SBA Communications Corporation is a leading independent owner and operator of wireless communications infrastructure, primarily cell towers. The company's core business is site leasing, where it leases space on its towers to wireless service providers and other customers. SBA has a significant presence in the United States and its territories, as well as in South America, Central America, Canada, South Africa, the Philippines, and Tanzania.
Total revenue increased to $1,318.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1,354.0 million for the same period in 2023. However, on a constant currency basis, total revenue only decreased by $30.6 million. Foreign currency translation had a significant impact.
Net income increased $11.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the prior year. This was primarily due to the change in estimated useful lives of our towers and certain related intangible assets, resulting in a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense.
Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the prior year period. This indicates that the core operational profitability of the company remains stable.
