The quarterly results are secondary to the pending MTN acquisition. Monitor remaining closing conditions and regulatory approvals for the deal, which will determine the stock's terminal value. No conference call was held, consistent with the acquisition process.

Executive Summary
IHS Holding reported Q2 2026 revenue from continuing operations of $428.6M (+10.4% YoY), driven by a 13.5% FX tailwind from Naira appreciation, while organic revenue grew only 0.5%. Adjusted EBITDA fell 1.3% to $245.3M due to higher power costs and disposal headwinds, and the company swung to a net loss of $7.5M from a $32.3M profit a year ago. The results are largely overshadowed by the pending acquisition by MTN Group, which shareholders approved in August 2026 and remains on track to close this year.
Key Facts
- Revenue from continuing operations $428.6M, +10.4% YoY (organic +0.5%)
- Adjusted EBITDA $245.3M, -1.3% YoY; net loss of $7.5M vs profit of $32.3M
- ALFCF $57.1M, +5.9% YoY; cash from operations $202.1M, -20.4%
- Consolidated net leverage ratio improved to 2.8x from 3.4x YoY
- Completed disposals of I-Systems (May 2026) and Latam tower ops (August 2026)
- Shareholders approved MTN Group acquisition at EGM in August 2026; closing expected in 2026
Financial Impact
Revenue growth largely FX-driven; core organic growth minimal. EBITDA decline and net loss reflect power cost headwinds and one-off M&A-related expenses. Leverage reduction is credit-positive.
Risk Factors
- MTN acquisition fails to close or is delayed beyond 2026
- Nigerian Naira depreciation could reverse FX tailwinds
- Power cost pass-through lag continues to pressure margins
