Liberty Latin America Reports Q2 and H1 2020 Results
Performance impacted by COVID-19, improving from April low
RGU growth driven by 47,000 broadband adds; record RGU adds for Puerto Rico
Strong cash flows from operating activities and Adjusted FCF
Announced acquisition of Telefónica's fast-growing Costa Rica operation
Denver, Colorado - August 5, 2020: 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 (“Q2”) and six months (“YTD” or “H1 2020”) ended June 30, 2020.
CEO Balan Nair commented, “As anticipated, following a strong start to the year, the second quarter brought with it a number of COVID-19 related challenges for many of our operations, resulting in declining year-over-year top-line performance. The good news is that we planned extensively and were able to offset some of the impacts through early cost management actions. As we look to the rest of the year, our mobile and B2B businesses are expected to see further challenges, however we believe we are past the low point. We continue to be focused on generating positive free cash flow in 2020, and took a step towards that with our strong Q2 performance.”
“In terms of our reporting segments, Puerto Rico led with another tremendous quarter, reporting record RGU additions and we are looking forward to adding AT&T's assets in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands to further enhance our customer proposition and prospects. VTR and Cabletica also added subscribers in the period, albeit seeing more of an impact from lockdown restrictions in Chile. C&W experienced the greatest headwinds with declining RGUs driven by Panama where we experienced the most restrictive lockdowns across all of our markets. From a product perspective, consumers continue to demand high-speed connectivity and our fixed-line services have been particularly resilient.”
“Last week, we announced the exciting news that we agreed to acquire Telefónica's Costa Rica business. We have had great success in Costa Rica with our cable operation Cabletica and are increasing our investment in the country through a complementary, fast-growing, and postpaid-weighted mobile business. The two businesses combined would create a leading full-service communications player with approximately $400 million of revenue1. This transaction comes at an attractive valuation, consistent with our disciplined approach towards M&A.”
“As part of the financing for our acquisition of Telefónica Costa Rica as well as looking to other potential opportunities across our strong pipeline, we announced a $350 million rights offering today, with all the members of our Board and my leadership team having expressed their intention to subscribe. We feel this is an appropriate step to ensure we have flexibility to participate in accretive M&A opportunities, while maintaining a prudent capital structure.”
“Overall there continues to be uncertainty due to COVID-19, however our operating and financial performance has been improving since a trough in April, and we anticipate further progress over the remainder of 2020. Looking further ahead, cash generation remains our focus. This should be bolstered by organic performance, as we drive growth and efficiency in the business, benefiting from targeted network and product investments, in addition to disciplined acquisition activity.”

•Fixed customer additions: Organic additions of 21,000 in Q2 2020.
◦Liberty Puerto Rico reported a record quarter with 20,000 customer additions, approximately five times the prior-year period's additions.
◦Gains in VTR/Cabletica were offset by net losses in C&W, driven by Panama.
•Product additions: Organic fixed RGU additions of 19,000 in Q2 2020 were driven by broadband subscriber growth. Mobile organic losses totaled 310,000 in the quarter.
•C&W fixed RGUs declined by 26,000 during the quarter. This included gains of 26,000 in Jamaica, which were more than offset by losses of 45,000 in Panama, where rigorous lockdown measures, first implemented in March, continue to restrict commercial activity. Our losses in Panama include the removal of 76,000 RGUs who continue to receive services and, due to COVID-19, have not been disconnected in accordance with our normal policy for non-payment.
◦Broadband RGU additions of 2,000 were 13,000 lower year-over-year. In Jamaica, continued momentum drove record Q2 additions of 14,000, or three times the prior-year period. This performance was mostly offset by broadband RGU losses of 12,000 in Panama.
◦Video RGUs declined by 19,000, as a 3,000 RGU gain in Jamaica, where additions were 79% higher than the prior-year period, was more than offset by a reduction of 18,000 video subscribers in Panama, and net losses across our other markets.
◦Fixed-line telephony RGUs were 9,000 lower for C&W in the quarter. Jamaica, once again drove strong additions with a gain of 10,000 subscribers, eight times higher than
3
the prior-year period, however, this was more than offset by losses of 15,000 telephony RGUs in Panama, and net losses across our other markets.
◦Mobile subscribers declined by 307,000 in Q2, driven by prepaid losses of 289,000. Panama and Jamaica mobile subscribers were 131,000 and 107,000 lower, respectively. In both cases, mobility restrictions impacted demand for mobile services and the ability of customers to top-up. In Jamaica, we also continued to see increased promotional activity from our competitor. Subscriber net adds improved in June, following April and May, which were our weakest months in the year.
•VTR/Cabletica added 12,000 fixed RGUs during Q2. VTR added 5,000 RGUs overall, with strong broadband additions of 19,000, in-line with the prior-year period and 30% higher than Q1 2020, offset by 11,000 fixed-line telephony and 3,000 video RGU losses. Video subscriber losses at VTR followed the suspension of the Chilean soccer league. Cabletica added 6,000 RGUs in total, driven by broadband and video.
◦In mobile, VTR lost 3,000 subscribers in Q2 due to the impact of lockdown restrictions in Chile, particularly with respect to store closures leading to reduced retail activity. At June 30, 2020, 96% of VTR's subscribers were on postpaid plans.
•Liberty Puerto Rico reported a record 34,000 fixed RGU additions in Q2 driven by 22,000 broadband additions as demand increased for access to our high-speed network.

N.M. – Not Meaningful.
•Our reported revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by 14% and 8%, respectively.
◦Reported revenue decline in Q2 2020 was largely driven by (1) negative impacts from COVID-19, particularly in C&W, (2) a net negative foreign exchange (“FX”) impact of $47 million, primarily related to a 20% appreciation of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Chilean peso, and (3) a $14 million reduction, as compared to the prior-year period, from the disposal of C&W's Seychelles business. These declines were partially offset by organic growth in Liberty Puerto Rico.
◦Reported revenue decline in H1 2020 was primarily driven by (1) a net negative FX impact of $94 million, primarily related to a 20% appreciation of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Chilean peso, and (2) negative impacts from COVID-19, particularly in C&W. These declines were partially offset by organic growth in Liberty Puerto Rico.

Q2 2020 Revenue Growth – Segment Highlights
•C&W: Reported and rebased revenue declines of 15% and 12%, respectively. The higher reported decline was driven by inclusion of our now divested C&W Seychelles business in the prior-year period and adverse currency movements.
◦B2B revenue declined 15% on a reported basis and 12% on a rebased basis. The rebased decline was driven by (i) lower revenues from fixed and mobile services due to discounts and credits related to reduced or suspended service across our markets as a result of the COVID-19 lockdowns, (ii) lower revenues from managed services, primarily driven by certain non-recurring projects in Panama that have been put on hold due to the economic uncertainty of the impact of COVID-19, and (iii) a strategic decision to reduce low margin transit revenue. These declines were partly offset by year-over-year growth in our subsea operation. On a sequential basis, subsea revenue declined in part due to$10 million of revenue recognized during Q1 2020 associated with revenue recognized on a cash basis for services provided to a significant customer.
◦Fixed residential revenue was down 3% on a reported basis and relatively flat on a rebased basis. The rebased performance resulted from growth in subscription revenue, driven by organic RGU additions (organic RGUs were 5% higher year-over-year), offset by non-subscription revenue declines in interconnect and other categories.
◦Mobile reported and rebased revenue declines of 25% and 22%, respectively. Subscription revenue was impacted by reduced recharge activity and fewer subscribers during the lockdown periods, particularly in Panama, which is C&W's largest mobile market and also under the most restrictive conditions. Roaming revenue declined by $7 million year-over-year, also contributing to the rebased mobile performance, with the largest impact in the Bahamas.
•VTR/Cabletica: Q2 Reported and rebased revenue declines of 17% and 3%, respectively. The higher reported year-over-year decline was driven by a 20% appreciation of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Chilean peso. The rebased revenue decline was driven by COVID-19 related impacts in VTR, primarily the suspension of the Chilean soccer league which led to $5 million of discounts for customers who had subscribed to the premium channel airing the league's games. Cabletica grew revenue on both a reported and rebased basis driven by subscriber growth over the year.
•Liberty Puerto Rico: Reported and rebased revenue growth of 5% was driven by broadband subscriber additions, reflecting the strength of our networks and entertainment propositions.
Operating Income (Loss)
•Operating income (loss) was ($206 million) and $144 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and ($98 million) and $257 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
◦We reported operating losses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, compared with operating income for the corresponding periods during 2019, primarily due to (i) goodwill impairments recorded during the second quarter of 2020 in certain C&W markets and (ii) lower Adjusted OIBDA, as further discussed below.

•Our reported Adjusted OIBDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 decreased by 14% and 8%, respectively.
◦Reported Adjusted OIBDA decline in Q2 2020 was primarily driven by (1) negative impacts from COVID-19, particularly in C&W and VTR, (2) a net negative FX impact of $18 million, mainly related to the Chilean peso, (3) an $8 million decrease due to the impact of U.S. dollar appreciation against the Chilean peso on VTR's non-functional U.S. dollar costs and (4) a $5 million reduction, as compared to the prior-year period, from the disposal of C&W's Seychelles business. This was partially offset by (1) organic growth in Puerto Rico and (2) lower bonus-related expenses in the current year related to certain amounts that will be settled with shares.
◦Reported Adjusted OIBDA decline in H1 2020 was primarily driven by (1) a net negative FX impact of $35 million, mainly related to the Chilean peso, (2) negative impacts from COVID-19, particularly in C&W, and (3) a $13 million decrease due to the impact of U.S. dollar appreciation against the Chilean peso on VTR's non-functional U.S. dollar costs. This was partially offset by (1) organic growth in Puerto Rico and (2) lower bonus-related expenses in the current year related to certain amounts that will be settled with shares.
Q2 2020 Adjusted OIBDA Growth – Segment Highlights
•C&W: Reported and rebased Adjusted OIBDA declines of 14% and 10%, respectively in Q2. Our rebased performance was driven by the aforementioned rebased revenue decline, partly offset by lower direct and operating costs.
◦Reduced direct costs were due to (i) lower handset sales, as many markets faced lockdown restrictions, (ii) reduced programming expenses driven by improved year-over-year contract rates for the Premier League and reduced games during the period and (iii) lower transit revenue.
◦Other operating costs and expenses were lower year-over-year, primarily due to (i) reduced personnel costs due in part to benefits from ongoing restructuring activities, (ii)
6
a decrease in marketing and sales costs and (iii) lower professional services costs associated with third-party legal and advisory-related services.
•VTR/Cabletica: Reported and rebased Adjusted OIBDA declines of 23% and 10%, respectively. The higher reported year-over-year decline was driven by a 20% appreciation of the U.S. dollar in relation to the Chilean peso. Our Q2 rebased Adjusted OIBDA decline was driven by the aforementioned revenue impacts, certain costs primarily related to COVID-19 and currency movements related to contracts denominated in foreign currencies.
◦Direct costs reduced overall year-over-year due to lower programming costs, including a decrease related to the renegotiation of a programming contract for soccer matches cancelled due to COVID-19 and lower equipment sales due to reduced store activity. These declines were partly offset by the foreign currency impact of programming contracts denominated in U.S. dollars.
◦Other operating costs and expenses increased compared to the prior-year quarter, primarily due to higher network-related and call center costs, as we addressed a significant spike in bandwidth demand in Chile where usage levels increased by approximately 50%. Since the initial peak, we have worked diligently to increase capacity in our network and seen reduced call center volumes and improved network performance, which we expect to drive reduced associated costs through the remainder of 2020.
◦The segment's costs were impacted by an $8 million increase year-over-year due to the impact of U.S. dollar appreciation against the Chilean peso on VTR's non-functional U.S. dollar costs, primarily in programming, which drove an impact of $6 million. Sequentially, the impact of U.S. dollar appreciation against the Chilean peso increased our non-functional currency costs by $3 million.
•Liberty Puerto Rico: Reported and rebased Adjusted OIBDA growth of 2%, driven by the previously mentioned revenue growth, partly offset by additional programming costs and integration expenses ahead of the anticipated acquisition of AT&T's Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands assets.
Net Loss Attributable to Shareholders
•Net loss attributable to shareholders was $393 million and $116 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $574 million and $158 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Segment Highlights
•C&W: Property and equipment additions of $82 million represented 16% of revenue in Q2 2020, an increase compared to 14% of revenue in the prior-year period, and 14% of revenue in H1 2020 compared to 12% in H1 2019. The higher year-over-year spend was driven by restoration activity following Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas and our new build and upgrade programs. Reduced installation and equipment costs drove lower customer premise equipment costs, as compared to the prior-year period.
◦In H1 2020, new build and upgrade initiatives delivered approximately 95,000 new or upgraded homes, including over 50,000 in Q2.
•VTR/Cabletica: Property and equipment additions of $50 million represented 22% of revenue in Q2 2020, a decline compared to 23% of revenue in the prior-year period, and 20% of revenue in H1 2020 compared to 21% in H1 2019. The decrease was primarily driven by lower customer premise equipment costs and reduced new build material and labor costs as lockdown restrictions in Chile impacted our construction activity, year-over-year. This was partly offset by higher capacity spend to address bandwidth demand growth as lockdowns were implemented in Chile.
◦In H1 2020, new build and upgrade initiatives delivered over 40,000 new or upgraded homes in Chile and Costa Rica, including over 10,000 in Q2.
•Liberty Puerto Rico: Property and equipment additions of $20 million represented 18% of revenue in Q2 2020, a decline compared to 19% of revenue in the prior-year period, and 15% of revenue in H1 2020 compared to 19% in H1 2019.
◦In H1 2020, new build initiatives delivered over 10,000 new homes, including over 5,000 in Q2.
Leverage and Liquidity (at June 30, 2020)
•Total principal amount of debt and finance leases: $8,983 million, including (i) debt of $1,343 million borrowed by Liberty Puerto Rico to fund the AT&T Acquisition (with the corresponding cash held in escrow) and (ii) debt of $313 million and $63 million at C&W and Liberty Puerto Rico, respectively, under the respective borrowing group's revolving credit facilities, the proceeds of which are included in cash and cash equivalents in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2020. Subsequent to June 30, 2020, we repaid $213 million and $63 million of borrowings under the revolving credit facilities at C&W and Liberty Puerto Rico, respectively.
•Leverage ratios: Consolidated gross and net leverage ratios are 6.4x and 4.2x, respectively, as calculated on a latest two quarters annualized ("L2QA") basis. Excluding the incremental debt to fund the AT&T Acquisition, our consolidated gross leverage ratio would decline to 5.5x.
•Average debt tenor6: 6.1 years, with approximately 94% not due until 2024 or beyond. Following the VTR refinancing transactions we concluded in July, the average debt tenor increased to 6.7 years.
•Borrowing costs: Blended, fully-swapped borrowing cost of our debt was approximately 6.2%. When excluding the discount on the convertible notes associated with the conversion option, the weighted average interest rate was 5.9%.

Glossary
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 Net Leverage Ratio (VTR) – Defined in accordance with VTR's indenture for its senior notes, taking into account the ratio of its outstanding indebtedness (including the impact of its cross-currency swaps) less its cash and cash equivalents to its annualized EBITDA from the most recent two consecutive fiscal quarters.
Consolidated Net Leverage Ratio (LPR) – Defined in accordance with LPR's Group Credit Agreement, taking into account the ratio of its outstanding indebtedness (excluding any indebtedness collateralized by escrow cash) less its cash and cash equivalents (excluding any escrow cash) to its annualized EBITDA from the most recent two consecutive fiscal quarters.
Customer Relationships – The number of customers who receive at least one of our video, internet or telephony services that we count as RGUs, without regard to which or to how many services they subscribe. To the extent that RGU counts include equivalent billing unit ("EBU") adjustments, we reflect corresponding adjustments to our customer relationship counts. For further information regarding our EBU calculation, see Additional General Notes below. Customer relationships generally are counted on a unique premises basis. Accordingly, if an individual receives our services in two premises (e.g., a primary home and a vacation home), that individual generally will count as two customer relationships. We exclude mobile-only customers from customer relationships.
Fully-swapped Borrowing Cost – Represents the weighted average interest rate on our debt (excluding finance leases and including vendor financing obligations), including the effects of derivative instruments, original issue premiums or discounts, which includes a discount on the convertible notes issued by Liberty Latin America associated with a conversion option feature, and commitment fees, but excluding the impact of financing costs.
Homes Passed – Homes, residential multiple dwelling units or commercial units that can be connected to our networks without materially extending the distribution plant, except for DTH homes. 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. We do not count homes passed for DTH.
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 are defined as total debt (total principal amount of debt and finance lease obligations outstanding, net of projected derivative principal-related cash payments (receipts)) and net debt to annualized Adjusted OIBDA of the latest two quarters. Net debt is defined as total debt (including the convertible notes) less cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash held in escrow at Liberty Puerto Rico that will be used to fund the AT&T Acquisition. For purposes of these calculations, debt is measured using swapped foreign currency rates, consistent with the covenant calculation requirements of our subsidiary debt agreements.
24
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 60 days, based on industry standards within the respective country. In a number of countries, our mobile subscribers receive mobile services pursuant to prepaid contracts.
NPS – Net promoter score.
Adjusted OIBDA Margin – Calculated by dividing Adjusted OIBDA by total revenue for the applicable period.
Property and Equipment Addition Categories
•Customer Premises Equipment: Includes capitalizable equipment and labor, materials and other costs directly associated with the installation of such CPE;
•New Build & Upgrade: Includes capitalizable costs of network equipment, materials, labor and other costs directly associated with entering a new service area and upgrading our existing network;
•Capacity: Includes capitalizable costs for network capacity required for growth and services expansions from both existing and new customers. This category covers Core and Access parts of the network and includes, for example, fiber node splits, upstream/downstream spectrum upgrades and optical equipment additions in our international backbone connections;
•Baseline: Includes capitalizable costs of equipment, materials, labor and other costs directly associated with maintaining and supporting the business. Relates to areas such as network improvement, property and facilities, technical sites, information technology systems and fleet; and
•Product & Enablers: Discretionary capitalizable costs that include investments (i) required to support, maintain, launch or innovate in new customer products, and (ii) in infrastructure, which drive operational efficiency over the long term.
Proportionate Net Leverage Ratio (C&W) – Calculated in accordance with C&W's Credit Agreement, taking into account the ratio of outstanding indebtedness (subject to certain exclusions) less cash and cash equivalents to EBITDA (subject to certain adjustments) for the last two quarters annualized, with both indebtedness and EBITDA reduced proportionately to remove any noncontrolling interests' share of the C&W group.
Revenue Generating Unit (RGU) – RGU is separately a video RGU, internet RGU or telephony RGU. A home, residential multiple dwelling unit, or commercial unit may contain one or more RGUs. For example, if a residential customer in Chile subscribed to our video service, fixed-line telephony service and broadband internet service, the customer would constitute three RGUs. RGUs are generally counted on a unique premises basis such that a given premises does not count as more than one RGU for any given service. On the other hand, if an individual receives one of our services in two premises (e.g., a primary home and a vacation home), that individual will count as two RGUs for that service. Each bundled video, internet or telephony service is counted as a separate RGU regardless of the nature of any bundling discount or promotion. Non-paying subscribers are counted as RGUs during their free promotional service period. Some of these subscribers may choose to disconnect after their free service period. Services offered without charge on a long-term basis (e.g., VIP subscribers or free service to employees) generally are not counted as RGUs. We do not include subscriptions to mobile services in our externally reported RGU counts. In this regard, our RGU counts exclude our separately reported postpaid and prepaid mobile subscribers.
SOHO – Small office/home office customers.
Telephony RGU – A home, residential multiple dwelling unit or commercial unit that receives voice services over our network. Telephony RGUs exclude mobile subscribers.
Two-way Homes Passed – Homes passed by those sections of our networks that are technologically capable of providing two-way services, including video, internet and telephony services.
25
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, data, video or other B2B services. Certain of our B2B service revenue is derived from SOHO customers that pay a premium price to receive enhanced service levels along with video, internet or telephony services that are the same or similar to the mass marketed products offered to our residential subscribers. All mass marketed products provided to SOHO customers, whether or not accompanied by enhanced service levels and/or premium prices, are included in the respective RGU and customer counts of our operations, with only those services provided at premium prices considered to be “SOHO RGUs” or “SOHO customers.” To the extent our existing customers upgrade from a residential product offering to a SOHO product offering, the number of SOHO RGUs and SOHO customers will increase, but there is no impact to our total RGU or customer counts. With the exception of our B2B SOHO customers, we generally do not count customers of B2B services as customers or RGUs for external reporting purposes.
Certain of our residential and commercial RGUs are counted on an EBU basis, including residential multiple dwelling units and commercial establishments, such as bars, hotels, and hospitals, in Chile and Puerto Rico. Our EBUs are generally calculated by dividing the bulk price charged to accounts in an area by the most prevalent price charged to non-bulk residential customers in that market for the comparable tier of service. As such, we may experience variances in our EBU counts solely as a result of changes in rates.
While we take appropriate steps to ensure that subscriber and homes passed statistics are presented on a consistent and accurate basis at any given balance sheet date, the variability from country to country in (i) the nature and pricing of products and services, (ii) the distribution platform, (iii) billing systems, (iv) bad debt collection experience and (v) other factors add complexity to the subscriber and homes passed counting process. We periodically review our subscriber and homes passed counting policies and underlying systems to improve the accuracy and consistency of the data reported on a prospective basis. Accordingly, we may from time to time make appropriate adjustments to our subscriber and homes passed statistics based on those reviews.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations
We include certain financial measures of Liberty Latin America and its reportable segments in this press release that are considered non-GAAP measures, including; (i) Adjusted OIBDA, Adjusted OIBDA Margin and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions; (ii) Adjusted Free Cash Flows; and (iii) rebased revenue and rebased Adjusted OIBDA growth rates. The following sections set forth reconciliations of the nearest GAAP measure to our non-GAAP measures as well as information on how and why management of the Company believes such information is useful to an investor.
Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions
Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions, each a non-GAAP measure, are the primary measures used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate segment operating performance. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions are also key factors that are used by our internal decision makers to (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 or loss before share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, provisions and provision releases related to significant litigation and impairment, restructuring and other operating items. Other operating items include (i) gains and losses on the disposition of long-lived assets, (ii) third-party costs directly associated with successful and unsuccessful acquisitions and dispositions, including legal, advisory and due diligence fees, as applicable, and (iii) other acquisition-related items, such as gains and losses on the settlement of contingent consideration. Our internal decision makers believe Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions are meaningful measures because they represent a transparent view of our recurring operating performance that is unaffected by our capital structure and allows management to (i) readily view operating trends, (ii) perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between segments and (iii) identify strategies to improve operating performance in the different countries in which we operate. We believe our Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions measures are useful to investors because they are one of the bases for comparing our performance with the performance of other companies in the same or similar industries, although our measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other public companies. Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions should be viewed as measures of operating performance that are a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income or loss, net earnings or loss and other U.S. GAAP measures of income. A reconciliation of our operating income (loss) to total Adjusted OIBDA and Adjusted OIBDA less P&E Additions are presented in the following table:

Adjusted Free Cash Flow Definition and Reconciliation
We define Adjusted Free Cash Flows (Adjusted FCF), a non-GAAP measure, as net cash provided by our operating activities, plus (i) cash payments for third-party costs directly associated with successful and unsuccessful acquisitions and dispositions, (ii) expenses financed by an intermediary, (iii) insurance recoveries related to damaged and destroyed property and equipment, and (iv) certain net interest payments (receipts) incurred or received, including associated derivative instrument payments and receipts, in advance of a significant acquisition, less (a) capital expenditures, (b) distributions to noncontrolling interest owners, (c) principal payments on amounts financed by vendors and intermediaries and (d) principal payments on finance leases. As a result of the pending AT&T Acquisition, we have changed the way we define Adjusted FCF effective December 31, 2019 to adjust (i) for pre-acquisition interest incurred on the incremental debt issued in advance of the AT&T Acquisition, (ii) to exclude pre-acquisition interest earned related to the AT&T Acquisition Restricted Cash that will be used to fund a portion of the AT&T Acquisition and (iii) the impact of associated pre-acquisition derivative contracts. As the debt was incurred directly as a result of the pending acquisition and will be supported by cash flows of the acquisition from the date of the closing, we believe this results in the most meaningful presentation of our Adjusted FCF. We believe that our presentation of Adjusted FCF provides useful information to our investors because this measure can be used to gauge our ability to service debt and fund new investment opportunities. Adjusted FCF should not be understood to represent our ability to fund discretionary amounts, as we have various mandatory and contractual obligations, including debt repayments, which are not deducted to arrive at this amount. Investors should view Adjusted FCF as a supplement to, and not a substitute for, U.S. GAAP measures of liquidity included in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
The following table provides the reconciliation of our net cash provided by operating activities to Adjusted FCF for the indicated periods:

1.For purposes of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, expenses, including value-added taxes, financed by an intermediary are treated as hypothetical operating cash outflows and hypothetical financing cash inflows when the expenses are incurred. When we pay the financing intermediary, we record financing cash outflows in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. For purposes of our Adjusted FCF definition, we add back the hypothetical operating cash outflows when these financed expenses are incurred and deduct the financing cash outflows when we pay the financing intermediary.
2.Amount primarily represents interest paid on pre-acquisition debt related to the AT&T Acquisition, net of interest received on the AT&T Acquisition Restricted Cash.

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 2020, we have adjusted our historical revenue and Adjusted OIBDA (i) to include the pre-acquisition revenue and Adjusted OIBDA of UTS that was acquired during 2019 in our rebased amounts for the six months ended June 30, 2019, (ii) to exclude the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA of our Seychelles operations that was disposed of during 2019 from our rebased amounts for three and six months ended June 30, 2019, (iii) to reflect the translation of our rebased amounts for three and six months ended June 30, 2019 at the applicable average foreign currency exchange rates that were used to translate our results for three and six months ended June 30, 2020, and (iv) with respect to each of our reportable segments, to reflect (a) the April 1, 2019 transfer of a small B2B operation in Puerto Rico from our C&W segment to our Liberty Puerto Rico segment, and (b) the January 1, 2020 transfer of our captive insurance operation from our C&W segment to our corporate operations. We have reflected the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA of UTS in our 2019 rebased amounts based on what we believe to be the most reliable information that is currently available to us (generally pre-acquisition financial statements), as adjusted for the estimated effects of (a) any significant differences between U.S. GAAP and local generally accepted accounting principles, (b) any significant effects of acquisition accounting adjustments, (c) any significant differences between our accounting policies and those of the acquired entities and (d) other items we deem appropriate. We do not adjust pre-acquisition periods to eliminate nonrecurring items or to give retroactive effect to any changes in estimates that might be implemented during post-acquisition periods. As we did not own or operate UTS during the pre-acquisition periods, no assurance can be given that we have identified all adjustments necessary to present their revenue and Adjusted OIBDA on a basis that is comparable to the corresponding post-acquisition amounts that are included in our historical results or that the pre-acquisition financial statements we have relied upon do not contain undetected errors. In addition, the rebased growth percentages are not necessarily indicative of the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA that would have occurred if these transactions had occurred on the dates assumed for purposes of calculating our rebased amounts or the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA that will occur in the future. The rebased growth percentages have been presented as a basis for assessing growth rates on a comparable basis and should be viewed as measures of operating performance that are a supplement to, and not a substitute for, U.S. GAAP reported growth rates.
The following tables provide the aforementioned adjustments made to the revenue and Adjusted OIBDA amounts for three and six months ended June 30, 2019 to derive our rebased growth rates. Due to rounding, certain rebased growth rate percentages may not recalculate.

Non-GAAP Reconciliations for Borrowing Groups
We provide certain financial measures in this press release of 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 borrowing group in this press release that are considered non-GAAP measures, including: (i) Adjusted OIBDA; (ii) Adjusted OIBDA Margin; and (iii) Proportionate Adjusted OIBDA.
Adjusted OIBDA by Borrowing Group
Adjusted OIBDA and proportionate Adjusted OIBDA at a borrowing group level are non-GAAP measures. Adjusted OIBDA is defined as operating income or loss before share-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, related-party fees and allocations, provisions and provision releases related to significant litigation and impairment, restructuring and other operating items. Proportionate Adjusted OIBDA is defined as Adjusted OIBDA less the noncontrolling interests' share of Adjusted OIBDA. We believe these measures at the borrowing group level are useful to investors because they are one of the bases for comparing our performance with the performance of other companies in the same or similar industries, although our measures may not be directly comparable to similar measures used by other public companies. These measures should be viewed as measures of operating performance that are a supplement to, and not a substitute for, operating income or loss, net earnings or loss and other U.S. GAAP measures of income.
A reconciliation of C&W's operating income (loss) to total Adjusted OIBDA and Proportionate Adjusted OIBDA is presented in the following table:
