(1) Basis of Presentation
See the Glossary of defined terms at the beginning of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for terms used throughout the condensed consolidated financial statements.
General
Liberty Latin America Ltd. is a registered company in Bermuda that primarily includes (i) C&W; (ii) Liberty Communications PR; and (iii) LBT CT Communications, S.A. (a less than wholly-owned entity) and its subsidiaries, which include Liberty Servicios and Liberty Telecomunicaciones. C&W owns less than 100% of certain of its consolidated subsidiaries, including C&W Bahamas, C&W Jamaica and CWP.
We are an international provider of fixed, mobile and subsea telecommunications services. We provide:
A.residential and B2B services in:
i.over 20 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean through two of our reportable segments, C&W Caribbean and C&W Panama;
ii.Puerto Rico and USVI, through our reportable segment Liberty Puerto Rico; and
iii.Costa Rica, through our reportable segment Liberty Costa Rica.
B.through our reportable segment Liberty Networks, (i) enterprise services in certain other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and (ii) wholesale services over our subsea and terrestrial fiber optic cable networks that connect approximately 40 markets in that region.
Unless otherwise indicated, ownership percentages are calculated as of June 30, 2024.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information required by U.S. GAAP or SEC rules and regulations for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2023 Form 10-K.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are used in accounting for, among other things, the valuation of acquisition-related assets and liabilities, expected credit losses, programming and copyright expenses, deferred income taxes and related valuation allowances, loss contingencies, fair value measurements, impairment assessments, capitalization of internal costs associated with construction and installation activities, useful lives of long-lived assets and actuarial liabilities associated with certain benefit plans. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

(2) Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2022-04
In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations (ASU 2022-04), which requires, among other things, a rollforward of the obligations for the period. The rollforward disclosure requirement is effective for the first annual report filed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. Additional disclosures surrounding our supplier finance programs are included in note 10.
ASU 2023-07
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (ASU 2023-07), which requires enhanced disclosures surrounding significant segment expenses. In each annual and interim period, entities are required to disclose (i) significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and are included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, (ii) an amount and description for other segment items by reportable segment, where the other items category represents the difference between segment revenue, significant segment expenses and the reported measure of segment profit or loss, (iii) all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280, and (iv) the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. In addition, ASU 2023-07 clarifies that a public entity may disclose more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss if the CODM uses more than one measure to assess segment performance and allocate resources. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2023-09
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which was issued to enhance transparency of income tax disclosures, primarily by requiring consistent categories and disaggregated information about an entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation and disaggregated jurisdictional information on income taxes paid. The standard also eliminates certain existing requirements related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024 with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact this standard will have on the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements.
(3) Fair Value Measurements
General
We use the fair value method to account for most of our derivative instruments. The reported fair values of our derivative instruments likely will not represent the value that will be paid or received upon the ultimate settlement or disposition of these assets and liabilities, as we expect that the values realized generally will be based on market conditions at the time of settlement.
U.S. GAAP provides for a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Derivatives
In order to manage our interest rate and foreign currency exchange risk, we have entered into various derivative instruments, as further described in note 6. The recurring fair value measurements of these derivative instruments are determined using discounted cash flow models. Most of the inputs to these discounted cash flow models consist of, or are derived from, observable Level 2 data for substantially the full term of these derivative instruments. This observable data mostly includes interest rate futures and swap rates, which are retrieved or derived from available market data. Although we may extrapolate or interpolate this data, we do not otherwise alter this data in performing our valuations. We incorporate a credit risk valuation adjustment in our fair value measurements to estimate the impact of both our own nonperformance risk and the nonperformance risk of our counterparties. Our and our counterparties’ credit spreads represent our most significant Level 3 inputs, and these inputs are used to derive the credit risk valuation adjustments with respect to these instruments. As we would not expect changes in our or our counterparties’ credit spreads to have a significant impact on the valuations of these instruments, we have determined that these valuations fall under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Our credit risk valuation adjustments with respect to our interest rate derivative contracts are further explained in note 6.
Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements
Fair value measurements may also be used for purposes of non-recurring valuations performed in connection with our acquisition accounting and impairment assessments. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we did not perform any such non-recurring valuations. During the second quarter of 2023, we finalized our acquisition accounting for the Claro Panama Acquisition, which did not result in any material changes to the associated opening balance sheet.
(4) Acquisitions
Pending Transactions
Puerto Rico and USVI Spectrum Acquisition. On November 6, 2023, we entered into an agreement with DISH Network to acquire DISH Network spectrum assets in Puerto Rico and USVI and prepaid mobile subscribers in those markets in exchange for cash and international roaming credits. The aggregate purchase price of $256 million will be paid in four annual installments commencing on the closing date, subject to post-closing adjustments. The waiting period applicable to the transaction under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act expired on July 1, 2024. On December 4, 2023, the Public Interest Statement and applications for approval were filed with the FCC and are currently under routine review. On February 23, 2024, the FCC issued a Public Notice that accepted the application and established a period for public comment. The comment period expired on March 11, 2024, without any comments or objections filed. The transaction remains subject to certain customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close during 2024.
Costa Rica Transaction. On August 1, 2024, we announced that we entered into an agreement with Millicom to combine our respective operations in Costa Rica. Under the terms of the all-stock agreement, Liberty Latin America and our minority partner in Costa Rica will hold an approximate 86% interest and Millicom will hold an approximate 14% interest in the joint operations, with final ownership percentages to be confirmed at closing. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory authorizations, and we expect the transaction to be completed during the second half of 2025.

Foreign currency translation adjustments | (0.6) | | | 1.3 | |
Balance at end of period | $ | 111.4 | | | $ | 100.8 | |
(6) Derivative Instruments
In general, we seek to enter into derivative instruments to protect against (i) increases in the interest rates on our variable-rate debt and (ii) foreign currency movements. With the exception of certain foreign currency forward contracts, we do not apply hedge accounting to our derivative instruments. Accordingly, changes in the fair values of most of our derivative instruments are recorded in realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The following table provides details of the fair values of our derivative instrument assets and liabilities:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(a)Our long-term derivative assets and long-term derivative liabilities are included in other assets, net and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
(b)We consider credit risk relating to our nonperformance and the nonperformance of our counterparties in the fair value assessment of our derivative instruments. In all cases, the adjustments take into account offsetting liability or asset positions within each of our primary borrowing groups (see note 10) and are recorded in realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For further information regarding our fair value measurements, see note 3.
The derivative assets set forth in the table above exclude our Weather Derivatives as they are not accounted for at fair value. The premium payments associated with our Weather Derivatives are included in other current assets, net, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Total | $ | 42.8 | | | $ | 40.3 | |
Counterparty Credit Risk
We are exposed to the risk that the counterparties to the derivative instruments of our borrowing groups will default on their obligations to us. We manage these credit risks through the evaluation and monitoring of the creditworthiness of, and concentration of risk with, the respective counterparties. In this regard, credit risk associated with our derivative instruments is spread across a relatively broad counterparty base of banks and financial institutions. Collateral has not been posted by either party under the derivative instruments of our borrowing groups. At June 30, 2024, our exposure to counterparty credit risk associated with our derivative instruments, as set forth in the assets and liabilities table above, included derivative assets with an aggregate fair value of $244 million.
Each of our borrowing groups has entered into derivative instruments under agreements with each counterparty that contain master netting arrangements that are applicable in the event of early termination by either party to such derivative instrument. The master netting arrangements under each of these master agreements are limited to the derivative instruments governed by the relevant master agreement within each individual borrowing group and are independent of similar arrangements of our other subsidiary borrowing groups.

Details of our Derivative Instruments
Interest Rate Derivative Contracts
Interest Rate Swaps
We enter into interest rate swaps to protect against increases in the interest rates on our variable-rate debt. Pursuant to these derivative instruments, we typically pay fixed interest rates and receive variable interest rates on specified notional amounts. The following table sets forth the total U.S. dollar equivalents of the notional amounts and the related weighted average remaining contractual lives of our interest rate swap contracts at June 30, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Borrowing group | | Notional amount due from counterparty | | Weighted average remaining life |
| | in millions | | in years |
| | | | |
C&W (a) | $ | 2,100.0 | | | 4.1 |
| | | | |
Liberty Puerto Rico | $ | 500.0 | | | 4.3 |
(a)Includes embedded floors of 0% on certain contracts.
Basis Swaps
Basis swaps involve the exchange of attributes used to calculate our floating interest rates, including (i) the benchmark rate, (ii) the underlying currency and/or (iii) the borrowing period. We typically enter into these swaps to optimize our interest rate profile based on our current evaluations of yield curves, our risk management policies and other factors. The following table sets forth the total U.S. dollar equivalents of the notional amounts and the related weighted average remaining contractual lives of our basis swap contracts at June 30, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Borrowing group | | Notional amount due from counterparty | | Weighted average remaining life |
| | in millions | | in years |
| | | | |
C&W | $ | 2,100.0 | | | 0.6 |
| | | | |
Liberty Puerto Rico | $ | 620.0 | | | 0.6 |
Interest Rate Floors
Interest rate floors provide protection against interest rates falling below a pre-set level. At June 30, 2024, our Liberty Puerto Rico borrowing group had an interest rate floor with a total notional amount of $620 million and a remaining contractual life of 4.3 years.
Interest Rate Caps
Interest rate caps provide protection against interest rates rising above a pre-set level. At June 30, 2024, our Liberty Puerto Rico borrowing group had interest rate caps with total notional amounts of $120 million and a remaining weighted average contractual life of 4.3 years.
Foreign Currency Forwards Contracts
We enter into foreign currency forward contracts with respect to non-functional currency exposure. At June 30, 2024, our Liberty Costa Rica borrowing group had foreign currency forward contracts with total notional amounts due from and to counterparties of $193 million and CRC 109 billion, respectively, with a weighted average remaining contractual life of 0.6 years.

During the first half of 2024, Liberty Puerto Rico experienced declines in revenue, primarily from mobile subscriber losses, increased bad debt and other adverse impacts largely associated with (i) the migration of customers acquired from AT&T to our mobile network and (ii) various network outages that have impacted these mobile customers. If we continue to experience adverse impacts related to the migration of customers to our mobile network, or if other adverse impacts stemming from competition, economic, regulatory or other factors were to cause our results of operations or cash flows to be worse than currently anticipated, we could conclude in future periods that an impairment charge in Liberty Puerto Rico would be required in order to reduce the carrying value of goodwill for this reporting unit. Any such impairment charge could be significant.
Our accumulated goodwill impairments were $2,784 million at each of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

(8) The Chile JV
On September 29, 2021, we entered into an agreement with América Móvil to contribute the Chile JV Entities to América Móvil’s Chilean operations to form the Chile JV. During October 2022, we completed the formation of the Chile JV, which is owned 50:50 by Liberty Latin America and América Móvil.
During December 2023, we entered into a transaction agreement with América Móvil within which we agreed with América Móvil to provide additional capital required by the Chile JV through June 30, 2024 in the form of convertible notes in an aggregate amount not to exceed CLP 972 billion ($1,031 million). Under the terms of the agreement, América Móvil or Liberty Latin America had the ability to exercise a catch-up right on or before August 1, 2024, to cure any failure by América Móvil or Liberty Latin America to fund its respective portion of such commitment in order to continue the Chile JV as a 50:50 joint venture. Effective June 23, 2024, we informed América Móvil that we will not exercise our catch-up right. As a result, if América Móvil converts its outstanding notes in the Chile JV into equity, our ownership percentage in the Chile JV will be diluted to less than 10%, subject to closing adjustments and regulatory approval. The conversion is expected to occur as early as the third quarter of 2024 and is not expected to have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

(a)Represents the weighted average interest rate in effect at June 30, 2024 for all borrowings outstanding pursuant to each debt instrument, including any applicable margin. The interest rates presented generally represent stated rates and do not include the impact of derivative instruments, deferred financing costs, original issue premiums or discounts and commitment fees, all of which affect our overall cost of borrowing.
(b)Unused borrowing capacity represents the maximum availability under the applicable facility at June 30, 2024 without regard to covenant compliance calculations or other conditions precedent to borrowing. At June 30, 2024, the full amount of unused borrowing capacity was available to be borrowed under each of the respective subsidiary facilities, both before and after completion of the June 30, 2024 compliance reporting requirements. At June 30, 2024, except as may be limited by tax and legal considerations, the presence of noncontrolling interests, foreign currency exchange restrictions with respect to certain C&W subsidiaries and other factors, there were no restrictions on the respective subsidiary’s ability to upstream cash from this availability to Liberty Latin America or its subsidiaries or other equity holders.
(c)The estimated fair values of our debt instruments are determined using the applicable bid prices (mostly Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy) or from quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets adjusted for the estimated credit spreads of the applicable entity, to the extent available, and other relevant factors (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). For additional information regarding fair value hierarchies, see note 3.
(d)The interest rate reflects the stated rate of the Convertible Notes. The effective interest rate of the Convertible Notes is 6.7%, which considers the impact of a discount recorded in connection with the value ascribed to the instrument's conversion option. At June 30, 2024, the carrying value of the Convertible Notes was $139 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2024, we repurchased and cancelled the remaining $140 million original principal amount of the Convertible Notes.
(e)Includes other facilities that are generally repaid in three annual installments.
(f)The C&W Credit Facilities unused borrowing capacity comprise certain U.S. dollar, Trinidad & Tobago dollar and JMD revolving credit facilities.
(g)During 2024, we entered into the Tower Transactions associated with certain of our mobile towers across various markets. The Tower Transactions did not meet the criteria to be accounted for as a sale and leaseback. The proceeds from the Tower Transactions are recorded as a financial liability and the associated tower assets remain on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

