Forward guidance
American Tower provided its full year 2023 outlook, with expectations for continued growth in property revenue, net income, and adjusted EBITDA. However, the outlook also reflects challenges such as foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and incremental reserves associated with Vodafone Idea Limited (VIL) in India.
Tailwinds

- Net income is expected to be between $1,900 million and $2,010 million.
- Net income attributable to AMT common stockholders is projected to be between $2,005 million and $2,115 million.
- Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be between $6,860 million and $6,970 million.
- Capital expenditures are projected to be between $1,650 million and $1,760 million, including discretionary capital projects for the construction of 3,450 to 4,550 communications sites globally.
Headwinds
- The outlook reflects estimated negative impacts of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations to property revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and AFFO attributable to AMT common stockholders of approximately $151 million, $64 million and $47 million, respectively.
- The outlook includes approximately $75 million of incremental reserves associated with VIL in India, with a corresponding negative impact to the financial measures.
- Consolidated AFFO, AFFO attributable to AMT common stockholders and AFFO attributable to AMT common stockholders per Share growth rates are also negatively impacted by increases associated with financing costs.
