NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(US dollars in thousands unless otherwise noted)
(unaudited)

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Trilogy International Partners Inc. (“TIP Inc.” and together with its consolidated subsidiaries referred to as the “Company”). All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2022 is derived from the Company’s audited financial statements at that date, which should be read in conjunction with these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements has been condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the interim financial information includes all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. The interim results of operations and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of those results and cash flows expected for the full year. All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars (“USD”), unless otherwise stated.
 
The Company historically had two reportable segments, New Zealand and Bolivia. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company completed the sales of its operations in New Zealand and Bolivia, which represented substantially all of the operating activities of the Company’s business. The disposals and comparative historical periods are not presented as discontinued operations since the associated activities represented substantially all of the Company’s net productive assets, business activities and results of operations. Accordingly, they do not meet the definition of a component of an entity that would qualify for discontinued operations presentation because they are not clearly distinguishable from the rest of the entity. Since presentation of discontinued operations is not applicable, the presentation of segment information for New Zealand and Bolivia has been retained.
 
Unallocated corporate operating expenses, which pertained primarily to corporate administrative functions that supported the segments but were not specifically attributable to or managed by any segment, are presented as a reconciling item between total segment results and consolidated financial results. Additional information relating to our historical reportable segments is included in Note 12 – Segment Information.
 
See Note 2 – Sale of Operations for additional information regarding the sales of Two Degrees Mobile Limited (“2degrees”), in New Zealand, and Empresa de Telecomunicaciones NuevaTel (PCS de Bolivia), S.A. (“NuevaTel”), in Bolivia.

Certain amounts in the prior period Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation related to certain prepaid expenses.
 
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Use of Estimates:
The preparation of the unaudited interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenues and expenses reported for the periods presented. Certain estimates require difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions primarily in the United States of America, which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). Deposits in U.S. banks may exceed the FDIC insurance limit of up to $250,000.

Property and Equipment:
Depreciation expense was insignificant for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Depreciation expense was $15.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

License Costs and Other Intangible Assets:
There were no license costs and other intangible assets balances remaining as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022 due to the sale of operations in May 2022.

There was no amortization expense of license costs and other intangible assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and for the three months ended September 30, 2022.  Amortization expense of license costs and other intangible assets was $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Interest Cost Incurred:
There was no interest cost incurred or expensed for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Consolidated interest cost incurred and expensed, prior to capitalization of interest, was $23.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosure:
Prior to the sale of our operations in May 2022, the Company acquired property and equipment using current and long-term construction accounts payable. The net change in current and long-term construction accounts payable resulted in additions to Purchase of property and equipment in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
 
There was no interest paid, net of capitalized interest, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Interest paid, net of capitalized interest, was $22.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards:
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 related to the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments and has since modified the standard with several ASUs (collectively, the “credit loss standard”). The credit loss standard requires a financial asset (or a group of financial assets) measured at amortized cost basis to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The measurement of expected credit losses is based on relevant information about past events, including historical experience, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The credit loss standard took effect for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As amended in ASU 2019-10, for companies that file under private company guidelines or are eligible to report as a “smaller reporting company”, the credit loss standard took effect for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption was permitted for all entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company adopted the credit loss standard as it became applicable to the Company as a “smaller reporting company”. Adoption of this credit loss standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements as the Company did not have any receivables in its portfolio during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
 
NOTE 2 – SALE OF OPERATIONS
 
2degrees – New Zealand Segment
 
On December 31, 2021, the shareholders of 2degrees, including the Company, entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Voyage Digital (NZ) Limited (“Voyage Digital”) to sell all of their equity interests in 2degrees (the “2degrees Sale”). On a cash free debt free basis, the purchase price for 100% of the 2degrees shares (including employee options that converted into shares in connection with the sale) represented an equity value of $1.315 billion New Zealand dollars (“NZD”), subject to adjustments at closing for specific costs or payments by 2degrees between signing and closing. The Company’s ownership interest in 2degrees was 73.2%. On March 15, 2022, the Company determined that the 2degrees business met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Therefore, the Company ceased recording depreciation and amortization on the applicable and relevant 2degrees non-current tangible and intangible assets on such date, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360-10, Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“ASC 360-10”).
 
On May 19, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its 73.2% interest in 2degrees. For its ownership interest in 2degrees, the Company’s share of the total consideration was $930 million NZD (approximately $601 million), net of $33 million NZD ($21 million) of closing adjustments, including transaction advisory fees, along with payments to satisfy the outstanding 2degrees option pool. Upon closing of the 2degrees Sale, the Company recognized a net gain of $443.3 million, inclusive of changes in the NZD to USD foreign currency exchange rate between the funding and settlement of sale proceeds.

Approximately $22 million NZD of the consideration paid by Voyage Digital for the Company’s 2degrees shares was held in escrow as recourse for potential indemnification claims under the Purchase Agreement. In the second quarter of 2023, the Company received $22.3 million NZD ($13.7 million) from the escrowed proceeds, inclusive of $0.6 million NZD of interest accrued on the escrowed amount and changes in the NZD to USD foreign currency exchange rates between funding and settlement of the forward exchange contracts. See Note 6 – Derivative Financial Instruments for additional information regarding the forward exchange contracts. In the third quarter of 2023, the remaining escrowed proceeds of approximately $0.3 million NZD ($0.2 million) were released to the Company. The proceeds of the funds released from escrow to the Company are included in investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

NuevaTel – Bolivia Segment
 
On March 28, 2022, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with Balesia Technologies, Inc. to sell its 71.5% equity interest in NuevaTel (the “NuevaTel Transaction”). As of March 28, 2022, the Company also determined that the NuevaTel business met the criteria to be classified as held for sale. Therefore, the Company ceased recording depreciation and amortization on the applicable and relevant NuevaTel non-current tangible and intangible assets on such date, in accordance with ASC 360-10.
 
