Completed 50:50 Chilean Joint Venture on October 6

Repurchased over $150 million of shares through to the end of Q3

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, 2022.

CEO Balan Nair commented, “In the third quarter, we continued to drive top-line growth, excluding our Chilean operation, which we combined with Claro Chile through a 50:50 JV in early October. While we experienced some negative impacts from Hurricane Fiona, specifically in Puerto Rico where we anticipate a negative cash flow impact of $20 million this year, we don't anticipate any material ongoing challenges and remain excited about fully integrating our fixed-line and resilient mobile operations in that market.”

“Our focus on broadband and mobile postpaid subscriber growth continued to drive our revenue performance. Broadband subscriber additions were led by double-digit percentage growth, sequential and year-over-year, in Puerto Rico. Mobile postpaid additions for the group were nearly double the prior year period as we continued to grow postpaid penetration across our markets.”

“Strategically, we continue to progress our integration activities across Puerto Rico, Panama, and Costa Rica and are set to deliver significant value for stakeholders as we combine operations and work towards realizing full run-rate synergies in excess of $150 million. In early October, we completed the previously announced JV with Claro in Chile and the new management team is now in place. While that team is early in their planning and integration processes, we expect them to drive significant synergies consistent with our plans and to drive operational growth.”

“Overall, we continued to make progress in the quarter and anticipate a seasonally strong end to the year. We are focused on driving operational performance across the group and integrating our acquisitions. Through these initiatives, we expect to deliver significant Adjusted FCF growth in the coming years.”

• Our reported revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 increased by 2% and 3%, respectively.
  • Reported revenue growth in Q3 was driven by (1) the addition of $72 million, primarily from the acquisitions of América Móvil's Panama operations on July 1, 2022 and Telefónica's Costa Rica operations on August 9, 2021, (2) organic growth in Liberty Costa Rica and C&W Caribbean, (3) organic declines at VTR and (4) a net foreign exchange (“FX”) impact of $(32) million. The FX impact was driven by an average year-over-year 20% depreciation of the Chilean peso in Q3.
  • Reported revenue growth YTD was driven by (1) the addition of $224 million, primarily from the acquisitions of Telefónica's Costa Rica operations and América Móvil's Panama operations, (2) organic growth in C&W Caribbean, Liberty Costa Rica, C&W Networks and C&W Panama, (3) organic declines at VTR and (4) a net FX impact of $(95) million. The FX impact was driven by an average year-over-year 17% depreciation of the Chilean peso YTD.

Q3 2022 Revenue Growth – Segment Highlights

• C&W Caribbean: revenue grew by 3% on both a reported and rebased basis.
  • Fixed residential revenue was 3% and 2% higher on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. Year-over-year rebased performance continued to be driven by growth in our internet subscriber base, which was 22,000 higher over the past twelve months driven by Jamaica.
  • Mobile revenue was up 6% and 5% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively, as compared to the prior-year period. Rebased growth was primarily driven by a higher average number of mobile subscribers, resulting from sales initiatives, including converged offerings. Inbound roaming also grew year-over-year, as a recovery in tourism led to increased traffic.
  • B2B revenue was 3% higher on a reported and rebased basis, as compared to the prior-year period. Performance was driven by internet services-related growth as well as mobile subscriber growth.
• C&W Panama: revenue grew by 29% and 2% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. Reported performance benefited from the inclusion of América Móvil's Panama operations in the quarter.
  • Fixed residential revenue was up 18% and 9% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. Rebased growth was driven by 63,000 subscriber additions over the past twelve months, resulting from investments in our networks, products and commercial activities.
  • Mobile revenue increased by 45% on a reported basis and declined by 2% on a rebased basis. Revenue decreased on a rebased basis as postpaid service revenue growth was more than offset by prepaid revenue decline year-over-year.
  • B2B revenue grew by 17% and 4% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. The year-over-year rebased growth was driven by the successful award of certain infrastructure projects, and growth in fixed and mobile recurring revenue.
• C&W Networks & LatAm: revenue decreased by 3% and 1% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. Performance on a rebased basis was driven by higher B2B service-related connectivity revenue and growth in managed services, offset by lower pricing and reduced lease capacity revenue.
• Liberty Puerto Rico: revenue grew by 3% and 2% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. Reported performance benefited from the inclusion of our fixed operations in the USVI in the quarter. On a rebased basis, residential fixed revenue was flat as subscriber growth was offset by the negative impact of customer credits following Hurricane Fiona during Q3 2022. Consumer mobile revenue declined as compared to the prior-year period, as higher roaming and equipment sales were more than offset by a reduction in the average number of mobile subscribers and lower ARPU.
• Liberty Costa Rica: revenue grew by 40% and 7% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. Reported performance benefited from the inclusion of Telefónica's Costa Rica operations in the quarter. Rebased growth was driven by strong subscriber additions across both our mobile and fixed businesses over the past twelve months as well as higher inbound roaming and handset sales.
• VTR: revenue was 33% and 19% lower on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. The year-over-year revenue decline was primarily driven by residential fixed revenue performance. Over the past twelve months, intense competitive pressures have led to a reduction in ARPU and subscriber numbers. In addition, strategic initiatives implemented during the first quarter of 2022 have led to lower ARPU levels across our internet subscriber base.

