Open the filing on EDGARLiberty Latin America Reports Q4 and FY 2025 Results
Sustained commercial momentum to finish the year
Operating income improvement; 9% FY 2025 rebased Adjusted OIBDA growth
Improving capital expenditure efficiency
Building back stronger in Jamaica
Denver, Colorado - February 18, 2026: Liberty Latin America Ltd. ("Liberty Latin America" or "LLA") (NASDAQ: LILA and LILAK, OTC Link: LILAB) today announced its financial and operating results for the three months ("Q4") and full year ("FY") ended December 31, 2025.
CEO Balan Nair commented, "The fourth quarter capped a strong year of commercial momentum across the Liberty Latin America group."
"The residential mobile business maintained its cadence of strong postpaid mobile subscriber additions leveraging recent investments, including in 5G, and underpinned by our focus on FMC."
"Revenue was notably supported toward year-end by underlying strength in our B2B and B2G business line, particularly in Liberty Networks and C&W Panama. In Liberty Networks, we are on track with our infrastructure projects, including the construction of a new subsea route on behalf of El Salvador and our own system expansion with Manta, adding low latency and high capacity routes to Latin America, the Caribbean and the USA, that will drive incremental cash flow for LLA. Additionally, we are quite excited about our recently announced strategic agreement with Amazon Web Services that will bring enhanced products to customers in the region."
"Continued cost reductions and customer base management helped drive strong margin expansion across the group. Segment highlights included steep margin recovery at Liberty Puerto Rico, robust performance at Liberty Caribbean, despite significant headwinds from Hurricane Melissa, and double-digit FY rebased Adjusted OIBDA growth at C&W Panama. A number of efficiency initiatives are in flight across LLA which will be supportive to our financial performance in 2026."
"Our team has worked tirelessly in our recovery efforts in Jamaica, rapidly restoring our mobile service after a category 5 hurricane: we are now back to 100% and beyond pre hurricane levels. We continue to innovate our network transformation in mobile and are in the process of rebuilding our fixed network in line with the recovery of homes and businesses."
"For LLA, we drove year-over-year growth in Adjusted FCF before partner distributions, including a record fourth quarter. A key component of our performance was management of our capital intensity, which ended the year at 14% of revenue. As we turn to 2026, LLA continues to be highly focused on organic growth, cash flow expansion, and unlocking value in our equity."

1.See Glossary for the definition of RGUs and mobile subscribers. Organic figures exclude RGUs and mobile subscribers of acquired entities at the date of acquisition and other non-organic adjustments, but include the impact of changes in RGUs and mobile subscribers from the date of acquisition. All subscriber / RGU additions or losses refer to net organic changes, unless otherwise noted.
2.In late October 2025, Hurricane Melissa impacted portions of Jamaica, causing significant damage to homes and network infrastructure. As a result, we have reduced our RGUs by approximately 136,000, comprised of 65,000 fixed-line telephony, 57,000 broadband internet and 14,000 video subscribers, and have reduced our homes passed and customer relationships by 133,000 and 57,000, respectively. These adjustments relate to RGUs where we currently do not expect to restore fixed services in the near term. However, our final assessment may change based upon the ultimate completion of our restoration and reconnection efforts in the impacted areas of the island. Our December 31, 2025 RGU count includes approximately 86,000 RGUs that were not receiving service as of the end of the year, but are expected to be restored in the near term, and for which we did not recognize any revenue following Hurricane Melissa.

