2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 are presented to include the reclassification of ATC TIPL as discontinued operations. All other prior periods shown have not been changed.
Includes one-time net positive impacts to 2018 Adjusted EBITDA and AFFO attributable to common stockholders related to the Company's settlement with Tata in Q4 2018.
Full year 2023 includes impairment charges of $80 million for the Spain reporting unit.
In Q2 2019, the Company made a capitalized interest payment of approximately $14 million associated with the purchase of the shareholder loan previously held by its joint venture partner in Ghana. In Q1 2020, the Company made a capitalized interest payment of approximately $63 million associated with the acquisition of MTN's redeemable noncontrolling interests in each of its joint ventures in Ghana and Uganda. In each case, the deferred interest was previously expensed but excluded from AFFO Attributable to Common Stockholders.
2015 and 2022 exclude one-time GTP cash tax charge.
2026 includes adjustments of $0.5 million for a tax refund in Germany. 2025 includes adjustments for (i) $0.3 million of taxes paid in Singapore related to the ATC TIPL Transaction, (ii) $25.8 million of taxes paid in South Africa, which were incurred as a result of the sale of South Africa Fiber, (iii) $30.4 million of taxes paid related to the sale of equity securities in the U.S. and (iv) $6.5 million of other tax adjustments. 2024 includes adjustments for withholding taxes paid in Singapore of $36.4 million, which were incurred as a result of the ATC TIPL Transaction.
Represents AFFO attributable to AMT common stockholders from continuing operations adjusted for a full period of interest expense savings associated with the use of approximately $2.0 billion of proceeds from the ATC TIPL Transaction to pay down existing indebtedness under the 2021 Multicurrency Credit Facility, at the applicable historical borrowing cost for the respective period. No additional adjustments are required related to the repayment of approximately $120 million under the India Term Loan, as the historical interest expense associated with the India Term Loan is already considered as part of AFFO attributable to AMT common stockholders from discontinued operations when deriving AFFO attributable to AMT common stockholders from continued operations.
