Introduction | Introduction Corporate Information Millicom International Cellular S.A. (the “Company” or “MIC S.A.”), a Luxembourg Société Anonyme, and its subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates (the “Group” or “Millicom”) is an international telecommunications and media group providing digital lifestyle services in emerging markets, through mobile and fixed telephony, cable, broadband, Pay-TV in Latin America (Latam). The Company’s shares are traded as Swedish Depositary Receipts on the Stockholm stock exchange under the symbol TIGO_SDB (formerly MIC SDB) and, since January 9, 2019, on the Nasdaq Stock Market in the U.S. under the ticker symbol TIGO. The Company has its registered office at 2, Rue du Fort Bourbon, L-1249 Luxembourg, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and is registered with the Luxembourg Register of Commerce under the number RCS B 40 630. On February 24, 2023, the Board of Directors authorized these consolidated financial statements for issuance. Business activities Millicom operates its mobile businesses in Latin America (Bolivia, Colombia, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama and Paraguay). Millicom operates various cable and fixed line businesses in Latin America (Bolivia, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama and Paraguay). Millicom also provides direct to home satellite service in most of its markets. Our Group Segment include our Honduras joint venture as if it were fully consolidated, as this reflects the way management reviews and uses internally reported information to make decisions (see note B.3. Segmental information). The Group Segment figures also include our operations in Guatemala fully consolidated for comparative periods. On November 12, 2021, Millicom announced that it has closed the previously-announced agreement to acquire the remaining 45% equity interest in its joint venture business in Guatemala (collectively, "Tigo Guatemala"). As a result, Millicom owns 100% equity interest in Tigo Guatemala and fully consolidates it since that date. As a result, the statements of income, cash flows and financial position in these consolidated financial statements might not be directly comparable with previous years' figures. Millicom also provides Mobile Financial Services (MFS) and holds small minority investments in other businesses such as micro-insurance (Milvik). Current macroeconomic environment Inflation in many countries globally has been rising for the past several months due to a variety of factors, including significant disruptions to the global production and distribution of energy and food commodities caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine as well as the global response to that invasion. As a result, global economic prospects have been severely affected, including in our Latin America markets. During the last semester of 2022, the Group took meaningful steps to mitigate the impact of rising inflation, including the implementation of numerous price increases and establishing cost savings initiative programs, which will position it to sustain healthy service revenue growth and margins going forward. Although the macro-economic backdrop has become more challenging, business and financial performance through 2022 is broadly in line with our plans. The Group continues to monitor the developments of the aforementioned events and their potential impact on performance and accounting considerations. When it comes to COVID-19, as of December 31, 2022, and for the year ended December 31, 2022, management did not identify any significant adverse accounting effects as a result of the pandemic. Climate-related risks As already publicly announced and discussed elsewhere in our external reporting, our goal is to raise the bar on the Group’s contribution on environmental, societal and governance matters. In particular, we have committed to short-term goals validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We are also committed to the long-term goal of net zero emissions by or before 2050. Although there is no single explicit standard on climate-related matters under IFRS, climate risk and other climate-related matters may impact a number of areas of accounting. Up to now, the Group has not been significantly impacted by climate change, and, currently, Management has not considered the climate-related risks as part of the Group's top twelve key risks. Nevertheless, Management will continue monitoring every year the potential risks resulting from the effects of climate change in the form of natural disasters, such as extreme weather events affecting our 'Networks and infrastructure resilience'. So far, Management has not identified nor considered any material impacts of climate change on assumptions used (e.g. for impairment tests, fair value measurement, etc.) and on the Group's financial reporting (e.g. provisions, fixed assets, etc.). IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements Basis of preparation These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the IASB (IFRS). They are also compliant with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union. This is in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of July 19, 2002, on the application of international accounting standards for listed companies domiciled in the European Union. The financial statements have been prepared on an historical cost basis, except for certain items including derivative financial instruments (measured at fair value) and financial instruments that contain obligations to purchase own equity instruments (measured at the present value of the redemption price). This section contains the Group’s significant accounting policies that relate to the financial statements as a whole. Significant accounting policies specific to one note are included within that note. Accounting policies relating to non-material items are not included in these financial statements. Consolidation The consolidated financial statements of the Group comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31 of each year. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting year as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses, and profits and losses resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated. Foreign currency Financial information in these financial statements are shown in the US dollar presentation currency of the Group and rounded to the nearest million (US$ million) except where otherwise indicated. The financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates (the functional currency). The functional currency of each subsidiary, joint venture and associate reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances of these entities. Except for El Salvador where the functional currency is US dollar, the functional currency in other countries is the local currency. The results and financial position of all Group entities (none of which operate in an economy with a hyperinflationary environment) with functional currency other than the US dollar presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: (i) Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate on the date of the statement of financial position; (ii) Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and (iii) All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity (currency translation reserve), in the caption “Other reserves”. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of net investments in foreign operations, and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recorded in equity. When the Group disposes of or loses control or significant influence over a foreign operation, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as part of gain or loss on sale or loss of control and/or significant influence. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate. The following table presents functional currency translation rates for the Group’s locations to the US dollar on December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 and the average rates for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020.

New and amended IFRS accounting standards The following changes to standards have been adopted by the Group and did not have any significant impact on the Group’s accounting policies or disclosures and did not require retrospective adjustments: ◦ IFRS 3 'Business Combinations' - Reference to Conceptual Framework. ◦ IAS 16 'Property, Plant and Equipment' - Proceeds before intended use. ◦ IAS 37 'Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets' - Cost of fulfilling a contract. ◦ Annual improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020, affecting IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 41. Amendments effective for annual periods starting on or after January 1, 2023 that are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group consolidated financial statements: ◦ Amendments to IAS 1, 'Disclosure of Accounting Policies' that are intended to help preparers in deciding which accounting policies to disclose in their financial statements. ◦ IAS 8, 'Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors' - Definition of accounting estimates. ◦ Amendments to IAS 12, 'Income Taxes: Deferred tax related to Assets and liabilities arising from a Single Transaction' - These amendments clarify that the initial recognition exception does not apply to the initial recognition of leases and decommissioning obligations. These amendments apply prospectively to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. In addition, an entity should apply the amendments for the first time by recognizing deferred tax for all temporary differences related to leases and decommissioning obligations at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. The Group has been applying the so-called "Linked transaction approach" in the calculation of deferred taxes related to leases and asset retirement obligation (ARO) since the adoption of IFRS 16 (in compliance with these amendments). Therefore, the adoption of these amendments will not have an impact for the Group. The following changes to standards are effective for annual periods starting on January 1, 2024 and their potential impact on the Group consolidated financial statements is currently being assessed by Management: ▪ Amendments to IFRS 16 'Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback' (not yet endorsed by the EU) - The amendment specifies the requirements that a seller-lessee uses in measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction, to ensure the seller-lessee does not recognize any amount of the gain or loss that relates to the right of use it retains. ▪ Amendments to IAS 1, 'Presentation of Financial Statements' (not yet endorsed by the EU): These amendments aim to improve the information an entity provides when its right to defer settlement of a liability is subject to compliance with covenants within twelve months after the reporting period. Judgments and critical estimates The preparation of IFRS financial statements requires management to use judgment in applying accounting policies. It also requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are based on management's best knowledge of current events, actions and best estimates as of a specified date, and actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates. Areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in each note and are summarized below: Judgments Management apply judgment in accounting treatment and accounting policies in preparation of these financial statements. In particular, a significant level of judgment is applied regarding the following items: • Acquisitions – measurement at fair value of existing and newly identified assets, including the measurement of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (e.g. particularly the customer lists being sensitive to significant assumptions as disclosed in note A.1.2.), liabilities, contingent liabilities and remaining goodwill; the assessment of useful lives (see notes A.1.2., E.1.1., E.1.5., E.2.1.); • Impairment testing – key assumptions related to future business performance, perpetual growth rates and discount rates (see notes E.1.2., E.1.6., E.2.2.); • Revenue recognition – whether or not the Group acts as principal or as an agent, when there is one or several performance obligations and the determination of stand-alone selling prices (see note B.1.1.); • Contingent liabilities – whether or not a provision should be recorded for any potential liabilities (see note G.3.); • Leases – In determining the lease term, including the assessment of whether the exercise of extension or termination options is reasonably certain and the corresponding impact on the selected lease term (see note E.3.); • Control – whether Millicom, through voting rights and potential voting rights attached to shares held, or by way of shareholders’ agreements or other factors, has the ability to direct the relevant activities of the subsidiaries it consolidates, or jointly direct the relevant activities of its joint ventures (see notes A.1., A.2.); • Discontinued operations and assets held for sale – definition, classification and presentation (see notes A.4., E.4.1.) as well as measurement of potential provisions related to indemnities; • Deferred tax assets – recognition based on likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning strategies (see notes B.6.3.and G.3.2.); • Defined benefit obligations – key assumptions related to life expectancies, salary increases and leaving rates, mainly related to UNE Colombia (see note B.4.3.). Estimates Estimates are based on historical experience and other factors, including reasonable expectations of future events, such as current macro-economic challenges. These factors are reviewed in preparation of the financial statements although, due to inherent uncertainties in the evaluation process, actual results may differ from original estimates. Estimates are subject to change as new information becomes available and may significantly affect future operating results. Significant estimates have been applied in respect of the following items: • Accounting for property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets in determining fair values at acquisition dates, particularly for assets acquired in business combinations and sale and leaseback transactions (see notes A.1.and E.2.1.); • Useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets (see notes E.1.1., E.2.1.); • Provisions, in particular provisions for asset retirement obligations, legal and tax risks (see note F.4.); • Tax liabilities, in particular in respect of uncertainty over income tax treatments (see note F.4.); • Revenue recognition (see note B.1.1.); • Impairment testing including weighted average cost of capital ("WACC"), EBITDA margins, Capex intensity and long term growth rates (see note E.1.6.); • For leases, estimates in determining the incremental borrowing rate for discounting the lease payments in case interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be determined (see note E.3. ); • Estimates for defined benefit obligations (see note B.4.2.); |

(i) Acquisition completed on December 13, 2018. Telecomunicaciones Digitales, S.A. (formerly Cable Onda S.A.) is fully consolidated as Millicom has the majority of voting shares to direct the relevant activities. See note A.1.2.. (ii) Companies acquired during 2019. See note A.1.2.. (iii) Fully consolidated as Millicom has the majority of voting shares to direct the relevant activities. (iv) Acquisition completed on November 12, 2021(see Note A.1.2.). Millicom now owns 100% equity interest in Tigo Guatemala compared to 55% before the transaction. While Millicom owned more than 50% of the shares in these entities and had the right to nominate a majority of the directors of each of these entities, key decisions over the relevant activities were taken by a super majority vote. This effectively gave either shareholder the ability to veto any decision and therefore neither shareholder had sole control over the entity. Therefore, the operations of these joint ventures were accounted for under the equity method. See note A.2.1.. (v) Tigo Guatemala is made up of the 2 entities in the table above, but also by the following less material entities: Comunicaciones Corporativas S.A. (“COMCORP”), Servicios Innovadores de Comunicación y Entretenimiento S.A. (“SICESA”), Distribuidora de Comunicaciones de Occidente S.A. (“COOCSA”), Distribuidora de Comunicaciones de Oriente S.A. (“COORSA”), Distribuidora Internacional de Comunicaciones S.A. (“INTERNACOM”), Servicios Especializados en Telecomunicaciones S.A. (“SESTEL”), Distribuidora Central de Comunicaciones, S.A. (“COCENSA”) and Cloud 2 Nube S.A. ("C2N"). Scope changes 2022 As of June 14, 2022, the Group received the formal notification from the minority shareholders of Telecomunicaciones Digitales, S.A (formerly Cable Onda S.A.) confirming the exercise of their put option right to sell their remaining 20% shareholding to Millicom for an amount of approximately $290 million. The transaction was closed on June 29, 2022 and the payment was applied against the already recorded put option liability of $290 million. As a result, the non-controlling interests' carrying value of $78 million have been transferred to the Group's equity. Scope changes 2021 On November 12, 2021, Millicom announced that it has closed the previously-announced agreement to acquire the remaining 45% equity interest in its joint venture business in Guatemala (collectively, "Tigo Guatemala") from its local partner for $2.2 billion in cash. The acquisition has been financed through a bridge facility (see note C.3.). The acquisition has been determined as a business combination achieved in stages, requiring Millicom to remeasure its 55% previously held equity investment in Tigo Guatemala at its acquisition date fair value ($2,683 million); the resulting gain has been recognized in the 2021 statement of income under the line "Revaluation of previously held interests" and is included in the goodwill calculation. The goodwill is attributable to the workforce and the high profitability of Tigo Guatemala. It is currently not expected to be tax deductible. From November 12, 2021 to December 31, 2021, Tigo Guatemala contributed $223 million of revenue and a net profit of $43 million to the Group. If Tigo Guatemala had been acquired on January 1, 2021 incremental revenue for the year 2021 would have been $1.38 billion and incremental net profit for the same period of $147 million. Acquisition related costs included in the statement of income under operating expenses were immaterial. Finalization of Purchase Accounting During the first half of 2022, Millicom has finalized the purchase accounting and determined the fair values of Tigo Guatemala's identifiable assets and liabilities. Comparative figures as of December 31, 2021, have been restated accordingly. The finalization of the purchase accounting had an effect on the following financial position line items previously reported as of December 31, 2021: $ millions December 31, 2021 Impact of the finalization of the purchase accounting of Guatemala December 31, 2021 Reason for the change As reported As restated STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ASSETS Intangible assets, net 7,721 (163) 7,558 (i) Property, plant and equipment, net 3,198 184 3,382 (ii) Right-of-use asset (non-current), net 1,008 17 1,024 (iii) Prepayments and accrued income 168 (2) 166 Other current assets 302 (33) 269 LIABILITIES Provisions and other current liabilities 546 2 548 (i) Impact on intangibles resulting from the adjustments explained below. (ii) See updated fair values section below. It mainly relates to property, plant and equipment step up. (iii) See updated fair values section below. It relates to remeasurement of the right of use assets. The impact of the finalization of Tigo Guatemala's purchase accounting on the 2021 Group statement of income is immaterial. Therefore, no adjustments were made in that respect on comparative figures. The table below shows the changes in fair values compared to the values reported as of December 31, 2021.

Management determined that the latter have indefinite useful lives. (ii) A fair value step-up of $184 million has been recognized on property, plant and equipment, mainly on the core network, network equipment and owned towers. The weighted average remaining useful live is estimated at 6 years. (iii) The Group measured the lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments (as defined in IFRS 16) as if the acquired lease were a new lease at the acquisition date. The right-of-use assets have been adjusted by $17 million to be measured at the same amount as the lease liabilities. (iv) The fair value of trade receivables acquired approximate their carrying value of $42 million. (v) The acquisition has been determined as a business combination achieved in stages, requiring Millicom to remeasure its 55% previously held equity investment in Tigo Guatemala at its acquisition date fair value; the resulting gain has been recognized in the statement of income under the line "Revaluation of previously held interests" and is included in the goodwill calculation (see above).

Comparative figures of the statement of income have been re-presented accordingly. On April 5, 2022, Millicom completed the sale for an initial cash consideration of approximately $101 million (subject to final price adjustment). As per the sale agreement, the initial sale price is adjusted to consider some outstanding tax and legal contingencies which management believes is sufficient to cover any future claims on pre-closing matters. Should the price adjustments not be sufficient, Millicom might be liable and need to make additi onal provisions that are not covered by the latter. In addition, the agreement also provides an IPO(i) adjustment clause valid until April 5, 2024, w hereby Millicom would reimburse the buyer for any negative difference between the share price per share on the IPO date and the one implied by this sale. As of December 31, 2022 , no additional provisions have been made by management in respect of the aforementioned items. (a) The net assets de-consolidated on the date of the disposal, as well as the gain on disposal, were as follows: Details of the sale of the subsidiary ($ millions) April 5, 2022 Carrying amount of net assets sold (A) (79) Initial sale consideration (B) 101 Gross gain on sale (B) - (A) 180 Other operating expenses linked to the disposal (11) Other operating income/expenses, net (5) Gain on sale before reclassification of foreign currency translation reserve 165 Reclassification of foreign currency translation reserve (56) Net gain on sale 109 (i) The Tanzanian government implemented in 2016 legislation requiring telecommunications companies to list their shares on the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange and offer 25% of their shares in a Tanzanian public offering. The ´Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority´ (TCRA) ordered the Tanzanian operations to complete such public offering by December 31, 2025, at the latest.

Joint ventures are businesses over which Millicom exercises joint control as decisions over the relevant activities of each, such as the ability to upstream cash from the joint ventures, require unanimous consent of shareholders. Millicom determines the existence of joint control by reference to joint venture agreements, articles of association, structures and voting protocols of the board of directors of those ventures. At December 31, 2022, the equity accounted net assets of our joint venture in Honduras totaled $401 million (December 31, 2021: $406 million ). These net assets do not necessarily represent statutory reserves available for distribution as these include consolidation adjustments (such as goodwill and identified assets and assumed liabilities recognized as part of the purchase accounting). Out of these net assets, $3 million (December 31, 2021: $3 million) represent statutory reserves that are unavailable to be distributed to the Group. During the year ended December 31, 2022, Millicom's joint venture in Honduras repatriated cash of $85 million in the form of management fees, dividend advances and repayment of a shareholder loan. For the same period last year, Millicom's joint ventures in Guatemala and Honduras repatriated cash of $62 million, out of which $13 million corresponding to other operating receivables remain outstanding. Our main joint ventures are as follows: Entity Country Activity December 31, 2022 % holding December 31, 2021 % holding Telefonica Celular S.A. (i) Honduras Mobile, MFS 66.7 66.7 Navega S.A. de CV (i) Honduras Cable 66.7 66.7 Bharti Airtel Ghana Holdings B.V. Netherlands Holding Company 50 50 (i) Millicom owns more than 50% of the shares in these entities and has the right to nominate a majority of the directors of each of these entities. However, key decisions over the relevant activities must be taken by a super majority vote. This effectively gives either shareholder the ability to veto any decision and therefore neither shareholder has sole control over the entity. Therefore, the operations of these joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method. On October 13, 2021, Millicom, along with its joint venture partner Bharti Airtel Limited, closed the disposal of AirtelTigo Ghana to the Government of Ghana. As part of the closing conditions, each partner committed and paid $37.5 million for the reimbursement of certain local bank facilities which had been provided for in the statement of income under the line "Profit (loss) from other joint ventures and associates, net". Millicom still owns 50% of the holding company Bharti Airtel Ghana Holdings B.V.. The carrying values of Millicom’s investments in joint ventures were as follows: Carrying value of investments in joint ventures at December 31 2022 2021 (US$ millions) Honduras operations (i) 590 596 Total 590 596 (i) Includes all the companies under the Honduras groups. The table below summarizes the movements for the year in respect of the Group’s joint ventures carrying values: Honduras (i) (US$ millions) Opening balance at January 1, 2021 610 Results for the year 27 Dividends declared during the year (34) Currency exchange differences (7) Closing balance at December 31, 2021 596 Capital increase 3 Results for the year 32 Dividends declared during the year (35) Currency exchange differences (7) Closing balance at December 31, 2022 590 (i) Share of profit is recognized under ‘Share of profit in joint ventures’ in the statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2022. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost (calculated at fair value if it was a subsidiary of the Group before becoming a joint venture). The Group’s investments in joint ventures include goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) on acquisition. The Group’s share of post-acquisition profits or losses of joint ventures is recognized in the consolidated statement of income and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognized in reserves. Cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investments. When the Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless the Group has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures. Gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint ventures. Losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Dilution gains and losses arising in investments in joint ventures are recognized in the statement of income.

No information is disclosed on statement of financial position items as these are now fully consolidated in the Group numbers. AirtelTigo Ghana Our joint investment in AirtelTigo Ghana has been disposed of in 2021. The only material effect for 2021 year's statement of income is the loss recognized on the exit financing which is further explained in note A.2.. Therefore, only 2020 financial information is disclosed in the table below. 2020 (US$ millions) Revenue 132 Depreciation and amortization (42) Operating loss (30) Financial income (expenses), net (41) Loss before taxes (85) Charge for taxes, net — Loss for the period (85) Net loss for the period attributable to Millicom 0 Cash and cash equivalents 1 Debt and financing – non-current 289 Debt and financing – current 40 Net cash from (used in) operating activities (8) Net cash from (used in) investing activities — Net cash from (used in) financing activities 4 Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents (4) While no impairment triggers were identified for the Group’s investments in joint ventures in 2022, according to its policy, management have completed an impairment test for its joint ventures in Honduras. The Group’s investments in Honduras operations was tested for impairment by assessing the recoverable amount (using a value in use model based on discounted cash flows) against the carrying amount. The cash flow projections used were extracted from financial budgets approved by management and reviewed by the Board (refer to note E.1.6. for further details on impairment testing). Cash flows beyond this period have been extrapolated using a p erpetual growth rate of 1% (2021: 1%). Discount rate used in determining recoverable amount was 14.2% (2021: 8.9%). For the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and as a result of the impairment testing described above, management concluded that the Group’s investments for its joint ventures in Honduras should not be impaired.

(ii) In December 2022, Millicom relinquished its seat at the board of directors of Milvik AB ("Milvik") and therefore lost its significant influence in accordance with IAS 28. As a result, the Group stopped equity accounting for its investment in Milvik and classified it as a financial asset measured at fair value in accordance with IFRS 9. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the carrying value of Millicom’s main associates was as follows: Carrying value of investments in associates at December 31 2022 2021 (US$ millions) Milvik AB — 8 West Indian Ocean Cable Company Limited (WIOCC) — 14 Total — 22 A.4.1. Classification of discontinued operations Discontinued operations are those which have identifiable operations and cash flows (for both operating and management purposes) and represent a major line of business or geographic area which has been disposed of, or are held for sale. Revenue and expenses associated with discontinued operations are presented retrospectively in a separate line in the consolidated statement of income. In accordance with IFRS 5, financial information relating to discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2022 , 2021 and 2020 is set out below.

Analysis of income and expense [abstract] | |
Performance | PerformanceRevenue Millicom’s revenue comprises sale of services from its mobile business (including Mobile Financial Services - MFS) and its cable and other fixed services, as well as related devices and equipment. Recurring revenue consists of monthly subscription fees, airtime and data usage fees, interconnection fees, roaming fees, TV services, B2B contracts, MFS commissions and fees from other telecommunications services such as data services, short message services and other value added services.

See note A.1.2. for further details. Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Group applies the following practical expedients foreseen in IFRS 15: • No adjustment to the transaction price for the means of a financing component whenever the period between the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and the associated payment is one year or less; when the period is more than one year the financing component is adjusted, if material. • Disclosure in the Group Financial Statements the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations only for contracts that have an original expected duration of more than one year (e.g. unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts that have an original duration of one year or less are not disclosed). • Application of the practical expedient not to disclose the price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations, if the consideration from a customer corresponds to the value of the entity’s performance obligation to the customer (i.e, if billing corresponds to accounting revenue). • Application of the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that otherwise would have been recognized is one year or less. Post-paid connection fees are derived from the payment of a non-refundable / one-time fee charged to customer to connect to the network (e.g. connection / installation fee). Usually, it does not represent a distinct good or service, and therefore does not give rise to a separate performance obligation and revenue is recognized over the minimum contract duration. However, if the fee is paid by a customer to get the right to receive goods or services without having to pay this fee again over his tenure with the Group (e.g. the customer can readily extend his contract without having to pay the same fee again), it is accounted for as a material right and revenue should be recognized over the customer retention period. Post-paid mobile / cable subscription fees are recognized over the relevant enforceable/subscribed service period (recurring monthly access fees that do not vary based on usage). The service provision is usually considered as a series of distinct services that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Remaining unrecognized subscription fees, which are not refunded to the customers, are fully recognized once the customer has been disconnected. Prepaid scratch / SIM cards are services where customers purchase a specified amount of airtime or other credit in advance. Revenue is recognized as the credit is used. Unused credit is carried in the statement of financial position as a contract liability. Upon expiration of the validity period, the portion of the contract liability relating to the expiring credit is recognized as revenue, since there is no longer an obligation to provide those services. Telephone and equipment sales are recognized as revenue once the customer obtains control of the good. That criteria is fulfilled when the customer has the ability to direct the use and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good. Revenue from provision of Mobile Financial Services (MFS), such as commissions on peer to peer transfers, is generally recognized once the primary service has been provided to the customer. Revenue from interest earned on loans granted to customers are recognised over the period of the loan and are based on effective interest rates. Loan origination fees are treated as an adjustment to the effective interest rate. Customer premise equipment (CPE) are provided to customers as a prerequisite to receive the subscribed Home services and shall be returned at the end of the contract duration. Since CPEs provided over the contract term do not provide benefit to the customer on their own, they do not give rise to separate performance obligations and therefore are accounted for as part of the service provided to the customers. Bundled offers are considered arrangements with multiple deliverables or elements, which can lead to the identification of separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized in accordance with the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the relative standalone selling price of the performance obligation (e.g. sale of telecom services, revenue over time + sale of handset, revenue at a point in time). Principal-Agent, some arrangements involve two or more unrelated parties that contribute to providing a specified good or service to a customer. In these instances, the Group determines whether it has promised to provide the specified good or service itself (as a principal) or to arrange for those specified goods or services to be provided by another party (as an agent). For example, performance obligations relating to services provided by third-party content providers (i.e., mobile Value Added Services or “VAS”) or service providers (i.e., wholesale international traffic) where the Group neither controls a right to the provider’s service nor controls the underlying service itself are presented net because the Group is acting as an agent. The Group generally acts as a principal for other types of services where the Group is the primary obligor of the arrangement. In cases the Group determines that it acts as a principal, revenue is recognized in the gross amount, whereas in cases the Group acts as an agent revenue is recognized in the net amount. Revenue from the sale of cables, fiber, wavelength or capacity contracts, when part of the ordinary activities of the operation, is recognized as recurring revenue. Revenue is recognized when the cable, fiber, wavelength or capacity has been delivered to the customer, based on the amount expected to be received from the customer. Revenue from operating lease of tower space is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the underlying lease contracts. Finance leases revenue is apportioned between lease of tower space and interest income. Significant judgments The determination of the standalone selling price for contracts that involve more than one performance obligation may require significant judgment, such as when the selling price of a good or service is not readily observable. The cost of sales and operating expenses incurred by the Group can be summarized as follows: Cost of sales 2022 2021 2020 (US$ millions) Direct costs of services sold (941) (841) (748) Cost of telephone, equipment and other accessories (441) (270) (207) Bad debt and obsolescence costs (124) (86) (106) Cost of sales (1,506) (1,197) (1,060) Operating expenses, net 2022 2021 2020 (US$ millions) Marketing expenses (570) (450) (349) Site and network maintenance costs (310) (233) (214) Employee related costs (B.4.)

