MILLICOM INTERNATIONAL CELLULAR S.A.
1. Half-Year Report for the six-month period ended June 30,
2022
2. Earnings Release for Q2 2022
This half-year report for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022 has
been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Article 4 of the Luxembourg Transparency Law of 11 January 2008, and should be read
in conjunction with the annual report of Millicom International Cellular S.A. (the Company) for the year ended December 31, 2021 (including
the consolidated financial statements included therein) and the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included
in this half-year report.
Statements included herein that are not historical
facts, including without limitation statements concerning future strategy, plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, projected financial
results, liquidity, growth and prospects, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and
uncertainties and are subject to change at any time. In the event such risks or uncertainties materialize, Millicom’s results could
be materially adversely affected. In particular, there is uncertainty about global economic activity and inflation, the demand for Millicom's
products and services, and global supply chains. The risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the following:
A further list and description of risks, uncertainties and other matters
can be found under the heading “Risk Factors” in Item 1 of Millicom’s Report on Form 6-K, filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 10, 2022, and in Millicom’s subsequent SEC filings, all of which are available
at www.sec.gov. To the extent COVID-19 adversely affects Millicom's business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening
many of the risks described in its filings.
All forward-looking statements attributable to
us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Readers are cautioned not
to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements that speak only as of the date hereof. Except to the extent otherwise required
by applicable law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise.
Group revenue increased 42.8% ($856 million) year-on-year to $2,856
million in H1 2022. The increase is largely due to positive organic growth in all business lines and countries, which more than offset
the impact of weaker currencies in some countries.
Cost of sales increased at a relatively slower rate of (35.9)% ($202
million) year-on-year to $765 million, due to the same reasons as explained above and a small increase in bad debt provision.
Operating expenses increased (29.6)% ($217 million) year-on-year to
$949 million reflecting increased investment to support the development and expansion of our Tigo Money Fintech business, as well as sales
and marketing costs to support customer growth, especially in our Colombia mobile business.
Depreciation increased (30.3)% ($118 million) year-on-year to $509 million,
mostly due to the effect of the purchase accounting of Guatemala acquisition. Amortization expense decreased 3.8% ($7 million) year-on-year
to $171 million reflecting our decision to replace the Cable Onda brand with Tigo in Panama in April 2021.
Millicom's share of profit in joint ventures was $20 million in
H1 2022, a decrease of (84.5)% year-on-year as this line now reflects only our operations in Honduras after the consolidation of the Guatemalan
operation in November 2021. Had our Guatemalan operations were fully consolidated in H1 2021 Millicom's share of profit in joint ventures
would have been $19 million.
Other operating expenses, net, decreased by $38 million year-on-year
mainly due to the $25 million charge recorded in Q1 2021 as part of the agreement signed to transfer our stake in the AirtelTigo joint
venture in Ghana to the Government of Ghana and the $15 million loss on disposal of shares in Helios Towers recorded in Q2 2021.
Financial income (expenses), net increased by $61 million to $305
million. The increase is mainly due to higher debt levels, following the recent acquisition of our Guatemalan operation.
Loss from other non-operating items was $7 million in H1 2022 compared
to a loss of $18 million in H1 2021. This decrease is due mainly to the Panama put option revaluation in H1 2021 that resulted in $26
million loss, as well as higher foreign exchange losses in H1 2022, partly offset by the mark-to-market revaluation of Jumia and Helios
Towers ($18 million gain from the Helios Towers revaluation in H1 2021).
Tax expense was $147 million in H1 2022, increasing from $54 million
in H1 2021 primarily due to the Guatemala acquisition, increased taxable profits and to a $26 million provision resulting from a one-off
adverse tax ruling related to earlier years, in one of our operations.
Net profit attributable to the owners of the Company was $152
million or 1.42 per share for H1 2022 compared to a loss of $58 million or $0.45 per share in H1 2021. Increase is
mainly due to our Africa operation which was moved to discontinued operations as a result of the completion of the sale of our former
Tanzania operation on April 5, 2022. Profit from discontinued operations of $111 million for H1 2022, which includes the gain disposal
on Tanzania's sale of $107 million, compares to a profit from discontinued operations of $7 million for the same period last year.
Non-controlling interests share of net loss was $17 million in
H1 2022 compared to a loss of $27 million in H1 2021, reflecting the share of losses of the Group's partners in Tigo Colombia.
At June 30, 2022, Millicom had 172.1 million issued and paid up common
shares of par value $1.50 each (2021: 101.7 million). The increase in number of shares of 70.4 million is the result of the rights offering
executed earlier this year. Out of the total net proceeds received of $718 million, $106 million have been allocated to share capital
while $612 million were recorded against the Group's share premium account. Out of the 172.1 million issued and paid up common shares,
1.23 million were held by the Company as treasury shares (2021: 179 thousand). During H1 2022, the Company acquired approximately 87 thousand
shares and issued around 397 thousand shares to management under the share-based remuneration plans as part of their annual remuneration
and directors as part of director remuneration.
Inflation in many countries globally has been rising for the past several
months due to a variety of factors, including significant disruptions to the global production and distribution of energy and food commodities
caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as well as the global response to that invasion. As a result, global economic prospects have
been severely affected, including in our Latin America markets, a situation that is expected to continue at least throughout the remainder
of 2022. As of the period ending June 30, 2022, macro-related impacts to the Group's performance have so far been limited, but this could
change in future periods.
The Group continues to monitor the developments of the aforementioned
events and their potential impact on performance and accounting considerations.
Millicom’s financial risk management policies and objectives remain
unchanged compared to what the Group presented in Section D. Financial risk management of the 2021 consolidated financial statements (included
in Group's 2021 Annual Report).
Internal controls and Governance in the preparation of the consolidated
financial statements are set out in the Governance section from pages 63 to 112 in Millicom's 2021 Annual Report.
Millicom’s conducts transactions with certain related parties
on normal commercial terms and conditions. Material related party transactions are subject to the review of the audit committee of the
Company's board of directors. For further details on Millicom Group’s significant related parties please refer to note 12 to our
unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this half-year report.
We continue to execute on the plans announced at
the February Investor Day, and reconfirm the financial targets of organic OCF growth of around 10% per year on average and cumulative
EFCF of between $800 million and $1 billion over the next three years. For the remainder of 2022, we expect organic OCF growth to accelerate
significantly, achieving full-year 2022 organic OCF growth of around 10%.
There are no significant subsequent event to report.
The Board of Directors and the executive management of the company reaffirm
their responsibility to ensure the maintenance of proper accounting records disclosing the consolidated financial position of the Group
with reasonable accuracy at any time, and ensuring that an appropriate system of internal controls is in place to ensure that the Group’s
business operations are carried on efficiently and transparently.
In accordance with Article 4 of the law of January 11, 2008 on transparency
requirements in relation to information about issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market, Millicom declares
that, to the best of our knowledge, the interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022,
prepared in accordance with IAS 34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ as adopted for use in the European Union, give a true and
fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and results of the interim period.
In addition, management’s report includes a fair review of the
development and performance of the Group’s operations during the interim period and of business risks, where appropriate, faced
by the Group.
We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial
statements of Millicom International Cellular S.A. as of 30 June 2022, which comprise the interim condensed consolidated statement of
financial position as at 30 June 2022 and the related interim condensed consolidated statement of income, the interim condensed consolidated
statement of comprehensive income, the interim condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, the interim condensed consolidated
statement of cash flow for the six-month period then ended and explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair
presentation of these interim condensed financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 Interim
Financial Reporting as adopted by the European Union (“IAS 34”). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim
condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on
Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity.” A review
of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters,
and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant
matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us
to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance
with IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Millicom International Cellular S.A. (the “Company”
or “MIC SA”), a Luxembourg Société Anonyme, and its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates (the “Group”
or “Millicom”) is a provider of cable and mobile services dedicated to emerging markets in Latin America. Millicom provides
high speed broadband and innovation around The Digital Lifestyle® services through its principal brand, TIGO.
On November 12, 2021, Millicom acquired the remaining 45% equity interest
in its business in Guatemala (collectively, "Tigo Guatemala") and since that date owns 100% equity interest and fully consolidates
Tigo Guatemala (see note 3). As a consequence this affects the comparability of the statements of income and cash flows in these unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements and the statement of financial position has been restated as a result of the finalization
of the purchase accounting (refer to note 3).
On March 10, 2022, our operations in Tanzania were classified as discontinued
operations in the statement of income and as assets held for sale in the statement of financial position after the Group obtained all
necessary approvals to conclude the announced divestiture. The sale was completed on April 5, 2022. As a result, the numbers in the statement
of income have been re-presented for all periods shown (see note 4).
On July 27, 2022, the Board of Directors authorized these unaudited
interim condensed consolidated financial statements for issuance.
2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group
are unaudited. They are presented in US dollars ($) and have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”)
34 ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and as adopted
by the European Union ("EU"). In the opinion of management, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments that are necessary for a proper presentation of the results for interim periods. Millicom’s operations are
not affected by significant seasonal or cyclical patterns.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, which have been
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the IASB and in conformity with
IFRS as adopted by the EU. These financial statements are prepared in accordance with consolidation and accounting policies consistent
with the December 31, 2021 consolidated financial statements, except for the changes described below.
We have made rounding adjustments to reach some of the figures included
in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, numerical figures shown as totals in some tables
may not be an arithmetic aggregation of the figures that preceded them and percentage calculations using these adjusted figures may not
result in the same percentage values as are shown in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

