Continued subscriber momentum; 158,000 fixed and mobile additions in Q3

Revenue up 32% YTD driven by Puerto Rico acquisition, rebased revenue up 4%

Strong YoY growth in cash flows from operating activities and Adjusted FCF

~600,000 homes passed or upgraded YTD; 99% fiber-to-the-home

Announced Panama and Chile transactions; anticipate significant synergies

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 (“Q3”) and nine months (“YTD”) ended September 30, 2021.

CEO Balan Nair commented, “Since reporting our first half results in August, we have made significant progress with our strategic objectives and enhanced our medium-term prospects through operational improvements and accretive M&A transactions.”

“From an organic perspective, we have continued to generate healthy fixed subscriber growth with 84,000 RGU additions in the third quarter, including positive contributions from each of our reporting segments. Panama had a particularly strong performance, adding more subscribers in the third quarter than the first half of the year as we gained traction with our broadband-led bundled propositions. In mobile, we grew our base by 74,000 subscribers, with postpaid representing approximately half of the additions.”

“The penetration of fixed and mobile data services remains relatively low across our markets and we are committed to investing in our networks and product offerings to deliver greater access to high-speed connectivity solutions for our customers. In the year-to-date period, we added or upgraded approximately 600,000 homes.”

“Our cash flow from operations and Adjusted Free Cash Flow, in the first nine months of the year, were $718 million and $149 million, respectively, representing strong growth year-over-year, and we are on-track to exceed our 2021 Adjusted Free Cash Flow guidance of approximately $200 million. We also doubled our share repurchase activity in Q3 as compared to Q2.”

“Our inorganic strategy is an important driver of value creation and we were pleased to complete the acquisition of Telefónica's Costa Rica operations as well as announcing the acquisition of América Móvil's Panama business and a 50/50 joint venture with América Móvil in Chile, both of which are expected to close next year. These transactions will enable us to improve our networks and customer propositions, including completing our product portfolios to create converged businesses in Costa Rica and Chile, while also generating significant synergies.”

“As we approach the end of the year, we are focused on delivering our guidance targets and establishing a platform for sustained organic growth across our operations. We are also working diligently to integrate the operations we have acquired in Puerto Rico and Costa Rica as well as to close the transactions announced in Panama and Chile. We remain confident that together, these actions will create additional value and position us to deliver higher Adjusted Free Cash Flow in the coming years.”

N.M. – Not Meaningful.

Our reported revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by 34% and 32%, respectively.

Reported revenue growth in Q3 2021 and YTD 2021 was driven by (1) the addition of $232 million and $708 million, respectively, from Liberty Mobile, which was acquired on October 31, 2020, (2) $41 million for each comparative period from the acquisition of Telefónica's Costa Rica operations on August 9, 2021, (3) organic growth across Liberty Puerto Rico, C&W Caribbean & Networks and C&W Panama, (4) organic declines at VTR and (5) net foreign exchange (“FX”) impacts of ($5 million) and $24 million, respectively.

Q3 2021 Revenue Growth – Segment Highlights

C&W Caribbean & Networks: revenue grew on a reported and rebased basis by 3% and 4%, respectively. The lower reported growth was primarily driven by adverse currency movements.

B2B revenue was 2% and 3% higher on a reported and rebased basis, respectively, as compared to the prior-year period. Performance was driven by growth in revenue from fixed and mobile B2B services and increased demand for capacity over our subsea network as economic activity continues to steadily recover.
Fixed residential revenue grew by 2% and 3% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively, as compared to the prior-year period. Our investments to expand and upgrade our networks are helping to drive volume growth which was the driver of performance. Within the segment, Jamaica was once again the largest contributor, adding 24,000 RGUs in the quarter and 100,000 RGUs over the past twelve months.
Mobile was the best performing product in the quarter, as revenue rose by 8% on a reported basis and 9% on a rebased basis, as compared to the prior-year period. Growth was driven by higher average numbers of mobile subscribers, mostly due to sales initiatives, including converged offerings.

C&W Panama: revenue increased by 8% on a reported basis and 9% on a rebased basis.

