Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Liberty Latin America Ltd. ( Liberty Latin America ) is a registered company in Bermuda that primarily includes (i) Cable & Wireless Communications Limited ( C&W ) and its subsidiaries, (ii) VTR Finance B.V. ( VTR Finance ) and its subsidiaries, which include VTR.com SpA ( VTR ), (iii) Leo Cable LP ( Leo Cable ) and its subsidiaries, which includes Liberty Cablevision of Puerto Rico LLC ( LCPR ), collectively “ Liberty Puerto Rico ”, and (iv) LBT CT Communications, S.A. (a less than wholly-owned entity) and its subsidiary, Cabletica S.A. ( Cabletica ). C&W owns less than 100% of certain of its consolidated subsidiaries, including The Bahamas Telecommunications Company Limited ( C&W Bahamas ), Cable & Wireless Jamaica Limited ( C&W Jamaica ), and Cable & Wireless Panama, S.A. ( C&W Panama ). For information regarding the percentages of certain of our less than wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries, see Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Overview. We are an international provider of fixed, mobile and subsea telecommunications services. We provide residential and business-to-business ( B2B ) services in (i) over 20 countries, primarily in Latin America and the Caribbean, through C&W , (ii) Chile and Costa Rica, through VTR/Cabletica , and (iii) Puerto Rico, through Liberty Puerto Rico . Through our “ Networks & LatAm ” business, C&W also provides (i) B2B services in certain other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and (ii) wholesale communication services over its subsea and terrestrial fiber optic cable networks that connect over 40 markets in that region. In these notes, the terms “ we ,” “ our ,” “ our company ” and “ us ” may refer, as the context requires, to Liberty Latin America or collectively to Liberty Latin America and its subsidiaries. Unless otherwise indicated, ownership percentages and convenience translations into United States ( U.S. ) dollars are calculated as of March 31, 2020 . The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ( U.S. GAAP ) and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information required by U.S. GAAP or Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the 2019 Form 10-K ). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are used in accounting for, among other things, the valuation of acquisition-related assets and liabilities, expected credit losses, programming and copyright expenses, deferred income taxes and related valuation allowances, loss contingencies, fair value measurements, impairment assessments, capitalization of internal costs associated with construction and installation activities, useful lives of long-lived assets and actuarial liabilities associated with certain benefit plans. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Changes ASU 2018-15 In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( FASB ) issued Accounting Standards Update ( ASU ) No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software—Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract ( ASU 2018-15 ). ASU 2018-15 provides additional guidance on ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software—Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which was issued to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement) by providing guidance for determining when the arrangement includes a software license. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The guidance (i) provides criteria for determining which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense, (ii) requires an entity (customer) to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement and (iii) clarifies the presentation requirements for reporting such costs in the entity’s financial statements. We adopted ASU 2018-15 effective January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis for all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption and it is not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-13 In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ( ASU 2016-13 ), as amended by (i) ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates , which amended certain effective dates, and (ii) ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses , which clarifies guidance around how to report expected recoveries. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology for recognizing credit losses with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. We are required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans and other financial instruments. We adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings to align our credit loss methodology with the new standard. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period. Under the new model, we segment our receivables, unbilled revenue and contract assets based on days past due and record an allowance for current expected credit losses using average rates applied against each account’s applicable aggregate balance for each aging bucket. We establish the average rates based on consideration of the actual credit loss experience over the prior 12-month period, recent collection trends, current economic conditions and reasonable expectations of future payment delinquency. The cumulative effect of the changes to our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2020 was not material. As of March 31, 2020 , the impact of COVID-19 , as defined and further described in note 8 , has not had a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We will continue to actively monitor the impact of COVID-19 on our expected credit losses. Recent Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2018-14 In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans ( ASU 2018-14 ), which removes and modifies certain existing disclosure requirements and adds new disclosure requirements related to employer sponsored defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. ASU 2018-14 is effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2018-14 will have on our disclosures. ASU 2019-12 In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ( ASU 2019-12 ), which (i) simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod allocations and calculating income taxes in interim periods, and (ii) reduces the complexity in certain areas of existing tax guidance, including the recognition of deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Although we are currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2019-12 