Vantage Towers AG increases guidance for recurring free cash flow (RFCF) for the financial year ending 31 March 2022 (FY22)

The Board of Management of Vantage Towers AG ("Company") has concluded today to increase its guidance for recurring free cash flow (RFCF) for the financial year ending 31 March 2022 (FY22). 

Vantage Towers AG now expects the full year RFCF guidance for the financial year ending 31 March 2022 to be in the range of 405 million to 415 million EUR. The previous RFCF guidance included a range from 390 million to 400 million EUR. The current consensus of RFCF is 395.8 million EUR as published and described by the Company at https://www.vantagetowers.com/en/investors/analyst-coverage. This stronger than anticipated performance is mainly driven by a combination of optimising both borrowing costs and cash tax expenses. 

Vantage Towers AG expects to retain these benefits over the medium-term. The Company confirms its medium-term RFCF range at mid to high single digit compounded annual growth rate (CAGR).The remaining financial key performance metrics (KPIs) in the Company’s full-year guidance remain unchanged.

Vantage Towers AG will publish further details on the outlook and the earnings figures for the half-year of FY22 on 15 November 2021 at approximately 08:00 am CET.
