Millicom (Tigo) Q3 2023 Earnings Release

Luxembourg, October 26, 2023 – Millicom is pleased to announce its third quarter 2023 results. Please find below links to the Q3 2023 Earnings Release and IAS 34 Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Highlights*

  • Revenue grew 2.6%, reflecting both organic growth and the effect of stronger currencies. Excluding currency impacts, revenue increased 1.4% year-on-year.
  • Service revenue increased 1.8% organically, as Mobile accelerated to 3.0% in Q3 fueled by improved ARPU trends, while Fixed and other services was flat.
  • Operating profit increased 6.8%, as increased profit from joint ventures and other income more than offset a 1.2% decline in EBITDA, which was impacted by $33 million of one-off severance costs and a legal ruling. Excluding one-off items in both years, organic EBITDA growth was 2.6%, in excess of service revenue growth.
  • Operating cash flow increased 23.3% to $353 million, as a result of capital allocation and price discipline in our Home business in some countries.
  • Equity free cash flow of $100 million in the quarter, up strongly from $26 million in Q3 2022. We reiterate our guidance of cumulative EFCF of at least $500 million for the 2022-2024 period.

Millicom Chief Executive Officer Mauricio Ramos commented:

"During the third quarter, we continued to advance on the four key priorities I outlined last quarter:

  • Colombia: performance was solid with 9% EBITDA local currency growth, record EBITDA margins, and OCF growth of more than 70% year-to-date; we obtained regulatory approval to share our mobile network and spectrum with Telefonica's; and in October, we reached an agreement with our partner EPM to jointly capitalize the business to tap the growth and value creation potential we see in that market;
  • Guatemala: we have achieved our objective of sustaining our market share and leadership; we acquired spectrum critical to preserving our brand quality; we took price action to mitigate the effects of inflation, and we saw signs of stabilization during the quarter;
  • Project Everest: during Q3, we significantly increased the scope and accelerated the implementation of our efficiency program; the actions taken in Q3 are expected to add $35 million to our original $100 million target, with more initiatives planned for Q4.
  • Lati, our Tower and Infrastructure company: we began transferring tower assets to Lati in October, and we expect to launch a monetization process in Q4.

The steps we are taking position the company to achieve its equity free cash flow target of at least $500 million in the 2022-2024 period"
