FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MILLICOM INTERNATIONAL CELLULAR S.A. ANNOUNCES RESULTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006

New York and Stockholm – October 25, 2006 – Millicom International Cellular S.A. (Nasdaq Stock Market: MICC and Stockholmsbörsen: MIC), the global telecommunications company, today announces results for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

Excludes discontinued operations.

Chief Executive Officer’s Review:

Marc Beuls, Chief Executive, comments: “Millicom has delivered another quarter of exceptional growth with revenues increasing by 54% and EBITDA by 58%, fuelled by the addition of almost 1.9 million new subscribers. Total subscribers at the end of the third quarter amounted to 12.8 million but today this figure is over 15 million including the subscribers we have in Colombia. Once again, the primary drivers of growth have been the 72% year on year increase in quarterly revenues in Central America, the 70% increase in South America and the 59% increase in Africa. Encouragingly, the Group EBITDA margin was 44%, an increase of a percentage point over last quarter, with the higher margins in Central and South America and South East Asia more than offsetting the slightly lower margin in Africa and the expected losses from South Asia.

“Capex for the third quarter was $188 million and will exceed $700 for the year, as we invest in our new operation in Colombia and build out the new networks in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Pakistan. With the frequency interference issues in Pakistan resolved and the network build out continuing, particularly in the Karachi region, the re-launch of our Pakistani business is planned for the first quarter of 2007. The launch of Tigo in the Democratic Republic of Congo will take place either later this year or early next year, depending on the environment after the elections, and will complete our planned Tigo roll-out in Africa. We are already seeing that the brand and the values it embodies are driving similar if not higher levels of growth than those we have enjoyed from Latin America and we look forward to demonstrating this to those attending our investor trip to Ghana in November.

“Millicom and the Rafsanjan Industrial Complex (RIC) have mutually agreed to terminate their management contract in Iran as the lack of progress made in resolving the interconnect issues prevented Millicom from building a business delivering returns on investments comparable to those in its other countries.

“We are very excited about the acquisition of a controlling stake in Colombia Movil, the country’s third operator. Millicom has taken management control of the company and has started preparing for the implemention of the Millicom triple “A” business model and the launch of Tigo in the first quarter of 2007.






This quarter we have taken the decision to show Vietnam as a discontinued operation given the delays occurring in the privatisation process there. A new government is in place in Vietnam and our communications with them have been positive, however, we have still not received clear guidance about the terms and conditions of operating in Vietnam in a privatised market. With Vietnam removed from our pro forma numbers and the impact of Honduras and Pakcom much less significant, we will no longer be reporting pro forma numbers.”

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

SUBSCRIBER GROWTH

In the third quarter of 2006 Millicom’s worldwide operations in Latin America, Africa and Asia added 1,892,525 net new total cellular subscribers.

At September 30, 2006, Millicom’s total cellular subscriber base increased by 62% to 12,795,802 cellular subscribers from 7,912,539 as at September 30, 2005. Particularly significant year on year percentage increases were recorded in Ghana (119%), Tanzania (117%), Guatemala (96%), Paraguay (86%) and Honduras (82%). Millicom’s attributable subscriber base increased to 10,999,379 as at September 30, 2006 from 6,855,957 as at September 30, 2005, an increase of 60%.

Prepaid subscribers accounted for 12,256,580 or 96% of the total cellular subscribers reported at the end of the third quarter.

FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006

Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2006 were $402.5 million, an increase of 54% from the third quarter of 2005. The Central American market continued to perform strongest, producing a 72% increase in revenues from $120.4 million for the third quarter of 2005 to $207.3 million for the third quarter of 2006, with Guatemala producing the strongest growth for the cluster at 92%. In South America, revenues increased by 70% to $62.3 million, with Paraguay and Bolivia producing increases of 86% and 44% respectively compared to the third quarter of 2005. From 2005, Millicom has been able to pursue higher value customers with value-added services following the roll-out of Tigo branded GSM services across Latin America and this has led to strong ARPU levels across the region.

Third quarter revenues for Africa were $80.3 million compared to $50.4 million in the third quarter of 2005, an increase of 59%, reflecting Millicom’s investment and increased capex in Africa to grow its networks. Excluding the Democratic Republic of Congo which was only acquired in the third quarter of 2005, the

3






strongest market was Ghana which grew by 122%. Revenues from Senegal and Tanzania are starting to see the benefits of the Tigo launches in those countries and Chad has continued to grow strongly quarter on quarter since the fourth quarter of 2005. The Democratic Republic of Congo is building up the network ahead of the launch of Tigo.

Revenues for South East Asia were $28.3 million, up 27% from the third quarter of 2005.

In South Asia, Millicom recorded revenues of $24.4 million, a slight increase from the second quarter of 2006 excluding the impact from the sale of Pakcom. The frequency interference issues and a scheduled reduction in the interconnect tariffs have impacted Paktel revenues in 2006 but the additional investment in the network is expected to enable Paktel to recover market share.

EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $178.7 million, a 58% increase from the third quarter of 2005. Central America recorded growth in EBITDA of 77% from the third quarter of 2005 to $110.9 million and the equivalent increase for South America was 102%, giving EBITDA of $28.4 million. EBITDA for Africa increased by 42% to $31.1 million.

EBITDA for South Asia was $(2.1) million, significantly impacted by the sales and marketing and network improvement costs associated with Paktel’s GSM services. For South East Asia, EBITDA for the third quarter of 2006 was up 24% at $10.5m.

The EBITDA margin in the third quarter of 2006 was 44%, despite the negative impact of South Asia. Central America and South America recorded EBITDA margins of 53% and 46% respectively in the third quarter of 2006. For Africa, the EBITDA margin was 39%, and for South East Asia it was 41%.

FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2006

Total revenues for the nine months to September 30, 2006 were $1,086.3 million, an increase of 52% from the same period of 2005. Revenues for Central America were $545.2 million, an increase of 76%, and for South America, revenues were $158.7 million, up 56%. Revenues for Africa were $219.7 million, increasing by 50%. In South East Asia revenues were $80.6 million, up 24% (excluding discontinued operations) and for South Asia, revenues were $82.1 million, down 11% year on year.

EBITDA was $478.6 million for the nine months to September 30, 2006, an increase of 56% over the same period in 2005. EBITDA for Central America for the nine months to September 30, 2006 increased by 79% from the same period in 2005 to $284.0 million and increased by 73% for South America to $69.2 million. Africa recorded a 34% increase to $89.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

EBITDA for South East Asia and South Asia was respectively $30.7 million and $5.0 million for the period.

The Group EBITDA margin for the nine months to September 30, 2006 was 44%, for Central America it was 52%, for South America 44%, for Africa 41%, for South East Asia 38% and for South Asia 6%.

Total cellular minutes increased by 59% for the nine months to September 30, 2006 compared with the same period in 2005.

COMMENTS ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

  • In the third quarter of 2006, the depreciation charge was impacted by a further acceleration of older network equipment. Most non GSM equipment will be fully depreciated by the end of the first half of 2007.

  • Opening retained earnings has been amended as a result of the finalization of the purchase price allocation of Millicom’s acquisition of its operation in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

4






  • Other debt and financing increased mainly as a result of the increased Capex during the quarter.

  • On August 7, 2006, Millicom settled the 5% Mandatorily Exchangeable Notes by the transfer of 26,905,200 Tele2 AB “B’ shares to the noteholders.
