Chief Executive Officer’s Review
 
Marc Beuls, Chief Executive comments: “In the first quarter Millicom continued to deliver the high levels of growth seen in 2006. First quarter revenues increased by 86%, from $303 million in Q1 2006 to $563 million in Q1 2007. EBITDA rose by 74% to $248m and the group margin was 44%.

“The strong subscriber intake continued with approximately 1.6 million subscribers added in the first quarter taking total subscribers to 16.5 million. Capex for the first quarter was $183 million and is in line with our stated target of spending $800 million for the year, given that capex has traditionally increased throughout the year. We have continued to invest in the networks in all our regions, with capacity added in Central America to handle the additional traffic from the move to per-second billing; with a step-up in the network build-out in Colombia; with significant investments in additional coverage throughout most African countries; and with the continued investment in Sri Lanka. The progress made in expanding the networks in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sri Lanka enabled us to launch the “tigo” brand in these countries in January. Today DRC is our first market that is fully e-pin, and offers per second billing as well. We are starting to see the benefits of this offering and DRC had 194 thousand subscribers by the end of the first quarter which is encouraging.

“Central and South America continue to be the fastest growing regions being the first to launch “tigo” and being leaders in offering e-pin. Per second billing was launched in all three countries in Central America in late January, following the success of per second billing in Paraguay in 2006, and the first indications are encouraging. Revenues compared to the fourth quarter, which is typically a very strong quarter, were maintained in Central America. This is an encouraging sign for the rest of the year because traffic has increased roughly 25% in two months to compensate for the 25% effective tariff reduction as a result of the introduction of per second billing. This is similar to the price elasticity that we witnessed in Paraguay throughout 2006. From Q1 2006 to Q1 2007, Central America saw revenues increase 59% and EBITDA rise by 73%, with a 55% EBITDA margin.

“In South America, excluding Colombia which was acquired in Q4 2006, underlying quarterly revenue growth was 70% and EBITDA growth was 98%. Revenue growth in Paraguay was particularly strong at 83%, continuing the trend that started in early 2006 following the introduction of per second billing. Progress in Colombia has been encouraging with subscribers starting to rise and the EBITDA margin was higher than expected at 21%, up from 16% last quarter. It is expected that revenues will start to rise in Colombia in Q3 when the distribution and the visibility of “tigo” will have improved.





“In Africa, with revenues and EBITDA up by 55% and 30%, respectively, we are already seeing the beneficial effect of the launch of “tigo” and we believe that in the future our African businesses can achieve similar if not higher levels of growth than those in Latin America. In the fourth quarter of 2006, we removed a number of low revenue subscribers from the network in Tanzania which affected net subscriber intake for the fourth quarter but in 2007 subscriber growth has accelerated again. Encouragingly the EBITDA margin in Africa as a whole improved slightly from 36% in Q4 2006 to 37% in Q1 2007, reversing the recent quarterly downwards trend.

“In Asia, we introduced per-second billing in Cambodia in mid-January 2007. Revenues were surprisingly strong given the effective tariff reduction from the change to per-second billing, and were up 15% versus the fourth quarter of 2006. In Sri Lanka we are starting to see positive results following the launch of “tigo” in January. Revenues were up 42% versus the first quarter of 2006 reflecting the investments that have been made on the network in 2006 and early 2007. Overall, Asia reported a 22% growth in revenues, an 11% growth in EBIDTA and a margin of 41%. During the first quarter we completed the sale of Paktel for an enterprise value of $460 million and we recorded a net gain on the sale of the business of $258 million.

“The year started well for us and with per second billing, e-pin and increasing capex fuelling growth in most of our markets, we expect 2007 to be another record year.”

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

SUBSCRIBER GROWTH

In the first quarter of 2007 Millicom’s worldwide operations in Latin America, Africa and Asia added 1,570,033 net new total mobile subscribers.

