Recent Company History

Recent earnings for Uniti show growing scale and a major shift after the Windstream merger. Q4 2024 and Q1–Q3 2025 highlighted rising fiber revenue, strong Adjusted EBITDA and recurring bookings, alongside large one-time merger gains and sizable financings. The March 2026 Q4/FY 2025 release introduced the current 2026 guidance framework that today’s Q1 results reiterate and update at the business-unit level, framing this quarter as an early checkpoint on that multi‑year plan.

Key Terms

adjusted ebitda, contribution margin, capital expenditures, asset securitizations
4 terms
adjusted ebitda financial
"Consolidated Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of $987.5 Million and $441.6 Million"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
contribution margin financial
"Kinetic contributed $548.0 million of revenues and $235.5 million of contribution margin"
Contribution margin is the amount of money left from a product’s sale after paying the costs that rise with each unit sold (like materials or hourly labor); it can be shown per unit or as a percentage of the sale price. Investors care because it shows how much each sale contributes to covering fixed expenses and generating profit — think of each sale as a slice of pie where the contribution margin is the slice available to pay the rent and add to earnings.
capital expenditures financial
"Kinetic’s capital expenditures during the quarter were $251.9 million."
Capital expenditures are the money a company spends to buy or improve big assets like buildings, equipment, or machines that will last a long time. These investments matter because they help the company grow and operate more efficiently, similar to how upgrading a home’s appliances or adding a new room can make it better and more valuable.
asset securitizations financial
"potentially pursuing additional asset securitizations,” commented Kenny Gunderman"
Asset securitizations are transactions where a group of loans or other predictable income sources (like mortgages, car loans, or receivables) are bundled together and sold to investors as tradable securities. For investors, securitizations turn a stream of payments into buyable pieces—spreading and shifting credit and payment risk, creating liquidity, and offering yields tied to the quality of the underlying assets much like buying a slice of a loan portfolio.

Reiterates Full Year 2026 Outlook

  • Net Loss of $70.3 Million for the First Quarter
  • Consolidated Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of $987.5 Million and $441.6 Million, Respectively, for the First Quarter

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Uniti Group Inc. (“Uniti” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: UNIT) today announced its results for the first quarter 2026.

Key highlights during the quarter on a pro forma basis included:

  • Consolidated Fiber Revenue Grew 15% Year-over-Year in the First Quarter
  • Fiber Infrastructure Fiber Revenue Grew 13% Year-over-Year in the First Quarter
  • Kinetic Consumer Fiber Revenue Grew 26% Year-over-Year in the First Quarter
  • Kinetic Consumer Fiber Gross Adds of ~39,000; Highest Ever on Record
  • Fiber Infrastructure New Bookings Monthly Recurring Revenue of $1.6 Million

“2026 is off to a great start at Uniti, fueled by the continued strong demand from hyperscalers and the significant progress we have made to-date on our fiber-to-the-home build. We saw consolidated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA year-over-year growth during the first quarter for the first time as a combined company, which is a significant first step in our goal to achieve full year year-over-year growth by 2027. We also had another strong quarter of new bookings at Fiber Infrastructure, the third highest quarter on record. At Kinetic, we had our highest number of consumer fiber gross adds ever and fiber churn was the best quarter on record. We also had the highest number of new consumer fiber premises constructed in almost four years and we remain on track to pass 3.5 million homes with fiber by the end of 2029. Finally, our balance sheet is as strong as it has ever been and we expect to be opportunistically active in the capital markets this year, including potentially pursuing additional asset securitizations,” commented Kenny Gunderman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Uniti.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We refer to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in our analysis of our results of operations, which are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). While we believe that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure, we also believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of our operating performance.

We define “EBITDA” as net income, as defined by GAAP, before interest expense, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and costs incurred as a result of the early repayment of debt, including early tender and redemption premiums and the write off of unamortized deferred financing costs. We define “Adjusted EBITDA” as EBITDA before stock-based compensation expense and the impact, which may be recurring in nature, of incremental acquisition, pursuit, transaction and integration costs (including unsuccessful acquisition pursuit costs), and costs associated with litigation claims made against us, and costs associated with the implementation of our enterprise resource planning system, (collectively, “Transaction Related and Other Costs”), goodwill impairment charges, gains or losses on retirements and dispositions of assets, gain on settlement of preexisting relationships in connection with our merger with Windstream, severance costs, amortization of non-cash rights-of-use assets, costs associated with the termination of related hedging activities, changes in the fair value of financial instruments, and other similar or infrequent items (although we may not have had such charges in the periods presented). We believe EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important supplemental measures to net income because they provide additional information to evaluate our operating performance on an unleveraged basis. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is calculated similar to defined terms in our material debt agreements used to determine compliance with specific financial covenants. Since EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered as alternatives to net income determined in accordance with GAAP.

Further, our computations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.
