# American Tower: Business Model & Revenue Engine



## Direct Answer

American Tower reports revenue across 6 business segments in its fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. Property US and Canada is the largest, with $5.2 billion of revenue (49% of the total), followed by Property Latin America at $1.6 billion (15%).

## How Does American Tower Make Money?

No single line supplies a majority of revenue: the largest, Property US and Canada, is 49%, which spreads American Tower's exposure across several demand drivers. Between fiscal 2024 and 2025, Services grew fastest (+75.3%) and Property Latin America slowest (-4.4%), so the revenue mix tilts toward Services while that gap lasts.

| Segment | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Property US and Canada | $5.2 billion | $5.4 billion | 49.3% | -3.5% |
| Property Latin America | $1.6 billion | $1.7 billion | 15.4% | -4.4% |
| Property Africa APAC | $1.4 billion | $1.2 billion | 13.4% | 17.8% |
| Property Data Centers | $1.1 billion | $925 million | 9.9% | 13.9% |
| Property Europe | $938 million | $835 million | 8.8% | 12.3% |
| Services | $340 million | $194 million | 3.2% | 75.3% |

## Which American Tower Segments Earn the Most?

| Segment | FY2025 segment operating income | Segment margin |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Property US and Canada | $4.2 billion | 80.3% |
| Property Latin America | $1.0 billion | 62.6% |
| Property Africa APAC | $900 million | 63.3% |
| Property Data Centers | $562 million | 53.4% |
| Property Europe | $524 million | 55.9% |
| Services | $138 million | 40.7% |

Segment operating income is the profit measure American Tower reports to its chief operating decision maker for each segment. It usually leaves out corporate costs that are not allocated to a segment, so the segments usually add up to more than consolidated operating income, and margins are comparable within American Tower more safely than against another company.

## What Does American Tower Sell?

American Tower also breaks revenue down by product and service line, which shows what customers pay for rather than how management organizes the business.

| Product or service | FY2025 revenue | FY2024 revenue | Share of revenue | Change |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Property Revenue | $10.3 billion | $9.9 billion | 96.8% | 3.7% |
| Service | $340 million | $194 million | 3.2% | 75.3% |

## What the Segment Figures Do Not Show

The rows above add up to 100% of American Tower's reported revenue for fiscal 2025; the difference is intersegment eliminations, corporate revenue or items the company reports outside its segments. Segment definitions are management's choice and change when a company reorganizes, in which case it restates prior years in the next filing, so a multi-year comparison should use the figures from a single filing. Revenue shows where sales come from, not where profit or cash is earned: a small segment can carry most of the margin.

## Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value American Tower reported in the segment note and revenue disclosures of its Form 10-K filed February 24, 2026 (accession 0001053507-26-000035), read from the SEC's Financial Statement Data Sets. The prior-year column is the comparative figure from that same filing, so it reflects any restatement for a change in segments. Category names are the company's own XBRL labels, lightly reformatted for reading.

Rows that only total other rows (for example a "Products" line beside the individual products) are left out so nothing is counted twice. This page is educational and describes reported history for fiscal 2025; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
