Our operations and performance depend on worldwide economic conditions. These conditions have been adversely impacted by continued global economic concerns over inflation, supply chain disruptions, a potential recession, outbreak of war or ongoing conflicts, uncertainty with respect to tariffs and trade relations, and other monetary and financial uncertainties.see in full comparisonContinued inflation may adversely affect our liquidity, business, financial condition and results of operations by increasing our overall cost structure.The existence of inflation in the economy has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher interest rates and capital costs, supply shortages, increased costs of labor, components, manufacturing and shipping, as well as weakening exchange rates and other similar effects. Increased interest rates and additional debt have resulted in increased interest expenses.

We are highly dependent on our information technology (“IT”) systems for the operation of our network, our facilities, workforce management, delivery of services to our customers and the compilation of our financial results. Telecommunications providers, including vendors to providers, are increasingly being targeted by cyber criminals. These attacks do not alwaysmay target data specific to our businessbusiness, butseek oftento encrypt and demand a ransom, and/or seek access to the data from market participants in more lucrativeother industries. Disruptions in our networks and the unavailability of our services or our inability to efficiently and effectively complete necessary technology or systems upgrades, or conversions could lead to a loss of customers, damage to our reputation and violation of the terms of our licenses and contracts with customers.customers or applicable law. Additionally, breaches of security may lead to unauthorized access to our customer or employee information processed and stored in, and transmitted through, our IT systems. We may be required to expend significant resources to protect our IT and operational networks and may need to expend additional resources to modify our protective measures or to investigate and remediate vulnerabilities or other exposures arising from operational and security risks. Additionally, the techniques and sophistication used to conduct cyber-attacks and breaches of information technology systems change frequently and increase in complexity and are often not recognized until such attacks are launched or have been in place for a period of time. For example, as AI continues to evolve, cyber-attackers could also use AI to develop or hone their attacks. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully prevent a material security breach stemming from future cyberattacks or avoid major outages caused by such an attack or breach. These failures could also lead to significant negative publicity,publicity and reputational harm, and we may be subject to litigation, regulatory penalties and financial losses.
Many of the areas in which we operate have experienced severe weather conditions including hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, fires, damaging storms, floods and earthquakes. Such events have in the past and in the future may materially disrupt and adversely affect our business operations. Major hurricanes have hit the US Virgin Islands, Bermuda, and Cayman several times in the past decade, causing damage to our network and to the infrastructure on the islands. Guyana and Cayman have each suffered from severe rains and flooding in the past as well. In Alaska, our operations face earthquake, volcanic, fire and winter storm risk. This risk to our Company is heightened by the limited emergency response resources in many of our service areas, which may be difficult to access during an emergency situation, potentially delaying service restoration during critical times following a natural disaster or other disruptive event. In addition, the impacts of climate change may exacerbate the risk of significant damage in the areas in which we operate if the frequency or duration of more intense weather events increase. We cannot be sure that these types of events will not have an impact in the future or that we can procure insurance coverage against these types of severe weather and geological events under reasonable business terms and conditions, or that any insurance coverage we are able to maintain will fully fund the replacement of assets and adequately compensate us for all damage and economic losses resulting from natural catastrophes. If we are unable to restore service on a timely and cost-effective basis, it could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations through continued loss of revenue and customer attrition.
Network outages could have a material adverse effect on our business and can be caused by a myriad of incidents, including aging or faulty infrastructure, natural disasters, cyber-attacks, and third-party outages, such as power loss or subsea cable outage. Much of our underlying physical infrastructure (particularly in Guyana and Alaska), including buildings, fleet vehicles and related systems and equipment, has been in service for an extended period of time. InDue addition,to the rural and island locations of our agingnetworks, networkour exposesenergy uscosts tend to increasedbe high, and where we have not removed all of our legacy copper network, on average, can be higher than those of our competitors operating in the same markets.

We may not be able to adequately fund the maintenance and replacement of this infrastructure on a basis timely enough to avoid material outages, decrease our rising energy costs, accurately predict equipment failure rates, or be able to locate replacement parts or spares to repair existing equipment due to its age. Any network outage as a result of our aging infrastructure or unreliable energy grid could negatively impact our operations, including the provision of service to our customers, and could result in adverse effects to our financial condition and reputation.
We are reliant on government funding that could change as a result of changes to governmental policies and programs.
In the western US, we receive government awards to both enable our expanded carrier service initiative and grow the footprint of our network. We receive federal and state universal service revenues to support our wireline operations in high-cost areas in Alaska, the US Virgin Islands, and the western US. We receive US government funding and awards from numerous other sources, including E-rate, EACAM, RHC Program, Tribal Broadband Connectivity, CAF II, RDOF, and state funding, and are also a participant in the FCC’s Replace and Remove Program. Each government award or support imposes explicit conditions regarding operational requirements, timelines and deployment of service, and required reporting, each that require strict compliance. If we are unable to meet the terms of the awards, our funding may be subject to claw back in addition to other consequences.
Administrative and operational expertise is required to meet the growing number of government award programs that we have been awarded, and in particular, to work through the backlog of government environmental and real estate permitting needed to build, expand or alter fiber or tower facilities in rural jurisdictions. The US federal government shutdown in 2025, as well as the decrease in federal workers to process easement and other necessary permitting, continues to have impacts on the operations of our Company with respect to backlog in permitting that accumulated during the shutdown.
Further, there is a risk that the FCC may continue to enumerate requirements, change stated rules, or delay or withhold funding. For example, if the FCC were to add a new company to the Covered List of foreign companies whose telecommunications equipment is subject to usage restrictions that has provided a significant amount of equipment to our subsidiaries, we cannot predict how our business will be impacted or what sort of adverse consequences may result.
Geopolitical instability and US military presence in the Caribbean may impact our operations.
A substantial part of our operations is located in the Caribbean, and we have undersea cable connectivity and corporate functions in several jurisdictions, including Trinidad and Tobago. The US military has been increasing its presence in the Caribbean recently, including a buildup of naval forces in the area and the January 3, 2026 large-scale strike in Venezuela. There are a number of potential business and operational impacts in the event that military activity escalates, such as physical damage to our telecommunications and subsea infrastructure, impairment to critical infrastructure and facilities (like power), workforce disruptions, changes to customer base and competitive markets, and inability to travel, as well as macroeconomic risks like currency fluctuation, oil and gas prices and general market instability. Any further geopolitical volatility, including the threat of or actual military action, may adversely impact our operations and financial results.
Due to the rural and island locations of our networks, our energy costs tend to be high, and due to the nature of our network on average can be higher than those of our competitors operating in the same markets. We are reliant on the stability of the energy grid in each of our markets to provide services, however, frequent power outages in several of our markets result in our service outages. We are working to shut down certain energy-inefficient parts of our network, such as our copper plants in Guyana, but rising energy costs may offset any efficiencies gained. While generator backups are in place where blackouts are common, generators run on costly fuel which contributes to higher energy costs. Notwithstanding the significant investments that are being made in the US Virgin Islands and in Guyana to upgrade the country's power network, there is no guarantee that the local governments will be able to stabilize the electric infrastructure in the future.