- Reported and rebased revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was flat and 1% lower as compared to the corresponding prior-year periods, respectively.
- In Q4, revenue grew 1% YoY on a reported and rebased basis. Strong growth at C&W Panama and Liberty Networks was partly offset by unfavorable YoY trends in Puerto Rico as well as headwinds from Hurricane Melissa impacting our Liberty Caribbean segment.
Q4 2025 Revenue Growth - Segment Highlights
(All growth rates are year-over-year unless otherwise specified)
- Liberty Caribbean: revenue decreased 4% on both a reported and rebased basis, driven by the negative impact of Hurricane Melissa from the end of October. For the fourth quarter we estimate that Hurricane Melissa negatively impacted revenue by $20 million.
- The Jamaican mobile network recovered quickly after the hurricane, and subsequently saw a solid uplift in prepaid revenue; the smaller postpaid business has proved quite resilient. We recorded residential mobile revenue growth of 4% and 5% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively, across Liberty Caribbean supported by the continued success of FMC.
- Residential fixed revenue was most exposed to the hurricane in Jamaica. Revenue declined by 10% and 9% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively, mainly due to the headwind of offline and lost subscribers from Hurricane Melissa. Underlying residential fixed revenue continued to feel some pressure across the region from video and voice volumes.
- B2B revenue declined by 6% on both a reported and rebased basis driven by the impact of Hurricane Melissa and given the relatively high weighting of fixed revenue within our B2B business.
- C&W Panama: revenue increased by 10% on both a reported and rebased basis.
- The principal driver of this strong performance was B2B, delivering 24% growth on a rebased basis, due to higher revenue from new government-related projects. Sequentially, B2B revenue increased by $29 million.
- Liberty Networks: revenue increased by 18% and 14% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. This was driven principally by our Wholesale business, in turn supported by a large contract win as well as ongoing momentum in subsea capacity.
- Liberty Puerto Rico: revenue was 4% lower on both a reported and rebased basis. As seen in prior quarters, our rebased revenue decline was due to both a 3% decrease in residential mobile and a 4% decline in B2B, resulting from the challenges with our mobile network migration in 2024.
- Sequentially, revenue grew by 1% supported by higher mobile equipment sales in the seasonally strong period.
- Liberty Costa Rica: revenue was flat on a reported basis and fell 2% on a rebased basis, respectively. Strength in our residential business was driven by solid growth in postpaid mobile revenue, having grown the postpaid subscriber base by 16% in 2025. This was offset by weaker B2B (-28%) as we faced a tough comparison with the prior-year period.
- Sequentially, segment revenue increased by 9%.
Operating Income (Loss)
- We reported operating income (loss) of $126 million and $119 million for the three months ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $108 million and $(77) million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
- The improvement for the three month comparison is primarily due to the net effect of (i) an increase in Adjusted OIBDA, (ii) an increase in impairment, restructuring and other operating items, net, mostly attributable to Hurricane Melissa, and (iii) a decline in share-based compensation expense. The improvement for the full-year comparison is primarily driven by (i) an increase in Adjusted OIBDA and (ii) a decrease in depreciation and amortization.

| Operating income (loss) margin | 10.8% | 10.3% | 2.4% | (1.7)% |
| Adjusted OIBDA margin | 38.9% | 36.4% | 38.4% | 35.2% |
- Adjusted OIBDA for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by 9% on both a reported and rebased basis as compared to the corresponding prior-year periods. For the fourth quarter, corresponding YoY growth rates were 8%.
- Adjusted OIBDA increased in Q4 given strong YoY expansion at C&W Panama, Liberty Networks and Liberty Puerto Rico and notwithstanding the impact of Hurricane Melissa. These headwinds represented $27 million at the Adjusted OIBDA level in the fourth quarter.
- Across LLA, we maintain a number of cost initiatives, which are providing our operating segments and corporate, with enhanced operating leverage, as we streamline our operating structure and achieve cost efficiencies. These activities should continue to bear fruit in 2026.
Q4 2025 Adjusted OIBDA Growth - Segment Highlights
(All growth rates are year-over-year unless otherwise specified)
- Liberty Caribbean: Adjusted OIBDA fell by 9% and 8% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively, resulting from the drag of Hurricane Melissa more than offsetting strongly improving underlying costs over the period.
- C&W Panama: Adjusted OIBDA increased by 18% on both a reported and rebased basis, driven by the aforementioned strength in B2B project revenue and supported by a favorable YoY margin mix.
- Liberty Networks: Adjusted OIBDA increased by 22% and 21% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively, primarily due to higher revenue and a favorable phasing of project-related costs for the fourth quarter.
- Liberty Puerto Rico: Adjusted OIBDA increased by 26% on both a reported and rebased basis, despite the aforementioned rebased revenue decline.
- Adjusted OIBDA benefited from a significant reduction in bad debt expense versus the prior-year period. In addition, the business has been engaged in an aggressive cost-out program in 2025 and, as a result, has been able to further streamline and right size its operating structure and processes to complement its current customer base.
- Liberty Costa Rica: Adjusted OIBDA declined by 1% and 3% on a reported and rebased basis, respectively. This reflected lower year-over-year revenue on a rebased basis, along with higher bad debt expense.