Operating Income (Loss)

• Operating income (loss) was $153 million and $136 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and ($15 million) and $485 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
  • The increase during the three-month comparison is due to lower expenses associated with depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and impairment, restructuring and other operating items, net, which were partially offset by a decline in Adjusted OIBDA. We experienced a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense as we ceased recording depreciation expense for the Chile JV Entities during the third quarter of 2021 when we began accounting for them as held for sale. The decline for the nine-month comparison is primarily due to goodwill impairments incurred during the second quarter of 2022, and a decline in Adjusted OIBDA, which were partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization expense.

Adjusted OIBDA margin excl. VTR2	35.1	%		37.7	%								37.4	%		39.3	%

• Our reported Adjusted OIBDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was 6% and 3% lower, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior-year periods.
  • Reported Adjusted OIBDA performance in Q3 and YTD resulted from the net impact of organic declines in VTR and Puerto Rico, and FX headwinds in Chile, which were partly offset by $18 million and $61 million, respectively, contributed by acquisitions and organic growth at C&W Caribbean. Our Q3 reported results were also impacted negatively by $12 million related to Hurricane Fiona and $5 million of incremental integration costs.

Q3 2022 Adjusted OIBDA Growth – Segment Highlights

• C&W Caribbean: Adjusted OIBDA increased by 11% on both a reported and rebased basis. Performance was driven by the aforementioned rebased revenue growth and our focus on cost control. Our Adjusted OIBDA margin improved by ~250 basis points year-over-year to 37%.

• C&W Panama: Adjusted OIBDA decreased on a reported and rebased basis by 3% and 5%, respectively. The rebased decline was driven by higher equipment costs related to additional B2B projects, higher bad debt provisions as challenging economic conditions impacted customers in lower socio-economic groups and integration costs.

• C&W Networks & LatAm: Adjusted OIBDA decreased on a reported and rebased basis by 5% and 4%, respectively. Our rebased performance was driven by higher direct costs associated with equipment sales across B2B services.

• Liberty Puerto Rico: Adjusted OIBDA declined by 6% on a reported and rebased basis. The decline in the quarter was driven by (i) $12 million in revenue credits and costs associated with Hurricane Fiona (aforementioned revenue credits and increased network-related expenses), (ii) increased equipment costs due to a higher volume of handset sales, (iii) additional TSA-related charges, (iv) higher personnel costs as we establish an operating structure in advance of fully transitioning services from AT&T, and (v) increased integration costs as compared to the prior-year period. We anticipate a further ~$5 million of Hurricane Fiona related negative impacts to Adjusted OIBDA in Q4 2022.

• Liberty Costa Rica: Adjusted OIBDA grew by 37% on a reported basis and declined by 1% on a rebased basis. Reported growth benefited from the inclusion of Telefónica's Costa Rica operations in the quarter. Rebased performance was driven by the aforementioned rebased revenue growth, offset by $2 million of additional integration costs and higher other operating costs including a $2 million non-functional currency impact.

• VTR: Adjusted OIBDA was lower on a reported and rebased basis by 52% and 42%, respectively. The rebased decline was driven by the aforementioned decrease in revenue.

Net Earnings (Loss) Attributable to Shareholders

• Net earnings (loss) attributable to shareholders was $84 million and $76 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and ($310 million) and $174 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

1.	Included in Liberty Puerto Rico's mobile prepaid organic gain is an increase of 1,500 mobile reseller subscribers.
2.	During the second quarter of 2022, we began to shut down our 2G network in Jamaica. This non-organic adjustment represents the associated decline in mobile subscribers during the third quarter of 2022. We expect further non-organic adjustments related to the shutdown, until its completion in late 2023.
3.	The homes passed non-organic adjustment for C&W Caribbean - Other relates to the net effect of (i) the identification of overbuild of copper homes in certain markets, and (ii) the identification of additional homes passed during the process of upgrading certain parts of the network.
4.	The customer and RGU adjustments for C&W Caribbean - Other relate to the reconciliation of operating data following a system migration.
5.	C&W Panama's non-organic adjustment relates to the Claro Panama Acquisition that closed on July 1, 2022.
6.	During the third quarter of 2022, and following the shutdown of our 3G network, we completed a reconciliation of reseller subscribers, which resulted in a non-organic increase to prepaid mobile subscribers at Liberty Puerto Rico.

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

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.

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. 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.

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 and cash equivalents. 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 90 days, based on industry standards within the respective country. In a number of countries, our mobile subscribers receive mobile services pursuant to prepaid contracts. Our Liberty Puerto Rico segment prepaid subscriber count includes mobile reseller subscribers, which represent organizations that purchase minutes and data at wholesale prices and subsequently resell it under the purchaser's brand name. These reseller subscribers result in a significantly lower ARPU than the remaining subscribers included in our prepaid balance. Additionally, our Liberty Puerto Rico segment postpaid subscriber count includes Corporate Responsible Users (CRUs), which represent an individual receiving mobile services through an organization that has entered into a contract for mobile services with us and where the organization is responsible for the payment of the CRU’s mobile services.

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, mobile 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 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 determine how to allocate resources to segments. 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 or 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 or 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. 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 period:

	Three months ended								Nine months ended
	September 30,								September 30,
		2022				2021				2022				2021

1.

For purposes of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, expenses, including value-added taxes, financed by an intermediary are treated as operating cash outflows and 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 operating cash outflows when these financed expenses are incurred and deduct the financing cash outflows when we pay the financing intermediary.

2.

The amounts for the 2022 periods reflect the portion of interest paid that relates to the pre-acquisition debt for the Claro Panama Acquisition. The amounts for the 2021 periods relate to (i) the Liberty Servicios Term Loan B-1 Facility and Liberty Servicios Term Loan B-2 Facility that were entered into in advance of the Telefónica Costa Rica Acquisition, and (ii) the portion of interest paid in April 2021 that relates to pre-acquisition debt for the AT&T Acquisition.

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 the current year, we have adjusted our historical revenue and Adjusted OIBDA to include or exclude the pre-acquisition amounts of acquired or disposed business, as applicable, to the same extent they are included or excluded from the current year. The businesses that were acquired impacting the comparative periods are as follows:

i. Telefónica Costa Rica, which was acquired on August 9, 2021;

ii. Broadband VI, LLC, which was acquired effective December 31, 2021; and

iii. Claro Panama, which was acquired on July 1, 2022.

In addition, we reflect the translation of our rebased amounts for the prior-year periods at the applicable average foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate our results for the corresponding current-year periods.

We have reflected the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA of acquired entities in our prior-year 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 the periods indicated, to derive our rebased growth rates. Due to rounding, certain rebased growth rate percentages may not recalculate.

In the tables set forth below:

• reported percentage changes are calculated as current period measure, as applicable, less prior-period measure divided by prior-period measure; and
• rebased percentage changes are calculated as current period measure, as applicable, less rebased prior-period measure divided by rebased prior-period measure.

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, inclusive and exclusive of VTR in light of the deconsolidation of VTR that occurred in connection with the closing of the Chile JV in October 2022.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 cash and cash equivalents divided by (ii) last two quarters annualized Adjusted OIBDA as of September 30, 2022. 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, the ratios 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, 2022 and June 30, 2022 are set forth below:

1.	Amounts represent the U.S. dollar equivalents and are based on interest rates and exchange rates that were in effect as of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, respectively.
2.	Operating income or loss is the closest U.S. GAAP measure to Adjusted OIBDA, as discussed in Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions above. Accordingly, we have presented consolidated debt and finance lease obligations to operating income (loss) and consolidated net debt and finance lease obligations to operating income (loss) as the most directly comparable financial ratios to our non-GAAP consolidated leverage and consolidated net leverage ratios.
3.	Adjusted OIBDA is a non-GAAP measure. See Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions above for reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA to the nearest U.S. GAAP measure for the three months ended September 30, 2022. A reconciliation of our operating income (loss) to Adjusted OIBDA for the three months ended March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022 and, for VTR, September 30, 2022 is presented in the following table:

	Three months ended

Non-GAAP Reconciliations for Our C&W Borrowing Group

The financial statements of each of our borrowing groups are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We include certain financial measures for our C&W 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 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.

A reconciliation of C&W's operating income (loss) to Adjusted OIBDA and Proportionate Adjusted OIBDA is presented in the following table:

	Three months ended						Nine months ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2022			2021			2022				2021
	in millions
Operating income (loss)	$	59.6		$	51.8		$	(329.2	)		$	186.9
Share-based compensation expense		6.2			11.6			24.6				28.3
Depreciation and amortization		151.7			146.9			422.0				432.4
Related-party fees and allocations		15.1			15.5			39.2				28.3
Impairment, restructuring and other operating items, net		5.4			3.7			568.4				12.6
Adjusted OIBDA		238.0			229.5			725.0				688.5
Noncontrolling interests' share of Adjusted OIBDA		36.5			35.5			104.3				102.5
Proportionate Adjusted OIBDA	$	201.5		$	194.0		$	620.7			$	586.0