B2B revenue was 15% higher on a reported and rebased basis, primarily due to increased revenue related to long-term projects, including Government-related projects, and growth in mobile services revenue.
Fixed residential revenue was 9% and 10% higher on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. This was driven by volume growth as we added 70,000 subscribers in the past twelve months, and gained traction with our high-speed data propositions.
Mobile revenue grew by 2% on a reported and rebased basis. Subscription revenue was relatively flat year-over-year as growth in subscribers was offset by lower prepaid ARPU as we stopped providing certain value-added services. Non-subscription revenue grew through handset sales and increased inbound roaming as travel restrictions related to COVID-19 were relaxed.

Liberty Puerto Rico: revenue grew by 214% and 2% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. Reported growth benefited from the inclusion of Liberty Mobile in the quarter. Rebased revenue performance was driven by double-digit growth in our legacy fixed operations partly offset by a decline at Liberty Mobile as subscription revenue growth was offset by lower equipment, B2B and roaming revenue year-over-year.
VTR: revenue was 4% and 5% lower on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. While our fixed subscriber base was stable over the last quarter, competitive pressures have led to declines in subscribers and ARPU levels over the last twelve months, negatively impacting year-over-year performance.
Costa Rica: revenue grew by 119% and 11% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. Reported growth benefited from the inclusion of Telefónica's Costa Rica operations for part of the quarter. The double-digit rebased increase was driven by volume growth in both our mobile and fixed businesses.

Operating Income (Loss)

Operating income (loss) was $137 million and $87 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $476 million and ($12 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We reported higher operating income during three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared with the corresponding periods during 2020, primarily due to increases in Adjusted OIBDA, as further discussed below, and for the nine-month comparison, lower impairment, restructuring and other operating items, net. During the third quarter of 2020, we incurred goodwill impairment charges totaling $279 million at C&W Panama and various reporting units within the C&W Caribbean and Networks segment. These improvements were partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted OIBDA Highlights

Adjusted OIBDA margin	37.4		%		40.6		%						38.6			%	39.6		%

Our reported Adjusted OIBDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 increased by 24% and 29%, respectively.

Reported Adjusted OIBDA increases in Q3 2021 and YTD 2021 were largely driven by (1) the addition of $77 million and $261 million, respectively, contributed by Liberty Mobile, and (2) organic growth in Liberty Puerto Rico, C&W Caribbean & Networks, and C&W Panama. These increases were partially offset by declines in VTR.

Q3 2021 Adjusted OIBDA Growth – Segment Highlights

C&W Caribbean and Networks: Adjusted OIBDA increased on a reported and rebased basis by 2% and 3%, respectively. Rebased growth was driven by the aforementioned rebased revenue performance. Direct costs increased year-over-year due to higher volumes of traffic across our networks. Other operating costs and expenses were also higher, as compared to the prior-year period, due to network-related costs, including the impact of subsea cable repairs, and promotional activity which increased commercial costs.
C&W Panama: Adjusted OIBDA was 11% higher on a reported and rebased basis. Performance was driven by revenue growth and management of other operating costs and expenses, which remained flat year-over-year. Direct costs increased due to higher equipment sales and non-recurring project revenue. Our Adjusted OIBDA margin improved by 100 basis points (on a reported basis) year-over-year.
Liberty Puerto Rico: reported and rebased Adjusted OIBDA growth of 145% and 3%, respectively. Reported growth was driven by the inclusion of Liberty Mobile in the quarter. Rebased performance was driven by the previously mentioned revenue growth, partly offset by the net impact of higher: mobile roaming expenses, video programming rates, and labor costs; and lower equipment costs. We incurred integration costs of $2 million related to the Liberty Mobile acquisition in the quarter mainly related to our rebranding, and expect to incur approximately $10 million of additional integration costs in the fourth quarter.
VTR: Adjusted OIBDA declined by 18% on both a reported and rebased basis. The rebased decline was driven by the aforementioned revenue decline and higher costs. Direct costs increased year-over-year driven by higher programming expenses as live soccer matches returned following cancellations due to COVID-19 in the prior year. Other operating costs and expenses were relatively flat on a rebased basis as lower bad debt provisions year-over-year and cost savings from a restructuring program earlier in the year were offset by increased network and commercial activities.
- Relative to Q2, we had a modest increase in Adjusted OIBDA in local currency.
Costa Rica: reported Adjusted OIBDA growth of 74% and rebased growth of 13%. Reported growth benefited from the inclusion of Telefónica's Costa Rica operations in the quarter. Our rebased performance was driven by the aforementioned revenue growth.

