Millicom Chief Executive Officer Marcelo Benitez commented:

"The second quarter was marked by strong and deliberate execution of our strategy. We signed an agreement to acquire Telefónica's operations in Uruguay and Ecuador, and we completed the partial closing of our infrastructure transaction with SBA, which unlocked over \$500 million in proceeds and supported our recently announced interim dividend of \$2.50 per share. To mark these strategic milestones, we proudly rang the Nasdaq opening bell - a symbolic moment that reflects our strengthened presence in Latin America and our long-term commitment to creating value for shareholders. At the same time, our core business continued to perform. We delivered record adjusted EBITDA margin of 46.7%, with almost half of our operations above 50%. Our equity free cash flow was strong at \$218 million well aligned with our full-year-target of around \$750 million."

2025 Financial Targets

Millicom continues to target 2025 EFCF of around \$750 million and year-end leverage below 2.5x. These targets reflect full year run-rate savings expected from efficiency measures implemented during 2024 and lower expected restructuring costs in 2025, partially offset by the impact of weaker projected foreign exchange rates and potential legal settlements. The targets exclude the impact of inorganic initiatives, such as proceeds related to the sale of Lati International and other assets.

Subsequent Events

On August 6, 2025, Millicom's Board approved a special interim dividend of \$2.50 per share. The interim dividend will be distributed in two equal installments of \$1.25 per share on October 15, 2025 and April 15, 2026, together with the regular dividend of \$0.75 per share on those dates.

Revenue declined 5.9% year-over-year in Q2 2025, as a result of weaker foreign exchange rates of the currencies of Bolivia, Colombia and Paraguay against the U.S. dollar. For Bolivia, the average foreign exchange rate during the quarter was 15.49, representing depreciation of 55.4% year-on-year, as we adopted the amendments to IAS 21.

Equipment, programming and other direct costs declined 10.6%, and Operating expenses declined 11.8% year-onyear, reflecting both savings from our efficiency program and weaker foreign exchange rates.

Depreciation and amortization declined 2.3% and 2.1%, respectively, due primarily to a temporary effect related to the creation of the shared mobile network in Colombia and, to a lesser extent, to longer useful lives for fiber assets.

Share of profit in our Honduras joint venture was stable at \$13 million, while Other operating income was zero this quarter. As a result, operating profit increased 3.4%, year-on-year to \$357 million.

Net financial expenses declined by \$12 million year-on-year to \$168 million, due to lower indebtedness as a result of debt repayment and lower bank charges in Bolivia after the application of the amendments to IAS 21 (as the devaluation is now allocated along the income statement), partially offset by the financial income on debt repurchases in 2024.

Sale of Lati International and Lati Paraguay of \$604 million displays the aggregated gross result of the partial closing of the infrastructure deal with SBA on June 13, 2025 and the sale of Lati Paraguay to Atis Group on June 3, 2025.

Other non-operating income/(expense), net of \$19 million largely reflects foreign exchange losses mainly in Bolivia, which was partly compensated by a positive adjustment to our litigation reserve recorded as an outcome of the mutual settlement reached with Telefonica, related to Millicom's termination of the acquisition of Telefonica's Costa Rica business in 2020.

Net tax expense of \$102 million increased year-on-year mainly due to higher profitability and the effect of the infrastructure transactions.

Non-controlling interests contributed \$3 million to net income in Q2 2025, versus a neutral impact in Q2 2024, reflecting our partner's share of losses in the Colombian operation.

As a result of the above items, net profit attributable to owners of the company, that includes \$590 million attributable to the infrastructure transactions in the quarter, was \$676 million (\$4.05 per share), with 166.88 million as the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the quarter showing a decline of 2.6% year-on-year. This compares to a net profit of \$78 million (\$0.46 per share) in Q2 2024. Following the cancellation of 3.1 million that was approved by the Board of Directors on May 21, 2025, as of June 30, 2025, there were 169.00 million shares issued and outstanding, including 1.96 million held in treasury.

Equity Free Cash Flow (EFCF) in Q2 2025 was \$218 million, compared to \$268 million Q2 2024. The \$50 million decrease in EFCF over the past year is explained primarily by the following items:

Positives:

  • \$17 million reduction in spectrum payments due to lower spending related to coverage obligations and performance bond payments in Colombia;
  • \$22 million reduction in financial expenses reflecting lower debt levels; foreign exchange impact, lower commission for U.S. dollar purchases in Bolivia.

Detractors:

  • \$47 million increase in Cash Capex due to a more than \$20 million advance payment for 2026 Capex;
  • \$25 million reduction in working capital, as a combined result of the phasing of payments to suppliers;
  • \$24 million increase in taxes paid, mainly due to increased profitability.

Debt

During Q2 2025, gross debt increased \$140 million to \$5,912 million as of June 30, 2025, compared to \$5,772 million as of March 31, 2025, due to new local currency debt acquired mainly in Guatemala and Paraguay, which was partially netted off by exchange rate movements during Q2.

