Crown Castle removed two risk disclosures in 2026, including ESG litigation exposure and certification risks, while adding a new risk focused on IT systems and digital capabilities investments. The company modified its disclosure on tenant concentration risk and executive turnover, reflecting substantive changes to how these material risks are characterized. With 33 unchanged risks and only minor net changes, Crown Castle's overall risk profile remained relatively stable year-over-year.

If we do not continue to make appropriate investments in, and effectively implement and maintain, our information technology systems and digital capabilities, our business and operating results could be adversely affected.

Our business relies on information technology ("IT") systems to support key operational, commercial, and financial processes, including site and asset management, leasing and contract administration, billing and collections, construction and supply chain activities, regulatory compliance, and financial reporting. Our industry continues to experience increasing operational complexity and growing reliance on digital tools, automation, data analytics, and integrated systems, including the use of artificial intelligence. We continue to seek to drive organizational improvement through digital transformation initiatives and modernizing our legacy IT systems. If we do not invest in modernizing our IT systems or fail to effectively execute our digital transformation initiatives, we may experience operational inefficiencies, higher operating costs, reduced scalability, and limitations on our ability to respond to customer requirements or support deployment activity. In addition, reliance on legacy or fragmented systems may affect data accuracy, system reliability, and management’s ability to obtain timely and actionable information. Some of our IT and digital initiatives require significant investment, which can be complex and are subject to risks, including implementation delays, cost overruns, integration challenges, and disruption to ongoing operations. Even when successfully implemented, such systems may not deliver anticipated benefits or may require ongoing investment to remain effective as technologies, customer expectations, and industry practices evolve. If our competitors or customers adopt advanced digital capabilities more quickly than we do, we could be at a competitive disadvantage. Any failure to effectively invest in or execute our IT and digital initiatives could adversely affect our operational performance, financial results, and ability to execute our business strategy.