Net Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Shareholders

Net earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders was $78 million and ($85 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $170 million and ($658 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

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 (i) determine how to allocate resources to segments and (ii) evaluate the effectiveness of our management for purposes of incentive compensation plans. 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 (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:

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2021			2020			2021			2020
	in millions

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	274.1		$	137.4		$	717.8		$	491.0
Cash payments for direct acquisition and disposition costs	11.9			17.5			22.1			21.7
Expenses financed by an intermediary¹	27.5			26.0			81.9			78.1
Capital expenditures	(210.5		)	(146.9		)	(544.7		)	(418.3		)
Distributions to noncontrolling interest owners	—			(1.6		)	(1.3		)	(2.3		)
Principal payments on amounts financed by vendors and intermediaries	(49.1		)	(51.7		)	(137.0		)	(143.4		)
Pre-acquisition interest payments, net²	2.4			(2.1		)	11.2			34.1
Principal payments on finance leases	(0.5		)	(0.6		)	(1.5		)	(1.7		)
Adjusted FCF	$	55.8		$	(22.0	)	$	148.5		$	59.2

For purposes of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, expenses, including value-added taxes, financed by an intermediary are treated as an operating cash outflows and financing cash inflows when the expenses are incurred. When we pay the financing intermediary, we record financing cash outflows in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. For purposes of our Adjusted FCF definition, we add back the operating cash outflows when these financed expenses are incurred and deduct the financing cash outflows when we pay the financing intermediary.

The amount for the 2021 period relates to (i) the Cabletica Term Loan B-1 Facility and Cabletica Term Loan B-2 Facility that were entered into in advance of the Telefónica Costa Rica Acquisition, and (ii) the portion of interest paid in April 2021 that relates to pre-acquisition debt for the AT&T Acquisition. The amount for the 2020 period represents interest paid on pre-acquisition debt related to the AT&T Acquisition, net of interest received on cash held in escrow in advance of the closing of the AT&T Acquisition.

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 2021, we have adjusted our historical revenue and Adjusted OIBDA (i) to include the pre-acquisition revenue and Adjusted OIBDA of Telefónica Costa Rica, which was acquired on August 9, 2021, in our rebased amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, (ii) to include the pre-acquisition revenue and Adjusted OIBDA of the AT&T Acquired Entities, which were acquired on October 31, 2020, in our rebased amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, (iii) to include the pre-acquisition revenue and Adjusted OIBDA of a small B2B operation in the Cayman Islands that was acquired during 2020 in our rebased amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, (iv) to exclude the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA of certain B2B operations in Puerto Rico that were disposed of in January 2021 in connection with the AT&T Acquisition from our rebased amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, (v) to exclude the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA associated with our DTH operations in Panama, which were shut down in January 2021 from our rebased amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and (vi) to reflect the translation of our rebased amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 at the applicable average foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate our results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. We have reflected the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA of acquired entities in our 2020 rebased amounts based on what we believe to be the most reliable information that is currently available to us (generally pre-acquisition financial statements), as adjusted for the estimated effects of (a) any significant differences between U.S. GAAP and local generally accepted accounting principles, (b) any significant effects of acquisition accounting adjustments, (c) any significant differences between our accounting policies and those of the acquired entities and (d) other items we deem appropriate. We do not adjust pre-acquisition periods to eliminate nonrecurring items or to give retroactive effect to any changes in estimates that might be implemented during post-acquisition periods. As we did not own or operate the acquired entities during the pre-acquisition periods, no assurance can be given that we have identified all adjustments necessary to present their revenue and Adjusted OIBDA on a basis that is comparable to the corresponding post-acquisition amounts that are included in our historical results or that the pre-acquisition financial statements we have relied upon do not contain undetected errors. In addition, the rebased growth percentages are not necessarily indicative of the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA that would have occurred if these transactions had occurred on the dates assumed for purposes of calculating our rebased amounts or the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA that will occur in the future. The rebased growth percentages have been presented as a basis for assessing growth rates on a comparable basis and should be viewed as measures of operating performance that are a supplement to, and not a substitute for, U.S. GAAP reported growth rates.

The following tables provide the aforementioned adjustments made to the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA amounts for the periods indicated, to derive our rebased growth rates. Due to rounding, certain rebased growth rate percentages may not recalculate.