will have on our consolidated financial statements, we do not expect it will have a material impact. ASU 2020-04 In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ( ASU 2020-04 ), which provides optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ( LIBOR ), which regulators in the United Kingdom ( U.K. ) have announced will be phased out by the end of 2021. The expedients and exceptions provided by ASU 2020-04 are for the application of U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the rate reform, and will not be available after December 31, 2022, other than for certain hedging relationships entered into before December 31, 2022. We do not currently expect that the phase out of LIBOR will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The following accounting policy reflects an update to the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in our 2019 Form 10-K resulting from the adoption of ASU 2016-13 : Trade Receivables Our trade receivables are reported net of an allowance for credit losses. The allowance is established using our best estimates of current expected credit losses based upon, among other things, actual credit loss experience over the prior 12-month period, recent collection trends, prevailing and anticipated economic conditions and specific customer credit risk. Receivables outstanding greater than 30 days are considered past due and we generally write-off receivables after they become past due for 365 days, with the exception of certain amounts due from a single government. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across many different countries, with the exception of certain amounts due from a single government. Changes in the allowance for credit losses are set forth below: January 1, Provision for expected losses Write-offs Foreign currency translation adjustments and other March 31, in millions C&W $ 60.6 $ 10.4 $ (6.4 ) $ 7.7 $ 72.3 VTR/Cabletica 16.0 4.0 (2.2 ) (1.7 ) 16.1 Liberty Puerto Rico 10.7 1.3 (1.7 ) 0.5 10.8 Total $ 87.3 $ 15.7 $ (10.3 ) $ 6.5 $ 99.2

Acquisitions

Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions Pending Acquisition On October 9, 2019, Leo Cable and Liberty Latin America entered into a stock purchase agreement with certain subsidiaries of AT&T Inc. ( AT&T ) to acquire AT&T ’s wireless and wireline operations in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands (the AT&T Acquisition ) in an all-cash transaction. The AT&T Acquisition companies provide consumer mobile and B2B services in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, excluding DirecTV customers. The AT&T Acquisition is valued at an enterprise value of $1,950 million on a cash- and debt-free basis, subject to certain adjustments. We intend to finance this acquisition, including related fees and expenses, through a combination of net proceeds from the 2027 LPR Senior Secured Notes , the 2026 SPV Credit Facility and available liquidity. For further information about our debt and available liquidity, see note 9 . The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including reviews by the United States Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) and the Department of Justice ( DOJ ). We currently expect the transaction to close in the second half of 2020. AT&T will provide ongoing support to the companies associated with the AT&T Acquisition under a transition services agreement (the AT&T TSA ) for a period up to 36 months following the closing date of the acquisition. Services under the AT&T TSA include, but are not limited to, (i) wireless core, (ii) technology development, (iii) global technology operations, (iv) wireless engineering, (v) network infrastructure, (vi) supply chain and (vii) finance and sales operations. We may terminate any services under the AT&T TSA upon sixty business days’ notice to AT&T in accordance with the terms and conditions of the AT&T TSA . 2019 Acquisition UTS . Effective March 31, 2019 , we completed the acquisition of an 87.5% interest in United Telecommunication Services N.V. ( UTS ) for an initial cash purchase price of $162 million , which was subject to certain potential post-closing adjustments, based on an enterprise value of $189 million (the UTS Acquisition ). As noted below, during the first quarter of 2020, the purchase price was reduced by $6 million related to certain post-closing working capital adjustments. During the third quarter of 2019, we increased our ownership interest in UTS from 87.5% to 100% . UTS provides fixed and mobile services to the island nations of Curaçao, St. Maarten, St. Martin, Bonaire, St. Barths, St. Eustatius and Saba. The UTS Acquisition was funded through a $170 million draw on the C&W Revolving Credit Facility , as defined in note 9 . We have accounted for the UTS Acquisition as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, whereby the total purchase price was allocated to the acquired identifiable net assets of UTS based on assessments of their respective fair values, and the excess of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable net assets was allocated to goodwill. A summary of the purchase price and opening balance sheet of UTS at the effective March 31, 2019 acquisition date is presented in the following table. The opening balance sheet presented below reflects our final purchase price allocation (in millions): Cash $ 2.7 Trade receivables 19.0 Other current assets 6.7 Property and equipment 158.4 Goodwill (a) 17.1 Intangible assets subject to amortization 24.0 Other assets 18.2 Accounts payable (27.9 ) Other accrued and current liabilities (31.9 ) Other long-term liabilities (18.8 ) Noncontrolling interest (b) (11.6 ) Total purchase price (c) (d) $ 155.9 (a) The goodwill recognized in connection with the UTS Acquisition is primarily attributable to (i) the ability to take advantage of UTS ’s existing broadband communications and mobile networks to gain immediate access to potential customers, and (ii) synergies that are expected to be achieved through the integration of UTS with C&W ’s existing business in Curacao.