(7) (6) — Gain (loss) on disposals of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment 1 5 — Impairment of AirtelTigo's receivable G.5. — — (45) Reverse earn-out in respect of Zantel's acquisition (i) 2 11 — Gain (loss) on disposal of equity investments C.7.3. — (15) 25 Other income (expenses) (ii) 2 10 9 Other operating income (expenses), net (2) 5 (12) (i) In January 2022, Millicom received $11 million from Etisalat as earn-out income related to the purchase of Zantel in 2015. This settlement was considered as an adjusting event and recorded in 'other operating income' in the 2021 statement of income. (ii) In 2021, other income (expenses) can be mainly attributed to social obligations spectrum liability derecognition in Paraguay of $4 million and reversal provision related to Ghana of $4 million. B.2.1. Accounting for cost of sales and operating expenses Cost of sales Cost of sales is recorded on an accrual basis. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract Incremental costs of obtaining a contract, including dealer commissions, are capitalized as Contract Costs in the statement of financial position and amortized in operating expenses over the expected benefit period, which is based on the average duration of contracts with customer (see practical expedient in note B.1.1.). Management determines operating and reportable segments based on information used by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make strategic and operational decisions from both a business and geographic perspective. The Millicom Group’s risks and rates of return for its operations were predominantly affected by operating in different geographical regions. Until the divestiture of our Tanzania business, as discussed above, the Millicom Group had businesses in two main regions, Latin America and Africa, which constituted our two reportable segments. As a result of the sale of the Tanzania business and its classification as a discontinued operation, we no longer report an Africa segment in our financial statements and will no longer report it for future periods. The Group now only operates in a single region, Latin America. As a result, the Group now reports a single segment, called the "Group Segment," which includes the results of our Latin American operations, and regional and central corporate costs. Group Segment figures will continue to include our Honduras joint venture as if it was fully consolidated, as this reflects the way management reviews and uses internally reported information to make decisions about operating matters and to provide increased transparency to investors on those operations. Group Segment figures also include our operations in Guatemala as if they were fully consolidated for all comparative periods, for the same reasons. On November 12, 2021, we acquired the remaining 45% equity interest in our Guatemala joint venture business, and we now fully consolidate our operations in Guatemala. Prior to this date, we held a 55% stake in our operations in Guatemala and accounted for it using the equity method of accounting, along with our operations in Honduras. Revenue, operating profit (loss), EBITDA and other segment information for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, were as follows: Group Segment (viii) Honduras (vii) Eliminations and transfers Group (US$ millions) Year ended December 31, 2022 Mobile revenue 3,392 (436) 1 2,957 Cable and other fixed services revenue 2,247 (108) 7 2,145 Other revenue 73 (5) — 69 Service revenue (i) 5,712 (549) 8 5,171 Telephone and equipment revenue 491 (37) — 454 Revenue 6,203 (586) 8 5,624 Operating profit (loss) 1,004 (121) 32 915 Add back: Depreciation and amortization 1,454 (112) 1 1,344 Share of profit in joint ventures — — (32) (32) Other operating expenses (income), net (1) 3 (1) 2 EBITDA (ii) 2,457 (230) 1 2,228 EBITDA from discontinued operations 24 — — 24 EBITDA incl discontinued operations 2,482 (230) 1 2,252 Capital expenditure (iii) (1,042) 85 — (957) Spectrum paid (93) — — (93) Changes in working capital and others (iv) (95) (26) — (121) Taxes paid (365) 49 — (316) Operating free cash flow (v) 887 (122) 1 765 Total Assets (vi) 14,543 (1,004) 660 14,198 Total Liabilities 11,097 (603) 70 10,565 (i) Service revenue is revenue related to the provision of ongoing services such as monthly subscription fees for mobile and broadband, airtime and data usage fees, interconnection fees, roaming fees, mobile finance service commissions and fees from other telecommunications services such as data services, short message services, installation fees and other value-added services excluding telephone and equipment sales. (ii) EBITDA is operating profit excluding impairment losses, depreciation and amortization and gains/losses on the disposal of fixed assets. (iii) Excluding spectrum and licenses. (iv) ‘Changes in working capital and others’ include changes in working capital as stated in the cash flow statement as well as share based payments expense. (v) Operating Free Cash Flow is EBITDA less capex, less spectrum paid, less change in working capital, other non-cash items (share-based payment expense) and taxes paid. From 2022, the Group changed the definition of Operating Free Cash Flow to include spectrum paid in response to feedback from users of our financial statements who prefer a more comprehensive view of our cash flow generation.

Equity-settled Millicom shares granted to management and key employees includes share-based compensation in the form of long-term share incentive plans. Since 2016, Millicom has two types of annual plans, a performance share plan (PSP) and a deferred share plan (DSP). The different plans are further detailed below. Cost of share-based compensation 2022 2021 2020 (US$ millions) 2018 incentive plans — — (2) 2019 incentive plans — 3 (8) 2020 incentive plans (3) (3) (13) 2021 incentive plans (11) (17) — 2022 incentive plans (15) — — Total share based compensation (29) (17) (24) Deferred share plan (unchanged since 2014, except for vesting schedule) As from the 2019 plan, shares vest at a rate of 30% on January 1 of each of year one and two, and the remaining 40% on January 1 of year three Fair value (share price) of Millicom’s shares at grant date x number of shares expected to vest. Performance share plan (for plans issued from 2018) Shares granted under this performance share plan vest at the end of the three For the performance share plans, and in order to calculate the fair value of the TSR portion of those plans, it is necessary to make a number of assumptions which are set out below. The assumptions have been set based on an analysis of historical data as at grant date. Performance share plan (for plans issued from 2021) Shares granted under this performance share plan generally follow the same rules as for previous performance share plans. However, for LTI 2021 plan, Millicom had added a time vesting Restricted Stock Units (“RSU’s”) representing 35% of the total award. The RSU’s will be vesting at the end of three years depending on satisfactory service condition. RSU's have been removed from the plan rules from 2022. The Relative TSR, which account for 20% of the award, will be measured over the 10 trading days before / after December 31 of the last year of the corresponding three-year measurement period. The Service Revenue (LTI 2022: 30%; LTI 2021: 15%) and Operating Cash Flow after Leases ("OCFaL") (LTI 2022: 50%; LTI 2021: 30%) performance conditions will not be measured based on a CAGR anymore but on the actual cumulative achievement against the 3-year cumulative targets to better reflect the performance over the three-year period rather than simply the end point as is the case with a CAGR target. For the performance share plans, and in order to calculate the fair value of the TSR portion of those plans, it is necessary to make a number of assumptions which are set out below. The assumptions have been set based on an analysis of historical data as at grant date. Assumptions and fair value of the shares under the TSR portion(s) Risk-free Dividend yield % Share price volatility(i) % Award term (years) Share fair value (in US$) Performance share plan 2022 (Relative TSR) 2.01 0.00 47.94 2.80 29.12 Performance share plan 2021 (Relative TSR) 0.29 1.28 46.28 2.82 52.99 Performance share plan 2020 (Relative TSR) 0.61 1.47 24.54 2.93 55.66 Performance share plan 2019 (Relative TSR) (0.24) 3.01 26.58 2.93 49.79 Performance share plan 2018 (Relative TSR) (0.39) 3.21 30.27 2.93 57.70 (i) Historical volatility retained was determined on the basis of a three-year historic average. The cost of the long-term incentive plans which are conditional on market conditions is calculated as follows: Fair value (market value) of shares at grant date (as calculated above) x number of shares expected to vest. The cost of these plans is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity (share compensation reserve), over the period in which the performance and/or employment conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award. Adjustments are made to the expense recorded for forfeitures, mainly due to management and employees leaving Millicom. Non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition (such as the Relative TSR). These are treated as vested, regardless of whether or not the market conditions are satisfied, provided that all other performance conditions are satisfied. Where the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, as a minimum an expense is recognized as if the terms had not been modified. In addition, an expense is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share based payment arrangement, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee as measured at the date of modification.

Cash-settled In 2021, and in the light of the impact on future LTI awards as a consequence of the impact of COVID-19 on our business, the Board awarded a one-time Retention Plan to a selected group of executives, including the CEO and CFO. The plan is based on Market Stock Units (“MSU”) and is a performance-based scheme where the outcome is dependent on the share price at the time of vesting. The number of MSUs granted to each participant was determined on the basis of a share price at inception of $33.83 for Tranche 2022 and $36.90 for Tranche 2023 (targets consider that Millicom share price at grant date - $30.75 - will appreciate 10% for Tranche 2022 and 20% for tranche 2023 from the grant price). The aforementioned share prices and number of units granted have been amended as a result of the effect of the right offering (see note C.1. ). At the vesting date, the value of the MSU will be determined by the 30-trading day average share price ending on June 30, 2022 for Tranche 2022, and the 30-trading day average share price ending on June 30, 2023 for Tranche 2023. For each Tranche, the payment will be made in cash 12 months after those dates, provided the participant is still employed (subject to limited allowances for good leavers). For every participant, payment is capped at 150% of their Target MSU Award Value set up for each Tranche. Participants of the Retention Plan were required to forfeit their awards under the LTI plans 2019 and 2020 in respect of the Financial targets (Service Revenue and Operating Cash flow growths), provided that the TSR component will continue to be active for these schemes. The MSU is a cash-settled share-based payment plan and Millicom will measure the services acquired over the relevant service period and the liability incurred at the fair value of the liability. Until the liability is settled, Millicom is required to remeasure the fair value of the liability at the end of each reporting period and at the date of settlement, with any changes in value recognised the statement of income. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the fair value of the liability amounts to $2 million and $3 million, respectively, and was determined by using Millicom's share price (using a Black-Scholes model would not result in material differences). The related cost for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, amounts to a credit of $1 million (as a result of the share price decrease over the year) and an expense of $3 million, respectively. Pension plans The pension plans apply to employees who meet certain criteria (including years of service, age and participation in collective agreements). Pension and other similar employee related obligations can result from either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. No further payment obligations exist once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expenses when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as assets to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. Defined benefit pension plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The liability recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of the defined benefit pension plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the statement of financial position date less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows, using an appropriate discount rate based on maturities of the related pension liability. Re-measurement of net defined benefit liabilities are recognized in other comprehensive income and not reclassified to the statement of income in subsequent years. Past service costs are recognized in the statement of income on the earlier of the date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and the date that the Group recognizes related restructuring costs. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit asset/liability. Long-service plans Long-service plans apply for Colombian subsidiary UNE employees with more than five years of service whereby additional bonuses are paid to employees that reach each incremental length of service milestone (from five Termination plans In addition, UNE has a number of employee defined benefit plans. The level of benefits provided under the plans depends on collective employment agreements and Colombian labor regulations. There are no defined assets related to the plans, and UNE make payments to settle obligations under the plans out of available cash balances. At December 31, 2022, the defined benefit obligation liability amounted to $37 million (2021: $42 million) and payments expected in the plans in future years totals $77 million (2021: $81 million). The average duration of the defined benefit obligation at December 31, 2022 is 4 yea rs (2021: 5 years). The termination plans apply to employees that joined UNE prior to December 30, 1996. The level of payments depends on the number of years in which the employee has worked before retirement or termination of their contract with UNE.

(i) Acquisition completed on December 13, 2018. Telecomunicaciones Digitales, S.A. (formerly Cable Onda S.A.) is fully consolidated as Millicom has the majority of voting shares to direct the relevant activities. See note A.1.2.. (ii) Companies acquired during 2019. See note A.1.2.. (iii) Fully consolidated as Millicom has the majority of voting shares to direct the relevant activities. (iv) Acquisition completed on November 12, 2021(see Note A.1.2.). Millicom now owns 100% equity interest in Tigo Guatemala compared to 55% before the transaction. While Millicom owned more than 50% of the shares in these entities and had the right to nominate a majority of the directors of each of these entities, key decisions over the relevant activities were taken by a super majority vote. This effectively gave either shareholder the ability to veto any decision and therefore neither shareholder had sole control over the entity. Therefore, the operations of these joint ventures were accounted for under the equity method. See note A.2.1.. (v) Tigo Guatemala is made up of the 2 entities in the table above, but also by the following less material entities: Comunicaciones Corporativas S.A. (“COMCORP”), Servicios Innovadores de Comunicación y Entretenimiento S.A. (“SICESA”), Distribuidora de Comunicaciones de Occidente S.A. (“COOCSA”), Distribuidora de Comunicaciones de Oriente S.A. (“COORSA”), Distribuidora Internacional de Comunicaciones S.A. (“INTERNACOM”), Servicios Especializados en Telecomunicaciones S.A. (“SESTEL”), Distribuidora Central de Comunicaciones, S.A. (“COCENSA”) and Cloud 2 Nube S.A. ("C2N"). Scope changes 2022 As of June 14, 2022, the Group received the formal notification from the minority shareholders of Telecomunicaciones Digitales, S.A (formerly Cable Onda S.A.) confirming the exercise of their put option right to sell their remaining 20% shareholding to Millicom for an amount of approximately $290 million. The transaction was closed on June 29, 2022 and the payment was applied against the already recorded put option liability of $290 million. As a result, the non-controlling interests' carrying value of $78 million have been transferred to the Group's equity. Scope changes 2021 On November 12, 2021, Millicom announced that it has closed the previously-announced agreement to acquire the remaining 45% equity interest in its joint venture business in Guatemala (collectively, "Tigo Guatemala") from its local partner for $2.2 billion in cash. The acquisition has been financed through a bridge facility (see note C.3.). The acquisition has been determined as a business combination achieved in stages, requiring Millicom to remeasure its 55% previously held equity investment in Tigo Guatemala at its acquisition date fair value ($2,683 million); the resulting gain has been recognized in the 2021 statement of income under the line "Revaluation of previously held interests" and is included in the goodwill calculation. The goodwill is attributable to the workforce and the high profitability of Tigo Guatemala. It is currently not expected to be tax deductible. From November 12, 2021 to December 31, 2021, Tigo Guatemala contributed $223 million of revenue and a net profit of $43 million to the Group. If Tigo Guatemala had been acquired on January 1, 2021 incremental revenue for the year 2021 would have been $1.38 billion and incremental net profit for the same period of $147 million. Acquisition related costs included in the statement of income under operating expenses were immaterial. Finalization of Purchase Accounting During the first half of 2022, Millicom has finalized the purchase accounting and determined the fair values of Tigo Guatemala's identifiable assets and liabilities. Comparative figures as of December 31, 2021, have been restated accordingly. The finalization of the purchase accounting had an effect on the following financial position line items previously reported as of December 31, 2021: $ millions December 31, 2021 Impact of the finalization of the purchase accounting of Guatemala December 31, 2021 Reason for the change As reported As restated STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION ASSETS Intangible assets, net 7,721 (163) 7,558 (i) Property, plant and equipment, net 3,198 184 3,382 (ii) Right-of-use asset (non-current), net 1,008 17 1,024 (iii) Prepayments and accrued income 168 (2) 166 Other current assets 302 (33) 269 LIABILITIES Provisions and other current liabilities 546 2 548 (i) Impact on intangibles resulting from the adjustments explained below.

It relates to remeasurement of the right of use assets. The impact of the finalization of Tigo Guatemala's purchase accounting on the 2021 Group statement of income is immaterial. Therefore, no adjustments were made in that respect on comparative figures. The table below shows the changes in fair values compared to the values reported as of December 31, 2021.

Management determined that the latter have indefinite useful lives. (ii) A fair value step-up of $184 million has been recognized on property, plant and equipment, mainly on the core network, network equipment and owned towers. The weighted average remaining useful live is estimated at 6 years. (iii) The Group measured the lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments (as defined in IFRS 16) as if the acquired lease were a new lease at the acquisition date. The right-of-use assets have been adjusted by $17 million to be measured at the same amount as the lease liabilities. (iv) The fair value of trade receivables acquired approximate their carrying value of $42 million. (v) The acquisition has been determined as a business combination achieved in stages, requiring Millicom to remeasure its 55% previously held equity investment in Tigo Guatemala at its acquisition date fair value; the resulting gain has been recognized in the statement of income under the line "Revaluation of previously held interests" and is included in the goodwill calculation (see above).

Comparative figures of the statement of income have been re-presented accordingly. On April 5, 2022, Millicom completed the sale for an initial cash consideration of approximately $101 million (subject to final price adjustment). As per the sale agreement, the initial sale price is adjusted to consider some outstanding tax and legal contingencies which management believes is sufficient to cover any future claims on pre-closing matters. Should the price adjustments not be sufficient, Millicom might be liable and need to make additi onal provisions that are not covered by the latter. In addition, the agreement also provides an IPO(i) adjustment clause valid until April 5, 2024, w hereby Millicom would reimburse the buyer for any negative difference between the share price per share on the IPO date and the one implied by this sale. As of December 31, 2022 , no additional provisions have been made by management in respect of the aforementioned items. (a) The net assets de-consolidated on the date of the disposal, as well as the gain on disposal, were as follows: Details of the sale of the subsidiary ($ millions) April 5, 2022 Carrying amount of net assets sold (A) (79) Initial sale consideration (B) 101 Gross gain on sale (B) - (A) 180 Other operating expenses linked to the disposal (11) Other operating income/expenses, net (5) Gain on sale before reclassification of foreign currency translation reserve 165 Reclassification of foreign currency translation reserve (56) Net gain on sale 109 (i) The Tanzanian government implemented in 2016 legislation requiring telecommunications companies to list their shares on the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange and offer 25% of their shares in a Tanzanian public offering. The ´Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority´ (TCRA) ordered the Tanzanian operations to complete such public offering by December 31, 2025, at the latest. (b) The operating results and cash flows of the discontinued operation for the years ended December 31, 2022, December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are set out below.

Joint ventures are businesses over which Millicom exercises joint control as decisions over the relevant activities of each, such as the ability to upstream cash from the joint ventures, require unanimous consent of shareholders. Millicom determines the existence of joint control by reference to joint venture agreements, articles of association, structures and voting protocols of the board of directors of those ventures. At December 31, 2022, the equity accounted net assets of our joint venture in Honduras totaled $401 million (December 31, 2021: $406 million ). These net assets do not necessarily represent statutory reserves available for distribution as these include consolidation adjustments (such as goodwill and identified assets and assumed liabilities recognized as part of the purchase accounting). Out of these net assets, $3 million (December 31, 2021: $3 million) represent statutory reserves that are unavailable to be distributed to the Group. During the year ended December 31, 2022, Millicom's joint venture in Honduras repatriated cash of $85 million in the form of management fees, dividend advances and repayment of a shareholder loan. For the same period last year, Millicom's joint ventures in Guatemala and Honduras repatriated cash of $62 million, out of which $13 million corresponding to other operating receivables remain outstanding. Our main joint ventures are as follows: Entity Country Activity December 31, 2022 % holding December 31, 2021 % holding Telefonica Celular S.A. (i) Honduras Mobile, MFS 66.7 66.7 Navega S.A. de CV (i) Honduras Cable 66.7 66.7 Bharti Airtel Ghana Holdings B.V. Netherlands Holding Company 50 50 (i) Millicom owns more than 50% of the shares in these entities and has the right to nominate a majority of the directors of each of these entities. However, key decisions over the relevant activities must be taken by a super majority vote. This effectively gives either shareholder the ability to veto any decision and therefore neither shareholder has sole control over the entity. Therefore, the operations of these joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method. On October 13, 2021, Millicom, along with its joint venture partner Bharti Airtel Limited, closed the disposal of AirtelTigo Ghana to the Government of Ghana. As part of the closing conditions, each partner committed and paid $37.5 million for the reimbursement of certain local bank facilities which had been provided for in the statement of income under the line "Profit (loss) from other joint ventures and associates, net". Millicom still owns 50% of the holding company Bharti Airtel Ghana Holdings B.V.. The carrying values of Millicom’s investments in joint ventures were as follows: Carrying value of investments in joint ventures at December 31 2022 2021 (US$ millions) Honduras operations (i) 590 596 Total 590 596 (i) Includes all the companies under the Honduras groups. The table below summarizes the movements for the year in respect of the Group’s joint ventures carrying values: Honduras (i) (US$ millions) Opening balance at January 1, 2021 610 Results for the year 27 Dividends declared during the year (34) Currency exchange differences (7) Closing balance at December 31, 2021 596 Capital increase 3 Results for the year 32 Dividends declared during the year (35) Currency exchange differences (7) Closing balance at December 31, 2022 590 (i) Share of profit is recognized under ‘Share of profit in joint ventures’ in the statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2022. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost (calculated at fair value if it was a subsidiary of the Group before becoming a joint venture). The Group’s investments in joint ventures include goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) on acquisition. The Group’s share of post-acquisition profits or losses of joint ventures is recognized in the consolidated statement of income and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognized in reserves. Cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investments. When the Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless the Group has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures. Gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint ventures. Losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Dilution gains and losses arising in investments in joint ventures are recognized in the statement of income.

AirtelTigo Ghana Our joint investment in AirtelTigo Ghana has been disposed of in 2021. The only material effect for 2021 year's statement of income is the loss recognized on the exit financing which is further explained in note A.2..

The Group’s investments in Honduras operations was tested for impairment by assessing the recoverable amount (using a value in use model based on discounted cash flows) against the carrying amount. The cash flow projections used were extracted from financial budgets approved by management and reviewed by the Board (refer to note E.1.6. for further details on impairment testing). Cash flows beyond this period have been extrapolated using a p erpetual growth rate of 1% (2021: 1%). Discount rate used in determining recoverable amount was 14.2% (2021: 8.9%). For the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and as a result of the impairment testing described above, management concluded that the Group’s investments for its joint ventures in Honduras should not be impaired.

As a result, the Group stopped equity accounting for its investment in Milvik and classified it as a financial asset measured at fair value in accordance with IFRS 9. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the carrying value of Millicom’s main associates was as follows: Carrying value of investments in associates at December 31 2022 2021 (US$ millions) Milvik AB — 8 West Indian Ocean Cable Company Limited (WIOCC) — 14 Total — 22 A.4.1. Classification of discontinued operations Discontinued operations are those which have identifiable operations and cash flows (for both operating and management purposes) and represent a major line of business or geographic area which has been disposed of, or are held for sale. Revenue and expenses associated with discontinued operations are presented retrospectively in a separate line in the consolidated statement of income.

Capital structure and financing | Capital structure and financing C.1. Share capital, share premium and reserves Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds. Where any Group company purchases the Company’s share capital, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs, is shown under Treasury shares and deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders until the shares are canceled, reissued or disposed of. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental costs and the related income tax effects is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.

The proposal has been ratified at the EGM which took place on February 28, 2022. On May 18, 2022, the Board of Directors of Millicom resolved on a rights offering (the "Rights Offering") granting preferential subscription rights to existing holders of shares and Swedish Depositary Receipts ("SDRs") to subscribe for up to 70,357,088 shares in aggregate. Those who were registered as holders of shares/SDR register on May 23, 2022, received one subscription right for each share ("Share Right") or SDR ("SDR right") held in Millicom. 10 share rights entitled a holder thereof to subscribe for 7 new shares in Millicom and 10 SDR Rights entitled a holder thereof to subscribe 7 new SDRs in Millicom. The subscription price was set at SEK 106 per new SDR and $10.61 per new share. The subscription price in SEK was determined based on the subscription price in U.S dollars as resolved by Millicom, $10.61 per new share, using the SEK-U.S dollar exchange rate published by the Swedish Central Bank on May 17, 2022. The record date for participation in the Rights Offering was May 23, 2022. The subscription period ran from May 27, 2022 up to June 13, 2022. The result of the Rights Offering showed that 68,822,675 shares, including those represented by SDRs, have been subscribed for by the exercise of basic subscription rights. The remaining 1,534,413 shares, including those represented by SDRs, were allotted to those investors who subscribed for them pursuant to over subscription privileges. The Rights Offering was thus fully subscribed, and Millicom received proceeds amounting to approximately $717 million after deducting underwriting commissions and other offering expenses of $28 million. The Rights Offering resulted in the issuance of 70,357,088 new shares, which increased the number of outstanding shares in Millicom from 101,739,217 to 172,096,305. As a result, the share capital increased by $106 million to $258 million from $153 million. The remaining $611 million have been allocated to the Group's share premium account.

Main aim was to refinance outstanding bank loans with maturities from 2021 to 2025. In December 2021, Telecel entered into a new loan of PYG 50,000 million (approximately $7 million) with GNB to refinance an outstanding bank loan with Banco Itaú. This loan bears fixed interest and will mature in 2024. 2. Panama In August 2019, Telecomunicaciones Digitales, S.A. (formerly Cable Onda S.A.) entered into two credit agreements, one with Banco Nacional de Panama S.A , for $75 million which bears a fixed interest and has a 5 year duration and another one with the Bank of Nova Scotia (Sucursal Panama) for $75 million with a fixed interest and a five year duration to finance and refinance working capital and capital expenditures. In October 2020 and September 2021, the $75 million credit agreement with Banco Nacional de Panama S.A. has been early repaid. On July 29th, 2022 the $75 million loan with The Bank of Nova Scotia was repaid. In December 2020, Telecomunicaciones Digitales, S.A. executed a credit agreement with Bank of Nova Scotia with a 60 month duration for $110 million divided into 2 tranches.

On August 31, 2021, Telecomunicaciones Digitales, S.A. executed an agreement with Bank of Scotia for $75 million at a fixed rate. The facility was used to repay Cable Onda's remaining balance under the 5.75% local bond, which was initially due on September 3, 2025. 3. Bolivia In June 2018, Telefónica Celular de Bolivia S.A. entered into a two tranche loan agreement with Banco BISA S.A for BOB 69.6 million (approximately $10 million) each, with a fixed interest rate. The loans have a term of 7 years. In November 2019, they executed a new loan with Banco de Crédito de Bolivia S.A for Bs. 78 million (approximately $11 million), with semiannual payments and a fixed interest rate. The loan has a term of 4 years. In October 2021, Tigo Bolivia signed additional credit facilities for a total amount of approximately $26 million with a repayment period between 2.5 and 5 years and bearing fixed interest rate. In July 2022, Tigo Bolivia signed two new loan agreements for a total amount of approximately $8 million and a repayment period of five years, bearing fixed interest rate. 4. Costa Rica On October 25, 2021, Millicom Cable Costa Rica S.A. executed new syndicated loan entered into by the Company and Millicom Cable Costa Rica as co-borrowers for an amount of $125 million. The latter has 2 tranches, a USD $33 million tranche with a LIBOR+ margin and a local currency tranche at TBP+margin for an amount equivalent to $92 million. 5. Colombia On December 14, 2021, UNE EPM Telecomunicaciones S.A. entered into an ESG Linked agreement with Bancolombia for a COP 450,000 million (approximately $94 million at the December 31, 2022 exchange rate) loan with a variable rate and a maturity of 7 years. On December 20, 2019, our operation in Colombia executed an amendment to the $300 million loan between Colombia Móvil S.A. E.S.P. as borrower and UNE EPM Telecomunicaciones S.A., as guarantor with a consortium of banks to extend the maturity for 5 years (now due on December 20, 2024) and lower the applicable margin. On March 26, 2021, $150 million were paid. On September and November 2020, Colombia executed 4 new cross currency swaps of $25 million each with Bancolombia, JP Morgan and BBVA to complete $100 million and hedge the exposure of a portion of the $300 million Syndicated Loan Agreement, fixing the exchange and interest rates (see note D.1.2.). On January 21, 2022, Colombia Movil S.A. repaid $100 million of the outstanding amount of the aforementioned Syndicated Loan Agreement. On January 19, 2022, the respective cross currency swaps with Bancolombia and JP Morgan for $25 million, each, were terminated. This resulted in a gain and cash settlement of $11 million (see note B.5.). As of December 31, 2022, there is still $50 million outstanding under the Syndicated Loan Agreement, which is covered by cross currency and interest rate swaps. On October 5, 2022 UNE EPM Telecomunicaciones S.A. entered into a credit loan with Bancolombia for COP 85,000 million loan (approximately $18 million) with a variable rate at IBR+margin and a maturity of 1 year. 6. El Salvador and Nicaragua On December 26, 2021, Telemovil El Salvador S.A. ("Telemovil") executed a new credit agreement for $100 million with a 5 year maturity, which bears a variable interest to refinance the $100 million loan agreement dated March 23, 2018 with DNB and Nordea, which was entirely repaid on December 29, 2021. The credit agreement is guaranteed by Millicom. On September 12, 2022, Telefonia Celular de Nicaragua, S.A. ("Nicaragua") and Telemovil entered into a new Credit and Guaranty Agreement with Bank of Nova Scotia as Administrative Agent and Citigroup and Bladex as Joint Lead Arrangers, and with the Company as Guarantor for $225 million Unsecured Term Loan with a 5-year maturity. The allocated portion for Telemovil is $75 million and the allocated portion for Nicaragua is $150 million. The proceeds have been used to partially repay loans with other companies within the Group. The interest rate for this loan is SOFR based plus a margin. 7. Luxembourg In October 2020, MICSA. entered into a 5 year, $600 million ESG-linked revolving credit facility (the "Facility") with a syndicate of 11 commercial banks. This facility was not drawdown so far and could be used for financing of working capital or for general corporate purposes, if needed. On November 10, 2021, Millicom executed a Bridge Loan Agreement of $2.15 billion with a consortium of banks. The proceeds were used for the acquisition of Tigo Guatemala's remaining 45% shareholding (see note A.1.2.). The Bridge Loan bore a variable interest rate with a step up every three months and had a maturity period of 6 months, extendable for an additional 6 months. The initial costs of issuance amounted to $28 million and were amortized based on the six-month expected timing of refinancing of this Bridge Loan. On December 29, 2021, Millicom partially repaid $500 million of this Bridge loan, partially with Millicom's own cash and partially with proceeds from the $100 million bilateral loan with DNB bank, executed on December 20, 2021, with a variable interest rate and a 5-year maturity. On April 13, 2022, Millicom repaid $100 million of the Bridge Loan with the proceeds received from the disposal of our operations in Tanzania. The remaining balance of $350 million has been repaid in June 2022 with the proceeds of the rights offering (see note C.1. ). 8. Guatemala In October 2020, Comcel and Navega executed several credit agreements with Banco Industrial, Banco G&T Continental, Banco de America Central and Banco Agromercantil for a total amount of GTQ 3,223 million (approximately $413 million) for 5 and 7 year term to refinance other credit agreements to finance and refinance working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate purposes. On December 9, 2021, the Guatemalan operations entered into the following loan agreements: • a GTQ 950 million loan with Banco Industrial (approximately $123 million) which bears a fixed interest and matures in October 2025. • two loans for a total of GTQ 500 million with Banco G&T Continental S.A. (approximately $65 million) which bear a fixed interest rate and mature in December 2026. On March 31, 2022, Comcel executed a new 5-year $150 million loan agreement with Banco de Desarrollo Rural, S.A.. Proceeds were disbursed on April 27, 2022 and were used to refinance some of the credit agreements Comcel had with Banco Industrial. Right of set-off and derecognition Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. A financial asset (or a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when: • Rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired; or • Rights to receive cash flows from the asset or obligations to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay have been transferred to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and the Group has either transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset or the control of the asset. When rights to receive cash flows from an asset have been transferred or a pass-through arrangement concluded, an evaluation is made if and to what extent the risks and rewards of ownership have been retained.

Financial Instruments [Abstract] | |
Financial risk management | D. Financial risk management Exposure to interest rate, foreign currency, non-repatriation, liquidity, capital management and credit risks arise in the normal course of Millicom’s business. Each year Group Treasury revisits and presents to the Audit committee updated Group Treasury policy. The Group analyzes each of these financial risks individually as well as on an interconnected basis and defines and implements strategies to manage the economic impact on the Group’s performance in line with its policy. This policy was last reviewed in October 2022. As part of the annual review of the above mentioned risks, the Group targets a strategy with respect to the use of derivatives and natural hedging instruments ranging from raising debt in local currency (where the Company targets to maintain 40% of debt in local currency) to maintaining at least a 75/25% mix between fixed and floating rate debt or agreeing to cover up to six months forward of operating costs and capex denominated in non-functional currencies through a rolling and layering strategy. Millicom’s risk management strategies may include the use of derivatives to the extent a market would exist in the jurisdictions where the Group operates. Millicom’s policy prohibits the use of such derivatives in the context of speculative trading. Accounting policies for derivatives is further detailed in note C.7. On December 31, 2022 and 2021 fair value of derivatives held by the Group can be summarized as follows: 2022 2021 (US$ millions) Derivatives Cash flow hedge derivatives (34) 20 Net derivative asset (liability) (34) 20 D.1. Interest rate risk Debt and financing issued at floating interest rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. Debt and financing issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group’s exposure to risk of changes in market interest rates relate to both of the above. To manage this risk, the Group’s policy is to maintain a combination of fixed and floating rate debt with a target that more than 75% of the debt be at fixed rate. The Group actively monitors borrowings against this target. The target mix between D.1.1. Fixed and floating rate debt Financing at December 31, 2022 Amounts due within: 1 year 1–2 years 2–3 years 3–4 years 4–5 years >5 years Total (US$ millions) Fixed rate financing 131 383 501 376 718 3,466 5,574 Floating rate financing 49 12 63 402 404 300 1,230 Total 180 394 564 777 1,122 3,766 6,804 Weighted average nominal interest rate 7.68 % 5.71 % 6.11 % 7.46 % 6.49 % 5.88 % 6.22 % Financing at December 31, 2021 Amounts due within: 1 year 1–2 years 2–3 years 3–4 years 4–5 years >5 years Total (US$ millions) Fixed rate financing 91 151 460 662 372 3,219 4,956 Floating rate financing 1,750 55 26 181 386 391 2,789 Total 1,840 206 487 843 758 3,610 7,744 Weighted average nominal interest rate 1.93 % 5.97 % 5.47 % 5.86 % 5.11 % 5.34 % 5.55 % D.1.2. Interest rate swap contracts From time to time, Millicom enters into currency and interest rate swap contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and currency fluctuations in accordance with its Group Treasury policy. Details of these arrangements are provided below. MIC S.A. entered into swap contracts in order to hedge the foreign currency and interest rate risks in relation to the 2024 SEK 2 billion senior unsecured sustainability bond and the foreign currency risk in relation to the 2027 SEC 2.2 billion senior unsecured sustainability bond (issued in May 2019 and January 2022, corresponding to $207.6 million and $252.3 million , respectively, using the exchange rate at the time of the issuance of each bond - see note C.3.1.). These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges as the timing and amounts of the cash flows under the swap agreements match the cash flows under the SEK bonds. Their maturity date is May 2024 and January 2027, respectively. The hedging relationship is highly effective and related fluctuations are recorded through other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2022, the fair values of the swaps amount to a liability of $53 million. (December 31, 2021: an asset of $6 million). Our operations in Colombia and El Salvador, entered into several swap agreements in order to hedge foreign currency and interest rate risks on certain long-term debts. These swaps are accounted for as cash flow hedges and related fair value changes are recorded through other comprehensive income. As of December 31, 2022, the fair value of the swaps from our operations in El Salvador amount to a liability of nil (December 31, 2021: a liability of $1 million) and the fair value of the swaps from our operations in Colombia amounts to an asset of $19 million (December 31, 2021: an asset of $15 million). On January 19, 2022, a portion of the cross-currency swaps with Bancolombia and JP Morgan were settled in cash in favor of Colombia for $8 million. Interest rate and currency swaps are measured with reference to Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. There are no other derivative financial instruments with a significant fair value at December 31, 2022. D.2. Foreign currency risks The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures in the countries in which it operates. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. D.2.1. Debt denominated in US dollars and other currencies Debt denomination at December 31 2022 2021 (US$ millions) Debt denominated in US dollars 4,100 4,827 Debt denominated in currencies of the following countries: Guatemala 595 605 Colombia 605 699 Tanzania — 38 Bolivia 260 310 Paraguay 171 195 El Salvador(i) 173 99 Panama(i) 773 846 Luxembourg (COP denominated) 30 36 Costa Rica 96 88 Total debt denominated in other currencies 2,704 2,917 Total debt 6,804 7,744 (i) El Salvador's official unit of currency is the U.S. dollar, while Panama uses the U.S. dollar as legal tender. Our local debt in both countries is therefore denominated in U.S. dollars but presented as local currency (LCY). At December 31, 2022, if the US dollar had weakened/strengthened by 10% against the other functional currencies of our operations and all other variables held constant, then profit before tax from continuing operations would have increased/decreased b y $20 million D.3. Non-repatriation risk Most of Millicom’s operating subsidiaries and joint ventures generate most of the revenue of the Group and in the currency of the countries in which they operate. Millicom is therefore dependent on the ability of its subsidiaries and joint venture operations to transfer funds to the Company. Although foreign exchange controls exist in some of the countries in which Millicom Group companies operate, none of these controls currently significantly restrict the ability of these operations to pay interest, dividends, technical service fees, royalties or repay loans by exporting cash, instruments of credit or securities in foreign currencies. However, existing foreign exchange controls may be strengthened in countries where the Group operates, or foreign exchange controls may be introduced in countries where the Group operates that do not currently impose such restrictions. If such events were to occur, the Company’s ability to receive funds from the operations could be subsequently restricted, which would impact the Company’s ability to make payments on its interest and loans and, or pay dividends to its shareholders. As a policy, all operations which do not face restrictions to deposit funds offshore and in hard currencies should do so for the surplus cash generated on a weekly basis. The Company and its subsidiaries make use of physical cash pooling arrangements in hard currencies to the extent permitted. In addition, in some countries it may be difficult to convert large amounts of local currency into foreign currency because of limited foreign exchange markets. The practical effects of this may be time delays in accumulating significant amounts of foreign currency and exchange risk, which could have an adverse effect on the Group. This is a relatively rare case for the countries in which the Group operates. D.4. Credit and counterparty risk Financial instruments that subject the Group to credit risk include cash and cash equivalents, pledged deposits, letters of credit, trade receivables, amounts due from joint venture partners and associates, supplier advances and other current assets and derivatives. Counterparties to agreements relating to the Group’s cash and cash equivalents, pledged deposits and letters of credit are significant financial institutions with investment grade ratings. Management does not believe there are significant risks of non-performance by these counterparties and maintain a diversified portfolio of banking partners. Allocation of deposits across banks are managed such that the Group’s counterparty risk with a given bank stays within limits which have been set, based on each bank’s credit rating. A large portion of revenue of the Group is comprised of prepaid products and services. For postpaid customers, the Group follows risk control procedures to assess the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Accounts receivable also comprise balances due from other telecom operators. Credit risk of other telecom operators is limited due to the regulatory nature of the telecom industry, in which licenses are normally only issued to credit-worthy companies. The Group maintains a provision for expected credit losses of trade receivables based on its historical credit loss experience. D.5. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Group has significant indebtedness but also has significant cash balances. Millicom evaluates its ability to meet its obligations on an ongoing basis using a recurring liquidity planning tool. This tool considers the operating net cash flows generated from its operations and the future cash needs for borrowing, interest payments, dividend payments and capital and operating expenditures required in maintaining and developing its operating businesses. The Group manages its liquidity risk through use of bank overdrafts, bank loans, bonds, vendor financing, Export Credit Agencies and Development Finance Institutions (DFI) loans. Millicom believes that there is sufficient liquidity available in the markets to meet ongoing liquidity needs. Additionally, Millicom is able to arrange offshore funding. Millicom has a diversified financing portfolio with commercial banks representing about 23% of its gross financing (2021: 41%), bonds 64% (2021: 46%) and leases 13% (2021: 13%).

Capital management The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure a strong credit rating and solid capital ratios in order to support its business and maximize shareholder value. The Group manages its capital structure with reference to local economic conditions and imposed restrictions such as debt covenants. To maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Group may make dividend payments to shareholders, return capital to shareholders through share repurchases or issue new shares. At December 31, 2022, Millicom was rated at one notch below investment grade by the independent rating agencies Moody’s (Ba1 stable) and Fitch (BB+ stable). The Group primarily monitors capital using net financial obligations to EBITDA. The Group reviews its gearing ratio (net financial obligations divided by total capital plus net financial obligations) periodically. Net financial obligations includes interest bearing debt and lease liabilities, less cash and cash equivalents (included restricted cash) and pledged and time deposits related to bank borrowings. Capital represents equity attributable to the equity holders of the parent. Net financial obligations to EBITDA Note 2022 2021 (US$ millions) Net financial obligations (i) C.6. 6,780 7,981 EBITDA B.3. 2,228 1,517 Net financial obligations to EBITDA (ii) 3.04 5.26 (i) 'Net financial obligations' is debt and lease liabilities less cash and pledged and time deposits. (ii) The ratio is above 3.0x on an IFRS basis. However, according to the terms of our indentures, this ratio is calculated on a different basis, resulting in a ratio below 3.0x for covenant purposes. Also, the ratio in 2021 is artificially high as the full debt of Tigo Guatemala had been consolidated from the acquisition date on November 12, 2021, while the Group consolidated only 1.5 months of Tigo Guatemala's EBITDA.

Subclassifications of assets, liabilities and equities [abstract] | |
Long-term assets | Long-term assetsIntangible assets Millicom’s intangible assets mainly consist of goodwill arising from acquisitions, customer lists acquired through acquisitions, licenses and rights to operate and use spectrum.Accounting for intangible assets Intangible assets acquired in business acquisitions are initially measured at fair value at the date of acquisition, and those which are acquired separately are measured at cost. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized but expensed to the statement of income in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible assets. Subsequently intangible assets are carried at cost, less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful economic lives using the straight-line method and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at least at each financial year end. Changes in expected useful lives or the expected beneficial use of the assets are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting estimates. Amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible assets. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of cost of an acquisition over the Group’s share in the fair value of identifiable assets less liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired subsidiary, at the date of the acquisition. If the fair value or the cost of the acquisition can only be determined provisionally, then goodwill is initially accounted for using provisional values. Within 12 months of the acquisition date, any adjustments to the provisional values are recognized. This is done when the fair values and the cost of the acquisition have been finally determined. Adjustments to provisional fair values are made as if the adjusted fair values had been recognized from the acquisition date. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets, net. Goodwill on acquisition of joint ventures or associates is included in investments in joint ventures and associates. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost, less any accumulated impairment losses. Gains or losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed of in this manner is measured, based on the relative values of the operation disposed and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. Licenses Licenses are recorded at either historical cost or, if acquired in a business combination, at fair value at the date of acquisition. Cost includes cost of acquisition and other costs directly related to acquisition and retention of licenses over the license period. These costs may include up-front and deferred payments as well as estimates related to fulfillment of terms and conditions related to the licenses such as service or coverage obligations, especially when there is a clear objective evidence that the cost of fulfilling these obligations will be significantly onerous for the Group. Licenses have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the licenses over their estimated useful lives. The terms of licenses, which have been awarded for various periods, are subject to periodic review for, among other things, rate setting, frequency allocation and technical standards. Licenses are initially measured at cost and are amortized from the date the network is available for use on a straight-line basis over the license period. Licenses held, subject to certain conditions, are usually renewable and generally non-exclusive. When estimating useful lives of licenses, renewal periods are included only if there is evidence to support renewal by the Group without significant cost. Trademarks and customer lists Trademarks and customer lists are recognized as intangible assets only when acquired or gained in a business combination. Their cost represents fair value at the date of acquisition. Trademarks and customer lists have indefinite or finite useful lives. Trademarks and customer lists used by the Group for its own activities are unlikely to generate largely independent cash inflows and therefore are tested for impairment annually together with other assets at each cash-generating unit level. Finite useful life trademarks are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the trademarks and customer lists over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives for trademarks and customer lists are based on specific characteristics of the market in which they exist. Trademarks and customer lists are included in Intangible assets, net. Estimated useful lives are: Years Estimated useful lives Trademarks 1 to 15 Customer lists 4 to 20 Programming and content rights Programming and content master rights which are purchased or acquired in business combinations which meet certain criteria are recorded at cost as intangible assets. The rights must be exclusive, related to specific assets which are sufficiently developed, and probable to bring future economic benefits and have validity for more than one year. Cost includes consideration paid or payable and other costs directly related to the acquisition of the rights, and are recognized at the earlier of payment or commencement of the broadcasting period to which the rights relate. Programming and content rights capitalized as intangible assets have a finite useful life and are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the rights over their estimated useful lives. Non-exclusive and programming and content rights for periods less than one Indefeasible rights of use There is no universally-accepted definition of an indefeasible rights of use (IRU). These agreements come in many forms. However, the key characteristics of a typical arrangement include: • The right to use specified network infrastructure or capacity; • For a specified term (often the majority of the useful life of the relevant assets); • Legal title is not transferred; • A number of associated service agreements including operations and maintenance (O&M) and co-location agreements. These are typically for the same term as the IRU; and • Any payments are usually made in advance. IRUs are accounted for either as a lease, or service contract based on the substance of the underlying agreement. IRU arrangements will qualify as a lease if, and when: • The purchaser has an exclusive right for a specified period and has the ability to resell (or sublet) the capacity; and • The capacity is physically limited and defined; and • The purchaser bears all costs related to the capacity (directly or not) including costs of operation, administration and maintenance; and • The purchaser bears the risk of obsolescence during the contract term. If all of these criteria are not met, the IRU is treated as a service contract. An IRU of network infrastructure (cables or fiber) is accounted for as a right of use asset (see E.3.), while capacity IRU (wavelength) is accounted for as an intangible asset. At each reporting date Millicom assesses whether there is an indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for a non-financial asset is required, an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount is made. The recoverable amount is determined based on the higher of its fair value less cost to sell, and its value in use, for individual assets, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Where no comparable market information is available, the fair value, less cost to sell, is determined based on the estimated future cash flows discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market conditions for the time value of money and risks specific to the asset. The foregoing analysis also evaluates the appropriateness of the expected useful lives of the assets. Impairment losses related to assets of continuing operations are recognized in the consolidated statement of income in expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. At each reporting date an assessment is made as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. Other than for goodwill, a previously recognized impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If so, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. The increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in profit or loss.

Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Goodwill arising on business combinations is allocated to each of the Group’s CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated: • Represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes; and • Is not larger than an operating segment. Impairment is determined by assessing the value-in-use and, if appropriate, the fair value less costs to sell of the CGU (or group of CGUs), to which goodwill relates. Impairment testing at December 31, 2022 Goodwill and indefinite useful life trademarks were tested for impairment by assessing the recoverable amount against the carrying amount of the CGU based on discounted cash flows. The recoverable amounts are based on value-in-use. The value-in-use is determined based on the method of discounted cash flows. The cash flow projections used (operating profit margins, income tax, working capital, capex and license renewal cost) are extracted from business plans approved by management and presented to the Board, covering a fifteen-year planning horizon. The Group uses a fifteen-year planning horizon to obtain a stable business outlook, in particular due to the long investment cycles in the industry and the long-term planned and expected investments in licenses and spectrum. Cash flows beyond this period are extrapolated using a perpetual growth rate. Management validates the reasonableness of the results of the test by comparing the share price implied by the 'sum of the parts' with the market share price. Any gap is reviewed, analyzed and documented. When value-in-use results are lower than the carrying values of the CGUs, management determines the recoverable amount by using the fair value less cost of disposal (FVLCD) of the CGUs. FVLCD is usually determined by using recent offers received from third parties (Level 1). For the year ended December 31, 2022, management concluded that no impairment should be recorded in the Group consolidated financial statements. Impairment testing at December 31, 2021 For the year ended December 31, 2021, management concluded that no impairment should be recorded in the Group consolidated financial statements. Key assumptions used in value in use calculations The process of preparing the cash flow projections considers the current market condition of each CGU, analyzing the macroeconomic, competitive, regulatory and technological environments, as well as the growth opportunities of the CGUs. Therefore, a growth target is defined for each CGU, based on the appropriate allocation of operating resources and the capital investments required to achieve the target. The foregoing forecasts could differ from the results obtained through time; however, the Company prepares its estimates based on the current situation of each of the CGUs. Relevance of budgets used for the impairment test is also reviewed annually, with management performing regressive analysis between actual figures and budget/Long Range Plans (LRPs) used for previous year impairment test. The cash flow projections for all CGUs is most sensitive to the following key assumptions: • EBITDA margin is determined by dividing EBITDA by total revenues. • CAPEX intensity is determined by dividing CAPEX by total revenues. • Perpetual growth rate does not exceed the countries' GDP. • Weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) is used to discount the projected cash flows. The most significant estimates used for the 2022 and 2021 impairment test are shown below: CGU Average EBITDA margin (%) (i) Average CAPEX intensity (%) (i) Perpetual growth rate (%) WACC rate after tax (%) 2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 2021 Bolivia 41.2 42.7 15.2 16.6 1.0 1.0 9.8 11.6 Colombia 36.0 36.1 17.2 17.4 2.0 2.0 11.4 8.9 Guatemala 51.2 54.7 11.6 12.3 1.0 1.0 10.1 8.4 Costa Rica 37.5 35.5 15.5 15.1 2.0 2.0 11.8 11.1 El Salvador 41.0 39.3 13.0 12.9 1.0 1.0 14.1 14.7 Nicaragua 46.8 45.9 14.5 16.0 2.5 3.0 15.0 12.5 Panamá 46.9 47.0 14.9 17.2 1.0 1.0 8.8 7.0 Paraguay 44.5 42.6 14.9 15.4 1.0 1.0 10.0 8.3 Tanzania n/a 38.0 n/a 12.5 n/a 1.0 n/a 13.2 (i) Average is computed over the period covered by the plan. Sensitivity analysis to changes in assumptions Management performed a sensitivity analysis on key assumptions within the test. The following maximum increases or decreases, expressed in percentage points, were considered for all CGUs: Reasonable changes in key assumptions (%) Financial variables 2022 2021 WACC rates +/- 2 +/-1 Perpetual growth rates +/-1 +/-1 Operating variables EBITDA margin +/-2 +/-2 CAPEX intensity +/-1 +/-1 At December 31, 2022, the sensitivity analysis shows a comfortable headroom between the recoverable amounts and the carrying values for all CGUs, except for Colombia and Nicaragua. If the assumptions used in the impairment test were changed to a greater extent than as presented in the following table, the changes would, in isolation, trigger a potential impairment loss being recognised in the year ended December 31, 2022. Change required for carrying value to equal recoverable amount CGU Colombia Nicaragua Financial variables WACC rate +82bps +117bps Perpetual growth rates n/a n/a Operating variables Average EBITDA margin -107bps n/a CAPEX intensity +13bps n/a At December 31, 2021the sensitivity analysis shows a comfortable headroom between the recoverable amounts and the carrying values for all CGUs. Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to acquisition of items. The carrying amount of replaced parts is derecognized. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the remaining life of the license associated with the assets, unless the renewal of the license is contractually possible. Estimated useful lives Duration Buildings Up to 40 years Networks (including civil works) 5 to 15 years Other 2 to 7 years The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The assets’ residual value and useful life is reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if its carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Construction in progress consists of the cost of assets, labor and other direct costs associated with property, plant and equipment being constructed by the Group, or purchased assets which have yet to be deployed. When the assets become operational, the related costs are transferred from construction in progress to the appropriate asset category and depreciation commences. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Ongoing routine repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of income in the financial period in which they are incurred. Costs of major inspections and overhauls are added to the carrying value of property, plant and equipment and the carrying amount of previous major inspections and overhauls is derecognised. Equipment installed on customer premises which is not sold to customers is capitalized and amortized over the customer contract period. A liability for the present value of the cost to remove an asset on both owned and leased sites (for example cell towers) and for assets installed on customer premises (for example set-top boxes), is recognized when a present obligation for the removal exists. The corresponding cost of the obligation is included in the cost of the asset and depreciated over the useful life of the asset, or lease period if shorter. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset when it is probable that such costs will contribute to future economic benefits for the Group and the costs can be measured reliably.

The Group recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) applying a simplified approach in calculating the ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime of ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. The provision for expected credit losses is recognized in the consolidated statement of income within 'Cost of sales'. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

The major part of this payable is related to the acquisition, in December 2019, of licenses granting the right to use a total of 40 MHz in the 700 MHz band. This 20-year license will expire in 2040. During the same auction, Tigo Colombia also acquired 55 MHz in the 1900 band and 30 MHz of AWS. Tigo Colombia agreed to a total notional consideration of COP 2.45 billion (equivalent to approximately $615 million using the December 31, 2022 exchange rate), of which approximately 55% is payable in cash and 45% in coverage obligations to be met by 2025. An initial payment of approximately $33 million was made in 2020, with the remainder payable in 12 annual installments beginning in 2026 and ending in 2037. The 55% cash portion bears interest at the Colombia-10 years Treasury Bond rate. In April and May 2020, local management received permission to operate 40 Mhz in the 700 MHz band and accounted for the spectrum as an Intangible asset at an amount of $388 million corresponding to the net present value of the future payments, plus other costs directly attributable to this acquisition.

While it is not possible to ascertain the ultimate legal and financial liability with respect to these claims and risks, the ultimate outcome is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Group’s financial position and operations. On May 25, 2020, as a result of the termination of the Costa Rica acquisition, Telefónica filed a complaint, followed by an amended complaint on August 3, 2020, against us in the Supreme Court of New York. The amended complaint asserts claims for breach of contract and alleges, among other things, that we were required to close the transaction because the closing conditions specified in the sale and purchase agreement for the acquisition had been satisfied. The complaint seeks, among other relief, a declaration of Telefónica’s rights, and unspecified damages, costs, and fees. We believe the complaint is without merit and that our position will ultimately be vindicated through the judicial process. Other by the Group, through negotiations with relevant tax authorities or through litigation, can take several years to complete and, in some cases, it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome. Therefore, judgment is required to determine liabilities for taxes. In assessing whether and how an uncertain tax treatment affects the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, the Group assumes that a taxation authority with the right to examine amounts reported to it will examine those amounts and have full knowledge of all relevant information when making those examinations. The Group has a process in place, and applies significant judgment, in identifying uncertainties over income tax treatments. Management considers whether or not it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. On that basis, the identified risks are split into three categories (i) remote risks (risk of outflow of tax payments are up to 20%), (ii) possible risks (risk of outflow of tax payments assessed from 21% to 49%) and probable risks (risk of outflow is more than 50%). The process is repeated every quarter by the Group. If the Group concludes that it is probable or certain that the taxation authority will accept the tax treatment, the risks are categorized either as possible or remote, and it determines the taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates consistently with the tax treatment used or planned to be used in its income tax filings. The risks considered as possible are not provisioned but disclosed as tax contingencies in the Group consolidated financial statements while remote risks are neither provisioned nor disclosed. If the Group concludes that it is probable that the taxation authority will not accept the Group’s interpretation of the uncertain tax treatment, the risks are categorized as probable, and are presented to reflect the effect of uncertainty in determining the related taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates by generally using the most likely amount method – the single most likely amount in a range of possible outcomes. If an uncertain tax treatment affects both deferred tax and current tax, the Group makes consistent estimates and judgments for both. For example, an uncertain tax treatment may affect both taxable profits used to determine the current tax and tax bases used to determine deferred tax. If facts and circumstances change, the Group reassesses the judgments and estimates regarding the uncertain tax position taken. At December 31, 2022, the tax risks exposure of the Group's subsidiaries is estimated at $221 million, for which provisions of $38 million ha ve been recorded in tax liabilities; representing the probable amount of eventual claims and required payments related to those risks (2021: $342 million of which provisions of $69 million were recorded). The decrease compared to December 31, 2021 mainly relates to the sale of our operations in Tanzania as well as the adherence to a tax amnesty in one of our operations. The Groups' share of comparable tax exposure and provisions in its joint ventures amounts to $97 million (2021: $68 million) and $7 million (2021: $3 million), respectively.

Empresas Públicas de Medellín (EPM) EPM is a state-owned, industrial and commercial enterprise, owned by the municipality of Medellin, and provides electricity, gas, water, sanitation, and telecommunications. EPM owns 50% of our operations in Colombia. Transactions with EPM represent mainly purchases in the form of leases. Miffin Associates Corp (Miffin) As mentioned above, Miffin ceased to be a related party to the Group from November 12, 2021. Transactions with Miffin represented recurring commercial operations such as purchase of handsets, and sale of airtime.

Disclosure of changes in accounting policies, accounting estimates and errors [Abstract] | |
Foreign currency and Foreign exchange gains and losses | Foreign currency Financial information in these financial statements are shown in the US dollar presentation currency of the Group and rounded to the nearest million (US$ million) except where otherwise indicated. The financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates (the functional currency). The functional currency of each subsidiary, joint venture and associate reflects the economic substance of the underlying events and circumstances of these entities. Except for El Salvador where the functional currency is US dollar, the functional currency in other countries is the local currency. The results and financial position of all Group entities (none of which operate in an economy with a hyperinflationary environment) with functional currency other than the US dollar presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows: (i) Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate on the date of the statement of financial position; (ii) Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates (unless this average is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions); and (iii) All resulting exchange differences are recognized as a separate component of equity (currency translation reserve), in the caption “Other reserves”. On consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of net investments in foreign operations, and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are recorded in equity. When the Group disposes of or loses control or significant influence over a foreign operation, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognized in the consolidated statement of income as part of gain or loss on sale or loss of control and/or significant influence. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and translated at the closing rate. |
Accounting for subsidiaries and non-controlling interest | A.1.1. Accounting for subsidiaries and non-controlling interests Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to Millicom. If facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control, a reassessment is performed to determine if control still exists. Subsidiaries are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Transactions with non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with equity owners of the Group. Gains or losses on disposals of non-controlling interests are recorded in equity. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is also recorded in equity. |
Accounting for joint ventures | Accounting for joint ventures Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost (calculated at fair value if it was a subsidiary of the Group before becoming a joint venture). The Group’s investments in joint ventures include goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) on acquisition. The Group’s share of post-acquisition profits or losses of joint ventures is recognized in the consolidated statement of income and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognized in reserves. Cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investments. When the Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless the Group has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures. Gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint ventures. Losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Dilution gains and losses arising in investments in joint ventures are recognized in the statement of income. |
Accounting for investments in associates | Accounting for investments in associates The Group accounts for associates in the same way as it accounts for joint ventures. |
Classification of discontinued operations | A.4.1. Classification of discontinued operations Discontinued operations are those which have identifiable operations and cash flows (for both operating and management purposes) and represent a major line of business or geographic area which has been disposed of, or are held for sale. Revenue and expenses associated with discontinued operations are presented retrospectively in a separate line in the consolidated statement of income. |
Accounting for revenue | Accounting for revenue Revenue recognition Revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Group applies the following practical expedients foreseen in IFRS 15: • No adjustment to the transaction price for the means of a financing component whenever the period between the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and the associated payment is one year or less; when the period is more than one year the financing component is adjusted, if material. • Disclosure in the Group Financial Statements the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations only for contracts that have an original expected duration of more than one year (e.g. unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts that have an original duration of one year or less are not disclosed). • Application of the practical expedient not to disclose the price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations, if the consideration from a customer corresponds to the value of the entity’s performance obligation to the customer (i.e, if billing corresponds to accounting revenue). • Application of the practical expedient to recognize the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred if the amortization period of the asset that otherwise would have been recognized is one year or less. Post-paid connection fees are derived from the payment of a non-refundable / one-time fee charged to customer to connect to the network (e.g. connection / installation fee). Usually, it does not represent a distinct good or service, and therefore does not give rise to a separate performance obligation and revenue is recognized over the minimum contract duration. However, if the fee is paid by a customer to get the right to receive goods or services without having to pay this fee again over his tenure with the Group (e.g. the customer can readily extend his contract without having to pay the same fee again), it is accounted for as a material right and revenue should be recognized over the customer retention period. Post-paid mobile / cable subscription fees are recognized over the relevant enforceable/subscribed service period (recurring monthly access fees that do not vary based on usage). The service provision is usually considered as a series of distinct services that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Remaining unrecognized subscription fees, which are not refunded to the customers, are fully recognized once the customer has been disconnected. Prepaid scratch / SIM cards are services where customers purchase a specified amount of airtime or other credit in advance. Revenue is recognized as the credit is used. Unused credit is carried in the statement of financial position as a contract liability. Upon expiration of the validity period, the portion of the contract liability relating to the expiring credit is recognized as revenue, since there is no longer an obligation to provide those services. Telephone and equipment sales are recognized as revenue once the customer obtains control of the good. That criteria is fulfilled when the customer has the ability to direct the use and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from that good. Revenue from provision of Mobile Financial Services (MFS), such as commissions on peer to peer transfers, is generally recognized once the primary service has been provided to the customer. Revenue from interest earned on loans granted to customers are recognised over the period of the loan and are based on effective interest rates. Loan origination fees are treated as an adjustment to the effective interest rate. Customer premise equipment (CPE) are provided to customers as a prerequisite to receive the subscribed Home services and shall be returned at the end of the contract duration. Since CPEs provided over the contract term do not provide benefit to the customer on their own, they do not give rise to separate performance obligations and therefore are accounted for as part of the service provided to the customers. Bundled offers are considered arrangements with multiple deliverables or elements, which can lead to the identification of separate performance obligations. Revenue is recognized in accordance with the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the relative standalone selling price of the performance obligation (e.g. sale of telecom services, revenue over time + sale of handset, revenue at a point in time). Principal-Agent, some arrangements involve two or more unrelated parties that contribute to providing a specified good or service to a customer. In these instances, the Group determines whether it has promised to provide the specified good or service itself (as a principal) or to arrange for those specified goods or services to be provided by another party (as an agent). For example, performance obligations relating to services provided by third-party content providers (i.e., mobile Value Added Services or “VAS”) or service providers (i.e., wholesale international traffic) where the Group neither controls a right to the provider’s service nor controls the underlying service itself are presented net because the Group is acting as an agent. The Group generally acts as a principal for other types of services where the Group is the primary obligor of the arrangement. In cases the Group determines that it acts as a principal, revenue is recognized in the gross amount, whereas in cases the Group acts as an agent revenue is recognized in the net amount. Revenue from the sale of cables, fiber, wavelength or capacity contracts, when part of the ordinary activities of the operation, is recognized as recurring revenue. Revenue is recognized when the cable, fiber, wavelength or capacity has been delivered to the customer, based on the amount expected to be received from the customer. Revenue from operating lease of tower space is recognized on a straight-line basis over the period of the underlying lease contracts. Finance leases revenue is apportioned between lease of tower space and interest income. Significant judgments The determination of the standalone selling price for contracts that involve more than one performance obligation may require significant judgment, such as when the selling price of a good or service is not readily observable. |
Accounting for cost of sales and operating expenses | B.2.1. Accounting for cost of sales and operating expenses Cost of sales Cost of sales is recorded on an accrual basis. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract Incremental costs of obtaining a contract, including dealer commissions, are capitalized as Contract Costs in the statement of financial position and amortized in operating expenses over the expected benefit period, which is based on the average duration of contracts with customer (see practical expedient in note B.1.1.). |
Segmental information | B.3. Segmental information Management determines operating and reportable segments based on information used by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make strategic and operational decisions from both a business and geographic perspective. The Millicom Group’s risks and rates of return for its operations were predominantly affected by operating in different geographical regions. Until the divestiture of our Tanzania business, as discussed above, the Millicom Group had businesses in two main regions, Latin America and Africa, which constituted our two reportable segments. As a result of the sale of the Tanzania business and its classification as a discontinued operation, we no longer report an Africa segment in our financial statements and will no longer report it for future periods. The Group now only operates in a single region, Latin America. As a result, the Group now reports a single segment, called the "Group Segment," which includes the results of our Latin American operations, and regional and central corporate costs. Group Segment figures will continue to include our Honduras joint venture as if it was fully consolidated, as this reflects the way management reviews and uses internally reported information to make decisions about operating matters and to provide increased transparency to investors on those operations. Group Segment figures also include our operations in Guatemala as if they were fully consolidated for all comparative periods, for the same reasons. On November 12, 2021, we acquired the remaining 45% equity interest in our Guatemala joint venture business, and we now fully consolidate our operations in Guatemala. Prior to this date, we held a 55% stake in our operations in Guatemala and accounted for it using the equity method of accounting, along with our operations in Honduras. |
Share-based compensation | The cost of these plans is recognized, together with a corresponding increase in equity (share compensation reserve), over the period in which the performance and/or employment conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which the relevant employees become fully entitled to the award. Adjustments are made to the expense recorded for forfeitures, mainly due to management and employees leaving Millicom. Non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest, except for awards where vesting is conditional upon a market condition (such as the Relative TSR). These are treated as vested, regardless of whether or not the market conditions are |
Pension and other long-term employee benefit plans | Pension and other long-term employee benefit plans Pension plans The pension plans apply to employees who meet certain criteria (including years of service, age and participation in collective agreements). Pension and other similar employee related obligations can result from either defined contribution plans or defined benefit plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. No further payment obligations exist once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expenses when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as assets to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in future payments is available. Defined benefit pension plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The liability recognized in the statement of financial position in respect of the defined benefit pension plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the statement of financial position date less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows, using an appropriate discount rate based on maturities of the related pension liability. Re-measurement of net defined benefit liabilities are recognized in other comprehensive income and not reclassified to the statement of income in subsequent years. Past service costs are recognized in the statement of income on the earlier of the date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and the date that the Group recognizes related restructuring costs. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit asset/liability. Long-service plans Long-service plans apply for Colombian subsidiary UNE employees with more than five years of service whereby additional bonuses are paid to employees that reach each incremental length of service milestone (from five Termination plans In addition, UNE has a number of employee defined benefit plans. The level of benefits provided under the plans depends on collective employment agreements and Colombian labor regulations. There are no defined assets related to the plans, and UNE make payments to settle obligations under the plans out of available cash balances. At December 31, 2022, the defined benefit obligation liability amounted to $37 million (2021: $42 million) and payments expected in the plans in future years totals $77 million (2021: $81 million). The average duration of the defined benefit obligation at December 31, 2022 is 4 yea rs (2021: 5 years). The termination plans apply to employees that joined UNE prior to December 30, 1996. The level of payments depends on the number of years in which the employee has worked before retirement or termination of their contract with UNE. |
Deferred tax | B.6.3. Deferred tax Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method on temporary differences at the statement of financial position date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting, nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all temporary differences including unused tax credits and tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized, except where the deferred tax assets relate to deductible temporary differences from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination, and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting, nor taxable profit or loss. It is probable that taxable profit will be available when there are sufficient taxable temporary differences relating to the same tax authority and the same taxable entity which are expected to reverse in the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to utilize them. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each statement of financial position date and are recognized to the extent it is probable that future taxable profit will enable the asset to be recovered. |
Earnings per share | B.7. Earnings per share Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net profit for the year attributable to equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during each year. |
Share capital, share premium and reserves | C.1. Share capital, share premium and reserves Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds. |
Accounting for intangible assets | E.1.1. Accounting for intangible assets Intangible assets acquired in business acquisitions are initially measured at fair value at the date of acquisition, and those which are acquired separately are measured at cost. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized but expensed to the statement of income in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible assets. Subsequently intangible assets are carried at cost, less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful economic lives using the straight-line method and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for intangible assets with finite useful lives are reviewed at least at each financial year end. Changes in expected useful lives or the expected beneficial use of the assets are accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and treated as changes in accounting estimates. Amortization expense on intangible assets with finite lives is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in the expense category consistent with the function of the intangible assets. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of cost of an acquisition over the Group’s share in the fair value of identifiable assets less liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquired subsidiary, at the date of the acquisition. If the fair value or the cost of the acquisition can only be determined provisionally, then goodwill is initially accounted for using provisional values. Within 12 months of the acquisition date, any adjustments to the provisional values are recognized. This is done when the fair values and the cost of the acquisition have been finally determined. Adjustments to provisional fair values are made as if the adjusted fair values had been recognized from the acquisition date. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets, net. Goodwill on acquisition of joint ventures or associates is included in investments in joint ventures and associates. Following initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost, less any accumulated impairment losses. Gains or losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit (or group of cash-generating units) and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal. Goodwill disposed of in this manner is measured, based on the relative values of the operation disposed and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained. Licenses Licenses are recorded at either historical cost or, if acquired in a business combination, at fair value at the date of acquisition. Cost includes cost of acquisition and other costs directly related to acquisition and retention of licenses over the license period. These costs may include up-front and deferred payments as well as estimates related to fulfillment of terms and conditions related to the licenses such as service or coverage obligations, especially when there is a clear objective evidence that the cost of fulfilling these obligations will be significantly onerous for the Group. Licenses have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the licenses over their estimated useful lives. The terms of licenses, which have been awarded for various periods, are subject to periodic review for, among other things, rate setting, frequency allocation and technical standards. Licenses are initially measured at cost and are amortized from the date the network is available for use on a straight-line basis over the license period. Licenses held, subject to certain conditions, are usually renewable and generally non-exclusive. When estimating useful lives of licenses, renewal periods are included only if there is evidence to support renewal by the Group without significant cost. Trademarks and customer lists Trademarks and customer lists are recognized as intangible assets only when acquired or gained in a business combination. Their cost represents fair value at the date of acquisition. Trademarks and customer lists have indefinite or finite useful lives. Trademarks and customer lists used by the Group for its own activities are unlikely to generate largely independent cash inflows and therefore are tested for impairment annually together with other assets at each cash-generating unit level. Finite useful life trademarks are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the trademarks and customer lists over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives for trademarks and customer lists are based on specific characteristics of the market in which they exist. Trademarks and customer lists are included in Intangible assets, net. Estimated useful lives are: Years Estimated useful lives Trademarks 1 to 15 Customer lists 4 to 20 Programming and content rights Programming and content master rights which are purchased or acquired in business combinations which meet certain criteria are recorded at cost as intangible assets. The rights must be exclusive, related to specific assets which are sufficiently developed, and probable to bring future economic benefits and have validity for more than one year. Cost includes consideration paid or payable and other costs directly related to the acquisition of the rights, and are recognized at the earlier of payment or commencement of the broadcasting period to which the rights relate. Programming and content rights capitalized as intangible assets have a finite useful life and are carried at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of the rights over their estimated useful lives. Non-exclusive and programming and content rights for periods less than one Indefeasible rights of use There is no universally-accepted definition of an indefeasible rights of use (IRU). These agreements come in many forms. However, the key characteristics of a typical arrangement include: • The right to use specified network infrastructure or capacity; • For a specified term (often the majority of the useful life of the relevant assets); • Legal title is not transferred; • A number of associated service agreements including operations and maintenance (O&M) and co-location agreements. These are typically for the same term as the IRU; and • Any payments are usually made in advance. IRUs are accounted for either as a lease, or service contract based on the substance of the underlying agreement. IRU arrangements will qualify as a lease if, and when: • The purchaser has an exclusive right for a specified period and has the ability to resell (or sublet) the capacity; and • The capacity is physically limited and defined; and • The purchaser bears all costs related to the capacity (directly or not) including costs of operation, administration and maintenance; and • The purchaser bears the risk of obsolescence during the contract term. If all of these criteria are not met, the IRU is treated as a service contract. An IRU of network infrastructure (cables or fiber) is accounted for as a right of use asset (see E.3.), while capacity IRU (wavelength) is accounted for as an intangible asset. |
Impairment of non-financial assets | E.1.2. Impairment of non-financial assets At each reporting date Millicom assesses whether there is an indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for a non-financial asset is required, an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount is made. The recoverable amount is determined based on the higher of its fair value less cost to sell, and its value in use, for individual assets, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Where no comparable market information is available, the fair value, less cost to sell, is determined based on the estimated future cash flows discounted to their present value using a discount rate that reflects current market conditions for the time value of money and risks specific to the asset. The foregoing analysis also evaluates the appropriateness of the expected useful lives of the assets. Impairment losses related to assets of continuing operations are recognized in the consolidated statement of income in expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset. At each reporting date an assessment is made as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. Other than for goodwill, a previously recognized impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimate used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If so, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. The increased amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in profit or loss. |
Impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite useful life trademarks | Goodwill and indefinite useful life trademarks from CGUs are tested for impairment at least once a year and more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Goodwill arising on business combinations is allocated to each of the Group’s CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the Group are assigned to those units or groups of units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated: • Represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes; and • Is not larger than an operating segment. |
Accounting for property, plant and equipment | E.2.1. Accounting for property, plant and equipment Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to acquisition of items. The carrying amount of replaced parts is derecognized. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the remaining life of the license associated with the assets, unless the renewal of the license is contractually possible. Estimated useful lives Duration Buildings Up to 40 years Networks (including civil works) 5 to 15 years Other 2 to 7 years The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The assets’ residual value and useful life is reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if its carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount. Construction in progress consists of the cost of assets, labor and other direct costs associated with property, plant and equipment being constructed by the Group, or purchased assets which have yet to be deployed. When the assets become operational, the related costs are transferred from construction in progress to the appropriate asset category and depreciation commences. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Ongoing routine repairs and maintenance are charged to the statement of income in the financial period in which they are incurred. Costs of major inspections and overhauls are added to the carrying value of property, plant and equipment and the carrying amount of previous major inspections and overhauls is derecognised. Equipment installed on customer premises which is not sold to customers is capitalized and amortized over the customer contract period. A liability for the present value of the cost to remove an asset on both owned and leased sites (for example cell towers) and for assets installed on customer premises (for example set-top boxes), is recognized when a present obligation for the removal exists. The corresponding cost of the obligation is included in the cost of the asset and depreciated over the useful life of the asset, or lease period if shorter. Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset when it is probable that such costs will contribute to future economic benefits for the Group and the costs can be measured reliably. |
Right of use assets | Right of use assets Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following: • the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received • any initial direct costs, and • restoration costs |
Assets held for sale and Classification | E.4. Assets held for sale If Millicom decides to sell subsidiaries, investments in joint ventures or associates, or specific non-current assets in its businesses, these items qualify as assets held for sale if certain conditions are met and necessary regulatory approvals obtained.E.4.1. ClassificationNon-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as assets held for sale and stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount is expected to be recovered principally through sale, not through continuing use. Liabilities of disposal groups are classified as Liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale. |
Trade receivables | Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for expected credit losses. The Group recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) applying a simplified approach in calculating the ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime of ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. The provision for expected credit losses is recognized in the consolidated statement of income within 'Cost of sales'. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those maturing more than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified within non-current assets. Loans and receivables are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains and losses are recognized in the statement of income when the loans and receivables are derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process. |
Inventories | F.2. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. |
Trade payables | F.3. Trade payables Trade payables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method where the effect of the passage of time is material. From time to time, the Group enters into agreements to extend payment terms with various suppliers, and with factoring companies when such payments are discounted. The corresponding amount pending payment as of December 31, 2022, is recognized in 'Trade payables' for an amount of $17 million |
Current and non-current provisions and other liabilities | F.4. Current and non-current provisions and other liabilities Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, if it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Where the Group expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. |
Tax related risks and uncertain tax position and Current tax assets and liabilities | B.6.2. Current tax assets and liabilities Current tax assets and liabilities for current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rate and tax laws used to compute the amount are those enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date.Tax related risks and uncertain tax positionThe Group operates in developing countries where the tax systems, regulations and enforcement processes have varying stages of development creating uncertainty regarding the application of the tax law and interpretation of tax treatments. The Group is also subject to regular tax audits in the countries where it operates. When there is uncertainty over whether the taxation authority will accept a specific tax treatment under the local tax law, that tax treatment is therefore uncertain. The resolution of tax positions taken by the Group, through negotiations with relevant tax authorities or through litigation, can take several years to complete and, in some cases, it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome. Therefore, judgment is required to determine liabilities for taxes. In assessing whether and how an uncertain tax treatment affects the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, the Group assumes that a taxation authority with the right to examine amounts reported to it will examine those amounts and have full knowledge of all relevant information when making those examinations. The Group has a process in place, and applies significant judgment, in identifying uncertainties over income tax treatments. Management considers whether or not it is probable that a taxation authority will accept an uncertain tax treatment. On that basis, the identified risks are split into three categories (i) remote risks (risk of outflow of tax payments are up to 20%), (ii) possible risks (risk of outflow of tax payments assessed from 21% to 49%) and probable risks (risk of outflow is more than 50%). The process is repeated every quarter by the Group. If the Group concludes that it is probable or certain that the taxation authority will accept the tax treatment, the risks are categorized either as possible or remote, and it determines the taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates consistently with the tax treatment used or planned to be used in its income tax filings. The risks considered as possible are not provisioned but disclosed as tax contingencies in the Group consolidated financial statements while remote risks are neither provisioned nor disclosed. If the Group concludes that it is probable that the taxation authority will not accept the Group’s interpretation of the uncertain tax treatment, the risks are categorized as probable, and are presented to reflect the effect of uncertainty in determining the related taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates by generally using the most likely amount method – the single most likely amount in a range of possible outcomes. If an uncertain tax treatment affects both deferred tax and current tax, the Group makes consistent estimates and judgments for both. For example, an uncertain tax treatment may affect both taxable profits used to determine the current tax and tax bases used to determine deferred tax. |

Disclosure of operating segments | B.3. Segmental information Management determines operating and reportable segments based on information used by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make strategic and operational decisions from both a business and geographic perspective. The Millicom Group’s risks and rates of return for its operations were predominantly affected by operating in different geographical regions. Until the divestiture of our Tanzania business, as discussed above, the Millicom Group had businesses in two main regions, Latin America and Africa, which constituted our two reportable segments. As a result of the sale of the Tanzania business and its classification as a discontinued operation, we no longer report an Africa segment in our financial statements and will no longer report it for future periods. The Group now only operates in a single region, Latin America. As a result, the Group now reports a single segment, called the "Group Segment," which includes the results of our Latin American operations, and regional and central corporate costs. Group Segment figures will continue to include our Honduras joint venture as if it was fully consolidated, as this reflects the way management reviews and uses internally reported information to make decisions about operating matters and to provide increased transparency to investors on those operations. Group Segment figures also include our operations in Guatemala as if they were fully consolidated for all comparative periods, for the same reasons. On November 12, 2021, we acquired the remaining 45% equity interest in our Guatemala joint venture business, and we now fully consolidate our operations in Guatemala. Prior to this date, we held a 55% stake in our operations in Guatemala and accounted for it using the equity method of accounting, along with our operations in Honduras. Revenue, operating profit (loss), EBITDA and other segment information for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, were as follows: Group Segment (viii) Honduras (vii) Eliminations and transfers Group (US$ millions) Year ended December 31, 2022 Mobile revenue 3,392 (436) 1 2,957 Cable and other fixed services revenue 2,247 (108) 7 2,145 Other revenue 73 (5) — 69 Service revenue (i) 5,712 (549) 8 5,171 Telephone and equipment revenue 491 (37) — 454 Revenue 6,203 (586) 8 5,624 Operating profit (loss) 1,004 (121) 32 915 Add back: Depreciation and amortization 1,454 (112) 1 1,344 Share of profit in joint ventures — — (32) (32) Other operating expenses (income), net (1) 3 (1) 2 EBITDA (ii) 2,457 (230) 1 2,228 EBITDA from discontinued operations 24 — — 24 EBITDA incl discontinued operations 2,482 (230) 1 2,252 Capital expenditure (iii) (1,042) 85 — (957) Spectrum paid (93) — — (93) Changes in working capital and others (iv) (95) (26) — (121) Taxes paid (365) 49 — (316) Operating free cash flow (v) 887 (122) 1 765 Total Assets (vi) 14,543 (1,004) 660 14,198 Total Liabilities 11,097 (603) 70 10,565 (i) Service revenue is revenue related to the provision of ongoing services such as monthly subscription fees for mobile and broadband, airtime and data usage fees, interconnection fees, roaming fees, mobile finance service commissions and fees from other telecommunications services such as data services, short message services, installation fees and other value-added services excluding telephone and equipment sales. (ii) EBITDA is operating profit excluding impairment losses, depreciation and amortization and gains/losses on the disposal of fixed assets. (iii) Excluding spectrum and licenses. (iv) ‘Changes in working capital and others’ include changes in working capital as stated in the cash flow statement as well as share based payments expense. (v) Operating Free Cash Flow is EBITDA less capex, less spectrum paid, less change in working capital, other non-cash items (share-based payment expense) and taxes paid. From 2022, the Group changed the definition of Operating Free Cash Flow to include spectrum paid in response to feedback from users of our financial statements who prefer a more comprehensive view of our cash flow generation. (vi) Segment assets include goodwill and other intangible assets. (vii) Including eliminations for Guatemala (prior to acquisition) and Honduras as reported in the Group Segment. (viii) As further explained above, Group Segment numbers include Guatemala (until acquisition in November 2021) and Honduras as if they were fully consolidated, and excludes Africa.

Disclosure of deferred taxes and deductible temporary differences | B.6.3. Deferred tax Deferred tax is calculated using the liability method on temporary differences at the statement of financial position date between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting, nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all temporary differences including unused tax credits and tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized, except where the deferred tax assets relate to deductible temporary differences from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination, and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting, nor taxable profit or loss. It is probable that taxable profit will be available when there are sufficient taxable temporary differences relating to the same tax authority and the same taxable entity which are expected to reverse in the same period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary difference. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to utilize them. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each statement of financial position date and are recognized to the extent it is probable that future taxable profit will enable the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate expected to apply in the year when the assets are realized or liabilities settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset where legally enforceable set off rights exist and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

Disclosure of other equity reserves | C.1. Share capital, share premium and reserves Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds. Where any Group company purchases the Company’s share capital, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs, is shown under Treasury shares and deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders until the shares are canceled, reissued or disposed of. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental costs and the related income tax effects is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Share capital, share premium 2022 (i) 2021 Authorized and registered share capital (number of shares) 200,000,000 133,333,200 Subscribed and fully paid up share capital (number of shares) 172,096,305 101,739,217 Par value per share 1.50 1.50 Share capital (US$ millions) 258 153 Share premium (US$ millions) 1,085 476 Total (US$ millions) 1,343 628 (i) On December 13, 2021, in the view of the upcoming right offering, Millicom's Board of Directors proposed to increase the authorized share capital of the Company to $300 million divided into 200 million shares with a par value of $1.50 each, through an extraordinary general meeting ("EGM"). The proposal has been ratified at the EGM which took place on February 28, 2022. On May 18, 2022, the Board of Directors of Millicom resolved on a rights offering (the "Rights Offering") granting preferential subscription rights to existing holders of shares and Swedish Depositary Receipts ("SDRs") to subscribe for up to 70,357,088 shares in aggregate. Those who were registered as holders of shares/SDR register on May 23, 2022, received one subscription right for each share ("Share Right") or SDR ("SDR right") held in Millicom. 10 share rights entitled a holder thereof to subscribe for 7 new shares in Millicom and 10 SDR Rights entitled a holder thereof to subscribe 7 new SDRs in Millicom. The subscription price was set at SEK 106 per new SDR and $10.61 per new share. The subscription price in SEK was determined based on the subscription price in U.S dollars as resolved by Millicom, $10.61 per new share, using the SEK-U.S dollar exchange rate published by the Swedish Central Bank on May 17, 2022. The record date for participation in the Rights Offering was May 23, 2022. The subscription period ran from May 27, 2022 up to June 13, 2022. The result of the Rights Offering showed that 68,822,675 shares, including those represented by SDRs, have been subscribed for by the exercise of basic subscription rights. The remaining 1,534,413 shares, including those represented by SDRs, were allotted to those investors who subscribed for them pursuant to over subscription privileges. The Rights Offering was thus fully subscribed, and Millicom received proceeds amounting to approximately $717 million after deducting underwriting commissions and other offering expenses of $28 million. The Rights Offering resulted in the issuance of 70,357,088 new shares, which increased the number of outstanding shares in Millicom from 101,739,217 to 172,096,305. As a result, the share capital increased by $106 million to $258 million from $153 million. The remaining $611 million have been allocated to the Group's share premium account.