These obligations are generally due within one year and include VAT that were paid on our behalf by the vendor. Our operating expenses include $81 million and $94 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, that were financed by an intermediary and are reflected on the borrowing date as a cash outflow within net cash provided or used by operating activities and a cash inflow within net cash provided or used by financing activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Repayments of vendor financing obligations are included in payments of principal amounts of debt and finance lease obligations in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Subsequent Events
Subsequent to June 30, 2024, we (i) had net borrowings of $165 million, $25 million and $17 million on the C&W Revolving Credit Facility, LPR Revolving Credit Facility and LCR Revolving Credit Facility, respectively, and (ii) repurchased and cancelled the remaining $140 million original principal amount of the Convertible Notes.
(11) Unfulfilled Performance Obligations
We enter into certain long-term capacity contracts with customers where the customer either pays a fixed fee over time or prepays for the capacity upfront and pays a portion related to operating and maintenance of the network over time. We assess whether prepaid capacity contracts contain a significant financing component. If the financing component is significant, interest expense is accreted over the life of the contract using the effective interest method. The revenue associated with prepaid capacity contracts is deferred and generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract. As of June 30, 2024, we have approximately $260 million of unfulfilled performance obligations relating to our long-term capacity contracts, primarily subsea contracts, that generally will be recognized as revenue over an average remaining life of four years.
(12) Equity
Share Repurchase Program
On May 8, 2023, our Directors approved a Share Repurchase Program to repurchase $200 million of our Class A common shares and/or Class C common shares through December 2025. On May 7, 2024, our Directors approved the repurchase of an additional $200 million of our Class A common shares and/or Class C common shares under the Share Repurchase Program through December 2026 through open market purchases at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades, derivative transactions and/or through other legally permissible means.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we repurchased 4 million and 8 million Class A and Class C common shares, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 2 million and 8 million Class A and Class C common shares, respectively. At June 30, 2024, the remaining amount authorized for share repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program was $257 million.
Capped Call Option Contracts
During June 2024, we entered into capped call option contracts, pursuant to which we have purchased capped call options on 1.7 million and 4.3 million Liberty Latin America Class A and Class C common shares, respectively, with a low exercise price and a capped payout. These contracts will expire 12 to 18 months following the June 2024 trade date and can result in the receipt of cash or shares at our election. Shares acquired through the exercise of the call options will be included in our share repurchases. The capped call option contracts are not considered derivative instruments as the contracts are indexed to our Class A and Class C common shares and are therefore classified within shareholders’ equity. At June 30, 2024, the aggregate premium associated with these capped call option contracts of $15 million is included in additional paid-in capital in our condensed consolidated statement of equity.
Pension Buy-in
In May 2023, the CWSF completed an additional buy-in bulk annuity, resulting in 100% of the plan’s liabilities being covered by insurance annuity policies. The buy-in resulted in the remeasurement of $75 million from net pension assets to accumulated other comprehensive loss during the second quarter of 2023, which represents the loss associated with the difference between the projected benefit obligations and the cost of the bulk annuity policy.
(13) Programming and Other Direct Costs of Services
Programming and other direct costs of services include programming and copyright costs, interconnect and access costs, equipment costs, which primarily relate to costs of mobile handsets and other devices, B2B project-related costs and other direct costs related to our operations.

(15) Income Taxes
We evaluate and update our estimated annual effective income tax rate on a quarterly basis based on current and forecasted operating results and tax laws. For interim tax reporting, we estimate an annual effective tax rate that is applied to year-to-date ordinary income or loss. The tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur.
Our interim estimate of our annual effective tax rate and our interim tax provision are subject to volatility due to factors such as jurisdictions in which our deferred taxes and/or tax attributes are subject to a full valuation allowance, relative changes in unrecognized tax benefits and changes in tax laws. Based upon the mix and timing of our actual annual earnings or loss compared to annual projections, as well as changes in the factors noted above, our effective tax rate may vary quarterly and may make quarterly comparisons not meaningful.
Income tax benefit (expense) was $36 million and ($30 million) during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $31 million and ($42 million) during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This represents an effective income tax rate of (49.3%) and (64.8%) for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and (45.2%) and 395.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, including items treated discretely.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the income tax benefit attributable to our loss before income taxes differs from the amounts computed using the statutory tax rate, primarily due to the beneficial effects of net decreases in valuation allowances and permanent tax differences, such as non-taxable income. These beneficial impacts to our effective tax rate were partially offset by the detrimental effects of withholding taxes on cross-border payments, legislative increase to the statutory tax rate in Barbados, net return to provision adjustments, jurisdictional rate differences, permanent tax differences, such as non-deductible expenses, and changes in uncertain tax positions. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, our income tax benefit reflects our estimate of global minimum tax which has been reduced for changes in legislative landscape and updated current and forecasted operating results. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our income tax benefit reflects the net detrimental effects of the inclusion of global minimum tax.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the income tax expense attributable to our earnings (loss) before income taxes differs from the amounts computed using the statutory tax rate, primarily due to the detrimental effects of net increases in valuation allowances, negative effects of permanent tax differences, such as non-deductible expenses and inclusion of withholding taxes on cross-border payments. These negative impacts to our effective tax rate were partially offset by the

beneficial effects of international rate differences and permanent tax differences, such as non-taxable income. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, income tax expense reflects net increases in uncertain tax positions, while for the six months ended June 30, 2023, income tax expense reflects net releases in uncertain tax positions.
(16) Earnings or Loss Per Share
Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings or loss attributable to Liberty Latin America shareholders by the weighted average number of Liberty Latin America Shares outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect, if any, on a per share basis of dilutive securities as if they had been exercised, vested or converted at the beginning of the periods presented.

(a)During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we reported net losses attributable to Liberty Latin America shareholders. As a result, the potentially dilutive effect at June 30, 2024 and 2023 of the following items was not included in the computation of EPS for such periods because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to the computation or, in the case of certain PSUs and, for the 2023 period, PSARs, because such awards had not yet met the applicable performance criteria:

Aggregate number of shares potentially issuable under our Convertible Notes (if-converted method) | 6.8 | | | 14.7 | |
(b)With regards to the aggregate number of shares potentially issuable under our Convertible Notes, during the 2023 period, the Capped Calls provided an economic hedge to reduce or offset potential dilution to our Class C common shares upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments we would have been required to make in excess of the principal amount of such converted notes, as the case may have been, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. During the first quarter of 2024, we unwound the remaining balance of the Capped Calls. For further information, see note 10.
(c)We reported net earnings attributable to Liberty Latin America shareholders during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The following table sets forth items that have been excluded from our computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2023 because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to the computation, or, in the case of certain PSUs and PSARs, because such awards had not yet met the applicable performance criteria (in millions):

(17) Commitments and Contingencies
Guarantees and Other Credit Enhancements
In the ordinary course of business, we may provide (i) indemnifications to our lenders, our vendors and certain other parties and (ii) performance and/or financial guarantees to local municipalities, our customers and vendors. Historically, these arrangements have not resulted in our company making any material payments and we do not believe that they will result in material payments in the future.
Regulatory Issues
We have contingent liabilities related to matters arising in the ordinary course of business, including (i) legal proceedings, (ii) issues involving wage, property, withholding and other tax issues and (iii) disputes over interconnection, programming and copyright fees. While we generally expect that the amounts required to satisfy these contingencies will not materially differ from any estimated amounts we have accrued, no assurance can be given that the resolution of one or more of these contingencies will not result in a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position in any given period. Due, in general, to the complexity of the issues involved and, in certain cases, the lack of a clear basis for predicting outcomes, we cannot provide a meaningful range of potential losses or cash outflows that might result from any unfavorable outcomes.

(18) Segment Reporting
Our reportable segments derive their revenue primarily from residential and B2B services, including video, broadband internet, fixed-line telephony and mobile services. Our corporate category includes our corporate operations, which derive revenue from mobile handset insurance services. We generally identify our reportable segments as those operating segments that represent 10% or more of our revenue, Adjusted OIBDA or total assets.
As of June 30, 2024, unless otherwise specified below, our reportable segments are as follows:
•C&W Caribbean;
•C&W Panama;
•Liberty Networks;
•Liberty Puerto Rico; and
•Liberty Costa Rica.
Performance Measures of our Reportable Segments
We evaluate performance and make decisions about allocating resources to our reportable segments based on financial measures, such as revenue and Adjusted OIBDA. In addition, we review non-financial measures, such as subscriber growth. We account for intersegment sales as if they were to third parties, or at current market prices.
Adjusted OIBDA is the primary measure used by our CODM to evaluate segment operating performance. Adjusted OIBDA is also a key factor that is used by our internal decision makers to (i) determine how to allocate resources to segments and (ii) evaluate the effectiveness of our management for purposes of incentive compensation plans. 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. A reconciliation of total Adjusted OIBDA to operating income or loss and to earnings or loss before income taxes is presented below.
The amounts presented below represent 100% of the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA of each of our reportable segments and our corporate operations. As we have the ability to control certain subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned, we include 100% of the revenue and expenses of these entities in our condensed consolidated statements of operations despite the fact that third parties own significant interests in these entities. The noncontrolling owners’ interests in the operating results of (i) certain subsidiaries of (a) C&W and (b) Liberty Puerto Rico, and (ii) Liberty Costa Rica are reflected in net earnings or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement.
Overview
General
We are an international provider of fixed, mobile and subsea telecommunications services. We provide,
A.residential and B2B services in:
i.over 20 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean through two of our reportable segments, C&W Caribbean and C&W Panama;
ii.Puerto Rico and USVI, through our reportable segment Liberty Puerto Rico; and
iii.Costa Rica, through our reportable segment Liberty Costa Rica.
B.through our reportable segment Liberty Networks, (i) enterprise services in certain other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and (ii) wholesale services over our subsea and terrestrial fiber optic cable networks that connect approximately 40 markets in that region.
At June 30, 2024, we (i) owned and operated fixed networks that passed 4,678,900 homes and served 3,997,400 RGUs, comprising 1,832,100 broadband internet subscribers, 1,229,500 fixed-line telephony subscribers and 935,800 video subscribers and (ii) served 7,912,300 mobile subscribers.
Hurricane Beryl
In July 2024, Hurricane Beryl impacted our Jamaica operation and certain smaller operations within C&W Caribbean, resulting in varying degrees of damage to homes, businesses and infrastructures in these markets. In connection with Hurricane Beryl, we expect to experience adverse impacts to revenue and RGUs, Adjusted OIBDA, long-lived asset impairments and property and equipment additions for the remainder of 2024. We currently estimate that Hurricane Beryl will negatively impact revenue and Adjusted OIBDA by between $10 million and $20 million for the remainder of 2024, primarily during the third quarter, based on certain factors, such as when power is fully restored to the impacted areas. We estimate that we will incur property and equipment additions of approximately $10 million to $20 million to replace infrastructure and equipment that has been damaged beyond repair or to enhance network resiliency.
Hurricane Beryl triggered the Weather Derivatives and we expect to receive net third-party proceeds of approximately $44 million that will be reflected as a derivative gain in our consolidated statement of operations. We are still in the process of assessing the impact of Hurricane Beryl on our homes passed and subscriber counts.
Costa Rica Transaction
On August 1, 2024, we announced that we entered into an agreement with Millicom to combine our respective operations in Costa Rica. Under the terms of the all-stock agreement, Liberty Latin America and our minority partner in Costa Rica will hold an approximate 86% interest and Millicom will hold an approximate 14% interest in the joint operations, with final ownership percentages to be confirmed at closing. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory authorizations, and we expect the transaction to be completed during the second half of 2025.
Material Changes in Results of Operations
The comparability of our operating results during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 is affected by FX. As we use the term, “organic” changes exclude FX.
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates may have a significant impact on our operating results, as Liberty Costa Rica and certain entities within C&W have functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The impacts to the various components of our results of operations that are attributable to changes in FX are highlighted below. For information concerning our foreign currency risks and applicable foreign currency exchange rates, see Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Foreign Currency Rates below.
The amounts presented and discussed below represent 100% of the revenue and expenses of each segment and our corporate operations. As we have the ability to control certain subsidiaries that are not wholly-owned, we include 100% of the revenue and expenses of these entities in our condensed consolidated statements of operations despite the fact that third parties
own significant interests in these entities. The noncontrolling owners’ interests in the operating results of (i) certain subsidiaries of C&W and Liberty Puerto Rico, and (ii) Liberty Costa Rica are reflected in net earnings or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
We are subject to inflationary pressures with respect to certain costs and foreign currency exchange risk with respect to costs and expenses that are denominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of our reportable segments. Any cost increases that we are not able to pass on to our subscribers would result in increased pressure on our operating margins.