| II. | Current macroeconomic environment and its effect on the Group's business activities, financial situation and economic performance
|
Inflation in many countries globally has been rising
for the past several months due to a variety of factors, including significant disruptions to the global production and distribution of
energy and food commodities caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as well as the global response to that invasion. As a result,
global economic prospects have been severely affected, including in our Latin America markets, a situation that is expected to continue
at least throughout the remainder of 2022. As of the period ending June 30, 2022, macro-related impacts to the Group's performance have
so far been limited, but this could change in future periods.
The Group continues to monitor the developments
of the aforementioned events and their potential impact on performance and accounting considerations.
As of June 30, 2022, and for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022,
management did not identify any significant adverse accounting effects as a result of the above-mentioned events.

2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(Continued)
| III. | New and amended IFRS standards |
The following changes to standards have been adopted by the Group and
did not have any significant impact on the Group’s accounting policies or disclosures and did not require retrospective adjustments:
| ◦ | IFRS 3 'Business Combinations' - Reference to Conceptual Framework. |
| ◦ | IAS 16 'Property, Plant and Equipment' - Proceeds before intended use. |
| ◦ | IAS 37 'Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets' - Cost of fulfilling a contract. |
| ◦ | Annual improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020, affecting IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 41. |
Amendments effective for annual periods starting on January 1, 2023
that are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group consolidated financial statements:
| ◦ | Amendments to IAS 1, 'Disclosure of Accounting Policies' that are intended to help preparers in deciding which accounting policies
to disclose in their financial statements. |
| ◦ | Amendments to IAS 1, 'Presentation of Financial Statements': These amendments clarify that liabilities are classified as either current
or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. The amendments also clarify what IAS 1 means when
it refers to the ‘settlement’ of a liability (not yet endorsed by the EU). |
| ◦ | IAS 8, 'Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors' - Definition of accounting estimates. |
The following changes to standards are effective for annual periods
starting on January 1, 2023 and their potential impact on the Group consolidated financial statements is currently being assessed by Management:
| ◦ | Amendments to IAS 12, 'Income Taxes: Deferred tax related to Assets and liabilities arising from a Single Transaction' - These amendments
clarify that the initial recognition exception does not apply to the initial recognition of leases and decommissioning obligations. These
amendments apply prospectively to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. In addition,
an entity should apply the amendments for the first time by recognizing deferred tax for all temporary differences related to leases and
decommissioning obligations at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented (not yet endorsed by the EU). |

3. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARIES, JOINT
VENTURES, ASSOCIATES AND OTHER NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS
Acquisitions for the six-month period ended June 30, 2022
There were no material acquisitions during the six-month period ended
June 30, 2022.
Acquisitions 2021
On November 12, 2021, Millicom announced that it has closed the previously-announced
agreement to acquire the remaining 45% equity interest in its joint venture business in Guatemala (collectively, "Tigo Guatemala")
from its local partner for $2.2 billion in cash. The acquisition was initially financed through a bridge facility (see note 11).
As of June 30, 2022, Millicom has finalized the purchase accounting
and determined the fair values of Tigo Guatemala's identifiable assets and liabilities and comparative figures as of December 31, 2021

$51 million, with a remaining useful life of 11 years.
c) the trademarks and brand held and operated by Tigo Guatemala
for $62 million, bringing its carrying value to $910 million. Management determined that the latter have indefinite useful lives.
| (ii) | A fair value step-up of $184 million has been recognized on property, plant and equipment, mainly on the core network, network
equipment and owned towers. The weighted average remaining useful live is estimated at 6 years. |
| (iii) | The Group measured the lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments (as defined in IFRS 16) as if the acquired
lease were a new lease at the acquisition date. The right-of-use assets have been adjusted by $17 million to be measured at the same amount
as the lease liabilities. |
| (iv) | The fair value of trade receivables acquired approximate their carrying value of $42 million. |
| (v) | The acquisition has been determined as a business combination achieved in stages, requiring Millicom to remeasure its 55% previously
held equity investment in Tigo Guatemala at its acquisition date fair value; the resulting gain has been recognized in the statement of
income under the line "Revaluation of previously held interests" and is included in the goodwill calculation (see above). |
The goodwill is attributable to the workforce and the high profitability
of Tigo Guatemala. It is currently not expected to be tax deductible. From November 12, 2021 to December 31, 2021, Tigo Guatemala contributed
$223 million of revenue and $28 million of net profit to the Group. If Tigo Guatemala had been acquired on January 1, 2021, incremental
revenue for the year 2021 would have been $1.38 billion and incremental net profit for
the same period of $147 million. Acquisition related costs included in the statement of income under operating expenses were immaterial.

Disposals 2022 - Tanzania
On March 10, 2022, Millicom obtained the
final necessary regulatory approvals to sell its operations in Tanzania. The transaction was completed on April 5, 2022 (see note
4).
4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE
Discontinued operations-Tanzania
As from March 10, 2022, and in
accordance with IFRS 5, all assets and liabilities of our operations in Tanzania were classified as held for sale and their results
have been removed from the results of continuing operations and are shown as a single line item on the face of the statement of comprehensive
income under 'net result from discontinued operations'. Comparative figures of the statement of income have been re-presented accordingly.
On April 5, 2022, Millicom completed
the sale for an initial cash consideration of approximately $101 million (subject to final price adjustment). As per the sale agreement,
the initial sale price was adjusted to consider some outstanding tax and legal contingencies which management believes is sufficient
to cover any future claims on pre-closing matters. Should the price adjustments not be sufficient, Millicom might be liable and need
to make additional provisions that are not covered by the latter. In addition, the agreement also provides an IPO2
adjustment clause valid until April 5, 2024, whereby Millicom would reimburse the buyer for any
negative difference between the share price per share on the IPO date and the one implied by this sale. As of June 30, 2022,
no additional provisions have been made by management in respect of the aforementioned items.
(a) The net assets de-consolidated
on the date of the disposal, as well as the gain on disposal, were as follows:

2 The
Tanzanian government implemented in 2016 legislation requiring telecommunications companies to list their shares on the Dar es Salaam
Stock Exchange and offer 25% of their shares in a Tanzanian public offering. The ´Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority´
(TCRA) ordered the Tanzanian operations to complete such public offering by December 31, 2025, at the latest.

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION
Management determines operating and reportable segments based on the
reports that are used by the chief operating decision maker to make strategic and operational decisions from both a business and geographic
perspective. The Millicom Group’s risks and rates of return for its operations were predominantly affected by operating in different
geographical regions. Until the divestiture of our Tanzania business, as discussed above, the Millicom Group had businesses in two main
regions, Latin America and Africa, which constituted our two reportable segments. As a result of the sale of the Tanzania business and
its classification as a discontinued operation, we no longer report an Africa segment in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements included elsewhere in this Report and will no longer report it in our consolidated financial statements for future periods.
The Group now only operates in a single region, Latin America.
As a result, the Group now reports a single segment, called the ‘Group
Segment’, which includes the results of our Latin American operations, and regional and central corporate costs. Group segment
figures will continue to include our Honduras joint venture as if it was fully consolidated, as this reflects the way management reviews
and uses internally reported information to make decisions about operating matters and to provide increased transparency to investors
on those operations. Group segment figures also include our operations in Guatemala as if they were fully consolidated for all comparative
periods, for the same reasons. On November 12, 2021, we acquired the remaining 45% equity interest in our Guatemala joint venture business,
and we now fully consolidate our operations in Guatemala. Prior to this date, we held a 55% stake in our operations in Guatemala and
accounted for it using the equity method of accounting, along with our operations in Honduras.
Revenue, operating profit (loss), EBITDA and other segment information
for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, are shown on the following pages.

