Current Tower Portfolio Provides Room for Growth
HTN has been very successful in realising the operating leverage inherent in the tower business by leasing up the build-to-suit tower base
and more than triple the number of towers with three tenants and more
This was driven by the clear strategy of building only towers with a base tenant and focusing on locations that are attractive to
several GSM and CDMA players
Since the acquisition of the Multi-links towers, HTN has leased up roughly half of the portfolio with significant room for further growth
Any additional tenancy contributes directly to the bottom line, due to the very low maintenance capex requirement
(1) Defined as the number of rent generating devices per tower. (2) Based on audited financial statements. 2013 breakdown excludes Multi-Links revenues from 2012 recognised in 2013.
(3) Defined as the number of towers without a tenant. (4) Theoretical analysis excludes any impact of Multi-links since 2010.

Wireless Subscribers (m) Wireless Penetration # of Fixed Broadband HHs (000's) Fixed Broadband Penetration
Nigeria has the largest population and the largest subscriber market Low fixed broadband penetration driven by insufficient last-mile
with approximately 128m subscribers in Africa infrastructure and limited electricity supply
Sim card penetration level relatively low at 75% but still overstated Customers turn to mobile operators for data plans that are cheaper
due to common practice to own multiple sim cards per customer and offer more reliability and flexibility
Subscriber base has grown at 34% CAGR since 2004 to 127m Mobile operators are increasingly adding 3G base stations to 2G
subscribers in 2013 stations in urban areas to drive ARPU with data offerings
