HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE QUARTER

•Site rental revenues. Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings in the second quarter 2026 was $38 million, or 3.9% organic growth, excluding an unfavorable $49 million and $5 million impact from DISH Terminations and Sprint Cancellations, respectively. Organic growth increases to 4.2% if DISH revenues are excluded from prior year site rental billings, which compares to 3.7% in the second quarter 2025 on a comparable basis. Site rental revenues were negatively impacted by a $3 million decrease in amortization of prepaid rent and a $23 million decrease in straight-lined revenues, resulting in a decline in site rental revenues of $41 million, or 4.1% from second quarter 2025 to second quarter 2026. The following table outlines the components of Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings, excluding the impact of DISH and the Sprint Cancellations, and the respective percentage of prior period site rental billings, excluding prior year site rental billings to DISH.

•Net income (loss). Net income (loss) for the second quarter 2026 was $94 million compared to $291 million for the second quarter 2025.

•Adjusted EBITDA. Second quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA was $675 million compared to $705 million for the second quarter 2025. The decrease in the quarter was primarily a result of the lower contribution from site rental

revenues discussed above, partially offset by a decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding the impact of stock-based compensation expense.

•AFFO and AFFO per share. Second quarter 2026 AFFO was $488 million, or $1.13 per share, representing a 10% increase from second quarter 2025. The increase in the quarter was primarily a result of a decrease in interest expense and an increase in interest income resulting from the use of proceeds from the sale of our Fiber and Small Cell businesses.

•Capital expenditures. Capital expenditures from continuing operations during the second quarter were $59 million, composed of $52 million of discretionary capital expenditures and $7 million of sustaining capital expenditures. The $59 million of capital expenditures increased 48% compared to $40 million of capital expenditures during second quarter 2025, primarily driven by a $20 million increase in land capital expenditures.

•Common stock dividend. During the quarter, Crown Castle paid common stock dividends of approximately $460 million in the aggregate, or $1.0625 per common share, unchanged on a per share basis compared to the same period a year ago.

"In the second quarter we delivered solid results and closed the sale of our Fiber and Small Cell businesses for $8.4 billion of net proceeds," stated Sunit Patel, Crown Castle's Chief Financial Officer. "Consistent with our capital allocation framework and investment grade balance sheet, following the close of the sale transaction we completed $1 billion of share repurchases and repaid more than $7 billion of debt. We ended the second quarter with a strong balance sheet including 100% fixed rate debt, a weighted average debt maturity of approximately 7 years, and approximately $4.5 billion of availability under our revolving credit facility."

OUTLOOK

This Outlook section contains forward-looking statements, and actual results may differ materially. Information regarding potential risks which could cause actual results to differ from the forward-looking statements herein is set forth below and in Crown Castle's filings with the SEC.

The following table sets forth Crown Castle's current full year 2026 Outlook, which includes the following key changes from the previous Outlook issued on May 1, 2026:

•A $20 million decrease in services and other gross margin.

Non-GAAP Measures and Other Information

This press release includes presentations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO"), including per share amounts, Funds from Operations ("FFO"), including per share amounts, Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings (including as Adjusted for Impact of Sprint Cancellations and DISH Terminations), and Net Debt, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended as alternative measures of operating results or cash flow from operations (as determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP")).

Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including other companies in the towers sector or other real estate investment trusts ("REITs").

In addition to the non-GAAP financial measures used herein, we also provide the components of certain GAAP measures, such as site rental revenues and capital expenditures.

Our non-GAAP financial measures are presented as additional information because management believes these measures are useful indicators of the financial performance of our business. Among other things, management believes that:

•Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors or other interested parties in evaluating our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure frequently used by management (1) to evaluate the economic productivity of our operations and (2) for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, our operations. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA helps investors or other interested parties meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations (1) from period to period and (2) to our competitors, by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest charges from our outstanding debt) and asset base (primarily depreciation, amortization and accretion) from our financial results. Management also believes Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors or other interested parties in the evaluation of the towers sector and other REITs to measure financial performance without regard to items such as depreciation, amortization and accretion, which can vary depending upon accounting methods and the book value of assets. Adjusted EBITDA should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.

