Uniti Group (UNIT) Earnings: Q3 2026 Results

The quarter ended September 30, 2026 and Uniti Group published the results on November 9, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q3 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison.

• Uniti merged with Windstream on August 1, 2025, so Q3 2025 includes only two months of the Kinetic and Uniti Solutions businesses acquired from Windstream. Q3 2025 net income included a $1,685.4 million gain on settlement of the preexisting Windstream leases.
• Uniti reports no adjusted EPS. Its main non-GAAP measure is Adjusted EBITDA, $289.3 million in Q3 2026.

How Uniti Group splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q3 2026 against Q3 2025. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.

• Uniti Group's Kinetic revenue was $515 million in Q3 2026, up 39% from $370 million in Q3 2025, 61% of total revenue.
• Uniti Group's Fiber Infrastructure revenue was $202 million in Q3 2026, down 19% from $249 million in Q3 2025, 24% of total revenue.
• Uniti Group's Uniti Solutions revenue was $176 million in Q3 2026, up 29% from $136 million in Q3 2025, 21% of total revenue.

Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

From the earnings release

Revenue and diluted EPS for the last 5 quarters. Each date links to that quarter's release.

Total revenues and sales and GAAP diluted EPS, each as first reported in that quarter's release. Q3 2025 includes two months of the Windstream businesses and the one-time merger gain. Q1 2026 revenue includes sales-type lease revenue from a dark fiber IRU agreement with a large hyperscaler.

We do not hold a confirmed date for Uniti Group's next report. Companies post the date on their investor relations site a few weeks ahead, usually with the time of the conference call.

Each quarter keeps its own page with the figures as reported, so a link to one stays pointed at the same numbers after the next report.

• Q3 2026 (this page), reported Nov 9, 2026

Uniti Group has three segments since its merger with Windstream. Kinetic, the consumer and business broadband provider in approximately 1,400 markets across 18 states, contributed $515.3 million of Q3 2026 revenue. Fiber Infrastructure, made up of Uniti Wholesale and Uniti Fiber, contributed $201.5 million, and Uniti Solutions, mostly managed services revenue, $175.9 million. After $44.6 million of intersegment revenues, consolidated revenue was $848.1 million. (Uniti Q3 2026 release, Nov 9, 2026; Uniti Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 9, 2026; Uniti Form 10-K, 2025, Mar 2, 2026)

Uniti's revenue rose from $722.6 million largely because Q3 2025 held only two months of the Kinetic and Uniti Solutions businesses acquired on August 1, 2025, according to the 10-Q. On a pro forma basis the release says consolidated fiber revenue grew 6% and Kinetic consumer fiber revenue grew 22%. (Uniti Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 9, 2026; Uniti Q3 2026 release, Nov 9, 2026)

Kinetic is moving customers from DSL to fiber. Fiber subscriber revenue was $156.7 million and DSL subscriber and other revenue $112.4 million. Fiber consumer broadband customers rose 28% to 648.4 thousand at September 30, 2026, while DSL customers fell 40% to 307.1 thousand. Uniti passed approximately 2.2 million consumer premises with fiber, 47% of the Kinetic footprint, with a 29% fiber subscriber penetration rate. (Uniti Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 9, 2026)

Fiber Infrastructure revenue fell 19%. Uniti Wholesale revenue dropped to $103.9 million from $141.2 million because Windstream's lease payments ended with the merger, partly offset by $30.4 million from Windstream's acquired wholesale operations, and sales revenues fell to $2.3 million from $15.2 million because there were no sales-type leases in the quarter. Those leases, mainly a dark fiber IRU agreement with a large hyperscaler signed in Q1 2026, produced $88.2 million of revenue in the first nine months. (Uniti Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 9, 2026)

Uniti Group lost $1.03 per diluted share in Q3 2026, on a net loss of $244.5 million. The year-ago diluted EPS of $4.92 came from a one-time $1,685.4 million gain on the settlement of preexisting relationships with Windstream when the merger closed. Uniti does not report an adjusted EPS figure. (Uniti Q3 2026 release, Nov 9, 2026)

Uniti's interest expense, net was $205.5 million, against $168.2 million a year earlier, and depreciation and amortization was $292.8 million, against $202.3 million, as the fiber build continues. Preferred stock dividends of $15.8 million took the net loss attributable to common shareholders to $260.3 million, on 253.2 million weighted-average shares. (Uniti Q3 2026 release, Nov 9, 2026)

Uniti Group's Adjusted EBITDA, its main non-GAAP measure, was $289.3 million against $327.8 million. It excludes stock-based compensation of $7.8 million, transaction related and other costs of $19.7 million and a $12.4 million loss on asset retirements and dispositions. Contribution margin was $190.2 million at Kinetic, $98.4 million at Fiber Infrastructure and $85.9 million at Uniti Solutions. (Uniti Q3 2026 release, Nov 9, 2026)

Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.

Uniti Group gives a full-year consolidated outlook in its release. With Q3 2026 it raised its revenue guidance to $3,665 million to $3,695 million and guided Adjusted EBITDA of $1,460 million to $1,490 million, a net loss of $620 million to $590 million and interest expense, net of $800 million. Uniti says the update reflects business unit level revisions, recent financing transactions and transaction related costs incurred to date. (Uniti Q3 2026 release, Nov 9, 2026)

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Uniti Group, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.

The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

The figures below are the ones Uniti Group's own release and filings put weight on for Q3 2026, with the latest reported value for each.

What the quarter means for a holding is a separate question from what it reported. The case for and against owning UNIT is on is UNIT a buy or a sell?, what analysts expect next is on the UNIT forecast, and what the company does is on the Uniti Group (UNIT) stock page.

Every number on this page can be traced to a document Uniti Group published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.

• The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
• The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
• The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
• Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.