On May 14, 2022, the NuevaTel Transaction closed. Proceeds received related to the NuevaTel Transaction were of a nominal amount, and the Company recorded a net gain of $14.5 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Presentation of activities and acceleration of equity compensation vesting

In addition to transaction fees that reduced sale proceeds and were therefore reflected within the 2degrees Sale and NuevaTel Transaction net gain amounts, approximately $2 million of professional service fees were expensed as incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Transaction costs relating to the 2degrees Sale and NuevaTel Transaction incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were immaterial. These expenses are included in General and administrative expenses in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

In connection with the 2degrees Sale, the Company accelerated the vesting of all outstanding restricted share units (“RSUs”) issued to certain officers and employees under TIP Inc.’s restricted share unit plan and settled the deferred share units issued to directors of TIP Inc. under its deferred share unit plan. The RSUs vested immediately prior to the closing of the 2degrees Sale, on May 19, 2022. As a result of the change in vesting period, $3.0 million of unrecognized equity-based compensation expense was recognized in the second quarter of 2022. Additionally, in connection with the 2degrees Sale, 25.7 million of vested 2degrees service-based share options which were outstanding prior to the 2degrees Sale were deemed exercised and the shares of 2degrees issued in connection therewith were acquired by Voyage Digital as part of the purchase of all outstanding equity of 2degrees. The conversion of options and acquisition of resulting shares were executed in accordance with the existing terms of the 2degrees option plan. The Company also recorded $5.9 million in severance benefits in the second quarter of 2022 within General and administrative expenses, and the majority of such amount was paid in the second quarter of 2023.

NOTE 3 – EIP RECEIVABLES
 
Prior to the sale of our operations in the second quarter of 2022, 2degrees and NuevaTel offered certain wireless subscribers the option to pay for their handsets in installments over a period of up to 36 months using an EIP. As a result of the sale of our operations in the second quarter of 2022, the Company had no unbilled EIP receivables as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022.
 
Sales of EIP Receivables: 
2degrees was party to a mobile handset receivables sales agreement with a third party New Zealand financial institution.
 
As a result of the sale of our operations in the second quarter of 2022, the Company had no sales of the EIP receivables during the three months ended September 30, 2022. The following table summarizes the impact of the sales of the EIP receivables in the nine months ended September 30, 2022:

NOTE 5 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The accounting guidance for fair value establishes a framework for measuring fair value that uses a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability at the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable;

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use to value the asset or liability.

There were no assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. There were no liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2023. The following table presents liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022:

The fair value of forward exchange contracts was based on the differential between the contract price and the foreign currency exchange rate as of the balance sheet date.
 
There were no transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 or 2022.
 
Cash and cash equivalents, deposits, accounts payable and accrued expenses were carried at cost, which approximates fair value given their short-term nature.
 
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we did not record any material other-than-temporary impairments on financial assets required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

NOTE 6 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Interest Rate Swaps:
Prior to the 2degrees Sale, 2degrees entered into various interest rate swap agreements to fix its future interest payments under its then outstanding bank loan syndication and the New Zealand EIP receivables secured borrowing arrangement. Under these agreements, 2degrees principally received a variable amount based on the New Zealand Bank Bill Reference Rate and paid a fixed amount based on fixed rates. Settlement in cash occurred quarterly until termination and the variable interest rate was reset on the first day of each calendar quarter. These derivative instruments were not designated for hedge accounting; thus, changes in the fair value were recognized in earnings in the period incurred. There were no interest rate swap balances remaining as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As a result, there was no financial activity related to these derivative financial instruments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. There was no financial activity related to these derivative financial instruments during the three months ended September 30, 2022. Summarized financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is shown below:

Forward Exchange Contracts:
In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company entered into forward exchange contracts to sell an aggregate of $20 million NZD and buy an aggregate of $12.3 million USD on June 30, 2023. These contracts were entered into in order to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in the NZD to USD exchange rate for substantially all of the proceeds from the 2degrees Sale held in escrow. These derivative instruments were not designated for hedge accounting, thus changes in the fair value are recognized in earnings in the period incurred. No gain or loss was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The foreign exchange gains or losses relating to these forward exchange contracts were recognized in Other, net and were not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. These forward exchange contracts were settled in June 2023 in connection with the receipt of the escrowed proceeds from the 2degrees Sale and the related cash proceeds are included in investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

In March 2022, the Company entered into a forward exchange contract to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in the NZD to USD exchange rate for a portion of the proceeds we received from the 2degrees Sale. The foreign exchange contract secured an NZD foreign exchange rate based on a sliding scale which included rates of 0.6688 at May 31, 2022 and 0.6677 at the June 30, 2022 long-stop date for $450 million USD ($674 million NZD), which approximated the amount of the USD denominated debt that was paid upon the closing of the 2degrees Sale. No gain or loss was recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022. A gain of $16.6 million was recognized in Other, net during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which reflected the differential between the contract price and the foreign exchange rate as of the settlement date under this forward exchange contract. The forward exchange contract was settled in May 2022 in connection with the 2degrees Sale and the related cash proceeds are included in investing activities in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

Prior to the 2degrees Sale, 2degrees had short-term forward exchange contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. There were no forward exchange contract balances remaining as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. These derivative instruments were not designated for hedge accounting, thus changes in the fair value were recognized in earnings in the period incurred. No foreign exchange gains or losses were recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022 relating to the 2degrees forward exchange contracts. Gains or losses resulting from these contracts were immaterial for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

NOTE 7 – EQUITY
 
TIP Inc. Capital Structure
TIP Inc.’s authorized share structure initially consisted of two classes of shares, common shares, no par value (the “Common Shares”), and a special voting share (the “Special Voting Share”). The Special Voting Share was surrendered in October 2021. Consequently, as of September 30, 2023, there were no Special Voting Shares outstanding.
 