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments	Derivative Instruments In general, we seek to enter into derivative instruments to protect against (i) increases in the interest rates on our variable-rate debt and (ii) foreign currency movements, particularly with respect to borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the borrowing entity. In this regard, through our subsidiaries, we have entered into various derivative instruments to manage interest rate exposure and foreign currency exposure with respect to the U.S. dollar ( $ ), the Chilean peso ( CLP ), the Colombian peso ( COP ) and the Jamaican dollar ( JMD ). With the exception of certain foreign currency forward contracts, we do not apply hedge accounting to our derivative instruments. Accordingly, changes in the fair values of most of our derivative instruments are recorded in realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table provides details of the fair values of our derivative instrument assets and liabilities: March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Current (a) Long-term (a) Total Current (a) Long-term (a) Total in millions Assets: Cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts (b) $ 20.4 $ 277.5 $ 297.9 $ 23.4 $ 126.9 $ 150.3 Foreign currency forward contracts 14.1 — 14.1 9.8 — 9.8 Total $ 34.5 $ 277.5 $ 312.0 $ 33.2 $ 126.9 $ 160.1 Liabilities: Cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts (b) $ 69.0 $ 215.3 $ 284.3 $ 34.9 $ 99.6 $ 134.5 Foreign currency forward contracts — — — 0.5 — 0.5 Total $ 69.0 $ 215.3 $ 284.3 $ 35.4 $ 99.6 $ 135.0 (a) Our current derivative assets, current derivative liabilities, long-term derivative assets and long-term derivative liabilities are included in other current assets, net, other accrued and current liabilities, other assets, net, and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. (b) We consider credit risk relating to our and our counterparties’ nonperformance in the fair value assessment of our derivative instruments. In all cases, the adjustments take into account offsetting liability or asset positions within each of our primary borrowing groups (see note 9 ). The changes in the credit risk valuation adjustments associated with our cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts resulted in net gains of $33 million and $2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 , respectively. The gain during the 2020 period is primarily due to increased credit risk stemming from market reaction to the COVID-19 outbreak . These amounts are included in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For further information regarding our fair value measurements, see note 6 . The derivative assets set forth in the table above exclude our Weather Derivatives , as defined below, as they are not accounted for at fair value. The Weather Derivatives are included in other current assets, net, in our condensed consolidated balance sheet. The details of our realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net, are as follows: Three months ended March 31, 2020 2019 in millions Cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts $ 9.3 $ (70.0 ) Foreign currency forward contracts and other (a) 8.1 1.0 Total $ 17.4 $ (69.0 ) (a) The amount for the 2020 period includes $2 million of amortization of the premiums associated with our Weather Derivative contracts (the Weather Derivatives ), which we entered into during the second quarter of 2019. The following table sets forth the classification of the net cash inflows of our derivative instruments: Three months ended March 31, 2020 2019 in millions Operating activities $ 4.0 $ 12.0 Investing activities 2.8 1.6 Financing activities (4.3 ) (0.5 ) Total $ 2.5 $ 13.1 Counterparty Credit Risk We are exposed to the risk that the counterparties to the derivative instruments of our borrowing groups will default on their obligations to us. We manage these credit risks through the evaluation and monitoring of the creditworthiness of, and concentration of risk with, the respective counterparties. In this regard, credit risk associated with our derivative instruments is spread across a relatively broad counterparty base of banks and financial institutions. Collateral has not been posted by either party under the derivative instruments of our borrowing groups. At March 31, 2020 , our exposure to counterparty credit risk included derivative assets with an aggregate fair value of $297 million . Each of our borrowing groups has entered into derivative instruments under agreements with each counterparty that contain master netting arrangements that are applicable in the event of early termination by either party to such derivative instrument. The master netting arrangements under each of these master agreements are limited to the derivative instruments governed by the relevant master agreement within each individual borrowing group and are independent of similar arrangements of our other subsidiary borrowing groups. Details of our Derivative Instruments Cross-currency Derivative Contracts As noted above, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk in situations where our debt is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the operations whose cash flows support our ability to service, repay or refinance such debt. Although we generally seek to match the denomination of our borrowings with the functional currency of the operations that are supporting the respective borrowings, market conditions or other factors may cause us to enter into borrowing arrangements that are not denominated in the functional currency of the underlying operations (unmatched debt). Our policy is generally to provide for an economic hedge against foreign currency exchange rate movements, whenever possible and when cost effective to do so, by using derivative instruments to synthetically convert unmatched debt into the applicable underlying currency. The following table sets forth the total notional amounts and the related weighted average remaining contractual lives of our cross-currency swap contracts at March 31, 2020 : Borrowing group Notional amount due from counterparty Notional amount due to counterparty Weighted average remaining life in millions in years C&W $ 108.3 JMD 13,817.5 6.8 $ 56.3 COP 180,000.0 6.3 VTR Finance $ 1,260.0 CLP 854,020.0 2.3 Interest Rate Derivative Contracts Interest Rate Swaps As noted above, we enter into interest rate swaps to protect against increases in the interest rates on our variable-rate debt. Pursuant to these derivative instruments, we typically pay fixed interest rates and receive variable interest rates on specified notional amounts. The following table sets forth the total U.S. dollar equivalents of the notional amounts and the related weighted average remaining contractual lives of our interest rate swap contracts at March 31, 2020 : Borrowing group Notional amount due from counterparty Weighted average remaining life in millions in years C&W (a) $ 2,425.0 5.9 VTR Finance $ 165.0 2.9 