… earlier in the release
IMPACT ON FIBER SEGMENT ACCOUNTING TREATMENT Beginning in the first quarter of 2025, the Fiber segment will be presented within Crown Castle’s financial statements as a discontinued operation and its net assets will be classified as held for sale, with comparable prior periods recast to reflect this change. Upon classification as held for sale, the Company expects to recognize a loss of approximately $800 million in the first quarter of 2025 and a total loss of between $700 million and $900 million The pathway to possible. CrownCastle.com News Release continued: Page 4 for the full year 2025, inclusive of estimated transaction fees. Due to being included as a discontinued operation going forward, contributions from the Fiber segment are included in the Company’s full year 2025 Outlook for net income but excluded from site rental revenues, Adjusted EBITDA and AFFO. HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE YEAR • Site rental revenues. Site rental revenues decreased 2.7%, or $174 million, from full year 2023 to full year 2024, inclusive of $235 million Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings, which was more than offset by reductions in non-cash amortization of prepaid rent and straight-lined revenues of $266 million and a $145 million decrease in other revenues. The $145 million decrease in other revenues includes a $165 million decrease due to the absence of Sprint Cancellation payments that occurred in 2023, partially offset by approximately $20 million of small cell early termination payments received in 2024. The $235 million in Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings includes a $9 million
