Reported revenue growth of 5% to $1.2 billion, 1% higher on a rebased basis

Record mobile postpaid additions of 121,000

>160,000 homes passed or upgraded; 99% fiber-to-the-home

Puerto Rico and Costa Rica integration programs on-track

Acceleration of share buyback activity; >$55 million in quarter

Liberty Latin America Ltd. (“Liberty Latin America” or “LLA”) (NASDAQ: LILA and LILAK, OTC Link: LILAB) today announced its financial and operating results for the three months (“Q1”) ended March 31, 2022.

CEO Balan Nair commented, “We have made good progress against a number of our key operational objectives in the first quarter. Of note, we delivered record mobile postpaid growth, grew our fixed subscriber base, continued to expand our high-speed networks and progressed business integrations in Puerto Rico and Costa Rica.”

“Our sales initiatives and focus on delivering innovative offerings drove our best ever quarter of mobile postpaid additions with over 120,000 new subscribers. The residential fixed business was led by strong performances in Costa Rica, Puerto Rico and Panama. We continued to see a challenging environment in Chile where we reported net RGU losses over the quarter, however the launch of aggressive new offers in March drove record gross additions in the month.”

“With respect to our inorganic strategy, we continue to make good progress with the integrations of AT&T's Puerto Rico and USVI operations and Telefónica's Costa Rica assets, each of which we expect to drive significant synergies in the coming years. In addition, we are on-track to complete the transactions announced in Panama and Chile during H1 and H2, respectively.”

“Overall, we have had a steady start to the year and anticipate building operational and financial momentum through 2022. We remain confident in our medium-term outlook and accelerated our buyback activity in the first quarter, repurchasing over $55 million of our shares.”

Financial and Operating Highlights

Revenue Highlights

The following table presents (i) revenue of each of our segments and corporate operations for the periods indicated, and (ii) the percentage change from period-to-period on both a reported and rebased basis:

• Our reported revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by 5%.
  • Reported revenue growth in Q1 2022 was driven by (1) $72 million from the acquisition of Telefónica's Costa Rica operations on August 9, 2021, (2) organic growth across C&W Caribbean & Networks and Liberty Puerto Rico, (3) organic declines at VTR and (4) a net foreign exchange (“FX”) impact of $(29) million.

Q1 2022 Revenue Growth – Segment Highlights

• C&W Caribbean & Networks: revenue increased by 4% on a reported basis and 5% on a rebased basis.
  • Fixed residential revenue grew by 4% on a reported basis and 5% on a rebased basis, as compared to the prior-year period. Our performance was driven by volume growth, as new build / upgraded homes and continued residential demand for our products led to strong subscriber additions over the past twelve months.
  • Mobile revenue was 7% higher on a reported basis and 8% on a rebased basis, as compared to the prior-year period. Growth was primarily driven by a higher average number of mobile subscribers, resulting from sales initiatives including converged offerings.
  • B2B revenue was 2% and 4% higher on a reported and rebased basis, respectively, as compared to the prior-year period. Performance was driven by higher project-related revenue, and growth in fixed internet and mobile subscription services. This growth was partly offset by declines in subsea revenue year-over-year as increased demand for telecommunications capacity on our networks was more than offset by a $4 million net negative impact from IRU accelerations, largely in Q1 2021.

• C&W Panama: revenue was flat on a reported and rebased basis.
  • Fixed residential revenue was 9% higher on a reported and rebased basis. Growth was driven by increased subscribers, as we added 75,000 RGUs over the past twelve months, with traction from our high-speed data and video propositions.
  • Mobile revenue decreased by 3% on a reported and rebased basis. The decline was driven by reduced prepaid subscription revenue as growth in subscribers over the last twelve months was more than offset by lower ARPU from prepaid mobile services, mainly attributable to lower recharging activity. This decline was partly offset by strength in postpaid subscription revenue, which was up 25% year-over-year, driven by subscriber growth, mainly due to successfully migrating customers from prepaid to postpaid.
  • B2B revenue was 2% lower on a reported and rebased basis, as growth in fixed and mobile recurring revenue was offset by lower government project-related revenue.

