Financial Highlights of the Full Year of 2021:

The Company’s business performance is improving after business transformation initiatives over the past year that was supported by the long-term financings that the Company was able to achieve. During 2021 we saw organic growth in the revenue from its core businesses, being 2021 the year that the Company constructed the greatest amount of towers in its history, which was further improved by the development of a new revenue vertical, such us service for construction of towers and revenue corresponding to the sale of towers.

The Company recorded total revenue of CAD$10,687,626 in 2021, a year over year increase of 17.11%.

As we have secured and closed local currency financings, we have limited the cash flow´s impact of the currency devaluation that may happen on the countries that we operate.

Subsequent events:

On January 10, 2022, the Company issued 2,000,000 common shares in relation to PSUs that vested during the year ended December 31, 2021.

On January 18, 2022, the Company settled a debt in the amount of CAD$ 1,039,751 owed by TOW to a certain creditor in exchange for 16,273,267 common shares at a deemed price of $0.064.

Outlook:

Mr. Alejandro Ochoa, CEO of Tower One, said, “To enhance Tower One’s profitability we initiated a number of actions oriented to focus on our core business.

  • We secured our long-term financings based on 9.5 Years Credit Facilities for CAD$ 22.5MM (Single Digit Interest Rate) with local banks that will support our construction rollout.
  • Completed our most successful year with 204 towers in operation by the end of 2021 and forecast more than 200 new towers to be built during 2022.
  • Well positioned to transition through these high inflation periods with our existing lease agreements that all include inflation protection clauses attached to local CPI.
  • 2021 LQA TCF (last quarter annualized TCF) of CAD$ 1,924,248 with a target of 2022 LQA TCF of CAD$ 4,200,000.

Looking ahead to 2022 the addition of our Ecuador Operation will complement our portfolio with USD Denominated Rents. Germany/Canada are in advanced stages of review as we transition to markets home to Tower One (Canada) and also our experienced management team in the German Market.
