Uniti Group Updates on Windstream Merger, Fiber Build, and Capital Strategy

UNIT

M&A

New Projects/Investments

Debt Issuance

Uniti Group has closed its merger with Windstream and is targeting $100 million of run rate annual synergies over the first three years, with integration focused on corporate functions while maintaining modularity for business segments.
The company plans to accelerate its fiber-to-the-home build to reach 3.5 million homes passed by 2029 (from 1.9 million today), projecting a cost to pass of $850-$950 in 2026 and beyond.
Uniti is "very bullish" on Asset-Backed Securitization (ABS), with plans for a Kinetic ABS issuance in the first half of 2026 and an estimated $3 billion-$4 billion of ABS capacity long-term.
Leverage is expected to increase during the Kinetic fiber build investment cycle, with deleveraging anticipated towards the end of the build, targeting 3.5 million homes by 2029.
The AI opportunity is considered "generational" and is driving significant demand for dark fiber, with a current funnel of $1.7 billion in total contract value.
