Uniti is the product of the August 2025 merger of the firm with Windstream, its former primary customer. The combined firm owns a 217,000 route-mile fiber network that primarily serves enterprise customers. This fiber business generates about 20% of consolidated revenue. Uniti also owns phone networks that reach about 4.5 million households, mostly in less-populated markets in the Southeast. Uniti is rapidly upgrading this network to offer fiber-based broadband services. Its fiber network reaches about 1.8 million locations in its service territory. Residential telecom services account for about a third of total revenue. Small business and wholesale services provided over the legacy phone network account for about 20% of revenue.
P/FFO (Price to Funds From Operations) is calculated by adding amortization and depreciation to the net income and then deducting the gains on the sale of properties. P/FFO can be quoted as the entire entity's figure in full or on a per-share basis.
In REITs, as the accounting net income is distorted, it ends up being inefficient to use the Earnings per share (EPS), so the FFO is used in the formula instead of the Net Income.