• Liberty Puerto Rico: revenue grew by 2% and 1% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. Fixed revenue grew strongly, driven by subscriber growth as we added 59,000 RGUs over the last twelve months. This was partly offset by mobile, which was lower overall, as stable subscription revenue was more than offset by a $7 million reduction in equipment revenue and $3 million decline in inbound roaming revenue as compared to the prior-year period.

• VTR: revenue was 19% and 9% lower on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. Competitive pressures have led to declines in ARPU and subscriber levels over the last twelve months, negatively impacting year-over-year performance. Strategic initiatives implemented in the first quarter, including aggressively priced commercial propositions, improved gross subscriber additions, however, also contributed to lower ARPU.

• Costa Rica: revenue grew by 197% and 9% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. Reported performance benefited from the inclusion of Telefónica's Costa Rica operations in the quarter. The strong rebased growth was driven by increased customers across both our mobile and fixed businesses, year-over-year.

Operating Income

• Operating income was $188 million and $181 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
  • We reported higher operating income during Q1 2022, as compared with the corresponding period during 2021, primarily due to a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense as we ceased recording depreciation expense for the Chile JV Entities during the third quarter of 2021 when we began accounting for them as held for sale.

Adjusted OIBDA Highlights

The following table presents (i) Adjusted OIBDA of each of our reportable segments and our corporate category for the periods indicated, and (ii) the percentage change from period-to-period on both a reported and rebased basis:

• Our reported Adjusted OIBDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by 2%.
  • Reported Adjusted OIBDA was lower in Q1 2022, driven by an organic decline in VTR. This decline was partially offset by the addition of $17 million contributed by operations acquired from Telefónica in Costa Rica and organic growth at C&W Caribbean & Networks.

Q1 2022 Adjusted OIBDA Growth – Segment Highlights

• C&W Caribbean and Networks: Adjusted OIBDA increased on a reported and rebased basis by 6% and 8%, respectively, driven by the aforementioned rebased revenue growth. Our reported Adjusted OIBDA margin improved by 110 basis points to 43.3% despite increased direct costs mainly due to project-related B2B activity, and a rise in other operating costs and expenses, which were driven in part by higher utility costs.

• C&W Panama: Adjusted OIBDA was 8% lower on a reported and rebased basis. The decline was driven by higher other operating costs and expenses, primarily due to higher commission and staff costs related to sales activities.

• Liberty Puerto Rico: Adjusted OIBDA declined by 4% on a reported and rebased basis. Rebased Adjusted OIBDA was lower as revenue growth was more than offset by increased costs, including costs related to personnel, equipment and integration.

• VTR: Adjusted OIBDA declined on a reported and rebased basis by 34% and 26%, respectively. The rebased decline was driven by the aforementioned decrease in revenue. Direct and other operating costs were broadly flat year-over-year, as savings across a number of areas were offset by: (i) increased programming costs related to higher basic content costs and a settlement associated with a programming contract, and (ii) higher commercial costs, primarily due to the return of the Lollapalooza music festival, which had been postponed for the prior two years. As a result of the aforementioned settlement, we have lowered the costs of our video packages and now have the ability to create skinnier bundles.

• Costa Rica: Adjusted OIBDA grew by 114% and 24%, on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. Reported growth benefited from the inclusion of Telefónica's Costa Rica operations in the quarter. Our rebased performance was impacted by the aforementioned rebased revenue growth and margin improvement driven by the acquired operations, partly offset by $2 million of additional integration costs, as compared to the prior-year period.

Net Earnings Attributable to Shareholders

• Net earnings attributable to shareholders was $84 million and $89 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Subscriber Table

Glossary

Adjusted OIBDA Margin – Calculated by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenue for the applicable period.

