About the Company

We are a leading provider of digital infrastructure and communications services with a strategic focus on rural and remote markets in the US, and internationally, including Bermuda and the Caribbean region.

We have developed significant operational capabilities and resources that enhance the performance of our local market operations. Our operating subsidiaries benefit from this shared expertise, which allows them to deliver improved service quality and achieve greater economies of scale than would typically be possible in the smaller markets we serve. We provide centralized management, technical, financial, regulatory, and marketing support to these operating subsidiaries and typically receive a management fee based on a percentage of their revenues. The intercompany fees are eliminated in our consolidated financial results.

We use the cash generated from our operations to repay debt and increase liquidity, reinvest in our network and service operations, fund capital expenditures, return value to stockholders through dividends or share repurchases, and to pursue strategic transactions. We continuously evaluate both domestic and international opportunities that align with our long-term goal of generating sustained excess operating cash flows.

For additional information regarding our reportable segments and geographic distribution of revenues and assets, please refer to Notes 1 and 13 of the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Report.

As of December 31, 2025, we offered the following services to our customers:

US Telecom Segment

Our US Telecom segment generates fixed, carrier, wholesale mobility and managed services revenues in Alaska and parts of the western US.

In Alaska, we own approximately 52% of the common equity of the operating company, Alaska Communications, and control its operations and management. Our co-investors in Alaska Communications, Freedom 3 Capital, LLC and other institutional investors (collectively, the “Freedom 3 Investors”) collectively own the remaining 48% of the common equity of Alaska Communications.

In November 2022, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding stock of Sacred Wind Enterprises, Inc. (“Sacred Wind”), a rural telecommunications provider in New Mexico (the “Sacred Wind Transaction”). As part of the Sacred Wind Transaction, we paid a combination of cash and equity for Sacred Wind, resulting in the Sacred Wind stockholders becoming minority owners in Commnet, the new business formed by combining Sacred Wind with our existing operations in the western US. Beginning on November 7, 2022, the results of the Sacred Wind Transaction are included in our US Telecom segment.

Revenues from our US Telecom segment were approximately 48% of our consolidated revenues for fiscal years 2025 and 2024.

Carrier Services

Carrier Services.  In Alaska, we provide wholesale voice and internet connectivity to carrier customers.  In the western US, we provide wholesale mobile voice and data roaming services, as well as wholesale transport services to national, regional, local and select international wireless carriers. These carrier services also include tower rental, backhaul and maintenance services. Our largest wholesale networks are located principally in the western US.

In Alaska, we provide connectivity to our wholesale customers, either through direct sales of wholesale transport over our terrestrial or subsea networks or else by contracting to build, host or maintain networks on behalf of another carrier over a contracted term.  

In the western US, we provide network infrastructure services as part of our expanded carrier services, such as tower leasing and transport facilities to our carrier partners, to supplement our historic revenue base. In July 2019, the Company entered into a Network Build and Maintenance Agreement with AT&T Mobility, LLC (“AT&T”) that was subsequently amended through March 31, 2025 (the “FirstNet Agreement”).  In connection with the FirstNet Agreement, the Company is building a portion of AT&T’s network for the First Responder Network Authority (“FirstNet”) in or near the Company’s current operating areas in the western US (the “FirstNet Transaction”). The FirstNet Transaction includes construction and service performance obligations. As of December 31, 2025, we had substantially completed the build of AT&T’s network for FirstNet. In addition to building the network, we will provide ongoing equipment and site maintenance and high-capacity transport to and from these cell sites for an initial term ending in 2031.

On May 10, 2023, we entered into a Carrier Managed Services Master Agreement (the “Verizon CMS Agreement”) with Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless (“Verizon”), pursuant to which we provide a variety of network, infrastructure and technical services that help deliver next generation wireless services to Verizon’s subscribers in our current operating areas in the southwestern US. Pursuant to the Verizon CMS Agreement and subject to certain limitations contained therein, we upgrade our wireless service in specific areas and provide services to Verizon for an initial rolling seven-year term, with renewal periods beginning in 2030.  As of December 31, 2025, we were substantially complete with this Verizon build, and we are continuing to complete the remaining sites.

We also have roaming agreements with each of the three US national wireless network carriers (AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon) along with several other wireless service providers. Other than these agreements with the national carriers, our standard roaming agreements are usually terminable within 90 days. While we continue to provide services pursuant

Table of Contents

to these roaming agreements, our business focus has shifted away from traditional roaming and toward a carrier services model.

Sales and Marketing. Our wholesale transport customers are predominately communications carriers such as local exchange carriers, wireless carriers, internet service providers and interstate integrated providers. Our services are mainly sold through direct and inside sales. Our business customers select from our wide range of service offerings tailored to meet their needs.

We believe that our ability to deliver reliable, high capacity backhaul across multiple provider footprints, both from licensed fixed wireless microwave and fiber access solutions, creates value for our customers who are typically unable to scale their rural access capacities as rapidly and successfully as they can in less remote markets. We are investing in the expansion of our regional fiber and network asset footprint, and in enhanced network reliability and route diversity, with the expectation that our carrier customers will have greater demand for higher capacity, higher reliability and lower latency backhaul to support their own investments in network deployments.

Fixed Services

Services. In Alaska, we provide fiber broadband, fixed wireless access, digital subscriber line (“DSL”) and managed IT services, offering technology and service-enabled customer solutions to business and wholesale customers in and out of Alaska. We also provide telecommunication services to consumers in the most populated communities throughout the state. Our facilities-based communications network connects to the contiguous states via our two diverse undersea fiber optic cable systems. We provide high-capacity data networking, internet connectivity, voice communications and IT Services. Networking services include Ethernet and IP routed services, as well as switched and dedicated voice services. In addition, we offer other value-added services such as network hosting, managed IT services and long-distance services. Our network is among the most expansive in Alaska and forms the foundation of service to our customers. We operate in a largely two-player terrestrial wireline market and our customers are primarily business customers.

In the western US, we provide fiber and fixed wireless services to business customers such as schools, libraries, mine operators and state and local governments as well as residential customers. Our focus in the western US is to continue to build-out our residential and commercial broadband services.

Network. Through our extensive facilities-based wireline telecommunications network, we provide communications and IT solutions that connect Alaskans, as well as customers in the continental US, to the world. We continually upgrade our network to provide higher levels of performance, higher bandwidth speeds, increased levels of security and additional value-added services for our customers. We operate significant terrestrial and submarine fiber miles, which serve as the backbone of our network with a focus on reaching government and large business customers. Our network is extensive within Alaska’s urban areas and connects our largest markets, including Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau with each other and the contiguous states, as well as many rural areas. Residential broadband customers are served in Alaska with a mix of fiber-driven broadband and copper-based DSL internet access. 

We own and operate two undersea fiber optic cable systems, AKORN® and Northstar, that provide diverse routing from our Alaskan network to our facilities in Oregon and Washington designed to serve the critical communications requirements of our own companies and our external customers. Through our landing stations in the pacific northwest, we also provide an at-the-ready landing point for other large fiber optic cables, and their operators, connecting the US to networks in Asia and other parts of the world. 

Our terrestrial fiber network on the North Slope of Alaska allows us to provide our broadband and managed IT solutions to customers in the oil and gas sector. Rural healthcare, education, and business customers are served by a satellite earth station network utilizing a combination of Geosynchronous Equatorial Orbit (“GEO”) and low earth orbit (“LEO”) satellite capacity. These satellite services provide internet and WAN backhaul connectivity to our customers.

Table of Contents

In the western US, we have deployed, and are working to deploy more, carrier-grade fiber optic networks strategically throughout our markets to continue to serve government, education, healthcare, business, consumer and tribal customers in Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah. We are continuing to expand our capacity offerings with a focus on enhancing our owned and leased transport facilities. The expansion of our network anchored by new fiber deployments is facilitating a long-held vision for reducing reliance on limited capacity microwave backhaul and enabling new wholesale agreements with additional national and regional carriers for both lit and dark fiber services.

Competition. In Alaska, we face competition in our markets from larger competitors with substantial resources. For traditional voice and broadband services, we compete with GCI and AT&T on a statewide basis, and smaller providers such as Matanuska Telephone Association, Inc., a co-op owned telephone and internet service provider operating in the Matanuska Valley region of Alaska, on a more local basis.

In the western US, we experience competitive pressures from Incumbent Local Exchange Carrier (“ILEC”) providers such as AT&T, Comcast, Windstream, Lumen and Frontier along with their channel partners and other smaller regional providers and cooperatives. Similarly, we compete with national fiber providers, such as Zayo, with vast wholesale channel solutions. Our ability to offer full-service solutions across multiple Local Exchange Carrier (“LEC”) service areas and very remote sites back to mobile telephone switching offices continues to be a market differentiator and a key driver of our success.

Our fixed services in the US also face additional competitive pressure from the continued development and commercialization of LEO satellite technologies with the capacity for providing high-quality data services to our customers.

Mobility Services

Mobility Services. Historically, we offered mobile services to retail customers in certain rural markets already covered by our wholesale networks in the western US. As of December 31, 2024, we ceased providing retail mobile services under our own brand.

Replace and Remove Program. In July 2022, we were approved to participate in the Federal Communication Commission’s (“FCC”) Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Reimbursement Program (the “Replace and Remove Program”), designed to reimburse providers of advanced communications services for reasonable costs incurred in the required removal, replacement, and disposal of communications equipment and services in their networks that has been deemed to pose a national security risk. Pursuant to the Replace and Remove Program, our eligible subsidiaries in the western US and in the US Virgin Islands were initially allocated up to approximately $207 million under the Replace and Remove Program; however, in December 2024, this program was fully funded for an increased allocation to the Company of approximately $517 million. The Replace and Remove Program requires each of our participating subsidiaries to complete the project no later than a specified deadline, which was extended to May 8, 2026. In March 2026, we requested a further extension through early November 2026, and the FCC has not yet acted on that request. As of December 31, 2025, we had received approximately $202 million in reimbursements under the Replace and Remove Program.

Network and Operations. We provide wireless communications network products and services with owned and leased cellular, PCS, BRS, EBS, AWS, and Citizens Broadband Radio Services (“CBRS”) spectrum. Our networks are comprised of base stations and radio transceivers located on owned or leased towers and buildings, telecommunications switches and owned or leased transport facilities. We design and construct our network in a manner intended to provide high-quality service to substantially all types of compatible wireless devices.

We operate high-capacity, carrier-class digital wireless switching systems that are capable of serving multiple markets through a mobile telephone switching office and centralized equipment used for network and data management that is located in high-availability facilities supported by multiple levels of power and network redundancy. Our systems are designed to incorporate Internet Protocol (“IP”) packet-based Ethernet technology, which allows for increased data

capacity and a more efficient network. Interconnection between the mobile telephone switching office and the cell sites utilizes Ethernet technology over fiber or microwave links for virtually all of our sites.

International Telecom Segment

Our International Telecom segment generates fixed, carrier, mobility and managed services revenues in Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Guyana and the US Virgin Islands. Revenues from our International Telecom segment were approximately 52% of our consolidated revenues for fiscal years 2025 and 2024.

During 2025, we completed our planned integration and alignment of management across our international markets, driving efficiencies and advancing the shared mission of these markets. We also continued to unify branding across our networks, and we now sell fixed and mobility services under the “One Communications” brand in Bermuda, Guyana and the US Virgin Islands.  

Fixed Services

High-Speed Data Services and Networks. We offer high-speed broadband and data connectivity services to residential and business customers in all our International Telecom markets. We provide a number of broadband internet plans with varying speeds to address different customer needs and price requirements in our various markets. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 149,300 broadband customers across our international markets and approximately 92% of those customers had access to high-speed networks.

Our high-speed data services are delivered over fiber to the premises using fiber-optic and hybrid fiber coaxial cable (“HFC”) networks throughout our international markets. We make efforts to construct our high-speed networks with durable materials and routes redundancies that are designed to withstand the climate of the regions, including challenges such as high winds. In Guyana, we are working to migrate customers from the legacy copper network and its DSL broadband internet service to either fiber or fixed wireless networks.  

Voice Services and Digital Switching. We offer fixed voice services that include local exchange, regional and long distance calling and voice messaging services to residential, government and business customers in Bermuda, Guyana, the Cayman Islands and the US Virgin Islands. With respect to our international long-distance business, we also collect payments from foreign carriers for handling international long-distance calls originating from the foreign carriers’ countries and terminating on our network. We also make payments to foreign carriers for international calls originating on one of our networks and terminating in the foreign carrier’s countries and collect from our subscribers or a local originating carrier a rate that is market-based or set by regulatory tariff. All fixed access lines in our network are digitally switched from our switching centers in the US Virgin Islands, Bermuda, Cayman Islands and Guyana.  Our switching centers in these markets enable dedicated monitoring of our network designed to ensure quality and reliable service to our customers.

Video services. We offer video services in Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, and the US Virgin Islands. We have several offerings available to our video customers, including basic and tiered local and cable TV channels grouped into various content categories, such as news, sports and entertainment.

Sub-Sea Fiber Networks. Our international voice and data networks link with the rest of the world through undersea fiber-optic cables in the Caribbean and Atlantic regions. These cables are crucial arteries that supply access to communications services for islands and remote markets like the ones in which we operate. Our sub-sea fiber connectivity utilizes physically diverse routes, designed to supply resilient services to our customers. This fiber network is comprised of both owned assets (through memberships of certain consortia) and assets leased from third parties.

Sales and Marketing. Our fixed services are sold through five main distribution channels: digital, company owned and operated retail/pop-up retail, authorized dealers and agents, direct sales, and inside sales. Business and residential customers are able to purchase any of our standalone or bundled data, managed services, security services, and voice

Table of Contents

services through any of the aforementioned channels. We are seeking to grow and protect our existing business customer base with our Brava service offerings, which are provided through a simplified bundling approach that enhances our value proposition and brand position in our markets.

Competition. We compete with a limited number of other providers, including Digicel, Liberty Latin America, and individual newer entrants in select markets, with respect to various services. We believe our breadth of services and regional strategy to strengthen and enhance our business offerings provide us with a strong competitive position and the ability to win and retain an economically viable share of our markets.

Mobility Services

We provide mobile, data, and voice services to retail and business customers in Bermuda, Guyana and in the US Virgin Islands. We also provide roaming services to the customers of many of the largest US and international telecommunications operators when their customers visit our markets. As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 399,200 mobile subscribers in our International Telecom segment.

Products and Services. A significant majority of our international customers use prepay plans, which require them to pay in advance for our mobile services. These plans allow customers to purchase a specific amount of voice minutes, text messages, or data for a specified period of time before usage. A minority of customers subscribe to our postpaid plans that allow customers to select a plan with voice minutes, text messaging, a given amount of data and other features that recur on a monthly basis and are billed at the end of the service period.

Network and Operations: We offer our mobility services over 4G (LTE) in all our markets, except for the Cayman Islands, with significant 5G coverage in Bermuda and the US Virgin Islands. We own and operate base stations on owned and leased sites throughout our international markets. Except for VoLTE, which has components in each market and leverages shared components in Miami and Denver, all of our mobile networks have their core supporting facilities in the home network in the US Virgin Islands, Bermuda and Guyana. Our international Network Operations Center (“NOC”) provides dedicated monitoring of our networks and is designed to ensure that we have continuous monitoring of all our wireless and wireline facilities.

The transport networks in all the markets are primarily fiber based with route diversity provided by the deployment of fiber rings where possible and supplemental microwave deployments. The vast majority of the networks are IP based utilizing multiprotocol label switching (“MPLS”) for redundancy to provide high availability networks. Standby power is provided by back up battery and generators. We have standardized business continuity and disaster recovery plans and engage in regular reviews and testing of those plans throughout the markets. Connection between these markets and the rest of the world is principally through subsea fiber networks described in our “International Telecom – Fixed Services – Sub-Sea Fiber Networks” section above.

Sales and Marketing. We provide mobile services, mobile connectivity devices and account management through five main distribution channels: digital, company owned retail/pop-up retail, authorized dealers/agents, direct sales, and inside sales. Business and residential customers are able to purchase any of our services, prepaid mobile, postpaid mobile, and mobile data, through any of the above channels. Our sales channels are strategically located throughout our service areas, staffed by trained, branded, and supported sales and service representatives.

Handsets and Accessories. We offer a diverse line of wireless devices and accessories designed to meet both the personal and professional needs of our customers. These devices support a variety of wireless connectivity technologies that are deployed across our various markets. Our device assortment includes a wide range of smartphones including those featuring the Android™ and iOS™ operating systems in addition to a full line of feature phones, wireless hotspots and various wireless solutions for small businesses. To complement our phone offerings, we sell a complete range of original equipment manufacturer and after-market accessories that allow our customers to personalize their wireless experience, including phone protection, battery charging solutions and Bluetooth hands-free kits.

Table of Contents

Competition. We believe we compete for wireless retail customers in our international markets based on features, price, technology deployed, network coverage (including through roaming arrangements), quality of service and customer care. We compete against Digicel and Liberty Latin America in the Caribbean region, other smaller local providers, and in the US Virgin Islands, against one or more US national operators or mobile virtual network operators.

Human Capital Resources

People and Culture

We know that our employees are our most valuable assets to realize our mission to digitally empower people and communities so they can connect with the world and prosper. We do this through meeting the everyday connectivity needs of rural and remote communities. We developed the values listed below to reflect both our current culture and the values that we strive to embody to attract and maintain key talent. We endeavor to implement these values every day through employee engagement events, regular communication on company goals and milestones, and foster a connected and empowered workplace.

ATN Workforce Overview

As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 2,100 employees, of whom approximately 700 were employed in the US (including the US Virgin Islands) and approximately 1,400 were employed by our international subsidiaries. At the holding company level, we employ our executive management team and staff. As of December 31, 2025, approximately 26% of our total employee population were covered by contracts with various unions. Employees represented by unions are located in Alaska and all our international markets except for the Cayman Islands. As of the date of this Report, we believe we have a good relationship with our unions.

Commitment to Local Management and Variety of Viewpoints

We seek engaged managers who have strong values, integrity, knowledge of our market and business model, and have respect for differing viewpoints. We strive to cultivate a dynamic working environment that fosters a greater understanding of our differences and strengthens our Company.

We rely heavily on local management teams to run our subsidiary operating units. Many of the markets in which we operate are small and remote, and in some cases are subject to government restrictions on granting work visas, all of which makes it difficult to attract and retain talented and qualified managers and staff in those markets.

Employee Engagement and Development

Together with our subsidiaries, we are dedicated to enhancing the use of technology in the various communities we serve. We believe having management and staff with deep local expertise of the communities in which they operate is crucial to our success and to our ability to have a positive impact on those communities. We believe that varied perspectives and backgrounds enhance the workplace.

10

Table of Contents

We are proud to offer benefits to our employees that promote wellness and personal care, a safe work environment and career growth opportunities. We regularly utilize performance development tools for our employees, which are focused on driving engagement and high performance through frequent communication throughout the year.

Our employee engagement survey provides employees with the opportunity to share confidential feedback on what they believe has been working well and where they believe we can improve to better support our employees. Our focus areas for engagement include skills development and manager performance. Anonymous, aggregated results are shared with employees, and the results inform our long-term action plans aimed at continuously improving our work environment.

US Federal Regulation

At the federal level in the US, we are regulated in large part by the FCC. Our operations in the US are subject to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, including the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (“Communications Act”), and the FCC’s implementing regulations.

The FCC provides regulations that impose certain disclosures, operational measures, and regulatory payment obligations applicable to both our fixed and wireless services. To date, that includes, but is not limited to:

11

Table of Contents

Fixed Services

The FCC generally exercises jurisdiction over the interstate and international fixed wireline telecommunications services that we provide as a regulated common carrier. The Communications Act and regulations promulgated thereunder require, among other things, that we offer regulated interstate telecommunications common carrier services at just, reasonable, and non-discriminatory rates and terms. The Communications Act also requires us to offer competing carriers interconnection and non-discriminatory access to certain facilities and services designated as essential for local competition.

We are subject to competitive market forces, as well as rate-of-return regulation for intrastate services that originate and terminate in the US Virgin Islands and price-cap rate regulation for interstate services in Alaska and the US Virgin Islands regulated by the FCC. Because we face competition, we may not be able to charge the maximum permitted rates under price-cap regulation or realize the authorized intrastate rate of return. A broader range of data and information services are offered by our unregulated affiliates or as unregulated services by our regulated companies.

Wireless Services

The FCC regulates, among other things: the licensed and unlicensed use of radio spectrum; the ownership, lease, transfer of control, and assignment of wireless licenses; the ongoing technical, operational, and service requirements applicable to such licenses; the timing, nature, and scope of network construction; the provision of certain services, such as enhanced 911 (“E-911”); and the interconnection of communications networks in the US. Although some of these regulations apply to both our services to retail customers and our wholesale services to wireless carriers, many apply only to our retail services. As we reduce the markets in which we provide retail wireless services, the significance to our business of regulatory obligations applicable only to our retail services has and will continue to diminish.

Spectrum Licenses. We provide our wireless services pursuant to various commercial mobile radio services (“CMRS”) licenses issued by the FCC. Some of these licenses are site-based while others cover specified geographic market areas. The specific radio frequencies, the authorized spectrum amounts, and certain of the technical and service rules vary depending on the licensed service. In addition to CMRS licenses, our wireless business relies on common carrier and non-common carrier fixed point-to-point microwave licenses issued by the FCC. Most of our license grants are for a period of ten years and are renewable upon successful application to the FCC. The FCC conditions some spectrum licenses on the satisfaction of certain obligations to construct networks covering a specified geographic area or population by specific dates. As of the date of this Report, we were substantially in compliance with the applicable construction

12

Table of Contents

requirements that have arisen for the licenses we currently hold and do not expect to be in violation of future construction requirements.

Public Interest and Safety Obligations. The Communications Act and the FCC’s rules impose additional requirements upon wireless service providers. The radio systems towers that we own and lease are subject to Federal Aviation Administration and FCC regulations that govern the location, marking, lighting, and construction of certain towers and certain towers are also subject to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act, National Historic Preservation Act, and other environmental statutes enforced by the FCC. In addition, the FCC has also adopted guidelines and methods for evaluating human exposure to emissions of radiofrequency radiation from radio equipment.

The FCC has adopted requirements for CMRS providers to promote access to reliable 911, hearing aid compatible devices, emergency alerting, and first responder communications. For example, wireless providers are obligated to transmit all 911 calls to an appropriate PSAP based on geographic data generated by increasingly accurate location information technologies mandated by the FCC. The FCC also has adopted obligations on wireless providers related to network reliability and resiliency and disaster management. To our knowledge, as of the date of this Report, we were in compliance with the foregoing obligations currently applicable to our operations, and we devote resources necessary to meet these obligations and maintain network services.

Universal Service Support and Contributions

In general, all telecommunications providers are obligated to contribute to the Universal Service Fund (“USF”), which is used to promote the availability of qualifying telecommunications and broadband service to low-income households, households located in rural and high-cost areas, and to schools, libraries, and rural health care providers. We contribute to the USF and also receive various forms of USF support.  We are subject to audit by the Universal Service Administrative Company (“USAC”) with respect to our federal contributions and our receipts of universal service funding. To our knowledge, as of the date of this Report, we were in compliance in all material respects with applicable federal and state USF assessment and support requirements.

USF High-Cost Support. The FCC’s high-cost USF (or alternatives to former high-cost USF) mechanisms promote the deployment and operation of voice and broadband networks in areas where high costs would otherwise undermine the availability of service to consumers, including in rural, insular, and remote areas. High-cost support mechanisms generally include explicit conditions to deploy broadband to new locations and provide service meeting specified standards.

We receive several forms of high-cost support, including but not limited to, as follows:

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance in all material respects with our deployment and service requirements associated with such funding. If we fail to meet these obligations or require substantial additional capital expenditures to meet the obligations in a timely manner, our revenue, results of operations and liquidity may be materially adversely impacted.

Rural Health Care Universal Service Support Program. The FCC’s Rural Health Care Universal Service Support Mechanism (“RHC Program”) provides funding to help make broadband telecommunications and Internet access services provided by us and other service providers affordable for eligible rural health care providers. We participate in the RHC Program, and during 2025, the Company received $19.0 million related to RHC Program funding.

Subsidies for Low-Income Customers. The FCC’s Lifeline support mechanism provides a subsidy to eligible low-income consumers against the cost of voice services, as well as broadband in CAF II locations. In addition, from January 1, 2022 to June 1, 2024, the FCC administered the Affordable Connectivity Program (“ACP”), which provided eligible low-income consumers and students with a monthly subsidy for the purchase of broadband Internet access service from service providers that elected to participate in the program, which we did.

E-Rate. We provide telecommunications services, broadband internet access services, and internal connections supported by the FCC’s Schools and Libraries Universal Service Support Mechanism (“E-rate”). E-rate support provides an invaluable means by which elementary and secondary schools can afford those services, particularly in rural and remote, high-cost areas. Historically, E-rate has primarily supported services that connect eligible school buildings. To our knowledge, as of the date of this Report, we were in compliance with applicable E-Rate requirements.

Video Services

Video services systems are regulated by the FCC under the Communications Act. We provide video services in the US Virgin Islands. The FCC regulates our programming selection through local broadcast TV station mandatory carriage obligations, constraints on our retransmission consent negotiations with local broadcast TV stations, and limited regulation of our carriage negotiations with cable programming networks. The FCC and federal laws also impose rules governing, among other things, our ability to collect and disclose subscribers’ personally identifiable information, access to inside wiring in multiple dwelling units, cable pole attachments, customer service and technical standards, and disability access requirements. Failure to comply with these regulations could subject us to penalties. To our knowledge, as of the date of this Report, we were in compliance in all material respects with currently applicable FCC video services requirements.

US State and Territorial Regulation

In addition to FCC regulation, we are subject to state and local regulation, such as environmental, zoning, land use, privacy, consumer protection, and other regulations.

Alaska Regulation

Providers of intrastate wireline (i.e., voice, broadband internet, and cable video) telecommunication services in Alaska are required to obtain a certificate of public convenience and necessity from the Regulatory Commission of Alaska (the “RCA”), which Alaska Communications holds. The RCA also adopts and administers various regulatory requirements applicable to certificate holders, although the scope of such regulations was materially reduced in 2019. As of the date of this Report, we believe that Alaska Communications was in compliance with these RCA requirements.

US Virgin Islands Regulation

Our wireline operations in the US Virgin Islands are subject to the US Virgin Islands Public Utilities Code, pursuant to which the Virgin Islands Public Service Commission (“PSC”) regulates certain telecommunications and cable TV services that OneVI provides in the US Virgin Islands.

Our video, internet, and wireless companies in the US Virgin Islands also receive tax benefits as qualifying participants in the US Virgin Islands’ Research & Technology Park (“RTPark”) program. These benefits resulted in tax exemptions of approximately $2.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2025. In order to qualify, we are required to pay monthly management fees of 0.4% of tenant company revenue, make annual charitable contributions to the University of the Virgin Islands, purchase products and services locally when feasible and provide in-kind services to RTPark. The current RTPark program agreement expires in June 2026, and on February 19, 2026 we renewed it for a new term expiring in 2036. Beginning on June 1, 2026 our management fee will increase to 1% of tenant company revenue.

Guyana Regulation

Our subsidiary, One Communications (Guyana) Inc. (formerly known as GTT Inc.) (“OneGY”), in which we hold an 80% interest, operates in Guyana pursuant to a telecommunications license issued by the Government of Guyana. OneGY is subject to regulation under the Guyana Public Utilities Commission Act of 2016, as amended, and the Guyana Telecommunications Act of 2016 and the regulations promulgated thereunder. The Public Utilities Commission of Guyana is an independent statutory body responsible for regulating telecommunications rates and services in Guyana. The Prime Minister of Guyana, acting on behalf of the Government of Guyana, holds statutory authority over telecommunications licensing and related matters. The Telecommunications Agency advises the Prime Minister, implements policy and has primary responsibility for issuing operating licenses and frequency authorizations.

Subsequent to the sector’s liberalization, OneGY has historically been able to implement price adjustments and undertake equipment upgrades with support from the relevant regulatory authorities. However, uncertainty persists regarding the long-term frameworks governing licensing, universal service funding, and spectrum management. These uncertainties create potential variability in the regulatory and competitive landscape in Guyana.

On October 5, 2020, the Prime Minister of Guyana formally implemented telecommunications legislation enacted in 2016 that introduces significant changes to Guyana’s existing telecommunications regulatory regime with the stated objective of fostering a more competitive market. These regulations impose new sector-wide requirements affecting our operations, administrative reporting obligations, and service offerings.  There can be no assurance that these regulations will be administered in a manner that does not adversely impact OneGY’s operational or financial performance.

Licensing Framework. OneGY provides domestic fixed wireline, mobile and international voice and data services pursuant to licenses issued by the Government of Guyana. OneGY’s current operating license was issued in

15

Table of Contents

October 2020 and is scheduled to expire in October 2030. On October 6, 2025, we formally notified the Government of Guyana of our intention to renew our operating license. As of the date of the Report, the request remains pending.

Bermuda Regulation

The Regulatory Authority of Bermuda (the “RA”) is the primary regulator of our operations in Bermuda. Our activities are governed principally by the Regulatory Authority Act 2011 and the Electronic Communications Act 2011. These statutes, collectively, establish the RA’s authority over licensing, consumer protection, ex post competition matters, and the identification and regulation of entities deemed to hold significant market power.

In 2024, the RA initiated a statutory review of the telecommunications market. This process continued into 2025 and included the publication of the RA’s Final Report and General Determination under the 2025 Electronic Communications Market Review (“ECMR”). As publicly reported, the ECMR introduced new regulatory obligations for sector participants, including potential pricing requirements, mandated entry-level service offerings, and other ex-ante remedies intended to address market structure concerns.

Subsequent to the issuance of the ECMR, the Supreme Court of Bermuda imposed a stay on the implementation of the RA’s directives pending the resolution of ongoing legal proceedings. As a result, the timing, scope, and enforceability of the ECMR-related measures remain uncertain.

We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the ECMR or the nature of any future regulatory requirements. Any measure, whether related to pricing, service obligations, or competitive remedies, could materially affect our operations, cost structure, or financial performance in Bermuda.

or avoid major outages caused by such an attack or breach. These failures could also lead to significant negative publicity and reputational harm, and we may be subject to litigation, regulatory penalties and financial losses.

Inclement weather, changes in meteorological conditions and other natural disasters may materially disrupt our operations.

Many of the areas in which we operate have experienced severe weather conditions including hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, fires, damaging storms, floods and earthquakes. Such events have in the past and in the future may materially disrupt and adversely affect our business operations. Major hurricanes have hit the US Virgin Islands, Bermuda, and Cayman several times in the past decade, causing damage to our network and to the infrastructure on the islands. Guyana and Cayman have each suffered from severe rains and flooding in the past as well. In Alaska, our operations face earthquake, volcanic, fire and winter storm risk. This risk to our Company is heightened by the limited emergency response resources in many of our service areas, which may be difficult to access during an emergency situation, potentially delaying service restoration during critical times following a natural disaster or other disruptive event. In addition, the impacts of climate change may exacerbate the risk of significant damage in the areas in which we operate if the frequency or duration of more intense weather events increase. We cannot be sure that these types of events will not have an impact in the future or that we can procure insurance coverage against these types of severe weather and geological events under reasonable business terms and conditions, or that any insurance coverage we are able to maintain will fully fund the replacement of assets and adequately compensate us for all damage and economic losses resulting from natural catastrophes. If we are unable to restore service on a timely and cost-effective basis, it could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations through continued loss of revenue and customer attrition.

Network outages and rising energy costs could have an adverse effect on our business.

Network outages could have a material adverse effect on our business and can be caused by a myriad of incidents, including aging or faulty infrastructure, natural disasters, cyber-attacks, and third-party outages, such as power loss or subsea cable outage. Much of our underlying physical infrastructure (particularly in Guyana and Alaska), including buildings, fleet vehicles and related systems and equipment, has been in service for an extended period of time. Due to the rural and island locations of our networks, our energy costs tend to be high, and where we have not removed all of our legacy copper network, on average, can be higher than those of our competitors operating in the same markets. We are reliant on the stability of the energy grid in each of our markets to provide services, however, frequent power outages in several of our markets result in our service outages. We may not be able to adequately fund the maintenance and replacement of this infrastructure on a basis timely enough to avoid material outages, decrease our rising energy costs, accurately predict equipment failure rates, or be able to locate replacement parts or spares to repair existing equipment due to its age. Any network outage as a result of our aging infrastructure or unreliable energy grid could negatively impact our operations, including the provision of service to our customers, and could result in adverse effects to our financial condition and reputation.

We are reliant on government funding that could change as a result of changes to governmental policies and programs.

In the western US, we receive government awards to both enable our expanded carrier service initiative and grow the footprint of our network. We receive federal and state universal service revenues to support our wireline operations in high-cost areas in Alaska, the US Virgin Islands, and the western US. We receive US government funding and awards from numerous other sources, including E-rate, EACAM, RHC Program, Tribal Broadband Connectivity, CAF II, RDOF, and state funding, and are also a participant in the FCC’s Replace and Remove Program. Each government award or support imposes explicit conditions regarding operational requirements, timelines and deployment of service, and required reporting, each that require strict compliance. If we are unable to meet the terms of the awards, our funding may be subject to claw back in addition to other consequences.

Administrative and operational expertise is required to meet the growing number of government award programs that we have been awarded, and in particular, to work through the backlog of government environmental and real estate permitting needed to build, expand or alter fiber or tower facilities in rural jurisdictions. The US federal government

17

Table of Contents

shutdown in 2025, as well as the decrease in federal workers to process easement and other necessary permitting, continues to have impacts on the operations of our Company with respect to backlog in permitting that accumulated during the shutdown.

Further, there is a risk that the FCC may continue to enumerate requirements, change stated rules, or delay or withhold funding. For example, if the FCC were to add a new company to the Covered List of foreign companies whose telecommunications equipment is subject to usage restrictions that has provided a significant amount of equipment to our subsidiaries, we cannot predict how our business will be impacted or what sort of adverse consequences may result.

Geopolitical instability and US military presence in the Caribbean may impact our operations.

A substantial part of our operations is located in the Caribbean, and we have undersea cable connectivity and corporate functions in several jurisdictions, including Trinidad and Tobago. The US military has been increasing its presence in the Caribbean recently, including a buildup of naval forces in the area and the January 3, 2026 large-scale strike in Venezuela. There are a number of potential business and operational impacts in the event that military activity escalates, such as physical damage to our telecommunications and subsea infrastructure, impairment to critical infrastructure and facilities (like power), workforce disruptions, changes to customer base and competitive markets, and inability to travel, as well as macroeconomic risks like currency fluctuation, oil and gas prices and general market instability. Any further geopolitical volatility, including the threat of or actual military action, may adversely impact our operations and financial results.  

Our inability to recruit and retain experienced management and technical personnel could adversely affect our results of operations and our ability to maintain effective internal controls.

The success of our business depends on the ability of our executive officers and operating unit leaders to develop and execute our business plan, identify and pursue new opportunities and product innovations, and attract and retain these leaders along with other highly qualified technical and management personnel. We believe that there is, and will continue to be, strong competition for qualified personnel in the communications industry and in our markets, and we cannot be certain that we will be able to attract and retain the personnel necessary for the development of our business.

We rely heavily on local management to run our operating units. Many of the markets in which we operate are small and remote, and in some cases are subject to government restrictions on granting work visas, which could make it difficult for us to attract and retain talented and qualified managers and staff in those markets. While the Company has consolidated certain key management roles, particularly in our international segment, reducing the risk associated with filling and maintaining fewer positions, it also increases the need for effective change management and continuity planning. The loss of key personnel or the inability to attract or retain individuals with the expertise to operate complex communications equipment, networks and systems could have a material adverse effect on our ability to maintain effective internal controls, and on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, we do not currently maintain “key person” life insurance on any of our key employees, and none of the executive officers at our parent company have executed employment agreements requiring a specified period of service.

We rely on a limited number of key suppliers and vendors and if our relationships with them are interrupted it could adversely impact our business.

As a telecommunications service provider, we depend on a limited number of suppliers for equipment and services relating to our network infrastructure, mobile handset lineup, and back-office IT systems infrastructure. If these suppliers experience interruptions, price increases due to tariffs, or higher inflation, or other problems delivering equipment to us on a timely and cost-effective basis, our subscriber or revenue growth and operating results could suffer significantly. For instance, our retail wireless businesses depend on access to compelling handset devices at reasonable prices on the primary and secondary markets. The size of our business, relative to many of our competitors, puts us at a disadvantage in terms of whether we will get access to the newest technologies at the same time as our competitors, as

18

Table of Contents

well as a financial disadvantage in terms of the ability to achieve economies of scale and receive commensurate discounts that may be available to our competitors.

A large portion of our equipment is sourced, directly or indirectly, from outside the US, which carries additional risks and regulatory obligations. In addition, major changes in tax policy or trade relations, such as the disallowance of tax deductions for imported products or the imposition of new or increased tariffs, reciprocal tariffs, or duties on imported products imposed or that may be imposed, could also adversely affect our business, results of operations, effective income tax rate, liquidity and net income. We continue to monitor other supply chain risks such as the increased cost and impact of tariffs, inflationary trends, availability of materials and services based on the subsidized dollars available for telecommunications companies in the US.

Strategic Risks

Increased competition may require increased capital expenditures or result in the loss of existing customers.

Over the past decade, an increase in competition in many areas of the telecommunications industry has contributed to a decline in prices for communication services, including mobile wireless services, local and long-distance telephone services and data services. This is exacerbated by declining or stagnant population trends and changes in the local business environment in certain island markets where we operate, notably Bermuda. Thus, the growth of our retail businesses relies on our ability to upsell our existing customer base with new or higher quality products while decreasing operating expenses. Increased competition, whether from new market entrants or heightened capital investment by our competitors in their existing networks, will make it more difficult for us to attract and retain customers in our small markets, which could result in lower revenue and cash flow from operating activities.

Additionally, in some instances, we compete against companies that have greater financial and personnel resources, greater brand name recognition, more extensive coverage areas, access to technologies not available to us and long-established relationships with regulatory authorities and customers. These additional resources may allow these competitors to offer bundled service offerings that we are not able to duplicate and offer more services than we do. We may not be able to successfully compete with these larger competitors to attract new customers and retain existing customers. As a result, we could experience lower revenues, higher sales and marketing expenses and lower earnings, which could have an adverse effect on our business and our results of operations.

We may not be able to close our sale of US towers.

On February 11, 2026, we announced the sale of a substantial portion of our tower portfolio (the “Tower Portfolio”) in the southwestern US to EIP Holdings IV, LLC, an affiliate of Everest Infrastructure Partners, Inc. (“Everest”) (the “Tower Portfolio Transaction”). Our ability to close the Tower Portfolio Transaction is dependent on our ability to receive certain third-party consents and approvals, including the expiration of any waiting period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Act of 1976, and to cure certain conditions identified at the signing of the Tower Portfolio Transaction with respect to certain sites.  We cannot guarantee when or if these or other conditions will be satisfied or that the Tower Portfolio Transaction will be successfully completed.

In addition, as part of the Tower Portfolio Transaction, EIP Holdings IV, LLC, an affiliate of Everest Infrastructure Partners, Inc. (“Everest”) has agreed to provide payment and assume the management of certain sites (the “Managed Sites”), for which we will have one year following the closing to remedy any Managed Site conditions, or we will be required to repay the transaction proceeds related to such sites.

The Tower Portfolio Transaction also contemplates our lease and continued use of space on the Tower Portfolio for our current wireless operations (the “Leaseback”), and is intended to enable us to monetize illiquid fixed assets to satisfy our short- and long-term needs, including investing in growth initiatives and de-levering our balance sheet. However, the Leaseback creates the risk of loss if we default on the terms of the Master Lease Agreements, which could

19

Table of Contents

negatively harm our financial position, results of operations and liquidity.  In addition, the Leaseback may result in higher overall costs and increase the Company’s operating expenses.

If we are unable to consummate the Tower Portfolio Transaction, or if we are not able to operate economically under the Leaseback, this could adversely affect our business, financial results and stock price. Even if the Tower Portfolio Transaction is successfully consummated, we may not realize the anticipated benefits thereof, including those related to the Leaseback, and our business, financial results and stock price could be negatively impacted.

We may not be able to realize the benefits of our investments in our operating markets.

Beginning in 2022, we invested in higher-than-average capital expenditures to support our strategies of “First-to-Fiber” and “Glass & Steel™” in our businesses. In 2024, we returned to more normalized investment levels. However, our ability to support multiple organic and inorganic growth opportunities across our businesses may be limited by our liquidity resources and require significant oversight from our senior management. Major business initiatives are underway, focusing on improving mobile and other enterprise sales across all markets, digitizing internal processes to enhance response times to customer requirements, modernizing and centralizing existing processes in select markets, and improving operational execution of certain US Telecom businesses. Execution on multiple simultaneous and transformational initiatives requires in-depth management attention in multiple jurisdictions to capitalize on economic growth in Guyana, capture additional operational efficiencies, and develop and grow enterprise revenue streams in our US Telecom segment.

To support multiple simultaneous growth opportunities, we may need to incur additional debt or raise additional capital to fund our future operations or investment opportunities. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to secure additional funding from public or private offerings on terms acceptable to us, if at all. As we exit our planned period of capital investments in various infrastructure projects, particularly upgrading and expanding our fiber network in Guyana, the success of those investments is largely dependent on the business being able to maintain and expand its customer base. We also face execution risk with respect to our margin expansion targets, which rely on reducing operating expenses without compromising service quality or losing revenues. Whether due to increased competition, ineffective sales activity, or other market forces, we may fail to achieve our sales targets and cost reduction goals on our upgraded networks.

Rapid and significant technological changes and advancements in the telecommunications industry may adversely affect us.

Our industry faces rapid and significant changes in technology that may directly impact our business, including the introduction of new telecom delivery platforms. For example, Starlink began offering direct-to-consumer products, which in some locations within our markets is a direct competitive alternative to our new fiber offerings. Given the high capital investments that we have already made in the new fiber offerings, this competition may have an adverse impact on our anticipated return on investment.

For us to keep pace with these technological changes and advancements and remain competitive, at a minimum we must continue to make capital expenditures to add to our networks’ capacity, coverage and technical capability. We cannot predict the effect of technological changes and advancements on our business. Alternative or new technologies, including AI technologies, may be developed that provide communications services superior to those available from us, which may adversely affect our business. Our use of AI technology is governed by various internal policies to maintain the security of our assets and information resources, which include limited approved use cases (such as summarization, research, transcription) and processes for approving new uses. Failure to provide these services or to upgrade to new technologies on a timely basis and at an acceptable cost, or to secure any necessary regulatory approvals to roll out such new technologies on a timely basis, all could have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete with carriers in our markets and may expose us to additional risks. For example, failure to implement the effective AI technologies could lead to poor customer experience or brand damage. Any problems with our implementation or use of AI or other technological advancements could also negatively impact our business or results of our operations.

Regulatory Risks

Regulatory changes may impose restrictions that adversely affect us or cause us to incur significant unplanned costs in modifying our business plans or operations.

We are subject to US federal, state, and local regulations and foreign government regulations, all of which are subject to change. As new laws and regulations are enacted, amended, or abolished, we may be required to materially modify our business plans or operations. We cannot be certain that we can do so in a cost-effective or timely manner. The interpretation and implementation of the various provisions of the Communications Act and the FCC rules implementing the Communications Act continue to be heavily debated and may have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our international operations are subject to similar regulations, the interpretation and implementation of which are also often debated, and which may have a material adverse effect on our business. For instance, in 2025, the Government of Bermuda undertook a market review that purports to introduce material restrictions on our pricing and delivery of services in Bermuda that we currently have under appeal. There can be no assurance that these regulations will be effectively or uniformly administered, and Guyana remains a high-risk environment due to economic, political, and judicial uncertainty.

The loss of certain licenses could adversely affect our ability to provide wireless and broadband services.

In the US, wireless licenses generally are valid for ten years from the effective date of the license and generally may be renewed for additional ten-year periods by filing renewal applications with the FCC. While to date we have successfully renewed our licenses in the ordinary course of operations, failure to file for renewal of these licenses or failure to meet any licensing requirements could lead to a denial of the renewal application and thus adversely affect our ability to continue to provide service in that license area.

In our international markets, telecommunications licenses are typically issued and regulated by the applicable telecommunications ministry. The application and renewal process for these licenses may be lengthy, require us to expend substantial renewal fees, and/or be subject to regulatory or legislative uncertainty, such as we are experiencing in Guyana, as described above. For example, OneGY’s current operating license for Guyana was issued in October 2020 and is scheduled to expire in October 2030. On October 6, 2025, we formally notified the Government of Guyana of our intention to renew our operating license. As of the date of the Report, the request remains pending. Failure to comply with these regulatory requirements may have an adverse effect on our licenses or operations and could result in sanctions, fines or other penalties.

Economic Risks

The tightening of access to and cost of capital could adversely impact our business.

The tightening of access to capital markets (both debt and equity) and increasing costs of capital combined with a squeeze on operating cashflow generation capability due to inflationary pressures could decrease our capital funding below a desirable level. This could impact funding needed for future capital projects, or the speed that we are able to complete them, and/or limit our ability to grow through inorganic acquisition opportunities, which could have an adverse impact on our business.

General economic factors, such as inflation and a potential economic downturn, domestically and internationally, may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our operations and performance depend on worldwide economic conditions. These conditions have been adversely impacted by continued global economic concerns over inflation, supply chain disruptions, a potential recession, outbreak of war or ongoing conflicts, uncertainty with respect to tariffs and trade relations, and other monetary and financial uncertainties. The existence of inflation in the economy has resulted in, and may continue to result in, higher

21

Table of Contents

interest rates and capital costs, supply shortages, increased costs of labor, components, manufacturing and shipping, as well as weakening exchange rates and other similar effects. Increased interest rates and additional debt have resulted in increased interest expenses.

Slower economic activity, increased unemployment, concerns about inflation, decreased consumer confidence and other adverse business conditions could have an impact on our businesses. For example, among other things:

The long-term impact, if any, that these events might have on us and our business is uncertain.

Our debt instruments include restrictive and financial covenants that limit our operating flexibility.

The credit facilities that we and our subsidiaries maintain include certain financial and other covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to take specific actions, even if we believe such actions are in our best interest. These include restrictions on our ability to do the following:

Failure to comply with the restrictions of the credit facilities or any subsequent financing agreements may result in an event of default. Such default may allow our creditors to accelerate the repayment of the related debt and may result in the acceleration of the repayment of any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies. In addition, these creditors may be able to terminate any commitments they have made to provide us with additional funding.

Labor costs and the terms of collective bargaining agreements can negatively impact our ability to remain competitive, which could cause our financial performance to suffer.

Our four largest markets all have some unionized labor pools. Alaska Communications presents a particular operating challenge that differs from those that we have in other markets given the remote location of operations and the extent of the unionized workforce. Labor costs are a significant component of Alaska Communications’ expenses and, as of December 31, 2025, approximately 59% of its workforce is represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (“IBEW”). The collective bargaining agreement (“CBA”) between Alaska Communications and the IBEW, which was extended through December 31, 2027, governs the terms and conditions of employment for all IBEW represented employees working for Alaska Communications and has significant economic impacts on it as the CBA relates to wage and benefit costs and work rules. We believe Alaska Communications’ labor costs are higher than our competitors who employ a non-unionized workforce. In addition, Alaska Communications may make strategic and operational decisions that require the consent of the IBEW. In all of our markets, the local union may not provide consent when needed to execute upon strategic new initiatives or cost saving measures, it may require additional wages, benefits or that other consideration be paid in return for its consent, or it may call for a work stoppage against our operating companies. Any deterioration in the relationship with our local unions could have a negative impact on our operations and on our ability to achieve our plans for growth.

Alaska Communications may incur substantial and unexpected liabilities arising out of its pension plans.

Alaska Communications is required by the CBA to contribute to the Alaska Electrical Trust Funds (“AEPF”) for benefit programs, including defined benefit pension plans and health benefit plans. Alaska Communications also maintains pension benefits for substantially all of its Alaska-based employees. The AEPF is a multi-employer pension plan to which Alaska Communications makes fixed, per employee, contributions through the CBA, which covers the IBEW represented workforce, and a special agreement, which covers most of its non-represented workforce. Because contribution requirements are fixed, Alaska Communications cannot easily adjust annual plan contributions to address its own financial circumstances. Currently, this plan is not fully funded, which means Alaska Communications may be subject to increased contribution obligations, penalties, and ultimately, it could incur a contingent withdrawal liability should it choose to withdraw from the AEPF for economic reasons. Alaska Communications’ contingent withdrawal liability is an amount based on its pro-rata share among AEPF participants of the value of the funding shortfall. This contingent liability becomes due and payable if Alaska Communications terminates its participation in the AEPF. Moreover, if another participant in the AEPF goes bankrupt, Alaska Communications would become liable for a pro-rata share of the bankrupt participant’s vested, but unpaid, liability for accrued benefits for that participant’s employees. This could result in a substantial unexpected contribution requirement and making such a contribution could have a material adverse effect on Alaska Communications’ cash position and other financial results. These sources of potential liability are difficult to predict.

These plans and activities have generated and will likely continue to generate substantial cash requirements for Alaska Communications, and these requirements may increase beyond our expectations in future years based on changing market conditions, which could result in substantial liabilities on our balance sheet. The difference between projected plan obligations and assets, or the funded status of the plans, is a significant factor in determining the net periodic benefit costs of these pension plans and the ongoing funding requirements of those plans. Changes in interest rates, mortality rates, health care costs, early retirement rates, returns on investment and the market value of plan assets can affect the funded status of our defined benefit pension plans and cause volatility in the net periodic benefit cost and future funding requirements of the plans. In the future, we may be required to make additional contributions to our defined benefit plans. Plan liabilities may impair our liquidity, have an unfavorable impact on our ability to obtain financing and place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to some of our competitors who do not have such liabilities and cash requirements.

As of the date of this Report, we believe we were in compliance with the requirements of the AEPF.

Other Risks

Our founder is our largest stockholder and could exert significant influence over us.

Cornelius B. Prior, Jr., our founder and the father of our Executive Chairman, together with related entities, affiliates and family members (including our Executive Chairman), beneficially owns approximately 33% of our outstanding Common Stock. As a result, he has the ability to exert significant influence over all matters presented to our stockholders for approval, including the election and removal of our directors and change of control transactions. His interests may not always coincide with the interests of other holders of our Common Stock.

Low trading volume of our stock may limit our stockholders’ ability to sell shares and/or result in lower sale prices.

For the three months prior to March 16, 2026, the average daily trading volume of our Common Stock was approximately 74,000 shares. As a result, our stockholders may have difficulty selling a large number of shares of our Common Stock in the manner or at a price that might be attainable if our Common Stock were more actively traded. In addition, the market price of our Common Stock may not be reflective of its underlying value.

We may not pay dividends in the future.

Our stockholders may receive dividends out of legally available funds if, and when, they are declared by our Board of Directors. We have consistently paid quarterly dividends in the past, but may cease to do so or decrease the dividend amount at any time. Our credit facility sets certain limitations on our ability to pay dividends on, or repurchase, our capital stock. We may incur additional indebtedness in the future that may further restrict our ability to declare and pay dividends. We may also be restricted from paying dividends in the future due to restrictions imposed by applicable state laws, our financial condition and results of operations, capital requirements, management’s assessment of future capital needs and other factors considered by our Board of Directors.

The lack of liquidity of our privately held investments may adversely affect our business.

Our subsidiaries and affiliates are typically private companies whose securities are not traded in any public market. In the past, we have partnered with other equity investors as well and may have majority or minority holdings in certain investments. Investment agreements for both our majority and minority held subsidiaries often contain investor rights and obligations, such as rights of first refusal, co-sale, and “drag along” provisions related to liquidity events and transfers that may force us to sell or exit our holdings at times or on terms that are not optimal or limit our ability to sell or exit our holdings at our discretion. The illiquidity of our investments may make it difficult for us to quickly obtain cash equal to the value at which we record our investments if the need arises to satisfy the repurchase of such investments from our other equity investors in the event such company desires, or in the case of our Alaska Communications and Sacred Wind entities, may be required to repurchase such securities pursuant to contractual arrangements. Such illiquidity could also cause us to miss other investment opportunities. There can also be no assurance that our investments will appreciate in value or that we will have the opportunity to divest such investments at acceptable prices or within the timeline envisaged. If any of the above circumstances arise, it could result in impairments to such investments, and could have a material adverse impact on our earnings, cash flow and financial condition.

matrix regarding any material cybersecurity incidents, as well as providing the Audit Committee with periodic reports on any incidents with lesser impact potential.

The Audit Committee reports to the full Board regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity. The full Board also receives briefings from management from time to time on our cyber risk management program. Board members receive presentations and training on cybersecurity topics from our Vice President of Security or external experts as part of the Board’s continuing education on topics that impact public companies. Our Vice President of Security has over 30 years of experience in IT and Security and has the Certified Information System Security Professional (CISSP) certification, as well as various technology vendor certifications.

While our Vice President of Security is responsible for day-to-day cyber risk management, and reports to the Audit Committee on these matters, our management team, including our Chief Executive Officer, our General Counsel, our Vice President of Strategic Operations, our International Chief Operating Officer, and other members of our security, information technology, and legal teams, are responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. The team has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. Our internal security team is made up of experienced professionals that have an average of more than 25 years of IT and security experience, including certifications such as CISSP, CompTia Security+. We also have developed an internal training program to develop new talent within our organization and work with vendor and third-party training programs to mentor and educate these team members to expand and enhance the capabilities of our team.

Our management team supervises efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity threats and incidents through various means, which may include: briefings from internal security personnel; other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us; and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in the IT environment.

competition rules that generally apply. In October 2025, we were able to obtain a stay of implementation of these ex-ante remedies pending the Bermuda Supreme Court’s review of its appeal of the RA’s market review determination. The ex-ante remedies are burdensome and, if implemented, will require financial, operational, legal and regulatory resources to be allocated to ensure compliance.

With respect to all of the foregoing unresolved matters, we believe that some adverse outcome is probable and have accordingly accrued $16.1 million as of December 31, 2025 for these and other potential liabilities arising in various claims, legal actions and regulatory proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We also face contingencies that are reasonably possible to occur that cannot currently be estimated. It is our policy to expense costs associated with loss contingencies, including any related legal fees, as they are incurred.

Tower Portfolio Transaction

On February 11, 2026, through certain of our Commnet subsidiaries, we entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) with EIP Holdings IV, LLC, an affiliate of Everest Infrastructure Partners, Inc. (“Everest”) to sell approximately 214 tower portfolio sites (representing the substantial majority of our Commnet tower portfolio and operations (the “Tower Portfolio”)) to Everest for up to $297 million in cash consideration, subject to certain adjustments and prorations as set for in the Transaction Agreement (the “Tower Portfolio Transaction”).

The Tower Portfolio Transaction may be completed in one or more closings with each closing being subject to certain conditions that must be satisfied prior to the conveyance of the tower sites at that closing. We will receive a portion of the cash consideration attributable to those sites that are transferred as a part of each closing. The initial closing is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2026.

At the initial closing, we will enter into, among other ancillary agreements, (i) the management agreement for certain sites, (ii) master lease agreements, pursuant to which we will lease the requisite ground, tower, or other space of the conveyed tower site for our continued use, and (iii) a preferred backhaul agreement whereby we will become the preferred backhaul provider with respect to the conveyed tower sites.

The Transaction Agreement contains customary representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities by each of the parties, and requires the receipt of certain consents and approvals prior to a closing. If the Transaction Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances that are not the fault of us or our subsidiaries, we will receive a termination fee equal to approximately $14.9 million.

Carrier Managed Services

In July 2019, we entered into a Network Build and Maintenance Agreement with AT&T Mobility, LLC (“AT&T”) that we subsequently amended through March 31, 2025 (the “FirstNet Agreement”). In connection with the FirstNet Agreement, we are building a portion of AT&T’s network for the First Responder Network Authority (“FirstNet”) in or near our current operating areas in the western US. Pursuant to the FirstNet Agreement and subject to certain limitations contained therein, all cell sites must be completed and accepted within a specified period of time. The FirstNet Transaction includes construction and service performance obligations. As of December 31, 2025, we had substantially completed the build of AT&T’s network for FirstNet. Since the inception of the project through December 31, 2025, we have recorded $82 million in construction revenue and expect to record approximately $4 million in additional construction revenue and related costs as sites are completed. Revenues from construction are expected to have minimal impact on the Company’s operating income.

Following acceptance of a cell site, AT&T will own the cell site, and we will assign to AT&T any third-party tower lease applicable to such cell site. If the cell site is located on a communications tower we own, AT&T will pay us pursuant to a separate lease agreement for an initial term of eight years. In addition to building the network, we will provide ongoing equipment and site maintenance and high-capacity transport to and from these cell sites for an initial term ending in 2031.

On May 10, 2023, we entered into a Carrier Managed Services Master Agreement (the “Verizon CMS Agreement”) with Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless (“Verizon”), pursuant to which we will provide a variety of network, infrastructure and technical services that will help deliver next generation wireless services to Verizon’s subscribers in our current operating areas in the southwestern US.

Pursuant to the Verizon CMS Agreement and subject to certain limitations contained therein, we will upgrade our wireless service in specific areas and provide services to Verizon for an initial rolling seven-year term, with renewals beginning in 2030.

With respect to each of our FirstNet Agreement and Verizon CMS Agreement, our carrier partners will continue to use our wholesale domestic mobility network for roaming services at a fixed rate per site during the construction period until such time as the cell site is completed.  Thereafter, revenue from the maintenance, leasing and transport services provided is expected to generally offset revenue from wholesale mobility roaming services.  

Universal Service Fund and Other Domestic Funding Programs

In general, all telecommunications providers are obligated to contribute to the Universal Service Fund (“USF”), which is used to promote the availability of qualifying telecommunications and broadband service to low-income households, households located in rural and high-cost areas, and to schools, libraries, and rural health care providers. We contribute to the USF and also receive various forms of USF support. We are subject to audit by the Universal Service Administrative Company (“USAC”) with respect to our federal contributions and our receipts of universal service funding. To our knowledge, as of the date of this Report, we were in compliance with, in all material respects, applicable federal and state USF assessment and support requirements.

USF High-Cost Support. The Federal Communications Commission’s (“FCC”) high-cost USF (or alternatives to former high-cost USF) mechanisms promote the deployment and operation of voice and broadband networks in areas where high costs would otherwise undermine the availability of service to consumers, including in rural, insular, and remote areas. High-cost support mechanisms generally include explicit conditions to deploy broadband to new locations and provide service meeting specified standards. We receive several forms of high-cost support, including but not limited to, as follows:

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance in all material respects with requirements associated with such funding. If we fail to meet these obligations or require substantial additional capital expenditures to meet the obligations in a timely manner, our revenue, results of operations and liquidity may be materially adversely impacted.

Construction Grants

We have also been awarded construction grants to build network connectivity for eligible communities. The funding of these grants, used to reimburse us for our construction costs, is generally distributed after we incur reimbursable costs. Once these projects are constructed, we are obligated to provide service to the participants. We expect to meet all requirements associated with these grants. As of December 31, 2025, we were awarded $98.8 million of construction grants that are pending completion.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we disbursed capital expenditures of $22.4 million under these programs and received reimbursement of $14.7 million. These cash flows are classified as investing activities in our statement of cash flows.

In addition, we partner with tribal governments to obtain grants under various government grant programs including, but not limited to, the Tribal Broadband Connectivity Program (“TBCP”) and the Rural Development Broadband ReConnect Program (“ReConnect”). These programs are administered by US government agencies to deploy broadband connectivity in certain underserved areas. We were identified as a sub recipient of grants under these programs totaling $239 million as of December 31, 2025. Through December 31, 2025, we received $35.3 million of funding under these programs and spent $37.3 million on construction obligations. These amounts are recorded as operating cash flows in the Company’s statement of cash flows.

Replace and Remove Program

In July 2022, we were approved to participate in the Replace and Remove Program, designed to reimburse providers of advanced communications services for reasonable costs incurred in the required removal, replacement, and disposal of communications equipment and services in their networks that has been deemed to pose a national security risk. Pursuant to the Replace and Remove Program, our eligible subsidiaries were initially allocated up to approximately $207 million to replace, remove and securely destroy such communications equipment and services in our networks in the western US and in the US Virgin Islands; however, in December 2024, this program was fully funded for an increased allocation to the Company of an aggregate amount of approximately $517 million. The Replace and Remove Program requires each of our participating subsidiaries to complete the project no later than a specified deadline, which was extended to May 8, 2026. In March 2026, we requested a further extension through early November 2026, and the FCC has not yet acted on that request.

As of December 31, 2025, we had incurred total expenditures of $233.7 million related to this project, of which $65.3 million were incurred in 2025. Of these total expenditures, $194.9 million was classified as capital.

As of December 31, 2025, $16.7 million of capital expenditures was accrued and unpaid under the Replace and Remove Program. We expect to be reimbursed, within the next twelve months, for all amounts spent to date. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we received $71.1 million of reimbursement under the program, of which $11.5 million was classified as operating cash inflows and $59.6 million was classified as investing cash inflows in our statement of cash flows.

Selected Segment Financial Information

Through December 31, 2025, the Company has the following two reportable and operating segments: (i) International Telecom and (ii) US Telecom.

Operating income is the segment measure of profit or loss reported to the chief operating decision maker for purposes of assessing the segments' performance and making capital allocation decisions. We believe operating income is a useful measure of our operating results as it provides relevant and useful information to investors and other users of our financial data in evaluating the effectiveness of our operations and underlying business trends in a manner that is consistent with management's evaluation of business performance. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer.

A comparison of our segment results for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

International Telecom. For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenues within our International Telecom segment increased $4.4 million, or 1.2%, to $381.9 million from $377.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily as a result of an increase in revenue from ancillary services of $4.1 million. 

Operating expenses within our International Telecom segment increased by $13.2 million, or 4.4%, to $314.9 million from $301.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.  Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 included a $15.5 million gain on the disposition of long-lived assets, primarily real estate, which was partially offset by the impact of certain cost savings initiatives, including the reorganizations and reductions in force, that were implemented in current and previous periods.

As a result, our International Telecom segment’s operating income for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased $8.8 million, or 11.6%, to $67.0 million from $75.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

US Telecom.  For the year ended December 31, 2025, revenue within our US Telecom segment decreased by $5.5 million, or 1.6%, to $346.1 million from $351.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily a result of a $4.1 million reduction in Fixed revenues, which were negatively impacted by the April 2024 conclusion of both the Emergency Connectivity Fund (“ECF”) and the Affordable Care Program (“ACP”), a $2.7 million decrease in Mobility revenue as a result of the conclusion of our provision of retail mobility services, and a $1.0 million decrease in Other Communications Services revenue. These decreases were partially offset by increases in Construction revenue of $0.9 million due to an increase in the number of sites completed during 2025 as compared to 2024, and Carrier Services revenue of $1.6 million.

Operating expenses within our US Telecom segment decreased $48.3 million, or 12.2%, to $347.8 million from $396.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 included a $35.3 million impairment of goodwill. The remaining decrease in operating expenses was attributable to the reduction in the direct costs of services associated with the revenue decline and the impact of certain cost savings initiatives, including the reorganizations and reductions in force, that were implemented in the current and previous periods.  

As a result of the above, our US Telecom segment’s operating loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased to $1.7 million from $44.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024.

A discussion and analysis of our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 can be found under Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2025, which is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and our Investor Relations website at https://.ir.atni.com under the “Financials and Filings” section.

The following represents a year over year discussion and analysis of our results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

​

Communications Services Revenue

Mobility Revenue. Our Mobility revenue consists of revenue generated within our International Telecom segment by providing business and retail mobile voice and data services over our wireless networks as well as through the sale and repair services of related equipment, such as handsets and other accessories, to our subscribers. Wholesale Mobility revenue is recorded under Carrier Services Revenue.

Table of Contents

Mobility revenue decreased by $2.4 million, or 2.2%, to $107.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 from $110.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in Mobility revenue, within our segments, consisted of the following:

​

Mobility revenue within our International Telecom may decrease as a result of increased competition and regulatory changes partially offset by our continued network upgrades, marketing efforts, and conversion of our subscriber base to higher margin prepaid and postpaid plans.

We do not expect to record Mobility revenue within our US Telecom segment in the future.

Fixed Revenue. Fixed revenue is primarily generated by broadband, voice, and video service revenues provided to retail and business customers over our wireline networks. Fixed revenue within our US Telecom segment also includes awards from the CAF II program, the E-ACAM program, and the Alaska USF. In addition, and through early April 2024, Fixed revenue within the US Telecom segment also included revenue from the ECF and ACP. Within our International Telecom segment, Fixed revenue includes funding under the FCC’s High-Cost Program in the US Virgin Islands.

Fixed revenue decreased by $4.5 million, or 1.0%, to $453.9 million from $458.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This decrease primarily pertained to a $7.4 million decrease in Fixed revenue from business customers, partially offset by a $2.9 million increase in revenue from consumer customers and consisted of the following:

​

Fixed revenue within our International Telecom segment may increase due to investments in the fixed network combined with the demand for cloud services and smart home, business and city solutions to increase the demand for broadband and other data services from consumers, businesses and governments. However, such increases may be offset by a decrease in demand for our legacy services, as subscribers opt for alternative methods to receive video and audio content.

Within our US Telecom segment, Fixed revenue from business customers in Alaska and our western US operations may increase as we further deploy fiber and fiber-fed broadband with capital investment and government grant funding, which will improve access for both consumers and businesses.

Carrier Services Revenue. Carrier Services revenue is generated by both our International Telecom and US Telecom segments. Within our International Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue includes international long-

distance services, roaming revenues generated by other carriers’ customers roaming into our retail markets, transport services and access services provided to other telecommunications carriers. Within our US Telecom segment, Carrier Services revenue includes services provided under the FirstNet Agreement and Verizon CMS Agreement, wholesale roaming revenues, the provision of network switching services, tower lease revenue and other services provided to other carriers.

Carrier Services revenue increased by $1.5 million, or 1.1%, to $134.8 million from $133.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase, within our segments, consisted of the following:
