Revenue Growth of 48% YoY
Radius Global Infrastructure, Inc. (NASDAQ:RADI) (“Radius” or the “Company”), one of the largest owners and acquirors of real property interests and contractual rights underlying essential telecommunications digital infrastructure assets in 21 countries, today reported financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021.
Bill Berkman, Co-Chairman and CEO of Radius Global Infrastructure, commented:
“We are pleased to report record revenue of $103.6 million in 2021, up 48% from 2020, with gross profit increasing to $101.1 million in 2021, up 46% from 2020. Our exceptional team of originators helped us to acquire communication sites which generate $34.3 million of annual rent, resulting in a record $474.0 million in Acquisition Capex, or an initial yield of 6.6% on net growth spend, which includes origination selling, general and administrative expenses.
In the fourth quarter, we increased revenue by 44% year-over-year, and we grew Annualized In-Place Rents by 40% to a record $117.9 million. These high quality, primarily triple net and inflation-protected cash flow streams underlying mission-critical sites provide us with a powerful platform to execute our digital infrastructure ground lease aggregation strategy. Including capital raised from our January 2022 borrowings, we have approximately $880 million in cash, the vast majority of which is available to deploy for making additional site acquisitions that meet our disciplined underwriting criteria, which targets attractive risk-adjusted levered returns for our shareholders.”
QUARTERLY RESULTS
Revenue increased 44% to $29.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2021, as compared to revenue of $20.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020.
Gross Profit rose 40% to $27.9 million in Q4 2021, as compared to gross profit of $19.9 million in the corresponding prior year period, while the Company generated a gross profit margin of approximately 96% in Q4 2021.
Annualized In-Place Rents increased to $117.9 million as of December 31, 2021, an increase of $33.8 million or 40% over the Annualized In-Place Rents of $84.1 million as of December 31, 2020.
FULL-YEAR RESULTS
Revenue increased 48% to $103.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to revenue of $69.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Gross Profit rose 46% to $101.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to gross profit of $69.1 million in the prior year.
Investments in Real Property Interests and Related Intangible Assets, as identified in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, was $469.7 million and $180.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. This represented an increase of $289.0 million, or 160%, for the year ended December 31, 2021 over the prior year.
Acquisition Capex was $474.0 million and $220.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, or an increase of $253.3 million, or 115%, for the year ended December 31, 2021 over the prior year.
Please refer to the GAAP financial disclosures and reconciliations to non-GAAP financial measurement set forth below and in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company pays for its acquisitions of real property interests either with a one-time payment at the time of acquisition or, under certain circumstances, with a combination of upfront payments and future contractually committed payments over a period of time, in each case pursuant to the individual acquisition agreement. In the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the one-time and upfront cash payments are reported as Investments in Real Property Interests and Related Intangible Assets. The total cash spent and the commitment for future payments in any given period for the acquisition of real property interests, adjusted for changes in foreign currency, is our Acquisition Capex. Acquisition Capex is a non-GAAP metric, albeit one the Company believes is valuable to readers of the Company's financial statements. Please refer to the table below for a full reconciliation of Acquisition Capex.
LIQUIDITY
As of December 31, 2021, Radius had $632.2 million of total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Pro forma for the January 2022 financing transaction discussed below, the Company had approximately $880 million in total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash.
FINANCING TRANSACTIONS
The summary below presents significant financing activities that occurred in 2021. In aggregate, these transactions generated $1.2 billion in net proceeds for the Company.
- In January 2022, Radius borrowed €225 million ($257.5 million as of the funding date) of the €750 million available under a new financing facility that the Company entered into in December 2021. The initial borrowing accrues interest at a fixed annual rate of approximately 3.2%, which will be payable quarterly and will mature in January 2030, at which time all outstanding principal amounts shall be repaid.
- In December 2021, the Company received approximately $188.7 million of cash proceeds resulting from the cumulative exercises of approximately 49.2 million outstanding warrants, resulting in the issuance of 16.4 million shares of Class A Common stock. All outstanding unexercised warrants were subsequently redeemed by the Company, as the price of the Company's Class A common stock met the $18.00 mandatory redemption threshold.
