ATN International, Inc. has set a 2026 adjusted EBITDA target of $190 million to $200 million [1].
This financial projection follows the planned sale of the company's telecom tower portfolio in the Southwest U.S. The move signals a shift toward leaner operations and a more aggressive capital allocation strategy to stabilize the company's long-term value.
ATN expects the sale of the tower assets to generate proceeds between $250 million and $270 million [1]. This liquidity is intended to provide the company with greater flexibility and resilience as it enters the 2026 fiscal year.
CEO and President Naji Khoury said the company is looking for ways to simplify its operational structure. "It's only been a few weeks since I joined and I see further opportunities to simplify the way we operate," Khoury said. He said the firm will remain focused on disciplined capital allocation and ensuring that investments are aligned with long-term value.
Management said the divestment of the Southwest U.S. portfolio is a key component of this transition. In an earnings call, ATN management said the pending sale positions the company to enter 2026 with a clear focus on core strategic objectives.
The company is prioritizing the alignment of its current investments with long-term value creation. This strategy involves moving away from the management of physical tower infrastructure in certain regions to focus on higher-yield strategic goals.
“ATN expects the sale of the tower assets to generate proceeds between $250 million and $270 million.”
By divesting its Southwest U.S. tower assets, ATN is pivoting from a heavy-infrastructure model toward a more liquid financial position. The target EBITDA for 2026 suggests the company believes it can maintain significant profitability even after removing these assets from its balance sheet, provided the capital is redeployed into more efficient, core strategic areas.