8. INVESTMENTS IN JOINT VENTURES
Joint ventures are businesses over which Millicom exercises joint control
as decisions over the relevant activities of each, such as the ability to upstream cash from the joint ventures, require unanimous consent
of shareholders. Millicom determines the existence of joint control by reference to joint venture agreements, articles of association,
structures and voting protocols of the board of directors of those ventures.
At June 30, 2022, the equity accounted net assets of our joint venture
in Honduras totaled $434 million (December 31, 2021: Honduras: $406 million). These net assets do not necessarily represent statutory
reserves available for distribution as these include consolidation adjustments (such as goodwill and identified assets and assumed liabilities
recognized as part of the purchase accounting). Out of these net assets, $3 million (December 31, 2021: $3 million) represent statutory
reserves that are unavailable to be distributed to the Group. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, Millicom's joint venture
in Honduras repatriated cash of $26 million under the form of management fees and repayment of a shareholder loan. For the same period
last year, Millicom's joint ventures in Guatemala and Honduras repatriated cash of $37 million, out of which $13 million represented dividends
and dividends advances paid to the Company.
At June 30, 2022, Millicom had $69 million payables to Honduras joint
venture which were mainly made up of loan advances (December 31, 2021: $69 million). In addition, Millicom had a total of $44 million
receivable from Honduras (December 31, 2021: 62 million), mainly composed of a sale consideration following a shareholding restructuring
in 2020, which is payable in several installments with a final settlement in November 2023.

(June 30, 2021: $4 million).
10. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2022, Millicom added intangible
assets for $192 million of which $116 million related to spectrum and licenses, and $76 million to additions of other intangible assets
(June 30, 2021: $34 million of which $(14) million related to an adjustment on spectrum and licenses and $48 million to additions of intangible
assets) and did not receive any proceeds from disposal of intangible assets (June 30, 2021: nil).

11. FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS
A. Debt and financing
The most significant movements in debt and financing for the six-month
period ended June 30, 2022 were as follows:
Luxembourg
On January 10, 2022, Millicom placed a SEK 2.2 billion (approximately
$215 million at the June 30, 2022 exchange rate) senior unsecured sustainability bond (the "Bond") within its Sustainability
bond framework. The Bond is due on 2027 and carries a floating coupon priced at 3m Stibor+300bps, The Bond is listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm
sustainable bond list. On January 13, 2022, Millicom executed a swap on the principal amount to hedge it to USD (see note 13).
On April 13, 2022, Millicom repaid $100 million of the bridge loan with
the proceeds received from the disposal of our operations in Tanzania. The remaining balance of $350 million has been repaid in June 2022
with the proceeds of the rights offering (see note 14).
Colombia
On January 21, 2022, Colombia Movil S.A. repaid $100 million of the
outstanding amount of the Syndicated Loan Agreement dated June 8, 2017. On January 19, 2022, the respective cross currency swaps with
Bancolombia and JP Morgan for $25 million, each, were terminated. As of June 30, 2022, there is still $50 million outstanding under the
syndicated loan, which is covered by cross currency and interest rate swaps.
Guatemala
On January 27, 2022, our principal subsidiary in
Guatemala, Comunicaciones Celulares, S.A. ("Comcel"), completed the issuance of a new
10-year $900 million Bond with a coupon of 5.125% per annum. The proceeds from this bond were used to repay a significant portion
of the bridge financing that was used to fund the acquisition of the remaining 45% equity interest in the Tigo Guatemala operations (see
note 3).
On March 31, 2022, Comcel executed a new 5-year
$150 million loan agreement with Banco de Desarrollo Rural, S.A.. Proceeds were disbursed on April 27, 2022 and were used to refinance
some of the credit agreements Comcel has with Banco Industrial.

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation & claims
The Company and its operations are contingently liable with respect
to lawsuits, legal, regulatory, commercial and other legal risks that arise in the normal course of business. As of June 30, 2022, the
total amount of claims brought against Millicom and its subsidiaries is $250 million (December 31, 2021: $246 million). The Group's share
of the comparable exposure for its joint venture in Honduras is $13 million (December 31, 2021: $13 million).
As at June 30, 2022, $27 million has been provisioned by its subsidiaries
for these risks in the consolidated statement of financial position (December 31, 2021: $36 million). The Group's share of provisions
made by the joint venture was $1 million (December 31, 2021: $1 million). While it is not possible to ascertain the ultimate legal and
financial liability with respect to these claims and risks, the ultimate outcome is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Group’s
financial position and operations.
Taxation
At June 30, 2022, the tax risks exposure of the Group's subsidiaries
is estimated at $297 million, for which provisions of $63 million have been recorded in tax liabilities; representing the probable amount
of eventual claims and required payments related to those risks (December 31, 2021: $343 million of which provisions of $69 million were
recorded). The Group's share of comparable tax exposure and provisions in its joint venture amounts to $89 million (December 31, 2021:
$68 million) and $6 million (December 31, 2021: $3 million), respectively.

Derivative financial instruments
Currency and interest rate swap contracts
MIC S.A. entered into swap contracts in order to hedge the foreign currency
and interest rate risks in relation to the 2024 SEK 2 billion and the foreign currency risk in relation to the 2027 SEK 2.2 billion (approximately
$211 million and $236 million, respectively, using the exchange rate at the time of the issuance of each bond) senior unsecured sustainability
bonds issued in May 2019 and January 2022, respectively). These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges as the timing and amounts
of the cash flows under the swap agreements match the cash flows under the SEK bond. Their maturity dates are May 2024 and January 2027,
respectively. The hedging relationships are highly effective and related fluctuations are recorded through other comprehensive income.
At June 30, 2022, the fair values of the swaps amount to a liability of $48 million (December 31, 2021: an asset of $6 million).
Colombia and El Salvador operations have also entered into several swap
agreements in order to hedge foreign currency and interest rate risks on certain long-term debts. These swaps are accounted for as cash
flow hedges and related fair value changes are recorded through other comprehensive income. At June 30, 2022, the fair value of El Salvador
amount to nil, (December 31, 2021: a liability of $1 million) and the fair value of Colombia swaps amount to an asset of $15 million (December
31, 2021: an asset of $15 million). On January 19, 2022, a portion of the cross-currency swaps with Bancolombia and JP Morgan were settled
in cash for an amount of $8 million.
Interest rate and currency swaps are measured with reference to Level
2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Call and put options - Panama
As of June 14, 2022, the Group received the formal notification from
the minority shareholders of Cable Onda S.A. confirming the exercise of their put option right to sell their remaining 20% shareholding
to Millicom for an amount of approximately $290 million. The transaction closed on June 29, 2022 and the payment was applied against the
already recorded put option liability of $290 million.
As a result, the non-controlling interests' carrying value of $78 million
have been transferred to the Group's equity.