•AFFO, including per share amounts, is useful to investors or other interested parties in evaluating our financial performance. Management believes that AFFO helps investors or other interested parties meaningfully evaluate our financial performance as it includes (1) the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense on our outstanding debt and dividends on our preferred stock (in periods where applicable)) and (2) sustaining capital expenditures, and excludes the impact of our (1) asset base (primarily depreciation, amortization and accretion) and (2) certain non-cash items, including straight-lined revenues and expenses related to fixed escalations and rent free periods. GAAP requires rental revenues and expenses related to leases that contain specified rental increases over the life of the lease to be recognized evenly over the life of the lease. In accordance with GAAP, if payment terms call for fixed escalations or rent free periods, the (1) revenues are recognized on a straight-lined basis over the fixed, non-cancelable term of the tenant contract, and (2) expenses are recognized on a straight-lined basis over the estimated lease term including renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised. Management notes that Crown Castle uses AFFO only as a performance measure. AFFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operations or as residual cash flow available for discretionary investment.

•FFO, including per share amounts, is useful to investors or other interested parties in evaluating our financial performance. Management believes that FFO may be used by investors or other interested parties as a basis to compare our financial performance with that of other REITs. FFO helps investors or other interested parties meaningfully evaluate financial performance by excluding the impact of our asset base (primarily real estate depreciation, amortization and accretion). FFO is not a key performance indicator used by Crown Castle. FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operations.

•Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings (also referred to as organic growth) is useful to investors or other interested parties in understanding the components of the year-over-year changes in our site rental revenues computed in accordance with GAAP. Management uses Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings to assess year-over-year growth rates for our rental activities, to evaluate current performance, to capture trends in rental rates, core leasing activities and tenant non-renewals in our core business, as well as to forecast future results. Separately, we are also disclosing Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings as Adjusted for Sprint Cancellations and DISH Terminations, which is outside of ordinary course, to provide further insight into our results of operations and underlying trends. Management believes that identifying the impact of Sprint Cancellations and DISH Terminations provides increased transparency and comparability across periods. Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings (including as Adjusted for Impact of Sprint Cancellations and DISH Terminations) is not meant as an alternative measure of revenue and should be considered only as a supplement in understanding and assessing the performance of our site rental revenues computed in accordance with GAAP.

•Net Debt is useful to investors or other interested parties in evaluating our overall debt position and future debt capacity. Management uses Net Debt in assessing our leverage. Net Debt is not meant as an alternative measure of debt and should be considered only as a supplement in understanding and assessing our leverage.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus restructuring charges (credits), asset write-down charges, goodwill impairment charges, acquisition and integration costs, depreciation, amortization and accretion, amortization of prepaid lease purchase price adjustments, interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs, net, (gains) losses on retirement of long-term obligations, net (gain) loss on interest rate swaps, (gains) losses on foreign currency swaps, impairment of available-for-sale securities, interest income, other (income) expense, (benefit) provision for income taxes, (income) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and stock-based compensation expense, net.

AFFO. We define AFFO as FFO before straight-lined revenues, straight-lined expenses, stock-based compensation expense, net, non-cash portion of tax provision, non-real estate related depreciation, amortization and accretion, amortization of non-cash interest expense, other (income) expense, (gains) losses on retirement of long-term obligations, net (gain) loss on interest rate swaps, (gains) losses on foreign currency swaps, impairment of available-for-sale securities, acquisition and integration costs, restructuring charges (credits), cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle and adjustments for noncontrolling interests, less sustaining capital expenditures.

AFFO per share. We define AFFO per share as AFFO divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.

FFO. We define FFO as net income (loss) plus real estate related depreciation, amortization and accretion, asset write-down charges, goodwill impairment charges, and (income) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, less noncontrolling interest and cash paid for preferred stock dividends (in periods where applicable), and is a measure of funds from operations attributable to common stockholders.

FFO per share. We define FFO per share as FFO divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.

Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings. We define Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings (also referred to as organic growth) as the sum of the change in site rental revenues related to core leasing activity, escalators and other billings, including those associated with DISH Terminations, less non-renewals of tenant contracts, including those associated with Sprint Cancellations, and DISH Terminations. Additionally, Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings as Adjusted for Impact of Sprint Cancellations and DISH Terminations reflects Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings plus non-renewals associated with Sprint Cancellations, less Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings associated with DISH Terminations.

Net Debt. We define Net Debt as (1) debt and other long-term obligations and (2) current maturities of debt and other obligations, excluding unamortized adjustments, net, less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents.

Core leasing activity. We define core leasing activity as site rental revenues growth from tenant additions and renewals or extensions of tenant contracts, exclusive of (1) the impacts from both straight-lined revenues and amortization of prepaid rent in accordance with GAAP, (2) other revenues and (3) amounts related to DISH Terminations, where applicable.

Other billings. We define other billings as the growth or reduction in site rental revenues as a result of non-recurring contractual billings and adjustments, expense recoveries, sales credits and other amounts not captured in core leasing activity, exclusive of amounts related to DISH Terminations, where applicable.

Non-renewals. We define non-renewals of tenant contracts as the reduction in site rental revenues as a result of tenant churn, terminations and, in limited circumstances, reductions of existing lease rates, exclusive of non-renewals associated with Sprint Cancellations and DISH Terminations, where applicable.

Discretionary capital expenditures. We define discretionary capital expenditures relating to continuing operations as those made with respect to activities which we believe exhibit sufficient potential to enhance long-term stockholder value. Discretionary capital expenditures, including with respect to discontinued operations, primarily consist of expansion or development of our communications infrastructure (including capital expenditures related to (1) enhancing communications infrastructure in order to add new tenants for the first time or support subsequent tenant equipment augmentations or (2) modifying the structure of a communications infrastructure asset to accommodate additional tenants) and construction of new communications infrastructure. Discretionary capital expenditures also include purchases of land interests (which primarily relates to land assets under towers as we seek to manage our interests in the land beneath our towers), certain technology-related investments necessary to support and scale future customer demand for our communications infrastructure, and other capital projects.

Sustaining capital expenditures. We define sustaining capital expenditures as those capital expenditures (including with respect to discontinued operations) not otherwise categorized as discretionary capital expenditures, such as (1) maintenance capital expenditures on our communications infrastructure assets that enable our tenants' ongoing quiet enjoyment of the communications infrastructure and (2) ordinary corporate capital expenditures.

Sprint Cancellations. We define Sprint Cancellations as lease cancellations related to the previously disclosed T-Mobile US, Inc. and Sprint network consolidation as described in our press release dated April 19, 2023.

DISH Terminations. We define DISH Terminations as the impact of lease terminations related to the previously disclosed notice of default and termination that was sent to DISH Wireless L.L.C. ("DISH") regarding our Master Lease Agreement and related agreements as described in our press release dated January 12, 2026.

Fiber Business. We define Fiber Business as the historically reported Fiber segment, prior to its reclassification to discontinued operations, together with certain supporting assets and personnel. Management signed a definitive agreement ("Agreement") to sell the Fiber Business with EQT Active Core Infrastructure fund ("EQT") acquiring the small cells business and Zayo Group Holdings Inc. ("Zayo") acquiring the fiber solutions business ("Transaction"). The Transaction was completed on May 1, 2026. We received aggregate net cash proceeds of $8.4 billion, representing the gross contractual purchase price of $8.5 billion less the net impact of preliminary purchase price adjustments of $124 million, which are subject to a post-closing settlement process.

COMPANY PROFILE

Crown Castle Inc. (to which the terms "Crown Castle," "CCI," "we," "our," "the Company" or "us" as used herein refer) owns, operates and leases approximately 40,000 towers and other structures, such as rooftops (collectively, "towers") that are geographically dispersed throughout the U.S. We refer to our customers on our towers as "tenants." We provide access, including space or capacity, to our towers via long-term contracts in various forms, including lease, license, sublease and service agreements (collectively, "tenant contracts").

Our towers have a significant presence in each of the top 100 basic trading areas, including most U.S. markets. We seek to increase our site rental revenues by adding more tenants to our existing towers, which we expect to result in significant incremental cash flows due to our low incremental operating costs.

On May 1, 2026, the Company completed the sale of its small cells and fiber solutions businesses, together with certain supporting assets and personnel ("Fiber Business"). We received aggregate net cash proceeds of $8.4 billion, representing the gross contractual purchase price of $8.5 billion less the net impact of preliminary purchase price adjustments of $124 million, which are subject to a post-closing settlement process.

The results and net assets of the Fiber Business are presented within the financial statements as discontinued operations through April 30, 2026. Following the classification of the Fiber Business as discontinued operations, the Company has one reportable segment that constitutes consolidated results consisting of its towers operations. Unless otherwise noted and other than net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share, all activities and amounts reported below relate to the continuing operations of the Company and exclude activities and amounts related to discontinued operations.

