Looking forward, we have conviction in a faster pace of tenancy ratio expansion than our prior medium-term guidance. As such, we have adjusted our strategic target of ‘22,000 towers by 2026’, which included meaningful inorganic site growth, to ‘2.2x tenancy ratio by 2026’, prioritising organic growth and returns expansion. Consequently, we expect FY 2024 to be our inflection year for free cash flow, and continue to grow thereafter. We have built a compelling and unique platform in some of the world’s fastest growing mobile markets and through our focus on customer service excellence, are well placed to capture the structural growth and deliver sustainable value for our stakeholders." - Tom Greenwood, Chief Executive Officer, Helios Towers plc #techafricanews #company #financialresults #fy2023 #mobile #market #sustainable #stakeholders #organicgrowth
