About us Where we work Solutions Partners Sustainability LSE: 170 GBp Media Investors Suppliers Contact us Careers ABOUT US Overview ABOUT US Overview Strategy Business model Why Africa? Our values and approach Board of Directors Senior Management Governance History Diversity and inclusion What we do Our assets Our Customers Our people Helios Towers (HT) owns and operates telecommunications towers and passive infrastructure in six high-growth African markets. What we do Our principal business lies in building, acquiring and operating telecommunications towers that are capable of accommodating and powering the needs of multiple tenants. These tenants are typically large MNOs and other telecommunications providers who in turn provide wireless voice and data services, primarily to end-consumers and businesses. We also offer comprehensive tower-related operational services, including site selection, site preparation, maintenance, security and power management. We provide space on our tower sites under a combination of master lease agreements (MLAs), which provide the commercial terms that govern the provision of tower space, and individual site agreements (ISAs), which act as an appendix to the relevant MLA and include site-specific information. We also enter into ground lease agreements with property owners to host our sites on their land. +18% YoY Tenancy growth in Q3 2021 +21% YoY Site growth in Q3 2021 +15% Colocation growth in Q3 2021 Find out more about our solutions Our assets Helios Towers is a leading independent telecoms tower company in Africa and Middle- East. We have a strong position in all our markets, and are the market leader and sole independent telecoms tower company in Tanzania, Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC"), Congo Brazzaville ("Congo B") and Senegal. 8,765 Sites 17,773 Tenants 2.03x Tenancy ratio Find out more about where we work Our customers Our core business is to provide mobile network operators (MNOs) with tower site space, power and related services for their active network equipment. As our markets have little or no fixed line voice or data infrastructure, the services we provide are essential for the development of communities. We promote sharing of infrastructure through colocating multiple MNOs on each tower site. This consolidation of assets not only delivers maximum cost benefits to our customers but also reduces the environmental impact for the local populations we serve. In addition, we construct new assets including ‘build-to-suit’ (BTS) towers, and localised small cell and in-building solutions. These are located in high-potential areas where our customers are looking to expand, due to the continued growth of mobile voice and data communications across our markets.

At the end of 2020, 39% of our staff had been trained in Orange or Black Belt Lean Six Sigma, which provides essential skills and techniques to eliminate waste and drive efficiencies. Once trained, we encourage our people to manage a new project across HT, reinforcing the Lean mindset while also improving business performance. We also understand the importance of supporting the continued development and career progression of our people, allowing them to grow and develop into leadership roles, equipped with the skills and capabilities to be the best they can be.
