IHS Q1 2026: $415.4M continuing revenue, $77.0M profit as Nigeria and SSA grow

IHS Holding Limited reported Q1 2026 results with continuing revenue of $415.4 million, up 5.9% from $392.1 million, driven by growth in Nigeria (+5.0% to $285.0 million) and sub-Saharan Africa (+8.1% to $130.4 million). Operating income from continuing operations was $111.3 million versus $165.8 million a year ago, reflecting higher administrative expenses, while finance income rose sharply to $116.6 million. Income from continuing operations was $67.1 million versus $46.9 million, and discontinued Latin America operations contributed $9.9 million versus a $16.2 million loss prior year, lifting total profit to $77.0 million from $30.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA reached $268.7 million, up 6.4%. Basic EPS from continuing operations was $0.20 versus $0.14; total basic EPS was $0.23 versus $0.10. The tower infrastructure company continues to navigate currency volatility in Nigeria, pending strategic transactions with MTN Group and TIM, and portfolio simplification across markets.

  • Continuing revenue rose 5.9% to $415.4M; Nigeria $285.0M (+5.0%) and SSA $130.4M (+8.1%).
  • Total profit was $77.0M vs $30.7M; continuing operations earned $67.1M and Latam discontinued ops added $9.9M.
  • Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.4% to $268.7M from $252.6M.
  • Basic EPS from continuing operations was $0.20; total basic EPS $0.23 vs $0.10 prior year.
  • Finance income of $116.6M partially offset $110.7M in finance costs; income tax expense was $50.1M.
