DENVER, Colorado--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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 (“Q3”) and nine months (“YTD”) ended September 30, 2020.

CEO Balan Nair commented, “Following a challenging second quarter, we delivered improved financial and operating performance in Q3, as the majority of our markets began to recover from the impacts of COVID-19.”

“We saw strong demand for our high-speed broadband-led propositions and achieved record quarterly fixed RGU additions in each of C&W and Puerto Rico, with over 100,000 new subscribers across both reporting segments. Our C&W markets also swung back to mobile subscriber growth following declines during Q2, and we will build on this momentum through the rest of the year. In Chile, we were impacted by severe lockdown restrictions and VTR experienced greater churn with net subscriber losses in the period although proactive operational actions led to improvements each month from July, which was our most challenging month.”

“Our financial performance also recovered in Q3 with sequential revenue growth of 5%. Growth was achieved across all reporting segments, including mobile and B2B products within C&W, and we anticipate our markets will continue to recover over time. In addition, the early actions we took to manage our cost base led to operating income growth and Adjusted OIBDA returning towards Q1 2020 pre-COVID levels.”

“We see a compelling opportunity to drive stakeholder value through our disciplined inorganic growth strategy and we are pleased that we completed the acquisition of AT&T's assets in Puerto Rico and the USVI. We believe that the combination of these assets with our high-performing Puerto Rico operations, will create a leading integrated communications player capable of providing enhanced value to customers, generating significant synergies, and bolstering LLA’s adjusted free cash flow.”

“During the quarter, as part of the funding for our agreed acquisition of Telefonica's Costa Rica assets, we also successfully completed our $350 million rights offering. Our balance sheet remains robust with extended maturities and significant available liquidity through cash and undrawn facilities.”

“As we approach the year-end, we are excited to begin the work of integrating our newly acquired assets in Puerto Rico and USVI, and we continue to focus on generating positive adjusted free cash flow in 2020 despite the impacts of COVID-19. Looking further ahead, we continue to invest in expanding our high-speed network footprint, building or upgrading over 230,000 homes year-to-date, and investing in innovative products and services to establish a foundation for further operational and financial growth in future years.”

Business Highlights

• C&W operational recovery from Q2 as COVID-19 restrictions eased; Adj. OIBDA margin higher:
  • Record additions of 66,000 RGUs and return to mobile net additions
  • Sequential revenue growth and Adjusted OIBDA margin up by 140 bps to 40.9%
  • New build / upgrade activity added over 45,000 homes, mainly in Panama and Jamaica

• VTR/Cabletica performance impacted by COVID-19 in Chile:
  • Network challenges and competition drove VTR RGU losses
  • COVID-19 impact and FX impacts on USD based costs
  • Added over 25,000 homes through new build activity

• Liberty Puerto Rico delivered another record quarter:
  • Highest ever quarterly RGU additions of 43,000 driven by broadband demand
  • Q3 revenue growth of 10% and Adjusted OIBDA up 14%
  • New build / upgrade activity added ~5,000 homes

N.M. – Not Meaningful.

• Our reported revenue for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased by 8%.
  • Reported revenue decline in Q3 was largely driven by (1) negative impacts from COVID-19, particularly in C&W, (2) a net negative foreign exchange (“FX”) impact of $32 million, primarily related to a 10% appreciation of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Chilean peso, and (3) a $15 million reduction from the disposal of C&W's Seychelles business in the fourth quarter of 2019. These declines were partially offset by organic growth in Liberty Puerto Rico.
  • Reported revenue decline YTD was primarily driven by (1) a net negative FX impact of $126 million, primarily related to a 17% appreciation of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Chilean peso, and (2) negative impacts from COVID-19, particularly in C&W. These declines were partially offset by organic growth in Liberty Puerto Rico.