ARPU – Average revenue per unit refers to the average monthly subscription revenue (subscription revenue excludes interconnect, mobile handset sales and late fees) per average customer relationship or mobile subscriber, as applicable. ARPU per average customer relationship is calculated by dividing the average monthly subscription revenue from residential fixed and SOHO fixed services by the average of the opening and closing balances for customer relationships for the indicated period. ARPU per average mobile subscriber is calculated by dividing the average monthly mobile service revenue by the average of the opening and closing balances for mobile subscribers for the indicated period. Unless otherwise indicated, ARPU per customer relationship or mobile subscriber is not adjusted for currency impacts. ARPU per average RGU is calculated by dividing the average monthly subscription revenue from the applicable residential fixed service by the average of the opening and closing balances of the applicable RGUs for the indicated period. Unless otherwise noted, ARPU in this release is considered to be ARPU per average customer relationship or mobile subscriber, as applicable. Customer relationships, mobile subscribers and RGUs of entities acquired during the period are normalized.

Consolidated Debt and Finance Lease Obligations to Operating Income Ratio – Defined as total principal amount of debt and finance lease obligations outstanding to annualized operating income from the most recent two consecutive fiscal quarters.

Consolidated Net Debt and Finance Lease Obligations to Operating Income Ratio – Defined as total principal amount of debt and finance lease obligations outstanding less cash and cash equivalents to annualized operating income from the most recent two consecutive fiscal quarters.

Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (VTR) – Defined in accordance with VTR's indenture for its senior notes, taking into account the ratio of its outstanding indebtedness (including the impact of its cross-currency swaps) less its cash and cash equivalents to its annualized EBITDA from the most recent two consecutive fiscal quarters.

Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (LPR) – Defined in accordance with LPR's Group Credit Agreement, taking into account the ratio of its outstanding indebtedness less its cash and cash equivalents to its annualized EBITDA from the most recent two consecutive fiscal quarters.

Customer Relationships – The number of customers who receive at least one of our video, internet or telephony services that we count as RGUs, without regard to which or to how many services they subscribe. To the extent that RGU counts include equivalent billing unit ("EBU") adjustments, we reflect corresponding adjustments to our customer relationship counts. For further information regarding our EBU calculation, see Additional General Notes below. Customer relationships generally are counted on a unique premises basis. Accordingly, if an individual receives our services in two premises (e.g., a primary home and a vacation home), that individual generally will count as two customer relationships. We exclude mobile-only customers from customer relationships.

Fully-swapped Borrowing Cost – Represents the weighted average interest rate on our debt (excluding finance leases and including vendor financing obligations), including the effects of derivative instruments, original issue premiums or discounts, which includes a discount on the convertible notes issued by Liberty Latin America associated with a conversion option feature, and commitment fees, but excluding the impact of financing costs.

Homes Passed – Homes, residential multiple dwelling units or commercial units that can be connected to our networks without materially extending the distribution plant. Certain of our homes passed counts are based on census data that can change based on either revisions to the data or from new census results.

Internet (Broadband) RGU – A home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives internet services over our network.

Leverage – Our gross and net leverage ratios, each a non-GAAP measure, are defined as total debt (total principal amount of debt and finance lease obligations outstanding, net of projected derivative principal-related cash payments (receipts)) and net debt to annualized Adjusted OIBDA of the latest two quarters. Net debt is defined as total debt (including the convertible notes) less cash and cash equivalents. For purposes of these calculations, debt is measured using swapped foreign currency rates, consistent with the covenant calculation requirements of our subsidiary debt agreements.

Mobile Subscribers – Our mobile subscriber count represents the number of active subscriber identification module (“SIM”) cards in service rather than services provided. For example, if a mobile subscriber has both a data and voice plan on a smartphone this would equate to one mobile subscriber. Alternatively, a subscriber who has a voice and data plan for a mobile handset and a data plan for a laptop (via a dongle) would be counted as two mobile subscribers. Customers who do not pay a recurring monthly fee are excluded from our mobile telephony subscriber counts after periods of inactivity ranging from 30 to 90 days, based on industry standards within the respective country. In a number of countries, our mobile subscribers receive mobile services pursuant to prepaid contracts.

NPS – Net promoter score.

