Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Millicom International Cellular S.A. reported strong top-line expansion for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Revenue reached $4,164 million, up 52.3% year-on-year, with service revenue of $3,900 million, driven by consolidation of Coltel in Colombia, the 2025 acquisitions in Ecuador and Uruguay, and currency appreciation. Adjusted EBITDA rose to $1,866 million (up 46.8%), and operating profit was $877 million. Net cash from operating activities increased to $1,301 million, while equity free cash flow excluding divestitures grew to $552 million.

Despite this, net profit attributable to owners declined to $218 million (EPS $1.30) from $869 million, reflecting the absence of last year’s $604 million Lati gain, higher depreciation and amortization, increased net financial expenses of $516 million, and a $32 million goodwill impairment in Costa Rica. Total assets rose to $20,679 million, with net debt of $8,075 million and leverage at 2.73x. Based on the stronger cash generation, Millicom raised its 2026 equity free cash flow guidance to around $1.1 billion and lowered its year-end leverage target to below 2.5x. Shareholders approved a $3.00-per-share dividend, and the board later authorized an additional interim dividend of $1.50 per share for early 2027. Management also notes employment-related proceedings in Guatemala and a new, more volatile FX regime in Bolivia as key uncertainties, while the independent auditor’s review concluded the interim financial statements comply with IAS 34.

Positive

  • Full-year 2026 equity free cash flow guidance was raised from at least $900 million to around $1.1 billion, while the year-end leverage target was tightened from around 2.5x to below 2.5x.
  • H1 2026 equity free cash flow excluding divestitures grew to $552 million, up 56.4% year-on-year, supported by a 46.8% increase in Adjusted EBITDA to $1,866 million.
  • Shareholder returns are significant: an AGM-approved dividend of $3.00 per share in four installments plus an additional interim dividend of $1.50 per share payable in January and April 2027.

Negative

  • Net profit attributable to owners fell to $218 million (EPS $1.30) in H1 2026 from $869 million (EPS $5.17) a year earlier, reflecting loss of one-off gains, higher depreciation and amortization, and increased financing costs.
  • Net debt climbed to $8.08 billion with leverage at 2.73x, as acquisition-related payments, higher local-currency debt and FX effects outweighed strong cash generation; H1 interest and other financial expenses totaled $540 million.
  • The Group recorded a $32 million goodwill impairment in Costa Rica and faces employment-related claims in Guatemala within total legal exposures of $296 million, against provisions of $47 million booked for claims and risks.

Filing Explained

At June 30, $1,095 million of debt was due within one year against $861 million cash; July added $44 million loans and repaid $102 million.

As a Form 6-K, this filing furnishes interim material information from a foreign private issuer; the company reports an unaudited six-month report through June 30, 2026 and updates its disclosed debt and other obligations.

At June 30, 2026, debt and financing totaled $8,742 million, including $1,095 million due within one year, while cash and cash equivalents were $861 million.

After the reporting period, Bolivia entered five loans adding approximately BOB 439.7 million ($44 million), while Coltel repaid approximately $102 million of credit facilities.

The filing reports $296 million of claims against the group with $47 million provisioned, and $380 million of tax-risk exposure with $40 million recorded in provisions; these figures distinguish disclosed exposure from amounts already provided.

Fixed capital commitments totaled $380 million, of which $358 million were due within one year.

Watch the provisional purchase accounting: the Coltel measurement period runs no longer than 12 months from February 6, 2026, while Uruguay and Ecuador finalizations were expected before Q3 2026 and October 29, 2026, respectively.

Equity free cash flow financial
"Millicom is raising its full-year 2026 EFCF guidance from at least $900 million to around $1.1 billion"
Equity free cash flow is the amount of cash a company generates that is available to pay shareholders after it pays operating costs, reinvests in the business, and handles debt-related payments and borrowings. Think of it as the household money left over after paying bills, fixing the house, and settling loans—funds that could be used for dividends, share buybacks, or retained for future needs. Investors use it to judge how much real cash a company can return to owners and to value a stock.
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"Adjusted EBITDA exceeded $1.01 billion for the first time in Millicom’s history"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Goodwill impairment financial
"a $32 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to Costa Rica"
Goodwill impairment occurs when a company’s valued reputation or brand strength, known as goodwill, is found to be worth less than previously recorded on its financial statements. This usually happens when the company's performance declines or market conditions change, signaling that the expected benefits from acquisitions or brand value are no longer as strong. It matters to investors because it can indicate that a company's assets are less valuable than initially thought, potentially affecting its overall financial health.
Joint venture financial
"Millicom's share of profit/loss in joint ventures and associate was $(3) million in H1 2026"
A joint venture is when two or more companies team up to work on a specific project or business idea, sharing both the risks and the rewards. It’s like friends starting a lemonade stand together—each contributes resources and they split the profits, making it easier to succeed than going alone.
IAS 34 regulatory
"prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting"
IAS 34 is an international accounting standard that requires companies to prepare interim financial reports—shorter updates like quarterly or half‑year statements—showing condensed but reliable information on profit, assets and cash flow between annual reports. It matters to investors because these regular snapshots make it easier to spot trends, risks or improvements sooner than waiting for a full-year report, much like checking a progress report between school terms to track performance and momentum.

Why did Millicom (TIGO) net profit decline despite higher revenue in H1 2026?

Group performance

 

The acquisitions of Coltel, Ecuador and Uruguay significantly affect comparability with the prior-year period, as noted by caption below.

 

Revenue

 

Group revenue increased 52.3%  ($1,429 million) year-on-year to $4,164 million in H1 2026, primarily driven by the inclusion of Coltel following its acquisition in February 2026, together with the full-period contribution from the Ecuador and Uruguay acquisitions completed in late 2025. Foreign currency appreciation in several markets, particularly Colombia, Paraguay and Bolivia, also positively impacted reported revenue.

 

Equipment, programming and other direct costs

 

Equipment, programming and other direct costs  increased at a rate of 62.0% ($389 million) year-on-year to $1,017 million, mainly due to the contribution from the Coltel acquisition in Colombia, the acquisitions in Ecuador and Uruguay and the impact of appreciation of  local currencies against the U.S. dollar.

 

Operating expenses

 

Operating expenses increased 53.2% ($445 million) year-on-year to $1,281 million, mainly due to the contribution from the Coltel acquisition in Colombia, the acquisitions in Ecuador and Uruguay, stronger local currencies towards the U.S. dollar and severances primarily in Coltel and Tigo Colombia for $91 million.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation increased 73.4% ($325 million) year-on-year to $767 million, mainly driven by the contribution from the Coltel acquisition in Colombia, the acquisitions in Ecuador and Uruguay and stronger local currencies towards the U.S. dollar. Amortization also increased 44.1% ($67 million) year-on-year due to the same reasons.  

