Liberty Latin America Reports Q2 & H1 2024 Results
Sequential financial growth with Q2 reported revenue up 2%
Continued strong Adjusted OIBDA growth in C&W Panama & C&W Caribbean
Post-migration impacts in Puerto Rico; performance to improve in H2
Agreement to combine operations with Tigo in Costa Rica
>$300 million across share repurchases & convertible redemption to date in 2024
Denver, Colorado - August 6, 2024: 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 (“Q2”) and six months (“YTD” or “H1 2024”) ended June 30, 2024.
CEO Balan Nair commented, “We continued to drive operational and financial growth across most of our businesses in the second quarter with notably strong performances in Panama, Costa Rica and the Caribbean. In Puerto Rico, whilst we experienced additional challenges following completion of the mobile subscriber migration, we remain confident of improved performance in the second half.”
“Our focus on broadband and postpaid mobile additions continued to drive positive results with over 100,000 net subscribers added in the second quarter across Central America and C&W Caribbean. This was more than double the prior-year and 28% higher than the first quarter. The results were driven by strong mobile growth in Panama, where we successfully won customers following the exit of a competitor, and continued momentum in Costa Rica. We also recently announced the combination of our business in Costa Rica with Tigo, which we will control following closing.”
“Costa Rica is a great country to operate in and Liberty Costa Rica is a strong business for us. By combining Liberty and Tigo, the fixed operations will accelerate the transition to FTTH and will enable us to deliver exceptional high-speed services for consumers, provide enhanced customer experiences, drive innovation, and offer growth opportunities for our people. In addition we just launched 5G across the country and are gaining traction in the market as shown by our mobile growth.”
“Looking to the second half of the year, we anticipate a significant inflection in financial performance as we move past impacts from our Puerto Rico migration and begin to execute on our growth plans in that market, while maintaining healthy positive momentum across the rest of the group. In Puerto Rico, we now expect synergies, operating cost improvements and top line sequential growth will drive Adjusted OIBDA to more than $45 million per month towards the end of the second half.”
“We remain confident in achieving our medium term targets, and repurchased 12 million shares in the first half of the year, as well as redeeming our convertible notes that were due in July. In aggregate, this represents over $300 million of capital, which is equivalent to our entire spend in 2023.”
Q2 Business Highlights
•C&W Caribbean: continued financial momentum
◦YoY reported and rebased revenue growth of 3% and 4%, respectively
◦YoY reported and rebased Adj. OIBDA growth of 7% and 8%, respectively
•C&W Panama: strong subscriber growth and financial performance
◦51,000 postpaid mobile subscriber additions as competitor exits market
◦YoY revenue and Adj. OIBDA growth of 9% and 10%, respectively
•Liberty Networks: Strong enterprise growth
◦Resilient MRR performance in wholesale business with steady growth
◦YoY reported enterprise revenue up 17%
•Liberty Puerto Rico: additional impacts following migration
◦Post migration operational challenges stabilizing
◦Operating and financial performance to significantly improve in H2 2024
•Liberty Costa Rica: mobile momentum driving growth
◦Postpaid net adds 65% higher YoY
◦YoY reported and rebased revenue growth of 9% and 4%, respectively
Hurricane Beryl
In July 2024, Hurricane Beryl impacted our Jamaica operation and certain smaller operations within C&W Caribbean, resulting in varying degrees of damage to homes, businesses and infrastructure in these markets. In connection with Hurricane Beryl, we expect to experience adverse subscriber and financial impacts during the remainder of 2024. We currently estimate that due to Hurricane Beryl:
•Revenue and Adjusted OIBDA will be negatively impacted by between $10 million and $20 million for the remainder of 2024, primarily during the third quarter, based on certain factors, such as when power is fully restored to the impacted areas.
•We will incur property and equipment additions of approximately $10 million to $20 million to replace infrastructure and equipment that has been damaged beyond repair or to enhance network resiliency.
Hurricane Beryl triggered our weather derivatives and we expect to receive net third-party proceeds of approximately $44 million that will be reflected as a derivative gain in our financial statements. We are still in the process of assessing the impact of Hurricane Beryl on our homes passed and subscribers.
Stock Repurchase Activity & Convertible Bond Redemption
During the quarter, we repurchased $22 million worth of stock, bringing the YTD 2024 total to $83 million and representing 12 million shares.
In June 2024, we entered into a series of capped call option contracts on a total of 6 million Liberty Latin America Class A and Class C common shares with expiration of 12 to 18 months.
Subsequent to June 30, 2024, we repurchased and cancelled the remaining $140 million of Convertible Notes upon maturity.
Liberty Latin America and Millicom Agree to Combine Operations in Costa Rica
Liberty Latin America and Millicom International Cellular S.A. ("Millicom") announced on August 1, 2024, that they had entered into an agreement to combine their respective operations in Costa Rica. Under the terms of the all-stock agreement, Liberty Latin America and its minority partner in Costa Rica will hold an approximate 86% interest and Millicom 14% in the joint operations with the final ownership percentage to be confirmed at closing.