Liberty Puerto Rico $ 1,000.0 6.3 Cabletica $ 53.5 3.3 (a) Includes forward-starting derivative instruments. Basis Swaps Basis swaps involve the exchange of attributes used to calculate our floating interest rates, including (i) the benchmark rate, (ii) the underlying currency and/or (iii) the borrowing period. We typically enter into these swaps to optimize our interest rate profile based on our current evaluations of yield curves, our risk management policies and other factors. The following table sets forth the total U.S. dollar equivalents of the notional amounts and the related weighted average remaining contractual lives of our basis swap contracts at March 31, 2020 : Borrowing group Notional amount due from counterparty Weighted average remaining life in millions in years C&W $ 1,510.0 0.8 Liberty Puerto Rico $ 1,000.0 0.8 Foreign Currency Forwards Contracts We enter into foreign currency forward contracts with respect to non-functional currency exposure. At March 31, 2020 , our foreign currency forward contracts had total notional amounts due from and to counterparties of $90 million and CLP 64 billion , respectively, with a weighted average remaining contractual life of 0.3 years . All of our foreign currency forward contracts are held by our VTR Finance borrowing group.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements General We use the fair value method to account for most of our derivative instruments and the available-for-sale method to account for our investment in U.K. Government Gilts. The reported fair values of our derivative instruments as of March 31, 2020 likely will not represent the value that will be paid or received upon the ultimate settlement or disposition of these assets and liabilities, as we expect that the values realized generally will be based on market conditions at the time of settlement, which may occur at the maturity of the derivative instrument or at the time of the repayment or refinancing of the underlying debt instrument. U.S. GAAP provides for a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Recurring Fair Value Measurements Derivatives In order to manage our interest rate and foreign currency exchange risk, we have entered into various derivative instruments, as further described in note 5 . The recurring fair value measurements of these derivative instruments are determined using discounted cash flow models. Most of the inputs to these discounted cash flow models consist of, or are derived from, observable Level 2 data for substantially the full term of these derivative instruments. This observable data mostly includes interest rate futures and swap rates, which are retrieved or derived from available market data. Although we may extrapolate or interpolate this data, we do not otherwise alter this data in performing our valuations. We incorporate a credit risk valuation adjustment in our fair value measurements to estimate the impact of both our own nonperformance risk and the nonperformance risk of our counterparties. Our and our counterparties’ credit spreads represent our most significant Level 3 inputs, and these inputs are used to derive the credit risk valuation adjustments with respect to these instruments. Notwithstanding the impact of COVID-19 on our credit risk, we generally would not expect changes in our or our counterparties’ credit spreads to have a significant impact on the valuations of these instruments. As a result, we have determined that these valuations continue to fall under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Our credit risk valuation adjustments with respect to our cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts are quantified and further explained in note 5 . Due to the lack of Level 2 inputs for the valuation of the U.S. dollar to the Jamaican dollar cross-currency swaps (the Sable Currency Swaps ) held by Sable International Finance Limited ( Sable ), a wholly-owned subsidiary of C&W , we believe this valuation falls under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The Sable Currency Swaps are our only Level 3 financial instruments. The fair values of the Sable Currency Swaps at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 were $20 million and $30 million , respectively, which are included in other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The change in the fair values of the Sable Currency Swaps resulted in net gains of $10 million and $1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 , respectively, which are reflected in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Available-for-sale Investments Our investment in U.K. Government Gilts falls under Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , the carrying values of our investment in U.K. Government Gilts, which are included in other assets, net, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets, were $35 million and $37 million , respectively. Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements Fair value measurements are also used for purposes of nonrecurring valuations performed in connection with acquisition accounting and impairment assessments. Acquisition Accounting The nonrecurring valuations associated with acquisition accounting, which use significant unobservable inputs and therefore fall under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, primarily include the valuation of customer relationships and property and equipment, as further described below: • Customer relationships. The valuation of customer relationships is primarily based on an excess earnings methodology, which is a form of a discounted cash flow analysis. The excess earnings methodology for customer relationship intangible assets requires us to estimate the specific cash flows expected from the acquired customer relationships, considering such factors as estimated customer life, the revenue expected to be generated over the life of the customer relationships, contributory asset charges and other factors. • Property and equipment . Property and equipment is typically valued using a replacement or reproduction cost approach, considering factors such as current prices of the same or similar equipment, the age of the equipment and economic obsolescence. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 , we performed a nonrecurring valuation related to the acquisition accounting for the UTS Acquisition . The weighted average discount rate used in the final valuation of the customer relationships acquired as a result of the UTS Acquisition was approximately 13.5% .

