*      Includes discontinued operations

 

Mikael Grahne, President and CEO of Millicom, commented:

 

“We have made a good start to the year and continue to execute our strategy successfully.  Economic conditions have begun to show early signs of stabilization. We are happy to confirm our guidance, which reflects the risks of taxes and regulatory intervention.

 

“Organic revenue growth in local currency accelerated to 11%, reflecting strong performances in South America and Africa and some signs of stabilization in Central America.  With our basket of currencies strengthening against the US dollar year-on-year, reported revenue growth was 16%.

 

“We added 1.2 million new customers in the quarter as we continued to gain market share.  We expect customer intake to remain volatile for the next few quarters as a result of new customer registration requirements in four of our markets.

 

“Growth in value-added services (“VAS”), a major strategic focus for Millicom, was 40% in local currency and represented over 21% of recurring revenues.  Within this, data is becoming a material driver as demand for mobile internet access continued to grow strongly.  Together with our cable broadband operations, total broadband revenues were up 93%, with good prospects for further growth.

 

“The EBITDA margin for the quarter was 46.8%, an increase of 1.6 percentage points year-on-year and a record for the Group, reflecting our growing scale and an improving product mix.  We expect to maintain the Group EBITDA margin in the mid 40s for 2010 as a whole.

 

“Cash generation continued to be strong, with operating free cash flow of $234 million representing 25.9% of revenues and all regions generating positive cash flow.  Capex was unusually low in the quarter, at $99 million, due to timing issues, but we still expect to invest $700 million this year and generate an operating free cash flow margin in the mid teens.

“Last week we were pleased to announce our plan to return up to $800 million to shareholders, by way of a $500 million special dividend and a $300 million share buyback program. This demonstrates our commitment both to enhancing the returns from holding Millicom shares, and to improving the efficiency of our capital structure. After these returns, we will continue to have a net debt to EBITDA ratio of less than 1, leaving us well positioned to meet our existing investment requirements and pursue potential external growth opportunities.”

Review of operations

 

Financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2010

 

Mobile customers

 

In Q1 10, Millicom added 1.2 million net new mobile customers, reaching 35.1 million total mobile customers, an increase of 21% versus Q1 09. Of this number, 1.5 million were 3G customers.

 

In Central America, Guatemala grew its customer base by 19% year-on-year and Honduras and El Salvador grew their customer bases by 13% and 9% year-on-year respectively, producing customer growth for the region as a whole of 15%.

 

In South America, total customers increased by 17% year-on-year.  Bolivia recorded an increase of 30%, the highest in the region, despite the requirement for SIM card registration. In Paraguay some 79 thousand customer were added in the quarter, a year-on-year increase of 12%.  In Colombia the increase was 14%.

 

In Africa, total customers increased by 31%.  The best performing markets in terms of customer growth were Chad which grew by 63% year-on-year, Tanzania, which grew by 53%, and DRC, which grew by 35%.  In Ghana customer numbers were more or less unchanged from Q4 09 as the market in general remained flat in Q1, but we expect growth to recover in Q2.   In Senegal, some 285 thousand customers were added in the quarter, despite the ongoing arbitration process which means we have only been investing the minimum to alleviate capacity constraints in recent quarters.

 

Overall, we expect customer intake to continue to be quite volatile, due to variable factors including the macro environment, seasonality, SIM card registration, competitor promotions and our own marketing activities.

Customer market share

 

Millicom’s total market share increased by 0.5 points to 29.2% on a weighted basis compared to Q4 09.  Both Central and South America recorded small market share gains.  In Africa, our market share continued to build after a period of strong gains through 2009, despite an increased competitive response to our customer proposition and the uncertainty created by the SIM registration requirements in a number of markets.

ARPU

 

Year-on-year, local currency ARPU declined 9%, reflecting increasing stabilization relative to the much steeper declines in the first half of 2009. The decline has been driven in part by the changing regional mix, with higher customer growth in our lower ARPU African markets and by increased taxes in Central America.

 

Local currency ARPU in South America was flat year-on-year, while in Africa it fell only 3% despite strong customer growth.  ARPU in Central America was affected by the continuing negative trend in remittances, interconnect cuts, rising taxes and a continued decline in incoming international calls.

Revenues, EBITDA and EBITDA margin

 

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were $905 million, an increase of 16% from Q1 09. Underlying revenue growth in constant currency was 11% versus Q1 09, an acceleration from recent quarters.