There are no other derivative financial instruments with a significant
fair value at June 30, 2022.
14. RIGHTS OFFERING
On May 18, 2022, the Board of Directors of Millicom resolved on a rights
offering (the "Rights Offering") granting preferential subscription rights to existing holders of shares and Swedish Depositary
Receipts ("SDRs") to subscribe for up to 70,357,088 shares in aggregate.
Those who were registered as holders of shares/SDR register on May 23,
2022, received one subscription right for each share ("Share Right") or SDR ("SDR right") held in Millicom. 10 share
rights entitled a holder thereof to subscribe for 7 new shares in Millicom and 10 SDR Rights entitled a holder thereof to subscribe 7
new SDRs in Millicom. The subscription price was set at SEK 106 per new SDR and $10.61 per new share. The subscription price in SEK was
determined based on the subscription price in U.S dollars as resolved by Millicom, $10.61 per new share, using the SEK-U.S dollar exchange
rate published by the Swedish Central Bank on May 17, 2022.
The record date for participation in the Rights Offering was May 23,
2022. The subscription period ran from May 27, 2022 up to June 13, 2022.
The result of the Rights Offering showed that 68,822,675 shares, including
those represented by SDRs, have been subscribed for by the exercise of basic subscription rights. The remaining 1,534,413 shares, including
those represented by SDRs, have been allotted to those investors who have subscribed for them pursuant to over subscription privileges.
The Rights Offering was thus fully subscribed, and Millicom received proceeds amounting to approximately $718 million after deducting
underwriting commissions and other offering expenses of $28 million.
The Rights Offering resulted in the issuance of 70,357,088 new shares,
which increased the number of outstanding shares in Millicom from 101,739,217 to 172,096,305. As a result, the share capital increased
by $106 million to $258 million from $153 million. The remaining $612 million have been allocated to the Group's share premium account.

Millicom Chief Executive Officer Mauricio Ramos commented:
"We had a solid Q2, with service revenue growing
organically in every country and business unit for the fourth consecutive quarter, while EBITDA grew both year-on-year and sequentially
compared to Q1.
Colombia performed exceptionally well, as service
revenue growth accelerated to more than 8%, driven by mobile, which grew nearly 20% fueled by high-single-digit ARPU growth resulting
from the shift in mix toward postpaid, as we reap the benefits of our recent investments in spectrum, network and distribution. The improved
mobile ARPU and revenue lifted underlying margins in Colombia for a third consecutive quarter.
Earnings Release Q2 2022 | ![](https://content.edgar-online.com/edgar_conv_img/2022/07/28/0000950103-22-013175_image_001.jpg) |
During the quarter, we advanced with our plans
to carve out our infrastructure and fintech assets, and we plan to begin unlocking and crystallizing value from these assets with transactions
in 2023. We also completed the planned rights offering designed to fund the Guatemala acquisition.
Finally, we were very active on the ESG front,
as our climate targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative. We also joined the White House partnership for Central
America, re-affirming our long-standing commitment to invest to build the digital highways that improve lives in the region.
We recognize that the current global macro context
has become more challenging, but the business has continued to perform strongly and ahead of our plans thanks to the dedication and hard
work of our approximately 20,000 employees throughout the region. In light of the very strong cash flow generation that we expect for
the second half of this year, I am confident that we will deliver on the commitments we outlined at our recent investor day."

Outlook
We continue to execute on the plans announced at
the February Investor Day, and reconfirm the financial targets of organic OCF growth of around 10% per year on average and cumulative
EFCF of between $800 million and $1 billion over the next three years. For the remainder of 2022, we expect organic OCF growth to accelerate
significantly, achieving full-year 2022 organic OCF growth of around 10%.

(i) Since acquiring the remaining 45% equity
interest on November 12, 2021, the Guatemala business is fully consolidated in our financial statements.
The
consolidation of Guatemala is the most important factor affecting most lines of the Q2 2022 financial data when compared to Q2 2021.
For brevity purposes, we omit repeated mentions of the Guatemala transaction when discussing the reasons for changes in financial performance
year-on-year. To facilitate comparisons, proforma income statement data are included in the Financial & Operating Data Excel file
published at www.millicom.com/investors alongside this earnings
release.
Earnings Release Q2 2022 | ![](https://content.edgar-online.com/edgar_conv_img/2022/07/28/0000950103-22-013175_image_001.jpg) |
In Q2 2022, revenue increased 44.6% year-on-year,
fueled by positive organic growth in all business lines and countries, which more than offset the impact of weaker currencies in some
countries. Excluding the impact of the Guatemala acquisition and currency movements, revenue increased
5.5% on an organic basis.
Operating expenses increased 27.4% year-on-year,
reflecting increased sales and marketing costs to support customer growth, especially in our Colombia mobile business, as well as increased
investment to support the development and expansion of our Tigo Money fintech business. Energy costs, which amount to approximately 2%
of revenue, increased by more than 10% in many countries, but this impact was mitigated by savings in other areas. Excluding the impact
of the Guatemala acquisition and currency movements, operating expenses increased 4.4%.
Operating profit rose 99.6% year-on-year,
significantly outpacing revenue growth of 44.6% due mainly to the consolidation of Guatemala, where margins are above the Group average.
Net financial expenses increased $50 million
year-on-year, reflecting the increase in debt related to the Guatemala acquisition, partially offset by the benefit of refinancing activity
in the last 12 months. Other non-operating expense of $11 million largely reflects foreign exchange losses and compares to an expense
of $75 million in Q2 2021 related to foreign exchange losses and the revaluation of the put option liability in Panama.
Charge for taxes increased to $78 million in Q2
2022 from $33 million in Q2 2021 primarily due to the Guatemala acquisition as well as increased taxable profit in several other country
operations. Non-controlling interests amounted to an $18 million share of losses in Q2 2022 compared to $8 million in Q2 2021 reflecting
our partners' share of net losses in Colombia. Profit from discontinued operations of $117 million mainly reflects a gain on the
sale of our former Tanzania operation, which was sold on April 5.
Net profit attributable to owners of
the company was $129 million, or $1.14 per share, compared to a net loss of $100 million ($0.77 loss per share) in Q2 2021.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding during the quarter was 113.49 million, reflecting the rights offering completed in June
2022. As of June 30, 2022, we had 172,096,305 shares outstanding, including 1,229,092 held in treasury.

* See page 11 for a description of non-IFRS measures discussed in
the above table. On November 12, 2021, we acquired the remaining 45% interest in our Guatemala operation, and we began to consolidate
Guatemala as of that date. As a result, Cash Flow metrics for 2022 are not directly comparable to those of 2021, which did not include
Guatemala. Additionally, cash flow data includes our operation in Tanzania until its disposal on April 5, 2022.
Given
meaningful seasonal variations, commentary in this section emphasizes year-to-date rather than quarterly performance.
Operating
Free Cash Flow (OFCF) was $248 million in H1 2022, an increase of $146 million year-on-year, with most line items impacted primarily by
the consolidation of Guatemala. Working capital investment of $193 million reflects timing differences that typically revert in the second
half of the year. The level was roughly flat year-on-year despite the consolidation of Guatemala, reflecting typically-low working capital
requirements in that country, where prepaid mobile is a relatively larger contributor to revenue.
The increase
in taxes paid reflects primarily the effect of the Guatemala consolidation and related withholding taxes on the increased cash repatriation
from that country. Finance charges increased $11 million year-on-year in H1 but were flat in Q2,
as savings from refinancing activity offset the impact of higher average debt levels in Q2 of 2022 compared to Q2 of 2021.
Earnings Release Q2 2022 | ![](https://content.edgar-online.com/edgar_conv_img/2022/07/28/0000950103-22-013175_image_001.jpg) |
Finally,
repatriation from joint ventures and associates was $27 million in H1 2022, a decline of $10 million compared to H1 2021, which also included
Guatemala. As a result of the above factors, Equity Free Cash Flow (EFCF) was negative $73 million in H1, of which $12 million relates
to the Africa operation. Excluding Africa, EFCF increased by $118 million, as a result of the Guatemala acquisition and improved performance.
The negative EFCF in H1 is consistent with historical seasonal patterns, which primarily reflects the timing of annual cash payments for
capex booked in Q4 but paid in Q1, income taxes, frequency and software licenses, and variable compensation.

to the nearest equivalent IFRS measures. Cash includes term deposits of $3.2 million as of June 30, 2022. Proforma adjustments relate
to the acquisition of the Guatemala operation on November 12, 2021.
As of June 30, 2022, debt was
$6,864 million compared to $7,423 million at the end Q1 2022. The decline of $559 million reflects the proceeds from the rights
offering and the sale of the Tanzania business, offset by the repayment of the outstanding balance on the bridge loan and the acquisition
of the minority stake in Panama.
Approximately 62% of debt at June 30, 2022 was
held at our operating entities, and 38% was at the corporate level. The average interest rate on our debt increased to 5.8% from 5.5%
at the end of Q1 2022 mainly as a result of the increase in variable rates in Colombia. As of June 30, 2022, 41% of our debt was in local
currency or swapped for local currency slightly down from 42% as of March 31, 2022. In addition, 85% of our debt was at fixed rates or
swapped for fixed rates with an average maturity of 6.0 years, in line
with our targets. On our dollar-denominated debt1, the average rate was 5.0% with an average maturity
of 6.3 years as of June 30, 2022, unchanged from levels as of March 31, 2022.
Earnings Release Q2 2022 | ![](https://content.edgar-online.com/edgar_conv_img/2022/07/28/0000950103-22-013175_image_001.jpg) |
Our cash position was $779
million as of June 30, 2022, an increase of $80 million compared
to $699 million as of March 31, 2022, reflecting the previously stated activity in the quarter. Of our cash balance, 64% was
held in U.S. dollars. As a result, our net debt was $6,085 million as of June 30, 2022, a decrease of
$639 million during the quarter.
In addition, as of June 30, 2022, we had lease
liabilities of $1,034 million, which represented 13% of gross financial obligations. Including these lease liabilities, net financial
obligations were $7,118 million as of June 30, 2022, a decrease of $677 million during the
quarter, which mostly reflects the previously stated activity in the quarter, as well as the benefit of weaker foreign exchange rates
on our local currency debt. Leverage, which includes our lease obligations, was 3.14x as of June 30, 2022, decreasing from
3.46x as of March 31, 2022. Excluding the impact of leases, the ratio of net debt to EBITDAaL was 3.04x,
compared to 3.37x as of March 31, 2022.
Operating performance
The information contained herein can also be accessed electronically
in the Financial & Operating Data Excel file published at www.millicom.com/investors alongside this earnings release.
Business units
We discuss our performance under two principal
business units:
1. Mobile, including mobile data, mobile voice,
and mobile financial services (MFS) to consumer, business and government customers;
2. Cable and other fixed services, including broadband,
Pay TV, content, and fixed voice services for residential (Home) customers, as well as voice, data and value-added services and solutions
to business and government customers.
On occasion, we also discuss our performance by
customer type, with B2B referring to our business and government customers, while B2C includes residential and personal consumer groups.
Market environment
Economic activity remained steady in our markets
in Q2 2022, although inflation followed the global trend and was higher in the majority of our markets. Remittances from the U.S. to Central
America sustained strong growth year-on-year. Foreign exchange rate volatility increased in some of our markets, with the Costa Rican
colón and the Colombian peso both down about 10% during the quarter, while the currencies in other markets were significantly more
stable. Foreign exchange rates and movements are presented on page 14.

denominated bonds that have been swapped into US dollars.

Key Performance Indicators
Mobile
services
We ended Q2 2022 with
39.9 million customers, a decrease of 102,000 during the quarter mostly due to a change in commercial strategy in Bolivia that led to
a decline in low-ARPU prepaid users in that country. This more than offset robust postpaid net additions of 226,000, of which more than
150,000 were in Colombia. 4G smartphone data users continue to grow and now account for 48% of our mobile customer base, up from 45% in
Q2 2021.
Mobile ARPU
declined 2.0% year-on-year partly due to weaker foreign exchange rates. In local currency terms, ARPU increased almost 7% in Colombia,
and was also up sequentially, driven by the ongoing shift in mix toward postpaid.

Broadband
and other fixed services
At the end of Q2 2022, our networks passed 12.4
million homes, an increase of 211,000 during the quarter, as we continued to ramp up our build. Additionally, we recently signed landmark
wholesale agreements with ETB and Ufinet that give us access to approximately 1.5 million incremental homes through a variable cost, infrastructure-light
model, more than doubling our commercial reach in Bogota, Colombia's largest city.
In the quarter, we added 21,000 net HFC/FTTH customer
relationships, reflecting stable churn levels and softer gross additions, as consumer demand for communications services has shifted from
home to mobile as workers gradually returned to the workplace. In addition, lower net additions in Colombia reflect increased competition
as well as a commercial decision to slow new sales to some economic segments in order to mitigate the risk of higher churn in future periods.
Penetration on our HFC/FTTH network increased to 33.5%, an increase of 0.1 percentage points from 33.4% in Q2 2021.
Earnings Release Q2 2022 | ![](https://content.edgar-online.com/edgar_conv_img/2022/07/28/0000950103-22-013175_image_001.jpg) |
Home ARPU declined 4.5%
year-on-year, due largely to weaker currencies. Excluding the currency impact, Home ARPU declined 1.9% due to the shift in mix toward
Broadband-only customers, which generate lower ARPU. In local currency, ARPU increased in El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Panama,
while ARPU declined in the remaining countries. In Paraguay, piracy also impacted demand for our Pay TV services, affecting both net additions
and ARPU, which declined double-digits in Q2. However, law enforcement authorities recently detained some individuals and shut down their
large illegal pay TV operations in the country.
Financial indicators
In Q2 2022, revenue increased
44.6% year-on-year to $1,447 million, while service revenue increased 39.1% to $1,315 million. Adjusting for the acquisition of Guatemala
and for currency movements, organic service revenue growth was 4.5% year-on-year,
reflecting a fourth consecutive quarter of positive growth in all countries and business units.
Colombia led the group with strong 8.5% local currency
growth driven by 16.9% B2C mobile growth and mid single-digit B2B growth, while the Home business was flat due to the previously-mentioned
change in commercial strategy and a decline in Pay TV customers, as well as more intense competition. El Salvador sustained its strong
performance, with service revenue growing 6.9%, driven by growth in every business unit including double digit B2B growth. In Paraguay,
5.6% service revenue growth was due to double-digit B2B growth
and from a fifth consecutive quarter of growth in consumer mobile, while growth in Home was flattered by an adverse $4 million one-off
in Q2 2021. Excluding the impact of this one-off, Paraguay service revenue grew 2.3%. Finally, organic service revenue
grew 7.4% in Nicaragua, 2.4% in Bolivia, 3.6% in Costa Rica, and 1.1% in Guatemala,
which improved compared to Q1.

By business
unit, Home service revenue grew 3.5% organically, impacted by lower customer intake and a
1.9% organic decline in ARPU. In our consumer Mobile business, organic service revenue grew 4.4% year-on-year, driven by postpaid. Finally,
B2B service revenue organic growth accelerated to 5.7% organically, with Paraguay and El Salvador posting double-digit growth in the quarter.
EBITDA was
$577 million, an increase of 68.5% year-on-year, and an improvement from $564 million in Q1 22. Excluding the acquisition of Guatemala
and changes in FX rate, EBITDA increased 4.6% organically year-on-year, reflecting growth in most countries.
By country, EBITDA local currency growth was solid
in Costa Rica (13.3%), El Salvador (10.5%), Bolivia (7.3%), and Nicaragua (1.5%), while growth
was slightly negative in Guatemala (-0.1%) and Honduras (-0.7%). Colombia EBITDA returned to growth for the first time in a year, growing
4.0% as we lapsed the increase in marketing and promotional spend related to the launch of new postpaid plans in Q2 2021. Colombia EBITDA
was adversely affected by the settlement of a dispute resulting in a $4 million one-off in the quarter. Excluding this one-off, growth
would have been 8.2%. Panama EBITDA grew 15.6% in the quarter, although this was flattered by a favorable one-off of $5 million following
a favorable court decision on a legal dispute. Adjusting for this one-off Panama EBITDA would have grown 8.6%. Paraguay grew 4.2%, although
this was flattered by an adverse $4 million one-off in Q2 2021. Excluding the impact of this one-off, Paraguay EBITDA would have declined
2.5%.
Capex was
$255 million in the quarter. In Mobile, we added more than 365 points of presence to our 4G network during the quarter, and we
ended with more than 16,756 points of presence, an increase of 18% year-on-year. At the end of Q2 2022, our 4G networks covered approximately
78% of the population (which is approximately 120 million in our markets), up from approximately 75% at
June 30, 2021.
Operating
Cash Flow (OCF) increased 108.8% year-on-year to $322 million in Q2 2022. Excluding
the impact of the acquisition of Guatemala and currencies, OCF declined 0.7% organically, due to capex phasing in 2022, which is more
front loaded than in 2021.

ESG highlights
– Q2 2022
Our purpose in action
In June, we announced that we had joined to U.S. Vice-President Kamala
Harris’s Call to Action for a Partnership for Central America (PCA), which she launched in May 2021. As a member of the PCA, and
as part of our ongoing commitment to the region, we announced investments aimed at expanding our fixed and mobile broadband networks in
Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador over the next two years. These investment will advance our efforts to accelerate economic growth via
increased connectivity, as penetration rates for broadband in these markets are still below regional averages.
Environment
Our first near-term emissions targets have been validated by the Science
Based Targets initiative and are as follows: “Millicom International Cellular S.A. commits to reduce absolute scope 1 and scope
2 GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 from a 2020 base year. Millicom International Cellular S.A. also commits to reduce absolute scope 3 GHG
emissions by 20% by 2035 from a 2020 base year.”
As part of the target-setting process, the required emissions reduction
trajectory has been calculated and we are building our transition plan against it, jointly with our Operations, Engineering, Supply Chain
and Facilities teams to ensure projects are on track to meet the expected yearly reductions. Initiatives include energy efficiency projects,
increased use of renewables and, where available, market instruments such as Renewable Energy Certificates and Power Purchase Agreements,
as we already have in Colombia and Panama, respectively.
Society
Digital Education
We finalized the launch of the web applications for our Conectadas program
in April as well as Maestr@s Conectad@s in June; the former targeting women and the latter teachers and educators seeking to acquire additional
digital skills which in this moment are of the essence to ensure educational continuity as well as capillarity. With online platforms
for our women and teacher training programs, we now have global reach and make our content available to anyone who wants to gain new skills
in the use of digital tools.
With the Fundación Real Madrid Alliance launch in Paraguay last
June, the program has now full regional presence. All operations are currently exploring how to further integrate our ESG trainings and
seminars so to involve the ecosystem surrounding children (parents, mentors, educators).
Supply Chain Management
After the successful first year of the online platform, we are getting
ready to kick off the Supplier training for 2022, with updated content to reflect our newly announced climate commitments. In addition
to this, our regional Procurement team has identified and is engaging key vendors among top Scope 3 emissions categories for mutual support
towards shared goals and create synergies that support progress towards our targets.

Governance
Compliance
Continuing the progressive rollout of our revised policies via scheduled,
formal launches, in Q2 2022, we launched the Company’s revised Anti-Money Laundering and Gifts & Hospitality policies through
globally-disseminated messages by the AML Director and CFO, respectively. The policies are now in effect and published on our external
website. They are also available to our employees in our internal policy repository. Other revised policies will be formally launched
throughout the year with a similar communication campaign. In addition, we continued targeted face-to-face training, of selected departments,
to supplement our organization-wide compliance training.

Non-IFRS Measures
This press release contains financial measures
not prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures are referred to as “non-IFRS” measures and include: non-IFRS service
revenue, non-IFRS EBITDA, and non-IFRS Capex, among others defined below. Annual growth rates for these non-IFRS measures are often expressed
in organic constant currency terms to exclude the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates, the adoption of new accounting standards,
and are proforma for material changes in perimeter due to acquisitions and divestitures. The non-IFRS financial measures are presented
in this press release as Millicom’s management believes they provide investors with an additional information for the analysis of
Millicom’s results of operations, particularly in evaluating performance from one period to another. Millicom’s management
uses non-IFRS financial measures to make operating decisions, as they facilitate additional internal comparisons of Millicom’s performance
to historical results and to competitors' results, and provides them to investors as a supplement to Millicom’s reported results
to provide additional insight into Millicom’s operating performance. Millicom’s Remuneration Committee uses certain non-IFRS
measures when assessing the performance and compensation of employees, including Millicom’s executive directors.
The non-IFRS financial measures used by Millicom
may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies - refer
to the section “Non-IFRS Financial Measure Descriptions” for additional information. In addition, these non-IFRS measures
should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for, or as superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS, and
Millicom’s financial results calculated in accordance with IFRS and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully
evaluated.
Following the changes in perimeter following the
Guatemala acquisition and the Africa disposal, Millicom's management modified the company's external reporting with the primary objective
of simplifying it. As a result, the Group has discontinued the use of the following non-IFRS measures: Proportionate financial obligations,
Proportionate leverage, Proportionate leverage after leases, and all Underlying measures (as these mainly reflected the full consolidation
of Guatemala). The definitions of EBITDA and Return on Invested Capital have been adjusted to reflect this change. In addition, the Group
changed the definition of Equity Free Cash Flow to include spectrum paid and lease principal repayments in response to feedback from users
of our financial statements who prefer a more comprehensive view of our cash flow generation. As a result we no longer refer to Equity
Free Cash Flow 'after Leases'.
Non-IFRS Financial Measure Descriptions

dividends to non-controlling interests, plus cash repatriation from joint ventures and associates.
Operating Profit
After Tax displays the profit generated from the operations of the company after statutory taxes.
Return on Invested
Capital (ROIC) is used to assess the Group’s efficiency at allocating the capital under its control to and is defined
as Operating Profit After Tax divided by the average invested Capital during the period.
Average Invested
Capital is the capital invested in the company operation throughout the year and is calculated with the average of opening
and closing balances of the total assets minus current liabilities (excluding debt, joint ventures, accrued interests, deferred and current
tax, cash as well as investments and non-controlling interests), less assets and liabilities held for sale.
Average Revenue
per User per Month (ARPU) for our Mobile customers is (x) the total mobile and mobile financial services revenue (excluding
revenue earned from tower rentals, call center, data and mobile virtual network operator, visitor roaming, national third parties roaming
and mobile telephone equipment sales revenue) for the period, divided by (y) the average number of mobile subscribers for the period,
divided by (z) the number of months in the period. We define ARPU for our Home customers in our Latin America segment as (x) the total
Home revenue (excluding equipment sales, TV advertising and equipment rental) for the period, divided by (y) the average number of customer
relationships for the period, divided by (z) the number of months in the period. ARPU is not subject to a standard industry definition
and our definition of ARPU may be different from other industry participants.