TIP Inc. Common Shares:
TIP Inc. is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares. As of September 30, 2023, TIP Inc. had 88,627,593 Common Shares outstanding. Holders of Common Shares are entitled to one vote for each share held on matters submitted to a vote of shareholders.
 
Holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive dividends as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”). In 2021, the Board determined that it was in the best interests of TIP Inc. not to pay an annual dividend. In the event of the dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of TIP Inc., whether voluntary or involuntary, or any other distribution of assets of TIP Inc. among its shareholders for the purpose of winding up its affairs, the holders of Common Shares are entitled to receive the remaining property and assets of TIP Inc. after satisfaction of all liabilities and obligations to creditors of TIP Inc.
 
Cash Distributions:
In the second quarter of 2022, the Board declared a distribution to shareholders of approximately $115.8 million, or approximately $1.31 per share (declared as a $150 million Canadian dollars (“C$”) distribution), representing a return of capital distribution pursuant to the plan of liquidation adopted by the Board on June 10, 2022. This distribution was paid in the second quarter of 2022 following the closing of the 2degrees Sale on May 19, 2022 and represented the initial and primary distribution of the net cash proceeds of the sale. The distribution was inclusive of the $2.8 million paid to New Island (defined below), as discussed below, which was contributed back to TIP Inc. in the second quarter of 2022.

F-11

TRILOGY INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS INC.
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(US dollars in thousands unless otherwise noted)
(unaudited)

In July 2023, the Board declared a second distribution to shareholders of approximately $20.8 million, or approximately $0.23 per share (declared as a C$27.5 million distribution). This distribution was paid in the third quarter of 2023 following the release of the proceeds held in escrow from the 2degrees Sale in June 2023. See Note 2 – Sale of Operations. Consistent with the prior distribution, this second distribution was inclusive of the $0.5 million paid to New Island, which was contributed back to TIP Inc. in the third quarter of 2023.

Any future additional return of capital distributions will depend on the Company’s corporate expenses, financial condition and other factors as determined by the Board.


New Island Cellular Common Shares:

Trilogy LLC (as defined below) had a non-interest bearing loan outstanding to New Island Cellular, LLC (“New Island”), an entity with which a former member and manager of Trilogy LLC is affiliated, in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.2 million (the “New Island Loan”), the proceeds of which were used to cover additional taxes owed by New Island as a result of Trilogy LLC’s election in 2006 to treat its former subsidiary, ComCEL, as a U.S. partnership for tax purposes. In connection with New Island’s redemption of Trilogy LLC units for Common Shares in 2021, the New Island Loan was forgiven in consideration of New Island’s assignment to Trilogy LLC of all distributions and dividends payable to New Island with respect to its TIP Inc. shares. This arrangement was treated as an equity transaction with no impact on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. New Island received 2,129,623 Common Shares in connection with the redemption. In 2022 and 2023, the Company declared and paid cash distributions to shareholders, as discussed above, inclusive of approximately $2.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, distributed to New Island Cellular. The full amounts of the distributions to New Island were subsequently repaid to Trilogy LLC and are reflected within Return of capital, net of distribution repaid in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Shareholders’ Equity (Deficit).
Trilogy LLC Capital Structure
On February 7, 2017, Trilogy International Partners LLC (“Trilogy LLC”), a Washington limited liability company, and Alignvest Acquisition Corporation completed a court approved plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) pursuant to an arrangement agreement dated November 1, 2016 (as amended December 20, 2016). As a result of the Arrangement, TIP Inc. obtained a controlling interest in and began consolidating Trilogy LLC. As of September 30, 2023, TIP Inc. held a 100% economic ownership interest in Trilogy LLC through its wholly owned subsidiary, Trilogy International Partners Intermediate Holdings Inc. (“Trilogy Intermediate Holdings”).
 
The equity interests in Trilogy LLC historically consisted of three classes of units; however, as of September 30, 2023, only Class B Units (as defined below) were outstanding.
 
Class B Units:
TIP Inc. indirectly holds the Class B Units of Trilogy LLC (the “Class B Units”) through Trilogy Intermediate Holdings. The Class B Units represented TIP Inc.’s indirect economic interest in Trilogy LLC under the Trilogy LLC amended and restated Limited Liability Company Agreement. As of September 30, 2023, there were 88,627,593 Class B Units outstanding.

NOTE 8 – REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
 
Disaggregation of Revenue:
Prior to the sale of our operations in the second quarter of 2022, we operated and managed our business in two reportable segments based on geographic region: New Zealand and Bolivia. We disaggregated revenue into categories to depict how the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows were affected by economic factors, including the type of product offering provided, the type of customer and the expected timing of payment for goods and services.

Contract Balances:
The timing of revenue recognition may have differed from the time of billing to our customers. Receivables represented an unconditional right to consideration. Contract balances represented amounts from an arrangement when either the Company had performed, by providing goods or services to the customer in advance of receiving all or partial consideration for such goods and services from the customer, or the customer had made payment to us in advance of obtaining control of the goods and/or services promised to the customer in the contract.
 
Contract assets were primarily related to our rights to consideration for goods or services provided to the customers but for which we did not have an unconditional right at the reporting date. Under a fixed-term plan, the total contract revenue was allocated between wireless services and equipment revenues. In conjunction with these arrangements, a contract asset may have been created, which represented the difference between the amount of equipment revenue recognized upon sale and the amount of consideration received from the customer. The contract asset was reclassified as an account receivable as wireless services were provided and amounts were billed to the customer. We had the right to bill the customer as service was provided over time, which resulted in our right to the payment being unconditional. We assessed our contract assets for impairment on a quarterly basis and recognized an impairment charge to the extent their carrying amount was not recoverable.
 
There were no contract assets following the sale of our operations in the second quarter of 2022. The following table represents changes in the contract assets balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2022:

Deferred revenue arose when we billed our customers and received consideration in advance of providing the goods or services promised in the contract. For prepaid wireless services and fixed broadband services, we typically received consideration in advance of providing the services, which was the most significant component of the contract liability deferred revenue balance. Deferred revenue was recognized as revenue when services were provided to the customer.

(1) There was no revenue recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Contract Costs:
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“Topic 606”) requires the recognition of an asset for incremental costs to obtain a customer contract. These costs are then amortized to expense over the respective periods of expected benefit. We recognized an asset for direct and incremental commission expenses paid to external and certain internal sales personnel and agents in conjunction with obtaining customer contracts. These costs were amortized and recorded ratably as commission expense over the expected period of benefit, which typically ranged from 1 to 3 years. Further, we elected to apply the practical expedient available under Topic 606 that permitted us to expense incremental costs immediately for costs with an estimated amortization period of less than one year.
 
Following the sale of operations in the second quarter of 2022, there were no contract costs balances. The following table represents changes in the contract costs balance for the nine months ended September 30, 2022:

NOTE 9 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
 
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the basic weighted average Common Shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of Common Shares plus the effect of potential dilutive Common Shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method.
 
In calculating diluted net (loss) income per share, if the change in fair value of any warrant liability was dilutive, the numerator and denominator were adjusted for such change and the number of potentially dilutive Common Shares assumed to be outstanding during the period was calculated using the treasury stock method. No adjustments were made when warrants were out of the money. The Company’s warrants expired on February 7, 2022.There were no warrants outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and for the three months ended September 30, 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s warrants were out of the money and no adjustment was made to exclude the gain recognized by TIP Inc. for the change in fair value of the warrant liability.

NOTE 10 – LEASES

Prior to the sale of our operations in the second quarter of 2022, we leased cell sites, retail stores, offices, vehicles, equipment and other assets from third parties under operating and finance leases. Our typical lease arrangement included a non-cancellable term with renewal options for varying terms depending on the nature of the lease. We included the renewal options that were reasonably certain to be exercised as part of the lease term, and this assessment was an area of judgment. For cell site locations, optional renewals were included in the lease term based on the date the sites were placed in service and to the extent that renewals were reasonably certain based on the age and duration of the sites. For other leases, renewal options were typically not considered to be reasonably certain to be exercised.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Commitments:
Following the sales of operations during the second quarter of 2022, there were no remaining outstanding commitments as of September 30, 2023.
 
Contingencies:
The financial statements reflect certain assumptions based on telecommunications laws, regulations and customary practices currently in effect in the countries in which the Company’s subsidiaries operated prior to disposal. As a result of the sales of operations in the second quarter of 2022, the Company is no longer subject to the potential outcome of contingencies previously reported for the historical New Zealand and Bolivia segments which were subject to the telecommunications laws and regulations of these locations.

The Company’s former subsidiaries are party to various lawsuits, regulatory proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the Company no longer owns an interest in these subsidiaries, it may have liability with respect to the outcomes of certain lawsuits, regulatory proceedings or claims against the former subsidiaries to the extent specified in indemnification provisions of the share sale agreements to which the Company is a party, including the six year indemnification period following the closing of the 2degrees Sale. Management believes that although the outcomes of these proceedings are uncertain, any liability ultimately arising from these actions should not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company has previously accrued for any material contingencies where the Company’s management believed the loss was probable and estimable. Following the sales of operations during the second quarter of 2022, there are no contingencies accrued as of September 30, 2023.
 
NOTE 12 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
We determined our reportable segments based on the manner in which our Chief Executive Officer, considered to be the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), would regularly review our operations and performance. Segment information was prepared on the same basis that our CODM managed the segments, evaluated financial results, allocated resources, and made key operating decisions.
 
The Company historically had two reportable segments, New Zealand and Bolivia. However, as a result of the closing of the 2degrees Sale and NuevaTel Transaction in the second quarter of 2022, the Company no longer holds ownership interests in the business that historically comprised the New Zealand and Bolivia segments. See Note 2 – Sale of Operations for additional information regarding the 2degrees Sale and the NuevaTel Transaction. Since presentation of discontinued operations is not applicable, as discussed therein, the presentation of segment information for New Zealand and Bolivia has been retained.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) contains important information about the business of Trilogy International Partners Inc. (“TIP Inc.”, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”) and its performance for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with TIP Inc.’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and notes thereto (the “Consolidated Annual Financial Statements”), prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) as issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, TIP Inc.’s MD&A for the year ended December 31, 2022 and TIP Inc.’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and notes thereto (the “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”), prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
 
Additional information relating to the Company, including TIP Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 Annual Report”) is available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and on EDGAR (www.sec.gov).
 
As described below (see “About the Company”) and as further discussed in Note 2 – Sale of Operations to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, on December 31, 2021, Trilogy International New Zealand LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to sell the Company’s 73.2% indirect equity interest in Two Degrees Mobile Limited (“2degrees”) to Voyage Digital (NZ) Limited (“Voyage Digital”), a joint venture between Macquarie Asset Management and Aware Super as owners of Vocus Group Limited (the “2degrees Sale”). On May 19, 2022, the 2degrees Sale closed.
 