Property and Equipment Addition Categories

• Customer Premises Equipment: Includes capitalizable equipment and labor, materials and other costs directly associated with the installation of such CPE;

• New Build & Upgrade: Includes capitalizable costs of network equipment, materials, labor and other costs directly associated with entering a new service area and upgrading our existing network;

• Capacity: Includes capitalizable costs for network capacity required for growth and services expansions from both existing and new customers. This category covers Core and Access parts of the network and includes, for example, fiber node splits, upstream/downstream spectrum upgrades and optical equipment additions in our international backbone connections;

• Baseline: Includes capitalizable costs of equipment, materials, labor and other costs directly associated with maintaining and supporting the business. Relates to areas such as network improvement, property and facilities, technical sites, information technology systems and fleet; and

• Product & Enablers: Discretionary capitalizable costs that include investments (i) required to support, maintain, launch or innovate in new customer products, and (ii) in infrastructure, which drive operational efficiency over the long term.

Proportionate Net Leverage Ratio (C&W) – Calculated in accordance with C&W's Credit Agreement, taking into account the ratio of outstanding indebtedness (subject to certain exclusions) less cash and cash equivalents to EBITDA (subject to certain adjustments) for the last two quarters annualized, with both indebtedness and EBITDA reduced proportionately to remove any noncontrolling interests' share of the C&W group.

Revenue Generating Unit (RGU) – RGU is separately a video RGU, internet RGU or telephony RGU. A home, residential multiple dwelling unit, or commercial unit may contain one or more RGUs. For example, if a residential customer in Chile subscribed to our video service, fixed-line telephony service and broadband internet service, the customer would constitute three RGUs. RGUs are generally counted on a unique premises basis such that a given premises does not count as more than one RGU for any given service. On the other hand, if an individual receives one of our services in two premises (e.g., a primary home and a vacation home), that individual will count as two RGUs for that service. Each bundled video, internet or telephony service is counted as a separate RGU regardless of the nature of any bundling discount or promotion. Non-paying subscribers are counted as RGUs during their free promotional service period. Some of these subscribers may choose to disconnect after their free service period. Services offered without charge on a long-term basis (e.g., VIP subscribers or free service to employees) generally are not counted as RGUs. We do not include subscriptions to mobile services in our externally reported RGU counts. In this regard, our RGU counts exclude our separately reported postpaid and prepaid mobile subscribers.

SOHO – Small office/home office customers.

Telephony RGU – A home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives voice services over our network. Telephony RGUs exclude mobile subscribers.

Two-way Homes Passed – Homes passed by those sections of our networks that are technologically capable of providing two-way services, including video, internet and telephony services.

U.S. GAAP – Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Video RGU – A home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives our video service over our network primarily via a digital video signal while subscribing to any recurring monthly service that requires the use of encryption-enabling technology. Video RGUs that are not counted on an EBU basis are generally counted on a unique premises basis. For example, a subscriber with one or more set-top boxes that receives our video service in one premises is generally counted as just one RGU.

Additional General Notes

Most of our operations provide telephony, broadband internet, mobile data, video or other B2B services. Certain of our B2B service revenue is derived from SOHO customers that pay a premium price to receive enhanced service levels along with video, internet or telephony services that are the same or similar to the mass marketed products offered to our residential subscribers. All mass marketed products provided to SOHO customers, whether or not accompanied by enhanced service levels and/or premium prices, are included in the respective RGU and customer counts of our operations, with only those services provided at premium prices considered to be “SOHO RGUs” or “SOHO customers.” To the extent our existing customers upgrade from a residential product offering to a SOHO product offering, the number of SOHO RGUs and SOHO customers will increase, but there is no impact to our total RGU or customer counts. With the exception of our B2B SOHO customers, we generally do not count customers of B2B services as customers or RGUs for external reporting purposes.

Certain of our residential and commercial RGUs are counted on an EBU basis, including residential multiple dwelling units and commercial establishments, such as bars, hotels, and hospitals, in Chile and Puerto Rico. Our EBUs are generally calculated by dividing the bulk price charged to accounts in an area by the most prevalent price charged to non-bulk residential customers in that market for the comparable tier of service. As such, we may experience variances in our EBU counts solely as a result of changes in rates.