1.	The acquisition-related adjustment for Liberty Puerto Rico with respect to the AT&T Acquired Entities includes $6 million and $17 million, respectively, of estimated standalone costs that are not covered by the transitional services agreement with AT&T. These costs represent activities that AT&T had performed on behalf of the AT&T Acquired Entities during the pre-acquisition periods. Costs associated with these activities are being directly incurred by us in post-acquisition periods and include insurance coverage, certain commissions costs, group audit and control activities and various other support activities, including for legal, human resources, customer service, supply chain and finance.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation for Consolidated Leverage Ratios

We have set forth below our consolidated leverage and net leverage ratios, which include VTR. Our consolidated leverage and net leverage ratios, each a non-GAAP measure, are defined as (i) adjusted total debt and finance lease obligations (total carrying value of debt and finance lease obligations plus discounts, premiums and deferred finance costs, less projected derivative principal-related cash receipts) less cash and cash equivalents divided by (ii) last two quarters annualized Adjusted OIBDA as of September 30, 2021. For purposes of these calculations, adjusted total debt and finance lease obligations is measured using swapped foreign currency rates. We believe our consolidated leverage and net leverage ratios are useful because they allow our investors to consider the aggregate leverage on the business inclusive of any leverage at the Liberty Latin America level, not just at each of our operations. Investors should view consolidated leverage and net leverage as supplements to, and not substitutes for, the ratios calculated based upon measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reconciliations of the numerator and denominator used to calculate the consolidated leverage and net leverage ratios as of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021 are set forth below:

	September 30, 2021¹			June 30, 2021

The adjusted total debt and finance lease obligations and net debt and finance lease obligations balances include VTR balances that are included in assets and liabilities held for sale, as applicable, on our September 30, 2021 condensed consolidated balance sheet in our most recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The VTR balances included in these held for sale accounts are as follows:

Total debt and finance lease obligations	$	1,502.0
Discounts, premiums and deferred financing costs, net	24.2
Projected derivative principal-related cash payments²	(26.4		)
Adjusted total debt and finance lease obligations	1,499.8
Less:
Cash and cash equivalents	154.0
Net debt and finance lease obligations	$	1,345.8

1.	Amounts represent the U.S. dollar equivalents and are based on interest rates and exchange rates that were in effect as of September 30, 2021 and June 30, 2021, respectively. For a discussion of our projected cash flows associated with derivative instruments, please see Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Projected Cash Flows Associated with Derivative Instruments in our most recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
2.	Operating income is the closest U.S. GAAP measure to Adjusted OIBDA, as discussed in Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions above. Accordingly, we have presented consolidated debt and finance lease obligations to operating income and consolidated net debt and finance lease obligations to operating income as the most directly comparable financial ratios to our non-GAAP consolidated leverage and consolidated net leverage ratios.
3.	Adjusted OIBDA is a non-GAAP measure. See Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions above for reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA to the nearest U.S. GAAP measure for the three months ended September 30, 2021. A reconciliation of our operating income to Adjusted OIBDA for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021 is presented in the following table:

	Three months ended March 31, 2021		Three months ended June 30, 2021

Operating income	$	178.2	$	160.2
Share-based compensation expense	23.0		32.8

Non-GAAP Reconciliations for Borrowing Groups

We provide certain financial measures in this press release of our borrowing groups. The financial statements of each of our borrowing groups are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We include certain financial measures for our borrowing group in this press release that are considered non-GAAP measures, including: (i) Adjusted OIBDA; (ii) Adjusted OIBDA Margin; and (iii) Proportionate Adjusted OIBDA.

Adjusted OIBDA by Borrowing Group

Adjusted OIBDA and proportionate Adjusted OIBDA at a borrowing group level are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted OIBDA is defined as operating income or loss before share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, related-party fees and allocations, provisions and provision releases related to significant litigation and impairment, restructuring and other operating items. Proportionate Adjusted OIBDA is defined as Adjusted OIBDA less the noncontrolling interests' share of Adjusted OIBDA. We believe these measures at the borrowing group level 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. These measures 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 C&W's operating income (loss) to Adjusted OIBDA and Proportionate Adjusted OIBDA is presented in the following table:

	Three months ended					Nine months ended
	September 30,					September 30,

Share-based compensation expense	11.6		8.1			28.3		23.4
Depreciation and amortization	146.9		153.3			432.4		456.8
Related-party fees and allocations	15.5		8.9			28.3		26.7
