c) the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results.
The results of operations classified as discontinued operations are reported in Loss from discontinued operations, net of taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for all periods presented. Historical financial information included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements is adjusted to reflect the classification of results of operations as discontinued operations. See note 15 for a discussion of the results of operations classified as discontinued operations as of September 30, 2024.
Property and Equipment—The Company finalized its review of the estimated useful lives of its tower assets during the first quarter of 2024. The Company now has over 20 years of operating history, and determined that it should modify its current estimates for asset lives based on its historical operating experience. The Company retained an independent consultant to assist the Company in completing this review and analysis. The Company previously depreciated its towers on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the term of the underlying ground lease (including renewal options) taking into account residual value or the estimated useful life of the tower, which the Company had historically estimated to be 20 years. The Company determined that the estimated useful life of its tower assets is 30 years, before taking into account residual value. Additionally, certain of the Company’s intangible assets are amortized on a similar basis to its tower assets, as the estimated useful lives of such intangible assets correlate to the useful life of the towers. The Company accounted for the changes in the useful lives as a change in accounting estimate under ASC 250 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which were recorded prospectively beginning on January 1, 2024. On January 1, 2024, the Company began depreciating its towers and related intangible assets on a straight-line basis over the remaining estimated useful life of the tower, taking into account the extended useful life and residual value. The extension of the asset lives (i) resulted in an approximately $515 million increase in the right of use asset, as additional renewal options may be included, with an offsetting adjustment made to increase the related operating lease liability and (ii) is expected to result in an estimated $730 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Asset Retirement Obligations—The Company finalized its review of the estimated settlement dates for its asset retirement obligations during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company now has over 20 years of operating history, and determined that it should modify its current estimated settlement dates based on its historical operating experience, management’s intent with respect to the assets, and the assets’ estimated useful lives. Based on its review and analysis, the Company concluded that a revision in the estimated settlement dates for its asset retirement obligations was appropriate. The Company accounted for the change in estimated settlement dates as a change in accounting estimate under ASC 250 Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which was recorded prospectively beginning on January 1, 2024. The extension in the estimated settlement dates (i) resulted in a $470 million increase in the asset retirement obligation liability, with an offsetting adjustment made to the related long-lived tangible asset and an $875 million increase in the estimated undiscounted future cash outlay for asset retirement obligations, and (ii) is expected to result in an estimated $75 million decrease in accretion expense for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Adoption of Highly Inflationary Accounting in Ghana—The Ghanaian economy was deemed to be highly inflationary and, as a result, the Company adopted highly inflationary accounting as of January 1, 2024 for its subsidiary in Ghana. Under highly inflationary accounting, the functional currency of its subsidiary in Ghana will become the U.S. Dollar. All monetary and non-monetary assets and liabilities will be remeasured at the U.S. Dollar to Ghanaian Cedis exchange rate of 1 to 11.95 as of December 31, 2023. These amounts will become the new basis for those assets and liabilities as of January 1, 2024. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, as well as the corresponding income statement activities such as
AMERICAN TOWER CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(tabular amounts in millions, unless otherwise noted)
depreciation, amortization and equity, will continue to be measured at the historical exchange rate on December 31, 2023. Gains and losses on foreign currency arising in connection with the remeasurement of local currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities for foreign operating subsidiaries in economies that are deemed to be highly inflationary are reflected in Other expense in the consolidated statements of operations. This change is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, as Ghana’s assets and revenue are approximately 1% and 1% of consolidated assets and revenue, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash—The reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the applicable balance sheet that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statements of cash flows is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| | 2024 | | 2023 |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 2,150.3 | | | $ | 1,985.8 | |
Restricted cash | | 131.9 | | | 111.6 | |
Cash and cash equivalents included in assets of discontinued operations | | — | | | 133.1 | |
Restricted cash included in assets of discontinued operations | | — | | | 1.1 | |
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | | $ | 2,282.2 | | | $ | 2,231.6 | |
Revenue—The Company’s revenue is derived from leasing the right to use its communications sites, the land on which the sites are located, the land underlying its customers’ sites and the space in its data center facilities (the “lease component”) and from the reimbursement of costs incurred by the Company in operating the communications sites and data center facilities and supporting its customers’ equipment as well as other services and contractual rights (the “non-lease component”). Most of the Company’s revenue is derived from leasing arrangements and is accounted for as lease revenue unless the timing and pattern of revenue recognition of the non-lease component differs from the lease component. If the timing and pattern of the non-lease component revenue recognition differs from that of the lease component, the Company separately determines the stand-alone selling prices and pattern of revenue recognition for each performance obligation. Revenue related to distributed antenna system (“DAS”) networks and fiber and other related assets results from agreements with customers that are generally not accounted for as leases.
Non-lease property revenue—Non-lease property revenue consists primarily of revenue generated from DAS networks, fiber and other property related revenue. DAS networks and fiber arrangements generally require that the Company provide the tenant the right to use available capacity on the applicable communications infrastructure. Performance obligations are satisfied over time for the duration of the arrangements. Non-lease property revenue also includes revenue generated from interconnection offerings in the Company’s data center facilities. Interconnection offerings are generally contracted on a month-to-month basis and are cancellable by the Company or the data center customer at any time. Performance obligations are satisfied over time for the duration of the arrangements. Other property related revenue streams, which include site inspections, are not material on either an individual or consolidated basis. There were no material changes in the receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Services revenue—The Company offers tower-related services in the United States. These services include site application, zoning and permitting (“AZP”), structural and mount analyses, and construction management. There is a single performance obligation related to AZP and construction management, and revenue is recognized over time based on milestones achieved, which are determined based on costs expected to be incurred. Structural and mount analyses services may have more than one performance obligation, contingent upon the number of contracted services. Revenue is recognized at the point in time the services are completed.
A summary of revenue disaggregated by source and geography is as follows:
