Millicom third-quarter revenues down 6.5% YoY, customer base up 2%
2020-10-30 11:59:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Millicom, owner of Tigo-branded operations across Latin America and Africa, reported a 6.5 percent year on year fall in revenues to USD 1.03 billion in the third quarter of 2020, impacted by the ongoing effects on its business of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, the company was keen to emphasise that the result was an improvement on the 8.0 percent decline posted in the previous quarters as lockdowns eased in most of its countries and the improved performance that began in June continued in the July to September period with robust customer growth. On a year-on-year basis, service revenue declined 3.1 percent organically, improving from a 6.8 percent fall in Q2, with EBITDA down 6.1 percent year on year to USD 581 million. Third-quarter net loss improved to USD 51 million from a negative USD 131 million a year earlier.

Millicom revenues up 5% YoY, sheds 400,000 mobile clients in Q1
2020-04-30 15:05:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Millicom reported revenues up 5.1 percent to USD 1.50 billion in the first quarter of 2020, aided by recent acquisitions in Panama (Cable Onda) and Nicaragua (Telefonica) but impacted by weaker foreign currency and the early effects of the coronavirus pandemic. The company said Covi-19 lockdowns adversely affected operational and financial performance in many of its markets beginning in mid-March, and early signs suggested service revenue could be down "between 6 percent and 7 percent organically" in April. As a result, it predicted that operating and financial performance in Q2 and for the full year 2020 would be "materially weaker" than previously expected.
