Lease liabilities represent the net present value of future payments due under long-term leases for leasehold land on which our towers are located and for other leasehold assets such as warehouses and offices. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2026, payments of $91.9 million (nine months ended September 30, 2025: $81.8 million) were made in respect of lease liabilities. These lease liabilities are unwound using incremental borrowing rates which represent the credit risk of the lessee entity and the length of the lease agreement.

The undiscounted contractual payments under the lease liabilities are as follows:
