another tower site closest to receiving device

Airlink (RAN) Fixed Line

+ Significant carrier investment in spectrum• Carrier aggregation resulting in the deployment

of multi-band antennas

+ New devices with improved form factor • Projected 4.5x growth in mobile data traffic by

2019

= Additional transmission equipment & locations

70-80% of incremental network traffic carried over the Airlink side of the mobile network will need to be supported through network equipment densification.

+ Network investments in recent technology improvements • Self-optimizing networks “SON”• Software defined networks “SDN”• Cloud RAN “C-RAN”

= Reducing future opex / capex costs across the mobile core

DefinitionsAdjusted EBITDA: Net income before income (loss) from equity method investments; Income tax benefit (provision); Other income (expense); Gain (loss) on retirement of long-term obligations; Interest expense; Interest income; Other operating income (expense); Depreciation, amortization and accretion; and Stock-based compensation expense.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin: the percentage that results from dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenue.

Adjusted Funds From Operations, or AFFO: NAREIT Funds From Operations before (i) straight-line revenue and expense, (ii) stock-based compensation expense, (iii) the non-cash portion of our tax provision, (iv) non-real estate related depreciation, amortization and accretion, (v) amortization of deferred financing costs, capitalized interest, debt discounts and premiums and long-term deferred interest charges, (vi) other income (expense), (vii) gain (loss) on retirement of long-term obligations, (viii) other operating income (expense), and adjustments for (ix) unconsolidated affiliates and (x) noncontrolling interest, less cash payments related to capital improvements and cash payments related to corporate capital expenditures.

AFFO per Share: Adjusted Funds From Operations divided by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

Churn: Revenue lost when a tenant cancels or does not renew its lease or, in limited circumstances, when the lease rates on existingleases are reduced.

Core Growth: (Property revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Gross Margin, Operating Profit and AFFO) the increase or decrease, expressed as a percentage, resulting from a comparison of financial results for a current period with corresponding financial results for the corresponding period in a prior year, in each case, excluding the impact of pass-through revenue (expense), straight-line revenue and expense recognition, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and material one-time items.

NAREIT Funds From Operations: Net income before gains or losses from the sale or disposal of real estate, real estate related impairment charges, real estate related depreciation, amortization and accretion and dividends on preferred stock, and including adjustments for (i) unconsolidated affiliates and (ii) noncontrolling interest.Net Leverage Ratio: Net debt (total debt, less cash and cash equivalents) divided by last quarter annualized Adjusted EBITDA.

NOI Yield: the percentage that results from dividing gross margin by total investment.

New Property Core Growth: (Property revenue) the increase or decrease, expressed as a percentage, on the properties the Company has added to its portfolio since the beginning of the prior period, in each case, excluding the impact of pass-through revenue (expense), straight-line revenue (expense), foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations and significant one-time items.

DefinitionsOrganic Core Growth: (Property revenue) the increase or decrease, expressed as a percentage, resulting from a comparison of financial results for a current period with corresponding financial results for the corresponding period in a prior year, in each case, excluding the impact of pass-through revenue (expense), straight-line revenue and expense recognition, foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, significant one-time items and revenue associated with new properties that the Company has added to the portfolio since the beginning of the prior period.

Segment Gross Margin: segment revenue less segment operating expenses, excluding stock-based compensation expense recorded in costs of operations; depreciation, amortization and accretion; selling, general, administrative and development expense; and other operating expenses. Latin America Property segment includes interest income, TV Azteca, net.

Segment Gross Margin Conversion Rate: the percentage that results from dividing the change in gross margin by the change in revenue.

Segment Operating Profit: Segment gross margin less segment selling, general, administrative and development expense attributable to the segment, excluding stock-based compensation expense and corporate expenses. Latin America Property segment includes interest income, TV Azteca, net.

Pass-through Revenues: In several of our international markets we pass through certain operating expenses to our tenants, including in Latin America where we primarily pass through ground rent expenses, and in India and South Africa, where we primarily pass through fuel costs. We record pass-through as revenue and a corresponding offsetting expense for these events.

Property revenue Run-Rate Organic Growth: the increase or decrease, expressed as a percentage, of Run-Rate Revenue resulting from property revenue growth as compared to the prior-year period, excluding growth attributable to day-one Run-Rate Revenue on new sites added after the beginning of the prior-year period. Excludes the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, significant one-time items, straight-line revenues and the impact of other non-Run Rate Revenue.

