IHS Towers: Sub-Saharan Africa Delivers Robust Q2 Revenue Amidst Global Economic Headwinds
IHS Towers, a global leader in shared communications infrastructure, has announced its Q2 2025 financial results, revealing a strong performance from its Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) segment. While the African operations delivered standout revenue growth driven by organic expansion, the company’s overall financial health faced notable headwinds. Global challenges, including significant currency volatility and persistent margin pressures across its international operations, impacted the broader financial outlook despite the SSA segment’s resilience.
Sub-Saharan Africa’s Impressive Surge in Q2 2025
The Sub-Saharan Africa segment emerged as a significant driver, reporting a robust $127.8 million in revenue for Q2 2025. This marked an impressive 18.1% increase year-over-year, with a substantial 16.1% stemming from organic growth. This strong surge was primarily attributed to successful commercial activities, including new colocation agreements with mobile network operators (MNOs), strategic lease amendments, and the deployment of additional tower sites. Moreover, proactive measures such as power indexation and foreign exchange resets were instrumental in bolstering revenue and mitigating the adverse effects of currency fluctuations, particularly in dynamic markets like Nigeria. SSA continues to be IHS’s largest operational segment, underscoring the burgeoning demand for reliable mobile connectivity across the continent. With a vast addressable market of over 644 million people, IHS Towers is strategically positioned to capitalize on Africa’s accelerating digital inclusion trends as MNOs continue to expand and upgrade their 4G and 5G networks to meet growing consumer and business needs.
The Q2 2025 earnings report from IHS Towers paints a clear picture: Sub-Saharan Africa remains a cornerstone of its global operations, demonstrating impressive growth despite a challenging global economic environment. While the company contends with ongoing currency volatility and margin pressures impacting its broader portfolio, the strong organic revenue generation from SSA highlights the region’s critical contribution. IHS Towers is effectively leveraging the immense demand for mobile connectivity across Africa, solidifying its role in empowering the continent’s digital future and capitalizing on the expansion of next-generation networks.
