Property, plant and equipment, net increased due primarily to capital expenditures driven by the Company’s assets acquired as a result of the Horizon Transaction and Glo Fiber market expansion. The Company’s accounts payable as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 included amounts associated with capital expenditures of approximately $55.1 million and $51.1 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense was $96.9 million, $62.9 million, and $65.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively. The Company disposed of fully depreciated property, plant and equipment assets, which reduced plant in service by approximately $34.2 million and $26.0 million, with a corresponding offset to accumulated depreciation and amortization, during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company ceased expansion of its Beam branded fixed wireless edge-out strategy, resulting in a phase out of operations and related assets through 2023. Consequently, Shentel recorded impairments of its Beam property, plant and equipment balances totaling $1.5 million and $4.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Shentel also recorded $7.4 million in accelerated depreciation related to these assets during the year ended December 31, 2022.
