​ Lease liabilities represent the net present value of future payments due under long-term land 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, 2025, payments of $81.8 million (nine months ended September 30, 2024: $91.0 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. As of September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the maturities of the contractual cash flows of the lease liabilities, which for amounts as of September 30, 2025 include $18.7 million in respect of IHS Rwanda Limited's leases which are classified as held for sale (see note 20), were as follows: ​
