ATN International Inc. reported fourth‑quarter and full‑year 2025 results on March 4, 2026, showing consolidated revenue of $184.2 million for the quarter, a 2% increase from $180.5 million a year earlier, and full‑year revenue of $728.0 million, essentially flat against the $729.1 million reported in 2024.
Operating income rose to $15.7 million in Q4 and $28.4 million for the year, reversing the prior year’s $0.8 million operating loss. Adjusted EBITDA climbed to $50.0 million in Q4 and $190.0 million for the year, up 8% and 3% respectively from 2024 levels. The gains were driven by spectrum asset dispositions and disciplined cost containment in selling, general and administrative expenses, while a $5.3 million write‑down of an equity investment and an $8.9 million tax benefit offset each other in the quarter’s profitability picture.
Despite the operating gains, ATN posted a net loss of $3.3 million, or $0.32 per share, in Q4 2025, missing the consensus EPS estimate of $0.03. The loss was largely attributable to the equity investment write‑down and the one‑time tax benefit, which together eroded the earnings cushion that had supported a net income of $3.6 million, or $0.14 per share, in the same quarter of 2024.
For 2026, management guided for adjusted EBITDA of $190 million to $200 million, a range that reflects confidence in maintaining profitability after the pending sale of the U.S. tower portfolio, expected to generate up to $297 million in cash. Capital expenditures are projected at $105 million to $115 million, and the net debt ratio is expected to be 2.36× on December 31, 2025, down from 2.54× in 2024. The company also confirmed a quarterly dividend of $0.275 per share, payable on January 9, 2026.
CEO Brad Martin said, “Our fourth quarter performance capped a year of steady operational progress and strengthening financial performance at ATN.” He added, “Throughout 2025, we remained focused on strengthening our competitive position in our international markets by growing our mobility and high‑speed subscriber bases, while leveraging government‑funded and, to a lesser extent, internally allocated capital, to expand our US infrastructure.” Martin further noted, “At the same time, we optimized our operations to drive future margin improvement. As capital intensity has moderated following our peak organic investment cycle, we have generated increased cash flow from operations and strengthened our balance sheet. We are entering 2026 from a position of greater resilience and flexibility, supported by operational improvements and the pending sale of our US tower portfolio, with a clear focus on our strategic objectives.”
The results underscore a mixed outlook: revenue growth is modest, but operating income and adjusted EBITDA have improved, indicating stronger operational efficiency. The net loss and EPS miss highlight the impact of the equity write‑down, while the updated guidance signals management’s confidence in a stable earnings base and a focus on balance‑sheet strengthening through the tower sale and continued fiber expansion.