The transaction reinforces the parties’ commitment to Costa Rica by creating a scaled platform and accelerating investments in fiber network expansion. In a market that is undergoing rapid technological advancements with the deployment of fiber networks by multiple operators, this combination increases fiber competition ensuring high-quality, good value services and access to the digital economy.
The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory authorizations, and we expect the transaction to be completed during the second half of 2025.

N.M. – Not Meaningful.
•Reported revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 was flat as compared to the corresponding prior-year periods.
◦Reported revenue in Q2 and H1 2024 was flat as (1) net organic growth driven by C&W Caribbean and C&W Panama and (2) net foreign exchange benefits of $8 million and $24 million, respectively, were offset by organic declines in Liberty Puerto Rico.
Q2 2024 Revenue Growth – Segment Highlights
•C&W Caribbean: revenue grew 3% on a reported basis and 4% on a rebased basis, year-over-year, driven by growth across all product areas.
◦Fixed residential revenue increased by 1% on a reported basis and by 2% on a rebased basis. Rebased performance was driven by ARPU growth mainly due to price increases across a number of markets, and supported by broadband subscriber growth, primarily in Jamaica.
◦Mobile residential revenue increased by 4% on a reported basis and by 5% on a rebased basis. Performance resulted from an increase in postpaid subscribers year-over-year driven by our fixed-mobile convergence propositions and higher prepaid ARPU following price increases.
◦B2B revenue was 5% higher on both a reported and rebased basis. Growth was driven by higher project-related revenue.
•C&W Panama: revenue grew by 9% on a reported and rebased basis, year-over-year.
◦Fixed residential revenue was up 4%, driven by broadband RGU additions following expansion of our FTTH networks, products and commercial activities.
◦Mobile residential revenue grew by 4%, driven by improved prepaid ARPU as our products and promotions led to increased recharge activity. This was partly offset by decreases in prepaid mobile subscribers over the past twelve months, driven by the net impact of (i) churn related to the migration of customers to our network following the
Claro Panama Acquisition, and (ii) the addition of customers to our base following the exit of a competitor from our market.
◦B2B revenue increased by 17% primarily due to increased revenue from government-related projects.
•Liberty Networks: revenue was flat and declined by 1% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. The year-over-year rebased decline was driven by lower wholesale network revenue associated with a reduction of $6 million in non-cash IRU revenue primarily due to lower amortization year-over-year. This was partly offset by higher enterprise revenue due to continued growth in managed services and B2B connectivity.
•Liberty Puerto Rico: revenue was 12% lower on a reported and rebased basis, year-over-year.
◦Residential fixed revenue was broadly stable year-over-year, declining by 1%, as broadband subscriber additions over the past twelve months were more than offset by lower ARPU, primarily due to retention discounts, including for customers previously receiving subsidized services through the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).
◦Residential mobile revenue was 21% lower compared to the prior-year period. This was driven by a reduction in mobile subscribers, impacted by disruption related to the migration of customers to our mobile network and a reduction in roaming revenue.
◦B2B revenue declined by 6% year-over-year, primarily reflecting the cancellation of the FCC's Emergency Connectivity Fund (ECF) which led to a reduction of 74,000 mobile postpaid subs over the past year.
◦Other revenue declined by $4 million as compared to the prior-year quarter due to a reduction in revenue recognized on funds received from the FCC.
•Liberty Costa Rica: revenue grew by 9% on a reported basis and 4% on a rebased basis, year-over-year. Reported performance benefited from a $7 million positive foreign exchange impact as the Costa Rican colon appreciated against the U.S. dollar. The strong year-over-year rebased performance was driven by higher mobile revenue due to increased equipment sales and postpaid subscriber growth.
Operating Income
•Operating income was $111 million and $135 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $204 million and $242 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
◦We reported lower operating income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023, primarily due to the net impact of (i) declines in Adjusted OIBDA and (ii) decreases in impairment, restructuring and other operating items, net.
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:

N.M. – Not Meaningful.
•Reported Adjusted OIBDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by 12% and 9%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior-year periods.
◦Reported Adjusted OIBDA declined in Q2 and H1 2024 as organic growth in C&W Panama and C&W Caribbean, was more than offset by reductions in Liberty Puerto Rico and Liberty Networks.
Q2 2024 Adjusted OIBDA Growth – Segment Highlights
•C&W Caribbean: Adjusted OIBDA increased by 7% on a reported and 8% rebased basis, respectively, primarily driven by the aforementioned revenue growth and supported by cost containment. Our Adjusted OIBDA margin improved by over 150 basis points year-over-year to 42.6%.
•C&W Panama: Adjusted OIBDA increased by 10% on both a reported and rebased basis, driven by the aforementioned revenue growth.
•Liberty Networks: Adjusted OIBDA decreased by 13% on both a reported and rebased basis. Our rebased performance was driven primarily by the aforementioned non-cash related revenue decline in the quarter, and higher bad debt expense mostly driven by adjustments for two large customers.
•Liberty Puerto Rico: Adjusted OIBDA declined by 48% on a reported and rebased basis. The performance was driven by the net impact of: (i) our aforementioned revenue decline, (ii) lower direct costs, primarily due to lower TSA and roaming costs, and (iii) higher other operating costs mainly related to (a) migration activities, including a $12 million increase in bad debt expense related to billing and collection issues, (b) higher information technology service and license expenses, as we transitioned mobile customers to our internal systems and (c) an $8 million
credit related to the CARES Act received in the prior-year period. TSA, integration and inventory costs related to the migration were $16 million in the quarter.
•Liberty Costa Rica: Adjusted OIBDA grew by 7% and 1% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. Rebased performance was driven by the aforementioned revenue growth and favorable foreign exchange movements on non-CRC denominated costs, partly offset by higher operating costs related to sales activity.
Net Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Shareholders
•Net earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders was ($43 million) for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, and $35 million and ($31 million) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, 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 outstanding (including liabilities related to vendor financing, debt related to the Tower Transactions, other debt and finance lease obligations) 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 outstanding (including liabilities related to vendor financing, debt related to the Tower Transactions, other debt and finance lease obligations) less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash related to debt to annualized operating income from the most recent two consecutive fiscal quarters.
CRU – Corporate responsible user.
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, debt related to the Tower Transactions and other debt), 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 outstanding, including liabilities related to vendor financing, debt related to the Tower Transactions, other debt and finance lease obligations, 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 and liabilities related to vendor financing and finance lease obligations) less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash related to debt. 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. Our Liberty Puerto Rico segment prepaid subscriber count includes mobile reseller subscribers, which represent organizations that purchase minutes and data at wholesale prices and subsequently resell it under the purchaser's brand name. These reseller subscribers result in a significantly lower ARPU than the remaining subscribers included in our prepaid balance. Additionally, our Liberty Puerto Rico segment postpaid subscriber count includes CRUs, which represent an individual receiving mobile services through an organization that has entered into a contract for mobile services with us and where the organization is responsible for the payment of the CRU’s mobile services.
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 Puerto Rico 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.
Tower Transactions – Transactions entered into during 2023 associated with certain of our mobile towers across various markets that (i) have terms of 15 or 20 years and did not meet the criteria to be accounted for as a sale and leaseback and (ii) also include "build to suit" sites that we are obligated to construct over the next 5 years.
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 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 and Adjusted OIBDA Margin, each on a consolidated basis, (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
On a consolidated basis, Adjusted OIBDA, a non-GAAP measure, is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment operating performance. Adjusted OIBDA is also a key factor that is 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 and other Employee Incentive Plan-related expense, 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 is a meaningful measure because it represents 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 measure is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our performance with the performance of other companies in the same or similar industries, although our measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other public companies. Adjusted OIBDA should be viewed as a measure of operating performance that is 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 is 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) proceeds received in connection with handset receivables securitization, (iv) insurance recoveries related to damaged and destroyed property and equipment and (v) 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, net, (b) principal payments on amounts financed by vendors and intermediaries, (c) principal payments on finance leases, (d) repayments made associated with a handset receivables securitization, and (e) distributions to noncontrolling interest owners. 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 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:

1.For purposes of our consolidated statements of cash flows, expenses, including value-added taxes, financed by an intermediary are treated as 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.
Rebase Information
Rebase growth rates are a non-GAAP measure. For purposes of calculating rebased growth rates, we reflect the translation of our prior-year results at the applicable average foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate our results for the corresponding current-year period.
The rebased growth percentages are not necessarily indicative of 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.
In the tables set forth below:
•reported percentage changes are calculated as current period measure, as applicable, less prior-period measure divided by prior-period measure; and
•rebased percentage changes are calculated as current period measure, as applicable, less rebased prior-period measure divided by rebased prior-period measure.
The following tables set forth the reconciliation from reported revenue to rebased revenue and related change calculations.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation for Consolidated Leverage Ratios
We have set forth below our consolidated leverage and net leverage ratios. Our consolidated leverage and net leverage ratios (Consolidated Leverage Ratios), each a non-GAAP measure, are defined as (i) the principal amount of debt and finance lease obligations less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash related to debt divided by (ii) last two quarters of annualized Adjusted OIBDA. We generally use Adjusted OIBDA for the last two quarters annualized when calculating our Consolidated Leverage Ratios to maintain as much consistency as possible with the calculations established by our debt covenants included in the credit facilities or bond indentures for our respective borrowing groups, which are predominantly determined on a last two quarters annualized basis. 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 June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024 are set forth below:

1.Amount relates to restricted cash at Liberty Puerto Rico that serves as collateral against certain letters of credit associated with the funding received from the FCC to continue to expand and improve our fixed network in Puerto Rico.
2.Operating income or loss is the closest U.S. GAAP measure to Adjusted OIBDA, as discussed in Adjusted OIBDA 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 above for reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA to the nearest U.S. GAAP measure for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations for 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 C&W, Liberty Puerto Rico and Liberty Costa Rica borrowing groups in this press release that are considered non-GAAP measures, including: (i) Adjusted OIBDA; (ii) Adjusted OIBDA Margin; (iii) Proportionate Adjusted OIBDA, (iv) rebased revenue and (v) rebased Adjusted OIBDA.
Adjusted OIBDA is defined as operating income or loss before share-based compensation and other Employee Incentive Plan-related expense, 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.