While we take appropriate steps to ensure that subscriber and homes passed statistics are presented on a consistent and accurate basis at any given balance sheet date, the variability from country to country in (i) the nature and pricing of products and services, (ii) the distribution platform, (iii) billing systems, (iv) bad debt collection experience and (v) other factors add complexity to the subscriber and homes passed counting process. We periodically review our subscriber and homes passed counting policies and underlying systems to improve the accuracy and consistency of the data reported on a prospective basis. Accordingly, we may from time to time make appropriate adjustments to our subscriber and homes passed statistics based on those reviews.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

We include certain financial measures in this press release that are considered non-GAAP measures, including (i) Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA Margin and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions, (ii) Adjusted Free Cash Flow, (iii) rebased revenue and rebased Adjusted OIBDA growth rates, and (iv) consolidated leverage ratios. The following sections set forth reconciliations of the nearest GAAP measure to our non-GAAP measures as well as information on how and why management of the Company believes such information is useful to an investor

Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions

Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions, each a non-GAAP measure, are the primary measures used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment operating performance. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions are also key factors that are used by our internal decision makers to determine how to allocate resources to segments. As we use the term, Adjusted OIBDA is defined as operating income or loss before share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, provisions and provision releases related to significant litigation and impairment, restructuring and other operating items. Other operating items include (i) gains and losses on the disposition of long-lived assets, (ii) third-party costs directly associated with successful and unsuccessful acquisitions and dispositions, including legal, advisory and due diligence fees, as applicable, and (iii) other acquisition-related items, such as gains and losses on the settlement of contingent consideration. Our internal decision makers believe Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions are meaningful measures because they represent a transparent view of our recurring operating performance that is unaffected by our capital structure and allows management to (i) readily view operating trends, (ii) perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between segments and (iii) identify strategies to improve operating performance in the different countries in which we operate. We believe our Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions measures are useful to investors because they are one of the bases for comparing our performance with the performance of other companies in the same or similar industries, although our measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other public companies. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions should be viewed as measures of operating performance that are a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income or loss, net earnings or loss and other U.S. GAAP measures of income. A reconciliation of our operating income or loss to total Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions are presented in the following table:

Adjusted Free Cash Flow Definition and Reconciliation

We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Adjusted FCF), a non-GAAP measure, as net cash provided by our operating activities, plus (i) cash payments for third-party costs directly associated with successful and unsuccessful acquisitions and dispositions, (ii) expenses financed by an intermediary, (iii) insurance recoveries related to damaged and destroyed property and equipment, and (iv) certain net interest payments or receipts incurred or received, including associated derivative instrument payments and receipts, in advance of a significant acquisition, less (a) capital expenditures, (b) distributions to noncontrolling interest owners, (c) principal payments on amounts financed by vendors and intermediaries and (d) principal payments on finance leases. We believe that our presentation of Adjusted FCF provides useful information to our investors because this measure can be used to gauge our ability to service debt and fund new investment opportunities. Adjusted FCF should not be understood to represent our ability to fund discretionary amounts, as we have various mandatory and contractual obligations, including debt repayments, which are not deducted to arrive at this amount. Investors should view Adjusted FCF as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, U.S. GAAP measures of liquidity included in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The following table provides the reconciliation of our net cash provided by operating activities to Adjusted FCF for the indicated period:

Rebase Information

Rebase growth rates are a non-GAAP measure. For purposes of calculating rebased growth rates on a comparable basis for all businesses that we owned during the current year, we have adjusted our historical revenue and Adjusted OIBDA to include or exclude the pre-acquisition amounts of acquired or disposed business, as applicable, to the same extent they are included or excluded from the current year. The businesses that were acquired impacting the comparative period are as follows:

1. Telefónica Costa Rica, which was acquired on August 9, 2021; and
   
   
2. Broadband VI, LLC, which was acquired effective December 31, 2021.