Q3 2020 Revenue Growth – Segment Highlights

• C&W: Revenue declined on a reported and rebased basis by 10% and 6%, respectively. The higher reported decline was primarily driven by inclusion of our now divested C&W Seychelles business in the prior-year period and adverse currency movements.
  • B2B revenue declined 8% on a reported basis and 4% on a rebased basis, as compared to the prior-year period. The rebased decline was primarily due to lower revenues from fixed and mobile services mostly due to discounts and credits related to reduced or suspended service across our markets as a result of the COVID-19 lockdowns and a strategic decision to reduce low margin transit revenue.
    • On a sequential basis, we grew reported revenue by 6%. This was driven by the return of certain non-recurring projects that had been put on hold due to COVID-19, and a reduction in discounts and credits offered to customers as markets began to recover.
  • Fixed residential revenue was down 4% on a reported basis and 1% lower on a rebased basis, as compared to the prior-year period. Revenue declined overall on a rebased basis as subscription revenue growth, driven by organic RGU additions, were more than offset by a decline in non-subscription revenue due to lower interconnect volumes.
    • Fixed revenue was flat sequentially on a reported basis. Subscription revenue declined as ARPU was lower primarily due to temporary discounts in Panama related to COVID-19 and adverse currency movements in the Jamaican dollar. This was offset by growth in non-subscription revenue.
  • Mobile revenue declined 18% on a reported basis and 14% on a rebased basis, as compared to the prior-year period. Subscription revenue was impacted by reduced recharge activity and fewer subscribers during the COVID-19 related lockdown periods. Inbound roaming revenue declined by $6 million year-over-year, with the largest impact in the Bahamas due to a reduction in tourism as a result of COVID-19.
    • On a sequential basis, reported mobile revenue grew by 7% driven by higher ARPU as prepaid recharges increased with easing of lockdown restrictions.

• VTR/Cabletica: Revenue declined on a reported and rebased basis by 12% and 3%, respectively. The higher reported year-over-year decline was driven by a 10% appreciation of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Chilean peso. Rebased revenue at VTR declined due to lower ARPU associated with the cancellation of live soccer matches broadcast on our premium programming, which were only partly offset by higher broadband revenue. Cabletica grew revenue on both a reported and rebased basis driven by subscriber growth over the year.
• Liberty Puerto Rico: Reported and rebased revenue growth of 10% was driven by strong subscriber growth as we added approximately 100,000 RGUs over the last twelve months, including over 60,000 new broadband RGUs.

Operating Income (Loss)

• Operating income (loss) was $87 million and ($70 million) for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and ($12 million) and $187 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
  • We reported operating income during the three months ended September 30, 2020, compared with operating loss for the corresponding period during 2019 as the 2019 period was negatively impacted by goodwill impairments. This comparable benefit was slightly offset by a decline in Adjusted OIBDA, as further discussed below.
  • We reported operating loss during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared with operating income for the corresponding period during 2019, primarily due to (i) higher goodwill impairments recorded during the second quarter of 2020 in certain C&W markets, compared to the comparative period, and (ii) lower Adjusted OIBDA, as further discussed below.

Adjusted OIBDA Highlights

The following table presents (i) Adjusted OIBDA of each of our reportable segments and our corporate category for the comparative periods and (ii) the percentage change from period-to-period on both a reported and rebased basis:

Total	$	360.2				$	379.7				(5.1	)			(0.7	)			$	1,056.7				$	1,132.9				(6.7	)			(1.6	)
Operating income (loss) margin	9.8			%		(7.2		)	%										(0.4		)	%		6.5			%
Adjusted OIBDA margin	40.6			%		39.3			%										39.6			%		39.2			%

• Our reported Adjusted OIBDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased by 5% and 7%, respectively.
  • Reported Adjusted OIBDA decline in Q3 was primarily driven by a net negative FX impact of $12 million, mainly related to the Chilean peso, and a $5 million reduction, from the net impact of acquisitions and disposals. Organic declines were driven by lower revenue at C&W and VTR/Cabletica, partially offset by increases at LPR, each as discussed above, which were partially offset by lower costs including lower bonus-related expenses in the current year related to certain amounts that will be settled with shares.
  • Reported Adjusted OIBDA decline YTD was primarily driven by a net negative FX impact of $47 million, mainly related to the Chilean peso. Organic declines were driven by lower revenue at C&W and VTR/Cabletica, partially offset by increases at LPR, each as discussed above, which were partially offset by lower costs including lower bonus-related expenses in the current year related to certain amounts that will be settled with shares.

Q3 2020 Adjusted OIBDA Growth – Segment Highlights

• C&W: Adjusted OIBDA declined on a reported and rebased basis by 7% and 3%, respectively. Our rebased performance was driven by the aforementioned rebased revenue decline, partly offset by lower direct and operating costs. Adjusted OIBDA margin at 40.9% improved by 140 basis points sequentially.
  • Reduced direct costs were due to (i) lower handset sales, as many markets still faced lockdown restrictions during the quarter, (ii) reduced programming expenses driven by improved year-over-year contract rates for certain premium and basic channels, and lower sports content costs and (iii) lower costs associated with declines in transit revenue.
  • Other operating costs and expenses were lower year-over-year, primarily due to (i) reduced personnel costs due in part to benefits from ongoing restructuring activities, (ii) a decrease in marketing and sales costs and (iii) lower professional services costs.
• VTR/Cabletica: Adjusted OIBDA declined on a reported and rebased basis by 14% and 6%, respectively. The higher reported year-over-year decline was driven by a 10% appreciation of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Chilean peso. The Q3 rebased Adjusted OIBDA decline was driven by the aforementioned revenue impacts, higher other operating costs and expenses and declines in direct costs.
  • Direct costs were lower compared to the prior-year as equipment sales declined due to reduced store activity and interconnect costs. These declines were partly offset by higher programming costs due to the net effect of an increase from foreign currency impact of contracts denominated in U.S. dollars and a decrease due to renegotiation of a contract related to live soccer matches.
  • Other operating costs and expenses increased year-over-year, primarily due to higher costs in Chile following a spike in bandwidth demand resulting from mobility restrictions associated with COVID-19. Network-related costs, as compared to the prior-year period, increased as we expanded our field force to react more quickly to customer requests, and initiated a project to proactively visit customers and ensure their in-home WiFi service is optimally configured. These actions, together with capacity investments made since the initial peak in demand, have driven significant reductions in call center volumes related to technical topics (32% lower in Q3 2020 as compared to Q2 2020), however they remain higher year-over-year.
  • The segment's costs were impacted by a $5 million increase year-over-year due to the impact of U.S. dollar appreciation against the Chilean peso on VTR's non-functional U.S. dollar costs, primarily in programming.
• Liberty Puerto Rico: Reported and rebased double-digit Adjusted OIBDA growth of 14%, driven by the previously mentioned revenue growth, partly offset by additional programming costs and integration expenses incurred ahead of the acquisition of AT&T's Puerto Rico and USVI assets, which was completed on October 31, 2020.

Net Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Shareholders

• Net earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders was ($85 million) and $35 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and ($658 million) and ($122 million) for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

∗

The capital expenditures that we report in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows 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.

Q3 2020 Property and Equipment Additions and Capital Expenditures – Segment Highlights

• C&W: The year-over-year decrease, on a reported basis, was primarily driven by reduced Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) spend as COVID-19 restrictions impacted customer acquisition activity, particularly in Panama, as well as increased new build activity in the prior-year period following Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas.
• VTR/Cabletica: Property and equipment additions were flat year-over-year on a reported basis. Increased capacity spend in Chile was offset by lower customer premise equipment costs, and reduced new build material and labor costs as lockdown restrictions impacted our construction activity.
• Liberty Puerto Rico: The year-over-year increase is primarily driven by customer additions, which resulted in increased CPE and installation costs.

1.	RGU balances do not include 58,100 RGUs and 13,700 mobile subscribers that, due to the impact of COVID-19, have not been disconnected in accordance with our normal disconnect policy for non-payment and continue to receive services. Accordingly, organic changes set forth above reflect the impact of removing these RGUs from our subscriber count.
2.	RGU balances do not include 5,000 fixed RGUs representing customers that, due to the impact of COVID-19, have not been disconnected in accordance with our normal disconnect policy for non-payment and were moved to an "essential services plan", a basic service plan. Accordingly, organic changes set forth above reflect the impact of removing these RGUs from our subscriber count.
3.	VTR's non-organic adjustment relates to RGUs that were disconnected prior to July 1, 2020.

C&W

• Panama returned to subscriber growth primarily due to successfully moving fixed customers who faced economic difficulties related to COVID-19 onto discounted plans and as mobility restrictions in the country were eased. Panama's total RGU base is stated after the removal of 58,100 RGUs who continue to receive services and, due to COVID-19, have not been disconnected in accordance with our normal policy for non-payment.
• Jamaica continued to grow its fixed subscriber base, adding 19,100 RGUs in the quarter, driven by 9,900 broadband additions. This growth was supported by continued network investment as we added 19,400 new high-speed homes passed in the quarter.
• We returned to net mobile subscriber additions in Q3 driven by Panama, where we are seeing signs of recovery as the country begins to open up and ease the relatively strict mobility restrictions that were in place, and Jamaica following targeted acquisition campaigns and improved churn management.

VTR/Cabletica

• In VTR, our most competitive consumer fixed market, we lost 76,700 RGUs in the quarter as churn increased following network challenges related to an increase in bandwidth demand earlier in the year. We have carried out a number of operational actions to improve the experience for our customers and mobility restrictions in Chile have been eased more recently. As a result, we have seen improvements in sequential monthly losses.
• VTR lost 10,700 mobile subscribers in Q3 due to the impact of lockdown restrictions, in particular store closures leading to reduced retail activity.

Liberty Puerto Rico

• Reported another quarter of record RGU additions in Q3 driven by broadband additions as penetration increased across our high-speed network.

1.	The FX-neutral change represents the percentage change on a year-over-year basis adjusted for FX impacts and is calculated by adjusting the current-year figures to reflect translation at the foreign currency rates used to translate the prior year amounts.
2.	The amounts for the three months ended September 30, 2019 exclude the revenue, customers and mobile subscribers from our operations in the Seychelles. This allows for a more accurate comparison to Q3 2020, as these operations were sold during November 2019.
3.	During the third quarter of 2020, we began classifying revenue from inbound roaming from “mobile services revenue” to “mobile interconnect, inbound roaming, equipment sales and other” to better align with how management evaluates the business. Revenue from inbound roaming, which relates to the C&W segment, was $3 million and $10 million during the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Mobile ARPU amounts are calculated excluding “mobile interconnect, inbound roaming, equipment sales and other" and amounts for 2019 have been revised for the aforementioned change in presentation.
4.	The mobile ARPU amounts in Chilean pesos for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019 are CLP 12,148 and CLP 13,266, respectively.

Glossary

Adjusted OIBDA Margin – Calculated by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenue for the applicable period.

ARPU – Average revenue per unit refers to the average monthly subscription revenue (subscription revenue excludes interconnect, mobile handset sales and late fees) per average customer relationship or mobile subscriber, as applicable. ARPU per average customer relationship is calculated by dividing the average monthly subscription revenue from residential fixed and SOHO fixed services by the average of the opening and closing balances for customer relationships for the indicated period. ARPU per average mobile subscriber is calculated by dividing the average monthly mobile service revenue by the average of the opening and closing balances for mobile subscribers for the indicated period. Unless otherwise indicated, ARPU per customer relationship or mobile subscriber is not adjusted for currency impacts. ARPU per average RGU is calculated by dividing the average monthly subscription revenue from the applicable residential fixed service by the average of the opening and closing balances of the applicable RGUs for the indicated period. Unless otherwise noted, ARPU in this release is considered to be ARPU per average customer relationship or mobile subscriber, as applicable. Customer relationships, mobile subscribers and RGUs of entities acquired during the period are normalized.

Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (VTR) – Defined in accordance with VTR's indenture for its senior notes, taking into account the ratio of its outstanding indebtedness (including the impact of its cross-currency swaps) less its cash and cash equivalents to its annualized EBITDA from the most recent two consecutive fiscal quarters.

Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (LPR) – Defined in accordance with LPR's Group Credit Agreement, taking into account the ratio of its outstanding indebtedness (excluding any indebtedness collateralized by escrow cash) less its cash and cash equivalents (excluding any escrow cash) to its annualized EBITDA from the most recent two consecutive fiscal quarters.

Customer Relationships – The number of customers who receive at least one of our video, internet or telephony services that we count as RGUs, without regard to which or to how many services they subscribe. To the extent that RGU counts include equivalent billing unit ("EBU") adjustments, we reflect corresponding adjustments to our customer relationship counts. For further information regarding our EBU calculation, see Additional General Notes below. Customer relationships generally are counted on a unique premises basis. Accordingly, if an individual receives our services in two premises (e.g., a primary home and a vacation home), that individual generally will count as two customer relationships. We exclude mobile-only customers from customer relationships.

Fully-swapped Borrowing Cost – Represents the weighted average interest rate on our debt (excluding finance leases and including vendor financing obligations), including the effects of derivative instruments, original issue premiums or discounts, which includes a discount on the convertible notes issued by Liberty Latin America associated with a conversion option feature, and commitment fees, but excluding the impact of financing costs.

Homes Passed – Homes, residential multiple dwelling units or commercial units that can be connected to our networks without materially extending the distribution plant, except for DTH homes. Certain of our homes passed counts are based on census data that can change based on either revisions to the data or from new census results. We do not count homes passed for DTH.

Internet (Broadband) RGU – A home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives internet services over our network.

Leverage – Our gross and net leverage ratios, each a non-GAAP measure, are defined as total debt (total principal amount of debt and finance lease obligations outstanding, net of projected derivative principal-related cash payments (receipts)) and net debt to annualized Adjusted OIBDA of the latest two quarters. Net debt is defined as total debt (including the convertible notes) less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash held in escrow at Liberty Puerto Rico that will be used to fund the AT&T Acquisition. For purposes of these calculations, debt is measured using swapped foreign currency rates, consistent with the covenant calculation requirements of our subsidiary debt agreements.

Mobile Subscribers – Our mobile subscriber count represents the number of active subscriber identification module (“SIM”) cards in service rather than services provided. For example, if a mobile subscriber has both a data and voice plan on a smartphone this would equate to one mobile subscriber. Alternatively, a subscriber who has a voice and data plan for a mobile handset and a data plan for a laptop (via a dongle) would be counted as two mobile subscribers. Customers who do not pay a recurring monthly fee are excluded from our mobile telephony subscriber counts after periods of inactivity ranging from 30 to 60 days, based on industry standards within the respective country. In a number of countries, our mobile subscribers receive mobile services pursuant to prepaid contracts.

NPS – Net promoter score.

Property and Equipment Addition Categories

• Customer Premises Equipment: Includes capitalizable equipment and labor, materials and other costs directly associated with the installation of such CPE;
• New Build & Upgrade: Includes capitalizable costs of network equipment, materials, labor and other costs directly associated with entering a new service area and upgrading our existing network;
• Capacity: Includes capitalizable costs for network capacity required for growth and services expansions from both existing and new customers. This category covers Core and Access parts of the network and includes, for example, fiber node splits, upstream/downstream spectrum upgrades and optical equipment additions in our international backbone connections;
• Baseline: Includes capitalizable costs of equipment, materials, labor and other costs directly associated with maintaining and supporting the business. Relates to areas such as network improvement, property and facilities, technical sites, information technology systems and fleet; and
• Product & Enablers: Discretionary capitalizable costs that include investments (i) required to support, maintain, launch or innovate in new customer products, and (ii) in infrastructure, which drive operational efficiency over the long term.

Proportionate Net Leverage Ratio (C&W) – Calculated in accordance with C&W's Credit Agreement, taking into account the ratio of outstanding indebtedness (subject to certain exclusions) less cash and cash equivalents to EBITDA (subject to certain adjustments) for the last two quarters annualized, with both indebtedness and EBITDA reduced proportionately to remove any noncontrolling interests' share of the C&W group.

Revenue Generating Unit (RGU) – RGU is separately a video RGU, internet RGU or telephony RGU. A home, residential multiple dwelling unit, or commercial unit may contain one or more RGUs. For example, if a residential customer in Chile subscribed to our video service, fixed-line telephony service and broadband internet service, the customer would constitute three RGUs. RGUs are generally counted on a unique premises basis such that a given premises does not count as more than one RGU for any given service. On the other hand, if an individual receives one of our services in two premises (e.g., a primary home and a vacation home), that individual will count as two RGUs for that service. Each bundled video, internet or telephony service is counted as a separate RGU regardless of the nature of any bundling discount or promotion. Non-paying subscribers are counted as RGUs during their free promotional service period. Some of these subscribers may choose to disconnect after their free service period. Services offered without charge on a long-term basis (e.g., VIP subscribers or free service to employees) generally are not counted as RGUs. We do not include subscriptions to mobile services in our externally reported RGU counts. In this regard, our RGU counts exclude our separately reported postpaid and prepaid mobile subscribers.

SOHO – Small office/home office customers.

Telephony RGU – A home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives voice services over our network. Telephony RGUs exclude mobile subscribers.

Two-way Homes Passed – Homes passed by those sections of our networks that are technologically capable of providing two-way services, including video, internet and telephony services.

U.S. GAAP – Generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Video RGU – A home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives our video service over our network primarily via a digital video signal while subscribing to any recurring monthly service that requires the use of encryption-enabling technology. Video RGUs that are not counted on an EBU basis are generally counted on a unique premises basis. For example, a subscriber with one or more set-top boxes that receives our video service in one premises is generally counted as just one RGU.

Additional General Notes

Most of our operations provide telephony, broadband internet, data, video or other B2B services. Certain of our B2B service revenue is derived from SOHO customers that pay a premium price to receive enhanced service levels along with video, internet or telephony services that are the same or similar to the mass marketed products offered to our residential subscribers. All mass marketed products provided to SOHO customers, whether or not accompanied by enhanced service levels and/or premium prices, are included in the respective RGU and customer counts of our operations, with only those services provided at premium prices considered to be “SOHO RGUs” or “SOHO customers.” To the extent our existing customers upgrade from a residential product offering to a SOHO product offering, the number of SOHO RGUs and SOHO customers will increase, but there is no impact to our total RGU or customer counts. With the exception of our B2B SOHO customers, we generally do not count customers of B2B services as customers or RGUs for external reporting purposes.

Certain of our residential and commercial RGUs are counted on an EBU basis, including residential multiple dwelling units and commercial establishments, such as bars, hotels, and hospitals, in Chile and Puerto Rico. Our EBUs are generally calculated by dividing the bulk price charged to accounts in an area by the most prevalent price charged to non-bulk residential customers in that market for the comparable tier of service. As such, we may experience variances in our EBU counts solely as a result of changes in rates.

While we take appropriate steps to ensure that subscriber and homes passed statistics are presented on a consistent and accurate basis at any given balance sheet date, the variability from country to country in (i) the nature and pricing of products and services, (ii) the distribution platform, (iii) billing systems, (iv) bad debt collection experience and (v) other factors add complexity to the subscriber and homes passed counting process. We periodically review our subscriber and homes passed counting policies and underlying systems to improve the accuracy and consistency of the data reported on a prospective basis. Accordingly, we may from time to time make appropriate adjustments to our subscriber and homes passed statistics based on those reviews.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations

We include certain financial measures of Liberty Latin America and its reportable segments in this press release that are considered non-GAAP measures, including; (i) Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA Margin and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions; (ii) Adjusted Free Cash Flow; (iii) rebased revenue and rebased Adjusted OIBDA growth rates; and (iv) consolidated leverage ratios. The following sections set forth reconciliations of the nearest GAAP measure to our non-GAAP measures as well as information on how and why management of the Company believes such information is useful to an investor.

Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions

Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions, each a non-GAAP measure, are the primary measures used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment operating performance. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions are also key factors that are 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. As we use the term, Adjusted OIBDA is defined as operating income or loss before share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, provisions and provision releases related to significant litigation and impairment, restructuring and other operating items. Other operating items include (i) gains and losses on the disposition of long-lived assets, (ii) third-party costs directly associated with successful and unsuccessful acquisitions and dispositions, including legal, advisory and due diligence fees, as applicable, and (iii) other acquisition-related items, such as gains and losses on the settlement of contingent consideration. Our internal decision makers believe Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions are meaningful measures because they represent 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 and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions measures are useful to investors because they are 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 and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions should be viewed as measures of operating performance that are a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income or loss, net earnings or loss and other U.S. GAAP measures of income. A reconciliation of our operating income (loss) to total Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions are presented in the following table:

Adjusted Free Cash Flow Definition and Reconciliation

We define Adjusted Free Cash Flow (Adjusted FCF), a non-GAAP measure, as net cash provided by our operating activities, plus (i) cash payments for third-party costs directly associated with successful and unsuccessful acquisitions and dispositions, (ii) expenses financed by an intermediary, (iii) insurance recoveries related to damaged and destroyed property and equipment, and (iv) certain net interest payments (receipts) incurred or received, including associated derivative instrument payments and receipts, in advance of a significant acquisition, less (a) capital expenditures, (b) distributions to noncontrolling interest owners, (c) principal payments on amounts financed by vendors and intermediaries and (d) principal payments on finance leases. As a result of the then pending AT&T Acquisition, we changed the way we define Adjusted FCF effective December 31, 2019 to adjust (i) for pre-acquisition interest incurred on the incremental debt issued in advance of the AT&T Acquisition, (ii) to exclude pre-acquisition interest earned related to the AT&T Acquisition Restricted Cash that was used to fund a portion of the AT&T Acquisition and (iii) the impact of associated pre-acquisition derivative contracts. As the debt was incurred directly as a result of the then pending acquisition and will be supported by cash flows of the acquisition from the date of the closing, we believe this results in the most meaningful presentation of our Adjusted FCF. We believe that our presentation of Adjusted FCF provides useful information to our investors because this measure can be used to gauge our ability to service debt and fund new investment opportunities. Adjusted FCF should not be understood to represent our ability to fund discretionary amounts, as we have various mandatory and contractual obligations, including debt repayments, which are not deducted to arrive at this amount. Investors should view Adjusted FCF as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, U.S. GAAP measures of liquidity included in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The following table provides the reconciliation of our net cash provided by operating activities to Adjusted FCF for the indicated periods:

	Three months ended										Nine months ended
	September 30,										September 30,
	2020					2019					2020					2019

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	137.4				$	159.0				$	491.0				$	590.4
Cash payments for direct acquisition and disposition costs	17.5					0.7					21.7					1.3

1.

For purposes of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, expenses, including value-added taxes, financed by an intermediary are treated as hypothetical operating cash outflows and hypothetical financing cash inflows when the expenses are incurred. When we pay the financing intermediary, we record financing cash outflows in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. For purposes of our Adjusted FCF definition, we add back the hypothetical operating cash outflows when these financed expenses are incurred and deduct the financing cash outflows when we pay the financing intermediary.

2.

Amount primarily represents interest paid on pre-acquisition debt related to the AT&T Acquisition, net of interest received on the AT&T Acquisition Restricted Cash.