1.In late October 2025, Hurricane Melissa impacted portions of Jamaica, causing significant damage to homes and network infrastructure. As a result, we have reduced our RGUs by approximately 136,000, comprised of 65,000 fixed-line telephony, 57,000 broadband internet and 14,000 video subscribers, and have reduced our homes passed and customer relationships by 133,000 and 57,000, respectively. These adjustments relate to RGUs where we currently do not expect to restore fixed services in the near term. However, our final assessment may change based upon the ultimate completion of our restoration and reconnection efforts in the impacted areas of the island. Our December 31, 2025 RGU count includes approximately 86,000 RGUs that were not receiving service as of the end of the year, but are expected to be restored in the near term, and for which we did not recognize any revenue following Hurricane Melissa.
Glossary
Adjusted OIBDA - Operating income or loss before share-based compensation and other Employee Incentive Plan-related expense, depreciation and amortization, provisions and provision releases related to significant litigation and impairment, restructuring and Other Operating Items. Other Operating Items includes (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.
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 Debt and Finance Lease Obligations to Operating Income Ratio - Defined as total principal amount of debt outstanding (including liabilities related to vendor financing, debt related to the Tower Transactions, other debt and finance lease obligations) to annualized operating income from the most recent two consecutive fiscal quarters.
Consolidated Net Debt and Finance Lease Obligations to Operating Income Ratio - Defined as total principal amount of debt outstanding (including liabilities related to vendor financing, debt related to the Tower Transactions, other debt and finance lease obligations) less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash related to debt to annualized operating income 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, debt related to the Tower Transactions and other debt), including the effects of derivative instruments, original issue premiums or discounts 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 outstanding, including liabilities related to vendor financing, debt related to the Tower Transactions, other debt and finance lease obligations, 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 less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash related to debt. 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.
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 Puerto Rico 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.
Tower Transactions - Transactions entered into during 2023 associated with certain of our mobile towers across various markets that (i) have terms of 15 or 20 years and did not meet the criteria to be accounted for as a sale and leaseback and (ii) also include "build to suit" sites that we are obligated to construct over the next 4 years.
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 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 and Adjusted OIBDA Margin, each on a consolidated basis, (ii) Adjusted Free Cash Flow, (iii) rebased revenue and rebased Adjusted OIBDA growth rates, (iv) consolidated leverage ratios, and (v) Adjusted OIBDA less property and equipment additions on a consolidated basis. 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.
During the fourth quarter of 2025, we identified certain immaterial errors in our previously reported 2024 consolidated financial statements, primarily related to revenue and bad debt expense. This impacted FY 2024 revenue at Liberty Puerto Rico by $10 million and Adjusted OIBDA by $29 million, and Q4 2024 revenue by $2 million and Adjusted OIBDA by $9 million. 2024 numbers have been restated accordingly.
Adjusted OIBDA
On a consolidated basis, Adjusted OIBDA is a non-U.S. GAAP measure. Adjusted OIBDA is the primary measure used by our CODM, our Chief Executive Officer, to evaluate segment operating performance. Adjusted OIBDA is also a key factor that is used by our internal decision makers to determine how to allocate resources to segments. Our internal decision makers believe Adjusted OIBDA is a meaningful measure because it represents 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 measure is useful to investors because it is one of the bases for comparing our performance with the performance of other companies in the same or similar industries, although our measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other public companies. Adjusted OIBDA should be viewed as a measure of operating performance that is a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income or loss, net earnings or loss and other U.S. GAAP measures of income or loss.
Adjusted OIBDA Less Property and Equipment Additions
We define Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions, which is a non-GAAP measure, as Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions on an accrual basis. Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions is a meaningful measure because it provides (i) a transparent view of Adjusted OIBDA that remains after our capital spend, which we believe is important to take into account when evaluating our overall performance and (ii) a comparable view of our performance relative to other telecommunications companies. Our Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions measure may differ from how other companies define and apply their definition of similar measures. Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions should be viewed as a measure of operating performance that is a supplement to, and not substitute for, U.S. GAAP Measure of income included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations.
A reconciliation of our operating income or loss to total Adjusted OIBDA, and Adjusted OIBDA less property and equipment additions is presented in the following table:

1.Includes expense associated with our LTVP, the vesting of which can be settled in either common shares or cash at the discretion of Liberty Latin America’s Compensation Committee.
2.Calculated by dividing operating income or (loss) by total revenue for the applicable period.
3.Calculated by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenue for the applicable period.
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, and (iii) proceeds received in connection with handset receivables securitization, less (a) capital expenditures, net, (b) principal payments on amounts financed by vendors and intermediaries, (c) principal payments on finance leases, (d) repayments made associated with a handset receivables securitization, and (e) distributions to noncontrolling interest owners. 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 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 | Year ended |
|---|
| December 31, | December 31, |
|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|

| Net cash provided by operating activities | $461.9 | | $398.6 | | $805.9 | | $756.3 | |
| Cash payments for direct acquisition and disposition costs | 4.9 | | 2.9 | | 13.7 | | 7.9 | |
| Expenses financed by an intermediary | 47.3 | | 54.2 | | 201.1 | | 198.8 | |
| Capital expenditures, net | (141.8) | | (163.7) | | (500.0) | | (540.4) | |
| Principal payments on amounts financed by vendors and intermediaries | (88.7) | | (88.6) | | (346.0) | | (324.6) | |
| Principal payments on finance leases | (0.4) | | (0.2) | | (1.1) | | (0.9) | |
| Proceeds from (repayments of) handset receivables securitization, net | (5.2) | | (7.4) | | (23.9) | | 19.2 | |
| Adjusted FCF before distributions to noncontrolling interest owners | 278.0 | | 195.8 | | 149.7 | | 116.3 | |
| Distributions to noncontrolling interest owners | (44.2) | | (32.6) | | (73.3) | | (55.1) | |
| Adjusted FCF | $233.8 | | $163.2 | | $76.4 | | $61.2 | |
1.For purposes of our consolidated statements of cash flows, expenses financed by an intermediary, including value-added taxes, 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 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.
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, disposed or transferred businesses, as applicable, to the same extent they are included in the current year. The businesses that were acquired or disposed of impacting the comparative periods are as follows:
i.LPR Acquisition (acquisition of spectrum and prepaid subscribers in Puerto Rico and USVI from EchoStar), which was completed on September 3, 2024; and ii.C&W Panama DTH, which was shutdown on January 15, 2025.
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 period.
We have reflected the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA of the 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 (in the case of the LPR Acquisition, an estimated carve-out of revenue and Adjusted OIBDA associated with the acquired business), 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 this transaction had occurred on the date 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 reconciliation 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 (Consolidated Leverage Ratios), each a non-GAAP measure, are defined as (i) the principal amount of debt and finance lease obligations less cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash related to debt divided by (ii) last two quarters of annualized Adjusted OIBDA. We generally use Adjusted OIBDA for the last two quarters annualized when calculating our Consolidated Leverage Ratios to maintain as much consistency as possible with the calculations established by our debt covenants included in the credit facilities or bond indentures for our respective borrowing groups, which are predominantly determined on a last two quarters annualized basis. 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 ratios 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 December 31, 2025 and September 30, 2025 are set forth below:

1.Amount relates to restricted cash at Liberty Puerto Rico that serves as collateral against certain letters of credit associated with the funding received from the FCC to continue to expand and improve our fixed network in Puerto Rico.
2.Operating income or loss is the closest U.S. GAAP measure to Adjusted OIBDA, as discussed in Adjusted OIBDA 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 above for reconciliation of Adjusted OIBDA to the nearest U.S. GAAP measure for the three months ended December 31, 2025. A reconciliation of our operating income (loss) to Adjusted OIBDA for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and June 30, 2025 is presented in the following table:

Non-GAAP Reconciliations for 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 C&W, Liberty Puerto Rico and Liberty Costa Rica borrowing groups in this press release that are considered non-GAAP measures, including: (i) Adjusted OIBDA; (ii) Adjusted OIBDA Margin; (iii) Proportionate Adjusted OIBDA, (iv) rebased revenue and (v) rebased Adjusted OIBDA.
Adjusted OIBDA for our borrowing groups is defined as operating income or loss before share-based compensation and other Employee Incentive Plan-related expense, 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.
