(i)	Subscriber figures represent the worldwide total number of subscribers of cellular systems in which Millicom has an ownership interest.
(ii)	Proportional subscribers are calculated as the sum of Millicom’s percentage ownership of subscribers in each operation.

*	Due to local issues in El Salvador, Millicom discontinued consolidating its operation in El Salvador on a proportional basis from May 2001 to September 15, 2003. Figures for 2003 include El Salvador from September 15 to December 31, 2003 only. Figures for 2004 include El Salvador.

Marc Beuls, Millicom’s President and Chief Executive Officer stated:

“Millicom had a strong year with increasing growth in subscribers quarter on quarter and total growth in revenues for the year of 42%. Today Millicom has reached a total of 8 million subscribers across its operations. This excellent momentum has been created by a combination of additional investment in GSM and price elasticity in our main markets. In 2004 Millicom rolled out GSM across Central and South America and we have rebranded our GSM offering under the Tigo brand. Tigo has enabled Millicom to attract higher spending customers, particularly in Central America, which is our largest region in terms of revenues. In November we launched a GSM network in Pakistan leading to rapid growth, so that by the year end we had more than one million customers in this market and Paktel has added in excess of 275,000 new GSM customers to date. The other key driver to growth in 2004 has been the price elasticity we experienced following tariff reductions for customers, particularly in Vietnam, which have driven minutes of use for our existing customers, as well as enabling us to penetrate these markets more rapidly as cellular services become more affordable.

“The operating profit in the fourth quarter was negatively impacted by the launch of the GSM service by Paktel in Pakistan. It will take Paktel more than two years to reach the levels it was experiencing prior to the launch of GSM. This will erode Millicom’s overall operating profit somewhat over that period of time.

“In December 2004 and January 2005 Millicom successfully raised and settled some $400 million, split evenly between equity and convertible debt, and the proceeds of this will be used primarily for funding our businesses in Vietnam and Pakistan. Negotiations for an extension of our co-operation with VMS in Vietnam are ongoing and a decision on the future of the co-operation is expected in the second quarter. In Pakistan, Millicom extended Paktel’s license and is waiting to be offered formal terms by the regulator to extend Pakcom’s license.”

FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004

Total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2004 were $255.7 million, an increase of 27% from the fourth quarter of 2003 and of 8% from the previous quarter, reflecting the increasing trend of growth in Millicom’s operations. Millicom recorded revenue growth in Africa of 63% to $44.4m in the fourth quarter of 2004 compared with the same period in 2003, with Tanzania producing growth of 85%. Fourth quarter revenues for South East Asia were $64.6 million compared to $50.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2003, an increase of 29% and for South Asia, revenues were $24.9 million, a 15% decrease from the fourth quarter of 2003, owing to the delay in launching GSM services and a reduction in the long distance and international toll charges in Pakistan.

The Central American market continued to perform strongly, producing a 30% increase in revenues from $67.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2003 to $87.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2004. Comcel, our joint venture in Guatemala was mentioned in an investigation by the Guatemalan authorities into political donations to the administration of the former President.

Total cellular minutes increased by 39% for the year to December 2004 compared with 2003.

COMMENTS ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The net value of licenses increased to $277.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition and/or renewal of licenses in Pakistan, Ghana, El Salvador and Chad. The value of the Paktel license was recorded at the present value of the total cash outflows payable from 2004 to 2017 of a gross amount of $291.0 million, resulting in a license value of $216.5 million.

The unpaid portion of the licenses is recorded under the captions ‘other non-current liabilities’ and ‘other current liabilities’. As of December 31, 2004, the Paktel license results in a non-current liability of $176.0 million and a current liability of $28.3 million. The license in Ghana results in a non-current liability of $11.7 million and a current liability of $4.0 million.

In the fourth quarter Millicom recorded a $7.1 million asset impairment on AMPS and TDMA network equipment as a result of GSM migration in a number of operations. In addition Millicom has decided to shorten the amortization period on AMPS and TDMA network equipment in the relevant markets so that these assets will be fully amortized by the end of 2008.

For the fourth quarter of 2004, the conversion to US dollars of the 5% mandatory exchangeable Notes in Tele2 shares (the “5% Notes”) resulted in an exchange loss of $31.5 million. This loss was offset by a gain resulting from the valuation movement on the Tele2 shares of $18.0 million and a gain on the fair value result of the embedded derivative on the 5% Notes of $16.3 million. This resulted in a net gain of $2.8 million for the quarter.

For the year 2004, the conversion to US dollars of the 5% Notes resulted in an exchange loss of $27.5 million and the valuation movement on the Tele2 shares resulted in a loss of $127.2 million. These losses were offset by a gain on the fair value result of the embedded derivative on the 5% Notes of $148.7 million resulting in a net loss for the year of $6.0 million.

The interest expense for the fourth quarter of 2004 comprised prepaid interest and amortization of deferred financing fees on the 5% Notes of $6.4 million, interest and amortization of deferred financing fees on the 10% Notes of $14.8 million, interest expenses of $2.3 million computed on the Paktel license payable, interest expense of $2.1 million due to the early repayment of debt to a former minority holder of El Salvador which was recorded at the present value of the expected cash outflows, and interest expenses on other debt and financing of $5.6 million.

‘Other operating income’ represents a compensation of $3.3 million received from a supplier due to the late delivery of network equipment in Central and South America. The total compensation to which Millicom is entitled amounts to approximately $9.8 million. The compensation is in the form of vouchers to be used for future purchase of equipment. The recognition as other operating income occurs when the equipment is

delivered. Millicom currently has a contingent asset of approximately $6.5 million representing compensation which is expected to be recognized as other operating income in the first and second quarters of 2005, when the equipment is delivered.