Any network outage could negatively impact our operations, including the provision of service to our customers, and could result in adverse effects to our financial condition and reputation.
Many of the areas in which we operate have experienced severe weather conditions including hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, fires, damaging storms, floods and earthquakes. Such events may materially disrupt and adversely affect our business operations. Major hurricanes have hit the US Virgin Islands, Bermuda, and Cayman several times in the past decade, causing damage to our network and to the infrastructure on the islands. Guyana and Cayman have each suffered from severe rains and flooding in the past as well. In Alaska, our operations face earthquake, volcanic, fire and winter storm risk. This risk to our company is heightened by the limited emergency response resources in many of our service areas, which may be difficult to access during an emergency situation, potentially delaying service restoration during critical times following a natural disaster or other disruptive event. In addition, the impacts of climate change may exacerbate the risk of significant damage in the areas in which we operate if the frequency or duration of more intense weather events increase. We cannot be sure that these types of events will not have an impact in the future or that we can procure insurance coverage against these types of severe weather and geological events under reasonable business terms and conditions, or that any insurance coverage we are able to maintain will fully fund the replacement of assets and adequately compensate us for all damage and economic losses resulting from natural catastrophes. If we are unable to restore service on a timely and cost-effective basis, it could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations through continued loss of revenue and customer attrition.
We rely on a limited number of key suppliers and vendors.
As a telecommunications service provider, we depend on a limited number of suppliers for equipment and services relating to our network infrastructure, mobile handset lineup, and back-office IT systems infrastructure. If these suppliers experience interruptions, price increases due to tariffs, including those imposed or that may be imposed by the new US administration, or higher inflation, or other problems delivering equipment to us on a timely and cost-effective basis, our subscriber or revenue growth and operating results could suffer significantly. For instance, our retail wireless businesses depend on access to compelling handset devices at reasonable prices on the primary and secondary markets. The size of our business, relative to many of our competitors puts us at a disadvantage in terms of whether we will get access to the newest technologies at the same time as our competitors, as well as a financial disadvantage in terms of the ability to achieve economies of scale and receive commensurate discounts that may be available to our competitors.
A large portion of our equipment is sourced, directly or indirectly, from outside the United States. Major changes in tax policy or trade relations, such as the disallowance of tax deductions for imported products or the imposition of higher tariffs or duties on imported products imposed or that may be imposed by the new US administration , could also adversely affect our business, results of operations, effective income tax rate, liquidity and net income. We continue to monitor other supply chain risks such as the increased cost and impact of tariffs, inflationary trends, availability of materials and services based on the subsidized dollars available for telecommunications companies in the US.
The success of our business depends on the ability of our executive officers and operating unit leaders to develop and execute our business plan, identify and pursue new opportunities and product innovations, and attract and retain these leaders along with other highly qualified technical and management personnel. We believe that there is, and will continue to be, strong competition for qualified personnel in the communications industry and in our marketsmarkets, and we cannot be certain that we will be able to attract and retain the personnel necessary for the development of our business.
We rely heavily on local management to run our operating units. Many of the markets in which we operate are small and remote, and in some cases are subject to government restrictions on granting work visas, which could make it difficult for us to attract and retain talented and qualified managers and staff in those markets. While the Company has consolidated certain key management roles, particularly in our international segment, reducing the risk associated with filling and maintaining fewer positions, it also increases the need for effective change management and continuity planning. The loss of key personnel or the inability to attract or retain individuals with the expertise to operate complex communications equipment, networks and systems could have a material adverse effect on our ability to maintain effective internal controls, and on our business, financial condition and results of operations. WeAdditionally, we do not currently maintain “key person” life insurance on any of our key employeesemployees, and none of the executivesexecutive officers at our parent company have executed employment agreements requiring a specified period of service.
We rely on a limited number of key suppliers and vendors and if our relationships with them are interrupted it could adversely impact our business.

We continue to monitor other supply chain risks such as the increased cost and impact of tariffs, inflationary trends, availability of materials and services based on the subsidized dollars available for telecommunications companies in the US.
We are reliant on government funding to execute on the FCC’s Remove and Replace program.
The FCC’s governmental restrictions on the procurement of equipment from certain vendors has resulted in a costly network replacement build in our western United States operations that is funded in part by the FCC’s Replace and Remove Program. In July 2022, the FCC approved our eligible subsidiaries’ participation in the program but also announced that the total amount of approved costs for which reimbursement was sought by all applicants was far in excess of the amount appropriated by Congress. In December 2024 this program was fully funded for reimbursement to the Company of up to approximately $517 million. See US Telecom Segment – Mobility Services –Replace and Remove Program.
Companies that were awarded funding must complete the removal, replacement, and disposal of Covered List equipment and services in their networks within a specified project completion deadline. However, delays due to factors such as supply-chain issues, delayed approval of reimbursement requests, the underfunding of the program, and other external circumstances could prevent our subsidiaries from meeting these timelines.
We cannot predict whether and to what extent the fund administrator will approve our subsidiaries’ requests for the specific reimbursement of costs, whether we will obtain additional necessary extensions of the completion deadlines, or whether we can complete our participation in the program within the timelines set by the FCC.
Finally, there is a risk that the FCC may continue to enumerate requirements, change stated rules, or delay or withhold funding, including as result of changes to governmental policies and programs, including loans, grants, guarantees and other subsidies. For example, if the FCC were to add a new company to the Covered List of foreign companies whose telecommunications equipment is subject to usage restrictions that has provided a significant amount of equipment to our subsidiaries, we cannot predict how our business will be impacted or what sort of adverse consequences may result.
We are reliant on government funding which brings compliance obligations and risk of change in federal or state funding, including as a result of changes to governmental policies and programs.
In the western United States, we are using government awards to both enable our expanded carrier service initiative and grow the footprint of our network. We receive federal and state universal service revenues to support our wireline operations in high-cost areas in Alaska, the US Virgin Islands, and in the western United States. We receive US government funding and awards from numerous other sources, including E-rate, EACAM, RHC program, Tribal Broadband Connectivity, CAF II, RDOF, and state funding. Each government award or support imposes explicit conditions regarding operational requirements, timelines and deployment of service, and required reporting, each that require strict compliance. Administrative and operational expertise is required to meet the growing number of government award programs that we have been awarded. If we are unable to meet the terms of the awards, our funding may be subject to claw back in addition to other consequences. For example, on May 8, 2024, we entered into a Consent Decree with the FCC Enforcement Bureau, regarding both the USAC and FCC Enforcement Bureau’s investigation with respect to our compliance with Rural Healthcare Program Rules in the 2017 year and agreed to (i) pay a settlement amount of approximately $6.3 million, and (ii) enter into a three-year compliance agreement in connection with Alaska Communication’s continued participation in the RHC Program. While we believe that we are in material compliance with the Consent Decree and our ongoing RHC Program obligations, any violation of the Consent Decree or other compliance failures may result in additional penalties.
