Exhibit 99.1 · the passage around this item
… earlier in the release
“In 2026, we expect to offset headwinds from DISH terminations and Sprint Cancellations at the bottom-line with growth in the underlying business, operating costs reductions, and lower interest expense as we repay debt using proceeds from the Fiber Business sale. Consistent with our capital allocation framework and considering the impact of DISH Terminations, we expect to repurchase approximately $1 billion of shares and repay approximately $7 billion of debt following the Fiber Business sale close. We ended the quarter with significant liquidity and flexibility, including approximately 84% fixed rate debt, a weighted average debt maturity of approximately 6 years, and approximately $4.1 billion of availability under our revolving credit facility." OUTLOOK This Outlook section contains forward-looking statements, and actual results may differ materially. Information regarding potential risks which could cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements herein is set forth below and in Crown Castle's filings with the SEC. The following table sets forth Crown Castle's current full year 2026 Outlook, which does not include contributions from the Fiber Business unless indicated otherwise. Additionally, full year 2026 Outlook reflects the following items: • Our full year 2026 Outlook does not include any contributions from DISH Wireless due to the termination of our contract with DISH Wireless announced on January 12, 2026. • We are reducing our tower and corporate workforce along with other costs, resulting in a $65 million reduction in annualized run-rate operating cost