- In December 2021, Radius borrowed €97.2 million and £33.7 million in loans under existing debt facilities that mature in October 2031, resulting in an increase in the Company's outstanding debt of approximately $154.3 million. These borrowings accrue interest at a fixed annual rate of approximately 2.84% (for Euros) and 3.78% (for Pounds Sterling).
- In September 2021, the Company issued $264.5 million aggregate principal amount of 2.5% senior unsecured convertible notes. The notes are convertible by the holders into cash, shares of the Company's Class A common stock, or a combination thereof, at the Company's election. The Company used approximately $33.2 million of the net proceeds from the notes to pay the cost of capped call transactions that raised the effective conversion rate of the notes to $34.80 from $22.62, which is intended to limit potential dilution to Class A common stockholders.
- In May 2021, Radius issued 14.3 million shares of Class A Common Stock to certain institutional investors at a purchase price of $13.95 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $200.0 million. Total net offering proceeds were approximately $191.5 million after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses.
- In April 2021, the Company issued $75 million junior secured debt on its domestic rental streams with a 6% cash pay interest-only note that matures in April 2023.
- In February 2021, Radius issued €77 million (or $94 million) junior secured debt on its global rental streams with a 3.9% cash pay interest and 1.75% paid-in-kind note that matures in November 2028.
OUTLOOK FOR 2022
Based on the current pipeline of investment opportunities, management anticipates that the recent pace of Acquisition Capex will be maintained for at least the next several quarters. Specifically, Radius is targeting the deployment of at least $400 million of Acquisition Capex during 2022 with the potential for some variability as a result of the timing of closing larger transactions.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND DISCLAIMERS
Certain matters discussed in this press release, including the attachments, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) that are subject to risks and uncertainties. For these statements, we claim the protections of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in such Sections. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of our business, financial condition, liquidity, capital expenditures, results of operations, plans and objectives. In some cases, these forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, including the terms “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continue,” “intend,” “should,” “may” or similar expressions, their negative or other variations or comparable terminology.
Forward-looking statements are subject to significant risks and uncertainties and are based on beliefs, assumptions and expectations based upon our historical performance and on our current plans, estimates and expectations in light of information available to us. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. Except as required by law, we are not obligated to, and do not intend to, update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties and assumptions relating to our operations, financial results, financial condition, business, prospects, growth strategy and liquidity. Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.
Certain important factors that we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements are summarized below, including the ongoing impact of the current outbreak of COVID-19 on the U.S., regional and global economies, the U.S. sustainable infrastructure market and the broader financial markets. The current outbreak of COVID-19 has also impacted, and is likely to continue to impact, directly or indirectly, many of the other important factors below and the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Annual Report”) and in our subsequent filings under the Exchange Act. Other factors besides those listed could also adversely affect us. We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. In particular, it is difficult to fully assess the impact of COVID-19 at this time due to, among other factors, uncertainty regarding the severity and duration of the outbreak domestically and internationally, uncertainty regarding the effectiveness of federal, state and local governments' efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 and respond to its direct and indirect impact on the U.S. economy and economic activity, including the availability, distribution, acceptance and efficacy of vaccines (including boosters); and responses to new or mutated strains of COVID-19 (such as the delta and omicron variants) or a similar virus (including vaccine-resistant strains).
Important other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the extent to which wireless carriers or tower companies consolidate their operations, exit the wireless communications business or share site infrastructure to a significant degree; the extent to which new technologies reduce demand for wireless infrastructure; competition for assets; whether the tenant leases for the wireless communication tower or antennae located on our real property interests are renewed with similar rates or at all; the extent of unexpected lease cancellations, given that substantially all of the tenant leases associated with our assets may be terminated upon limited notice by the wireless carrier or tower company and unexpected lease cancellations could materially impact cash flow from operations; economic, political, cultural and other risks to our operations outside the U.S., including risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and local inflation rates; any regulatory uncertainty; the extent to which we continue to grow at an accelerated rate, which may prevent us from achieving profitability or positive cash flow at a company level (as determined in accordance with GAAP) for the foreseeable future; the fact that we have incurred a significant amount of debt and may in the future incur additional indebtedness; the extent to which the terms of our debt agreements limit our flexibility in operating our business; and the other factors, risks and uncertainties described in the Annual Report.
