Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation See the Glossary of defined terms at the beginning of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for terms used throughout the consolidated financial statements. General Liberty Latin America Ltd. is a registered company in Bermuda that primarily includes: (i) C&W; (ii) Liberty Communications PR; (iii) VTR; and (iv) LBT CT Communications, S.A. (a less than wholly-owned entity) and its subsidiaries, which include Cabletica and, as of August 9, 2021 and as further described in note 4, Telefónica Costa Rica. C&W owns less than 100% of certain of its consolidated subsidiaries, including C&W Bahamas, C&W Jamaica and CWP. We are an international provider of fixed, mobile and subsea telecommunications services. We provide: A. residential and B2B services in: i. over 20 countries across Latin America and the Caribbean through two of our reportable segments, C&W Caribbean and Networks, and C&W Panama; ii. Puerto Rico, through our reportable segment Liberty Puerto Rico; iii. Chile, through our reportable segment VTR; iv. Costa Rica, through Cabletica and its subsidiary, Telefónica Costa Rica; and B. through the Networks & LatAm business of our C&W Caribbean and Networks segment, (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 approximately 40 markets in that region. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Prior to the first quarter of 2021, VTR and Cabletica were collectively one operating segment. As a result of organizational changes during 2021, these operations became separate operating segments. Following the Telefónica Costa Rica Acquisition on August 9, 2021, as further described in note 4, Cabletica and Telefónica Costa Rica now comprise our Costa Rica operating and reportable segment. For additional information regarding our segments, see note 21. Effective September 29, 2021, in connection with the pending formation of the Chile JV, as further described in note 9, we began accounting for the Chile JV Entities as “held for sale.” Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the Chile JV Entities, excluding certain cash balances, are included in assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale, respectively, on our December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet. Consistent with the applicable guidance, we have not reflected similar reclassifications to exclude the Chile JV Entities from continuing operations in our consolidated statements of operations or cash flows and related footnote disclosures. For additional information, see note 9. Correction of Immaterial Errors During 2021, we identified certain errors in our previously reported consolidated financial statements, primarily related to the understatement of depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, and to a lesser extent, asset impairments. The errors are predominantly related to the understatement of depreciation expense associated with property and equipment that was acquired in connection with business combination transactions at Liberty Puerto Rico that closed during 2012 and 2015. The errors did not have an impact on our revenue, key segment performance measure (Adjusted OIBDA), cash flow from operations or property and equipment additions. We have completed a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the errors and concluded that they are immaterial to the previously issued consolidated financial statements. Notwithstanding this evaluation, we have revised our December 31, 2020 consolidated balance sheet and our consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 for these errors. The tables below set forth the adjustments to the primary consolidated financial statement line items resulting from these adjustments. In addition, we recorded an adjustment to increase our January 1, 2019 accumulated deficit by $82 million, which represents the cumulative correction of the immaterial errors prior to January 1, 2019. Year ended December 31, 2020 Year ended December 31, 2019 As Previously Reported Adjustments As Adjusted As Previously Reported Adjustments As Adjusted in millions Operating income $ 91.7 $ 1.5 $ 93.2 $ 353.8 $ (28.0) $ 325.8 Loss before income taxes $ (838.2) $ 6.5 $ (831.7) $ (280.6) $ (28.0) $ (308.6) Net loss $ (808.9) $ 5.0 $ (803.9) $ (182.4) $ (26.0) $ (208.4) Net loss attributable to LLA shareholders $ (687.2) $ 5.0 $ (682.2) $ (80.1) $ (26.0) $ (106.1) .

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Changes 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 replaced 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 accumulated deficit to align our credit loss methodology with the new standard. The comparative information for 2019 was not restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period. Under the new model, we bifurcate 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 other reasonable expectations of future payment delinquency. The cumulative effect of the changes to our consolidated consolidated statement of equity as of January 1, 2020 was not material. 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.We adopted ASU 2018-14 effective January 1, 2021 and it did not have a material impact on the disclosures in our consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 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 LIBOR . In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) ( ASU 2021-01 ), which clarifies certain optional expedients and exceptions in ASC 848. The expedients and exceptions provided by ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 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. ASU 2020-06 In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity: Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity ( ASU 2020-06 ), which (i) reduces the number of accounting models for convertible instruments and allows more contracts to qualify for equity classification and (ii) makes targeted improvements to convertible instruments and earnings-per-share disclosure requirements. ASU 2020-06 is effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2020-06 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Estimates 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. Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of all voting interest entities where we exercise a controlling financial interest through the ownership of a direct or indirect controlling voting interest and variable interest entities for which our company is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and other investments that are readily convertible into cash and have maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. We record money market funds at the net asset value as there are no restrictions on our ability, contractual or otherwise, to redeem our investments. Restricted cash may consist of cash held in restricted accounts, including cash held as collateral for acquisitions, debt and other compensating balances, as applicable. Cash that is restricted to a specific use is classified as current or long-term based on, among other things, the expected use and timing of disbursement of the restricted cash. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the total of our current and long-term restricted cash balances aggregated $8 million and $18 million, respectively. Our current and long-term restricted cash balances are included in other current assets, net, and other assets, net, respectively in our consolidated balance sheets. Receivables We have trade and notes receivables that are each reported net of an allowance for expected credit losses. Our notes receivable consist of EIP receivables due from customers under contracts that range between a period of 12 to 30 months, depending on the market. The long-term portion of our notes receivable, net of allowances for expected credit losses, is included in other assets, net, in our consolidated balance sheets. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade and notes receivables is limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across many different countries, with the exception of $85 million and $72 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, due from a single government. The allowances on each of our trade and notes receivables are 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 amounts due from certain governments. The changes in our allowance for expected credit losses associated with trade receivables are set forth below: Year ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 in millions Beginning balance $ 100.0 $ 87.3 $ 144.4 Provision for expected losses 60.6 62.6 61.8 Write-offs (59.5) (60.3) (113.9) Reclassification to assets held for sale (10.0) — — Foreign currency translation adjustments and other (10.8) 10.4 (5.0) Ending balance $ 80.3 $ 100.0 $ 87.3 The changes in our allowance for expected credit losses associated with our current and long-term notes receivable are set forth below: Year ended December 31, 2021 2020 in millions Beginning balance $ 16.2 $ — Provision for expected losses 10.8 1.3 Additions upon acquisition 5.4 14.9 Foreign currency translation adjustments and other (0.1) — Ending balance $ 32.3 $ 16.2 Investments From time to time, we may hold investments in (i) equity method investments; (ii) cost method investments, and (iii) available-for-sale method investments. We apply the equity method to investments when we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. Under the equity method, investments are originally recorded at cost and are adjusted to recognize our share of net earnings or losses of the affiliates as they occur. Our share of the investee’s net earnings or losses is included in other income (expense), net, in our consolidated statements of operations. We are required to hold security against the value of certain pension liabilities in the U.K.. The security is in the form of U.K. Government Gilts, which we account for using the available-for-sale method. Available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value with changes reflected in other comprehensive income or loss until sold or other-than-temporarily impaired, at which time the amounts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income or loss into non-operating income or expense in our consolidated statements of operations. Our investment in U.K. Government Gilts falls under Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying value of our investment in U.K. Government Gilts was $39 million and $38 million, respectively, which is included in other assets, net, in our consolidated balance sheets. We hold an equity security for which the fair value is not readily determinable. Accordingly, we measure this investment at cost minus impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes. We continually review our equity method investments, available-for-sale debt securities and cost-basis investments to determine whether a decline in fair value below the cost basis is other-than-temporary. If it has been determined that an investment has sustained an other-than-temporary decline in value, we estimate the fair value and record an impairment charge if the carrying value of the investment exceeds its estimated fair value. Any impairment charges are recorded in other income (expense), net, in our consolidated statements of operations. For additional information regarding our fair value measurements, see note 6. Financial Instruments Due to the short maturities of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, notes receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other accrued and current liabilities, their respective carrying values approximate their respective fair values. For information concerning the fair values of our derivative and debt instruments, see notes 5 and 10, respectively. For information regarding how we arrive at certain of our fair value measurements, see note 6. Derivative Instruments Derivative Instruments Recorded at Fair Value Our derivative instruments, excluding our Weather Derivatives, as discussed below, are recorded in our consolidated balance sheets at fair value, whether designated as a hedge or not. If the derivative instrument is not designated as a hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized in earnings. If the derivative instrument is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recorded in other comprehensive earnings or loss and subsequently reclassified into our consolidated statements of operations when the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments in our consolidated statements of operations. With the exception of certain foreign currency forward contracts, we do not apply hedge accounting to our derivative instruments. The net cash received or paid related to our derivative instruments is classified as an operating, investing or financing activity in our consolidated statements of cash flows based on the objective of the derivative instrument and the classification of the applicable underlying cash flows, as follows: • Cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts: the net cash paid or received related to principal and current interest is classified as a financing or operating activity, respectively. • Foreign currency forward contracts that are used to hedge capital expenditures: the net cash paid or received is reflected in capital expenditures, which are classified as an investing activity. • Foreign currency forward contracts that are used to hedge principal exposure on foreign currencies: the net cash paid or received is classified as a financing activity. • Derivative contracts that are terminated prior to maturity: the cash paid or received upon termination that relates to future periods is classified as a financing activity. Weather Derivatives Our Weather Derivatives provide us with insurance coverage for certain weather-related events and are not accounted for at fair value. The premiums paid associated with the Weather Derivatives are recorded in other current assets, net, in our consolidated balance sheets, and the amortization of the premiums is included in realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments, net, in our consolidated statements of operations. The cash paid associated with the premiums is classified as an operating activity in our consolidated statements of cash flows. In the event of a payout under our Weather Derivatives, the cash received would be classified as an operating activity in our consolidated statements of cash flows. For information regarding our derivative instruments, see note 5. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. We capitalize costs associated with the construction of new cable and mobile transmission and distribution facilities and the installation of new cable services. The nature and amount of labor and other costs to be capitalized with respect to construction and installation activities involves judgment. In addition to direct external and internal labor and materials, we also capitalize other costs directly attributable to our construction and installation activities, including dispatch costs, quality-control costs, vehicle-related costs and certain warehouse-related costs. The capitalization of these costs is based on time sheets, time studies, standard costs, call tracking systems and other verifiable means that directly link the costs incurred with the applicable capitalizable activity. We continuously monitor the appropriateness of our capitalization policies and update the policies when necessary to respond to changes in facts and circumstances, such as the development of new products and services and changes in the manner that installations or construction activities are performed. Installation activities that are capitalized include (i) the initial connection (or drop) from our cable system to a customer location, (ii) the replacement of a drop and (iii) the installation of equipment for additional services, such as digital cable, telephone or broadband internet service. The costs of other customer-facing activities, such as reconnecting and disconnecting customer locations and repairing or maintaining drops, are expensed as incurred. We capitalize internal and external costs directly associated with the development of internal-use software. Capitalized internal-use software is included as a component of property and equipment. We also capitalize costs associated with the purchase of software licenses. Costs associated with software obtained in a hosting arrangement are expensed over the life of the service contract, unless we have the right to take possession of the software at any time without significant penalty and it is feasible to run the software on our own hardware or contract with another party unrelated to the vendor to host the software. Maintenance and training costs, as well as costs incurred during the preliminary stage of an internal-use software development project, are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the underlying asset. Equipment under finance leases is amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset and is included in depreciation and amortization in our consolidated statements of operations. Useful lives used to depreciate our property and equipment are assessed periodically and are adjusted when warranted. The useful lives of cable and mobile distribution systems that are undergoing a rebuild are adjusted such that property and equipment to be retired will be fully depreciated by the time the rebuild is completed. For additional information regarding the useful lives of our property and equipment, see note 8. Additions, replacements and improvements that extend the asset life are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. We recognize a liability for asset retirement obligations in the period in which it is incurred if sufficient information is available to make a reasonable estimate of fair values. Asset retirement obligations primarily relate to assets placed on leased wireless towers and other premises. Asset retirement obligations of $46 million and $41 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, are included in other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. Intangible Assets Our primary intangible assets relate to goodwill, customer relationships, spectrum licenses and cable television franchise rights. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Customer relationships, spectrum licenses and cable television franchise rights that are acquired in connection with a business combination are initially recorded at their fair values. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment. We do not amortize our cable television franchise rights or spectrum licenses that have indefinite lives. Spectrum licenses provide us with the exclusive right to utilize a certain radio frequency spectrum to provide wireless communications services. While spectrum licenses are issued for only a fixed time (generally, 10 years), renewals of spectrum licenses occur routinely and at nominal cost. Moreover, we believe there are currently no significant legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors limiting the useful lives of most of our spectrum licenses, and therefore we generally treat these spectrum licenses as indefinite-lived intangible assets. We believe we will be able to meet all requirements necessary to secure renewal of such spectrum licenses. For additional information regarding the useful lives of our intangible assets, see note 8. Impairment of Property and Equipment and Intangible Assets When circumstances warrant, we review the carrying amounts of our property and equipment and our intangible assets (other than goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets) to determine whether such carrying amounts continue to be recoverable. Such changes in circumstance may include (i) the impact of natural disasters, such as hurricanes, (ii) an expectation of a sale or disposal of a long-lived asset or asset group, (iii) adverse changes in market or competitive conditions, (iv) an adverse change in legal factors or business climate in the markets in which we operate and (v) operating or cash flow losses. For purposes of impairment testing, long-lived assets are grouped at the lowest level for which cash flows are largely independent of other assets and liabilities, generally at or below the reporting unit level (see below). If the carrying amount of the asset or asset group is greater than the expected undiscounted cash flows to be generated by such asset or asset group, an impairment adjustment is recognized. Such adjustment is measured by the amount that the carrying value of such asset or asset group exceeds its fair value. We generally measure fair value by considering (i) sale prices for similar assets, (ii) discounted estimated future cash flows using an appropriate discount rate and/or (iii) estimated replacement cost. Assets to be disposed of are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. We evaluate goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually on October 1 and whenever facts and circumstances indicate that the fair value of a reporting unit or an indefinite-lived intangible asset may be less than its carrying value. For impairment evaluations with respect to both goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangibles, we first make a qualitative assessment to determine if the goodwill or other indefinite-lived intangible may be impaired. In the case of goodwill, if it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, we then compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its respective carrying amount. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. Goodwill impairment is recorded as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value and is charged to operations as an impairment loss. With respect to other indefinite-lived intangible assets, if it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value, we then estimate its fair value and any excess of the carrying value over the fair value is also charged to operations as an impairment loss. For additional information regarding the fair value measurements of our property and equipment and intangible assets, see note 6. For additional information regarding impairments, see note 8. Contract Assets When we transfer goods or services to a customer but do not have an unconditional right to payment, we record a contract asset. Contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables, net, in our consolidated balance sheet at the point in time we have the unconditional right to payment. Our aggregate contract assets were $142 million and $82 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The current and long-term portion of contract assets are included in other current assets, net, and other assets, net, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets. Deferred Contract Costs Incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer, such as incremental sales commissions, are recognized as an asset and amortized to other operating costs and expenses over the applicable period benefited, which is the longer of the contract life or the economic life of the commission. If, however, the amortization period is one year or less, we expense such costs in the period incurred. Costs to obtain a contract that would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained are recognized as an expense when incurred. Our aggregate deferred contract costs were $39 million and $15 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The current and long-term portion of deferred contract costs are included in other current assets, net, and other assets, net, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets. Deferred Revenue We record deferred revenue when we have received payment prior to transferring goods or services to a customer. Deferred revenue primarily relates to (i) advanced payments on fixed subscription services, mobile airtime services and long-term capacity contracts and (ii) deferred installation and other upfront fees. Our aggregate current and long-term deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $301 million and $380 million, respectively. The decrease in our current and long-term deferred revenue balances during 2021, primarily relates to amortization of long-term capacity contracts and the reclassification of amounts related to the Chile JV into liabilities associated with assets held for sale, which were partially offset by new contracts entered into during the year. Operating Leases Our operating leases primarily consist of (i) property leases for mobile tower locations that generally have initial terms of five We classify leases with a term of greater than 12 months where substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership are retained by the third-party lessors as operating leases. We record a right-of-use asset and an operating lease liability at inception of the lease at the present value of the lease payments plus certain other payments, including variable lease payments and amounts probable of being owed by us under residual value guarantees. Payments made under operating leases, net of any incentives received from the lessors, are recognized to expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging operating leases are recognized to expense when incurred. Contingent rental payments are recognized to expense when incurred. Our right-of-use assets and non-current operating lease liabilities are included in other assets, net other long-term liabilities We use a credit-adjusted discount rate to measure our operating lease liabilities. We derive the discount rates associated with each of our borrowing groups starting with a risk free rate, generally the U.S. Treasury Bill rate. To determine credit risk, we create an industry benchmark CDS curve from an observable high-yield debt index using comparable telecommunication companies as a proxy. We then determine the maximum curve shift against this CDS curve derived from our own tradable debt within each borrowing group, and make adjustments to correct for the collateralized interest rate spread by comparing unsecured debt to asset-backed securities (secured debt) trades, which is based on the spread between the BB- and B+ industrial curves. We determine the discount factor from this adjusted curve for each borrowing group. Income Taxes The income taxes of Liberty Latin America are presented on a standalone basis, and each tax paying entity or group within Liberty Latin America is presented on a separate return basis. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, using enacted tax rates in effect for each taxing jurisdiction in which we operate for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more-likely-than-not, based on technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Net deferred tax assets are then reduced by a valuation allowance if we believe it is more-likely-than-not that such net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Certain of our valuation allowances and tax uncertainties are associated with entities that we acquired in business combinations. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax liabilities related to investments in foreign entities and foreign corporate joint ventures that are essentially permanent in duration are not recognized until it becomes apparent that such amounts will reverse in the foreseeable future. In order to be considered essentially permanent in duration, sufficient evidence must indicate that the foreign entity has invested or will invest its undistributed earnings indefinitely, or that earnings will be remitted in a tax-free liquidation. Interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities are included in income tax benefit or expense in our consolidated statements of operations. For additional information regarding our income taxes, see note 15. Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions The reporting currency of Liberty Latin America is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our foreign operations is the applicable local currency for each foreign entity. Assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries (including intercompany balances for which settlement is not anticipated in the foreseeable future) are translated at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date. With the exception of certain material transactions, the amounts reported in our consolidated statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the applicable period. The resulting unrealized cumulative translation adjustment, net of applicable income taxes, is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings or loss in our consolidated statements of equity. With the exception of certain material transactions, the cash flows from our operations in foreign countries are translated at the average rate for the applicable period in our consolidated statements of cash flows. The impacts of material transactions generally are recorded at the applicable spot rates in our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. The effect of exchange rates on cash balances held in foreign currencies are separately reported in our consolidated statements of cash flows. Transactions denominated in currencies other than our or our subsidiaries’ functional currencies are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Changes in exchange rates with respect to amounts recorded in our consolidated balance sheets related to these non-functional currency transactions result in transaction gains and losses that are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations as unrealized (based on the applicable period end exchange rates) or realized upon settlement of the transactions. Revenue Recognition We categorize revenue into two major categories: (i) residential revenue, which includes revenue from fixed and mobile services provided to residential customers, and (ii) B2B revenue, which includes B2B service and subsea network revenue. For additional information regarding our revenue by major category, see note 21. Our revenue recognition policies are as follows. General . Most of our fixed and mobile residential contracts are not enforceable or do not contain substantive early termination penalties. Accordingly, revenue relating to these customers is recognized on a basis consistent with customers that are not subject to contracts. We account for customer service revenue contracts that include both non-lease and lease components as a single component in all instances where the non-lease component is the predominant component of the arrangement and the other applicable criteria are met. Residential Fixed and B2B Service Revenue – Fixed Networks . We recognize revenue from video, broadband internet and fixed-line telephony services over our fixed networks to customers in the period the related residential fixed or B2B services are provided. Installation or other upfront fees related to services provided over our fixed networks are generally deferred and recognized as subscription revenue over the contractual period, or longer if the upfront fee results in a material renewal right. We defer upfront installation and certain nonrecurring fees received on B2B contracts where we maintain ownership of the installed equipment. The deferred fees are amortized into revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the arrangement or the expected period of performance. We may also sell video, broadband internet and fixed-line telephony services to our customers in bundled packages at a rate lower than if the customer purchased each product on a standalone basis. Arrangement consideration from bundled packages generally is allocated proportionally to the individual service based on the relative standalone price for each respective product or service. Mobile Revenue – General. Consideration from mobile contracts is allocated to airtime services and handset sales based on the relative standalone prices of each performance obligation. Mobile Revenue – Airtime Services. We recognize revenue from mobile services in the period the related services are provided. Payments received from prepay customers are recorded as deferred revenue prior to the commencement of services and are recognized as revenue as the services are rendered or usage rights expire. Mobile Revenue – Handset Revenue. Arrangement consideration allocated to handsets is recognized as revenue when the goods have been transferred to the customer. Mobile Revenue – Handset Insurance Revenue. We recognize revenue associated with handset insurance on a straight-line basis over the coverage period. B2B Subsea Network Revenue – Long-term Capacity Contracts. 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 December 31, 2021, we have approximately $360 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 six years. Government Funding Revenue. From time to time, we receive funds from the FCC, primarily in Puerto Rico, where funds were established in an effort to restore, expand and upgrade fixed and mobile networks in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We recognize funds granted from the FCC as other revenue in the period in which we are entitled to receive the funds, as the FCC does not meet the definition of a “customer.” Sales, Use and Other VAT . Revenue is recorded net of applicable sales, use and other value-added taxes. Share-based Compensation We recognize compensation expense associated with share-based incentive awards based on their grant-date fair values. The grant-date fair values for SARs and PSARs are estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model, and the grant-date fair values for RSUs and PSUs are based upon the closing market price of our stock on the date of grant. We may also settle annual bonus-related obligations in the form of equity. We use the liability-based method of accounting in such situations, as the equity to be issued is variable. We use the legal life of the award for the expected life of SARs granted to executives. For SARs granted to non-executives, the expected life is calculated using the “simplified method.” We believe the simplified method is appropriate for these awards as we do not have historical exercise data for periods prior to the Split-Off. The expected volatility of SARs is based on a weighted average calculation that may include (i) data from a comparable group of peer companies, (ii) Liberty Latin America’s share trading history and/or (iii) the implied volatility from traded LILA and LILAK options. We recognize the grant-date fair value of outstanding awards as a charge to operations over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, and account for forfeitures as they occur. We use the straight-line method to recog

Acquisitions and Disposition

Acquisitions and Disposition	12 Months Ended

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Acquisitions and Disposition	Acquisitions and Disposition Pending Acquisitions Claro Panama Acquisition. On September 14, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire América Móvil’s operations in Panama in an all-cash transaction based upon an enterprise value of $200 million on a cash- and debt-free basis. The transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the first half of 2022. 2021 Acquisitions Telefónica Costa Rica Acquisition. On July 30, 2020, we entered into the Telefónica Acquisition Agreement to acquire Telefónica S.A.’s operations in Costa Rica in an all-cash transaction based upon an enterprise value of $500 million on a cash- and debt-free basis. On August 9, 2021, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of Telefónica Costa Rica. The Telefónica Costa Rica Acquisition was financed through a combination of debt, existing cash and a $47 million equity contribution from the noncontrolling interest owner of our Cabletica entity, as further described in note 19. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the stated purchase price included in the Telefónica Acquisition Agreement to the net cash paid for the Telefónica Costa Rica Acquisition (in millions): Stated Telefónica Acquisition Agreement purchase price $ 500.0 Preliminary working capital adjustments 37.6 Total purchase price 537.6 Opening balance sheet cash (17.0) Net cash paid for the Telefónica Costa Rica Acquisition $ 520.6 We have accounted for the Telefónica Costa Rica 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 Telefónica Costa Rica 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. The preliminary opening balance sheet is subject to adjustment based on our final assessment of the fair values of the acquired identifiable net assets and liabilities. The items with the highest likelihood to change upon finalization of the valuation process include property and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets, leases and income taxes. A summary of the purchase price and preliminary opening balance sheet of Telefónica Costa Rica at the August 9, 2021 acquisition date are presented in the following table (in millions): Current assets (a) $ 74.7 Goodwill (b) 262.0 Property and equipment 142.2 Intangible assets subject to amortization (c) 131.9 Other assets (d) 178.6 Current liabilities (e) (88.6) Long-term liabilities (f) (163.2) Total purchase price (g) $ 537.6 (a) Primarily consists of trade receivables, notes receivables related to EIP receivables, and cash. (b) The goodwill recognized in connection with the Telefónica Costa Rica Acquisition is primarily attributable to (i) the ability to take advantage of Telefónica Costa Rica’s existing mobile network to gain immediate access to potential customers, and (ii) synergies that are expected to be achieved through the integration of Telefónica Costa Rica with Liberty Latin America’s existing business in Costa Rica, Cabletica. Due to the nature of the Telefónica Costa Rica Acquisition, no tax deductions related to goodwill are expected. (c) At August 9, 2021, the preliminary assessments of the weighted average useful lives of the acquired customer relationship intangible assets and spectrum intangible assets were approximately 7 years and 25 years, respectively. (d) Long-term assets primarily consist of the long-term portion of note receivables related to equipment installment-plan receivables and operating lease right-of-use assets. (e) Primarily consist of accounts payable and current operating lease obligations. (f) Primarily consist of the non-current portion of operating lease obligations and deferred tax liabilities. (g) Amount excludes $9 million of direct acquisition costs incurred during 2021. Direct acquisition costs are included in impairment, restructuring and other operating items, net, in our consolidated statement of operations. Our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 includes revenue and net earnings of $112 million and $5 million, respectively, attributable to Telefónica Costa Rica. Broadband VI, LLC Acquisition. Effective December 31, 2021, we acquired 96% of the outstanding shares of Broadband VI, LLC for $33 million, the payment of which occurred in January 2022, subject to certain post-closing adjustments. Broadband VI, LLC provides fixed services to residential and business customers in the U.S. Virgin Islands and will be included in our Liberty Puerto Rico reportable segment. 2020 Acquisition AT&T Acquisition. On October 31, 2020, we acquired from AT&T all of the outstanding shares of the AT&T Acquired Entities, which following the closing of the AT&T Acquisition are referred to as Liberty Mobile and its subsidiaries. The operations acquired in the AT&T Acquisition provide consumer mobile and B2B services in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. As a condition of approval of the AT&T Acquisition, the United States Department of Justice required us to divest certain B2B operations that were a part of our then-existing operations in Puerto Rico. We satisfied this condition in January 2021 by divesting those B2B operations for a stated sales price of $22 million. In connection with this divestiture, we recognized a gain on sale of $9 million, which is included in impairment, restructuring and other operating items, net, in our consolidated statement of operations. We have reflected the assets and liabilities associated with this B2B operation as held for sale on our December 31, 2020 consolidated balance sheet. AT&T is providing ongoing support to the AT&T Acquired Entities under the AT&T TSA for a period up to 36 months following the closing of the AT&T Acquisition. Services under the AT&T TSA include, but are not limited to, (i) network operations, (ii) customer service, (iii) finance and accounting, (iv) information technology, (v) sales and marketing and (vi) content-related services. 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. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the stated purchase price included in the Acquisition Agreement to the “Accounting Purchase Price” (in millions): Stated Acquisition Agreement purchase price $ 1,950.0 Less: Purchase price allocated to purchase of prepaid roaming services (a) (73.3) Working capital and other purchase price adjustments: Closing adjustments (b) (51.7) Additional working capital consideration (c) 61.0 Net cash paid for the AT&T Acquisition (d) 1,886.0 Contingent purchase price consideration (e) 46.4 Accounting Purchase Price $ 1,932.4 (a) Represents the portion of the stated Acquisition Agreement purchase price that has been allocated to the purchase of prepaid roaming services. In connection with the Acquisition Agreement, AT&T agreed to give us a $75 million credit against certain roaming services that AT&T provides to the AT&T Acquired Entities for a seven-year period following the closing of the AT&T Acquisition. If the credits are not used for roaming services in that time period, any remaining credit may be used to acquire certain other services from AT&T thereafter. For accounting purposes, we have bifurcated the discounted value of these services from the stated purchase consideration and reflected the amount allocated to the purchase of prepaid roaming, $73 million, in net cash provided by operating activities in our consolidated statement of cash flows. (b) Represents closing adjustments to the purchase price pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement for (i) closing working capital balances, (ii) outstanding indebtedness and (iii) shortfalls in equipment subsidies made by AT&T prior to the closing of the AT&T Acquisition. (c) Represents cash paid subsequent to the closing of the AT&T Acquisition related to certain liabilities of the AT&T Acquired Entities that were not assumed by us under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement. (d) The net cash paid for the AT&T Acquisition is comprised of (i) the AT&T Acquisition Restricted Cash, as described in note 10, which comprised $1,353 million and was released upon consummation of the AT&T Acquisition, and (ii) $533 million of cash and cash equivalents from available liquidity. (e) Prior to the closing of the AT&T Acquisition, AT&T made prepayments to the tax authorities of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We expect that we will utilize these prepayments, which are reflected in income tax receivable on the consolidated balance sheet, against our future income tax liabilities. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, if we utilize such prepayments to reduce our future income tax liabilities, we are required to pay AT&T additional purchase consideration. We have accounted for the AT&T 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 the AT&T Acquired Entities based on assessments of their respective fair values, and the excess of the total purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable net assets was allocated to goodwill. A summary of the purchase price and the opening balance sheet of the AT&T Acquired Entities at the October 31, 2020 acquisition date is presented in the following table. The opening balance sheet presented below reflects our final purchase price allocation (in millions): Current assets (a) (b) $ 155.6 Goodwill (c) 196.9 Property and equipment 768.6 Intangible assets subject to amortization (d) 85.6 Intangible assets not subject to amortization (e) 1,043.0 Other assets (b) (g) 272.8 Current liabilities (f) (g) (67.9) Long-term debt and finance lease obligations (10.6) Non-current deferred tax liabilities (344.3) Other long-term liabilities (g) (167.3) Total purchase price (h) $ 1,932.4 (a) Current assets consists of trade receivables, prepaid expenses and other current assets. (b) Current assets and other assets include $67 million and $39 million, respectively, in EIP receivables. (c) The goodwill recognized in connection with the AT&T Acquisition is primarily attributable to (i) the ability to take advantage of the AT&T Acquired Entities’ existing mobile network to gain immediate access to potential customers and (ii) synergies that are expected to be achieved through the integration of the AT&T Acquired Entities with Liberty Latin America. Due to the nature of the AT&T Acquisition, no tax deductions related to goodwill have been taken. (d) Amount includes intangible assets related to customer relationships. At October 31, 2020, the weighted average useful life of the acquired customer relationship intangible assets was approximately 10 years. (e) Amount represents the estimated fair value of spectrum licenses. (f) Current liabilities include accounts payable, current portion of debt and finance lease obligations and other accrued and current liabilities. (g) Other assets, current liabilities and other long-term liabilities include $182 million, $33 million and $163 million related to operating lease right-of-use assets, current operating lease obligations and non-current operating lease obligations, respectively. (h) Amount excludes $51 million and $5 million of direct acquisition costs, incurred during 2020 and 2019, respectively. Supplemental Pro Forma Information The pro forma financial information set forth in the tables below is based on available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable. The pro forma financial information is for illustrative and informational purposes only and is not intended to represent or be indicative of what our results of operations would have been had these acquisitions occurred on the date indicated nor should it be considered representative of our future financial condition or results of operations. The pro forma information set forth in the tables below include, as applicable, tax-effected pro forma adjustments primarily related to: i. the impact of estimated costs associated with the AT&T TSA that replaced parent-company allocations included in the historical financial statements of the AT&T Acquired Entities; ii. the impact of estimated revenue and costs associated with the transition services agreement entered into in connection with the Telefónica Costa Rica Acquisition; iii. the impact of new rate agreements associated with roaming, subsea and ethernet services stemming from the AT&T Acquisition; iv. the alignment of accounting policies; v. interest expense related to additional borrowings in conjunction with the AT&T Acquisition and the Telefónica Costa Rica Acquisition; vi. depreciation expense related to acquired tangible assets; vii. amortization expense related to acquired intangible assets; and viii. the elimination of direct acquisition costs. The following unaudited pro forma consolidated operating results give effect to the Telefónica Costa Rica Acquisition, as if it had been completed as of January 1, 2020: Year ended December 31, 2021 in millions Revenue $ 4,964.9 Net loss attributable to Liberty Latin America shareholders $ (429.1) The following unaudited pro forma consolidated operating results give effect to (i) the Telefónica Costa Rica Acquisition, as if it had been completed as of January 1, 2020, and (ii) the AT&T Acquisition, as if it had been completed as of January 1, 2019: Year ended December 31, 2020 in millions Revenue $ 4,771.6 Net loss attributable to Liberty Latin America shareholders $ (556.9) 2019 Acquisition UTS. Effective March 31, 2019, we completed the acquisition of an 87.5% interest in 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. As noted below, during the first quarter of 2020, the purchase price was reduced by $6 million due 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. 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) $ 155.9 (a) The goodwill recognized in connection with the UTS Acquisition is primarily attributable to the ability to take advantage of UTS’s existing broadband communications and mobile networks to gain immediate access to potential customers. (b) Amount represents the aggregate fair value of the noncontrolling interest in UTS as of March 31, 2019. (c) Excludes $3 million of direct acquisition costs, including $1 million incurred prior to 2019. Supplemental pro forma information related to the UTS Acquisition has not been included as it would not have had a significant impact on our results of operations during 2019. 2019 Disposition During the fourth quarter of 2019, we disposed of our operations in the Seychelles receiving $78 million in net cash flows that has been reflected in investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments	Derivative InstrumentsIn 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 CLP, the COP and the CRC. 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 consolidated statements of operations. The following table provides details of the fair values of our derivative instrument assets and liabilities: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Current (a)(b) Long-term (a)(b) Total Current (a) Long-term (a) Total in millions Assets: Cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts (c) $ 15.1 $ 25.3 $ 40.4 $ 0.7 $ 4.4 $ 5.1 Foreign currency forward contracts 0.1 — 0.1 — — — Total $ 15.2 $ 25.3 $ 40.5 $ 0.7 $ 4.4 $ 5.1 Liabilities: Cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts (c) $ 33.3 $ 62.1 $ 95.4 $ 71.4 $ 403.0 $ 474.4 Foreign currency forward contracts 5.8 — 5.8 18.8 — 18.8 Total $ 39.1 $ 62.1 $ 101.2 $ 90.2 $ 403.0 $ 493.2 (a) Our current derivative assets, long-term derivative assets and long-term derivative liabilities are included in other current assets, net, other assets, net, and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets. (b) In connection with the pending formation of the Chile JV, the derivative assets and liabilities associated with the Chile JV Entities have been included in assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale, respectively, on our December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet. For information regarding the pending formation of the Chile JV and the held for sale presentation of the Chile JV Entities, see note 9. (c) 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 10) and are recorded in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net, in our 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 they are not accounted for at fair value. The details of our realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net, are as follows: Year ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 in millions Cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts (a) (b) $ 565.4 $ (328.6) $ (21.0) Foreign currency forward contracts 25.8 (7.8) 9.4 Weather Derivatives (27.1) (16.3) (5.6) Total $ 564.1 $ (352.7) $ (17.2) (a) Changes in the credit risk valuation adjustments associated with our cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts resulted in net gains (losses) of ($41 million), $47 million and $4 million during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Included in the 2021 credit risk valuation adjustment is a net loss of $30 million related to the Chile JV Entities. The gain during the 2020 period is primarily due to increased credit risk stemming from market reaction to the COVID-19 outbreak, as further described and defined in note 8. These amounts are included in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net, in our consolidated statements of operations. (b) The losses for 2020 include a realized gain of $71 million associated with the settlement of certain cross-currency swaps at VTR in June 2020 that were unwound in connection with the July 2020 refinancing of certain VTR debt. For additional information regarding the refinancing, see note 10. The following table sets forth the classification of the net cash inflows (outflows) of our derivative instruments: Year ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 in millions Operating activities $ (94.5) $ (50.1) $ 11.2 Investing activities (1.2) 7.4 6.5 Financing activities (a) (43.0) 182.5 (0.3) Total $ (138.7) $ 139.8 $ 17.4 (a) The 2021 amount is primarily related to (i) $11 million associated with the settlement of interest rate swaps at VTR in connection with the refinancing of the VTR Credit Facilities and (ii) $32 million associated with the settlement of interest rate swaps at Liberty Puerto Rico in connection with the refinancing of the LPR Credit Facilities. The 2020 amount is primarily related to the settlement of certain cross-currency interest rate swaps at VTR. For additional information regarding our debt refinancing activity, see note 10. 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 December 31, 2021, our exposure to counterparty credit risk resulting from our net derivative position was not material. 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. At December 31, 2021, our C&W borrowing group had a cross-currency swap contract with notional amounts due from and to counterparties of $56 million and COP 197,014 million, respectively, with a remaining contractual life of 4.6 years. 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 December 31, 2021: Borrowing group Notional amount due from counterparty Weighted average remaining life in millions in years C&W (a) $ 3,115.0 6.0 Liberty Puerto Rico $ 500.0 10.0 Costa Rica (b) $ 276.7 2.0 (a) Includes forward-starting derivative instruments and, on certain interest rate swaps, an embedded floor of 0%. (b) Includes an embedded floor of 0.75%. 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 December 31, 2021: Borrowing group Notional amount due from counterparty Weighted average remaining life in millions in years C&W (a) $ 2,100.0 1.5 Liberty Puerto Rico (a) $ 620.0 1.5 (a) Includes forward-starting derivative instruments. Foreign Currency Forwards Contracts We enter into foreign currency forward contracts with respect to non-functional currency exposure. 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 foreign currency forwards contracts at December 31, 2021: Notional amount due from counterparty Notional amount due Weighted average remaining life in millions in years LLA UK Holding Limited (a) CLP 73,000.0 $ 88.1 0.7 Costa Rica borrowing group $ 14.0 CRC 8,953.1 0.1 (a) Foreign currency forward contract entered into in connection with the Chile JV transaction, as discussed further in note 9. Interest Rate Floors Interest rate floors provide protection against interest rates falling below a pre-set level. During 2021, we entered into interest rate floors, which include forward starting derivative instruments, at Liberty Puerto Rico related to certain financing activity associated with the LPR Credit Facilities, as described in note 10. At December 31, 2021, the total notional amount of our interest rate floors was $620 million with a weighted average remaining contractual life of 6.8 years. Interest Rate Caps Interest rate caps provide protection against interest rates rising above a pre-set level. During 2021, we entered into interest rate caps, which include forward starting derivative instruments, at Liberty Puerto Rico associated with the 2028 LPR Term Loan add-on financing, as described in note 10. At December 31, 2021, the total notional amount of our interest rate caps was $120 million with a remaining contractual life of 6.8 years.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	12 Months Ended

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 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. All of our Level 2 inputs (interest rate futures, swap rates and certain of the inputs for our weighted average cost of capital calculations) and certain of our Level 3 inputs (non-interest rate curves and credit spreads) are obtained from pricing services. These inputs, or interpolations or extrapolations thereof, are used in our internal models to calculate, among other items, yield curves, forward interest and currency rates and weighted average cost of capital rates. In the normal course of business, we receive market value assessments from the counterparties to our derivative contracts. Although we compare these assessments to our internal valuations and investigate unexpected differences, we do not otherwise rely on counterparty quotes to determine the fair values of our derivative instruments. The midpoints of applicable bid and ask ranges generally are used as inputs for our internal valuations. 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. As we would not expect changes in our or our counterparties’ credit spreads to have a significant impact on the valuations of these instruments, we have determined that these valuations fall under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Our credit risk valuation adjustments with respect to our interest rate and cross-currency derivative contracts are quantified and further explained in note 5. Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements Fair value measurements are also used for purposes of nonrecurring valuations performed in connection with our Convertible Notes, acquisition accounting and impairment assessments. Conversion Option – Convertible Notes As further described and defined in note 10, our Convertible Notes include a Conversion Option that we bifurcated from the Convertible Notes and recorded at fair value upon issuance as an equity component in our 2019 consolidated statement of equity. The fair value of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an associated convertible feature, which was established using the present value of cash flows associated with such instrument based on a 5-year tenor and an estimated yield rate of 7%, which is a Level 2 input. The fair value of the equity component was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the proceeds received on issuance of the Convertible Notes. 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 property and equipment, customer relationships and spectrum intangible assets, as further described below: • Property and equipment . The valuation of property and equipment may use either an indirect cost approach, which utilizes trends based on historical cost information, or a combination of indirect cost approach, market approach and direct replacement cost method, which considers factors such as current prices of the same or similar equipment, the age of the equipment and economic obsolescence. • 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. • Spectrum intangible assets. The valuation of spectrum intangible assets may use either an adjusted market-based approach, which requires the calibration of observable market inputs to reflect the fair value of the assets acquired, and/or an adjusted market-based approach with other methods, such as an income-based approach (e.g. the “greenfield” valuation method), which requires a wide range of assumptions and inputs, including forecasting costs associated with building a complementary asset base. During 2021, we performed nonrecurring valuations related to the preliminary acquisition accounting for the Telefónica Costa Rica Acquisition and finalized our acquisition accounting for the AT&T Acquisition. The weighted average discount rates used in the valuations of the customer relationships acquired in the Telefónica Costa Rica Acquisition and the AT&T Acquisition were approximately 11% and 10%, respectively. The weighted average discount rate used in the valuation of the spectrum licenses acquired in the AT&T Acquisition was approximately 8%. In March 2020, we performed a nonrecurring valuation related to the final acquisition accounting for the UTS Acquisition. The weighted average discount rate used in the valuation of the customer relationships acquired was approximately 14%. For information related to the status of valuation work associated with assets acquired in connection with our business acquisitions, see note 4. Impairment Assessments The nonrecurring valuations associated with impairment assessments, which use significant unobservable inputs and therefore fall under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, primarily include the valuation of reporting units for the purpose of testing for goodwill impairment. Unless a reporting unit has a readily determinable fair value, we estimate the fair value of the reporting unit using either a market-based or income-based approach. Goodwill As part of our annual goodwill impairment assessment in the fourth quarter of 2021, we performed goodwill impairment analyses of several reporting units within the C&W Caribbean and Networks segment and the C&W Panama segment. We used an income approach to determine the estimated fair values of these reporting units. Under this approach, we utilized a discounted cash flow model as the valuation technique to estimate the fair values of the reporting units from a market participant’s perspective. This approach uses certain inputs and assumptions that require estimates and judgments, including forecasted cash flows and appropriate discount rates. Forecasts of future cash flows are largely based on our assumptions using Level 3 inputs, which we consider to be consistent with a market participant’s approach. We used the weighted-average cost of capital for each reporting unit as the basis for the discount rate to establish the present value of the expected cash flows for the respective reporting unit. The inputs for our weighted average cost of capital calculations include Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, generally derived from third-party pricing services. We used discount rates ranging from approximately 8% to 11% in the valuation of the various reporting units within our C&W Caribbean and Networks segment and approximately 8% in the valuation of our C&W Panama segment During the second quarter of 2020, we performed goodwill impairment analyses of several reporting units within the C&W Caribbean and Networks segment and the C&W Panama segment, primarily due to the ongoing economic impacts associated with COVID-19 and organizational restructuring of certain markets within our C&W Caribbean and Networks segment. We used an income approach to determine the estimated fair values of these reporting units. We used discount rates ranging from approximately 9% to 10% in the valuation of the various reporting units within our C&W Caribbean and Networks segment and approximately 10% in the valuation of our C&W Panama segment. During the third quarter of 2019, based on declines in the operating results of our C&W Panama segment, we conducted a goodwill impairment assessment of that reporting unit. We used a market-based valuation approach to determine the fair value of this reporting unit. The fair value of a reporting unit using a market-based approach is estimated based upon a market multiple typically applied to the reporting unit’s Adjusted OIBDA. We determined the market multiple for each reporting unit taking the following into consideration: (i) public company trading multiples for entities with similar business characteristics as the respective reporting unit, adjusted to reflect an appropriate control premium or discount, a “trading multiple,” and (ii) multiples derived from the value of recent transactions for businesses with similar operations and in geographically similar locations, a “transaction multiple.” For additional information regarding goodwill impairment charges resulting from these impairment analyses, see note 8. Other During 2021, we recorded a $41 million impairment charge in connection with an impairment assessment of a cost basis investment.

During our 2021 annual goodwill impairment test, we concluded a $605 million impairment was necessary at our C&W Caribbean and Networks segment. If, among other factors, (i) our equity values were to decline significantly 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 additional impairment charges are required in order to reduce the carrying values of the goodwill and, to a lesser extent, other long-lived assets of our C&W Caribbean and Networks segment or our C&W Panama segment. Any such impairment charges could be significant. COVID-19 . During the first quarter of 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel strain of Coronavirus ( COVID-19 ) a “pandemic,” pointing to the sustained risk of further global spread. COVID-19 negatively impacted our results of operations and resulted in systemic disruption of the worldwide equity markets, and the market values of our publicly-traded equity declined significantly beginning in late February 2020. As a result of the impact of COVID-19 on our results of operations, we evaluated whether the facts and circumstances and available information resulted in the need for an impairment assessment for any of our long-lived assets, including goodwill, and during the second quarter of 2020, concluded assessments were required with respect to our goodwill, which resulted in goodwill impairments in our C&W Caribbean and Networks segment and our C&W Panama segment. C&W Panama . During our 2019 annual goodwill impairment test, we concluded a $185 million impairment was necessary for our C&W Panama segment, and during the second quarter of 2020, we concluded that an additional $174 million goodwill impairment charge was necessary based on further deterioration in the C&W Panama segment's operating results. These impairments primarily resulted from the impact of a significant increase in competition, particularly with respect to our prepaid mobile business. The accumulation of prepaid mobile subscriber losses, together with associated adverse impacts to average monthly subscription revenue per mobile subscriber, negatively impacted the actual results during these periods and the then expected future financial performance of the Panamanian reporting unit, resulting in the impairments during 2019 and 2020. Hurricane Dorian. In September 2019, our operations in the Bahamas, which is part of our C&W Caribbean and Networks segment, were impacted by Hurricane Dorian resulting in significant damage to homes, businesses and infrastructure. Based on our initial estimates of the impacts of the hurricane to our operations, during the third quarter of 2019, we recorded an impairment charge of $17 million to write-off the net carrying amount of property and equipment that was damaged beyond repair. For additional information regarding the fair value methods and related assumptions used in our impairment assessments, see note 6.

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]
Assets Held for Sale	Assets Held for Sale On September 29, 2021, we entered into an agreement with América Móvil to contribute the Chile JV Entities to América Móvil’s Chilean operations to form the Chile JV that will be owned 50:50 by Liberty Latin America and América Móvil. The consummation of the transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the second half of 2022. In connection with this transaction, we will make a balancing payment to América Móvil of CLP 73 billion ($0.1 billion equivalent). The transaction will not trigger a change of control under VTR’s debt agreements, and is not subject to Liberty Latin America or América Móvil shareholder approvals. Following completion of the transaction, we expect to account for our 50% interest in the Chile JV as an equity method investment. Effective with the agreement to form the Chile JV, we began accounting for the Chile JV Entities as held for sale. Accordingly, we ceased to depreciate the long-lived assets and amortization or right of use assets of the Chile JV Entities. We have not presented the Chile JV Entities as a discontinued operation, as this transaction does not represent a strategic shift that will have a major effect on our financial results or operations. The carrying amounts of the major classes of assets and liabilities that are classified as held for sale at December 31, 2021 are summarized below (in millions): Assets: Cash and cash equivalents (a) $ 109.7 Other current assets, net (b) 132.6 Property and equipment, net 686.0 Goodwill 313.0 Other assets, net (b) 327.4 Total assets $ 1,568.7 Liabilities: Current portion of debt $ 82.2 Other accrued and current liabilities (c) 294.2 Long-term debt 1,416.8 Other long-term liabilities (c) 60.9 Total liabilities $ 1,854.1 (a) Amount excludes certain cash and cash equivalent balances of the Chile JV Entities that will be retained by Liberty Latin America upon the formation of the Chile JV and are therefore not classified as held for sale. (b) Other current assets, net, and other assets, net, include $27 million and $277 million, respectively, related to derivative assets. (c) Other accrued and current liabilities and other long-term liabilities include $16 million and $2 million, respectively, related to derivative liabilities. Our consolidated statements of operations include earnings (loss) before income taxes attributable to the Chile JV Entities of $271 million , ($118 million) and $82 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, 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 December 31, 2021 without regard to covenant compliance calculations or other conditions precedent to borrowing. At December 31, 2021, 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 December 31, 2021 compliance reporting requirements. At December 31, 2021, except as may be limited by tax and legal considerations, the presence of noncontrolling interests, foreign currency exchange restrictions with respect to certain C&W subsidiaries and other factors, there were no restrictions on the respective subsidiary’s ability to upstream cash from this availability to Liberty Latin America or its subsidiaries or other equity holders, other than VTR that was limited to approximately CLP 194 billion ($228 million) under the terms of the 2028 VTR Senior Notes. (c) The estimated fair values of our debt instruments are determined using the applicable bid prices (mostly Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy) or from quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets adjusted for the estimated credit spreads of the applicable entity, to the extent available, and other relevant factors (Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). 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 the discount recorded in connection with the Conversion Option, as further described below. (e) The C&W Credit Facilities unused borrowing capacity comprise certain U.S. dollar, Trinidad & Tobago dollar and JMD revolving credit facilities. For further information, see C&W Credit Facilities below. (f) In connection with the pending formation of the Chile JV, $1,440 million of outstanding third-party debt and $82 million of vendor financing of the Chile JV Entities has been reflected in liabilities associated with assets held for sale on our December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet. For information regarding the pending formation of the Chile JV and the held-for-sale presentation of the Chile JV Entities, see note 9.

(h) Represents amounts owed pursuant to interest-bearing vendor financing arrangements that are used to finance certain of our operating expenses and property and equipment additions. These obligations are generally due within one year and include VAT that were paid on our behalf by the vendor. Our operating expenses include $110 million, $108 million and $130 million for 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively, that were financed by an intermediary and are reflected on the borrowing date as a cash outflow within net cash provided by operating activities and a cash inflow within net cash provided by financing activities in our 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 consolidated statements of cash flows. General Information At December 31, 2021, all of our outstanding debt had been incurred by one of our four primary “borrowing groups”: C&W, Liberty Puerto Rico, VTR and Costa Rica, except for our Convertible Notes (as described below). Debt associated with our VTR borrowing group, which is part of the Chile JV Entities, is reflected in liabilities associated with assets held for sale on our December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet. Credit Facilities. Each of our borrowing groups has entered into one or more credit facility agreements with certain financial institutions. Each of these credit facilities contain certain covenants, the more notable of which are as follows: •. Our credit facilities contain certain net leverage ratios, as specified in the relevant credit facility, which are required to be complied with on an incurrence and/or maintenance basis; •. Our credit facilities contain certain restrictions which, among other things, restrict the ability of the entities of the relevant borrowing group to (i) incur or guarantee certain financial indebtedness, (ii) make certain disposals and acquisitions, (iii) create certain security interests over their assets, in each case, subject to certain customary and agreed exceptions, and (iv) make certain restricted payments to their direct and/or indirect parent companies through dividends, loans or other distributions, subject to compliance with applicable covenants; •. Our credit facilities require that certain entities of the relevant borrowing group guarantee the payment of all sums payable under the relevant credit facility and such entities are required to have first-ranking security granted over their shares and, in certain borrowing groups, over substantially all of their assets to secure the payment of all sums payable thereunder; •. In addition to certain mandatory prepayment events, the instructing group of lenders under the relevant credit facility may cancel the commitments thereunder and declare the loans thereunder due and payable after the applicable notice period following the occurrence of a change of control (as specified in the relevant credit facility); •. Our credit facilities contain certain customary events of default, the occurrence of which, subject to certain exceptions and materiality qualifications, would allow the instructing group of lenders to (i) cancel the total commitments, (ii) accelerate all outstanding loans and terminate their commitments thereunder and/or (iii) declare that all or part of the loans be payable on demand; •. Our credit facilities require entities of the relevant borrowing group to observe certain affirmative and negative undertakings and covenants, which are subject to certain materiality qualifications and other customary and agreed exceptions; and •. In addition to customary default provisions, our credit facilities generally include certain cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions with respect to other indebtedness of entities of the relevant borrowing group, subject to agreed minimum thresholds and other customary and agreed exceptions. Senior and Senior Secured Notes. Our C&W, Liberty Puerto Rico and VTR borrowing groups have issued senior and/or senior secured notes. In general, our senior and senior secured notes (i) are senior obligations of each respective issuer within the relevant borrowing group that rank equally with all of the existing and future debt of such issuer and, in the case of our senior secured notes, are senior to all existing and future subordinated debt of each respective issuer within the relevant borrowing group, (ii) contain, in most instances, guarantees from other entities of the relevant borrowing group (as specified in the applicable indenture) and (iii) are secured by pledges over the shares of certain entities of the relevant borrowing group and, in certain instances, over substantially all of the assets of those entities. In addition, the indentures governing our senior and senior secured notes contain certain covenants, the more notable of which are as follows: •. Our notes contain certain customary incurrence-based covenants. In addition, our notes provide that any failure to pay principal prior to expiration of any applicable grace period, or any acceleration with respect to other indebtedness of the issuer or certain other members of the relevant borrowing group, over agreed minimum thresholds (as specified under the applicable indenture), is an event of default under the respective notes; •. Our notes contain certain restrictions that, among other things, restrict the ability of the entities of the relevant borrowing group to (i) incur or guarantee certain financial indebtedness, (ii) make certain disposals and acquisitions, (iii) create certain security interests over their assets, in each case, subject to certain customary and agreed exceptions and (iv) make certain restricted payments to its direct and/or indirect parent companies through dividends, loans or other distributions, subject to compliance with applicable covenants; and •. If the relevant issuer or certain of its subsidiaries (as specified in the applicable indenture) sell certain assets, such issuer must offer to repurchase the applicable notes at par, or if a change of control (as specified in the applicable indenture) occurs, such issuer must offer to repurchase all of the relevant notes at a redemption price of 101%. Liberty Latin America – Convertible Notes In June 2019, Liberty Latin America issued $403 million principal amount of 2.0% convertible senior notes (the Convertible Notes ) due July 15, 2024. Interest on the Convertible Notes is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15. The Convertible Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company and are structurally subordinated to all the debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries. Conversion Rights. Subject to certain conditions, and adjustments if certain events occur (as specified in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes), including the Rights Offering (as discussed further below), as of December 31, 2021, the Convertible Notes may be converted at a conversion rate equal to 48.4315 Class C common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $20.65 per Class C common share), the “ Conversion Option ”. Any conversions of the Convertible Notes may be settled, at the election of the Company, in cash, Class C common shares or a combination thereof. In September 2020, we completed a Rights Offering, as further described in note 19, whereby we issued 49,049,073 of our Class C common shares. In connection with the Rights Offering, subject to certain anti-dilution provisions in the indenture governing the Convertible Notes, the conversion rate for the Convertible Notes was adjusted from 44.9767 to 48.4315 Class C common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes may be converted at the option of the holders at any time prior to the close of business on January 12, 2024, only under the following circumstances: •. during any calendar quarter (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of our Class C common shares for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on and including the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the applicable conversion price of the Convertible Notes on each applicable trading day; •. during the five five •. if we give notice of redemption, as described below; or •. upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions. On and after January 15, 2024 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders of the Convertible Notes may convert their notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances. We determined the Conversion Option should be bifurcated from the debt host instrument (the Convertible Notes) and accounted for as a separate financial instrument that qualifies for equity classification. Accordingly, we bifurcated the Conversion Option from the Convertible Notes and initially recorded the estimated fair value of $78 million as additional paid-in capital and debt discount. The debt discount is being accreted through interest expense, using the effective interest method, through maturity of the Convertible Notes or when the Conversion Option no longer qualifies for equity classification, if ever. At December 31, 2021, the carrying value of the Convertible Notes was $358 million and the unamortized debt discount on the Convertible Notes was $43 million. Redemption Rights. Other than a redemption for a change in certain tax laws, we may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to July 19, 2022. On or after July 19, 2022 but prior to the 85 th scheduled trading day immediately preceding July 15, 2024, we may redeem all or a portion of the notes for cash, if the last reported sale price of our Class C common shares has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect on (i) each of at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during the 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption and (ii) the trading day immediately preceding the date we provide such notice . Other. If a fundamental change (as defined in the indenture) occurs, holders of the Convertible Notes may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their notes for cash at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, following certain corporate transactions that occur prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes or the delivery of a notice of redemption, we will increase the applicable conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert in connection with such corporate transactions or notice of redemption in certain circumstances by a number of additional Class C common shares, as described in the related indenture. We used the net proceeds from the issuance of the Convertible Notes to (i) fund the cost of the Capped Calls, as further described in note 19, and (ii) for other general corporate purposes, including funding a portion of the AT&T Acquisition. Borrowing Group – Outstanding Debt Instruments C&W Notes 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 ( C&W Senior Finance ). 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 remained substantively unchanged. The 2026 C&W Senior Notes were redeemed in 2021.

Income Taxes

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes On July 11, 2017, Liberty Latin America was formed as a corporation in Bermuda where a Tax Assurance Certificate has been granted to guarantee that any imposition of income or other taxes will not be applicable to Liberty Latin America through March 31, 2035. Accordingly, Liberty Latin America does not file a primary corporate income tax return in Bermuda, although various subsidiaries in other jurisdictions are taxable operations and file income tax returns in their respective jurisdictions. The income taxes of Liberty Latin America are presented on a standalone basis, and each tax paying entity or group within Liberty Latin America is presented on a separate return basis, unless a combined or consolidated tax return regime is permitted. We maintain a tax sharing agreement with Liberty Global (the Tax Sharing Agreement ) that became effective upon consummation of the Split-Off. The Tax Sharing Agreement governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to taxes and tax benefits, the filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax matters. Pursuant to the Tax Sharing Agreement, tax liabilities and benefits relating to taxable periods before and after the Split-Off will be computed and apportioned between Liberty Latin America and Liberty Global, and responsibility for payment of those tax liabilities (including any taxes attributable to the Split-Off and related internal restructurings) and use of those tax benefits, will be allocated between Liberty Latin America and Liberty Global. Furthermore, the Tax Sharing Agreement sets forth the rights of Liberty Latin America and Liberty Global with respect to the preparation and filing of tax returns, the handling of audits or other tax proceedings and assistance and cooperation and other matters, in each case, for taxable periods ending on or before or that otherwise include the date of the Split-Off. The components of our loss before income taxes are as follows: Year ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 in millions Domestic (a) $ (85.7) $ (67.3) $ (46.0) Foreign (b) (c) (214.9) (764.4) (262.6) Total $ (300.6) $ (831.7) $ (308.6) (a) Liberty Latin America is considered a stand-alone Bermuda entity. (b) Amounts for the year ended December 31, 2021 include a goodwill impairment charge of $605 million and a $41 million impairment associated with a cost method investment, both of which occurred at our C&W Caribbean and Networks segment. Amounts for the year ended December 31, 2020, include impairment charges of $177 million and $99 million at our C&W Panama and C&W Caribbean and Networks reporting units. Amounts for the year ended December 31, 2019 include impairment charges at our C&W Panama reporting unit of $182 million, as further described in note 8. (c) For the year ended December 31, 2021, material jurisdictions that comprise the “foreign” component of our loss before income taxes include Bahamas, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Chile, Costa Rica, Curacao, Jamaica, the Netherlands, Panama, Puerto Rico, Trinidad, U.S. Virgin Islands, the U.K. and the U.S. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, material jurisdictions that comprise the “foreign” component of our loss before income taxes include Bahamas, Barbados, Chile, Costa Rica, Jamaica, the Netherlands, Panama, Puerto Rico, Trinidad, the U.K. and the U.S. Income tax benefit (expense) consists of: Current Deferred Total in millions Year ended December 31, 2021: Domestic $ — $ — $ — Foreign (85.5) (104.0) (189.5) Total $ (85.5) $ (104.0) $ (189.5) Year ended December 31, 2020: Domestic $ — $ — $ — Foreign (35.9) 63.7 27.8 Total $ (35.9) $ 63.7 $ 27.8 Year ended December 31, 2019: Domestic $ — $ — $ — Foreign 65.5 34.7 100.2 Total $ 65.5 $ 34.7 $ 100.2 Income tax benefit (expense) attributable to our earnings (loss) before income taxes differs from the amounts computed by using the applicable tax rate as a result of the following: Year ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 in millions Computed expected tax benefit (a) $ — $ — $ — Permanent differences (b) (13.6) (17.7) (13.9) Basis and other differences in the treatment of items associated with investments in Liberty Latin America entities 1.4 0.5 19.9 Increases in valuation allowances (321.6) (223.0) (60.9) Expiration of deferred tax assets with full valuation allowance (129.5) — — International rate differences (a) (c) 82.2 180.7 56.0 Changes in uncertain tax positions (1.0) 33.4 161.7 Enacted tax law and rate changes (d) (e) (f) 416.1 149.4 11.3 Effect of non-deductible goodwill impairments (201.2) (70.3) (43.8) Withholding tax (23.4) (40.0) (15.8) Other, net 1.1 14.8 (14.3) Total income tax benefit (expense) $ (189.5) $ 27.8 $ 100.2 (a) On July 11, 2017, Liberty Latin America was formed as a corporation in Bermuda where the company is exempt from income taxes on ordinary income and capital gains, and therefore has a “statutory” or “expected” tax rate of 0% in 2021, 2020, and 2019. The majority of our subsidiaries operate in jurisdictions where income tax is imposed at local applicable rates, resulting in “international rate differences,” as shown in the table above that reflect the computed tax benefit (expense) of pre-tax book income (loss) in the respective taxable jurisdiction. (b) Permanent differences primarily relate to various non-taxable income or non-deductible expenses, such as Caribbean Community (CARICOM) treaty income, limitations on deductible management fees, or executive compensation, among others. (c) The 2021 corporate tax rates applicable to our primary material jurisdictions are as follows: Bahamas, 0%; Barbados, 1% to 5.5%; British Virgin Islands, 0%; Chile, 27%; Costa Rica, 30%; Curacao, 22%; Jamaica, 33.33%; the Netherlands, 25.8%; Panama, 25%; Puerto Rico, 37.5%; Trinidad, 30%; U.S. Virgin Islands, 23.10%; the U.K. 19% and the U.S., 21%. (d) On June 10, 2021, the United Kingdom Finance Bill of 2021 enacted an increase in the main corporate tax rate to 25%, with effect from April 1, 2023. While deferred tax assets were re-valued as of enactment, there is a net nil tax impact of this on total tax result due to a full valuation allowance on all deferred tax items in the U.K. (e) On September 14, 2021, legislation was enacted in Colombia. Changes include an increase in the corporate income tax to 35% from January 1, 2022. Substantially all of the impact of this rate change on our deferred tax balances was recorded during the third quarter of 2021 when the change in law was enacted. (f) On December 27, 2021, the Netherlands enacted legislation increasing the top corporate income tax rate to 25.8%. with effect from January 1, 2022. While deferred tax assets were re-valued, there is a net nil tax impact of this on total tax result due to a full valuation allowance on all deferred tax items in the Netherlands. Deferred income taxes reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities recognized for financial reporting purposes and such amounts recognized for tax purposes. The components of our deferred tax assets (liabilities) are as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 in millions Deferred tax assets $ 25.1 $ 41.9 Deferred tax liabilities (696.3) (575.4) Net deferred tax liability $ (671.2) $ (533.5) The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented below: December 31, 2021 2020 in millions Deferred tax assets: Net operating losses, credits and other carryforwards $ 2,439.1 $ 2,085.8 Deferred revenue 19.3 16.8 Unrealized gains and losses 9.9 24.8 Accrued expenses — 15.5 Other future deductible amounts 0.1 2.4 Deferred tax assets 2,468.4 2,145.3 Valuation allowance (1,940.3) (1,630.9) Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance 528.1 514.4 Deferred tax liabilities: Investments (221.5) (161.2) Intangible assets (690.7) (618.0) Property and equipment, net (286.2) (266.3) Un-remitted foreign earnings (0.8) (2.4) Accrued expenses (0.1) — Deferred tax liabilities (1,199.3) (1,047.9) Net deferred tax liability $ (671.2) $ (533.5) The changes in our valuation allowances are summarized below: Year ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 in millions Balance at January 1 $ 1,630.9 $ 1,402.8 $ 1,308.9 Net tax expense related to operations 321.6 223.0 60.9 Translation adjustments (9.1) 0.3 8.8 Business acquisitions and other (3.1) 4.8 24.2 Balance at December 31 $ 1,940.3 $ 1,630.9 $ 1,402.8 Deferred tax assets related to net operating losses may be used to offset future taxable income. The significant components of our tax loss carryforwards at December 31, 2021 are as follows: Country Tax loss Related Expiration in millions U.K.: Amount attributable to capital losses $ 4,988.3 $ 1,247.1 Indefinite Amount attributable to net operating losses 1,411.7 352.9 Indefinite Barbados 1,071.1 27.2 2022 - 2028 Jamaica 413.8 137.8 Indefinite Curacao 175.2 40.4 2022 - 2031 Puerto Rico 174.1 38.3 2024 - 2028 U.S. 121.3 30.3 2025 - 2037 U.S. Virgin Islands 37.6 8.7 2033-Indefinite Colombia 20.8 7.3 2033-Indefinite Other 40.5 11.3 Various Total $ 8,454.4 $ 1,901.3 As of December 31, 2021, a valuation allowance of $1,817 million has been recorded on the net operating loss carryforwards where we do not expect to generate future taxable income, or where certain losses may be limited in use due to change in control or same-business tests. Our tax loss carryforwards within each jurisdiction combine all companies’ tax losses (both capital and ordinary losses) in that jurisdiction; however, certain tax jurisdictions limit the ability to offset taxable income of a separate company or different tax group with the tax losses associated with another separate company or group. Further, tax jurisdictions restrict the type of taxable income that the above losses are able to offset. In 2021 and 2020, we have foreign tax credit carryforwards of $13 million and $24 million, respectively, which are available in the U.S. Substantially all credits not utilized will expire at the end of 2031. Other credit carry forwards at the end of 2021 and 2020, in the amounts of $52 million and $50 million, respectively, predominantly represent alternative minimum tax credits attributable to our operations in Puerto Rico for which the current tax law provides no period of expiration. Through our consolidated subsidiaries, we maintain a presence in many countries. Many of these countries maintain highly complex tax regimes. We have accounted for the effect of these taxes based on what we believe is reasonably expected to apply to us and our consolidated subsidiaries based on tax laws currently in effect and reasonable interpretations of these laws. Because some jurisdictions do not have systems of taxation that are as well established as the system of income taxation used in other major industrialized countries, it may be difficult to anticipate how other jurisdictions will tax our and our consolidated subsidiaries’ current and future operations. Although we intend to take reasonable tax planning measures to limit our tax exposures, no assurance can be given that we will be able to do so. We file income tax returns in various jurisdictions. In the normal course of business, our income tax filings are subject to review by various taxing authorities. In connection with such reviews, disputes could arise with the taxing authorities over the interpretation or application of certain income tax rules related to our business in that tax jurisdiction. Such disputes may result in future tax and interest and penalty assessments by these taxing authorities. The ultimate resolution of tax contingencies will take place upon the earlier of (i) the settlement date with the applicable taxing authorities in either cash or agreement of income tax positions or (ii) the date when the tax authorities are statutorily prohibited from adjusting the company’s tax computations. In general, tax returns filed by, or that include, entities comprising Liberty Latin America for years prior to 2009 are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities. We are currently undergoing income tax audits in Chile and Trinidad and Tobago and certain other jurisdictions within the Caribbean and Latin America. Except as noted below, any adjustments that might arise from the foregoing examinations are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations. The changes in our unrecognized tax benefits are summarized below: Year ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 in millions Balance at January 1 $ 32.0 $ 64.1 $ 249.0 Additions for tax positions of prior years 1.0 2.6 20.3 Effects of business acquisitions — — 3.1 Additions based on tax positions related to the current year — 1.6 1.0 Lapse of statute of limitations (3.4) (16.7) (2.7) Foreign currency translation (2.4) (0.8) (11.5) Decrease for settlement with tax authorities (3.9) — (42.0) Reductions for tax positions of prior years — (18.8) (153.1) Reclassification to liabilities associated with assets held for sale (11.3) — — Balance at December 31 $ 12.0 $ 32.0 $ 64.1 No assurance can be given that any of these unrecognized tax benefits will be recognized or realized. As of December 31, 2021, all of our unrecognized tax benefits would have a favorable impact on our effective income tax rate if ultimately recognized. During 2022, it is reasonably possible that the resolution of ongoing examinations by tax authorities as well as expiration of statutes of limitation could result in reductions to our unrecognized tax benefits related to tax positions taken as of December 31, 2021. Other than the potential impacts of ongoing examinations and the expected expiration of certain statutes of limitation, we do not expect any material changes to our unrecognized tax benefits during 2022. No assurance can be given as to the nature or impact of any changes in our unrecognized tax positions during 2022.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]
Pension Plans	Pension Plans Defined Benefit Plans We maintain various funded defined benefit plans for certain current and past employees, including (i) the CWSF, which is C&W’s largest defined benefit plan, (ii) plans in the Bahamas, Jamaica, Barbados, Curacao and Puerto Rico and (iii) certain other defined benefit arrangements in the U.K., which are governed by individual trust deeds. These defined benefit plans are closed to new entrants, and existing participants do not accrue any additional benefits. Defined benefit plan amounts included in our consolidated balance sheets are as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 in millions Other assets, net $ 218.8 $ 210.2 Other long-term liabilities (216.4) (272.2) Net pension asset (liability) $ 2.4 $ (62.0) The table below provides summary information for our defined benefit plans: December 31, 2021 2020 in millions Projected benefit obligations (a) $ (2,289.5) $ (2,480.5) Fair value of plan assets (b) 2,291.9 2,418.5 Net pension asset (liability) $ 2.4 $ (62.0) (a) The weighted average discount rate used in determining our benefit obligations was 2.8% and 2.4% at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. A 1.0% increase or decrease in the weighted average discount rate would have a ($142 million) or $182 million impact, respectively, on the projected benefit obligations, net of the annuity insurance policies (as described further below). (b) Our plan assets primarily comprise investments in debt securities, equity securities and insurance contracts. The fair value of plan assets at December 31, 2021 includes $952 million, $209 million and $1,131 million of assets that are valued based on Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, respectively, of the fair value hierarchy (as further described in note 6). The fair value of plan assets at December 31, 2020 includes $969 million, $212 million and $1,238 million of assets that are valued based on Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, respectively. At December 31, 2021, approximately 65% of the CWSF’s liabilities, 66% of the Jamaican plan’s liabilities and 100% of the UTS liabilities are covered through the purchase of insurance annuity policies, the payments from which match the corresponding obligations to employees. The remaining investment risks in the plans have also been mitigated to a reasonable extent by a combination of matching assets and diversification of the return-seeking assets. During 2021, 2020 and 2019, our net periodic pension cost was $4 million, $3 million and $1 million, respectively. Defined Contribution Plans We have established various defined contribution benefit plans for our employees. Our aggregate expense for matching contributions under the various defined contribution employee benefit plans was $16 million, $14 million and $13 million during 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Share-based Compensation

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Share-based Compensation	Share-based Compensation Equity Incentive Plans In 2017, we adopted the Employee Incentive Plan and the Nonemployee Director Incentive Plan, under which options, SARs, RSUs, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing may be granted. The maximum number of Liberty Latin America common shares that may be issued under the Employee Incentive Plan and the Nonemployee Director Incentive Plan is 75 million (of which no more than 10 million shares may consist of Class B shares) and 5 million, respectively, in each case subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions in the respective plans. Liberty Latin America common shares issuable pursuant to awards will be made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been issued but reacquired by Liberty Latin America. Prior to 2020, RSUs and SARs granted under the Employee Incentive Plan generally vested 12.5% on the seven-month anniversary of the grant date and then vested at a rate of 6.25% each quarter thereafter over a four year term. Awards granted in 2020 vest 33.3% on the anniversary of the grant date over a three year vesting term. All SARs granted under the Employee Incentive Plan expire seven years after the grant date, other than SARs granted in 2021, which expire ten years after the grant date, and may be granted with an exercise price at or above the fair market value of the shares on the date of grant in any class of common shares. RSUs issued under the Nonemployee Director Incentive Plan vest on the first anniversary of the grant date. Our share-based compensation expense includes amounts related to share-based incentive awards held by our employees and employees of our subsidiaries. The following table summarizes certain information related to share-based incentive awards granted: Year ended December 31, Assumptions used to estimate fair value of SARs and PSARs: 2021 2020 2019 Risk-free interest rate 0.8 - 1.4% 0.2 - 0.9% 1.7 - 2.4% Expected life 6.0 - 10.0 years 4.5 - 7.0 years 4.6 - 7.0 years Expected volatility 36.9 - 46.8% 48.1 - 90.6% 33.1 - 36.4% Expected dividend yield none none none Weighted average grant-date fair value per share of awards granted: SARs $ 6.43 $ 5.39 $ 6.86 PSARs $ 6.88 $ — $ — RSUs $ 13.96 $ 10.07 $ 19.75 PSUs $ 11.57 $ — $ 16.95 Income tax benefit related to share-based compensation (in millions) $ 8.7 $ 4.9 $ 3.8 As of December 31, 2021, we have $116 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to awards held by our employees that is expected to be recognized as a future expense over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.1 years. Performance Awards The following is a summary of the material terms and conditions with respect to our performance-based awards for certain executive officers and key employees. PSUs In early 2020, our compensation committee approved the 2020 PSUs, which represent the right to receive one Liberty Latin America Class A or Class C common share, as applicable, subject to performance and vesting. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the difficulty in providing clarity on our then expected results over a two-year performance period for the 2020 PSUs, the compensation committee decided in July 2020 to delay the setting of the performance target for the 2020 PSUs in order for the compensation committee to have better visibility of the impacts of the pandemic on the long-range plans of Liberty Latin America. As a result of this delay in setting the performance targets, no targets were communicated to award recipients, and as such, a grant date for accounting purposes was not considered to have occurred. On February 19, 2021, in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the compensation committee reevaluated, reset and communicated the financial and operational targets for earning the 2020 PSUs thereby establishing a grant date for the 2020 PSUs. The performance criteria is based upon the achievement of an Adjusted OIBDA CAGR during the period from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. The earned 2020 PSUs will vest 50% on each of March 15 and September 15 of 2022. PSARs 2021 PSARs . During 2021, certain key employees received the 2021 PSARs. Each award represents the right to receive a payment in shares or, if the compensation committee so determines, cash or a combination of cash and shares, equal to the excess of the fair market value of the common shares on the day of exercise over the exercise price, subject to performance and vesting. The 2021 PSARs, have a term of ten years, a performance period from January 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2023 and will vest on March 16, 2024 based on the continued employment of the recipient through this date. The 2021 PSARs include performance conditions based on the achievement of individual qualitative objectives during the performance period. During 2021, we granted 2,733,325 Class A PSARs and 5,466,675 Class C PSARs, all of which are outstanding as of December 31, 2021. Liability-Based Awards Beginning in 2020, our share-based compensation expense includes estimated bonus-related expenses paid in the form of equity. Accordingly, such expenses have been included in share-based compensation expense effective January 1, 2020 and are being accounted for using the liability-based method. Modification Prior to January 1, 2018, certain of our employees received share-based incentive awards in shares of Liberty Global that had a legal life of seven years. During 2020, the expiration period for certain of these awards related to Liberty Global shares held by our employees was extended from 7 years to 10 years, which resulted in incremental expense of $7 million. Share-based Incentive Awards The following tables summarize the share-based incentive award activity during 2021 with respect to Liberty Latin America awards held by our employees and our Directors.

Holders of Class A common shares and Class B common shares vote together as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of Liberty Latin America’s shareholders. The holders of Class A common shares have one vote per share; the holders of Class B common shares have 10 votes per share; and the holders of Class C common shares generally have no votes per share. In the event a right to vote is required under applicable law, holders of Class C common shares will vote as a single class with the holders of Class A common shares and Class B common shares and will be entitled to 1/100 of a vote on such matter for each Class C common share. Each Class B common share is convertible at the option of the holder for one Class A common share. Contribution from noncontrolling interest owners During 2021, we received an equity contribution of $47 million from the noncontrolling interest owner of Cabletica, the proceeds of which were used to partially fund the Telefónica Costa Rica Acquisition. This contribution represented their pro-rata share of the equity portion of the purchase price for the Telefónica Costa Rica Acquisition, and has been reflected as a contribution from noncontrolling interest owners in our consolidated statement of equity, and as a financing activity in our consolidated statement of cash flows. Share Repurchase Program On March 16, 2020, our Directors approved 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. At December 31, 2021, the remaining amount authorized for share repurchases was $26 million. On February 22, 2022, our Directors approved a new Share Repurchase Program. The new program authorizes us to repurchase from time to time up to an additional $200 million of our Class A common shares and/or Class C common shares through December 2024. Rights Offering On August 5, 2020, our Directors authorized the Rights Distribution to holders of Class C Rights to acquire LILAK common shares in the Rights Offering. In the Rights Distribution, we distributed 0.269 of a Class C Right for each share of Class A, Class B or Class C common shares of Liberty Latin America held as of September 8, 2020, which was the record date for the Rights Distribution. Fractional Class C Rights were rounded up to the nearest whole right. Each whole Class C Right entitled the holder to purchase, pursuant to the basic subscription privilege, one share of LILAK at a subscription price of $7.14, which was equal to an approximate 25% discount to the volume weighted average trading price of LILAK for the 3-day trading period ending on and including September 2, 2020. Each Class C Right also entitled the holder to subscribe for additional shares of LILAK that were unsubscribed for in the Rights Offering pursuant to an over-subscription privilege. The Rights Offering commenced on September 11, 2020, which was also the ex-dividend date for the Rights Distribution. The Rights Offering expired in accordance with its terms on September 25, 2020 and was fully subscribed with 49,049,073 shares of LILAK issued to those rights holders exercising basic and, if applicable, over-subscription privileges. Capped Calls In connection with the issuance of our Convertible Notes, Liberty Latin America entered into the Capped Calls, which are used as an economic hedge to reduce or offset potential dilution to our Class C common shares upon any conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of such converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. Collectively, the Capped Calls cover the number of the Company’s Class C common shares underlying the Convertible Notes, or 19.5 million of Class C common shares, as adjusted for the impact of the Rights Offering as described below. The Capped Calls had an initial strike price of $22.2337 per Class C common share and an initial cap price of $31.7625 per Class C common share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the conversion rate of the Convertible Notes, and expire on July 15, 2024. Following the completion of the Rights Offering, the strike price of the Capped Calls is $20.65 per Class C common share and the cap price per Class C common share ranges from $28.00 to $29.50. The Capped Calls are not considered a derivative instrument under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging , as the contracts are indexed to our Class C common shares and therefore classified within shareholders’ equity. The aggregate premiums paid for the Capped Calls of $46 million are included in additional paid-in capital in our 2019 consolidated statement of equity. Conversion Option – Convertible Notes In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, we recorded $77 million in additional paid-in capital in our consolidated statement of equity for the Conversion Option, which represents the fair value of the Conversion Option at issuance less $1 million of allocated transaction fees and costs. For additional information, see notes 6 and 10. Noncontrolling interests During 2019, we completed the UTS NCI Acquisition, whereby we increased our ownership interest in UTS from 87.5% to 100.0%. We paid $5 million and $6 million in 2019 and 2020, respectively, related to the UTS NCI Acquisition.

Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies 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. Legal and Regulatory Proceedings and Other Contingencies VTR Class Action. On August 25, 2020, VTR was notified that SERNAC had filed a class action complaint against VTR in the 14th Civil Court of Santiago. The complaint relates to consumer complaints regarding VTR’s broadband service and capacity during the pandemic and raises claims regarding, among other things, VTR’s disclosure of its broadband speeds and aggregate capacity availability and VTR’s response to address the causes of service instability during the pandemic. VTR was also notified in August about two additional class action complaints filed by consumer associations (ODECU and AGRECU) making similar claims and allegations. The class action complaint of ODECU was filed in the 21st Civil Court of Santiago, and the class action complaint of AGRECU was filed in the 26th Civil Court of Santiago. The complaint of SERNAC and ODECU seeks (i) the Court declare that VTR has infringed the rules of the Consumer Protection Law; (ii) the responsibility of VTR for such infractions and, if so, establish the corresponding fines; and (iii) compensatory and punitive damages. In the case of AGRECU, the complaint only seeks compensatory damages. On October 22, 2020, VTR was notified of a fourth class action complaint filed by CONADECUS in the 16 th Civil Court of Santiago alleging that VTR did not adhere to certain call center, technical visit and service level requirements under applicable law. On April 21, 2021, the Court of Appeals of Santiago issued a ruling joining the four class action complaints into one legal procedure. We believe that the allegations contained in the complaints are without merit, in particular as it relates to VTR’s service and response during the pandemic and intend to defend the complaints vigorously. We cannot predict at this point the length of time that these actions will be ongoing. Additionally, a liability, if any, or a reasonable range of loss is not currently determinable based upon the current facts and circumstances of these claims. Regulatory Issues. 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 Our reportable segments derive their revenue primarily from residential and B2B services, including video, broadband internet and fixed-line telephony services and mobile services. Our corporate category includes our corporate operations. We generally identify our reportable segments as those operating segments that represent 10% or more of our revenue, Adjusted OIBDA or total assets. As of December 31, 2021, our reportable segments are as follows: • C&W Caribbean and Networks; • C&W Panama; • Liberty Puerto Rico; • VTR; and • Costa Rica. Prior to 2021, VTR and Cabletica were collectively one operating segment. As a result of organizational changes during the first quarter of 2021, these operations became separate operating segments. Following the Telefónica Costa Rica Acquisition on August 9, 2021 (as further described in note 4), Cabletica and Telefónica Costa Rica now comprise our operating and reportable segment referred to herein as “Costa Rica.” Performance Measures of our Reportable Segments 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. 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. 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 certain subsidiaries that are not wholly owned, we include 100% of the revenue and expenses of these entities in our 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 Costa Rica and certain subsidiaries of C&W are reflected in net earnings or loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated statements of operations.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Accounting Changes	Accounting Changes 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 replaced 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 accumulated deficit to align our credit loss methodology with the new standard. The comparative information for 2019 was not restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period. Under the new model, we bifurcate 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 other reasonable expectations of future payment delinquency. The cumulative effect of the changes to our consolidated consolidated statement of equity as of January 1, 2020 was not material. 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.We adopted ASU 2018-14 effective January 1, 2021 and it did not have a material impact on the disclosures in our consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 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 LIBOR . In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) ( ASU 2021-01 ), which clarifies certain optional expedients and exceptions in ASC 848. The expedients and exceptions provided by ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 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. ASU 2020-06 In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity: Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity ( ASU 2020-06 ), which (i) reduces the number of accounting models for convertible instruments and allows more contracts to qualify for equity classification and (ii) makes targeted improvements to convertible instruments and earnings-per-share disclosure requirements. ASU 2020-06 is effective for annual reporting periods after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2020-06 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Estimates	Estimates 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
Reclassifications	Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of all voting interest entities where we exercise a controlling financial interest through the ownership of a direct or indirect controlling voting interest and variable interest entities for which our company is the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash Cash equivalents consist of money market funds and other investments that are readily convertible into cash and have maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition. We record money market funds at the net asset value as there are no restrictions on our ability, contractual or otherwise, to redeem our investments.
Receivables	Receivables We have trade and notes receivables that are each reported net of an allowance for expected credit losses. Our notes receivable consist of EIP receivables due from customers under contracts that range between a period of 12 to 30 months, depending on the market. The long-term portion of our notes receivable, net of allowances for expected credit losses, is included in other assets, net, in our consolidated balance sheets. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade and notes receivables is limited due to the large number of customers and their dispersion across many different countries, with the exception of $85 million and $72 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, due from a single government.
Investments	Investments From time to time, we may hold investments in (i) equity method investments; (ii) cost method investments, and (iii) available-for-sale method investments. We apply the equity method to investments when we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee. Under the equity method, investments are originally recorded at cost and are adjusted to recognize our share of net earnings or losses of the affiliates as they occur. Our share of the investee’s net earnings or losses is included in other income (expense), net, in our consolidated statements of operations. We are required to hold security against the value of certain pension liabilities in the U.K.. The security is in the form of U.K. Government Gilts, which we account for using the available-for-sale method. Available-for-sale securities are measured at fair value with changes reflected in other comprehensive income or loss until sold or other-than-temporarily impaired, at which time the amounts are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income or loss into non-operating income or expense in our consolidated statements of operations. Our investment in U.K. Government Gilts falls under Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying value of our investment in U.K. Government Gilts was $39 million and $38 million, respectively, which is included in other assets, net, in our consolidated balance sheets. We hold an equity security for which the fair value is not readily determinable. Accordingly, we measure this investment at cost minus impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes. We continually review our equity method investments, available-for-sale debt securities and cost-basis investments to determine whether a decline in fair value below the cost basis is other-than-temporary. If it has been determined that an investment has sustained an other-than-temporary decline in value, we estimate the fair value and record an impairment charge if the carrying value of the investment exceeds its estimated fair value. Any impairment charges are recorded in other income (expense), net, in our consolidated statements of operations.
Financial Instruments	Financial InstrumentsDue to the short maturities of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, notes receivable, other current assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other accrued and current liabilities, their respective carrying values approximate their respective fair values. For information concerning the fair values of our derivative and debt instruments, see notes 5 and 10, respectively.
Derivative Instruments	Derivative Instruments Derivative Instruments Recorded at Fair Value Our derivative instruments, excluding our Weather Derivatives, as discussed below, are recorded in our consolidated balance sheets at fair value, whether designated as a hedge or not. If the derivative instrument is not designated as a hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized in earnings. If the derivative instrument is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recorded in other comprehensive earnings or loss and subsequently reclassified into our consolidated statements of operations when the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Ineffective portions of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recognized in realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments in our consolidated statements of operations. With the exception of certain foreign currency forward contracts, we do not apply hedge accounting to our derivative instruments. The net cash received or paid related to our derivative instruments is classified as an operating, investing or financing activity in our consolidated statements of cash flows based on the objective of the derivative instrument and the classification of the applicable underlying cash flows, as follows: • Cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts: the net cash paid or received related to principal and current interest is classified as a financing or operating activity, respectively. • Foreign currency forward contracts that are used to hedge capital expenditures: the net cash paid or received is reflected in capital expenditures, which are classified as an investing activity. • Foreign currency forward contracts that are used to hedge principal exposure on foreign currencies: the net cash paid or received is classified as a financing activity. • Derivative contracts that are terminated prior to maturity: the cash paid or received upon termination that relates to future periods is classified as a financing activity. Weather Derivatives Our Weather Derivatives provide us with insurance coverage for certain weather-related events and are not accounted for at fair value. The premiums paid associated with the Weather Derivatives are recorded in other current assets, net, in our consolidated balance sheets, and the amortization of the premiums is included in realized and unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments, net, in our consolidated statements of operations. The cash paid associated with the premiums is classified as an operating activity in our consolidated statements of cash flows. In the event of a payout under our Weather Derivatives, the cash received would be classified as an operating activity in our consolidated statements of cash flows.
Property and Equipment	Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. We capitalize costs associated with the construction of new cable and mobile transmission and distribution facilities and the installation of new cable services. The nature and amount of labor and other costs to be capitalized with respect to construction and installation activities involves judgment. In addition to direct external and internal labor and materials, we also capitalize other costs directly attributable to our construction and installation activities, including dispatch costs, quality-control costs, vehicle-related costs and certain warehouse-related costs. The capitalization of these costs is based on time sheets, time studies, standard costs, call tracking systems and other verifiable means that directly link the costs incurred with the applicable capitalizable activity. We continuously monitor the appropriateness of our capitalization policies and update the policies when necessary to respond to changes in facts and circumstances, such as the development of new products and services and changes in the manner that installations or construction activities are performed. Installation activities that are capitalized include (i) the initial connection (or drop) from our cable system to a customer location, (ii) the replacement of a drop and (iii) the installation of equipment for additional services, such as digital cable, telephone or broadband internet service. The costs of other customer-facing activities, such as reconnecting and disconnecting customer locations and repairing or maintaining drops, are expensed as incurred. We capitalize internal and external costs directly associated with the development of internal-use software. Capitalized internal-use software is included as a component of property and equipment. We also capitalize costs associated with the purchase of software licenses. Costs associated with software obtained in a hosting arrangement are expensed over the life of the service contract, unless we have the right to take possession of the software at any time without significant penalty and it is feasible to run the software on our own hardware or contract with another party unrelated to the vendor to host the software. Maintenance and training costs, as well as costs incurred during the preliminary stage of an internal-use software development project, are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the underlying asset. Equipment under finance leases is amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset and is included in depreciation and amortization in our consolidated statements of operations. Useful lives used to depreciate our property and equipment are assessed periodically and are adjusted when warranted. The useful lives of cable and mobile distribution systems that are undergoing a rebuild are adjusted such that property and equipment to be retired will be fully depreciated by the time the rebuild is completed. For additional information regarding the useful lives of our property and equipment, see note 8. Additions, replacements and improvements that extend the asset life are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
Intangible Assets	Intangible Assets Our primary intangible assets relate to goodwill, customer relationships, spectrum licenses and cable television franchise rights. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Customer relationships, spectrum licenses and cable television franchise rights that are acquired in connection with a business combination are initially recorded at their fair values. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective estimated useful lives to their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment. We do not amortize our cable television franchise rights or spectrum licenses that have indefinite lives. Spectrum licenses provide us with the exclusive right to utilize a certain radio frequency spectrum to provide wireless communications services. While spectrum licenses are issued for only a fixed time (generally, 10 years), renewals of spectrum licenses occur routinely and at nominal cost. Moreover, we believe there are currently no significant legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors limiting the useful lives of most of our spectrum licenses, and therefore we generally treat these spectrum licenses as indefinite-lived intangible assets.
Impairment of Property and Equipment and Intangible Assets	Impairment of Property and Equipment and Intangible Assets When circumstances warrant, we review the carrying amounts of our property and equipment and our intangible assets (other than goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets) to determine whether such carrying amounts continue to be
Contract Assets, Deferred Contract Costs, Deferred Revenue and Revenue Recognition	Contract Assets When we transfer goods or services to a customer but do not have an unconditional right to payment, we record a contract asset. Contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables, net, in our consolidated balance sheet at the point in time we have the unconditional right to payment. Our aggregate contract assets were $142 million and $82 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The current and long-term portion of contract assets are included in other current assets, net, and other assets, net, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets. Deferred Contract Costs Incremental costs to obtain a contract with a customer, such as incremental sales commissions, are recognized as an asset and amortized to other operating costs and expenses over the applicable period benefited, which is the longer of the contract life or the economic life of the commission. If, however, the amortization period is one year or less, we expense such costs in the period incurred. Costs to obtain a contract that would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained are recognized as an expense when incurred. Our aggregate deferred contract costs were $39 million and $15 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The current and long-term portion of deferred contract costs are included in other current assets, net, and other assets, net, respectively, in our consolidated balance sheets. Deferred Revenue We record deferred revenue when we have received payment prior to transferring goods or services to a customer. Deferred revenue primarily relates to (i) advanced payments on fixed subscription services, mobile airtime services and long-term capacity contracts and (ii) deferred installation and other upfront fees. Our aggregate current and long-term deferred revenue as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $301 million and $380 million, respectively. The decrease in our current and long-term deferred revenue balances during 2021, primarily relates to amortization of long-term capacity contracts and the reclassification of amounts related to the Chile JV into liabilities associated with assets held for sale, which were partially offset by new contracts entered into during the year. Revenue Recognition We categorize revenue into two major categories: (i) residential revenue, which includes revenue from fixed and mobile services provided to residential customers, and (ii) B2B revenue, which includes B2B service and subsea network revenue. For additional information regarding our revenue by major category, see note 21. Our revenue recognition policies are as follows. General . Most of our fixed and mobile residential contracts are not enforceable or do not contain substantive early termination penalties. Accordingly, revenue relating to these customers is recognized on a basis consistent with customers that are not subject to contracts. We account for customer service revenue contracts that include both non-lease and lease components as a single component in all instances where the non-lease component is the predominant component of the arrangement and the other applicable criteria are met. Residential Fixed and B2B Service Revenue – Fixed Networks . We recognize revenue from video, broadband internet and fixed-line telephony services over our fixed networks to customers in the period the related residential fixed or B2B services are provided. Installation or other upfront fees related to services provided over our fixed networks are generally deferred and recognized as subscription revenue over the contractual period, or longer if the upfront fee results in a material renewal right. We defer upfront installation and certain nonrecurring fees received on B2B contracts where we maintain ownership of the installed equipment. The deferred fees are amortized into revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the arrangement or the expected period of performance. We may also sell video, broadband internet and fixed-line telephony services to our customers in bundled packages at a rate lower than if the customer purchased each product on a standalone basis. Arrangement consideration from bundled packages generally is allocated proportionally to the individual service based on the relative standalone price for each respective product or service. Mobile Revenue – General. Consideration from mobile contracts is allocated to airtime services and handset sales based on the relative standalone prices of each performance obligation. Mobile Revenue – Airtime Services. We recognize revenue from mobile services in the period the related services are provided. Payments received from prepay customers are recorded as deferred revenue prior to the commencement of services and are recognized as revenue as the services are rendered or usage rights expire. Mobile Revenue – Handset Revenue. Arrangement consideration allocated to handsets is recognized as revenue when the goods have been transferred to the customer. Mobile Revenue – Handset Insurance Revenue. We recognize revenue associated with handset insurance on a straight-line basis over the coverage period. B2B Subsea Network Revenue – Long-term Capacity Contracts. 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 December 31, 2021, we have approximately $360 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 six years. Government Funding Revenue. From time to time, we receive funds from the FCC, primarily in Puerto Rico, where funds were established in an effort to restore, expand and upgrade fixed and mobile networks in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We recognize funds granted from the FCC as other revenue in the period in which we are entitled to receive the funds, as the FCC does not meet the definition of a “customer.” Sales, Use and Other VAT . Revenue is recorded net of applicable sales, use and other value-added taxes.
Operating Leases	Operating Leases Our operating leases primarily consist of (i) property leases for mobile tower locations that generally have initial terms of five We classify leases with a term of greater than 12 months where substantially all risks and rewards incidental to ownership are retained by the third-party lessors as operating leases. We record a right-of-use asset and an operating lease liability at inception of the lease at the present value of the lease payments plus certain other payments, including variable lease payments and amounts probable of being owed by us under residual value guarantees. Payments made under operating leases, net of any incentives received from the lessors, are recognized to expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging operating leases are recognized to expense when incurred. Contingent rental payments are recognized to expense when incurred. Our right-of-use assets and non-current operating lease liabilities are included in other assets, net other long-term liabilities We use a credit-adjusted discount rate to measure our operating lease liabilities. We derive the discount rates associated with each of our borrowing groups starting with a risk free rate, generally the U.S. Treasury Bill rate. To determine credit risk, we create an industry benchmark CDS curve from an observable high-yield debt index using comparable telecommunication companies as a proxy. We then determine the maximum curve shift against this CDS curve derived from our own tradable debt within each borrowing group, and make adjustments to correct for the collateralized interest rate spread by comparing unsecured debt to asset-backed securities (secured debt) trades, which is based on the spread between the BB- and B+ industrial curves. We determine the discount factor from this adjusted curve for each borrowing group.
Income Taxes	Income Taxes The income taxes of Liberty Latin America are presented on a standalone basis, and each tax paying entity or group within Liberty Latin America is presented on a separate return basis. Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and income tax basis of assets and liabilities and the expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards, using enacted tax rates in effect for each taxing jurisdiction in which we operate for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. We recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more-likely-than-not, based on technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. Net deferred tax assets are then reduced by a valuation allowance if we believe it is more-likely-than-not that such net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Certain of our valuation allowances and tax uncertainties are associated with entities that we acquired in business combinations. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax liabilities related to investments in foreign entities and foreign corporate joint ventures that are essentially permanent in duration are not recognized until it becomes apparent that such amounts will reverse in the foreseeable future. In order to be considered essentially permanent in duration, sufficient evidence must indicate that the foreign entity has invested or will invest its undistributed earnings indefinitely, or that earnings will be remitted in a tax-free liquidation. Interest and penalties related to income tax liabilities are included in income tax benefit or expense in our consolidated statements of operations.
Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions	Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions The reporting currency of Liberty Latin America is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency of our foreign operations is the applicable local currency for each foreign entity. Assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries (including intercompany balances for which settlement is not anticipated in the foreseeable future) are translated at the spot rate in effect at the applicable reporting date. With the exception of certain material transactions, the amounts reported in our consolidated statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates in effect during the applicable period. The resulting unrealized cumulative translation adjustment, net of applicable income taxes, is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive earnings or loss in our consolidated statements of equity. With the exception of certain material transactions, the cash flows from our operations in foreign countries are translated at the average rate for the applicable period in our consolidated statements of cash flows. The impacts of material transactions generally are recorded at the applicable spot rates in our consolidated statements of operations and cash flows. The effect of exchange rates on cash balances held in foreign currencies are separately reported in our consolidated statements of cash flows. Transactions denominated in currencies other than our or our subsidiaries’ functional currencies are recorded based on exchange rates at the time such transactions arise. Changes in exchange rates with respect to amounts recorded in our consolidated balance sheets related to these non-functional currency transactions result in transaction gains and losses that are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations as unrealized (based on the applicable period end exchange rates) or realized upon settlement of the transactions.
Share-based Compensation	Share-based Compensation We recognize compensation expense associated with share-based incentive awards based on their grant-date fair values. The grant-date fair values for SARs and PSARs are estimated using the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model, and the grant-date fair values for RSUs and PSUs are based upon the closing market price of our stock on the date of grant. We may also settle annual bonus-related obligations in the form of equity. We use the liability-based method of accounting in such situations, as the equity to be issued is variable. We use the legal life of the award for the expected life of SARs granted to executives. For SARs granted to non-executives, the expected life is calculated using the “simplified method.” We believe the simplified method is appropriate for these awards as we do not have historical exercise data for periods prior to the Split-Off. The expected volatility of SARs is based on a weighted average calculation that may include (i) data from a comparable group of peer companies, (ii) Liberty Latin America’s share trading history and/or (iii) the implied volatility from traded LILA and LILAK options. We recognize the grant-date fair value of outstanding awards as a charge to operations over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period, and account for forfeitures as they occur. We use the straight-line method to recognize share-based compensation expense for share-based incentive awards that do not contain a performance condition and the accelerated expense attribution method for our share-based incentive awards that contain a performance condition and vest on a graded basis.
Earnings (Loss) per Share	Earnings (Loss) per Share Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to Liberty Latin America shareholders by the weighted average number of Liberty Latin America Shares during the years 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.