At March 31, 2007, Millicom’s total mobile subscriber base increased by 94% to 16,515,478 subscribers from 8,492,069 as at March 31, 2006. Particularly significant year on year percentage increases were recorded in the Democratic Republic of Congo (240%), Ghana (114%), El Salvador (90%), Honduras (90%) and Guatemala (83%). The number of subscribers in Bolivia decreased from the fourth quarter as TDMA subscribers with low ARPUs are in the process of being churned off the network. Millicom’s attributable subscriber base increased to 14,133,664 as at March 31, 2007 from 7,088,043 as at March 31, 2006, an increase of 99%.

Prepaid subscribers accounted for 95% or 15,620,731 of the total mobile subscribers reported at the end of the first quarter.

FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 were $562.7 million, an increase of 86% from the first quarter of 2006 excluding discontinued operations. The Central American operations produced a 59% increase in revenues from $156.6 million for the first quarter of 2006 to $249.5 million for the first quarter of 2007. This increase in revenues was achieved despite a 25% effective tariff reduction from the introduction of per-second billing in January 2007. This demonstrates the strong price elasticity in these markets.

The momentum in South America continued with underlying year on year organic revenue growth of 70% for the quarter, excluding Colombia. Millicom has benefited from the introduction of e-pin and per second billing, and the focus on value-added services, which have led to strong ARPUs, particularly in Paraguay. Including Colombia, which was consolidated in the fourth quarter of 2006, revenues for South America were $167.4 million, up 274% from the first quarter of 2006

Revenues for Africa in the first quarter were $103.2 million compared to $66.7 million in the first quarter of 2006, an increase of 55%. Millicom continues to deliver excellent revenue growth in Africa through increased capex to grow its networks. Excluding DRC and Chad, which are in the start up phase and therefore growing from a low base, the strongest market was again Ghana which grew by 141%. Revenue growth in Tanzania improved strongly from the previous quarter following the recent change in management. Senegal and Mauritius continued to grow well and good progress continues to be made in Chad and DRC.

Paktel was classified as a discontinued operation from the fourth quarter of 2006 and in the first quarter of 2007 the business was sold to China Mobile for $287 million in cash. The new combined Asian cluster comprising Cambodia, Laos and Sri Lanka grew by 22% year on year to $42.6 million, with Cambodia growing by 18% and Sri Lanka by 42% over the period. The growth in Cambodia was impacted by the introduction of per-second billing and the growth in Sri Lanka was driven by the significant capex in 2006 and early 2007.

EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2007 was $248.1 million, a 74% increase from the first quarter of 2006. Central America recorded growth in EBITDA of 73% from the first quarter of 2006 to $136.3 million and South America was up by 98% excluding Colombia for the similar period, and by 203% to $55.8 million including Colombia. EBITDA for Africa increased by 30% to $38.5 million. EBITDA for Asia was $17.4 million, an 11% increase from the first quarter of 2006.

The EBITDA margin in the first quarter of 2007 was 44% compared to 47% in Q1 2006. Excluding Colombia, the consolidated EBITDA margin would have been 49% in Q1 2007. Central and South America recorded EBITDA margins of 55% and 33% respectively. The South American EBITDA margin was impacted by the lower than average margin in Colombia Movil of 21%. Excluding Colombia, the EBITDA margin in South America would have been 48%. For Africa, the EBITDA margin was 37%, and for Asia it was 41%.


 COMMENTS ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


·     The acquisition of Colombia Movil has impacted most areas of the financial statements, with particularly major impacts on the subscriber numbers, depreciation, PPE, intangible assets (including goodwill) and external debt.

·     The depreciation charge in 2007 is substantially higher than in 2006 due to higher capital expenditures and the impact of Colombia.

·     The increase in property, plant and equipment (PPE) from December 31, 2006 is primarily a result of the higher capex levels to greatly improve the quality and coverage of the networks.

·     Paktel was classified as an asset held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2006 and its assets have been segregated and shown on separate lines on the December 31, 2006 balance sheet. Paktel was sold to China Mobile Communications Corporation in the first quarter of 2007.

·     Paktel, Pakcom, Vietnam and Peru have all been classified as discontinued operations in the financial statements. Accordingly, the current and prior year results have been amended to show these operations within a single line on the profit and loss statement.
