LITTLE ROCK, Ark., May 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Uniti Group Inc. (“Uniti” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: UNIT) today announced its results for the first quarter 2026.

Key highlights during the quarter on a pro forma basis included:

•Consolidated Fiber Revenue Grew 15% Year-over-Year in the First Quarter

•Fiber Infrastructure Fiber Revenue Grew 13%Year-over-Year in the First Quarter

•Kinetic Consumer Fiber Revenue Grew 26% Year-over-Year in the First Quarter

•Kinetic Consumer Fiber Gross Adds of ~39,000; Highest Ever on Record

•Fiber Infrastructure New Bookings Monthly Recurring Revenue of $1.6 Million

“2026 is off to a great start at Uniti, fueled by the continued strong demand from hyperscalers and the significant progress we have made to-date on our fiber-to-the-home build. We saw consolidated revenue and Adjusted EBITDA year-over-year growth during the first quarter for the first time as a combined company, which is a significant first step in our goal to achieve full year year-over-year growth by 2027. We also had another strong quarter of new bookings at Fiber Infrastructure, the third highest quarter on record. At Kinetic, we had our highest number of consumer fiber gross adds ever and fiber churn was the best quarter on record. We also had the highest number of new consumer fiber premises constructed in almost four years and we remain on track to pass 3.5 million homes with fiber by the end of 2029. Finally, our balance sheet is as strong as it has ever been and we expect to be opportunistically active in the capital markets this year, including potentially pursuing additional asset securitizations,” commented Kenny Gunderman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Uniti.