We operate as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

STRATEGY

As a leading provider of towers in the U.S., our strategy is to create long-term stockholder value via a combination of (1) growing cash flows generated from our existing portfolio of towers, (2) returning a meaningful portion of our cash generated by operating activities to our common stockholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases and (3) investing capital efficiently to grow cash flows. Our strategy is based, in part, on our belief that the U.S. is the most attractive market in the world for towers. We measure our efforts to create "long-term stockholder value" by the combined payments of dividends to stockholders and growth in our per-share results. The key elements of our strategy are to:

•Grow cash flows from our existing towers. We are focused on maximizing the recurring site rental cash flows generated from providing our tenants with long-term access to our towers, which we believe is the core driver of value for our stockholders. Tenant additions or modifications of existing tenant equipment (collectively, "tenant additions") enable our tenants to expand coverage and capacity in order to meet increasing demand for data while generating high incremental returns for our business. We believe our towers provide an efficient and cost-effective solution for our wireless tenants' growing networks that provides an opportunity to generate cash flows and increase stockholder return.

•Return cash generated by operating activities to stockholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases. We believe that distributing a meaningful portion of our cash generated by operating activities appropriately provides stockholders with increased certainty for a portion of expected long-term stockholder value while still allowing us to retain sufficient flexibility to invest in our business and deliver growth. We believe this decision reflects the translation of the high-quality, long-term contractual cash flows of our business into stable capital returns to stockholders.

•Invest capital efficiently to grow cash flows. In addition to adding tenants to our existing towers, we seek to invest our available capital, including the net cash generated by our operating activities and external financing sources, in a manner that will increase long-term stockholder value. These investments include acquisition of land interests, making improvements and structural enhancements to our existing towers, and constructing and acquiring new towers that we expect will generate future cash flow growth and attractive long-term returns by adding tenants to those assets over time.

Our strategy to create long-term stockholder value is based on our belief that there will be considerable future demand for our towers based on the location of our assets and the rapid and continuing growth in the demand for data. We believe that such demand for our towers will continue, will result in growth of our cash flows due to tenant additions on our existing towers, and will create other growth opportunities for us, such as demand for newly constructed or acquired towers, as described above. Further, we seek to augment the long-term value creation associated with growing our recurring site rental cash flows by offering certain ancillary site development services.

(a)In addition, we have the following sources of liquidity:

i.In March 2024, we established an at-the-market stock offering program ("ATM Program") through which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $750 million to or through sales agents. No shares of common stock have been sold under the ATM Program.

ii.In April 2019, we established a CP Program through which we may issue short term, unsecured CP Notes. Amounts available under the CP Program may be issued, repaid and re-issued from time to time, with the aggregate principal amount of CP Notes outstanding under the CP Program at any time not to exceed $2.0 billion. As of June 30, 2026, there were no CP Notes outstanding under our CP Program. We intend to maintain available commitments under our 2026 Revolver in an amount at least equal to the amount of CP Notes outstanding at any point in time.

(b)Inclusive of $5 million included within "Other assets, net" on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.

(c)Availability at any point in time is subject to reaffirmation of the representations and warranties in, and there being no default under, the credit agreement governing our 2026 Revolver.

(d)See "Non-GAAP Measures and Other Information" for further information on, and reconciliation to, Net Debt.

(e)As defined in the respective debt agreement. In the indentures for the Tower Revenue Notes, Series 2018-2 and the 2009 Securitized Notes, the defined term for Debt Service Coverage Ratio is "DSCR." Total Net Leverage Ratio, Total Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and all DSCR ratios are calculated using the trailing twelve months.

(f)Failure to comply with the financial maintenance covenants would, absent a waiver, result in an event of default under the credit agreement governing our 2026 Credit Facility.

(g)The Tower Revenue Notes, Series 2018-2 and 2009 Securitized Notes also include the potential for amortization events, which could result in applying current and future cash flow to the prepayment of debt with applicable prepayment consideration. An amortization event occurs when the Debt Service Coverage Ratio falls below 1.45x or 1.15x, in each case as described under the indentures for the Tower Revenue Notes, Series 2018-2 or 2009 Securitized Notes, respectively.

(h)Rating Agency Confirmation (as defined in the respective debt agreement) is required.

NON-GAAP MEASURES AND OTHER INFORMATION

This Supplement includes presentations of Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO"), including per share amounts, Funds from Operations ("FFO"), including per share amounts, Organic Contribution to Site Rental Billings, (including as Adjusted for Impact of Sprint Cancellations and DISH Terminations), Adjusted Site Rental Gross Margin, Adjusted Services and Other Gross Margin, Net Debt, Net Debt to Last Quarter Annualized Adjusted EBITDA, Consolidated Return on Invested Capital, and Cash Yield on Invested Capital, which are non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended as alternative measures of operating results or cash flow from operations (as determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP")).

Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, including other companies in the towers sector or other REITs.

In addition, we provide the components of certain GAAP measures, such as site rental revenues and capital expenditures.

•Adjusted Site Rental Gross Margin and Adjusted Services and Other Gross Margin are useful to investors or other interested parties in evaluating our financial performance. These measures are used by our management (1) to evaluate the economic productivity of our business, (2) to identify underlying business trends that are impacting our performance, and (3) for purposes of making decisions about allocating resources to, and assessing the performance of, our business. We also believe it helps investors and other interested parties meaningfully evaluate and compare the results of our operations from period to period.

•Net Debt to Last Quarter Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors or other interested parties, specifically credit rating agencies, in analyzing our operating performance in the context of targeted financial leverage. Management uses Net Debt to Last Quarter Annualized Adjusted EBITDA in assessing our leverage. Net Debt to Last Quarter Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is not meant as an alternative to GAAP measures such as debt and net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP. Net Debt to Last Quarter Annualized Adjusted EBITDA should be considered only as a supplement in understanding and assessing our leverage.

•Consolidated Return on Invested Capital and Cash Yield on Invested Capital are useful to investors or other interested parties in evaluating the financial performance of our assets. Management believes that these metrics are useful in assessing our efficiency at allocating capital to generate returns over time. Consolidated Return on Invested Capital and Cash Yield on Invested Capital are not meant as alternatives to GAAP measures such as revenues, operating income, and certain asset classes (such as property and equipment, site rental contracts and tenant relationships, and goodwill) computed in accordance with GAAP. Such non-GAAP metrics should be considered only as a supplement in understanding and assessing the performance of our assets.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

AFFO per share. We define AFFO per share as AFFO divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.

FFO per share. We define FFO per share as FFO divided by diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding.

Net Debt to Last Quarter Annualized Adjusted EBITDA. We define Net Debt to Last Quarter Annualized Adjusted EBITDA as Net Debt divided by the most recent quarter's Adjusted EBITDA multiplied by four.

Consolidated Invested Capital. We define Consolidated Invested Capital as the historical gross investment in (1) property and equipment (excluding the impact of construction in process and write-offs), (2) site rental contracts and tenant relationships and (3) goodwill (excluding impairment charges).

Consolidated Return on Invested Capital. We define Consolidated Return on Invested Capital as Adjusted EBITDA less cash taxes paid divided by Consolidated Invested Capital.

Net Invested Capital. We define Net Invested Capital as the investment in (1) property and equipment, excluding the impact of construction in process and non-productive assets (such as information technology assets and buildings) and write-offs, reduced by the amount of prepaid rent received from tenants, (2) site rental contracts and tenant relationships, and (3) goodwill, excluding the impact of certain assets and liabilities recorded in connection with acquisitions and impairment charges.

Cash Yield on Invested Capital. We define Cash Yield on Invested Capital as Adjusted Site Rental Gross Margin adjusted for the impacts of (1) amortization of prepaid rent, (2) straight-lined revenues, and (3) straight-lined expenses divided by Net Invested Capital.

Adjusted Site Rental Gross Margin. We define Adjusted Site Rental Gross Margin as site rental revenues less site rental costs of operations, excluding stock-based compensation expense, net and amortization of prepaid lease purchase price adjustments. This measure is exclusive of depreciation, amortization and accretion, which are shown separately.

Adjusted Services and Other Gross Margin. We define Adjusted Services and Other Gross Margin as services and other revenues less services and other costs of operations, excluding stock-based compensation expense, net.

Other Information

Fiber Business. We define Fiber Business as the historically reported Fiber segment, prior to its reclassification to discontinued operations, together with certain supporting assets and personnel. Management signed the Strategic Fiber Agreement to sell the Fiber Business with EQT Active Core Infrastructure fund ("EQT") acquiring the small cells business and Zayo Group Holdings Inc. ("Zayo") acquiring the fiber solutions business for $8.5 billion in aggregate, subject to certain closing adjustments ("Strategic Fiber Transaction"). The Strategic Fiber Transaction was completed on May 1, 2026. We received aggregate net cash proceeds of $8.4 billion, representing the gross contractual purchase price of $8.5 billion less the net impact of preliminary purchase price adjustments of $124 million, which are subject to a post-closing settlement process.