Additionally, on March 28, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement (the “NuevaTel Agreement”) to transfer its 71.5% indirect equity interest in its Bolivian subsidiary, Empresa de Telecomunicaciones NuevaTel (PCS de Bolivia), S.A. (“NuevaTel”), to Balesia Technologies, Inc. (“Balesia”) for a nominal purchase price (the “NuevaTel Transaction”). On May 14, 2022, the NuevaTel Transaction closed.
 
The Company historically had two reportable segments, New Zealand and Bolivia. As noted above, during the second quarter of 2022, the Company completed the sales of its operations in New Zealand and Bolivia which represented substantially all of the operating activities of the Company’s business. The disposals and comparative historical periods are not presented as discontinued operations since the associated activities represented substantially all of the Company’s net productive assets, business activities and results of operations. Accordingly, they do not meet the definition of a component of an entity that would qualify for discontinued operations presentation because they are not clearly distinguishable from the rest of the entity.  Since presentation of discontinued operations is not applicable, the presentation of segment information for New Zealand and Bolivia has been retained.
 
All financial results and metrics for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 included in this MD&A reflect the results of the New Zealand segment through May 19, 2022 and of the Bolivia segment through May 14, 2022.
 
All dollar amounts are in U.S. dollars (“USD”), unless otherwise stated. Amounts for subtotals, totals and percentage variances included in tables in this MD&A may not sum or calculate using the numbers as they appear in the tables due to rounding. This MD&A is current as of November 13, 2023 and was approved by TIP Inc.’s board of directors (the “Board”).
 
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain statements and information in this MD&A are not based on historical facts and constitute forward-looking statements or forward-looking information within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Canadian securities laws (“forward-looking statements”). Forward-looking statements are provided to help you understand the Company’s views of its short and longer term plans, expectations and prospects. The Company cautions you that forward-looking statements may not be appropriate for other purposes.
 
Forward-looking statements include statements about the Company’s business outlook for the short and longer term and statements regarding the Company’s strategy and plans. Furthermore, any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance are not statements of historical fact and may be forward-looking statements. Such statements are identified often, but not always, by words or phrases such as “expects”, “is expected”, “anticipates”, “believes”, “plans”, “projects”, “estimates”, “assumes”, “intends”, “strategy”, “goals”, “objectives”, “potential”, “possible” or variations thereof or stating that certain actions, events, conditions or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “should”, “might” or “will” occur, be taken, or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and similar expressions including, but not limited to:
 

the timing of the liquidation and dissolution of the Company pursuant to its plan of liquidation adopted on June 10, 2022;

the expenses associated with the Company losing its foreign private issuer status under U.S. federal securities laws;

the ability of U.S. persons to sell their common shares of TIP Inc. (the "Common Shares");

the Board's expectation that the financial resources available to the Company following the cash distributions to shareholders will be adequate to fund the Company's outstanding indemnification obligations, if any, and ongoing costs of operating the Company prior to its liquidation and dissolution; and

the possibility of changes in the securities regulations of Canada and the United States that could affect the ability of investors to trade their Common Shares.

Forward-looking statements are not promises or guarantees of future performance. Such statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and may change significantly. Forward-looking statements are subject to, and are necessarily based upon, a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by the Company, are inherently subject to significant economic uncertainties and contingencies, many of which, with respect to future events, are subject to change. The material assumptions used by the Company to develop such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
 

the expenses associated with the Company’s continued financial reporting and other compliance obligations through May 2028, when its remaining indemnification obligations related to the 2degrees Sale are scheduled to expire; and

taxes payable by the Company.

Many factors could cause the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements due to a variety of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, without limitation, those described under the heading “Risk Factors” included in the 2022 Annual Report and those referred to in the Company’s other regulatory filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the United States and the provincial securities commissions in Canada. Such risks, as well as uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ significantly from those expressed or implied in the Company’s forward-looking statements, include, without limitation:
 

risks related to anti-corruption compliance;

reliance on limited management resources;

tax related risks;

risks related to being a publicly traded company, including, but not limited to, compliance and costs associated with the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (to the extent applicable);

an increase in costs and demands on management resources as a result of the Company ceasing to qualify as an "emerging growth company" on December 31, 2022 under the U.S. Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012;

additional expenses in connection with the Company losing its foreign private issuer status under U.S. federal securities laws;

the determination to not pay dividends;

risks related to the liquidity of the market for the Common Shares;

risks related to litigation, including class actions and regulatory matters;

risks that indemnification obligations may be payable under the terms of the 2degrees Sale;

risks that the market price and trading volume of the Common Shares may materially decrease or experience increased fluctuation;

foreign exchange rate and associated risks;

risks related to withholding taxes;

risks related to the impact of new laws and regulations;

risks associated with the Company's internal controls over financial reporting; and

the costs associated with the dissolution of the Company.

This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect any of the Company’s forward-looking statements.
 
All forward-looking statements included herein are based on the beliefs, expectations and opinions of management on the date the statements are made. Except as required by applicable law, the Company does not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements should circumstances or management’s beliefs, expectations or opinions change. For the reasons set forth above, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
 
Trademarks and Other Intellectual Property Rights
 
Prior to the sale of its operations, the Company had proprietary rights to trademarks used in this MD&A, including, without limitation, “2degrees”, “NuevaTel” and “Viva”. Following the 2degrees Sale and NuevaTel Transaction, the Company no longer has proprietary rights to these trademarks and uses the terms herein solely to refer to its former subsidiaries and to describe their business operations.
 
