Overview a Tower operational set-up in Africa
Three Tenants on a Tower
Tenant 2
Tenant 1
Tenant 3
Tower Structure - Galvanized steel with the capacity for
multiple tenants, diesel-run generator, fuel saving technology
and battery
Tenant Cabinets - Tenant shelters containing base-station
equipment (some tenants use outdoor equipment)
Leased Land - leased for c.10 years, the land is fenced and
often protected by security personnel
Solar Panel
Oil tank Due to the lack of infrastructure and power
supply, each tower has to be self-sufficient.
IHS power saving initiatives helped in
reducing diesel consumption by close to 50%
Antenna equipment belonging to MNOs
Generator - Providing Energy to the tower
5Investor Day 2013 – December, 5
IHS: four different business models
Managed services (MS)
 Manage existing towers
on behalf of MNOs
 IHS does not own the towers and
cannot lease them to other MNOs
Managed with
License to Lease (MLL)
 Enter into an agreement
with MNOs to manage
their towers
 IHS does not own the
towers but can lease
them to other MNOs
 Example of customer:
Orange
Buy and Leaseback
(BLB)
 Acquire and lease back
existing towers to MNOs
 Towers are fully owned
by IHS
 Example of customer :
MTN
Build To Suit (BTS)
 Build new towers and
lease them to MNOs
 Towers are fully owned
by IHS

6Investor Day 2013 – December, 5
 Leasing space instead of owning the towers has enabled
Operators to convert resources from CAPEX/OPEX to deliver
better services to consumers
 Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) defined as all Opex per month
plus BTS & Maintenance Capex has become an important
metric scrutinized by Operators
MNOs prefer to lease instead of to build

Existing Country Expansion Identifying New Markets
 Approving strong opportunities
in existing markets
 Both a growth and defensive
strategy, growing IHS’ existing
businesses whilst minimizing the
impact of competitors
 Geographic expansion in
attractive new markets
 Must make commercial and
economic sense given the
number of opportunities in
home and new markets
 Assessed in conjunction with
key MNO relationships and
plans
 Assessment based on each
individual market but also the
ability to open up further
markets with the MNO

coverage
Data growth
Rollout of 3G & 4G
Favourable MNO
and regulatory
dynamics
 Operators are expanding coverage to rural areas and 2nd / 3rd tier cities
 Lower population densities in these areas make collocation attractive to
MNOs as unit tower revenue will be lower
 3G in only starting to be launched with penetration rate currently at 4%
 Wireless data is the primary method of accessing the internet in Africa
 3G data services require 3x a many towers compared to voice only service
 African telecom sector represents a $34bn industry, growing at a CAGR of 8%
 Multiple creditworthy tier 1 & tier 2 MNOs increasingly willing to share towers
 Multiple Wimax players and 2G/3G operators that are set to enter the market
Long term,
contracted cash
flows
Compelling unit
economics
 10 to 15-years contracts with MNOs result in low risk and annuity-like revenues
 High switching costs due to network redesign requirements upon switching
 Negative working capital as customers pay up to 6 months in advance
 A tower is EBITDA positive with 1 tenant
 As most costs are fixed, tower gross profit increases with the addition of other
tenants
AfricanTelecomMarketTowerCoModel
Clear value
proposition for
mobile operators
 Focus on cost control through tower outsourcing as ARPUs are declining
 Decreased opex as multi-tenancy allows to lease towers for less than their
current operating costs
 Focus on core business / Improved quality of service

IHS has the ambition and potential to strengthen its position of leading

IHS to strengthen its position of the leading
Pan-African Tower Operator
 The African telecom market is expected to grow significantly over the coming
years, requiring the deployment of telecom infrastructure to support mobile
network capacity and coverage expansion
 IHS, as an independent towerco, will benefit from a fundamental trend
towards tower-sharing and infrastructure outsourcing from the Mobile Network
Operators:
– To date, only 14,500 towers (8% of total) have been outsourced in Africa
– 170,000 towers are expected to be outsourced in the coming years
 IHS expects to grow its portfolio to 20,000 towers on a pan-African scale over
the coming years:
– Anchor tenants will be creditworthy leading operators only
– Combination of Buy and Lease Back (BLB), Manage with License to Lease (MLL) and
Build to Suit (BTS)
