Millicom Chief Executive Officer Marcelo Benitez commented:
“We delivered another strong quarter, driven by solid execution and the commitment of our teams across Latin America. Our Double-E strategy is working: delivering a better customer Experience while operating more Efficiently, driving sustainable growth, stronger profitability, and cash flow generation.
Our Customers are at the center of our efforts, which is why we continue investing in our networks to improve coverage, capacity, and quality. At the same time, our prepaid-to-postpaid migration strategy is helping customers stay connected for more days each month, with larger allowances and greater predictability. Customers benefit from a better experience, while we build stronger relationships, improve loyalty, and grow ARPU.
We are also executing a clear more-for-more pricing strategy. When customers pay a little more, they get more in return: more data, better services, and greater value. This is how we believe sustainable growth should work. In Home, we are following the same principle, focusing on delivering greater value and a better experience rather than simply growing subscriber numbers.
This quarter was also marked by the earthquakes in Colombia and Panama. We are deeply saddened by the loss of an employee and a contractor in Colombia, and our thoughts are with their families and loved ones. I want to thank our teams in both countries for their resilience and commitment during these difficult moments.
Against this backdrop, our teams continued to execute effectively and delivered strong financial performance. Service revenue reached $2.14 billion, while adjusted EBITDA was $1.09 billion, reflecting operating leverage and cost discipline. Importantly, we continued to generate strong equity free cash flow of $316 million during the quarter, bringing year-to-date EFCF to $867 million keeping us firmly on track to achieve our full-year guidance of around $1.1 billion.
Our priorities remain unchanged: invest in our networks, deliver a superior customer experience, operate with maximum efficiency, and generate sustainable growth and strong cash flow. We know what works, we know how to execute, and we have a great team to keep moving forward.”
2026 Financial Targets
Millicom maintains its full-year 2026 EFCF of around $1.1 billion. Based on current operations, acquisitions completed to date, and expected cash flow generation, the Company remains on track toward its previously communicated year-end leverage target of below 2.5x.
