Millicom Chief Executive Officer Marcelo Benitez commented:

"We are off to a strong start in 2026, with solid operational execution and important progress on the strategic initiatives that will shape the future of Millicom. During the quarter, we strengthened our position in Colombia through the acquisition of EPM's 50% stake in Tigo UNE and Telefónica's majority stake in Coltel, which we are now fully consolidating in our results. Shortly after quarter-end, we also acquired the remaining stake in Coltel from La Nación de Colombia. Together, these steps give us greater scale, stronger network assets, and a broader customer base in one of our most important markets.

Led by NJJ, we began to apply the Millicom playbook in Chile, following the acquisition of Telefónica Chile. While it is still early, the new leadership team has already taken decisive action to simplify the commercial offer, stabilize ARPU, reduce leverage, and resize the organization.

Operationally, our underlying business continues to perform well. In Mobile, our prepaid-to-postpaid migration strategy continues to gain traction, supporting ARPU growth and service revenue momentum.

Financially, Service Revenue grew 4.9% organically to USD $2 billion while Adjusted EBITDA reached $857 million, with a reported margin of 43.2%, despite initial Coltel integration and restructuring costs. Equity free cash flow was $225 million for the quarter improving $90 million year-on-year when excluding last years infrastructure sale, a strong outcome for what is typically our weakest quarter.

Overall, we are executing a clear strategy: strengthen our core markets, improve customer value, expand convergence, and maintain disciplined cash flow management."

Revenue increased 45.1% year-over-year in Q1 2026, primarily driven by the acquisition of Coltel in Colombia, the expansion into Ecuador and Uruguay, favorable foreign exchange movements against the U.S. dollar, mainly from Colombia, Paraguay and Bolivia, as well as continued growth in Mobile and B2B Revenues.

Equipment, programming and other direct costs increased 52.4%, primarily driven by the Coltel acquisition and the addition of Ecuador and Uruguay, which together accounted for a $131 million increase.

Operating expenses increased 54.2% year-on-year, reflecting the integration of operations in Colombia including $65 million in related severance charges as well as the addition of Ecuador and Uruguay.

Depreciation and amortization increased 64.7% and 35.9%, respectively, reflecting mainly the Coltel acquisition in Colombia, the expansion of the consolidation perimeter in Ecuador and Uruguay, and the appreciation of local currencies.

Share of profit (loss) in joint ventures was a negative $13 million mainly reflecting our share of losses in our associate in Chile, partially offset by our share of profits in the Honduras Joint Venture. Other operating income declined to $38 from $72 million in the year-ago quarter, mainly due to shared mobile network asset transfers in Colombia. As a result, operating profit decreased 1.2%, year-on-year to $416 million.

Net financial expenses increased $77 million year over year to $238 million, driven by higher interest and lease expenses, as a result of the expansion of the perimeter, and increased indebtedness related to recent M&A transactions.

Other non-operating expense, net, totaled $24 million, largely due to realized losses on maturing legacy instruments from the Colombia acquisition.

Net tax expense of $78 million increased year-on-year mainly due to increased profitability and last year's Latin transaction.

Non-controlling interests were a $34 million gain for Q1 2026, versus a $26 million loss in Q1 2025, reflecting our share of losses in the newly acquired Colombian operation.

As a result of the above operating performance, net profit attributable to owners of the company, was $109 million, or $0.65 per share, based on 167.25 million weighted average shares outstanding in Q1 2026. Net profit for the period includes approximately $67 million in restructuring charges related to newly acquired operations. This compares to a net profit of $193 million or $1.14 per share based on 169.2 million weighted average shares outstanding in Q1 2025. Net Profit for Q1 2025 benefited from approximately $95 million in one time gains.

Equity Free Cash Flow (EFCF) in Q1 2026 was $225 million, compared to $177 million in Q1 2025 which included a non-recurring benefit of $42 million from the infrastructure sale. The increase in EFCF over the past year is explained primarily by the following items:

Positives:

  • $221 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA, primarily driven by portfolio expansion, and operational leverage from topline growth, with additional support from favorable foreign exchange tailwinds, partially offset by one-time restructuring costs.
  • $49 million increase in working capital, mainly due to payments phasing and improved collections.
  • $13 million decrease in taxes paid mainly reflecting higher prior-year tax payments driven by one-off incremental taxes on gains from last year's infrastructure sale.
  • $11 million increase of repatriation from joint ventures and associates.

Detractors:

  • $107 million increase in Cash Capex driven by a one-time $42 million impact related to last year's infrastructure sale, higher capex execution in Colombia and Bolivia, in addition to capex obligations stemming from inorganic growth.
  • $63 million in spectrum payments mainly in Ecuador.
  • $58 million increase in lease payments due to the perimeter expansion and tower sale and leaseback transaction.
  • $19 million year-on-year increase in financial expenses primarily driven by recent perimeter expansion and the associated financing costs.

Debt

During Q1 2026, gross debt increased $1,739 million to $8,624 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $6,886 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily driven by the consolidation of Coltel, which added $1,482 million of gross debt.

As of March 31, 2026, 61% of gross debt was in local currency¹, while 57% of our debt was at fixed rates² with an average maturity of 3.6 years. Approximately 71% of gross debt was held at our operating entities, while the remaining 29% was at the corporate level. The average interest rate on our debt was 7.8%. On our dollar-denominated debt³, the average interest rate was 5.6% with an average maturity of 3.9 years.

Cash was $1,177 million as of March 31, 2026, a decrease of $375 million, compared with $1,552 million as of December 31, 2025, with approximately 80% held in U.S. dollars. As a result, net debt* increased to $7,609 million as of March 31, 2026, up $2,253 million quarter-on-quarter. The increase was driven by $773 million of acquisition-related payments, including the purchase of EPM's equity stake in Tigo Une, the acquisition of two-thirds of Coltel from Telefónica, and the joint acquisition of Telefónica Chile in partnership with NJJ.

In addition, net debt increased due to the consolidation of Coltel, which added $1,513 million net debt, a $125 million dividend payment and foreign exchange rate impacts from the appreciation of local currency denominated debt. These increases were partially offset by the EFCF generation of $225 million during the quarter. As a result, leverage* increased, ending the quarter at 2.76x, compared with 2.17x as of December 31, 2025.

  1. Fixed and other services, including broadband, Pay TV, content, and fixed voice services for residential (Home) customers, as well as voice, data and value-added services and solutions to business and government customers.

On occasion, we also discuss our performance by customer type, with B2B referring to our business and government customers, while B2C includes residential and personal consumer groups.

Market environment

The macroeconomic environment in our markets remained relatively stable during 1Q 2026, with the Colombian Peso, Paraguayan Guarani and Bolivian Boliviano appreciating year over year 13.3%, 20.5% and 24.5% respectively against the U.S. Dollar, impacting results during the period. Foreign exchange rates and movements are presented on page 16.

Key Performance Indicators

The mobile business ended Q1 with 57.3 million customers, up 37.8% year-on-year reflecting net additions of 8.0 million during the quarter, with postpaid additions of 5.6 million customers primarily as a result of the inclusion of Coltel's operations with the addition of 8.8 million mobile customers, and 5.4 million postpaid customers. Mobile ARPU increased 13.4% year-on-year. Excluding inorganic growth net additions would have increased 827,000 customers with postpaid customers growing 1.0 million for the year, supported by our ongoing efforts to drive pre-to-postpaid migration.

At the end of Q1 2026, Millicom fixed networks passed 21.9 million homes, an increase of 8.3 million for the year. HFC and FTTH customer relationships increased 1.7 million in Q1 26 over Q1 25. HFC/FTTH revenue-generating units ("RGU") increased by 3.0 million year-on-year. These trends were mainly driven by the consolidation of Coltel. Excluding this inorganic growth HFC/FTTH RGUs would have declined by 80,000 for the year due to a reduction in fixed telephony connections. This decline was partially offset by an increase of 201,000 broadband internet connections.

Financial indicators

In Q1 2026, revenue increased 45.1% year-on-year to $1,985 million, while service revenue increased 45.2% to $1,857 million. Excluding the impact of currency movements, the in-market consolidation, organic service revenue grew 4.9% year-on-year, driven by robust growth in Mobile and B2B Service Revenue

Adjusted EBITDA was $857 million, up 35.5% year-on-year. This increase was driven by $33 million from the consolidation of Coltel, savings from our efficiency program, and the impact of M&A and restructuring-related one-offs reflected in our 2026 results. Capex was $193 million in Q1 2026, up 46.0% year over year due to the

incorporation of operations in Ecuador, Uruguay and Colombia. Excluding these effects, capex increased 26.8% year over year, mainly reflecting higher capex execution in line with sales growth.

Country performance

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

  • Guatemala service revenue totaled $370 million representing year-on-year growth of 5.5%, driven by our pre-to-postpaid migration strategy.

Adjusted EBITDA increased 6.0% year-on-year to $237 million, reflecting the underlying service revenue growth.
  • Colombia reported service revenue totaled $653 million, including $243 million related to the acquisition of Coltel. Tigo Colombia service revenue grew 8.4% driven by postpaid mobile revenue, strong B2B performance linked to a cybersecurity contract for the government, and continued improvement in the Home business, supported by 19,000 HFC/FTTH customer net additions and price increases. Reported Adjusted EBITDA amounted to $205 million, including a $33 million increase from Coltel, which was negatively affected by $65 million in severance incurred. Tigo Colombia adjusted EBITDA increased 13.7% year-on-year.
  • Panama service revenue was $172 million, up 0.1% mainly due to a year-on-year increase in postpaid service revenue, partially offset by ARPU pressure in home. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 1.0% year-on-year to $91 million, and the Adjusted EBITDA margin reached 50.7%.
  • Paraguay service revenue totaled $158 million, representing year-on-year growth of 4.9%, driven by contributions from all three business units. Adjusted EBITDA increased 15.2% to $92 million in Q1 2026, with the margin expanding to 56.3%.

  • Service revenue in our Other markets⁴ increased 31.6% in U.S. dollar terms reaching $402 million, in line with robust revenue growth in Bolivia, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Uruguay which more than offset the negative performance in Costa Rica.

  • Corporate costs and others were $26 million in Q1 2026, up 5% year-on-year, mainly due to M&A cost, which were partially offset by savings in other corporate 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 underserved communities across the countries where we operate.

During Q1 2026, our flagship initiatives continued to generate meaningful impact across the region.

One of the highlights of the quarter was the continued success of Jóvenes Conectados in Paraguay. Due to the strong impact achieved during its first phase, the program launched its second generation and is expected to benefit more than 35,000 young people, continuing to provide digital and professional skills for the future workforce through a strong alliance between the Ministry of Education, private sector partners, and Tigo Paraguay.

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.

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 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 provide 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 subtracting 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.

Average Revenue per user per Month (ARPU) for our mobile customers is (x) the total mobile and mobile financial services revenue (excluding revenue earned from tower rentals, call center, data and mobile virtual network operator, visitor roaming, national third parties roaming and mobile telephone equipment sales revenue) for the period, divided by (y) the average number of mobile subscribers for the period, divided by (z) the number of months in the period. We define ARPU for our home customers as (x) the total home revenue (excluding equipment sales and TV advertising) for the period, divided by (y) the average number of customer relationships for the period, divided by (z) the number of months in the period. ARPU is not subject to a standard industry definition and our definition of ARPU may be different from other industry participants.
