56,000 postpaid and broadband net adds in Q3

Operating Income of $181 million; 3% Adjusted OIBDA rebased YoY growth

Improving financial momentum anticipated in Q4

Over $150 million of share repurchases to date in 2026

DENVER, Colorado--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Liberty Latin America Ltd. (“Liberty Latin America” or “LLA”) (NASDAQ: LILA and LILAK, OTC Link: LILAB) today announced its financial and operating results for the three months (“Q3”) and nine months (“YTD”) ended September 30, 2026.

President and CEO Balan Nair commented, “In the third quarter, we delivered a strong operating performance, adding 56,000 postpaid mobile and broadband subscribers, representing a clear step-up from both Q1 and Q2. C&W Panama led the way with the largest contribution, while Liberty Costa Rica returned to a healthier cadence of postpaid additions.”

“Commercially, we continue to be opportunistic on targeting price increases across the group, notably in Panama through Q3 and, more recently, in Jamaica. We also rolled out Liberty-Starlink partnerships during the quarter, launching direct-to-cell propositions in Panama and Costa Rica.”

“Our Adjusted OIBDA momentum carried into the third quarter, with rebased growth of 3% and margin expansion of 160 basis points YoY supported by continued efforts to improve our cost base. We anticipate improving momentum in both revenue and Adjusted OIBDA in the fourth quarter as we move into the key holiday selling season and benefit from phasing of B2B.”

“YTD Adjusted FCF before distributions to partners came in almost $140 million ahead of the same period in 2025. As is typical for us, we expect the bulk of our cash flow to land in the fourth quarter.”

“Since the distribution of Preference shares in June, our capital allocation reflects a marked acceleration in repurchases of our common equity. Through 2026 to date, we have deployed over $150 million in repurchases, equivalent to nearly 10% of 2025 year-end common shares outstanding. We intend to stay disciplined and opportunistic as regards future share repurchases.”

Business Highlights

  • Liberty Caribbean: Operational gains drive sequential Adjusted OIBDA improvement
    • Postpaid and broadband net adds, on the back of solid FMC execution
    • Standout B2B contribution, underpinned by major project wins
  • C&W Panama: Largest contributor to group broadband and postpaid net additions
    • Residential revenue growth accelerates to 4% YoY
    • YoY headwind from phasing of B2B revenue
  • Liberty Networks: Continued solid demand for capacity
    • Strong Enterprise performance in Colombia & Dominican Republic
    • El Salvador project resulting in significant costs not matched by in-period revenue
  • Liberty Puerto Rico: Steady Adjusted OIBDA margin improvement
    • Continued postpaid additions from SIM-only product
    • Further price increases on residential to support revenue
  • Liberty Costa Rica: Adjusted OIBDA rebased growth of 8% YoY
    • Return to healthy postpaid net adds; stable broadband base in competitive market
    • Cost efficiencies program driving down operating expenses

N.M. – Not Meaningful.

  • Reported revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was broadly flat and 1% higher, respectively, compared with the corresponding prior-year periods. Rebased revenue over the respective periods was 2% and 1% lower.
    • The flat year-over-year rebased revenue performance at Liberty Networks and Liberty Costa Rica was more than offset by declines at C&W Panama, Liberty Puerto Rico and, to a lesser extent, Liberty Caribbean.

Q3 2026 Revenue Growth – Segment Highlights

(All growth rates are year-over-year unless otherwise specified)

  • Liberty Caribbean: revenue declined 1%, as growth in B2B and residential mobile was more than offset by lower residential fixed revenue.
    • B2B revenue increased 6%, driven by higher project revenue, including wins in the Bahamas and Curaçao as well as continued mobile growth across the region.
    • Residential mobile service revenue grew 6%, aided by postpaid additions from rising FMC penetration and supportive pricing.
    • Residential fixed subscription revenue declined 9% on a rebased basis, reflecting a lower subscriber base mainly in Jamaica.
  • C&W Panama: revenue declined 5%. Total residential revenue grew 4%, with residential mobile service revenue up 6% on continued postpaid growth and residential fixed subscription revenue up 3%; this was more than offset by a 19% decline in B2B revenue on the phasing of government project revenue.
  • Liberty Networks: revenue increased 5% on a reported basis and was broadly flat on a rebased basis. Enterprise growth, especially in Colombia and the Dominican Republic, was offset by lower Wholesale impacted by lower IRU non-cash amortizations.
  • Liberty Puerto Rico: revenue was down 3%. B2B and residential fixed declined 5% and 3%, respectively, while mobile revenue saw postpaid growth more than offset by declines in prepaid.
    • Sequentially, trends continue to be robust, with a full year of consecutive quarterly postpaid net additions and continued momentum from the SIM-only offer supporting mobile revenue growth.
  • Liberty Costa Rica: revenue increased 12% on a reported basis and was broadly flat on a rebased basis.
    • The rebased result is a combination of 4% residential mobile revenue growth on strong postpaid additions, offset by a 7% decline in residential fixed revenue due to competitive ARPU pressure and an 8% decline in B2B driven by lower project revenue.

Operating Income

  • We reported operating income (loss) of $181 million and $188 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $508 million and ($17 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
    • The decrease for the three-month comparison is primarily due to the net effect of (i) higher depreciation and (ii) an increase in Adjusted OIBDA. The improvement for the nine-month comparison is primarily due to (i) a decline in impairment, restructuring and other operating items, as we incurred impairment on spectrum assets during 2025 and (ii) increase in Adjusted OIBDA.

  • Adjusted OIBDA on a reported basis for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 was up 5% and 3%, respectively, over the prior-year periods. On a rebased basis, Adjusted OIBDA was up 3% and 2% over the corresponding periods.
    • Strong year-over-year rebased growth at Liberty Costa Rica and Liberty Puerto Rico, more than offset a decline at Liberty Networks.

Q3 2026 Adjusted OIBDA Growth – Segment Highlights

(All growth rates are year-over-year unless otherwise specified)

  • Liberty Caribbean: Adjusted OIBDA was broadly flat, with lower bad debt offsetting softer revenue. Sequential Adjusted OIBDA once again stepped up this quarter.
  • C&W Panama: Adjusted OIBDA grew 1%, reflecting lower direct costs.
  • Liberty Networks: Adjusted OIBDA declined 15% on a reported and 16% on a rebased basis, reflecting the phasing of the El Salvador build, whereby direct costs were incurred but not matched by in-period revenue recognition.
  • Liberty Puerto Rico: Adjusted OIBDA increased 8%, on lower equipment and interconnect costs, including the elimination of MVNO fees. Sequential Adjusted OIBDA also increased on lower costs in the quarter.
  • Liberty Costa Rica: Adjusted OIBDA increased 21% on a reported basis and 8% on a rebased basis, with the margin expanding around 300 basis points to approximately 40%, reflecting the ongoing roll-out of cost-saving initiatives.

Glossary

Adjusted OIBDA – 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.

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 to annualized operating income from the most recent two consecutive fiscal quarters.

Customer Relationships – The number of customers who receive at least one of our video, internet or telephony services that we count as RGUs, without regard to which or to how many services they subscribe. To the extent that RGU counts include equivalent billing unit (“EBU”) adjustments, we reflect corresponding adjustments to our customer relationship counts. For further information regarding our EBU calculation, see Additional General Notes below. Customer relationships generally are counted on a unique premises basis. Accordingly, if an individual receives our services in two premises (e.g., a primary home and a vacation home), that individual generally will count as two customer relationships. We exclude mobile-only customers from customer relationships.

FMC – Fixed-mobile convergence.

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 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 less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. 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.

NPV – Represents the $250 million estimated pre-tax cash flow savings which we expect to generate over the life of the contract

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.

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, 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, (iv) consolidated leverage ratios, and (v) Adjusted OIBDA less property and equipment additions on a consolidated basis. 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 is a non-U.S. GAAP measure. Adjusted OIBDA is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision maker, who is our Chief Executive Officer, 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. 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 or loss.

Adjusted OIBDA Less Property and Equipment Additions

We define Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions, which is a non-GAAP measure, as Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions on an accrual basis. Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions is a meaningful measure because it provides (i) a transparent view of Adjusted OIBDA that remains after our capital spend, which we believe is important to take into account when evaluating our overall performance and (ii) a comparable view of our performance relative to other telecommunications companies. Our Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions measure may differ from how other companies define and apply their definition of similar measures. Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions should be viewed as a measure of operating performance that is a supplement to, and not substitute for, U.S. GAAP measure of income included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

A reconciliation of our operating income or loss to total Adjusted OIBDA, and Adjusted OIBDA less property and equipment additions is presented in the following table:

  3. Calculated by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenue for the applicable period.

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, and (iii) proceeds received in connection with handset receivables securitization, 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 periods:

  1. For purposes of our consolidated statements of cash flows, expenses financed by an intermediary, including value-added taxes, 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 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 on a comparable basis for all businesses that we owned during the current year, we reflect the translation of our rebased amounts for the prior-year periods at the applicable average foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate our results for the corresponding current-year periods.

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 table sets 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 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 ratios as supplements to, and not substitutes for, the ratios calculated based upon measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reconciliations of the numerator and denominator used to calculate the consolidated leverage and net leverage ratios as of September 30, 2026 and June 30, 2026 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.
  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 September 30, 2026. A reconciliation of our operating income to Adjusted OIBDA for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026 is presented in the following table:

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 for our borrowing groups 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.

A reconciliation of C&W's operating income to Adjusted OIBDA and Proportionate Adjusted OIBDA is presented in the following table:

Key Terms

non-gaap financial
Non-GAAP refers to financial measures that companies use to show their earnings or performance without including certain expenses or income that are often added back to give a different picture. It matters because it can make a company's results look better or more favorable, but it may also hide important costs, so investors need to look at both GAAP (official rules) and non-GAAP numbers to get a full understanding.

arpu technical
ARPU, or Average Revenue Per User, measures how much money a company earns, on average, from each of its customers over a set period. It helps investors understand how effectively a business is generating income from its customer base, similar to calculating how much each customer spends at a store. Higher ARPU often indicates stronger sales per customer and better revenue performance.
mvno technical
An MVNO, or Mobile Virtual Network Operator, is a company that offers mobile phone services by leasing network access from major wireless providers instead of owning the infrastructure itself. This allows them to sell phone plans at competitive prices and target specific customer groups. For investors, MVNOs represent a way to participate in the telecom industry’s revenue without the high costs of building and maintaining network towers.