Insurance Recoveries	Insurance Recoveries In September 2017, Hurricanes Irma and Maria impacted a number of our markets in the Caribbean, resulting in varying degrees of damage to homes, businesses and infrastructure in these markets. In October 2016, our operations in the Bahamas, which is part of our C&W segment, were significantly impacted by Hurricane Matthew. In December 2018, we settled our insurance claims for Hurricanes Irma, Maria and Matthew, as follows: (i) $109 million for Hurricanes Maria and Irma, after deducting $30 million of self-insurance, and (ii) $12 million for Hurricane Matthew, after deducting $15 million of self-insurance. During the first quarter of 2019, we received the then outstanding insurance settlement amount of $67 million , of which $33 million and $34 million have been presented as operating and investing activities, respectively, in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. With respect to the cash received, $37 million , $27 million and $3 million was provided to C&W , Liberty Puerto Rico

Through the first quarter of 2020, the impacts of COVID-19 did not have a significant impact on our operating results or cash flows. Notwithstanding the lack of a significant impact of COVID-19 on our first quarter results, as of March 31, 2020, we did evaluate whether the facts and circumstances and available information result in the need for an impairment assessment for any of our long-lived assets, including goodwill, and concluded no assessment was required. COVID-19 has resulted in systemic disruption of the worldwide equity markets, and the market values of our publicly-traded equity declined significantly beginning in late February. If, among other factors, (i) our equity values were to remain at these declined levels for a sustained period or were to decline further or (ii) the adverse impacts stemming from COVID-19 , competition, economic, regulatory or other factors, including macro-economic and demographic trends, were to cause our results of operations or cash flows to be worse than anticipated, we could conclude in future periods that impairment charges are required in order to reduce the carrying values of goodwill. Any such impairment charges could be significant. Our accumulated goodwill impairments were $1,348 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 . Property and Equipment, Net The details of our property and equipment and the related accumulated depreciation are set forth below: March 31, December 31, in millions Distribution systems $ 4,205.0 $ 4,299.6 Customer premises equipment ( CPE ) 1,727.4 1,763.8 Support equipment, buildings and land 1,492.1 1,530.9 7,424.5 7,594.3 Accumulated depreciation (3,261.0 ) (3,293.2 ) Total $ 4,163.5 $ 4,301.1 During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 , we recorded non-cash increases to our property and equipment related to vendor financing arrangements aggregating $24 million and $11 million , respectively.

The interest rates presented represent stated rates and do not include the impact of derivative instruments, deferred financing costs, original issue premiums or discounts and commitment fees, all of which affect our overall cost of borrowing. (b) Unused borrowing capacity represents the maximum availability under the applicable facility at March 31, 2020 without regard to covenant compliance calculations or other conditions precedent to borrowing. At March 31, 2020 , the full amount of unused borrowing capacity was available to be borrowed under each of the respective subsidiary facilities, both before and after completion of the March 31, 2020 compliance reporting requirements. At March 31, 2020 , there were no restrictions on the respective subsidiary’s ability to upstream from this availability to Liberty Latin America or its subsidiaries or other equity holders. (c) The estimated fair values of our debt instruments are determined using the average of applicable bid and ask prices (mostly Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy) or, when quoted market prices are unavailable or not considered indicative of fair value, discounted cash flow models (mostly Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The discount rates used in the cash flow models are based on the market interest rates and estimated credit spreads of the applicable entity, to the extent available, and other relevant factors. For additional information regarding fair value hierarchies, see note 6 . (d) The interest rate reflects the stated rate of the Convertible Notes . The effective interest rate of the Convertible Notes is 6.7% , which considers the impact of a discount recorded in connection with the value ascribed to the instrument’s conversion option. (e) The VTR Credit Facilities comprise certain CLP term loans and U.S. dollar and CLP revolving credit facilities, including unused borrowing capacity.

These obligations are generally due within one year and include value-added taxes ( VAT ) that were paid on our behalf by the vendor. Our operating expenses include $33 million and $31 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 , respectively, that were financed by an intermediary and are reflected on the borrowing date as a hypothetical cash outflow within net cash provided by operating activities and a hypothetical cash inflow within net cash provided by financing activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Repayments of vendor financing obligations are included in payments of principal amounts of debt and finance lease obligations in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. 2020 Financing and Refinancing Transactions C&W C&W Term Loan B-5 Facility . In January 2020, Coral-US Co-Borrower LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of C&W , entered into a LIBOR plus 2.25% $1,510 million principal amount term loan facility (the C&W Term Loan B-5 Facility ), issued at par, due January 31, 2028. Interest is payable monthly beginning on February 28, 2020. 2027 C&W Senior Secured Notes Add-on . In January 2020, Sable issued an additional $150 million aggregate principal amount, at 106.0% of par, under the existing 2027 C&W Senior Secured Notes indenture (the 2027 C&W Senior Secured Notes Add-on ). The terms and conditions of the 2027 C&W Senior Secured Notes Add-on are consistent with the original indenture. The net proceeds from the C&W Term Loan B-5 Facility and the 2027 C&W Senior Secured Notes Add-on were primarily used to repay in full the $1,640 million outstanding principal amount under the C&W Term Loan B-4 Facility , including accrued and unpaid interest. In connection with these transactions, we recognized a loss on debt modification and extinguishment of $3 million , which primarily includes the write-off of unamortized discounts and deferred financing costs. C&W Borrowing Group Refinancing Transactions . In January 2020, C&W completed a series of transactions contemplated by and permitted under its existing debt agreements (the C&W Borrowing Group Refinancing Transactions ) that ultimately resulted in the 2026 C&W Senior Notes and the 2027 C&W Senior Notes (previously issued by C&W Senior Financing Designated Activity Company) instead being directly issued by a wholly-owned subsidiary of C&W , C&W Senior Finance Limited. In connection with the C&W Borrowing Group Refinancing Transactions , the loans previously made by C&W Senior Financing Designated Activity Company are no longer outstanding. The terms and conditions applicable to the 2026 C&W Senior Notes and the 2027 C&W Senior Notes otherwise remain substantively unchanged. C&W Revolving Credit Facility . In January 2020, the maturity date associated with $575 million of the existing $625 million C&W Revolving Credit Facility was extended to January 30, 2026. All other terms and conditions of the revolving credit facility remain unchanged. In March 2020, we borrowed $313 million under the C&W Revolving Credit Facility , which is included in cash and cash equivalents on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 . VTR Finance VTR RCF – B . In March 2020, we borrowed $92 million under the VTR RCF – B , which is included in cash and cash equivalents on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 . Liberty Puerto Rico 2019 LPR Revolving Credit Facility .