 

Strong revenue growth in Africa was driven by continued good performances from Chad and Tanzania which reported top line growth of 67% and 42% respectively.  In South America, reported revenues were boosted by strong growth in Colombia and a positive forex impact.  Revenues in Central America were flat year-on-year in local currency, an improvement on the Q4 09 performance. Revenues continue to be negatively affected by new taxes and interconnection rate cuts.

 

4



 

VAS revenues continued to grow strongly, rising 40% over Q1 09 in local currency.  VAS now represent over 21% of recurring mobile revenues, and we expect new services to be a major driver of Group revenues and profitability going forward.

 

Group EBITDA for the quarter was $424 million, an increase of 20% from Q1 09, and the EBITDA margin reached 46.8%.  In Central America, Tigo’s number one position in all three markets produced an EBITDA margin of 56.7% as a result of the high proportion of on-net traffic and our overall scale. In South America, the EBITDA margin was 42.4%, an increase of 2.9 percentage points over Q1 09, helped by the strengthening margin in Colombia.  The margin in Africa was 38.4% (40.4% excluding Rwanda), up 4.0 percentage points from Q1 09 despite the start-up costs in Rwanda.

Central America

 

In Q1 10 Tigo added some 320 thousand net new customers in Central America, bringing the total at the end of the quarter to 13.2 million, up 15% year-on-year.  We remain focused on attracting higher quality customers in these more penetrated markets.  At the end of the quarter we had 639 thousand 3G customers across the region.

 

Revenues in Q1 10 were $322 million, down 1% year-on-year.  The flow of remittances from the US continued to be weak in January and February, but turned positive year-on-year in March for the first time for over a year.  However, remittance trends have historically been quite volatile and we do not yet have sufficient evidence of a sustained recovery.

 

In local currency, revenues for Central America overall were flat, with a good performance in Guatemala, driven by strong VAS growth.  Revenues in Honduras and El Salvador, continued to be impacted by taxes on incoming international calls and, in the case of El Salvador, a reduction in interconnect rates from 18 cents to 8 cents with no increase in minutes of use.  Across Central America, our customers have continued to show an increased appetite for promotions and offers built on price as they seek to optimize the use of their disposable income.

 

Margins in Central America were 56.7%, an increase of 1.8 percentage points from Q4 09, reflecting continued cost discipline and strong VAS growth.  EBITDA for Q1 10 was $182 million, flat year—on-year.

 

Capex in Central America in Q1 10 was $23 million, or 7% of revenues.  Capex was unusually low in the quarter as a result of phasing issues.

South America

 

Customers in South America increased 17% year-on-year to reach 9.0 million at the end of Q1 10. Bolivia recorded the highest year-on-year increase in customer numbers in the region, up 30% to 2.1 million, despite the ongoing registration program which is due to be completed during Q2.  In Colombia we added 71 thousand net new customers, representing a year-on-year increase of 14% and in Paraguay, we added 79 thousand new customers, an increase of 12%.  At the end of the quarter we had 847 thousand 3G customers across the region.

 

Revenues in South America in Q1 10 amounted to $312 million, up 32% from Q1 09 as we benefited from a positive currency translation effect in the quarter, mainly as a result of the strength of the Colombian peso.  Revenue growth in local currency was 17%, a slight improvement on recent quarters.

 

ARPU was flat year-on-year in local currency, which is encouraging given the strong customer growth in the region.  3G services and Paquetigos (bundles of minutes, SMS and Internet sold for use within a certain period of time) have continued to be aggressively marketed in Colombia and Paraguay alongside other value-added services.

 

EBITDA for Q1 10 was $132 million, up 41%, and the EBITDA margin was 42.4%, up 2.9 percentage points on Q1 09 helped by the strengthening margin in Colombia.  Across the region our businesses have produced sustained growth in revenues and EBITDA as a result of successful prepaid promotions and growth in VAS and 3G mobile data, combined with cost optimization and control.

 

Capex in South America for Q1 10 amounted to $22 million, a decline of 40% on Q1 09 and representing 7% of revenues.

Africa

 

Customers in Africa increased by 31% year-on-year and 643 thousand new customers were added in Q1 10, bringing the total at the end of March to 12.8 million.  Net additions were impacted by the churn from our very strong Q4 intake and additional administration relating to customer registration in three of our larger markets.  Nevertheless, we increased our market share further across the region.

 

Chad and the DRC continued to make good progress in terms of customer additions during the quarter, as did Senegal with some 285 thousand net customer additions, 91 thousand more than were added in Q4 09. Customer numbers in Ghana were unchanged quarter on quarter in the context of a flat market, but the market has shown signs of picking up again in April. In Rwanda, where the market has become more competitive in response to our recent launch, we added 40 thousand customers.

 

Revenues in Africa were up 27% year-on-year to $217 million, with local currency revenues up 26%.  Growth in Tanzania continued to be very strong, at 42%, despite increased competitor activity.  ARPU for Africa in local currency was down only 3% year-on-year, an encouraging performance in light of our continued strong customer growth.   New taxes may be introduced on international incoming calls in Ghana, while a numbering tax and a spectrum fee may implemented in the DRC. Any past exposure to taxes has already been provided for in the accounts.

 

EBITDA for Africa for Q1 10 reached $83 million, up 41% year-on-year. The EBITDA margin was 38.4%, up 4.0 percentage points over Q1 09. Excluding Rwanda, the margin was 40.4%. This strong improvement demonstrates our ability to generate attractive returns in low-ARPU markets once critical mass is achieved and we remain confident that this trend will continue, so that margins for Africa reach the average for the Group within two years.

 

We continue to invest heavily in Africa to capitalize on the medium to long term growth potential, with capex in Q1 10 of $43 million, or 20% of revenues.  Our established African operations are becoming increasingly cash generative, with operating free cash flow of $40 million during the quarter, excluding Rwanda.

Cable

 

At the end of Q1 10, Amnet, our cable and broadband business in Central America, had approximately 645 thousand revenue generating units, up 16% year-on-year.  Broadband customer growth continued to be strong, up 9% sequentially, and broadband customers now account for 24% of the customer base.

 

Revenues in Q1 10 for Amnet reached $47 million, up 9% from Q1 09.  Despite the tough economic environment in Central America, Amnet is demonstrating good growth, reflecting the attractive opportunity in cable broadband and TV services.  Residential broadband revenues were up 32% year-on-year.  EBITDA amounted to $18 million, up 15% versus Q1 09, with an EBITDA margin of 38.9% (Q1 09: 36.9% net of restructuring costs).

 

Cable operations generated operating free cash flow of $8 million in Q1 10 after capex of $10 million in the quarter.

 

Amnet passes 1.3 million homes in Central America and provides services to 486 thousand households giving a penetration of 38% of homes passed.  Customers take on average 1.3 services each from Amnet, and our aim is to increase this take-up of services by our customers by product innovation and marketing bundled services.

Forward looking statements

 

We are confirming our existing guidance for 2010, which reflects the impact of all external factors of which we are currently aware.  Capex is expected to be approximately $700 million in 2010 and the EBITDA margin is expected to be maintained in the mid 40s.  Operating free cash flow is expected to be in the mid teens as a percentage of revenues for 2010.

 

Comments on the financial statements

 

Operating free cash flow for Q1 10 was $234 million, or 26% of revenues. Capex was low in the quarter but working capital movements were unfavorable, with significant capex payments falling into the first three months and offsetting the benefit of low capex on cash flow generation.

 

Millicom booked foreign exchange gains in Q1 10 of $11 million as a consequence of the revaluation in local currency of the US$ denominated debt in the operations.

 

Dollar denominated debt is used in countries where long term debt in local currency is either too expensive or unavailable. Approximately 53% of the Group’s gross debt held at operational level is denominated in local currency, thus limiting foreign exchange exposure.  The main countries carrying dollar-denominated debt are Honduras, Ghana, Tanzania, Bolivia and DRC.

 

The effective tax rate was 30% in Q1 10. This was higher than the expected effective rate for the year as we incurred withholding tax on dividends paid up from the operations during the quarter.

 

Millicom benefited from a low cost of financing in Q1 10, coming from declining interest rates on its variable rate debt.  Over time, the Group intends to limit its exposure to variable rates through hedging.

 

Millicom now has $1,531 million of cash in hand, with around 79% of it held in US dollars. In addition, Millicom has $51 million of short term time deposits, and $51 million is held on pledge deposit for a financing in Chad and is not classified as cash under IFRS.

 

We expect to have a net debt to EBITDA ratio of under 1 after the payment of the dividends and the completion of the share buyback program.

 

The average gross debt maturity as at 31 March 2010 was 2 years and 6 months.

 

Millicom upstreamed $246 million in cash during Q1 10, through a combination of dividends, management fees and royalties.

 

On 31 March 2010, Millicom announced that Vimpelcom had not completed the agreement to acquire Millicom’s 74.1% holding in Millicom Lao Co. Ltd., its Laos operation, despite all conditions precedent having been met.  Millicom is reserving its rights under the terms of the agreement, including the right to seek compensation for any loss of value that arises as a result of Vimpelcom’s decision not to complete.  Millicom confirms its intention to proceed with the sale of its Laos operation.