Further, there can be no assurance that we will continue to meet our various government obligations in a capital-efficient manner. For example, if we fail to meet our buildout and service obligations, or if we require substantial additional capital expenditures to meet the obligations under the timeline required, or if the relevant government agencies reduce funding availability, our revenue, results of operations, and liquidity may be materially adversely impacted.
Finally, there is uncertainty regarding any future levels of these revenues, as the new US administration may choose to decrease or cease funding certain programs, and the constitutionality of the federal universal service program is currently under judicial review. There can be no assurance that government support will continue at its current levels and decreases, losses, or disruptions in the funding of certain programs may have a materially adverse impact on our revenues.
Additionally, in some instances, we compete against companies that have greater financial and personnel resources, greater brand name recognition, more extensive coverage areas, access to technologies not available to us and long-established relationships with regulatory authorities and customers. These additional resources may allow these competitors to offer bundled service offerings that we are not able to duplicate and offer more services than we do. We may not be able to successfully compete with these larger competitors to attract new customers and retain existing customers. As a result, we could experience lower revenues, higher sales and marketing expenses and lower earnings, which could have an adverse effect on our business and our results of operations.
We may not be able to close our sale of US towers.
On February 11, 2026, we announced the sale of a substantial portion of our tower portfolio (the “Tower Portfolio”) in the southwestern US to EIP Holdings IV, LLC, an affiliate of Everest Infrastructure Partners, Inc. (“Everest”) (the “Tower Portfolio Transaction”). Our ability to close the Tower Portfolio Transaction is dependent on our ability to receive certain third-party consents and approvals, including the expiration of any waiting period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Act of 1976, and to cure certain conditions identified at the signing of the Tower Portfolio Transaction with respect to certain sites. We cannot guarantee when or if these or other conditions will be satisfied or that the Tower Portfolio Transaction will be successfully completed.
In addition, as part of the Tower Portfolio Transaction, EIP Holdings IV, LLC, an affiliate of Everest Infrastructure Partners, Inc. (“Everest”) has agreed to provide payment and assume the management of certain sites (the “Managed Sites”), for which we will have one year following the closing to remedy any Managed Site conditions, or we will be required to repay the transaction proceeds related to such sites.
The Tower Portfolio Transaction also contemplates our lease and continued use of space on the Tower Portfolio for our current wireless operations (the “Leaseback”), and is intended to enable us to monetize illiquid fixed assets to satisfy our short- and long-term needs, including investing in growth initiatives and de-levering our balance sheet. However, the Leaseback creates the risk of loss if we default on the terms of the Master Lease Agreements, which could negatively harm our financial position, results of operations and liquidity. In addition, the Leaseback may result in higher overall costs and increase the Company’s operating expenses.
If we are unable to consummate the Tower Portfolio Transaction, or if we are not able to operate economically under the Leaseback, this could adversely affect our business, financial results and stock price. Even if the Tower Portfolio Transaction is successfully consummated, we may not realize the anticipated benefits thereof, including those related to the Leaseback, and our business, financial results and stock price could be negatively impacted.
Historically, we have funded our capital expenditures and transactional matters from a combination of cash on hand, cash from operations, and debt. With the acquisitions of Alaska Communications and Sacred Wind and our investment in our “First-to-Fiber” and “Glass & Steel™” strategies, we have substantially decreased our cash reserves and increased our leverage on a consolidated basis.
Beginning in 2022, we invested in higher-than-average capital expenditures to support our strategies of “First-to-Fiber” and “Glass & Steel™” in our businesses. In 2025,2024, we intend to returnreturned to more normalized investment levels. However, our ability to support multiple organic and inorganic growth opportunities across our businesses may be limited by our liquidity resources and require significant oversight from our senior management. Major business initiatives are underway, focusing on improving mobile and other enterprise sales across all markets, digitizing internal processes to enhance response times to customer requirements, modernizing and centralizing existing processes in select markets, and improving operational execution of certain US Telecom businesses. Execution on multiple simultaneous and transformational initiatives requires in-depth management attention in multiple jurisdictions to capitalize on economic growth in Guyana, capture additional operational efficiencies, and develop and grow enterprise revenue streams in our US Telecom segment.
To support multiple simultaneous growth opportunities, we may need to incur additional debt or raise additional capital or incur additional debt to fund our future operations or investment opportunities. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to secure additional funding from public or private offerings on terms acceptable to us, if at all. As we exit our planned period of capital investments in various infrastructure projects, particularly upgrading and expanding our fiber network in Guyana, the success of those investments is largely dependent on the business being able to maintain and expand its customer base. We also face execution risk with respect to our planned margin expansion,expansion targets, which reliesrely on reducing operating expenses without compromising service quality or losing revenues. Whether due to increased competition, ineffective sales activityactivity, or other market forces, we may fail to achieve our sales targets and cost reduction goals on our upgraded networks.
Our industry faces rapid and significant changes in technology that may directly impact our business, including the introduction of new telecom delivery platforms. For example, Starlink began offering direct-to-consumer productsproducts, which in some locations inwithin our markets is a direct competitive alternative to our new fiber offerings in certain locations, such as in Alaska and Guyana.offerings. Given the high capital investments that we have already made in the new fiber offerings, this competition may have an adverse impact on our anticipated return on investment.
For us to keep pace with these technological changes and advancements and remain competitive, at a minimum we must continue to make capital expenditures to add to our networks’ capacity, coverage and technical capability. We cannot predict the effect of technological changes and advancements on our business. Alternative or new technologies, including artificial intelligenceAI technologies, may be developed that provide communications services superior to those available from us, which may adversely affect our business. Our use of AI technology is governed by various internal policies to maintain the security of our assets and information resources, which include limited approved use cases (such as summarization, research, transcription) and processes for approving new uses. Failure to provide these services or to upgrade to new technologies on a timely basis and at an acceptable cost, or to secure any necessary regulatory approvals to roll out such new technologies on a timely basis, all could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete with carriers in our markets and may expose us to additional risks. For example, failure to implement the righteffective artificial intelligenceAI technologies could lead to poor customer experience or brand damage. Any problems with our implementation or use of artificial intelligenceAI or other technological advancements could also negatively impact our business or results of our operations.
We are subject to US federal, state, and local regulations and foreign government regulations, all of which are subject to change, including as a result of the new administration in the US.change. As new laws and regulations are issuedenacted, amended, or discontinued,abolished, we may be required to materially modify our business plans or operations. We cannot be certain that we can do so in a cost-effective or timely manner. The interpretation and implementation of the various provisions of the Communications Act and the FCC rules implementing the Communications Act continue to be heavily debated and may have a material adverse effect on our business.