 

Share of profit/loss in Honduras joint venture and Chile associate

 

Millicom's share of profit/loss in joint ventures and associate was $(3) million in H1 2026; such a decrease year-on-year reflects the performance of our joint venture in Honduras and our associate in Chile.

 

Other operating income (expenses), net

 

Other operating income (expenses), net, decreased by $72 million year-on-year. 1H 2026 mainly includes gains from the derecognition of leases and dismantling provisions in Guatemala for an aggregate amount of approximately $39 million (refer to note 3) but offset by the Costa Rica goodwill impairment for $32 million (refer to Note 15), 1H 2025 mainly included gains from the Mobile Network sharing agreement in Colombia and the sale of other assets in Nicaragua for a total aggregate amount of approximately  $65 million (refer to note 3 and 8).

 

 

 

 

Financial income/(expense), net

 

Financial income (expenses), net increased by $187 million year-on year to $516 million primarily due to additional debt and lease obligations assumed through the acquisition of Coltel, Ecuador and Uruguay, together with financing raised to fund acquisitions.

 

Sale of Lati International and Lati Paraguay

 

For 1H 2025, sale of Lati International and Lati Paraguay of $604 million reflected the gain of the partial closing of the sale of LATI International S.A. to SBA and to a lesser extent to the sale of Lati Paraguay to Atis Group (refer to note 3).

 

Other non-operating (expenses) income, net

 

Loss from other non-operating items was $1 million in H1 2026 compared to a gain of $9 million in H1 2025 mainly driven by foreign exchange losses, and changes in fair value of derivatives.

 

Charges for taxes, net

 

Tax expense was $182 million in H1 2026, increasing from $172 million in H1 2025, mainly due to the effect of the sale of infrastructure last year,  partially offset by the tax charge for the new operations in 2026.

 

Net profit/ (loss) for the period

 

Net profit attributable to the owners of the Company was $218 million or 1.30 per share for H1 2026 compared to a net profit of $869 million or $5.17 per share in H1 2025.

 

Non-controlling interests share of net loss was $42 million in H1 2026 (reflecting the non-controlling shareholding still in certain operations in Colombia after EPM's acquisition and those related to the non-controlling shareholder in Coltel before La Nación's acquisition) compared to a net gain of $22 million in H1 2025, reflecting the share of profits/losses in Tigo Colombia, before EPM's acquisition.

 

Share  Capital

 

At June 30, 2026 and June 30, 2025, Millicom had 169 million issued and paid up common shares of par value $1.50 each,  out of which 1,290 thousand were held by the Company as treasury shares (June 30, 2025: 1,962 thousand). During H1 2026, the Company withheld approximately 171 thousand  shares for the settlement of tax obligations on behalf of the employees under the share-based compensation schemes, did not repurchase any shares  and issued around 788 thousand shares under the same schemes as part of their annual remuneration.

 

Shareholder remuneration policy

 

On May 20, 2026, the Annual General Meeting of  shareholders (following Board's proposal) approved a dividend of $3.00 per share payable in four equal quarterly installments: $0.75/share in July, 2026; $0.75/ share in October, 2026: $0.75/share in January, 2027 and; $0.75/share in April, 2027.

 

On 14 January, 2025 Millicom's Board announced the approval of a new shareholder remuneration policy under which it proposes to resume regular cash dividends sustaining or growing cash dividends every year while maintaining a prudent capital structure. Following the above mentioned announcements:

 

1.On 26 February, 2025 Millicom's Board approved an additional interim dividend, of $0.75/share  paid on 15 April 2025.  

 

2.On May 21, 2025,  the Annual General Meeting of shareholders (following Board's proposal) approved, a dividend of $3.00 per share, paid in four equal quarterly installments: 0.75 per share on 15 July, 2025; $0.75 per share on 15 October, 2025: $0.75 per share on 15 January, 2026; and $0.75 per share on 15 April, 2026.

 

3.       On August 6, 2025, Millicom's Board approved an additional interim dividend of $2.50 per share, paid in two equal installments of $1.25 per share, on October 15, 2025 and April 15, 2026.

 

On November 29, 2024, Millicom's Board approved an interim dividend of $1.00 per share (or its equivalent in SEK per SDR) for approximately $172 million paid on January 10, 2025.

 

 

 

 

Risks and uncertainty factors

 

During the first half of 2026, there were developments in certain employment-related proceedings involving former executives of the Group's Guatemala operations, including enforcement actions and ongoing appellate and constitutional review proceedings.  The Group continues to contest these claims and pursue available legal remedies. Further information is provided in Note 13 to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Group operates in multiple jurisdictions where litigation and regulatory proceedings may involve extended timelines and several levels of judicial review. Accordingly, the timing and ultimate resolution of such matters may remain uncertain for extended periods.

 

The macroeconomic environment in our markets was relatively favorable during 2Q 2026, with the Colombian Peso, Paraguayan Guarani and Bolivian Boliviano appreciating year over year 16.3%, 28.8% and 58.1% respectively against the U.S. Dollar, impacting results during the period. During the quarter the Bolivian government transitioned from a fixed exchange rate peg to a flexible, market-driven regime, introducing elevated foreign exchange volatility and macroeconomic risk to our local operations.

 

We continue to monitor these developments closely and assess their potential impact on our operations and financial position.

 

Financial risk management objectives and policies

 

Millicom’s financial risk management policies and objectives remain unchanged compared to what the Group presented in Section D. Financial risk management of the 2025 consolidated financial statements (included in Group's 2025 Annual Report).

 

Internal controls and Governance in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are set out in the Governance section from pages 125 to 151 in Group's 2025 Annual Report.

 

Related-Party transactions

 

Millicom conducts transactions with certain related parties on normal commercial terms and conditions. Related party transactions are subject to the review of the audit and compliance committee of the Company's board of directors.  For further details on Millicom Group’s material related parties please refer to note G.5. of the 2025 consolidated financial statements (included in Group's 2025 Annual Report).

 

Outlook1

 

Millicom is raising its full-year 2026 EFCF guidance from at least $900 million to around $1.1 billion, while lowering its year-end leverage target from around 2.5x to below 2.5x. These targets include restructuring costs associated with all acquired businesses.

 

Subsequent events

 

Interim cash dividend

 

On August 5, 2026, Millicom's Board approved an interim dividend of $1.50 per share. The dividend will be distributed in two equal installments of $0.75 per share, on January 15, 2027 and April 15, 2027.

 

Financing

 

Bolivia: In July 2026, Bolivia entered into five different bank local loans (three with a one-year term and two with a five-year term) with Banco de Credito de Bolivia, Banco Nacional de Bolivia and Banco BISA, adding an aggregate  amount of BOB 439.7 million (approximately $44 million).