For further discussion and analysis of changes in Depreciation and amortization, and Impairment, Restructuring and other operating items, net, see Results of Operations (below Adjusted OIBDA) sections below.
Consolidated Adjusted OIBDA
On a consolidated basis, Adjusted OIBDA is a non-U.S. GAAP measure. Adjusted OIBDA is the primary measure used by our CODM 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 measures 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.
A reconciliation of total operating income, the nearest U.S. GAAP measure, to Adjusted OIBDA on a consolidated basis, is presented below.

Liberty Costa Rica | 36.3 | | | 37.1 | | | 37.3 | | | 36.0 | |
Adjusted OIBDA Margin is impacted by organic changes in revenue, programming and other direct costs of services and other operating costs and expenses. We incurred aggregate integration costs (i) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 of $3 million and $17 million, respectively, within our Liberty Puerto Rico segment, and (ii) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 of $5 million and $10 million, respectively, within our Liberty Puerto Rico, Liberty Costa Rica and C&W Panama segments.
Revenue
Most of our segments derive their revenue primarily from (i) residential fixed services, including video, broadband internet and fixed-line telephony, (ii) mobile services and (iii) B2B enterprise services. Liberty Networks also provides wholesale services over its subsea and terrestrial fiber optic cable networks.
While not specifically discussed in the below explanations of the changes in revenue, we experience significant competition in all of our markets. Competition has an adverse impact on our ability to increase or maintain our (i) RGUs, (ii) ARPU and/or (iii) B2B revenue.
Variances in the subscription revenue that we receive from our customers are a function of (i) changes in the number of RGUs or mobile subscribers during the period and (ii) changes in ARPU. Changes in ARPU can be attributable to (i) changes in prices, (ii) changes in bundling or promotional discounts, (iii) changes in the tier of services selected, (iv) variances in subscriber usage patterns and (v) the overall mix of fixed and mobile products during the period. In the following discussion, we discuss ARPU changes in terms of the net impact of the above factors on the ARPU that is derived from our video, broadband internet, fixed-line telephony and mobile products.

(a)The increases are primarily due to higher average broadband internet and video RGUs.
(b)The decreases are primarily due to lower ARPU from fixed-line telephony and video services, mainly driven by higher discounts.
(c)The changes are primarily due to the net effect of (i) lower average numbers of prepaid mobile subscribers, (ii) higher ARPU from prepaid mobile services. The decreases in prepaid mobile subscribers are driven by the net impact of churn related to the migration of customers to our network following the Claro Panama Acquisition, and the addition of customers to our base following the exit of a competitor from our market. During the three-month comparison, this decrease was more than offset by the increase in prepaid mobile ARPU, which was mainly attributable to higher recharges per customer.
(d)The increases are primarily due to revenue from government-related projects.

(a)The increases are primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) higher average broadband internet RGUs and (ii) lower average video RGUs.
(b)The decreases are primarily due to lower ARPU from fixed-line telephony and broadband internet services, mainly caused by retention-related discounts.
(c)The decreases are primarily due to declines in the average number of mobile subscribers, impacted by the migration of customers to our mobile network and network outages in 2024.
(d)The decreases are primarily driven by (i) lower equipment sales, due mostly to the migration of customers to our mobile network, and (ii) lower inbound roaming revenue.
(e)The decreases are primarily attributable to lower revenue from mobile services, mainly driven by the termination of a government-sponsored program during the second quarter of 2024.
(f)The decreases are driven by declines in the rate of funding, beginning in each of June 2023 and 2024, related to funds from the FCC that we use to expand and improve our fixed and mobile networks.

•Personnel and contract labor: The decreases are primarily due to the net effect of (i) higher capitalized labor, (ii) lower bonus-related expense, (iii) higher salaries and related personnel costs and (iv) lower headcount.
•Network-related: The organic increases are primarily due to the negative impact of an accrual release during the second quarter of 2023 related to leased line costs that resulted from the renegotiation of pole rental contracts.
•Service-related: The organic decreases are primarily due to declines in professional services associated with the renegotiation or termination of certain vendor contracts.
•Facility, provision, franchise and other: The organic increases are primarily due to (i) higher bad debt expense, (ii) the negative impact associated with a tax-related assessment received in one of our markets during the second quarter of 2024, and (iii) higher franchise fees.

Results of Operations (below Adjusted OIBDA)
Depreciation and amortization
Our depreciation and amortization expense increased (decreased) ($4 million) or (2%) and $9 million or 2% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023. The changes are primarily due to the net effect of (i) decreases associated with customer relationship assets becoming fully amortized in C&W Panama and (ii) increases in property and equipment additions, primarily associated with baseline-related additions, the installation of CPE and the expansion and upgrade of our networks and other capital initiatives.

Total | $ | 25.6 | | | $ | 40.8 | | | $ | 32.2 | | | $ | 70.5 | |
(a)The 2023 amounts primarily relate to the impairment of certain operating lease right-of-use assets, predominantly related to decommissioned tower leases at C&W Panama.
(b)The amounts include employee severance and termination costs related to reorganization activities, primarily at (i) Liberty Puerto Rico, C&W Caribbean and C&W Panama for the 2024 periods and (ii) C&W Caribbean, C&W Panama and Liberty Costa Rica for the 2023 periods.
(c)The 2024 amounts primarily include direct acquisition costs. The 2023 amount primarily relates to gains on asset dispositions.
Interest expense
Our interest expense increased $7 million and $16 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in 2023. The increases are primarily attributable to (i) increases in our average outstanding debt balances, mainly driven by debt associated with the Tower Transactions, and (ii) higher weighted-average interest rates.
For additional information regarding our outstanding indebtedness, including the Tower Transactions, see note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
It is possible that the interest rates on (i) any new borrowings could be higher than the current interest rates on our existing indebtedness and (ii) our variable-rate indebtedness could increase in future periods. As further discussed in note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we use derivative instruments to manage our interest rate risks.
Realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments, net
Our realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments primarily include (i) unrealized changes in the fair values of our derivative instruments that are non-cash in nature until such time as the derivative contracts are fully or partially settled and (ii) realized gains or losses upon the full or partial settlement of the derivative contracts.

Foreign currency transaction gains or losses, net
Our foreign currency transaction gains or losses primarily result from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the underlying functional currency of the applicable entity. Unrealized foreign currency transaction gains or losses are computed based on period-end exchange rates and are non-cash in nature until such time as the amounts are settled. The details of our foreign currency transaction gains (losses), net, are as follows:

Gains or losses on debt extinguishment, net
Our gains or losses on debt extinguishment generally include (i) premiums or discounts associated with redemptions and/or repurchases of debt, (ii) the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs, premiums and/or discounts and/or (iii) breakage fees.
We recognized gains (losses) on debt extinguishment, net, of nil and ($0.3 million) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and $0.4 million and ($4 million) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively. The net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2024 is associated with the partial repurchase of the Convertible Notes and the net loss during the six months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily associated with the January 2023 refinancing activity at Liberty Costa Rica.
For additional information concerning our debt repurchases and repayments, see note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Income tax benefit or expense
We recognized income tax benefit (expense) of $36 million and ($30 million) during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $31 million and ($42 million) during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the income tax benefit attributable to our loss before income taxes differs from the amounts computed using the statutory tax rate, primarily due to the beneficial effects of net decreases in valuation allowances and permanent tax differences, such as non-taxable income. These beneficial impacts to our effective tax rate were partially offset by the detrimental effects of withholding taxes on cross-border payments, legislative increase to the statutory tax rate in Barbados, net return to provision adjustments, jurisdictional rate differences, permanent tax differences, such as non-deductible expenses, and changes in uncertain tax positions. For the three months ended June 30, 2024, our income tax benefit reflects our estimate of global minimum tax which has been reduced for changes in legislative landscape and
updated current and forecasted operating results. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, our income tax benefit reflects the net detrimental effects of the inclusion of global minimum tax.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the income tax expense attributable to our earnings (loss) before income taxes differs from the amounts computed using the statutory tax rate, primarily due to the detrimental effects of net increases in valuation allowances, negative effects of permanent tax differences, such as non-deductible expenses and inclusion of withholding taxes on cross-border payments. These negative impacts to our effective tax rate were partially offset by the beneficial effects of international rate differences and permanent tax differences, such as non-taxable income. For the three months ended June 30, 2023, income tax expense reflects net increases in uncertain tax positions, while for the six months ended June 30, 2023, income tax expense reflects net releases in uncertain tax positions.
For additional information regarding our income taxes, see note 15 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In the absence of significant gains in the future from these sources or from other non-operating items, our ability to achieve earnings is largely dependent on our ability to increase our aggregate Adjusted OIBDA to a level that more than offsets the aggregate amount of our (i) share-based compensation and other Employee Incentive Plan-related expense, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) impairment, restructuring and other operating items, (iv) interest expense, (v) other non-operating expenses and (vi) income tax expenses.
Due largely to the fact that we seek to maintain our debt at levels that provide for attractive equity returns, as discussed under Material Changes in Financial Condition—Capitalization below, we expect that we will continue to report significant levels of interest expense for the foreseeable future.
Material Changes in Financial Condition
Sources and Uses of Cash
As of June 30, 2024, we have three primary “borrowing groups,” which include the respective restricted parent and subsidiary entities of C&W, Liberty Puerto Rico and Liberty Costa Rica. Our borrowing groups, which typically generate cash from operating activities, held a significant portion of our consolidated cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2024. Our ability to access the liquidity of these and other subsidiaries may be limited by tax and legal considerations, the presence of noncontrolling interests, foreign currency exchange restrictions with respect to certain C&W subsidiaries and other factors. For details of the restrictions on our subsidiaries to make payments to us through dividends, loans or other distributions see note 10 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2023 Form 10-K.
Cash and cash equivalents
The details of the U.S. dollar equivalent balances of our cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2024 are set forth in the following table (in millions):
| | | | | |
Cash and cash equivalents held by: | |
Liberty Latin America and unrestricted subsidiaries: | |
Liberty Latin America (a) | $ | 43.2 | |
Unrestricted subsidiaries (b) | 61.0 | |
Total Liberty Latin America and unrestricted subsidiaries | 104.2 | |
Borrowing groups (c): | |
C&W (d) | 465.7 | |
Liberty Puerto Rico | 18.8 | |
Liberty Costa Rica | 9.9 | |
Total borrowing groups | 494.4 | |
Total cash and cash equivalents | $ | 598.6 | |
(a)Represents the amount held by Liberty Latin America on a standalone basis.
(b)Represents the aggregate amount held by subsidiaries of Liberty Latin America that are outside of our borrowing groups. All of these companies rely on funds provided by our borrowing groups to satisfy their liquidity needs.
(c)Represents the aggregate amounts held by the parent entity of the applicable borrowing group and their restricted subsidiaries.
(d)Includes $90 million and $46 million of cash held by operations in C&W Panama and C&W Bahamas, respectively.
Liquidity and capital resources of Liberty Latin America and its unrestricted subsidiaries
Our current sources of corporate liquidity include (i) cash and cash equivalents held by Liberty Latin America and, subject to certain tax and legal considerations, Liberty Latin America’s unrestricted subsidiaries, and (ii) interest and dividend income received on our and, subject to certain tax and legal considerations, our unrestricted subsidiaries’ cash and cash equivalents and investments. From time to time, Liberty Latin America and its unrestricted subsidiaries may also receive (i) proceeds in the form of distributions or loan repayments from Liberty Latin America’s borrowing groups upon (a) the completion of recapitalizations, refinancings, asset sales or similar transactions by these entities or (b) the accumulation of excess cash from operations or other means, (ii) proceeds upon the disposition of investments and other assets of Liberty Latin America and its unrestricted subsidiaries and (iii) proceeds in connection with the incurrence of debt by Liberty Latin America or its unrestricted subsidiaries or the issuance of equity securities by Liberty Latin America. No assurance can be given that any external funding would be available to Liberty Latin America or its unrestricted subsidiaries on favorable terms, or at all. As noted above, various factors may limit our ability to access the cash of our borrowing groups.
Our corporate liquidity requirements include (i) corporate general and administrative expenses and (ii) other liquidity needs that may arise from time to time. In addition, Liberty Latin America and its unrestricted subsidiaries may require cash in connection with (i) the repayment of third-party and intercompany debt, (ii) the satisfaction of contingent liabilities, (iii) acquisitions and other investment opportunities, (iv) the repurchase of debt securities, (v) tax payments or (vi) any funding requirements of our consolidated subsidiaries.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the aggregate value of our share repurchases was $83 million. For additional information regarding our Share Repurchase Program, see note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements and Part II—Item 2 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds below.
Liquidity and capital resources of borrowing groups
The cash and cash equivalents of our borrowing groups are detailed in the table above. In addition to cash and cash equivalents, the primary sources of liquidity of our borrowing groups are cash provided by operations and borrowing availability under their respective debt instruments. For the details of the borrowing availability of our borrowing groups at June 30, 2024, see note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. The aforementioned sources of liquidity may be
supplemented in certain cases by contributions and/or loans from Liberty Latin America and its unrestricted subsidiaries. The liquidity of our borrowing groups generally is used to fund capital expenditures, debt service requirements and income tax payments. From time to time, our borrowing groups may also require liquidity in connection with (i) acquisitions and other investment opportunities, (ii) loans to Liberty Latin America, (iii) capital distributions to Liberty Latin America and other equity owners or (iv) the satisfaction of contingent liabilities. No assurance can be given that any external funding would be available to our borrowing groups on favorable terms, or at all.
For additional information regarding our cash flows, see the discussion under Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows below.
Capitalization
We seek to maintain our debt at levels that provide for attractive equity returns without assuming undue risk. When it is cost effective, we generally seek to match the denomination of the borrowings of our subsidiaries with the functional currency of the operations that support the respective borrowings. As further discussed under Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk and in note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we also use derivative instruments to mitigate foreign currency and interest rate risks associated with our debt instruments.
Our ability to service or refinance our debt and, where applicable, to maintain compliance with the leverage covenants in the credit agreements of our borrowing groups is dependent primarily on our ability to maintain covenant EBITDA of our operating subsidiaries, as specified by our subsidiaries’ debt agreements (Covenant EBITDA), and to achieve adequate returns on our property and equipment additions and acquisitions. In addition, our ability to obtain additional debt financing is limited by incurrence-based and/or maintenance-based leverage covenants contained in the various debt instruments of our borrowing groups. For example, if the Covenant EBITDA of one of our borrowing groups were to decline, our ability to support or obtain additional debt in that borrowing group could be limited. No assurance can be given that we would have sufficient sources of liquidity, or that any external funding would be available on favorable terms, or at all, to fund any such required repayment. At June 30, 2024, each of our borrowing groups was in compliance with its debt covenants. We do not anticipate any instances of non-compliance with respect to the debt covenants of our borrowing groups that would have a material adverse impact on our liquidity during the next 12 months.
At June 30, 2024, the outstanding principal amount of our debt, together with our finance lease obligations, aggregated $8,136 million, including (i) $500 million that is classified as current in our condensed consolidated balance sheet, of which $140 million was repaid subsequent to June 30, 2024, and (ii) $7,596 million that is not due until 2027 or thereafter. At June 30, 2024, $7,997 million of our debt and finance lease obligations have been borrowed or incurred by our subsidiaries. Included in the outstanding principal amount of our debt at June 30, 2024 is (i) $300 million of vendor financing obligations, which we use to finance certain of our operating expenses and property and equipment additions and are generally due within one year, other than for certain licensing arrangements that generally are due over the term of the related license, and (ii) $240 million of finance obligations related to the Tower Transactions. For additional information concerning our debt, including our debt maturities, see note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
The weighted average interest rate in effect at June 30, 2024 for all borrowings outstanding pursuant to each debt instrument, including any applicable margin, was 7.1%. The interest rate is based on stated rates and does not include the impact of derivative instruments, deferred financing costs, original issue premiums or discounts and commitment fees, all of which affect our overall cost of borrowing. The weighted average impact of the derivative instruments on our borrowing costs at June 30, 2024 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
Borrowing group | | Decrease to borrowing costs |
| | |
C&W | (1.7) | % |
Liberty Puerto Rico | (0.7) | % |
Liberty Costa Rica | — | % |
Liberty Latin America borrowing groups | (1.2) | % |
Including the effects of derivative instruments, original issue premiums or discounts, including the discount on the Convertible Notes associated with the instrument’s conversion option, and commitment fees, but excluding the impact of financing costs, the weighted average interest rate on our indebtedness was 6.0% at June 30, 2024.
We believe that we have sufficient resources to repay or refinance the current portion of our debt and finance lease obligations and to fund our foreseeable liquidity requirements during the next 12 months. However, as our debt maturities grow in later years, we anticipate that we will seek to refinance or otherwise extend our debt maturities. No assurance can be given that we will be able to complete refinancing transactions or otherwise extend our debt maturities. In this regard, it is difficult to predict how political, economic and social conditions, sovereign debt concerns or any adverse regulatory developments will impact the credit and equity markets we access and our future financial position. Our ability to access debt financing on favorable terms, or at all, could be adversely impacted by (i) the financial failure of any of our counterparties, which could (a) reduce amounts available under committed credit facilities and (b) adversely impact our ability to access cash deposited with any failed financial institution, and (ii) tightening of the credit markets. In addition, any weakness in the equity markets could make it less attractive to use our shares to satisfy contingent or other obligations, and sustained or increased competition, particularly in combination with adverse economic or regulatory developments, could have an unfavorable impact on our cash flows and liquidity.
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
General. Our cash flows are subject to variations due to FX.
Summary. Our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are summarized as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Six months ended June 30, | | |
| 2024 | | 2023 | | Change |
| in millions |
| | | | | |
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 180.2 | | | $ | 288.0 | | | $ | (107.8) | |
Net cash used by investing activities | (282.4) | | | (291.1) | | | 8.7 | |
Net cash used by financing activities | (280.5) | | | (132.7) | | | (147.8) | |
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | (2.6) | | | (4.2) | | | 1.6 | |
Net decrease in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | (385.3) | | | $ | (140.0) | | | $ | (245.3) | |
Operating Activities. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to the net effect of (i) a decline in Adjusted OIBDA, (ii) higher payments for interest, (iii) higher payments for taxes and (iv) an increase from other working capital-related items.
Investing Activities. The cash used by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 primarily relates to (i) capital expenditures, as further discussed below, and (ii) the purchase of additional investments.
The capital expenditures, net, that we report in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, which relates to cash paid for property and equipment, do not include amounts that are financed under capital-related vendor financing or finance lease arrangements. Instead, these amounts are reflected as non-cash additions to our property and equipment when the underlying assets are delivered and as repayments of debt when the principal is repaid. In this discussion, we refer to (i) our capital expenditures, net, as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, and (ii) our total property and equipment additions, which include our capital expenditures, net, on an accrual basis and amounts financed under capital-related vendor financing or finance lease arrangements.
A reconciliation of our property and equipment additions to our capital expenditures, net, as reported in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, is set forth below:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Six months ended June 30, |
| 2024 | | 2023 |
| in millions |
| | | |
Property and equipment additions | $ | 314.5 | | | $ | 337.1 | |
Assets acquired under capital-related vendor financing arrangements | (72.1) | | | (71.9) | |
Changes in current liabilities related to capital expenditures and other | 7.8 | | | 7.9 | |
Capital expenditures, net | $ | 250.2 | | | $ | 273.1 | |
The decrease in our property and equipment additions during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the corresponding period in 2023, is primarily due to a decrease related to baseline additions. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, our property and equipment additions represented 14.2% and 15.2% of revenue, respectively.
Financing Activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we used $281 million in cash for financing activities, primarily due to (i) $182 million in net debt repayments, (ii) $83 million of cash outflows associated with the repurchase of Liberty Latin America common shares and (iii) $11 million in payments related to distributions to a noncontrolling interest owner in C&W Bahamas. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we used $133 million of cash from financing activities, primarily due to (i) $80 million in cash outflows associated with the repurchase of Liberty Latin America common shares, (ii) $41 million in payments related to distributions to noncontrolling interest owners in C&W Panama and C&W Bahamas, and (iii) $15 million of payments for financing costs and debt premiums, primarily associated with refinancing activity at Liberty Costa Rica.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the ordinary course of business, we may provide (i) indemnifications to our lenders, our vendors and certain other parties and (ii) performance and/or financial guarantees to local municipalities, our customers and vendors. Historically, these arrangements have not resulted in our company making any material payments and we do not believe that they will result in material payments in the future.
Contractual Commitments
For information concerning our operating lease obligations and debt, see notes 9 and 10, respectively, to our condensed consolidated financial statements. In addition, we have commitments under (i) derivative instruments and (ii) defined benefit plans and similar agreements, pursuant to which we expect to make payments in future periods. For information regarding projected cash flows associated with our derivative instruments, see Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Projected Cash Flows Associated with Derivative Instruments below. For information regarding our derivative instruments, including the net cash paid or received in connection with these instruments during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, see note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The information in this section should be read in conjunction with the more complete discussion that appears under Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk in our 2023 Form 10-K.
We are exposed to market risk in the normal course of our business operations due to our investments in various countries and ongoing investing and financing activities. Market risk refers to the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and stock prices. The risk of loss can be assessed from the perspective of adverse changes in fair values, cash flows and future earnings. As further described below, we have established policies, procedures and processes governing our management of market risks and the use of derivative instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.
Cash and Investments
We invest our cash in highly liquid instruments that meet high credit quality standards. We are exposed to exchange rate risk to the extent that the denominations of our cash and cash equivalent balances, revolving lines of credit and other short-term sources of liquidity do not correspond to the denominations of Liberty Latin America’s short-term liquidity requirements. In order to mitigate this risk, we actively manage the denominations of our cash balances in consideration of Liberty Latin America’s forecasted liquidity requirements.
Foreign Currency Rates
The relationships between the (i) CRC and JMD and (ii) the U.S. dollar, which is our reporting currency, are shown below, per one U.S. dollar:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| June 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Spot rates: | | | |
CRC | 526.48 | | | 523.04 | |
JMD | 155.67 | | | 154.35 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended June 30, | | Six months ended June 30, |
| 2024 | | 2023 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
Average rates: | | | | | | | |
CRC | 513.92 | | | 540.45 | | | 514.00 | | | 551.61 | |
JMD | 155.23 | | | 152.87 | | | 154.88 | | | 152.93 | |
Interest Rate Risks
In general, we seek to enter into derivative instruments to protect against increases in the interest rates on our variable-rate debt. Accordingly, we have entered into various derivative transactions to reduce exposure to increases in interest rates. We use interest rate derivative contracts to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable interest rates calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. At June 30, 2024, we paid a fixed or capped rate of interest on 96% of our total debt, which includes the impact of our interest rate derivative contracts. The final maturity dates of our various portfolios of interest rate derivative instruments match the respective maturities of the underlying variable-rate debt. In this regard, we use judgment to determine the appropriate maturity dates of our portfolios of interest rate derivative instruments, taking into account the relative costs and benefits of different maturity profiles in light of current and expected future market conditions, liquidity issues and other factors. For additional information concerning the impacts of these interest rate derivative instruments, see note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Sensitivity Information
Information concerning the sensitivity of the fair value of certain of our more significant derivative instruments to changes in market conditions is set forth below. The potential changes in fair value set forth below do not include any amounts associated with the remeasurement of the derivative asset or liability into the applicable functional currency. For additional information, see notes 3 and 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
C&W Interest Rate Derivative Contracts
Holding all other factors constant, at June 30, 2024, an instantaneous increase (decrease) in the relevant base rate of 100 basis points (1.0%) would have increased (decreased) the aggregate fair value of the C&W interest rate derivative contracts by approximately $77 million ($78 million).
Liberty Puerto Rico Interest Rate Derivative Contracts
Holding all other factors constant, at June 30, 2024, an instantaneous increase (decrease) in the relevant base rate of 100 basis points (1.0%) would have increased (decreased) the aggregate fair value of the Liberty Puerto Rico interest rate derivative contracts by approximately $24 million ($23 million).
Projected Cash Flows Associated with Derivative Instruments
The following table provides information regarding the projected cash flows associated with our derivative instruments. The U.S. dollar equivalents presented below are based on interest rates and exchange rates that were in effect as of June 30, 2024. These amounts are presented for illustrative purposes only and will likely differ from the actual cash payments or receipts required in future periods. For additional information regarding our derivative instruments, including our counterparty credit risk, see note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Executives, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Executives recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and objectives.
As disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. The material weaknesses will not be considered remediated until the applicable new or enhanced controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are designed and operating effectively. Our management, with the participation of the Executives, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2024. As remediation is not completed, the Executives concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures continue to be ineffective as of June 30, 2024.
Management’s Remediation Plans
Management, with oversight from the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, is continuing to implement the remediation plans as disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K. We believe that these actions and the improvements we expect to achieve, when fully implemented, will strengthen our internal control over financial reporting and remediate the material weaknesses identified.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as listed below, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rules 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
During the quarter, we made the following changes in our internal control over financial reporting:
•designed and implemented additional manual procedures and controls to enhance our internal control process through a combination of preventative and detective controls,
•migrated acquired systems to our servers and databases for one of our segments, and
•held trainings to reinforce control concepts and responsibilities for control performers.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, our subsidiaries and affiliates have become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of their operations in the normal course of business. For additional information, see note 17 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 2.UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
(c) Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On May 8, 2023, our Directors approved $200 million for the repurchase of our Class A common shares and/or Class C common shares under the Share Repurchase Program through December 2025. On May 7, 2024, our Directors authorized us to repurchase from time to time up to an additional $200 million of our Class A common shares and/or Class C common shares under the Share Repurchase Program through December 2026 through open market purchases at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades, derivative transactions and/or through other legally permissible means. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate us to repurchase any of our Class A or C common shares. During June 2024, we entered into capped call option contracts, pursuant to which we have purchased capped call options on a number of Class A and Class C common shares, which can result in the receipt of cash or shares at our election. For information about our capped call option contracts, see note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
The following table sets forth information concerning our company’s purchase of its own equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2024 (in millions, except per share amounts). Due to rounding, the total number of shares purchased during the quarter may not recalculate.