About the Company
 
TIP Inc., together with its previously consolidated subsidiaries in New Zealand and Bolivia, was a provider of wireless voice and data communications including local, international long distance and roaming services. The Company also provided fixed broadband communications in New Zealand and Bolivia. The Company’s founding executives launched operations of the Company’s Bolivian subsidiary, NuevaTel, in 2000 when it was owned by Western Wireless Corporation (“Western Wireless”). Trilogy International Partners LLC, a Washington limited liability company and a subsidiary of TIP Inc. (“Trilogy LLC”), acquired control of NuevaTel from Western Wireless in 2006, shortly after Trilogy LLC was founded. In 2009, Trilogy LLC launched 2degrees as a greenfield wireless communications operator in New Zealand.
 
In December 2021, the Company entered into the Purchase Agreement to sell its 73.2% indirect equity interest in 2degrees to Voyage Digital, and in March 2022, entered into the NuevaTel Agreement to transfer its 71.5% indirect equity interest in NuevaTel to Balesia.
 
On May 14, 2022, the NuevaTel Transaction was completed for a nominal purchase price.
 
On May 19, 2022, the 2degrees Sale closed whereby Voyage Digital acquired 100% of the equity interest in 2degrees for an aggregate purchase price of $1.315 billion New Zealand dollars (“NZD”).
 
Historically, the operations in New Zealand and Bolivia represented the Company’s two reportable segments. Our chief operating decision maker, TIP Inc.’s Chief Executive Officer, assessed performance of the segments and allocated resources primarily based on the financial measures of revenues and Segment Adjusted EBITDA. See Note 12 – Segment Information to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
 
The 2degrees Sale and the NuevaTel Transaction were not presented as discontinued operations in this MD&A since the associated activities represented substantially all of the Company’s net productive assets, business activities and results of operations. Accordingly, they do not meet the definition of a component of an entity that would qualify for discontinued operations presentation because they are not clearly distinguishable from the rest of the entity. Since presentation of discontinued operations is not applicable, the presentation of segment information for New Zealand and Bolivia has been retained.
 
See Note 2 – Sale of Operations to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the 2degrees Sale and the NuevaTel Transaction.
 
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had 5 employees.
 
Foreign Currency
 
In New Zealand, the Company generated revenue and incurred costs in NZD in 2022. Fluctuations in the value of the NZD relative to the USD increased or decreased the Company’s overall revenue and profitability as stated in USD, which is the Company’s reporting currency. The average exchange rate for the period from January 1, 2022 through May 19, 2022 was 0.67, for the NZD, expressed in USD.

Consolidated Interest Expense
 
The Company repaid all of its outstanding indebtedness in May 2022; accordingly no interest expense was incurred after such repayment. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was primarily related to the senior secured notes issued by Trilogy International South Pacific LLC (“TISP”).
 
Consolidated Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability
 
The change in fair value of the warrant liability resulted in income of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to the warrants expiring on February 7, 2022.
 
Consolidated Debt Extinguishment Costs
 
Debt extinguishment cost for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 was due to an $8.5 million write-off of deferred finance cost and discounts with respect to the senior secured notes issued by TISP as a result of the prepayment of such notes in May 2022.
 
Consolidated Other, Net
 
Other, net income increased $2.1 million and declined $13.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase for the three months period was primarily due to unrealized foreign exchange losses in 2022 on the balance of the 2degrees Sale proceeds held in escrow which was denominated in NZD. The decline for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily due to a gain of $16.6 million recognized in 2022 in connection with the change in value of the forward exchange contract that the Company entered into in March 2022 to mitigate exposure to fluctuations in the NZD to USD exchange rate for a portion of the proceeds the Company received from the 2degrees Sale. See Note 6 – Derivative Financial Instruments to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Income Tax Expense
 
Income tax expense declined for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the same period in 2022 due to the closing of the 2degrees Sale and the NuevaTel Transaction in May 2022.
 
Business Segment Analysis
 
The Company historically had two reporting segments (New Zealand (2degrees) and Bolivia (NuevaTel)) that provided a variety of wireless voice and data communications services and fixed broadband communications services.
 
During the second quarter of 2022, the Company completed the sale of its operations in New Zealand and Bolivia, which represented substantially all of the operating activities of the business. The disposals and comparative historical periods are not presented as discontinued operations since the associated activities represented substantially all of the Company’s net productive assets, business activities and results of operations. Accordingly, they do not meet the definition of a component of an entity that would qualify for discontinued operations presentation because they are not clearly distinguishable from the rest of the entity. Since presentation of discontinued operations is not applicable, the presentation of segment information for New Zealand and Bolivia has been retained.
 
New Zealand (2degrees)
 
2degrees launched commercial service in 2009. As described above and as further discussed in Note 2 – Sale of Operations to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, in December 2021, the Company entered into the 2degrees Sale to sell its 73.2% indirect equity interest in 2degrees to Voyage Digital. On May 19, 2022, the 2degrees Sale closed.

Quarterly Trends and Seasonality
 
The Company’s operating results varied from quarter to quarter because of changes in general economic conditions and seasonal fluctuations, among other things, in each of the Company’s operations and business segments. Different products and subscribers had unique seasonal and behavioral features. Accordingly, one quarter’s results were not predictive of future performance.
 