Rebase Information

Rebase growth rates are a non-GAAP measure. For purposes of calculating rebased growth rates on a comparable basis for all businesses that we owned during 2020, we have adjusted our historical revenue and Adjusted OIBDA (i) to include the pre-acquisition revenue and Adjusted OIBDA of a small B2B operation in the Cayman Islands that was acquired during 2020 in our rebased amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, (ii) to include the pre-acquisition revenue and Adjusted OIBDA of UTS that was acquired during 2019 in our rebased amounts for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, (iii) to exclude the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA of our Seychelles operations that was disposed of during 2019 from our rebased amounts for three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, (iv) to reflect the translation of our rebased amounts for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 at the applicable average foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate our results for three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, and (v) with respect to each of our reportable segments, to reflect (a) the April 1, 2019 transfer of a small B2B operation in Puerto Rico from our C&W segment to our Liberty Puerto Rico segment, and (b) the January 1, 2020 transfer of our captive insurance operation from our C&W segment to our corporate operations. We have reflected the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA of acquired entities in our 2019 rebased amounts based on what we believe to be the most reliable information that is currently available to us (generally pre-acquisition financial statements), as adjusted for the estimated effects of (a) any significant differences between U.S. GAAP and local generally accepted accounting principles, (b) any significant effects of acquisition accounting adjustments, (c) any significant differences between our accounting policies and those of the acquired entities and (d) other items we deem appropriate. We do not adjust pre-acquisition periods to eliminate nonrecurring items or to give retroactive effect to any changes in estimates that might be implemented during post-acquisition periods. As we did not own or operate the acquired entities during the pre-acquisition periods, no assurance can be given that we have identified all adjustments necessary to present their revenue and Adjusted OIBDA on a basis that is comparable to the corresponding post-acquisition amounts that are included in our historical results or that the pre-acquisition financial statements we have relied upon do not contain undetected errors. In addition, the rebased growth percentages are not necessarily indicative of the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA that would have occurred if these transactions had occurred on the dates assumed for purposes of calculating our rebased amounts or the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA that will occur in the future. The rebased growth percentages have been presented as a basis for assessing growth rates on a comparable basis and should be viewed as measures of operating performance that are a supplement to, and not a substitute for, U.S. GAAP reported growth rates.

The following tables provide the aforementioned adjustments made to the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA amounts for three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 to derive our rebased growth rates. Due to rounding, certain rebased growth rate percentages may not recalculate.

The following tables set forth the reconciliations from reported revenue to rebased revenue and related change calculations.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation for Consolidated Leverage Ratios

We have set forth below our consolidated leverage and net leverage ratios. Our consolidated leverage and net leverage ratios, each a non-GAAP measure, are defined as (i) adjusted total debt and finance lease obligations (total carrying value of debt and finance lease obligations plus discounts, premiums and deferred finance costs, less projected derivative principal-related cash receipts) less, for our net leverage ratio, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash held in escrow at Liberty Puerto Rico that was used to fund a portion of the AT&T Acquisition, divided by (ii) last two quarters annualized Adjusted OIBDA as of September 30 and June 30, 2020. For purposes of these calculations, adjusted total debt and finance lease obligations is measured using swapped foreign currency rates. We believe our consolidated leverage and net leverage ratios are useful because they allow our investors to consider the aggregate leverage on the business inclusive of any leverage at the Liberty Latin America level, not just at each of our operations. Investors should view consolidated leverage and net leverage as supplements to, and not substitutes for, ratios that would be calculated based upon measures presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Reconciliations of the numerator and denominator used to calculate the consolidated leverage and net leverage ratios as of September 30, 2020 and June 30, 2020 are set forth below:

Non-GAAP Reconciliations for Borrowing Groups

We provide certain financial measures in this press release of our borrowing groups. The financial statements of each of our borrowing groups are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We include certain financial measures for our borrowing group in this press release that are considered non-GAAP measures, including: (i) Adjusted OIBDA; (ii) Adjusted OIBDA Margin; and (iii) Proportionate Adjusted OIBDA.

Adjusted OIBDA by Borrowing Group

Adjusted OIBDA and proportionate Adjusted OIBDA at a borrowing group level are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted OIBDA is defined as operating income or loss before share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, related-party fees and allocations, provisions and provision releases related to significant litigation and impairment, restructuring and other operating items. Proportionate Adjusted OIBDA is defined as Adjusted OIBDA less the noncontrolling interests' share of Adjusted OIBDA. We believe these measures at the borrowing group level are useful to investors because they are 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. These measures should be viewed as measures of operating performance that are a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income or loss, net earnings or loss and other U.S. GAAP measures of income.