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes We evaluate and update our estimated annual effective income tax rate on a quarterly basis based on current and forecasted operating results and tax laws. For interim tax reporting, we estimate an annual effective tax rate that is applied to year-to-date ordinary income or loss. The tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur. Our interim estimate of our annual effective tax rate and our interim tax provision are subject to volatility due to factors such as jurisdictions in which our deferred taxes and/or tax attributes are subject to a full valuation allowance, relative changes in unrecognized tax benefits and changes in tax laws. Based upon the mix and timing of our actual annual earnings or loss compared to annual projections, as well as changes in the factors noted above, our effective tax rate may vary quarterly and may make quarterly comparisons not meaningful. Income tax expense was $6 million and $4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 , respectively. This represents an effective income tax rate of 3.1% and 12.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 , respectively, including items treated discretely. For the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 , the income tax expense attributable to our loss before income taxes differs from the amounts computed using the statutory tax rate, primarily due to the net detrimental effects of international rate differences, increases in valuation allowances, changes in uncertain tax positions, and negative effects of permanent items, such as non-deductible expenses. These negative impacts to our effective tax rate were partially offset by the beneficial effects of permanent items, such as non-taxable income. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , these negative impacts to our effective tax rate were further offset by the beneficial effect of a change in the Barbados statutory tax rate effective March 19, 2019.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Unfulfilled Performance Obligations	Unfulfilled Performance Obligations We enter into certain long-term capacity contracts with customers where the customer either pays a fixed fee over time or prepays for the capacity upfront and pays a portion related to operating and maintenance of the network over time. We assess whether prepaid capacity contracts contain a significant financing component. If the financing component is significant, interest expense is accreted over the life of the contract using the effective interest method. The revenue associated with prepaid capacity contracts is deferred and generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract. As of March 31, 2020 , we have approximately $430 million of unfulfilled performance obligations relating to our long-term capacity contracts, primarily subsea contracts, that generally will be recognized as revenue over an average remaining life of seven years .

Equity [Abstract]
Equity	Equity Share Repurchase Program On March 16, 2020, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program (the Share Repurchase Program ), which authorizes us to repurchase from time to time up to $100 million of our Class A common shares and/or Class C common shares through March 2022, subject to certain limitations and conditions. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate us to repurchase any of our Class A or C common shares. Under the Share Repurchase Program , we may repurchase our common shares from time to time in open market purchases at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades, derivative transactions and/or through other legally permissible means. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 , we repurchased 55,338 and 114,975 Class A and Class C common shares, respectively. At March 31, 2020 , the remaining amount authorized for share repurchases was $98 million .

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Loss per Share	Loss per Share Basic earnings (loss) per share ( EPS ) is computed by dividing net loss attributable to Liberty Latin America shareholders by the weighted average number of Class A, Class B and Class C common shares of Liberty Latin America (collectively, Liberty Latin America Shares ) outstanding during the periods presented, as further described below. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect, if any, on a per share basis of potential shares as if they had been exercised, vested or converted at the beginning of the periods presented. The details of our net loss attributable to Liberty Latin America shareholders are set forth below: Three months ended March 31, 2020 2019 in millions Net loss $ (184.6 ) $ (41.2 ) Net loss (earnings) attributable to noncontrolling interests 3.9 (0.5 ) Net loss attributable to Liberty Latin America shareholders $ (180.7 ) $ (41.7 ) The details of our weighted average shares outstanding are set forth below: Three months ended March 31, 2020 2019 Weighted average shares outstanding - basic and dilutive 182,079,436 181,036,790 We reported losses attributable to Liberty Latin America shareholders during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 . As a result, the potentially dilutive effect at March 31, 2020 and 2019 of the following items was not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for such periods because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to the computation or, in the case of certain PSUs , because such awards had not yet met the applicable performance criteria: (i) using the if-converted method, the aggregate number of shares potentially issuable under our Convertible Notes of approximately 18.1 million and nil , respectively, (ii) the aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options, SARs and RSUs of approximately 22.1 million and 13.1 million , respectively, and (iii) the aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding PSUs of approximately 2.0 million and 1.6 million , respectively. A portion of these amounts relate to Liberty Latin America Shares held by employees of Liberty Global plc .

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Commitments In the normal course of business, we have entered into agreements that commit our company to make cash payments in future periods with respect to programming contracts, network and connectivity commitments, purchases of customer premises and other equipment and services and other items. The following table sets forth the U.S. dollar equivalents of such commitments as of March 31, 2020 : Payments due during: Remainder of 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Thereafter Total in millions Programming commitments $ 98.7 $ 106.3 $ 74.3 $ 43.6 $ 35.4 $ 0.3 $ — $ 358.6 Network and connectivity commitments 55.6 35.6 6.0 5.3 4.6 2.5 9.0 118.6 Purchase commitments 160.8 19.4 7.4 0.4 — — — 188.0 Other commitments 13.3 2.3 1.9 1.6 1.6 1.6 9.3 31.6 Total (a) $ 328.4 $ 163.6 $ 89.6 $ 50.9 $ 41.6 $ 4.4 $ 18.3 $ 696.8 (a) The commitments included in this table do not reflect any liabilities that are included in our March 31, 2020 condensed consolidated balance sheet. Programming commitments consist of obligations associated with certain programming, studio output and sports rights contracts that are enforceable and legally binding on us, as we have agreed to pay minimum fees without regard to (i) the actual number of subscribers to the programming services, (ii) whether we terminate service to a portion of our subscribers or dispose of a portion of our distribution systems or (iii) whether we discontinue our premium sports services. In addition, programming commitments do not include increases in future periods associated with contractual inflation or other price adjustments that are not fixed. Accordingly, the amounts reflected in the above table with respect to these contracts are significantly less than the amounts we expect to pay in these periods under these contracts. Historically, payments to programming vendors have represented a significant portion of our operating costs, and we expect that this will continue to be the case in future periods. In this regard, our total programming and copyright costs aggregated $101 million and $111 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 , respectively. Network and connectivity commitments include (i) domestic network service agreements with certain other telecommunications companies and (ii) VTR ’s mobile virtual network operator ( MVNO ) agreement. The amounts reflected in the above table with respect to our MVNO commitment represent fixed minimum amounts payable under this agreement and, therefore, may be significantly less than the actual amounts VTR ultimately pays in these periods. Purchase commitments include unconditional and legally-binding obligations related to (i) the purchase of customer premises and other equipment and (ii) certain service-related commitments, including call center, information technology and maintenance services. In addition to the commitments set forth in the table above, we have commitments under (i) derivative instruments and (ii) defined benefit plans and similar agreements, pursuant to which we expect to make payments in future periods. For information regarding our derivative instruments, including the net cash paid or received in connection with these instruments during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 , see note 5 . Guarantees and Other Credit Enhancements In the ordinary course of business, we may provide (i) indemnifications to our lenders, our vendors and certain other parties and (ii) performance and/or financial guarantees to local municipalities, our customers and vendors. Historically, these arrangements have not resulted in our company making any material payments and we do not believe that they will result in material payments in the future. In addition, C&W has provided indemnifications of (i) up to $300 million with respect to any potential tax-related claims related to the disposal in April 2013 of C&W ’s interests in certain businesses and (ii) an unlimited amount of qualifying claims associated with the disposal of another business in May 2014. The first indemnification expired in April 2020 and the second expires in May 2020. We do not expect that either of these arrangements will require us to make material payments to the indemnified parties. Legal and Regulatory Proceedings and Other Contingencies Regulatory Issues. Video distribution, broadband internet, fixed-line telephony and mobile businesses are regulated in each of the countries in which we operate. The scope of regulation varies from country to country. Adverse regulatory developments could subject our businesses to a number of risks. Regulation, including conditions imposed on us by competition or other authorities as a requirement to close acquisitions or dispositions, could limit growth, revenue and the number and types of services offered and could lead to increased operating costs and property and equipment additions. In addition, regulation may restrict our operations and subject them to further competitive pressure, including pricing restrictions, interconnect and other access obligations, and restrictions or controls on content, including content provided by third parties. Failure to comply with current or future regulation could expose our businesses to various penalties. In addition to the foregoing items, we have contingent liabilities related to matters arising in the ordinary course of business, including (i) legal proceedings, (ii) issues involving wage, property, withholding and other tax issues and (iii) disputes over interconnection, programming and copyright fees. While we generally expect that the amounts required to satisfy these contingencies will not materially differ from any estimated amounts we have accrued, no assurance can be given that the resolution of one or more of these contingencies will not result in a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position in any given period. Due, in general, to the complexity of the issues involved and, in certain cases, the lack of a clear basis for predicting outcomes, we cannot provide a meaningful range of potential losses or cash outflows that might result from any unfavorable outcomes.

Segment Reporting, Measurement Disclosures [Abstract]
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting We generally identify our reportable segments as those operating segments that represent 10% or more of our revenue, Adjusted OIBDA (as defined below) or total assets. We evaluate performance and make decisions about allocating resources to our reportable segments based on financial measures such as revenue and Adjusted OIBDA . In addition, we review non-financial measures such as subscriber growth. Adjusted OIBDA is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment operating performance. Adjusted OIBDA is also a key factor that is used by our internal decision makers to (i) determine how to allocate resources to segments and (ii) evaluate the effectiveness of our management for purposes of incentive compensation plans. As we use the term, “ Adjusted OIBDA ” is defined as operating income before depreciation and amortization, share-based compensation, 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 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. A reconciliation of total Adjusted OIBDA to operating income and to loss before income taxes is presented below. As of March 31, 2020 , our reportable segments are as follows: • C&W • VTR/Cabletica • Liberty Puerto Rico Our reportable segments derive their revenue primarily from residential and B2B services, including video, broadband internet and fixed-line telephony services and, with the exception of Liberty Puerto Rico , mobile services. We provide residential and B2B services in (i) over 20 countries, primarily in Latin America and the Caribbean, through C&W , (ii) Chile and Costa Rica, through VTR/Cabletica , and (iii) Puerto Rico, through Liberty Puerto Rico . C&W also provides (i) B2B services in certain other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean and (ii) wholesale communication services over its subsea and terrestrial fiber optic cable networks that connect over 40 markets in that region. Our corporate category includes our corporate operations. Performance Measures of our Reportable Segments The amounts presented below represent 100% of the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA of each of our reportable segments and our corporate operations. As we have the ability to control Cabletica and certain subsidiaries of C&W that are not wholly-owned, we include 100% of the revenue and expenses of these entities in our condensed consolidated statements of operations despite the fact that third parties own significant interests in these entities. The noncontrolling owners’ interests in the operating results of (i) certain subsidiaries of C&W and (ii) Cabletica are reflected in net earnings or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Accounting Changes	Accounting Changes ASU 2018-15 In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( FASB ) issued Accounting Standards Update ( ASU ) No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software—Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract ( ASU 2018-15 ). ASU 2018-15 provides additional guidance on ASU No. 2015-05, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software—Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement, which was issued to help entities evaluate the accounting for fees paid by a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (hosting arrangement) by providing guidance for determining when the arrangement includes a software license. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The guidance (i) provides criteria for determining which implementation costs to capitalize as an asset related to the service contract and which costs to expense, (ii) requires an entity (customer) to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement and (iii) clarifies the presentation requirements for reporting such costs in the entity’s financial statements. We adopted ASU 2018-15 effective January 1, 2020 on a prospective basis for all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption and it is not expected to have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. ASU 2016-13 In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ( ASU 2016-13 ), as amended by (i) ASU No. 2019-10, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates , which amended certain effective dates, and (ii) ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses , which clarifies guidance around how to report expected recoveries. ASU 2016-13 replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology for recognizing credit losses with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. We are required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans and other financial instruments. We adopted ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020 using a modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings to align our credit loss methodology with the new standard. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period. Under the new model, we segment our receivables, unbilled revenue and contract assets based on days past due and record an allowance for current expected credit losses using average rates applied against each account’s applicable aggregate balance for each aging bucket. We establish the average rates based on consideration of the actual credit loss experience over the prior 12-month period, recent collection trends, current economic conditions and reasonable expectations of future payment delinquency. The cumulative effect of the changes to our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2020 was not material. As of March 31, 2020 , the impact of COVID-19 , as defined and further described in note 8 , has not had a material impact on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. We will continue to actively monitor the impact of COVID-19 on our expected credit losses. Recent Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2018-14 In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans ( ASU 2018-14 ), which removes and modifies certain existing disclosure requirements and adds new disclosure requirements related to employer sponsored defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. ASU 2018-14 is effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2018-14 will have on our disclosures. ASU 2019-12 In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ( ASU 2019-12 ), which (i) simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions for recognizing deferred taxes for investments, performing intraperiod allocations and calculating income taxes in interim periods, and (ii) reduces the complexity in certain areas of existing tax guidance, including the recognition of deferred taxes for tax goodwill and allocating taxes to members of a consolidated group. ASU 2019-12 is effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. Although we are currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2019-12 will have on our consolidated financial statements, we do not expect it will have a material impact. ASU 2020-04 In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ( ASU 2020-04 ), which provides optional guidance for a limited time to ease the potential accounting burden associated with transitioning away from reference rates, such as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ( LIBOR ), which regulators in the United Kingdom ( U.K. ) have announced will be phased out by the end of 2021. The expedients and exceptions provided by ASU 2020-04 are for the application of U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by the rate reform, and will not be available after December 31, 2022, other than for certain hedging relationships entered into before December 31, 2022. We do not currently expect that the phase out of LIBOR will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Trade Receivables	Trade Receivables Our trade receivables are reported net of an allowance for credit losses. The allowance is established using our best estimates of current expected credit losses based upon, among other things, actual credit loss experience over the prior 12-month period, recent collection trends, prevailing and anticipated economic conditions and specific customer credit risk. Receivables outstanding greater than 30 days are considered past due and we generally write-off receivables after they become past due for 365 days, with the exception of certain amounts due from a single government. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across many different countries, with the exception of certain amounts due from a single government.