 

Colombia (Coltel): In July 2026, Coltel repaid approximately $102 million of the outstanding credit facilities denominated in COP and U.S. dollars  with Banco de Occidente, Bladex and J.P.  Morgan.

REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Introduction

 

We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Millicom International Cellular S.A., its subsidiaries, and joint ventures (the “Group”) as of 30 June 2026, which comprise the interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2026, the related interim condensed consolidated statement of income, the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the interim condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity, the interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended and notes to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, Interim Financial Reporting, (“IAS 34”) as adopted by the European Union.  Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on our review.

 

Scope of Review

 

We conducted our review in accordance with the 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.

 

Conclusion

 

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, ‘Interim Financial Reporting’ as adopted by the European Union.

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements

 

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 fixed 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 August 5, 2026, the Board of Directors authorized these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for issuance.

 

2. SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

I.Basis of presentation

 

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 period ended December 31, 2025, 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, 2025 consolidated financial statements.

 

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.

 

Foreign currency

 

In accordance with the Amendments to IAS 21, 'The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates', effective as of January 1, 2025, the Group evaluated the exchangeability of the Boliviano (BOB). Based on this evaluation, the Group determined that the BOB was not exchangeable and, accordingly, applied alternative estimated exchange rates, in compliance with the requirements of the amended standard.  As of the date of the initial application of the amendment referred above, the estimated exchange rate was 11.32 BOB per U.S. dollar. In turn, the official reference exchange rate was 6.91 BOB per US dollar as of January 1, 2025.

 

The adoption of the Amendments to IAS 21, 'The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates' as of January 1, 2025 resulted in a negative impact of $70 million on remeasurement of monetary and non-monetary items and a negative translation into presentation currency (USD) effect of $118 million, totaling $188 million negative effect included in a single line item, titled "Adjustment on adoption of Amendment to IAS 21", in the Group's consolidated statements of changes in equity for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. By the end of 1H 2026, the Bolivian Government initiated the transition from the fixed exchange rate regime to a flexible, market-driven exchange rate regime with the Central Bank of Bolivia introducing a new methodology to determine the Official Exchange Rate. The exchange rate resulting from the new regime was substantially consistent with the estimated exchange rate already applied by the Group as of.June 30, 2025. The Group will continue to monitor this new regime and the exchangeability of the BOB.

 

II.New and amended IFRS standards

 

The following new and amended IFRS Accounting Standards have been issued but are not yet effective. Their potential impact on the Group consolidated financial statements are currently being assessed by management:

 

IFRS 18, 'Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements': IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027. Its aim is to improve the usefulness of information presented and disclosed in financial statements, giving investors more transparent and comparable information about companies' financial performance.

 

9 

 

 

IFRS 20, ‘Regulatory Assets and Regulatory Liabilities’: IFRS 20 will replace IFRS 14 and is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2029. Its aim is to improve the relevance, transparency and comparability of information about the effects of rate regulation by requiring entities to recognize regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities arising from timing differences created by regulatory agreements.

 

3. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARIES, JOINT VENTURES, ASSOCIATES AND OTHER NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

 

Acquisitions or disposals for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026

 

Colombia Acquisitions - UNE EPM remaining shares acquisition, Acquisition of Colombia Telecomunicaciones S.A. E.S.P. (Coltel)

 

Pursuant to the announcement on July 31, 2024, Millicom and Telefonica, on March 12, 2025, entered into a definitive agreement for the acquisition by Millicom of Telefonica’s controlling 67.5% equity stake in Coltel, subject to closing conditions including regulatory approvals. Millicom has also agreed to offer to purchase the remaining 32.5% of Coltel equity owned by La Nación and other investors at the same purchase price per share offered to Telefonica. See the following paragraph for further details on the "UNE EPM acquisition..

 

On January 27, 2026, Millicom was awarded 100% of Empresas Publicas de Medellin E.S.P.'s ("EPM") remaining shares in UNE EPM Telecomunicaciones S.A. (“UNE” or “Tigo Colombia”) following a successful bid in the public auction conducted by EPM. Millicom offered COP 418,741 per share, representing a total consideration of approximately COP 2.1 trillion (approximately $571 million). The transaction closed on January 29, 2026. As Millicom already controlled Tigo UNE and its subsidiaries prior to the transaction, the acquisition of EPM’s non-controlling interest was accounted for as an equity transaction within the Millicom Group. Accordingly, the consideration paid was recognized as a reduction of consolidated equity, with no impact on profit or loss, as disclosed in the 'condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity', resulting in a decrease in equity of  $627 million.

 

On February 6, 2026, Millicom closed the acquisition of Telefónica’s controlling 67.5% equity stake in Colombia Telecomunicaciones S.A. E.S.P. (“Coltel”) through a tender offer that was conducted in accordance with publicly disclosed terms, at a price of approximately $214.4 million (out of which $169 million were paid as of acquisition date). Following the completion of the transaction, the initial accounting for the business combination remains in progress and, accordingly, does not include expected remeasurement of  intangible assets, such as spectrum, right of use assets / lease liabilities and PP&E which are part of the joint operations with Tigo Colombia (UT/UNIRED). The provisional fair values are subject to a high degree of measurement uncertainty and might change as Millicom continues to obtain information about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. The measurement period will not exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. Any adjustments to the provisional amounts will be recognized retrospectively as if the accounting for the acquisition had been completed at the acquisition date, with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment.

 

On April 27, 2026, Millicom completed the acquisition of the remaining 32.5% equity stake in Coltel formerly held by La Nación (following a share disposal sale carried out by the Government of Colombia). As Millicom already controlled Coltel and its subsidiaries prior to the transaction, the acquisition of Coltel’s non-controlling interest was accounted for as an equity transaction within the Millicom Group. Accordingly, the net consideration paid was recognized as a reduction of consolidated equity, with no impact on profit or loss, as disclosed in the 'condensed consolidated statements of changes in equity', resulting in a decrease in equity of  $219 million.

(C=B-A) Provisional goodwill arising on acquisition (*) 133

 

(*)  Millicom is still working on its purchase accounting, with an update to the provisional purchase price allocation reported as of March 31, 2026, showing an increase of customer relationships/spectrum of $36 million with a corresponding decrease in deferred tax assets of $13 million (hence with a net residual decrease of goodwill of $23 million).

 

The goodwill is attributable to the workforce and the future expected synergies and profitability of Coltel. It is currently not expected to be tax deductible. As from acquisition and for the period ended June 30, 2026, Coltel contributed $680 million of revenue and a net loss of $146 million to the Group. This net loss has been negatively impacted by approximately $65 million of recorded severance costs  as  Millicom carried out cost reduction projects, with a focus on efficiency after acquisition. If Coltel had been acquired on January 1, 2026, incremental revenue for the six-month period would have been $132 million and incremental net loss for the same period of $34 million. Acquisition related costs included in the statement of income under operating expenses were approximately $16 million.

 

Acquisition of Telefónica’s Operation in Chile Jointly with NJJ

 

On February 10, 2026, Millicom through a joint vehicle, Celtel Chile, S. L. (owned by Millicom Spain, S.L. at 49% and NJJ Cactus SAS at 51%), completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Telefónica Moviles Chile, S.A., pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) executed at the same date. The closing consideration was $50 million paid in cash. The SPA provided for contingent consideration in the form of two earn-outs, up to $490 million, determined by formulas and procedures set out in the SPA, without recourse to Millicom. As of 30 June, 2026, Celtel has an outstanding recognized liability measured at net present value of $106 million (with $130 million paid by Celtel as of 30 June 2026) funded by Celtel's external financial debt. In addition, under a Call Option Agreement signed at closing, Millicom has two 30-day windows following the fifth and sixth anniversaries of closing to acquire NJJ’s entire interest in Celtel Chile, S.L. at a price determined under the agreement’s valuation formulas; if Millicom does not exercise, NJJ obtains a subsequent 60-day option to acquire Millicom’s interest using the same pricing methodology. At inception, the call option was accounted for as a derivative instrument, and based on the valuation assumptions, its fair value was determined to be immaterial. The call option arrangements do not confer present joint control over Celtel Chile by Millicom.

 

Celtel and its subsidiaries meet the definition of an associate for Millicom. Millicom hence accounts them using the equity method. As of 30 June, 2026, Celtel has only recently commenced the purchase price allocation process and therefore remains at an early stage.  As a result, the provisional fair values are subject to a high degree of measurement uncertainty and might change as Celtel continues to obtain information about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. The measurement period will not exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. Any adjustments to the provisional amounts will be recognized retrospectively, as if the accounting for the acquisition had been completed at the acquisition date, with a consequent adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. See also Note 8.

3. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARIES, JOINT VENTURES, ASSOCIATES AND OTHER NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS (Continued)

 

Agreement to sell MFS business in Paraguay

 

On January 5, 2026, Tigo Paraguay signed a Share Purchase Agreement ("SPA") to sell its Mobile Finance business ("MFS") in Paraguay (Mobile Cash Paraguay S.A. and Transcom S.A.) for a base price of $10 million, net of cash and debt but including a working capital required to operate  (and a potential $7 million earn-out, contingent of SPA's conditions). In March, 2026, Tigo Paraguay has gathered the non-customary regulatory approvals and though the transaction is still subject to certain additional regulatory approvals. All assets and liabilities of our MFS business in Paraguay are classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2026 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', in accordance with IFRS 5. Comparative figures of the statement of income have been re-presented accordingly.

 

Acquisitions or disposals for the year ended December 31, 2025

 

Uruguay Acquisition ("Tigo Uruguay")

 

On October 7, 2025, Millicom completed the acquisition of 100% of Telefonica Moviles del Uruguay S.A. (Movistar) after final regulatory approval, for an enterprise value of $440 million. In April 2026, Telefonica Moviles del Uruguay S.A. changed its name to Telemovil Uruguay S.A. As of June 30, 2026, Millicom is still working on its purchase accounting, with an update to the provisional purchase price allocation reported as of December 31, 2025 showing an increase of customer relationships of $20 million with a corresponding increase in deferred tax liabilities of $5 million (hence with a net residual decrease of goodwill of $15 million)  Provisional goodwill as of acquisition date is $112 million. The fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities are subject to further work and analysis as the Group completes its valuation procedures. Any adjustments arising during the measurement period will be recognised retrospectively as at the acquisition date, with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. Finalization of the fair value exercise is expected to occur before Q3 2026.

 

Ecuador Acquisition ("Tigo Ecuador")

 

Millicom completed the acquisition of 100% of Telefónica’s telecommunications operations in Ecuador on October 30, 2025, after final regulatory approval, for an enterprise value of $380 million. As of June 30, 2026, Millicom is still working on its purchase accounting, with no further updates to the  provisional  purchase price allocation reported as of December 31, 2025.  The fair values of identifiable assets and liabilities are subject to further work and analysis as the Group completes its valuation procedures. Any adjustments arising during the measurement period will be recognised retrospectively as at the acquisition date, with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. Finalization of the fair value is expected to occur before October 29, 2026.

 

Lati Disposal - Lati Operations and other assets

 

On October 28, 2024, Millicom agreed to sell Lati International, S.A. and other assets encompassing a portfolio of more than 7,000 towers in Central America to SBA Communications Corp. We have also entered into other agreements including a 15-year leaseback for the sites, and a new build-to-suit agreement under which SBA will build up to 2,500 additional sites for Millicom in the same markets.  In addition to the transactions with SBA, Millicom sold Lati Paraguay to Atis Group on June 3, 2025.

 

As further explained in our audited consolidated financial statements  for the year ended December 31, 2025,  gain on sale for the year ended December 31, 2025 of $741 million has been recognized under "Sale of Lati Operations" in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2025, while the gain share on the sale of assets from Tigo Honduras  to Lati Honduras for approximately $50 million, has been recognized under "Share of Profit in Honduras joint venture" for the year ended December 31, 2025).

 

Following the closings with SBA, Tigo Guatemala signed a Master Lease Agreement amendment for the use of ground space on January 22, 2026. The amendment has a 15-year term and is for a total annual lease amount of approximately $13 million (resulting in the recognition of right-of use assets and lease liabilities for $118 million, together with new equipment dismantling provisions for $20 million). Concurrently, the termination of the prior lease agreements led to the derecognition of right-of-use assets by $68 million and lease liabilities by $74 million, with the net impact of $6 million recognized in other operating income (expenses), net line during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026. In addition, the derecognition of tower dismantling provisions resulted in a gain of approximately $33 million (recognized also in other operating income (expenses), net line during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026).

3. ACQUISITION AND DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARIES, JOINT VENTURES, ASSOCIATES AND OTHER NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS (Continued)

 

During the first quarter of 2025 and as part of the other assets portfolio sale described above, Tigo Nicaragua transferred most of the towers to SBA for a total gross consideration of approximately $49 million. The tower transfer qualified as a sale under IFRS 15. Under IFRS 16, Tigo Nicaragua recognized only the gain on the portion of rights transferred, for approximately $17 million, under ‘Other operating income (expenses), net for the six-month period ended  June 30, 2025’, since it continues to use a percentage of the towers economic benefit via the leaseback.

5. SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

As further detailed in note 1, Millicom operates in a single geographical region, Latin America, and more specifically in the following countries: Guatemala, Colombia, Panama, Honduras, Paraguay, El Salvador, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Uruguay, Ecuador and Chile.

 

As further explained in the 2025 Group's Consolidated Financial Statements, the 'Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") assesses performance and allocates resources, based on individual countries, which are also operating segments under IFRS 8. Following the recent acquisition of Coltel, the CODM assesses performance and allocate resources  in Colombia separately for Tigo Colombia and Coltel, which are therefore presented as separate operating segments. In addition, the Honduras joint venture  is reviewed by the CODM in a manner consistent with the Group’s controlled operations and accordingly presented as  a separate operating segment at 100%. In the case of the Chile associate, discrete financial information on its operating results is available and regularly reviewed by Millicom's CODM for performance assessment and resources allocation,  primarily for the purpose of assessing the ongoing investor–investee relationship due to its strategic significance. In accordance with IFRS 8 Operating Segments, this regular review by the CODM qualifies the Chile associate as an operating segment, and it is therefore presented as a separate operating segment at 100%. The amounts of the Honduras joint venture and the Chile associate are subsequently eliminated to reconcile to the Group consolidated results, as shown in the reconciliations below.

 

Management evaluates performance and makes decisions about allocating resources to the Group's operating segments based on financial measures, such as revenue, including service revenue, and Adjusted EBITDA. Capital expenditures are also a significant aspect for management and in the telecommunication industry as a whole. Management believes that service revenue and Adjusted EBITDA are essential financial indicators for the CODM and investors. These measures are particularly valuable for evaluating performance over time. Management utilizes service revenue and Adjusted EBITDA when making operational decisions, allocating resources, and conducting internal comparisons against historical performance and competitor benchmarks. Additionally, these metrics provide deeper insights into the Group's operating performance. Millicom's Nomination, Talent and Compensation Committee also employs service revenue and Adjusted EBITDA when assessing employees' performance and compensation, including that of the Group's executives. A reconciliation of service revenue to revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to profit before taxes is provided below.

 

Following the above-mentioned changes in scope which took place during 1Q of 2026, the Group considers the following individual countries as reportable segments, with Ecuador being reported on separately to provide additional information to users of the financial statements, even though it does not meet the quantitative thresholds for reportable segments under IFRS 8. (and Bolivia no longer considered as a reportable segment following the application of IAS21 Amendments). Comparative information has been re-presented accordingly.

 

Revenue, Service revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, capital expenditures and other segment information for the years ended June 30, 2026, and 2025 are shown on the below:

8. JOINT ARRANGEMENTS AND MAIN ASSOCIATES

 

Tigo Honduras

 

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. Our investments in joint ventures is comprised solely of Honduras.

 

At June 30, 2026, the equity accounted net assets of our joint venture in Honduras totaled $453 million (December 31, 2025: $426 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, $4 million (December 31, 2025: $3 million) represent statutory reserves that are unavailable to be distributed to the Group. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, Millicom's joint venture in Honduras repatriated cash of $57 million under different forms (June 30, 2025: $47 million).

 

At June 30, 2026, Millicom had $237 million payable to Honduras joint venture which were mainly comprised of advances and cash pool balances (December 31, 2025: $192 million). In addition, as of June 30, 2026, Millicom had a total receivable from Honduras joint venture of $17 million, (December 31, 2025: $19 million) mainly corresponding to other operating receivables.

 

The table below summarizes the movements for the period in respect of the Honduras joint venture's carrying value:

UNIRED and UT

 

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Those parties are called joint operators. Millicom and Telefonica had joint control of UNIRED and UT until the acquisition of Coltel (date as from which the Millicom Group began consolidating UNIRED and UT in full; see Note 3 for further reference).

 

During the first quarter of 2025, Tigo Colombia derecognised right-of-use assets and liabilities amounting to $71 million and $104 million, respectively, in connection with lease agreements previously classified as assets held for sale in fourth quarter of 2024. These lease agreements were transferred to UNIRED, the entity that had already assumed the role of lessee under the respective contracts. The net impact of the derecognition resulted in a gain of $33 million, which was recognized in the consolidated statement of profit or loss under ‘Other operating income (expenses), net' for the period ended June 30, 2025. Additionally, the Tigo Colombia terminated certain lease agreements with deferred gains of $15 million as of December 31, 2024. These gains were accelerated and recognized in full in Q1 2025 within the same line item.

 

Tigo Chile  

 

As previously explained in Note 3, NJJ and Millicom, through a joint vehicle, Celtel, completed on February 10, 2026, the acquisition of Telefónica Moviles Chile, S.A. ("Tigo Chile"). Millicom has significant influence over Tigo Chile holding 49% of shareholding. The Group accounts for associates in the same way as it accounts for joint ventures, that is, using the equity method. The table below summarizes the movements for the period in respect of the Chile associate's carrying value:

During period ended June 30, 2026, Tigo Chile carried out cost reduction projects with a focus on efficiency after acquisition with severance expenses related to this plan of approximately CLP83,000 million (approximately $91 million). Following IAS 28, the unrecognized losses of Tigo Chile as of June 30, 2026 at Millicom's share amount to $35 million as they exceed Millicom's interest in Tigo Chile.  In February 2026, Tigo Chile entered into a new $65 million Revolving Credit Facility ("RCF") expiring in August 2027, with margins varying based on credit ratings. As of 30 June 2026, the full balance of this RCF was available.  Additionally, in March 2026, Tigo Chile repaid CLP79,290 million of its local bond series Q (approximately $92 million), at maturity.

Derivative financial instruments

 

MIC SA entered into swap contracts in order to hedge the foreign currency risk in relation to the 2027 SEK 2.2 billion bond (approximately $252 million,  using the exchange rate at the time of the issuance of this bond) issued in January 2022 with maturity date January 2027. As of June 30, 2026 Coltel has swaps contracts to hedge the foreign currency risk in relation to a $500 million bond issued in 2020 and to a $70 million bank loan raised in 2024.

 

In January 2023, MIC S.A. also entered into two currency swap agreements to hedge an intercompany receivable of COP 206 billion (approximately $41 million) owed by Tigo-UNE. On January 5 ,2026, the mentioned swaps expired, in accordance with their maturity dates. During the period ended June 30, 2026, Tigo Colombia and Tigo Paraguay entered into short-term forwards in order to hedge foreign currency risk of USD denominated expected obligations. As of June 30, 2026,  Coltel has current and non-current non-delivery forwards in order to hedge foreign currency risk of USD denominated expected obligations.

 

The net fair value, including Coltel's acquisition, of the aforementioned swaps/forwards amounts to a liability of $194 million as of June 30, 2026 (December 31, 2025: a liability of $23 million).

 

Interest rate swaps, currency swaps and forwards are measured with reference to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

There are no other derivative financial instruments with a material fair value at June 30, 2026.

13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

Litigation & claims

 

The Group is 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, 2026, the total amount of claims brought against MIC SA and its subsidiaries is $296 million mainly as explained in the next paragraphs (December 31, 2025: $146 million). The Group's share of the comparable exposure for its joint venture in Honduras and Chile associate is $7 million (December 31, 2025: $3 million).

 

As at June 30, 2026, $47 million has been provisioned by the Group for these claims and risks in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position (December 31, 2025: $37 million). The Group's share of provisions made by the joint venture and the associate was $7 million (December 31, 2025: $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 results of operations.

 

During the period, certain former executives of the Group's Guatemala operations continued legal proceedings against Comunicaciones Celulares, S.A. and certain affiliated entities involving employment-related claims. Certain judgments and other court decisions have been issued in favor of claimants in an aggregate amount of approximately $100 million, while additional cases remain pending. The amounts sought by the claimants in these cases are substantially larger than the amounts recognized by the Group in respect of these matters. The Group disputes both liability and certain aspects of the methodology used in determining the amounts claimed and awarded, and continues to pursue available appellate, constitutional, and other legal remedies.

 

Management has evaluated these matters in accordance with IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and, based on the information currently available, management believes that a provision of approximately $4 million represents the best estimate under applicable Guatemalan law of the expenditure required to settle obligations that are considered probable as of June 30, 2026. Due to the inherent uncertainties associated with litigation, however, including ongoing appeals and judicial review processes, and concerns regarding transparency in the Guatemalan legal system, the ultimate outcome of these proceedings may differ from current estimates.

 

Taxation

 

At June 30, 2026, the tax risks exposure of the Group's subsidiaries is estimated at $380 million, for which provisions of $40 million have been recorded in tax liabilities; representing management's assessment of the probable cash outflow of eventual claims and required payments related to those risks (December 31, 2025: $376 million of which provisions of $32 million were recorded). The Group's share of comparable tax exposure in its joint venture and associates amounts to $193 million (December 31, 2025: $160 million) for which provisions of $9 million  (December 31, 2025: $8 million), were made.

 

Capital commitments

 

At June 30, 2026, the Group had fixed commitments to purchase network equipment, other fixed assets and intangible assets of $380 million of which $358 million are due within one year (December 31, 2025: $305 million of which $280 million are due within one year). The Group’s share of commitments in its Honduras joint venture and Chile associate is $36 million of which $36 million are due within one year (December 31, 2025: $31 million out of which $31 million are due within one year). Additionally, the Group's share of commitments in the UNIRED joint operation was  $16 million for December 31, 2025.

 

14. RESTRUCTURING COSTS

 

Voluntary retirement and severance plans

 

In April, 2026, Tigo Colombia conducted a voluntary retirement plan for its employees with severance expenses related to this plan of approximately COP95,000 million (approximately $26 million).

 

In March 2026, Coltel carried out cost reduction projects with a focus on efficiency after acquisition with severance expenses related to this plan of approximately COP240,000 million (approximately $65 million).

 

15. IMPAIRMENT IN COSTA RICA  

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Group recorded a goodwill impairment charge of approximately $32 million for its Costa Rica cash-generating unit (CGU) following an IAS 36 impairment test triggered by continued underperformance and a revised business outlook. The charge, recognized in Other operating income (expenses), net, was driven by lower projected future cash flows based on updated revenue growth, margin, and long-term market assumptions.

 

Following the impairment recognized during the period, the Costa Rica CGU continues to include goodwill of approximately $124 million, as of June 30, 2026 . Management will continue to monitor the CGU's performance and market conditions.

Millicom Chief Executive Officer Marcelo Benitez commented:

 

“Millicom is becoming a larger, stronger and more cash generative company. Our strategy is to strengthen our leadership positions in Latin America through disciplined organic growth and selective consolidation, while applying a consistent operating model focused on customer value, efficiency and equity free cash flow. Our second-quarter performance demonstrates that this strategy is working: we are growing the underlying business, integrating our expanded portfolio and strengthening our capacity to create sustainable value for our customers and shareholders.

 

We are also seeing encouraging results from the Millicom playbook in our acquired operations. Ecuador and Uruguay have delivered meaningful improvements in margins and equity free cash flow and are now performing broadly in line with the Millicom average. In Colombia and Chile, the integration and turnaround are progressing well, with early improvements in profitability and cash generation as we approach a more steady state of the operations.

 

We delivered strong second-quarter financial results. Service revenue reached $2.04 billion, while Adjusted EBITDA exceeded $1.01 billion for the first time in Millicom’s history. Equity free cash flow reached a quarterly record of $327 million.

 

Our first-half performance, together with the progress of our integrations and improved visibility across the portfolio, gives us increased confidence for the remainder of the year. As a result, we are raising our 2026 equity free cash flow guidance to around $1.1 billion, while lowering the year-end leverage target from approximately 2.5x to below 2.5x.

 

1 

 

 

Reflecting this stronger performance, Millicom's Board of Directors approved an incremental interim dividend of $1.50 per share, payable in two installments of $0.75 per share in January and April 2027. We remain focused on disciplined execution and believe there is significant additional value to unlock.”

 

2026 Financial Targets

 

Millicom is raising its full-year 2026 EFCF guidance from at least $900 million to around $1.1 billion, while lowering its year-end leverage target from around 2.5x to below 2.5x. These targets include restructuring costs associated with all acquired businesses.

 

Subsequent Events

 

Interim cash dividend

 

On August 5, 2026, Millicom's Board approved an interim dividend of $1.50 per share. The dividend will be distributed in two equal installments of $0.75 per share, on January 15, 2027 and April 15, 2027.

EPS ($ per share) 0.65 4.05 (84.0)% 1.30 5.17 (74.8)%

 

Revenue increased 59.4% year over year in Q2 2026, driven by the acquisition of Coltel in Colombia, expansion into Ecuador and Uruguay, favorable exchange movements as well as strong commercial performance across Mobile, Home, and B2B. Mobile benefited from our pre-to-postpaid migration strategy, while Home revenue benefited from FIFA World Cup-related content offerings and associated subscriber demand.

 

Equipment, programming and other direct costs increased 71.7% year-on-year, primarily driven by the Coltel acquisition and the addition of Ecuador and Uruguay. This trend was partially offset by a year-over-year decrease in equipment and programming costs.

 

Operating expenses increased 52.3% year-on-year, reflecting the integration of operations in Colombia including $32 million in related restructuring charges as well as the addition of Ecuador and Uruguay.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased 82.0% and 52.6%, respectively, reflecting mainly the Coltel acquisition in Colombia, the expansion of the consolidation perimeter in Ecuador and Uruguay, and the appreciation of local currencies.

 

Share of profit (loss) in Honduras joint venture and Chile associate was $10 million mainly reflecting our share of profits in the Honduras Joint Venture. Other operating expenses were $38 million for the quarter, primarily reflecting a $32 million non-cash goodwill impairment charge related to Costa Rica, a relatively immaterial operation within Millicom's portfolio, following updated business and market assumptions. As a result of the above effects, operating profit increased 30.4% year-on-year to $462 million.

 

3 

 

 

Net financial expenses increased $111 million year-over-year to $279 million, driven by higher interest and lease expenses, as a result of the perimeter expansion, the Lati infrastructure deal and higher debt levels related to recent acquisitions.

 

Sale of Lati operations of $604 million reflects the gross impact of the partial closing of the Lati infrastructure deal with SBA and Atis Group during Q2 2025.

 

Other non-operating income, net, totaled $23 million, primarily reflecting foreign exchange gains, partially offset by realized losses on maturing legacy instruments related to the Colombia acquisition.

 

Net tax expense increased year-over-year to $104 million, mostly driven by the expansion of the business perimeter offset by the LATI infrastructure transaction completed in the prior year.

 

Non-controlling interests' share of net loss totaled $8 million in Q2 2026, reflecting the portion of losses attributable to non-controlling shareholders in certain Colombian operations after EPM's acquisition and in Coltel prior to the acquisition of La Nación's stake. This compares to a $3 million loss in Q2 2025, reflecting EPM's share of losses in the Colombian operation.

 

As a result of the above operating performance, net profit attributable to owners of the company, was $109 million, or $0.65 per share, based on 167.71 million weighted average shares outstanding in Q2 2026.

Equity Free Cash Flow (EFCF) in Q2 2026 was $327 million, compared to $218 million in Q2 2025. The increase in EFCF over the past year is explained primarily by the following items:

 

Positives:

 

$369 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA, mainly supported by portfolio expansion and strong operational leverage associated with topline growth, alongside favorable foreign exchange impacts.

 

Detractors:

 

$79 million increase in lease payments due to the perimeter expansion and Lati infrastructure deal.

 

$72 million increase in capex paid mainly due to higher capex execution from Colombia's market consolidation and an increase in leased mobile handsets under our customer device leasing program.

 

$49 million year-on-year increase in financial expenses mainly attributable to perimeter expansion and the related financing costs.

 

$40 million increase in taxes paid largely resulting from the contribution of newly acquired businesses to the group's tax profile.

 

$36 million increase in spectrum payments mainly attributable to spectrum-related expenditures in Colombia from 700MHz and 1900MHz licenses as well as renewal fees.

 

$41 million impact related to one time restructuring charges incurred mainly in Colombia.

Debt

 

During Q2 2026, gross debt increased $117 million to $8.7 billion as of June 30, 2026, compared to $8.6 billion as of March 31, 2026. The increase was mainly attributable to new debt issuances in Coltel and at Corporate level as well as the foreign exchange impact of the appreciation of certain local currencies, particularly the COP, against the U.S. dollar. These factors were partially offset by debt reduction in Paraguay through the repayment of the Telecel Senior Notes originally due 2027.

 

As of June 30, 2026, 61% of gross debt was denominated in local currency1. Fixed-rate2 debt represented 56% of our total debt, compared with 70% at year-end 2025, primarily reflecting the addition of Coltel's variable-rate debt. The average debt maturity was 3.5 years. Approximately 70% of gross debt was held at our operating entities, while the remaining 30% was held at the corporate level. The average interest rate on our debt was 8.2%. On our dollar-denominated debt3, the average interest rate was 5.6% with an average maturity of 3.6 years.

 

Cash was $861 million as of June 30, 2026, a decrease of $316 million, compared with $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2026, with approximately 67% held in U.S. dollars. As a result, net debt* increased to $8.1 billion as of June 30, 2026, up $465 million quarter-on-quarter. The increase was mainly driven by $219 million of net acquisition-related payments, from the purchase of La Nacion’s equity stake in Coltel. In addition, net debt increased due to a $335 million dividend payment and foreign exchange rate impacts from the appreciation of local currency denominated debt. These increases were partially offset by the EFCF generation of $327 million during the quarter. As a result, leverage* decreased, ending the quarter at 2.73x, down from 2.76x as of March 31, 2026.

Operating performance

 

The information contained herein can also be accessed electronically in the Financial & Operational 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. Fixed and other 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

 

The macroeconomic environment in our markets was relatively favorable during Q2 2026, with the Colombian Peso, Paraguayan Guarani and Bolivian Boliviano appreciating year over year 16.3%, 28.8% and 58.1% respectively against the U.S. Dollar, impacting results during the period. During the quarter the Bolivian government transitioned from a fixed exchange rate peg to a flexible, market-driven regime, introducing elevated foreign exchange volatility and macroeconomic risk to our local operations. We continue to monitor these developments closely and assess their potential impact on our operations and financial position. Foreign exchange rates and movements are presented on page 16.

 

Key Performance Indicators

 

The mobile business ended Q2 2026 with 55.8 million customers, up 33.6% year-on-year representing an increase of 14.0 million customers. This growth was primarily driven by the inclusion of Coltel and our operations in Ecuador and Uruguay. Coltel alone contributed 8.5 million mobile customers, including 5.5 million postpaid subscribers. Postpaid net additions totaled 8.2 million customers during the year. Mobile ARPU increased 18.9% year-on-year. Excluding the impact of M&A, the postpaid customer base increased by 0.9 million customers, supported by our continued focus on executing our pre-to-postpaid migration strategy.

 

At the end of Q2 2026, Millicom's fixed networks passed 22.1 million homes, up 8.4 million year-over-year. HFC and FTTH customer relationships increased 1.6 million while HFC/FTTH revenue-generating units ("RGU") grew by 2.8 million. These trends were mainly driven by the consolidation of our newly acquired operations. Excluding M&A, HFC/ FTTH RGUs would have declined by 202,000 for the year due to a reduction in fixed telephony connections. This decline was partially offset by an increase of 91,000 broadband internet connections.

Financial indicators

 

In Q2 2026, revenue increased 59.4% year-on-year to $2.2 billion, while service revenue grew 60.1% to $2.0 billion. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange movements and the in-market consolidation in Colombia, organic service revenue grew 5.4% year-on-year, supported by healthy growth across Mobile, Home and B2B.

 

Adjusted EBITDA reached $1.0 billion, increasing 58.0% year-on-year driven by a $172 million contribution from the Coltel consolidation, strong operating leverage and favorable foreign exchange movements. Capex totaled $234 million in Q2 2026, up 51.2% year-over-year, primarily reflecting the in-market consolidation in Colombia. Excluding this impact, capex increased 28.3% year-over-year, mainly due to stronger execution in Guatemala and Colombia to support sales growth. As a result, Operating Cash Flow (OCF) increased 60.2% to $775 million in Q2 2026 compared to $484 million in Q2 2025.

Country performance

 

Commentary in this section refers to performance measured in local currency terms, unless specified otherwise.

 

Guatemala service revenue totaled $382 million increasing 5.9% year-on-year mainly driven by robust commercial execution focused on pre-to-postpaid migration as well as disciplined pricing and package management. Postpaid customers increased by 19% year-on-year while mobile ARPU grew mid-single digits over the same period. Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.3% year-on-year to $245 million while adjusted EBITDA margin reached 55.6% in line with our continued focus on operating leverage.

 

Colombia reported service revenue totaled $816 million, including a $377 million contribution from Coltel. Service revenue increased 11.0% driven by growth in pre and postpaid mobile revenue and Home service revenue, monetization across the subscriber base, as well as strong B2B performance related to a government cybersecurity contract. Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $336 million, including a $172 million contribution from Coltel, and reflecting $32 million of restructuring costs at Tigo Une. Adjusted EBITDA margin reached 39.4% compared with 39.5% in Q2 25.

 

Panama service revenue increased 3.1% year-on-year to $175 million, mainly due to robust year-on-year growth in postpaid subscriber base and growth in B2B. This trend was partially offset by ARPU pressure in home. Adjusted EBITDA increased 0.5% year-on-year to $92 million, while Adjusted EBITDA margin reached 50.7%.

 

Paraguay service revenue totaled $169 million, representing year-on-year growth of 3.4%, primarily due to robust pre-to-post migration as well as an expanding HFC & FTTH customer base. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter increased 16.9% year on year to $100 million, with the margin expanding to 56.9%. This improvement was driven by operational efficiency gains in the core business, favorable foreign exchange impacts and phasing benefits.

 

Ecuador generated $112 million of service revenue and an Adjusted EBITDA of $58 million, reaching an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 48.9% mainly reflecting a continued focus on operational efficiencies and cost-cutting initiatives.

 

Service revenue in our Other markets4 increased 37.4% in U.S. dollar terms year-on-year reaching $398 million, mainly due to the inclusion of Uruguay in this reporting segment. Adjusted EBITDA increased 39.0% in U.S. dollar terms driven by inorganic growth, expanding top-line and operating leverage.

 

Service revenue in our non-consolidated Honduras joint venture increased 7.6% to $152 million, mainly due to a combination of pricing and package management as well as pre-to-post migration, which led to a mid single digit year-over-year mobile ARPU increase. Adjusted EBITDA grew 9.7% to $82 million, resulting in an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 51.4% for the quarter.

 

In Chile, our non-consolidated associate reported service revenue of $310 million for the quarter and Adjusted EBITDA of $86 million or an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 23.2%, which is inclusive of $30 million in restructuring costs.

 

Corporate costs and others were $16 million in Q2 2026, down 34% year-on-year, driven mainly by lower M&A costs, and the contribution of the new operations to corporate costs.

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: service revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Capex and Equity Free Cash Flow, 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 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 provide them to investors as a supplement to Millicom’s reported results to provide additional insight into Millicom’s operating performance. Millicom’s Compensation and Talent 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.

 

Non-IFRS Financial Measure Descriptions

 

Service revenue is revenue related to the provision of ongoing services such as monthly subscription fees for mobile and broadband, airtime and data usage fees, interconnection fees, roaming fees, mobile finance service commissions and fees from other telecommunications services such as data services, short message services, installation fees and other value-added services excluding telephone and equipment sales.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is operating profit excluding impairment losses, depreciation and amortization, gains/losses on fixed asset disposals, and early termination of leases.

 

Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA in relation to revenue.

 

Organic growth represents year-on-year growth excluding the impact of changes in FX rates, perimeter, and accounting. Changes in perimeter are the result of acquisitions and divestitures. Results from divested assets are immediately removed from both periods, whereas the results from acquired assets are included in both periods at the beginning (January 1) of the first full calendar year of ownership.

 

Net debt is Debt and financial liabilities, including derivative instruments (assets and liabilities), less cash and pledged and time deposits.

 

Leverage is the ratio of net debt over LTM (last twelve months) Adjusted EBITDA subtracting depreciation of right-of-use assets and interest expense on leases, proforma for acquisitions made during the last twelve months.

 

Capex is balance sheet capital expenditure excluding spectrum and license costs and lease capitalizations.

 

Cash Capex represents the cash spent in relation to capital expenditure, excluding spectrum and licenses costs.

 

Operating Cash Flow (OCF) is Adjusted EBITDA less Capex.

 

Operating Free Cash Flow (OFCF) is Adjusted EBITDA, less cash capex, less spectrum paid, working capital, other non-cash items, and taxes paid.

 

Equity Free Cash Flow (EFCF) is OFCF less finance charges paid (net), lease interest payments, lease principal repayments, and advances for dividends to non-controlling interests, plus cash repatriation from joint ventures and associates.

 

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 as (x) the total home revenue (excluding equipment sales and TV advertising) 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.

Millicom (Tigo) raises 2026 Financial Guidance and declares $1.50 per share interim dividend

 

Luxembourg, August 06, 2026 – Millicom International Cellular S.A. (“Millicom” or the “Company”) today announced an increase to its 2026 Equity Free Cash Flow (“EFCF”) target, a reduction in its year-end leverage target, and the declaration of an interim dividend.

 

Based on its strong year-to-date performance and positive outlook for the remainder of the year, Millicom now expects 2026 EFCF of around $1.1 billion, compared with its previous target of at least $900 million. Further, Millicom lowered its year-end leverage target to below 2.5x, from its previous target of around 2.5x.

 

In light of this strong financial performance and enhanced cash flow outlook, the Board of Directors of Millicom (the “Board”) declared an interim dividend of $1.50 per share payable in two equal installments on January 15th, 2027 and April 15th, 2027.

 

Millicom Chief Executive Officer Marcelo Benitez commented: “Our strategy, centered on delivering the best customer experience, combined with disciplined execution and a relentless focus on efficiency, continues to deliver strong and sustainable results. This performance gives us the confidence to raise our 2026 EFCF target to around $1.1 billion, reduce our year-end leverage target to below 2.5x, and enhance shareholder returns through an interim dividend”.

 

“As we continue to strengthen our financial performance, we remain equally committed to expanding connectivity, advancing digital inclusion, and creating more opportunities for the communities we serve in Latin America”, he emphasized.

 

The payment schedule and other important information relating to the dividend are expected to be as follows:
