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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for terms used throughout the condensed 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) LBT CT Communications, S.A. (a less than wholly-owned entity) and its subsidiaries, which include Liberty Servicios and, as of August 9, 2021 and as further described in note 4, Liberty Telecomunicaciones; and (iv) VTR. 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 C&W Panama; ii. Puerto Rico, through our reportable segment Liberty Puerto Rico; iii. Costa Rica, through our reportable segment Liberty Costa Rica; iv. Chile, through our reportable segment VTR; and B. through our reportable segment C&W Networks & LatAm, (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. As further described in note 8, we are accounting for the Chile JV Entities as "held for sale”. Consistent with the applicable guidance, we have not reflected reclassifications to exclude the Chile JV Entities from continuing operations in our condensed consolidated statements of operations or cash flows or related footnote disclosures. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, we completed the formation of the Chile JV. Unless otherwise indicated, ownership percentages are calculated as of September 30, 2022. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and with the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information required by U.S. GAAP or Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2021 Form 10-K. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates and assumptions are used in accounting for, among other things, the valuation of acquisition-related assets and liabilities, expected credit losses, programming and copyright expenses, deferred income taxes and related valuation allowances, loss contingencies, fair value measurements, impairment assessments, capitalization of internal costs associated with construction and installation activities, useful lives of long-lived assets and actuarial liabilities associated with certain benefit plans. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Correction of Immaterial Errors We identified certain errors in our previously reported consolidated financial statements, primarily related to revenue, programming and other direct costs of services, trade receivables, note receivables, other assets, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets and asset impairments. We have completed a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the errors and concluded that they are immaterial to the previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements. Notwithstanding this evaluation, we have revised (i) our December 31, 2021 consolidated balance sheet, (ii) our consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive earnings, and equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and (iii) our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 for these errors. The tables below set forth the adjustments to the primary condensed consolidated financial statement line items resulting from these adjustments: Three months ended September 30, 2021 Nine months ended September 30, 2021 As Previously Reported Adjustments As Adjusted As Previously Reported Adjustments As Adjusted in millions Revenue $ 1,192.0 $ 4.3 $ 1,196.3 $ 3,519.9 $ 14.3 $ 3,534.2 Operating income $ 137.4 $ (1.4) $ 136.0 $ 475.8 $ 9.2 $ 485.0 Earnings before income taxes $ 113.1 $ (1.4) $ 111.7 $ 269.5 $ 9.2 $ 278.7 Net earnings attributable to Liberty Latin America shareholders $ 78.2 $ (2.1) $ 76.1 $ 170.4 $ 3.6 $ 174.0 December 31, 2021 As Previously Reported Adjustments As Adjusted in millions Current assets $ 2,066.2 $ (14.3) $ 2,051.9 Total assets $ 15,386.0 $ (20.3) $ 15,365.7 Total liabilities $ 12,472.6 $ (4.3) $ 12,468.3 Total equity $ 2,913.4 $ (16.0) $ 2,897.4

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Accounting Changes 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. We adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022 and it did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2022-04 In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs ( ASU 2022-04) , which requires that a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose certain information about the program to allow financial statement users to understand the nature of the program, activity during the period and changes to the program from period to period. The disclosure requirements include (i) the key terms of the program, including payments terms, (ii) the amount and location in the balance sheet of obligations outstanding with the finance provider or intermediary, and (iii) a rollforward of the obligations during the annual period. With the exception of the rollforward disclosure requirements, ASU 2022-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The rollforward information is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2022-04 will have to the disclosures of our consolidated financial statements. 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 the 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. In March 2021, LIBOR’s regulator announced that certain tenors of USD LIBOR will continue to be published through June 30, 2023. We do not currently expect that the phase out of LIBOR will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions 2022 Acquisition 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. On July 1, 2022, we completed the acquisition of Claro Panama, which was financed through a combination of debt and existing cash. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the stated purchase price to the net cash paid (in millions): Stated purchase price $ 200.0 Preliminary working capital adjustments 12.6 Total purchase price 212.6 Opening balance sheet cash (1.2) Net cash paid for the Claro Panama Acquisition $ 211.4 We have accounted for the Claro Panama 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 Claro Panama 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 includ e property and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets, leases and income taxes. A summary of the purchase price and the preliminary opening balance sheet of Claro Panama at the July 1, 2022 acquisition date is presented in the following table (in millions): Current assets $ 42.8 Goodwill (a) 16.5 Property and equipment 139.6 Intangible assets subject to amortization (b) 49.8 Other assets (c) 130.6 Current liabilities (48.1) Long-term liabilities (d) (118.6) Total purchase price $ 212.6 (a) The goodwill recognized in connection with the Claro Panama Acquisition is primarily attributable to synergies that are expected to be achieved through the integration of Claro Panama with Liberty Latin America’s existing business in Panama. Due to the nature of the Claro Panama Acquisition, no tax deductions related to goodwill are expected. (b) At July 1, 2022, the preliminary assessment of the weighted average useful life of the spectrum intangible assets was approximately 6 years. (c) Primarily consists of operating lease right-of-use assets. (d) Primarily consists of the non-current portion of operating lease obligations. Our condensed consolidated statements of operations for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 include revenue and net loss of $35 million and $7 million, respectively, attributable to Claro Panama. 2021 Acquisition Liberty Telecomunicaciones 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 Liberty Telecomunicaciones. The Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition was financed through a combination of debt, existing cash and a $47 million equity contribution from the noncontrolling interest owner of our Liberty Servicios entity. During the first quarter of 2022, we finalized the purchase price for the Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition, which resulted in a reduction in total consideration paid of $12 million. The proceeds received from the final purchase price adjustments have been reflected as an investing activity in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. We have accounted for the Liberty Telecomunicaciones 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 Liberty Telecomunicaciones 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 the opening balance sheet of Liberty Telecomunicaciones at the August 9, 2021 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) $ 74.7 Goodwill (b) 256.7 Property and equipment 150.6 Intangible assets subject to amortization (c) 139.9 Other assets (d) 145.7 Current liabilities (e) (74.2) Long-term liabilities (f) (168.3) Total purchase price $ 525.1 (a) Primarily consists of trade receivables, notes receivables related to EIP receivables and cash. (b) The goodwill recognized in connection with the Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition is primarily attributable to (i) the ability to take advantage of Liberty Telecomunicaciones’s existing mobile network to gain immediate access to potential customers, and (ii) synergies that are expected to be achieved through the integration of Liberty Telecomunicaciones with Liberty Latin America’s existing business in Costa Rica, Liberty Servicios. Due to the nature of the Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition, no tax deductions related to goodwill are expected. (c) At August 9, 2021, 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) Primarily consists of operating lease right-of-use assets and the long-term portion of note receivables related to EIP receivables. (e) Primarily consists of accounts payable and the current portion of operating lease obligations. (f) Primarily consists of the non-current portion of operating lease obligations and deferred tax liabilities. 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 is included in our Liberty Puerto Rico reportable segment.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments	Derivative Instruments In general, we enter into derivative instruments to mitigate risk associated with (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 condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table provides details of the fair values of our derivative instrument assets and liabilities: September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Current (a) Long-term (a) Total Current (a) Long-term (a) Total in millions Assets (b): Cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts (c) $ 67.6 $ 261.1 $ 328.7 $ 15.1 $ 25.3 $ 40.4 Foreign currency forward contracts — — — 0.1 — 0.1 Total $ 67.6 $ 261.1 $ 328.7 $ 15.2 $ 25.3 $ 40.5 Liabilities (b): Cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts (c) $ 24.2 $ 0.2 $ 24.4 $ 33.3 $ 62.1 $ 95.4 Foreign currency forward contracts 15.5 — 15.5 5.8 — 5.8 Total $ 39.7 $ 0.2 $ 39.9 $ 39.1 $ 62.1 $ 101.2 (a) Our current derivative assets, long-term derivative assets, current derivative liabilities and long-term derivative liabilities are included in other current assets, net, other assets, net, other accrued and current liabilities and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. (b) Effective with the agreement to form the Chile JV, the derivative assets and liabilities associated with the Chile JV Entities are included in assets held for sale and liabilities associated with assets held for sale, respectively, on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. For information regarding the formation of the Chile JV and the held-for-sale presentation of the Chile JV Entities, see note 8. (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 9) and are recorded in realized and unrealized gains on derivative instruments, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For further information regarding our fair value measurements, see note 6. The derivative assets set forth in the table above exclude our Weather Derivatives as they are not accounted for at fair value. The premium payments associated with our Weather Derivatives are included in other current assets, net, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The details of our realized and unrealized gains on derivative instruments, net, are as follows: Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 in millions Cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts (a) $ 159.3 $ 285.1 $ 417.8 $ 464.2 Foreign currency forward contracts (16.0) 15.4 (9.3) 20.1 Weather Derivatives (7.9) (8.5) (23.5) (20.1) Total $ 135.4 $ 292.0 $ 385.0 $ 464.2 (a) Changes in the credit risk valuation adjustments associated with our cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts resulted in net losses of $5 million and $15 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $14 million and $44 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Included in these amounts are net losses of $3 million and $12 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $3 million and $29 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to the Chile JV Entities. The following table sets forth the classification of the net cash inflows (outflows) of our derivative instruments: Nine months ended September 30, 2022 2021 in millions Operating activities $ (30.9) $ (109.0) Investing activities 5.3 (2.0) Financing activities (a) 97.6 (43.0) Total $ 72.0 $ (154.0) (a) The 2022 amount is primarily related to the settlement of certain cross currency swaps at VTR. 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. For additional information regarding our debt refinancing activity, see note 9. 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 September 30, 2022, our exposure to counterparty credit risk associated with our derivative instruments, as set forth in the assets and liabilities table above, included derivative assets with an aggregate fair value of $302 million. Each of our borrowing groups has entered into derivative instruments under agreements with each counterparty that contain master netting arrangements that are applicable in the event of early termination by either party to such derivative instrument. The master netting arrangements under each of these master agreements are limited to the derivative instruments governed by the relevant master agreement within each individual borrowing group and are independent of similar arrangements of our other subsidiary borrowing groups. Details of our Derivative Instruments Cross-currency Derivative Contracts As noted above, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risk in situations where our debt is denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the operations whose cash flows support our ability to service, repay or refinance such debt. Although we generally seek to match the denomination of our borrowings with the functional currency of the operations that are supporting the respective borrowings, market conditions or other factors may cause us to enter into borrowing arrangements that are not denominated in the functional currency of the underlying operations (unmatched debt). Our policy is generally to provide for an economic hedge against foreign currency exchange rate movements, whenever possible and when cost effective to do so, by using derivative instruments to synthetically convert unmatched debt into the applicable underlying currency. At September 30, 2022, not including derivative instruments held by the Chile JV Entities, we did not have any cross-currency swap contracts outstanding. Interest Rate Derivative Contracts Interest Rate Swaps As noted above, we enter into interest rate swaps to mitigate risk associated with 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 September 30, 2022: Borrowing group Notional amount due from counterparty Weighted average remaining life in millions in years C&W (a) $ 2,690.0 4.6 Liberty Puerto Rico $ 500.0 6.0 Liberty Costa Rica (b) $ 276.7 1.3 (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 September 30, 2022: Borrowing group Notional amount due from counterparty Weighted average remaining life in millions in years C&W $ 2,100.0 0.8 Liberty Puerto Rico $ 620.0 0.8 Interest Rate Floors Interest rate floors provide protection against interest rates falling below a pre-set level. At September 30, 2022, our Liberty Puerto Rico borrowing group had an interest rate floor with a total notional amount of $620 million and a remaining contractual life of 6.0 years. Interest Rate Caps Interest rate caps provide protection against interest rates rising above a pre-set level. At September 30, 2022, our Liberty Puerto Rico borrowing group had interest rate caps with total notional amounts of $120 million and a remaining weighted average contractual life of 6.0 years. 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 September 30, 2022: 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 $ 88.3 0.0 Liberty Costa Rica borrowing group $ 37.5 CRC 25,585.2 0.1 (a) Represents a foreign currency forward contract entered into in connection with the Chile JV transaction that was closed subsequent to September 30, 2022, as discussed further in note 8.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2022
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. 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 generally occurs at the maturity of the derivative instrument or at the time of the repayment or refinancing of the underlying debt instrument. U.S. GAAP provides for a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. Recurring Fair Value Measurements Derivatives In order to manage our interest rate and foreign currency exchange risk, we have entered into various derivative instruments, as further described in note 5. The recurring fair value measurements of these derivative instruments are determined using discounted cash flow models. Most of the inputs to these discounted cash flow models consist of, or are derived from, observable Level 2 data for substantially the full term of these derivative instruments. This observable data mostly includes interest rate futures and swap rates, which are retrieved or derived from available market data. Although we may extrapolate or interpolate this data, we do not otherwise alter this data in performing our valuations. We incorporate a credit risk valuation adjustment in our fair value measurements to estimate the impact of both our own nonperformance risk and the nonperformance risk of our counterparties. Our and our counterparties’ credit spreads represent our most significant Level 3 inputs, and these inputs are used to derive the credit risk valuation adjustments with respect to these instruments. 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. Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements Fair value measurements may also be used for purposes of non-recurring valuations performed in connection with our acquisition accounting and impairment assessments. Acquisition Accounting The nonrecurring valuations associated with acquisition accounting, which use significant unobservable inputs and therefore fall under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, primarily include the valuation of 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, or a combination of 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 the third quarter of 2022, we performed certain nonrecurring valuations related to the preliminary acquisition accounting for the Claro Panama Acquisition. For information related to the status of valuation work associated with assets acquired in connection with the Claro Panama Acquisition, see note 4. During the second quarter of 2022, we finalized our acquisition accounting for the Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition, which did not result in any material changes to our opening balance sheet. For additional information relating to the opening balance sheet associated with the Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition, 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 During the second quarter of 2022, primarily due to significant increases in interest rates, we performed goodwill impairment analyses of all of our reporting units. 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 an appropriate discount rate. 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 7% to 15% in the valuation of the various reporting units. Based upon the results of the aforementioned analysis, we recognized impairment charges associated with certain reporting units of our C&W Caribbean segment. For additional information regarding goodwill impairment charges resulting from these impairment analyses, see note 7. Other During the third quarter of 2021, we recorded a $41 million impairment charge in connection with an impairment assessment of a cost basis investment.

Long-lived Assets	Long-lived Assets Goodwill Changes in the carrying amount of our goodwill are set forth below: January 1, Acquisitions Foreign Impairment September 30, in millions C&W Caribbean $ 1,787.0 $ (11.5) $ 5.0 $ (555.3) $ 1,225.2 C&W Panama 617.1 16.5 — — 633.6 C&W Networks & LatAm 646.9 11.5 (3.0) — 655.4 Liberty Puerto Rico 498.3 0.4 — — 498.7 Liberty Costa Rica 398.7 (3.8) 8.8 — 403.7 Total $ 3,948.0 $ 13.1 $ 10.8 $ (555.3) $ 3,416.6 During the second quarter of 2022, we recorded a $555 million impairment of goodwill within certain reporting units of our C&W Caribbean segment. This impairment was driven primarily by macroeconomic factors, including higher interest rates, that drove an increase in the discount rates used to value these reporting units. After recording these impairments, the associated reporting units have $496 million of goodwill remaining at September 30, 2022. If, among other factors, (i) our equity values were to decline significantly, (ii) we experienced additional adverse impacts associated with macroeconomic factors, including increases in our estimated weighted average cost of capital, or (iii) the adverse impacts stemming from competition, economic, regulatory or other factors were to cause our results of operations or cash flows to be worse than currently anticipated, we could conclude in future periods that additional impairment charges of certain reporting units are required in order to reduce the carrying values of goodwill. Any such impairment charges could be significant. Our accumulated goodwill impairments were $2,784 million and $2,229 million as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. During the third quarter of 2022, we changed our annual goodwill impairment testing date from October 1 to July 1 of each year. This change did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, we completed the formation of the Chile JV. During October 2022, and in connection with the closing on the formation of the Chile JV, we made a balancing payment to América Móvil totaling $76 million. The transaction did not trigger a change of control under VTR’s debt agreements, and was not subject to Liberty Latin America or América Móvil shareholder approvals. Beginning in October 2022, we will 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 of the 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 are summarized below: September 30, December 31, in millions Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 63.0 $ 109.7 Other current assets, net (a) 104.4 132.6 Property and equipment, net 697.5 686.0 Goodwill 275.6 313.0 Other assets, net (a) 259.1 327.4 Total assets $ 1,399.6 $ 1,568.7 Liabilities: Current portion of debt $ 72.4 $ 82.2 Other accrued and current liabilities (b) 210.1 294.2 Long-term debt (c) 1,330.9 1,416.8 Other long-term liabilities (b) 55.1 60.9 Total liabilities $ 1,668.5 $ 1,854.1 (a) Other current assets, net includes $15 million and $27 million, respectively, and other assets, net, includes $211 million and $277 million, respectively, related to derivative assets.

At September 30, 2022, 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 September 30, 2022 compliance reporting requirements. At September 30, 2022, 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. (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 a discount recorded in connection with the value ascribed to the instrument’s conversion option. At September 30, 2022, the carrying value of the Convertible Notes was $370 million and the unamortized debt discount on the Convertible Notes was $31 million. (e) The C&W Credit Facilities unused borrowing capacity comprise certain U.S. dollar, Trinidad & Tobago dollar and Jamaican dollar revolving credit facilities. (f) The Liberty Costa Rica Credit Facilities comprise certain Costa Rican colón and U.S. dollar term loans and a U.S. dollar revolving credit facility. (g) Primarily 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 $116 million and $82 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, 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 condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Repayments of vendor financing obligations are included in payments of principal amounts of debt and finance lease obligations in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Financing Activity In the tables below, non-cash activity relates to cash borrowed that did not pass through our bank accounts, as financing proceeds from the issuance of debt were used to directly repay some or all of outstanding debt instruments within the same borrowing group.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Unfulfilled Performance Obligations	Unfulfilled Performance Obligations We enter into certain long-term capacity contracts with customers where the customer either pays a fixed fee over time or prepays for the capacity upfront and pays a portion related to operating and maintenance of the network over time. We assess whether prepaid capacity contracts contain a significant financing component. If the financing component is significant, interest expense is accreted over the life of the contract using the effective interest method. The revenue associated with prepaid capacity contracts is deferred and generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract. As of September 30, 2022, we have approximately $325 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 5 years.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes We evaluate and update our estimated annual effective income tax rate on a quarterly basis based on current and forecasted operating results and tax laws. For interim tax reporting, we estimate an annual effective tax rate that is applied to year-to-date ordinary income or loss. The tax effects of significant unusual or infrequently occurring items are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate calculation and recognized in the interim period in which they occur. Our interim estimate of our annual effective tax rate and our interim tax provision are subject to volatility due to factors such as jurisdictions in which our deferred taxes and/or tax attributes are subject to a full valuation allowance, relative changes in unrecognized tax benefits and changes in tax laws. Based upon the mix and timing of our actual annual earnings or loss compared to annual projections, as well as changes in the factors noted above, our effective tax rate may vary quarterly and may make quarterly comparisons not meaningful. Income tax expense was $39 million and $40 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $102 million and $111 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. This represents an effective income tax rate of (32.1%) and (35.6%) for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and 43.4% and (39.7%) for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, including items treated discretely. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the income tax expense attributable to our earnings (loss) before income taxes differs from the amounts computed using the statutory tax rate, primarily due to the detrimental effects of non-deductible goodwill impairment, negative effects of permanent tax differences, such as non-deductible expenses, tax effect of the enactment of a Barbados Pandemic Contribution Levy, and inclusion of withholding taxes on cross-border payments. These negative impacts to our effective tax rate were partially offset by the beneficial effects of permanent tax differences, such as non-taxable income and net decreases in valuation allowances. Additionally, for the three months ended September 30, 2022, income tax expense reflects the detrimental effects of international rate differences and for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, income tax expense reflects the beneficial effects of international rate differences.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings or Loss Per Share	Earnings or Loss Per Share Basic EPS is computed by dividing net earnings or loss attributable to Liberty Latin America shareholders by the weighted average number of Liberty Latin America Shares outstanding during the periods presented, as further described below. Diluted EPS presents the dilutive effect, if any, on a per share basis of potential shares as if they had been exercised, vested or converted at the beginning of the periods presented. The details of our weighted average shares outstanding are set forth below: Three months ended September 30, Nine months ended September 30, 2022 2021 2022 2021 Weighted average shares outstanding: Basic 220,186,543 232,801,996 224,414,274 233,059,215 Diluted 240,551,950 253,429,864 224,414,274 233,871,985 The details of the calculations of our basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and the nine months ended September 30, 2021 are set forth below (in millions, except for share amounts): Three months ended September 30, 2022 Three months ended September 30, 2021 Nine months ended September 30, 2021 Numerator: Net earnings attributable to holders of Liberty Latin America Shares (basic EPS computation) $ 84.1 $ 76.1 $ 174.0 Add back: interest expense and amortization of deferred financing costs and premiums associated with Convertible Notes (if-converted method) 6.3 6.0 — Net earnings attributable to holders of Liberty Latin America Shares (basic and diluted EPS computation) $ 90.4 $ 82.1 $ 174.0 Denominator: Weighted average shares (basic EPS computation) 220,186,543 232,801,996 233,059,215 Incremental shares attributable to an employee stock purchase plan and the release of PSUs and RSUs upon vesting (treasury stock method) 871,728 1,134,189 812,770 Number of shares issuable under our Convertible Notes (if-converted method) (a) 19,493,679 19,493,679 — Weighted average shares (diluted EPS computation) (b) 240,551,950 253,429,864 233,871,985 (a) With regards to the aggregate number of shares potentially issuable under our Convertible Notes, the Capped Calls provide 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. (b) For the 2022 period, we have excluded (i) the aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options, SARs, and RSUs of 35.1 million, and (ii) the aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding PSARs of 8.5 million, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to the computation. For the 2021 periods, we have excluded (i) the aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options, SARs, and RSUs of 19.9 million, (ii) the aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding PSARs and PSUs of 8.2 million and (iii) for the nine-month period, using the if-converted method, the aggregate number of shares potentially issuable under our Convertible Notes of 19.5 million, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to the computation or, in the case of certain PSUs and PSARs, because such awards had not yet met the applicable performance criteria. We reported a net loss attributable to Liberty Latin America shareholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The potentially dilutive effect at September 30, 2022 of the following items was not included in the computation of diluted loss per share for such period because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive to the computation: (i) the aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding options, SARs and RSUs of 35.8 million, and (ii) the aggregate number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding PSUs and PSARs of

Equity [Abstract]
Equity	Equity Share Repurchase Programs On March 16, 2020, our Directors approved the 2020 Share Repurchase Program, which authorized 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. On February 22, 2022, our Directors approved the 2022 Share Repurchase Program. This 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. The 2022 Share Repurchase Program does not obligate us to repurchase any of our Class A or C common shares. Under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program, we may repurchase our common shares in open market purchases at prevailing market prices, in privately negotiated transactions, in block trades, derivative transactions and/or through other legally permissible means. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we repurchased 2,653,800 and 14,281,000 Class A and Class C common shares, respectively, under the Share Repurchase Programs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we repurchased 2,169,700 Class A common shares. At September 30, 2022, the remaining amount authorized for share repurchases under the 2022 Share Repurchase Program was $74 million . Contribution from noncontrolling interest owners During the third quarter of 2021, we received an equity contribution of $47 million from the noncontrolling interest owner of our Liberty Servicios entity, the proceeds of which were used to partially fund the Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition. This contribution represented their pro-rata share of the equity portion of the purchase price for the Liberty Telecomunicaciones Acquisition, and has been reflected as a contribution from noncontrolling interest owners in our condensed consolidated statements of equity and as a financing activity in our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

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. We believe that the allegations are without merit, in particular as it relates to VTR’s service and response during the pandemic. See note 8 regarding the closing of the Chile JV subsequent to September 30, 2022. 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

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, fixed-line telephony and mobile services. Our corporate category includes our corporate operations, which derive revenue from mobile handset insurance services. We generally identify our reportable segments as those operating segments that represent 10% or more of our revenue, Adjusted OIBDA or total assets. During the third quarter of 2022, we completed an organizational change with respect to our C&W operations whereby management of certain subsidiaries of C&W, which primarily operate our subsea and fiber optic cable networks, now report directly to the Senior Vice President, Infrastructure and Corporate Strategy of Liberty Latin America and no longer report to the former C&W Caribbean and Networks segment decision maker. As a result, the aforementioned subsidiaries of C&W are now a separate operating and reportable segment, herein referred to as the C&W Networks & LatAm segment. In connection with this change, we have revised our segment presentation for all periods to separately present (i) C&W Caribbean and (ii) C&W Networks & LatAm. Accordingly, a s of September 30, 2022, our reportable segments are as follows: • C&W Caribbean; • C&W Panama; • C&W Networks & LatAm; • Liberty Puerto Rico; • Liberty Costa Rica; and • VTR. 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. We account for intersegment sales as if they were to third parties, that is, at current market prices. 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 or loss and to earnings or 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.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Accounting Changes 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. We adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022 and it did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements ASU 2022-04 In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs ( ASU 2022-04) , which requires that a buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose certain information about the program to allow financial statement users to understand the nature of the program, activity during the period and changes to the program from period to period. The disclosure requirements include (i) the key terms of the program, including payments terms, (ii) the amount and location in the balance sheet of obligations outstanding with the finance provider or intermediary, and (iii) a rollforward of the obligations during the annual period. With the exception of the rollforward disclosure requirements, ASU 2022-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The rollforward information is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. We are currently evaluating the impact ASU 2022-04 will have to the disclosures of our consolidated financial statements. 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 the 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. In March 2021, LIBOR’s regulator announced that certain tenors of USD LIBOR will continue to be published through June 30, 2023. We do not currently expect that the phase out of LIBOR will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