As of June 30, 2025, 41% of gross debt was in local currency1 , while 81% of our debt was at fixed rates2 with an average maturity of 4.2 years. Approximately 59% of gross debt was held at our operating entities, while the remaining 41% was at the corporate level. The average interest rate on our debt was 6.2%. On our dollardenominated debt3 , the average interest rate was 5.5% with an average maturity of 4.3 years.

Cash was \$1,284 million as of June 30, 2025, an increase of \$749 million, which includes the \$542 million attributable to infrastructure transactions, compared to \$535 million as of March 31, 2025, and 87% was held in U.S. dollars. As a result, net debt* was \$4,655 million as of June 30, 2025, a decrease of \$620 million from last quarter, as the dividend payment of \$125 million was more than offset by EFCF generation and proceeds from the infrastructure transactions. As a result, leverage* decreased significantly, ending the quarter at 2.18x, down from 2.47x as of March 31, 2025.

1 Or swapped for local currency

2 Or swapped for fixed rates

3 Including SEK denominated bonds that have been swapped into US dollars.

Market environment

The global macroeconomic environment became more volatile in Q2, and this impacted the Colombian peso and Paraguayan guarani average foreign exchange rates, which depreciated by around 6% during the quarter on a year-onyear basis. In Bolivia, application of the amendments to IAS 21 as of January 1, 2025, has resulted in a foreign exchange rate of 15.49 on average during Q2, representing a devaluation of 55% year-on-year, impacting results during the period. The scarcity of U.S. dollars in the country has also been impacting inflation, which reached 24.0% for the last twelve-months period ended 30 June 2025, up from 10.0% for the full year 2024 and 2.1% for the full year 2023. As a result, we continue to prioritize the implementation of price increases in that market. Foreign exchange rates and movements are presented on page 13.

Key Performance Indicators

The mobile business ended Q2 with 41.8 million customers, up 2.8% year-on-year and reflecting net additions of 148,000 during the period. Postpaid continued to perform exceptionally well, with net additions of 247,000. Mobile ARPU declined 5.8% year-on-year due to weaker foreign exchange rates, whilst ARPU is growing in local currency.

At the end of Q2 2025, Millicom fixed networks passed 13.6 million homes, an increase of 63,000. HFC and FTTH customer relationships increased 41,000 in Q2, marking more than a year with positive net additions. HFC/FTTH revenue-generating units declined in Q2, mainly due to a reduction in fixed telephony connections, however broadband internet connections increased by 47,000.

Financial indicators

In Q2 2025, revenue declined 5.9% year-on-year to \$1,372 million, while service revenue decreased 5.9% to \$1,282 million. Excluding currency movements, organic service revenue increased 2.4% year-on-year, with growth in Mobile partially offset by a decline in Fixed and other services. The performance in Fixed reflects declines in Home, however we continue improving customer intake and heading into positive territory.

Adjusted EBITDA was \$641 million, up 1.1% year-on-year. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, Adjusted EBITDA increased 9.3% organically year-on-year. Capex was \$155 million in Q2 2025, up 15.1% year-on-year as we are accelerating the execution of Capex to advance revenue generation. As a result, Operating Cash Flow (OCF) declined 2.6% year-on-year to \$487 million in Q2 2025 from \$500 million in Q2 2024.

Country performance

Commentary in this section refers to performance measured in local currency terms, unless specified otherwise.

  • Guatemala service revenue of \$358 million represented year-on-year growth of 1.9%, driven by mobile strategy. Adjusted EBITDA increased 4.1% year-on-year to \$228 million, reflecting service revenue growth and effective cost control.
  • Colombia service revenue of \$339 million grew 4.9% year-on-year, fueled by growth in Mobile (mainly postpaid) and improvement in B2B and Home, as the latter has returned to positive territory since the pandemic and sustaining strong customer growth for the fourth consecutive quarter, with HFC/FTTH customer net additions of 37,000. Adjusted EBITDA increased 3.6% year-on-year to \$136 million, and the Adjusted EBITDA margin was 39.5%, reflecting service revenue growth.
  • Panama service revenue was \$170 million, down 0.9% year-on-year due to social unrest as a consequence of the social security reform, which reduced mobility during the quarter and impacted Mobile predominantly, resulting in a slowdown of such business compared to Q1 2025. Adjusted EBITDA grew 2.0% year-on-year to \$92 million, and the Adjusted EBITDA margin reached a new record of 51.7%(+3.9 percentage point increase year-on-year), reflecting cost savings from efficiency programs.
  • Paraguay service revenue of \$132 million increased 4.6% year-on-year, driven by very strong growth in B2B. Adjusted EBITDA grew 9.2% to \$69 million in Q2 2025, and the Adjusted EBITDA margin was 50.5%.
  • Bolivia service revenue increased 7.0%, with positive growth in Mobile and B2B partially offset by a small decline in Home, where we continue to prioritize profitability. Adjusted EBITDA increased 16.7% to \$33 million, and the Adjusted EBITDA margin was 45.5%, due to service revenue growth and savings from our efficiency programs.
  • Service revenue in our Other markets4 was flat in U.S. dollar terms, as growth in El Salvador and Nicaragua was offset by performance in Costa Rica. Adjusted EBITDA increased 9.2% in U.S. dollar terms driven by savings from our efficiency program.

4 Comprised of El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica

  • Service revenue in our Honduras joint venture (not consolidated) grew 5.8% to \$145 million, continuing with the solid performance achieved in Q1 2025. Adjusted EBITDA rose 11.0% to \$77 million, and the EBITDA margin was 50.4%.
  • Corporate costs and others were \$24 million in Q2 2025, down 44% year-on-year, reflecting savings from the efficiency program and some phasing on centrally managed expenses.

ESG highlights

At Millicom, we believe in the power of technology as a fundamental tool for development and equity. Through our social impact programs, we work to bring the opportunities of the digital world to vulnerable communities.

So far in 2025, we have trained 4,000 teachers through Maestr@s Conectad@s, empowered 15,000 women with Conectadas, and reached 26,000 children, parents, and teachers with Conéctate Seguro, promoting the safe and responsible use of the internet.

This year, we also expanded our focus to young people with the launch of Jóvenes Conectados in Paraguay—a program offering free online training with certifications from top universities and global companies, along with immersive experiences that connect high school seniors with the job market. An unprecedented alliance between the Ministry of Education, leading companies, and Tigo will enable this pilot to reach over 30,000 students in its first phase, with plans to scale the program across other markets.

Across all our programs, we are actively working to build strong partnerships with local governments, industry leaders, and other key stakeholders to increase our collective impact. Initiatives like Jóvenes Conectados, Maestr@s Conectad@s, Conectadas, and Conéctate Seguro are being strengthened through these alliances, allowing us to scale our efforts, share resources, and maximize success. We remain committed to expanding these collaborations to bring the benefits of the digital world to even more people across our markets.

Non-IFRS Measures

This press release contains financial measures not prepared in accordance with IFRS. These measures are referred to as "non-IFRS" measures and include: service revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Capex and Equity Free Cash Flow, among others defined below. Annual growth rates for these non-IFRS measures are often expressed in organic constant currency terms to exclude the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates, the adoption of new accounting standards, and are proforma for material changes in perimeter due to acquisitions and divestitures. The non-IFRS financial measures are presented in this press release as Millicom's management believes they provide investors with an additional information for the analysis of Millicom's results of operations, particularly in evaluating performance from one period to another. Millicom's management uses non-IFRS financial measures to make operating decisions, as they facilitate additional internal comparisons of Millicom's performance to historical results and to competitors' results, and provides them to investors as a supplement to Millicom's reported results to provide additional insight into Millicom's operating performance. Millicom's Compensation and Talent Committee uses certain non-IFRS measures when assessing the performance and compensation of employees, including Millicom's executive directors.

The non-IFRS financial measures used by Millicom may be calculated differently from, and therefore may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies - refer to the section "Non-IFRS Financial Measure Descriptions" for additional information. In addition, these non-IFRS measures should not be considered in isolation as a substitute for, or as superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS, and Millicom's financial results calculated in accordance with IFRS and reconciliations to those financial statements should be carefully evaluated.

Non-IFRS Financial Measure Descriptions

Service revenue is revenue related to the provision of ongoing services such as monthly subscription fees for mobile and broadband, airtime and data usage fees, interconnection fees, roaming fees, mobile finance service commissions and fees from other telecommunications services such as data services, short message services, installation fees and other value-added services excluding telephone and equipment sales.

Adjusted EBITDA is operating profit excluding impairment losses, depreciation and amortization, gains/losses on fixed asset disposals, and early termination of leases.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin represents Adjusted EBITDA in relation to revenue.

Organic growth represents year-on-year growth excluding the impact of changes in FX rates, perimeter, and accounting. Changes in perimeter are the result of acquisitions and divestitures. Results from divested assets are immediately removed from both periods, whereas the results from acquired assets are included in both periods at the beginning (January 1) of the first full calendar year of ownership.

Net debt is Debt and financial liabilities, including derivative instruments (assets and liabilities), less cash and pledged and time deposits.

Leverage is the ratio of net debt over LTM (last twelve months) Adjusted EBITDA less depreciation of right-of-use assets and Interest expense on leases, proforma for acquisitions made during the last twelve months.

Capex is balance sheet capital expenditure excluding spectrum and license costs and lease capitalizations.

Cash Capex represents the cash spent in relation to capital expenditure, excluding spectrum and licenses costs.

Operating Cash Flow (OCF) is Adjusted EBITDA less Capex.

Operating Free Cash Flow (OFCF) is Adjusted EBITDA, less cash capex, less spectrum paid, working capital, other non-cash items, and taxes paid.

Equity Free Cash Flow (EFCF) is OFCF less finance charges paid (net), lease interest payments, lease principal repayments, and advances for dividends to non-controlling interests, plus cash repatriation from joint ventures and associates.

Please refer to our 2024 Annual Report for a list and description of non-IFRS measures.