Fluctuations in net income from quarter to quarter resulted from events that were unique or that occurred irregularly, such as losses on the refinance of debt, foreign exchange gains or losses, changes in the fair value of warrant liability and derivative instruments, impairment or sale of assets and operations, changes in income taxes and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
New Zealand and Bolivia
 
Prior to the closing of the 2degrees Sale and the NuevaTel Transaction, trends in New Zealand’s and Bolivia’s service revenues and overall operating performance were affected by:
 

Lower prepaid subscribers due to a shift in focus to postpaid sales;

Higher usage of wireless data due to the migration from 3G to 4G Long Term Evolution in Bolivia;

Increased competition and changes in the market leading to larger data bundles offered for prices which impacted data ARPU;

Stable postpaid churn in New Zealand, which the Company believes was a reflection of the Company’s heightened focus on high-value subscribers, bundled service offerings, and the Company’s enhanced subscriber service efforts;

Decreasing voice revenue as rate plans increasingly incorporated more monthly minutes and calling features, such as long distance;

Lower roaming revenue due to mobility restrictions associated with the COVID-19 pandemic;

Varying handset subsidies as more consumers shifted toward smartphones with the latest technologies;

Varying handset costs related to advancement of technologies and reduced supplier rebates or discounts on highly-sought devices;

Seasonal promotions which were typically more significant in periods closer to year-end;

Subscribers activating and suspending service to take advantage of promotions by the Company or its competitors;


Higher voice and data costs related to the increasing number of subscribers, or, alternatively, a decline in costs associated with a decline in voice usage;

Higher costs associated with the retention of high-value subscribers; and

Decline in gross subscriber additions due to decreased commercial activity resulting from COVID-related societal restrictions and economic contraction.

Trends in New Zealand’s service revenues and operating performance that were unique to its fixed broadband business included:
 

Higher internet subscription fees as subscribers increasingly upgraded to higher-tier speed plans, including those with unlimited usage;

Subscribers bundling their service plans at a discount;

Fluctuations in retail broadband pricing and operating costs influenced by government-regulated copper wire services pricing and changing consumer and competitive demands;

Availability of fiber services in a particular area or general network coverage; and

Individuals swapping technologies as fiber became available in their connection area.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Measures
 
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $9.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, including approximately C$0.2 million for ongoing costs denominated in that currency. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $25.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. The decline in the cash balance from December 31, 2022 to September 30, 2023 was primarily due to the return of capital distribution in July 2023 and cash used in operating activities partially offset by the proceeds of the 2degrees Sale received in the second quarter of 2023.
 
In July 2023, the Company completed a return of capital distribution to shareholders pursuant to the plan of liquidation that was adopted by the Board on June 10, 2022. The return of capital distribution was C$0.31 per Common Share, representing an aggregate amount of approximately C$27.5 million (approximately $20.8 million). The ultimate liquidation of the Company will be subject to a shareholder vote and the satisfaction of certain other legal requirements.
 
Following this distribution, the Company had $9.3 million of cash at September 30, 2023 as a reserve for the payment of expenses for continued financial reporting and other compliance obligations through May 2028, when its remaining indemnification obligations related to the 2degrees Sale are scheduled to expire. The cash reserve will also be utilized for the payment of indemnification claims, if any, that may arise from the transaction but are not funded by the warranty insurance policy purchased in connection with the 2degrees Sale. The Company expects that any cash reserve remaining after the expiration of the indemnification claim period (and the payment of any claims) will be distributed to shareholders and that the Company will thereafter dissolve.
 
The Company expects that it will be required to comply with Canadian and U.S. public company reporting obligations through the six-year indemnification period following the closing of the 2degrees Sale. During the period in which the Company continues to report publicly, we will be responsible for maintaining appropriate processes and controls around financial reporting. However, given the significantly reduced risk profile of the Company following the 2degrees Sale and the NuevaTel Transaction, we have reduced our cost structure, with a significant portion of the workforce having ceased employment with the Company in September 2022, and we have retained only a limited number of resources to ensure compliance with ongoing regulatory and audit requirements. The Company has also negotiated with service providers to ensure a significant reduction in costs going forward.
 
Accordingly, management believes that our working capital will be adequate to meet the Company’s requirements for the next twelve months following the date of this MD&A. With the sale of our operations, the Company no longer has material cash requirements to fund capital expenditures or significant contractual obligations.

Cash flow used in operating activities
 
Cash flow used in operating activities increased by $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the sales of our operations in the second quarter of 2022. Cash flow used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was primarily related to the activities at headquarters, including severance payments to executives and former employees.
 
Cash flow provided by investing activities
 
Cash flow provided by investing activities decreased by $491.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily due to the $552.2 million proceeds received in 2022 from the sales of our operations, inclusive of proceeds from a forward exchange contract of $16.6 million, net of cash sold of $51.1 million.
 
Cash flow used in financing activities
 
Cash flow used in financing activities declined by $516.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the same period in 2022, primarily driven by $421.5 million payments of debt and financing obligations, net of proceeds in 2022 with no such payments in 2023. Cash flow used in financing activities was also affected by a return of capital distribution to shareholders, net of distribution repaid, in the amount of $113.0 million in 2022 as compared to $20.3 million in 2023. See Note 7 – Equity to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the return of capital distributions.
 
Contractual obligations
 
As a result of the sales of its operations in the second quarter of 2022, the Company no longer has any significant contractual obligations as of September 30, 2023.
 
Effect of inflation
 
The Company’s management believes inflation has not had a material effect on its financial condition or results of operations in recent years.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that would have a material effect on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2023.
 
Transactions with Related Parties
 
The Company has not engaged in any related party transactions or arrangements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. For additional information on related party transactions, see Note 20 – Related Party Transactions to our Consolidated Annual Financial Statements.
 
Critical Accounting Estimates
 
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in the MD&A section in our 2022 Annual Report.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
The effects of recently issued accounting standards are discussed in Note 1 Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Changes in Accounting Policies Including Initial Adoption
 
Other than the adoption of new accounting standards, as discussed in Note 1 – Description of Business Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, there have been no other changes in the Company’s accounting policies.
 
Financial Instruments and Other Instruments
 
The Company considers the management of financial risks to be an important part of its overall corporate risk management policy. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to manage existing exposures, irrespective of whether such relationships were formally documented as hedges in accordance with hedge accounting requirements. This is further described in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (see Note 6 – Derivative Financial Instruments to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements).
 
Definitions and Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Measures
 
The Company reports certain non-U.S. GAAP measures that are used to evaluate the performance of the Company and to manage its capital structure. Non-U.S. GAAP measures do not have any standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Securities regulations require such measures to be clearly defined and reconciled with their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure.
 
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
 
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (“Adjusted EBITDA”) represents Net (loss) income (the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure) excluding amounts for: income tax expense; interest expense; depreciation, amortization and accretion; equity-based compensation (recorded as a component of General and administrative expense); loss (gain) on sale of operations and disposal of assets; and all other non-operating income and expenses. Net (loss) income margin is calculated as Net (loss) income divided by service revenues. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by service revenues. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are common measures of operating performance in the telecommunications industry. The Company’s management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are helpful measures because they allow management to evaluate the Company’s performance by removing from its operating results items that do not relate to core operating performance. The Company’s management believes that certain investors and analysts use Adjusted EBITDA to value companies in the telecommunications industry. The Company’s management believes that certain investors and analysts also use Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin to evaluate the performance of the Company’s business. Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin have no directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure. The following table provides a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most comparable financial measure reported under U.S. GAAP, Net (loss) income.

Key Industry Performance Measures – Definitions
 
The following measures are industry metrics that management historically found useful in assessing the operating performance of the Company, and are often used in the wireless telecommunications industry, but do not have a standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP:
 

Wireless data revenues (data revenues) is a component of wireless service revenues that includes the use of web navigation, multimedia messaging service and value-added services by subscribers over the wireless network through their devices.
 

Wireless service revenues (“wireless service revenues”) is a component of total revenues that excludes fixed broadband revenues, equipment sales and non-subscriber international long distance revenues; it captures wireless performance and is the basis for the blended wireless ARPU calculations.
 

Wireless data average revenue per wireless user (“data ARPU”) is calculated by dividing monthly data revenues during the relevant period by the average number of wireless subscribers during the period.
 

Service revenues (“service revenues”) is a component of total revenues that excludes equipment sales.
 

Churn (“churn”) is the rate at which existing subscribers cancel their services, or are suspended from accessing the network, or have no revenue generating event within the most recent 90 days, expressed as a percentage. Subscribers that subsequently have their service restored within a certain period of time are presented net of disconnections which may result in a negative churn percentage in certain periods. Churn is calculated by dividing the number of subscribers disconnected by the average subscriber base.  It is a measure of monthly subscriber turnover.
 

Capital intensity (“capital intensity”) represents purchases of property and equipment divided by total service revenues. The Company’s capital expenditures do not include expenditures on spectrum licenses. Capital intensity allows the Company to compare the level of the Company’s additions to property and equipment to those of other companies within the same industry.

Not applicable.
 
Item 4.
Controls and Procedures.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
Disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that all material information relating to the Company is identified and communicated to management on a timely basis. Management of the Company, under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), is responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 52-109 of the Canadian Securities Administrators and as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, to provide reasonable assurance that all material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is (a) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the applicable securities legislation, and (b) accumulated and communicated to management, including the CEO and CFO, to ensure appropriate and timely decisions are made regarding public disclosure.
 
Based on management’s evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that, as of September 30, 2023, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Management of the Company, under the supervision of the CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing adequate internal controls over financial reporting which are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, due to their inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements and fraud.  Management has used the Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission to establish and maintain adequate design of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no changes made to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
Limitations of Controls and Procedures
 
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. However, a control system, no matter how well conceived or operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a control system are met.
 
Due to their inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements and fraud. The Company will continue to periodically review its disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting and may make such modifications from time to time as it considers necessary.
 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1.
Legal Proceedings.
 
The Company is not aware of any existing or contemplated legal proceedings to which it or any of its current subsidiaries is a party, or to which any of their property is subject, that would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
As a result of the sales of operations in the second quarter of 2022, the Company is no longer subject to the potential outcome of contingencies previously reported for the historical New Zealand and Bolivia segments which were subject to the telecommunications laws and regulations of these locations.
 
The Company’s former subsidiaries in New Zealand and Bolivia are party to various lawsuits, regulatory proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Although the Company no longer owns an interest in these subsidiaries, it may have liability with respect to the outcomes of certain lawsuits, regulatory proceedings or claims against the former subsidiaries to the extent specified in indemnification provisions of the share sale agreements to which the Company is a party, including the six year indemnification period following the closing of the 2degrees Sale. Management believes that although the outcomes of these proceedings are uncertain, any liability ultimately arising from these actions should not have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 
The Company is not aware of any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or securities regulatory authority or other regulatory body to which the Company is subject, nor any settlement agreements before a court or with a securities regulatory authority to which the Company is a party.
 
In November 2022, NuevaTel and Balesia filed a complaint in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida against Juan Pablo Calvo, NuevaTel’s chairman before the sale to Balesia and formerly NuevaTel’s CEO. The complaint alleged that Mr. Calvo violated his fiduciary duties to NuevaTel and interfered with NuevaTel’s contractual relations. The complaint was dismissed with prejudice on September 28, 2023. The plaintiffs have filed no notice of appeal and the deadline for doing so has passed.
 
Item 1A.
Risk Factors.

Stanton and his wife, Theresa Gillespie) to acquire all issued and outstanding Common Shares not already owned by SG Enterprises II, LLC (the “Additional Risk Factors”), there have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