Return on Invested Capital: Adjusted EBITDA less improvement and corporate capital expenditures and cash taxes, divided by gross property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible assets.

Run-Rate Revenue: Primarily cash-based, recurring revenues, typically tied to long-term tenant lease agreements that in the absence of churn at the end of the contract term should continue in the future, excluding pass-through revenue.

Straight-line expenses: We calculate straight-line ground rent expense for our ground leases based on the fixed non-cancellable term of the underlyingground lease plus all periods, if any, for which failure to renew the lease imposes an economic penalty to us such that renewal appears, at the inception of the lease, to be reasonably assured. Certain of our tenant leases require us to exercise available renewal options pursuant to the underlying ground lease, if the tenant exercises its renewal option. For towers with these types of tenant leases at the inception of the ground lease, we calculate our straight-line ground rent over the term of the ground lease, including all renewal options required to fulfill the tenant lease obligation.

Straight-line revenues: We calculate straight-line rental revenues from our tenants based on the fixed escalation clauses present in non-cancellable lease agreements, excluding those tied to the Consumer Price Index or other inflation-based indices, and other incentives present in lease agreements with our tenants. We recognized revenues on a straight-line basis over the fixed, non-cancellable terms of the applicable leases.

Risk FactorsThis presentation contains “forward-looking statements” concerning our goals, beliefs, expectations, strategies, objectives, plans, future operating results and underlying assumptions, and other statements that are not necessarily based on historical facts.Examples of these statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our full year 2016 outlook, foreign currency exchange rates, our expectation regarding the leasing demand for communications real estate and the impact of recently closedacquisitions. Actual results may differ materially from those indicated in our forward-looking statements as a result of variousimportant factors, including: (1) decrease in demand for our communications sites would materially and adversely affect our operating results, and we cannot control that demand; (2) if our tenants share site infrastructure to a significant degree orconsolidate or merge, our growth, revenue and ability to generate positive cash flows could be materially and adversely affected; (3) increasing competition for tenants in the tower industry may materially and adversely affect our pricing; (4) competition for assets could adversely affect our ability to achieve our return on investment criteria; (5) our business is subject to government and tax regulations and changes in current or future laws or regulations could restrict our ability to operate our business as we currently do; (6) our leverage and debt service obligations may materially and adversely affect us, including our ability to raise additional financing to fund capital expenditures, future growth and expansion initiatives and to satisfy our distribution requirements; (7) our expansion initiatives involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including those related to integration of acquired or leased assets, that could adversely affect our operating results, disrupt our operations or expose us to additional risk; (8) our foreign operations are subject to economic, political and other risks that could materially and adversely affect our revenues or financial position, including risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; (9) new technologies or changes in a tenant’s business model could make our tower leasing business less desirable and result in decreasing revenues; (10) a substantial portion of our revenue is derived from a small number of tenants, and we are sensitive to changes in the creditworthiness and financial strength of our tenants; (11) if we fail to remain qualified for taxation as a REIT, we will be subject to tax at corporate income tax rates, which may substantially reduce funds otherwise available, and even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may face tax liabilities that impact earnings and available cash flow; (12) complying with REIT requirements may limit our flexibility or cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities; (13) if we are unable to protect our rights to the land under our towers, it could adversely affect our business and operating results; (14) if we are unable or choose not to exercise our rights to purchase towers that are subject to lease and sublease agreements at the end of the applicable period, our cash flows derived from such towers will be eliminated;

23

Risk Factors(continued)

(15) restrictive covenants in the agreements related to our securitization transactions, our credit facilities and our debt securities and the terms of our preferred stock could materially and adversely affect our business by limiting flexibility, and we may be prohibited from paying dividends on our common stock, which may jeopardize our qualification for taxation as a REIT; (16) ourcosts could increase and our revenues could decrease due to perceived health risks from radio emissions, especially if these perceived risks are substantiated; (17) we could have liability under environmental and occupational safety and health laws; and(18) our towers, data centers or computer systems may be affected by natural disasters and other unforeseen events for which our insurance may not provide adequate coverage. For additional information regarding factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in our forward-looking statements, we refer you to the information contained in Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, under the caption “Risk Factors”. We undertake no obligation to update the information contained in this presentation to reflect subsequently occurring events or circumstances.