FCC regulatory activity has increased since 2023, particularly in connection with broadband. We cannot predict how increased regulatory activity at the FCC will impact our businesses.
Our international operations are subject to similar regulations, the interpretation and implementation of which are also often debated, and which may have a material adverse effect on our business. For instance, in 2020,2025, the Government of GuyanaBermuda formallyundertook implementeda telecommunicationsmarket legislationreview that introducespurports to introduce material changesrestrictions toon manyour featurespricing and delivery of Guyana’sservices existingin telecommunications regulatory regimeBermuda that impactwe ourcurrently operations,have administrativeunder reporting and services.appeal. There can be no assurance that these regulations will be effectively or uniformly administered, and Guyana remains a high-risk environment due to economic, political, and judicial uncertainty.
Our interpretations of our obligations in the United States and our international jurisdictions may differ from those of regulatory authorities. Both federal and state regulators, as well as international regulators, require us to pay various fees and assessments, file periodic reports and comply with various rules regarding our consumer marketing practices and the contents of our bills, on an on-going basis. If we fail to comply with these requirements, we may be subject to fines or potentially be asked to show cause as to why our licenses to provide service should not be revoked.
In the United States,US, wireless licenses generally are valid for 10ten years from the effective date of the license and generally may be renewed for additional 10-yearten-year periods by filing renewal applications with the FCC. While to date we have successfully renewed our licenses in the ordinary course of operations, failure to file for renewal of these licenses or failure to meet any licensing requirements could lead to a denial of the renewal application and thus adversely affect our ability to continue to provide service in that license area.
In our international markets, telecommunications licenses are typically issued and regulated by the applicable telecommunications ministry. The application and renewal process for these licenses may be lengthy, require us to expend substantial renewal fees, and/or be subject to regulatory or legislative uncertainty, such as we are experiencing in Guyana, as described above. For example, OneGY’s current operating license for Guyana was issued in October 2020 and is scheduled to expire in October 2030. On October 6, 2025, we formally notified the Government of Guyana of our intention to renew our operating license. As of the date of the Report, the request remains pending. Failure to comply with these regulatory requirements may have an adverse effect on our licenses or operations and could result in sanctions, fines or other penalties.
The tightening of access to and cost of capital could adversely impact our business.
Availability and cost of capital.
The tightening of access to capital markets (both debt and equity) and increasing costs of capital combined with a squeeze on operating cashflow generation capability due to inflationary pressures could decrease our capital funding below a desirable level. This could impact funding needed for future capital projects, or the speed that we are able to complete them, and/or limit our ability to grow through inorganic acquisition opportunities, which could have an adverse impact on our business.
Our operations and performance depend on worldwide economic conditions. These conditions have been adversely impacted by continued global economic concerns over inflation, supply chain disruptions, a potential recession, outbreak of war or ongoing conflicts, uncertainty with respect to tariffs and trade relations, and other monetary and financial uncertainties. Continued inflation may adversely affect our liquidity, business, financial condition and results of operations by increasing our overall cost structure. The existence of inflation in the economy has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher interest rates and capital costs, supply shortages, increased costs of labor, components, manufacturing and shipping, as well as weakening exchange rates and other similar effects. Increased interest rates and additional debt have resulted in increased interest expenses.
As our debt levels have increased over the last three years to fund our higher-than-normal capital expenditures, the higher debt levels coupled with higher interest rates has increased our interest expense burden and negatively impacted our earnings, cash flow and financial condition.
Our four largest markets all have some unionized labor pools. Alaska Communications presents a particular operating challenge that differs from those that we have in other markets given the remote location of operations and the extent of the unionized workforce. Labor costs are a significant component of Alaska Communications’ expenses and, as of December 31, 2024,2025, approximately 59% of its workforce is represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (“IBEW”). The collective bargaining agreement (“CBA”) between Alaska Communications and the IBEW, which was extended through mid-2025,December 31, 2027, governs the terms and conditions of employment for all IBEW represented employees working for Alaska Communications and has significant economic impacts on it as the CBA relates to wage and benefit costs and work rules. We believe Alaska Communications’ labor costs are higher than our competitors who employ a non-unionized workforce. In addition, Alaska Communications may make strategic and operational decisions that require the consent of the IBEW. In all of our markets, the local union may not provide consent when needed to execute upon strategic new initiatives or cost saving measures, it may require additional wages, benefits or that other consideration be paid in return for its consent, or it may call for a work stoppage against our operating companies. Any deterioration in the relationship with our local unions could have a negative impact on our operations and on our ability to achieve our plans for growth.
Alaska Communications is required by the CBA to contribute to the Alaska Electrical Trust Funds (“AEPF”) for benefit programs, including defined benefit pension plans and health benefit plans. Alaska Communications also maintains pension benefits for substantially all of its Alaska-based employees. The AEPF is a multi-employer pension plan to which Alaska Communications makes fixed, per employee, contributions through the CBA, which covers the IBEW represented workforce, and a special agreement, which covers most of its non-represented workforce. Because contribution requirements are fixed, Alaska Communications cannot easily adjust annual plan contributions to address its own financial circumstances. Currently, this plan is not fully funded, which means Alaska Communications may be subject to increased contribution obligations, penalties, and ultimately, it could incur a contingent withdrawal liability should it choose to withdraw from the AEPF for economic reasons. Alaska Communications’ contingent withdrawal liability is an amount based on its pro-rata share among AEPF participants of the value of the funding shortfall. This contingent liability becomes due and payable if Alaska Communications terminates its participation in the AEPF. Moreover, if another participant in the AEPF goes bankrupt, Alaska Communications would become liable for a pro-rata share of the bankrupt participant’s vested, but unpaid, liability for accrued benefits for that participant’s employees. This could result in a substantial unexpected contribution requirement and making such a contribution could have a material adverse effect on Alaska Communications’ cash position and other financial results. These sources of potential liability are difficult to predict.
As of the date of this Report, we believe we were in compliance with the requirements of the AEPF.
Although we believe that we are in compliance with the requirements of the AEPF, given the complexity of pension-related matters described above we may not, in every instance, be in full compliance with applicable requirements.

As of December 31, 2024,2025, we offered the following types of services to our customers:
Tower Portfolio Transaction
On February 11, 2026, through certain of our Commnet subsidiaries, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with EIP Holdings IV, LLC, an affiliate of Everest Infrastructure Partners, Inc. (“Everest”) to sell approximately 214 tower portfolio sites (representing the substantial majority of our Commnet tower portfolio and operations (the “Tower Portfolio”)) to Everest for up to $297 million in cash consideration, subject to certain adjustments and prorations as set for in the Transaction Agreement (the “Tower Portfolio Transaction”).
The Tower Portfolio Transaction may be completed in one or more closings with each closing being subject to certain conditions that must be satisfied prior to the conveyance of the tower sites at that closing. We will receive a portion of the cash consideration attributable to those sites that are transferred as a part of each closing. The initial closing is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2026.
