This annual report provides comprehensive details on Array Digital Infrastructure's significant strategic transformation in 2025, confirming the turnaround to profitability for the full year. The company successfully divested its wireless operations and select spectrum assets to T-Mobile for $4.3 billion, and further monetized spectrum with AT&T for $1.018 billion (closed Jan 2026) and Verizon for $1.0 billion (pending). These divestitures led to substantial debt reduction and enabled the declaration of two significant special dividends totaling $33.25 per share, with another expected from the Verizon sale. The company is now focused on its digital infrastructure (tower) business, reporting strong growth in site rental revenues. While a dispute with DISH Wireless regarding lease payments is noted, the overall financial and strategic repositioning is highly positive, establishing a new baseline for the company's future as a pure-play tower operator.
