BARCELONA (Reuters) -Europe's largest mobile phone tower operator Cellnex said on Friday it picked Marco Patuano, its former chairman and a Telecom Italia (TIM) veteran, as the new chief executive, capping weeks of board tensions over the succession process.

BARCELONA (Reuters) -Spain's Cellnex said on Thursday it could designate a new chief executive in "a few days", completing a search which prompted resignations from the board of Europe's largest mobile phone tower operator. The announcement came as Cellnex unveiled first-quarter results, with core earnings rising and net loss narrowing from a year ago, and said it was on track towards its 2025 outlook.

ReutersActivist hedge fund TCI gains Cellnex board seat
Spain's Cellnex on Wednesday said it gave a board seat to activist hedge fund TCI, the mobile phone tower operator's largest shareholder, which has pressured the company's top management leading to the resignation of two independent members this month. Internal turmoil has marred Europe's largest mobile phone tower operator after TCI in March sought to remove its chair and two board members, arguing the board had mishandled the search for a new CEO, resulting in insufficient progress. TCI requested in March that its representative Jonathan Amouyal join the board, which Cellnex's board approved on Wednesday, a day before announcing its first-quarter results.

A final decision has not been taken and Cellnex could still choose not to hire an adviser, the sources added.

ReutersCellnex expects to post profit in three to four years time
BARCELONA (Reuters) -Cellnex, Europe's largest mobile phone tower operator, expects to make a net profit in three or four years as the company shifts its focus away from expanding via acquisitions towards cutting debt. Chief Executive Tobias Martinez said the loss narrowed in 2022 - from 363 million euros in 2021 - due to the slower expansion rate and that the trend should continue in the subsequent years as the company focuses on the countries where it is already present. After borrowing heavily to build the largest cellphone mast network in Europe, mainly through acquisitions, Barcelona-based Cellnex in November shifted its strategy in a rising interest rate environment towards getting a credit rating upgrade.

After borrowing heavily to build the largest cellphone mast network in Europe, mainly through acquisitions, Barcelona-based Cellnex said in November it had adopted a "more conservative financial risk profile" in a higher interest rate environment. Cellnex said then its near-term priority was to get a credit rating upgrade from S&P rather than seek further expansion.
ReutersCellnex says inflation has shut down European phone masts market - FT
The European mobile towers market is "pretty much closed" as rising inflation makes it harder for companies to finance new deals and the availability of assets declines, the chief executive of Cellnex told the Financial Times. Negative interest rates over the past few years meant that "money was almost free", added the CEO of Cellnex, Europe's largest mobile phone tower operator, allowing the company to buy up 130,000 towers across 12 countries. When interest rates were low and debt was cheap, mobile towers were among the most attractive assets in telecoms.

It expects to obtain this upgrade within 12 to 24 months, which should help it access a larger market with competitive rates, Chief Financial Officer Jose Manuel Aisa told analysts.