At the initial closing, we will enter into, among other ancillary agreements, (i) the management agreement for certain sites, (ii) master lease agreements, pursuant to which we will lease the requisite ground, tower, or other space of the conveyed tower site for our continued use, and (iii) a preferred backhaul agreement whereby we will become the preferred backhaul provider with respect to the conveyed tower sites.
The Transaction Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities by each of the parties, and requires the receipt of certain consents and approvals prior to a closing. If the Transaction Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances that are not the fault of us or our subsidiaries, we will receive a termination fee equal to approximately $14.9 million.
In July 2019, we entered into a Network Build and Maintenance Agreement with AT&T Mobility, LLC (“AT&T”) that we subsequently amended through DecemberMarch 31, 20232025 (the “FirstNet Agreement”). In connection with the FirstNet Agreement, we are building a portion of AT&T’s network for the First Responder Network Authority (“FirstNet”) in or near our current operating areas in the western United States.US. Pursuant to the FirstNet Agreement and subject to certain limitations contained therein, all cell sites must be completed and accepted within a specified period of time. The FirstNet Transaction includes construction and service performance obligations. As of December 31, 2025, we had substantially completed the build of AT&T’s network for FirstNet. Since the inception of the project through December 31, 2024,2025, we have recorded $74$82 million in construction revenue and expect to record approximately $6$4 million in additional construction revenue and related costs as sites are completed. We expect to substantially complete the build by the end of 2025. Revenues from construction are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s operating income.
Following acceptance of a cell site, AT&T will own the cell sitesite, and we will assign to AT&T any third-party tower lease applicable to such cell site. If the cell site is located on a communications tower we own, AT&T will pay us pursuant to a separate lease agreement for an initial term of eight years. In addition to building the network, we will provide ongoing equipment and site maintenance and high-capacity transport to and from these cell sites for an initial term ending in 2031.
On May 10, 2023, we entered into a Carrier Managed Services Master Agreement (the “Verizon CMS Agreement”) with Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless (“Verizon”), pursuant to which we will provide a variety of network, infrastructure and technical services that will help deliver next generation wireless services to Verizon’s subscribers in our current operating areaareas in the southwestern United States.US.
Pursuant to the Verizon CMS Agreement and subject to certain limitations contained therein, we will upgrade our wireless service in specific areas and provide services to Verizon for an initial termrolling endingseven-year term, with renewals beginning in 2030.
Following acceptance of a cell site, we will continue to own the cell site. In addition to building the network, we will provide ongoing equipment and site maintenance and high-capacity transport to and from these cell sites for an initial term ending in 2030.
With respect to each of our FirstNet Agreement and Verizon agreements,CMS Agreement, our carrier partners will continue to use our wholesale domestic mobility network for roaming services at a fixed rate per site during the construction period until such time as the cell site is completed. Thereafter, revenue from the maintenance, leasing and transport services provided is expected to generally offset revenue from wholesale mobility roaming services.
In general, all telecommunications providers are obligated to contribute to the Universal Service Fund (“USF”), which is used to promote the availability of qualifying telecommunications and broadband service to low-income households, households located in rural and high-cost areas, and to schools, libraries, and rural health care providers. We contribute to the USF and also receive various forms of USF support. We are subject to audit by the Universal Service Administrative Company (“USAC”) with respect to our federal contributions and our receipts of universal service funding. To our knowledge, as of the date of this Report, we were in compliance with, in all material respects, applicable federal and state USF assessment and support requirements.
USF High-Cost Support. The Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC”) high-cost USF (or alternatives to former high-cost USF) mechanisms promote the deployment and operation of voice and broadband networks in areas where high costs would otherwise undermine the availability of service to consumers, including in rural, insular, and remote areas. High-cost support mechanisms generally include explicit conditions to deploy broadband to new locations and provide service meeting specified standards. We receive several forms of high-cost support, including but not limited to, as follows:
As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance in all material respects with requirements associated with such funding. If we fail to meet these obligations or require substantial additional capital expenditures to meet the obligations in a timely manner, our revenue, results of operations and liquidity may be materially adversely impacted.
We recognize revenue from several government funded programs including the USF, a subsidy program managed by the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), and state equivalents. For a discussion of the USF programs in which we participate, please refer to Part I - Item 1. Business – US Federal Regulation - Universal Service Support and Contributions.
We have also been awarded construction grants to build network connectivity for eligible communities. The funding of these grants, used to reimburse us for our construction costs, is generally distributed after we incur reimbursable costs. Completion deadlines began in 2024 and onceOnce these projects are constructed, we are obligated to provide service to the participants. We expect to meet all requirements associated with these grants. As of December 31, 2024,2025, we were awarded $150.2$98.8 million of construction grants.grants that are pending completion.
In addition, we partner with tribal governments to obtain grants under various government grant programs including, but not limited to, the Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program (“TBCP”) and the Rural Development Broadband ReConnect Program (“ReConnect”). These programs are administered by United StatesUS government agencies to deploy broadband connectivity in certain underserved areas. We were identified as a sub recipient of grants under these programs totaling $178.3$239 million as of December 31, 2024.2025. Through December 31, 2024,2025, we have received and spent $19.7$35.3 million of funding under these programs and spent $37.3 million on construction obligations. These amounts are recorded as operating cash flows in the Company’s statement of cash flows.
In July 2022, we were approved to participate in the Federal Communication Commission’s Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Reimbursement Program (the “Replace and Remove Program”),Program, designed to reimburse providers of advanced communications services for reasonable costs incurred in the required removal, replacement, and disposal of communications equipment and services in their networks that has been deemed to pose a national security risk. Pursuant to the Replace and Remove Program, our eligible subsidiaries were initially allocated up to approximately $207 million to replace, remove and securely destroy such communications equipment and services in our networks in the western United StatesUS and in the US Virgin Islands,Islands; however, in December 20242024, this program was fully funded for an increased allocation to the Company of an aggregate amount of approximately $517 million. The Replace and Remove Program requires each of our participating subsidiaries to complete the project no later than a specified deadline, which iswas currentlyextended into May 8, 2026. In March 2026, we requested a further extension through early November 2026, and the thirdFCC quarterhas ofnot 2025.yet acted on that request.
WeAs haveof December 31, 2025, we had incurred total expenditures of $168.4$233.7 million related to this project, of which $104.0$65.3 million were incurred in 2024.2025. Of these total expenditures, $140.9$194.9 million werewas classified as capital.
AtAs of December 31, 2024,2025, $25.0$16.7 million of capital expenditures werewas accrued and unpaid under the Replace and Remove Program. We expect to be reimbursed, within the next twelve months, for all amounts spent to date. During the year ended December 31, 2024,2025, we received $113.6$71.1 million of reimbursement under the program, of which $22.8$11.5 million was classified as operating cash inflows and $90.8$59.6 million was classified as investing cash inflows in our statement of cash flows.
