−Removed: effort when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of the Company’s forecasts of future cash flows as well as the selection of the tenant growth rates and discount rates, including the need to involve our fair value specialists.
+Added: The Company’s contracts with major tenants are often governed by a master lease agreement that contains terms and provisions governing the tenant’s right to use the Company’s telecommunications sites and the land on which the sites are located (the “lease component”) and the tenant’s responsibility for reimbursement of various costs incurred by the Company in operating the telecommunications towers and supporting the tenant’s equipment as well as other services and contractual rights (the “non-lease components”).
+Added: The master lease agreements contain both lease and non-lease components, may contain unusual or non-standard terms, and often pertain to many of the Company’s telecommunications sites.
+Added: In the current year, the Company amended a master lease agreement with a major tenant.
+Added: Management of the Company exercised significant judgment in determining the appropriate revenue recognition for the amended master lease agreement, including the following:
+Added: • Determination of the lease and non-lease components and whether they should be accounted for as a combined lease component or separately.
+Added: • Determination of the stand-alone selling prices for each performance obligation in the master lease agreement if not accounted for with the lease component.
+Added: • Determination of the fixed and variable consideration in the master lease agreement, the impact of cancellation and renewal provisions, the estimated term of each of the individual contracts impacted by the master lease agreement, and the pattern of recognition for each lease component or performance obligation.
+Added: We identified the amended master lease agreement with a major tenant as a critical audit matter because the audit effort required to evaluate the Company’s judgments in determining the appropriate revenue recognition for the impact of a multi-faceted, complex master lease agreement entered into with the major tenant was extensive.
How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
−Removed: Our principal audit procedures related to the forecasts of future cash flows for the intangible assets and the selection of the tenant growth rates and discount rates included the following, among others:

−Removed: • With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation methodology, tenant growth rates and discount rates by:
−Removed: ◦ Testing the source information underlying the determination of the tenant growth rates and discount rates and testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculations.

+Added: Recoverability of goodwill and long-lived assets – India Reporting Unit - Refer to Notes 1, 3, 5, 16, and 22 to the financial statements.
+Added: Critical Audit Matter Description
+Added: The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at least annually or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable.
+Added: Additionally, the Company reviews other long-lived assets to be held and used and which are subject to depreciation or amortization, such as property and equipment, tenant-related intangible assets, network location intangible assets, and right-of-use assets on operating leases for impairment whenever events, changes in circumstances or other evidence indicate that the carrying amount of the Company’s assets may not be recoverable.
+Added: The Company's evaluation of recovery of goodwill involves the comparison of the carrying amount of a reporting unit inclusive of allocated goodwill to the fair value of the applicable reporting unit.
+Added: The Company’s evaluation of the recovery of long-lived assets, involves a comparison of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset.
+Added: If these assets are determined to be impaired, the amount of impairment recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds their fair value.
+Added: Fair value is generally determined using forecasted cash flows discounted using an estimated weighted average cost of capital.
+Added: As of December 31, 2022, the India reporting unit had goodwill of approximately $881.6 million.
+Added: As the fair value of the India reporting unit exceeded its’ carrying amount as of December 31, 2022, the Company determined that its related goodwill was not impaired.
+Added: Other long-lived assets to be held and used in India at December 31, 2022 consisted of property and equipment, tenant-related intangible assets, network location intangible assets, and right of use assets of approximately $924.4 million, $379.5 million, $266.7 million and $668.9 million, respectively, after impairments were recorded during the year then ended of $58.6 million, $411.6 million, $38.4 million and $0.0 million, respectively.
+Added: We identified the evaluation of the recovery of goodwill and long-lived assets held in the Company’s India reporting unit, along with any related impairments, as a critical audit matter due to the significant judgments made by management to estimate the timing and amount of cash flows and related estimated fair values used in the impairment analyses.
+Added: There was a high degree of auditor judgment in evaluating management's assumptions and estimates related to future tenant retention rates (specifically, a high degree of subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate future revenues related to variability in receipts from a significant tenant in India), revenue growth rates, margin projections, the timing of future cash flows, the discount rate used and the determination of market multiples for the India reporting unit and related long-lived assets.
+Added: How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit
+Added: Our audit procedures related to the assumptions and estimates of future tenant retention rates, revenue growth rates, and margin projections used to estimate the timing and extent of future cash flows, and the discount rate and the determination of market multiples used by management to estimate fair value, included the following, among others:
+Added: • We tested the effectiveness of internal controls over management’s goodwill impairment evaluation, including those over the determination of the fair value of the India reporting unit.
+Added: • We tested the effectiveness of internal controls over management’s long-lived asset impairment evaluation.
+Added: • We evaluated management’s ability to forecast future tenant retention rates, revenue growth rates, margin projections and timing of future cash flows by comparing actual results to management’s historical forecasts.
+Added: • We evaluated the reasonableness of management’s use of tenant retention rates, growth rates, margin projections and timing of future cash flows by comparing the forecasts to:
+Added: ◦ Historical results.
