Denver, Colorado - Aug 5, 2026: Liberty Latin America Ltd. (“Liberty Latin America” or “LLA”) (NASDAQ: LILA and LILAK, OTC Link: LILAB) today announced its financial and operating results for the three months (“Q2”) and six months (“YTD” or “H1”) ended June 30, 2026.
President and CEO Balan Nair commented, “The second quarter represented another strong quarter of postpaid mobile additions as well as highlighting better momentum in broadband. The broadband momentum includes our recovery in Jamaica and stronger net additions elsewhere in the group.”
“Adjusted OIBDA returned to YoY growth in the second quarter, while still being impacted by headwinds from Hurricane Melissa. Adjusted FCF showed a healthy advance of over $160 million YoY in the first half of 2026.”
“To further accelerate cost initiatives across the group, we are announcing a 10-year strategic agreement with Amdocs that brings greater scale, specialized expertise and expanded technology and AI capabilities to our IT operations. This further supports efforts to improve our cost base, drive Adjusted OIBDA margin expansion and improve capital efficiency. This transaction is expected to deliver in excess of $250 million in NPV to LLA.”
“As discussed at our first quarter earnings, we distributed $500 million of preferred stock in the second quarter and announce today our first quarterly dividend on September 15, 2026 to preferred shareholders. This provides for an attractive return on the preferred security while also indicating our confidence in future cash flow generation.”
“Reflecting this constructive outlook for the business and our conviction on value in the LLA equity, we accelerated share repurchases into the third quarter. Through 2026 to date the buyback is running at over $60 million and we will remain opportunistic on further purchases.”
