Further supplementing our additions was the acquisition of an important tower portfolio, reflecting our agility for driving growth. This has underpinned our robust financial performance, including healthy cash flow generation. I am also pleased to see that our continued engagement with a major customer ensured recovery of its overdues this year.

We believe that the industry developments during the year have only strengthened the outlook for the Company and the sector. Given our inherent strengths and leadership position, we are confident of maintaining the momentum by capitalizing on customers’ network expansion and available strategic opportunities.”
