IHS Holding Limited (symbol: IHS) is the largest independent mobile telecommunications infrastructure provider across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.

This includes tower sharing, colocation on owned towers, and managed services, along with the deployment and ownership of sites.

With a robust presence in countries like Nigeria, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Zambia, and Rwanda, IHS currently oversees more than 23,300 towers in Africa. This comes as a result of strategic acquisitions, including the recent purchase of MTN and Etisalat's tower portfolios in Nigeria.

The company's core business lies in providing telecommunications infrastructure to mobile network operators (MNOs), which then offer wireless voice and data services to their end-users. IHS operates across various geographical segments, including Nigeria, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), and Latin America (Latam). A significant portion of IHS's revenue is derived from its operations in Nigeria, highlighting its strong foothold in the region.
Backed by a depth of technical and industry knowledge, IHS Holding Limited continues to innovate and expand its footprint, ensuring it remains a key player in the ever-evolving telecommunications landscape.

IHS Holding , one of the largest independent owners and operators of shared communications infrastructure, reported its Q1 2024 financial results. The company faced a 30.7% revenue decrease to $417.7 million, largely due to a significant 64.9% devaluation of the Nigerian Naira. Despite this, organic growth was 35.5%. Adjusted EBITDA fell by 44.8% to $185.2 million, and the net loss for the period was $1,557.3 million, primarily due to unrealized FX losses of $1,398.7 million.
