Millicom Chief Executive Officer Marcelo Benitez
commented:
"Millicom has undergone an important
transformation aimed at significantly increasing the company's
equity free cash flow generation. These efforts began to pay off in
Q2, with EBITDA up almost 20% organically, EFCF of $268 million and
leverage down significantly to 2.77x, putting the company on track
to achieve its 2024 targets.
Meanwhile, we are streamlining our product
offerings and internal processes, which is enhancing productivity
and generating cost savings beyond the initial targets of the
efficiency project Everest. Additionally, we are prioritizing ARPU
growth in Mobile, reducing churn in Home, and accelerating growth
in B2B. We are also making return-focused investments to sustain
our market leadership and drive customer growth in the second half
of 2024. All these actions are designed to ensure continued EFCF
growth in 2025 and beyond, in line with our long-term plan.
As we wrap up my initial quarter as CEO, I want
to express my gratitude to the entire Millicom team for their
tremendous energy and dedication, even amid significant challenges
and uncertainties. Together, we are transforming into a more agile
and efficient platform to fulfill our mission of building digital
highways that connect people, improve lives, and develop our
communities.”
2024 Financial Targets
Millicom targets equity-free cash flow above
$600 million in 2024, excluding proceeds for the
previously-announced tower sale in Colombia. Millicom also targets
leverage to near 2.5x at year-end 2024. Excluded from both targets
are cash proceeds and related taxes stemming from any potential
future tower transaction.