A comparison of our segment results for the yearsyear ended December 31, 20242025 and 20232024 is as follows:
International Telecom. Revenues within our International Telecom segment increased $6.8 million, or 1.8%, to $377.5 million from $370.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily as a result of an increase in fixed revenues of $7.0 million, or 2.9%, to $246.2 million from $239.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This increase in fixed revenues was primarily the result of network upgrades and expansions, which led to an increase in the number of homes passed by high-speed data solutions that allowed us to migrate customers to more durable and higher revenue-generating fiber services. Partially offsetting the increase in Fixed revenues were decreases in both Mobility revenues, as a result of a decrease in prepaid subscribers, and Carrier Services revenues, primarily related to the amendment to certain carrier contracts.
Operating expenses within our International Telecom segment decreased by $15.6 million, or 4.9%, to $301.7 million from $317.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The net decrease was primarily the result of a $15.1 million increase in the gain on the dispositions of long-lived assets, primarily real estate, and certain cost savings initiatives, including reorganizations and reductions in force and contract terminations, that were implemented in the current and previous periods.
AsInternational aTelecom. result,For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenues within our International Telecom segment’s operating incomesegment increased $22.4$4.4 million, or 41.9%,1.2%, to $75.8$381.9 million from $53.4$377.5 million for the yearsyear ended December 31, 20242024, andprimarily 2023,as respectively.a result of an increase in revenue from ancillary services of $4.1 million.
US Telecom. Revenue within our US Telecom segment decreased by $39.9 million, or 10.2%, to $351.6 million from $391.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily as a result of a $21.4 million reduction in Fixed revenues which were negatively impacted by the conclusion of both the Emergency Connectivity Fund and the Affordable Care Program, both of which provided revenue through April 2024. In addition, the US Telecom segment’s Carrier Services revenue decreased by $8.6 million primarily as the result of the transition of legacy roaming arrangements to carrier service management contracts, construction revenue declined by $6.7 million as a result of a decrease in the number of sites completed during 2024 as compared to 2023 and Mobility revenue decreased $1.2 million within our retail operations due to a decrease in subscribers as we continue to put more emphasis on other revenue sources within this segment.
Operating expenses within our USInternational Telecom segment decreasedincreased $0.9by $13.2 million, or 0.2%,4.4%, to $396.1$314.9 million from $397.0$301.7 million for the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively,respectively. asOperating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 included a result$15.5 million gain on the disposition of long-lived assets, primarily real estate, which was partially offset by the impact of certain cost savings initiatives, including reorganizationthe reorganizations and reductions in force, that were implemented in the current and previous periods, and a $6.6 million decrease in the restructuring and reorganization expenses. Partially offsetting these decreases were the $35.3 million goodwill impairment charge that was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2024, as well as the $3.6 million increase in transaction-related expenses.periods.
As a result of the above,result, our USInternational Telecom segment’s operating lossincome increasedfor bythe $38.9year millionended December 31, 2025 decreased $8.8 million, or 11.6%, to a loss of $44.4$67.0 million from a loss of $5.5$75.8 million for the yearsyear ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.2024.
US Telecom. For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenue within our US Telecom segment decreased by $5.5 million, or 1.6%, to $346.1 million from $351.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily a result of a $4.1 million reduction in Fixed revenues, which were negatively impacted by the April 2024 conclusion of both the Emergency Connectivity Fund (“ECF”) and the Affordable Care Program (“ACP”), a $2.7 million decrease in Mobility revenue as a result of the conclusion of our provision of retail mobility services, and a $1.0 million decrease in Other Communications Services revenue. These decreases were partially offset by increases in Construction revenue of $0.9 million due to an increase in the number of sites completed during 2025 as compared to 2024, and Carrier Services revenue of $1.6 million.
Operating expenses within our US Telecom segment decreased $48.3 million, or 12.2%, to $347.8 million from $396.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 included a $35.3 million impairment of goodwill. The remaining decrease in operating expenses was attributable to the reduction in the direct costs of services associated with the revenue decline and the impact of certain cost savings initiatives, including the reorganizations and reductions in force, that were implemented in the current and previous periods.
As a result of the above, our US Telecom segment’s operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased to $1.7 million from $44.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.
A discussion and analysis of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 20232024 compared to 2022the year ended December 31, 2023 can be found under Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023,2024, filed with the SEC on March 15,17, 2024,2025, which is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and our Investor Relations website at https://.ir.atni.com under the “Financials and Filings” section.
Mobility Revenue. Our Mobility revenue consists of revenue generated within both our International Telecom and US Telecom segmentssegment by providing business and retail mobile voice and data services over our wireless networks as well as through the sale and repair services of related equipment, such as handsets and other accessories, to our subscribers. Wholesale Mobility revenue is recorded under Carrier Services Revenue.
Mobility revenue decreased by $2.5 million, or 2.2%, to $110.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 from $112.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Of this decrease, Mobility revenue from consumer customers decreased by $5.8 million while Mobility revenue from business customers increased by $3.3 million.
The decrease in Mobility revenue, within our segments, consisted of the following:
Mobility revenue within our International Telecom may decrease as a result of increased competition and regulatory changes partially offset by our continued network upgrades, marketing efforts and conversion of our current subscriber base to higher margin prepaid and postpaid plans.
We expect that Mobility revenue within our US Telecom segment will decrease as we no longer provide retail mobility services under our brand.
Fixed Revenue. Fixed revenue is primarily generated by broadband, voice, and video service revenues provided to retail and business customers over our wireline networks. Fixed revenue within our US Telecom segment also includes awards from the Connect America Fund Phase II program, the Enhanced Alternative Connect America Cost Model program, and the Alaska Universal Service Fund. In addition, and through early April 2024, Fixed revenue within the US Telecom segment also included revenue from the Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF) and Affordable Care Program (ACP). Within our International Telecom segment, Fixed revenue includes funding under the FCC’s High- Cost Program in the US Virgin Islands.
Fixed revenue decreased by $14.4 million, or 3.0%, to $458.4 million from $472.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Of this decrease, $0.6 million pertained to an increase in Fixed revenue from consumer customers while Fixed revenue from business customers declined by $15.0 million, respectively. The net decrease in Fixed revenue, within our segments, consisted of the following:
Fixed revenue within our International Telecom segment may continue to increase as we expect the popularity of video and audio streaming, the demand for cloud services and smart home, business and city solutions to increase the demand for broadband and other data services from consumers, businesses and governments. However, such increases may be offset by a decrease in demand for our legacy services due to subscribers using alternative methods to receive video and audio content.
Within our US Telecom segment, we expect Fixed revenue to decrease in the short term as a result of the impact of the expiration of the Emergency Connectivity Fund and Affordable Care Program. Over time, we expect these decreases to be partially offset by increases in other business revenue in Alaska and our western United States operations as we further deploy fiber and fiber-fed broadband with organic and government grants to access to both consumers and businesses.
Carrier Services Revenue. Carrier Services revenue is generated by both our International Telecom and US Telecom segments. Within our International Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue includes international long-distance services, roaming revenues generated by other carriers’ customers roaming into our retail markets, transport services and access services provided to other telecommunications carriers. Within our US Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue includes services provided under the FirstNet Agreement and Verizon Carrier Managed Services Agreement, wholesale roaming revenues, the provision of network switching services, tower lease revenue and other services provided to other carriers.
Carrier ServicesMobility revenue decreased by $9.6$2.4 million, or 6.7%,2.2%, to $133.3 million from $142.9$107.6 million for the yearsyear ended December 31, 20242025 andfrom 2023,$110.0 respectively.million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease,decrease in Mobility revenue, within our segments, consisted of the following:
Mobility revenue within our International Telecom may decrease as a result of increased competition and regulatory changes partially offset by our continued network upgrades, marketing efforts, and conversion of our subscriber base to higher margin prepaid and postpaid plans.
We do not expect to record Mobility revenue within our US Telecom segment in the future.
Fixed Revenue. Fixed revenue is primarily generated by broadband, voice, and video service revenues provided to retail and business customers over our wireline networks. Fixed revenue within our US Telecom segment also includes awards from the CAF II program, the E-ACAM program, and the Alaska USF. In addition, and through early April 2024, Fixed revenue within the US Telecom segment also included revenue from the ECF and ACP. Within our International Telecom segment, Fixed revenue includes funding under the FCC’s High-Cost Program in the US Virgin Islands.
Fixed revenue decreased by $4.5 million, or 1.0%, to $453.9 million from $458.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This decrease primarily pertained to a $7.4 million decrease in Fixed revenue from business customers, partially offset by a $2.9 million increase in revenue from consumer customers and consisted of the following:
Fixed revenue within our International Telecom segment may increase due to investments in the fixed network combined with the demand for cloud services and smart home, business and city solutions to increase the demand for broadband and other data services from consumers, businesses and governments. However, such increases may be offset by a decrease in demand for our legacy services, as subscribers opt for alternative methods to receive video and audio content.
Within our US Telecom segment, Fixed revenue from business customers in Alaska and our western US operations may increase as we further deploy fiber and fiber-fed broadband with capital investment and government grant funding, which will improve access for both consumers and businesses.
Carrier Services Revenue. Carrier Services revenue is generated by both our International Telecom and US Telecom segments. Within our International Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue includes international long-distance services, roaming revenues generated by other carriers’ customers roaming into our retail markets, transport services and access services provided to other telecommunications carriers. Within our US Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue includes services provided under the FirstNet Agreement and Verizon CMS Agreement, wholesale roaming revenues, the provision of network switching services, tower lease revenue and other services provided to other carriers.
Carrier Services revenue increased by $1.5 million, or 1.1%, to $134.8 million from $133.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase, within our segments, consisted of the following:
Within our International Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue may increase if international travel increases. Such increases, however, may be partially offset by a decrease within our international long-distance business in Guyana as consumers seek to use alternative technology services to place long-distance calls.
Within our USInternational Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue may decreaseincrease asif ainternational resulttravel ofin theour impactmarkets of recent carrier service management contracts.grows.
Within our US Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue is expected to decrease in line with the stated annual impact of $6 to $8 million depending on when the Tower Portfolio Transaction is consummated.
Other Communications Services Revenue. Other Communications Services revenue includesincreased miscellaneous services that the operations within our International Telecom segment provide to retail subscribers and project-related revenue generated within both our International and US Telecom segments. Other Communications Services revenue decreased $0.8$3.8 million, or 11.6%,62.3%, to $6.1$9.9 million from $6.9$6.1 million for the years ended December 31, 20242025 and 2023,2024, respectively, as a result of an increase in revenue from ancillary services in our International Telecom segment, partially offset by a $2.3 million reduction in certain non-recurring project-related revenue being recognized inwithin our US Telecom segment partially offset by an increase in such revenue in our International Telecom segment.

As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we offered the following services to our customers:
Through MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we identified two operating segments to manage and review our operations, as well as to support investor presentations of our results. These operating segments are as follows:
The following chart summarizes the operating activities of our principal subsidiaries, the segments in which we reported our revenue and the markets we served as of and for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026:
OnAs previously disclosed, on February 11, 2026, through certain Commnet subsidiaries, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with EIP Holdings IV, LLC, an affiliate of Everest Infrastructure Partners, Inc. (“Everest”), to sell approximately 214 tower portfolio sites (representing the substantial majority of our Commnet tower portfolio and operationsoperations, (the “Tower Portfolio”) to Everest (the “Tower Portfolio Transaction”) for up to $297 million in cash consideration, subject to certain adjustments and prorations (the “TowerAggregate Portfolio TransactionConsideration”).
On June 2, 2026 (the “Initial Closing Date”), we completed the initial closing of the Tower Portfolio Transaction (the “Initial Closing”), and we currently anticipate that we will complete the Tower Portfolio Transaction in one or more Subsequent Closings (as defined below) over the next eleven months. The Transaction Agreement sets forth certain conditions that must be satisfied prior to the conveyance of tower sites at a closing. In connection with the Initial Closing, we and Everest entered into an amendment to the Transaction Agreement to waive certain conditions to the Initial Closing and restate (i) the schedule of tower sites that were conveyed to Everest on the Initial Closing Date (the “Assigned Sites”), (ii) the list of tower sites that will be managed by Everest but still subject to certain managed site conditions prior to conveyance (the “Managed Sites”), and (iii) the list of tower sites that are still subject to certain managed site conditions and consideration has not been paid to date (the “Deferred Sites”). Everest will manage the Managed Sites until the conditions to their conveyance are satisfied, and such Managed Sites are transferred to Everest at one or more subsequent closings (each, a “Subsequent Closing”). At any Subsequent Closing at which one or more Deferred Sites are transferred, Everest will pay a portion of the Aggregate Consideration that is attributable to each Deferred Site. At the Initial Closing, we and Everest entered into, among other ancillary agreements, (i) the management agreement for the Managed Sites, (ii) master lease agreements, pursuant to which the Sale Site Subsidiary (as defined in the Transaction Agreement) will lease to the applicable Commnet Party the requisite ground, tower, or other space of the Assigned Sites (the “Leaseback”) for our continued use, and (iii) a preferred backhaul agreement whereby Commnet and/or one or more of our affiliates will become the preferred backhaul provider for Everest with respect to the Assigned Sites.
At the Initial Closing, Everest paid us $267.7 million in aggregate cash consideration (the “Initial Closing Cash Consideration”), of which $153.4 million is attributable to the Assigned Sites and $114.3 million is attributable to the Managed Sites. Of the Initial Closing Cash Consideration, $255.7 million was recorded as sale consideration and $12.0 million of such amount was deferred in advanced payments and deposits on our balance sheet as it is subject to our completion of certain conditions related to the Managed Sites. We can receive up to an additional $29.6 million of the Aggregate Consideration at Subsequent Closings for the Deferred Sites when and if closing conditions are satisfied or otherwise waived.
The Tower Portfolio Transaction may be completed in one or more closings. The Transaction Agreement sets forth certain conditions that must be satisfied prior to the conveyance of tower sites at a closing. During the period between signing and the initial closing, the parties will determine which tower sites within the Tower Portfolio have satisfied such conditions and are ready to be conveyed at the initial closing, which sites have not yet satisfied all such conditions but for which Everest is prepared to assume management pending satisfaction of such conditions, and which sites are not yet constructed or are subject to other conditions that will continue to be managed by us until such conditions are satisfied.
At the initial closing, we will enter into, among other ancillary agreements, (i) a management agreement for certain sites, (ii) master lease agreements, pursuant to which we will lease the requisite ground, tower, or other space of the conveyed tower site for our continued use, and (iii) a preferred backhaul agreement whereby we will become the preferred backhaul provider with respect to the conveyed tower sites.
The Transaction Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities by each of the parties, and requires the receipt of certain consents and approvals prior to a closing. The waiting period required under the Hart-Scott Rodino Act of 1976 with respect to the Tower Portfolio Transaction expired in early March 2026. If the Transaction Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances that are not our fault, we will receive a termination fee equal to approximately $14.9 million.
We continue to expect the initial closing of the Tower Portfolio Transaction to occur in the second quarter of 2026 generating gross proceeds of approximately $250 million to $270 million. Subsequent closings, totaling approximately $27 million to $47 million, are anticipated to occur over the twelve months following the initial closing, subject to the achievement of specified construction and operational milestones at designated sites within the Tower Portfolio.
We now currently anticipate that approximately 45-55% of the amount of proceeds to be received at the initial closing will be subject to post-closing resolution, due to delays in obtaining ground lease assigning consents from government and tribal agencies, as well as other conditions being satisfied with respect to such sites.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we were in compliance in all material respects with requirements associated with such funding. If we fail to meet these obligations or require substantial additional capital expenditures to meet the obligations in a timely manner, our revenue, results of operations and liquidity may be materially adversely impacted.
We have also been awarded construction grants to build network connectivity for eligible communities. The funding of these grants, used to reimburse us for our construction costs, is generally distributed after we incur reimbursable costs. Once these projects are constructed, we are obligated to provide service to the participants. We expect to meet all requirements associated with these grants. As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we were awarded $100.9 million of construction grants that are pending completion.
During the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we disbursed capital expenditures of $5.1$9.5 million under these programs and received reimbursement of $5.1$8.1 million. These cash flows are classified as investing activities in our statement of cash flows.
In addition, we partner with tribal governments to obtain grants under various government grant programs including, but not limited to, the Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program (“TBCP”) and the Rural Development Broadband ReConnect Program (“ReConnect”). These programs are administered by US government agencies to deploy broadband connectivity in certain underserved areas. We were identified as a sub recipient of grants under these programs totaling $239 million as of MarchJune 31,30, 2026. Through MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we received $37.7$41.8 million of funding under these programs and spent $40.4$45.0 million on construction obligations. These amounts are recorded as operating cash flows in the Company’s statement of cash flows.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we had incurred total expenditures of $233.1$240.0 million related to this project, of which $8.4$15.4 million were incurred in 2026. Of these total expenditures, $192.2$198.4 million was classified as capital.
As of MarchJune 31,30, 2026, $14.5$12.5 million of capital expenditures was accrued and unpaid under the Replace and Remove Program. During the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we received $9.3$15.9 million of reimbursement under the program, of which $1.1$1.6 million was classified as operating cash inflows and $8.2$14.3 million was classified as investing cash inflows in our statement of cash flows. During the threesix months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026, we determined that reimbursement was not probable for $9.0 million of capital expenditures incurred under the Replace and Remove Program. As a result, we transferred $7.0 million to assets held for sale and the remaining $2.0$9.0 million to fixed assets. Except for this $9.0 million, the Company expects to be reimbursed, within the next twelve months, for all amounts spent.
Through MarchJune 31,30, 2026, the Company had the following two reportable and operating segments: (i) International Telecom and (ii) US Telecom.
The following represents selected segment information for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):
(1) Corporate and other items refer to corporate overhead costs and consolidating adjustments and have been presented for reconciliation purposes to consolidated amounts.
A comparison of our segment results for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025 is as follows:
International Telecom. Revenues within our International Telecom segment increased $1.6$1.3 million, or 1.7%,1.4%, to $96.1$96.2 million from $94.5$94.9 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, primarily due to ana $1.6 million increase in revenues from ancillary services,services increasesand a $0.8 million increase in Mobility Services revenues as a result of an increase in subscribers, rates we charge our subscribers and increasesequipment revenue within certain markets in Carrierthis Services revenue as a result of increased roaming.segment. These increases were partially offset by a $1.2 million reduction in Fixed Services revenue receiveddue fromto a decline in the FCC’s High-Cost Support Program in the US Virgin Islands,Islands which was terminated on December 31, 2025.
Operating expenses within our International Telecom segment decreased by $2.9$4.4 million, or 3.6%,5.6%, to $76.8$74.3 million from $79.7$78.7 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The net decrease was primarily the result of certain cost savings initiatives, including reorganizations and reductions in force, that were implemented in the current and previous periods as well as a decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses as a result of a reduction in capital expenditures in recent periods.
As a result, our International Telecom segment’s operating income increased $4.4$5.7 million, or 29.7%,35.2%, to $19.2$21.9 million from $14.8$16.2 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Partially offsetting this increase was a decline in the construction revenue of $1.0$2.2 million as a result of a decrease in the number of sites completed in 2026 as compared to 2025.
Operating expenses within our US Telecom segment decreased $2.8$227.8 million, or 3.2%,million to $84.4$(135.9) million from $87.2$91.9 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, respectively,respectively. asThis decrease was primarily related to the $229.9 million gain recorded in connection with the Tower Portfolio Transaction, a resultreduction in the cost of construction revenue and the impact of certain cost savings initiatives, including the reorganizations and reductions in force, that were implemented in the current and previous periods. These decreases were partially offset by increases in this segment’s leasing costs, as a result of the impact of the Tower Portfolio Transactions, as well as an increase in transport costs.
As a result of the above, our US Telecom segment’s operating income (loss) increased to income of $1.7$224.2 million from a loss of $2.4$5.5 million for the three months ended MarchJune 31,30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

This net decrease primarily pertained to a decrease in Fixed Services revenue from businessconsumer customers and consisted of the following:
Fixed ServicesService revenueRevenue withinin our International Telecom segment may continue to increasedecrease as wea expectresult of a decrease in demand for our legacy services due to subscribers using alternative methods to receive video and audio content. However, such decrease may be offset by the popularity of video and audio streaming, the demand for cloud services and smart home, business and city solutions to increase the demand for broadband and other data services from consumers, businesses and governments.
