Chief Executive Officer’s Review

Marc Beuls, Chief Executive Officer, comments:  “In the second quarter of 2007, Millicom delivered another strong set of results. Second quarter revenues increased by 80%, from $341 million in the second quarter of 2006 to $613 million in the second quarter of 2007, EBITDA rose by 65% to $263 million, and the Group’s margin was 43%.  Overall, average revenues per subscriber (“ARPUs”) have remained steady despite aggressive price reductions in many countries during the second quarter, particularly in Africa, to further enhance the affordability of our products.  Competition in our markets continues to be strong, and we are facing faster reactions from our competitiors, particularly in Central America.  We need to remain innovative and a leader in offering value for money.  We also continually review our subscriber bases to ensure that we retain high quality customers, which should help to maintain our ARPUs.

“We have continued to invest in the networks in all our regions as the move to per second billing is an additional driver of growth and we need additional network capacity to process this increase in minutes of use. Millicom has introduced per second billing in most of its markets. In addition, we are continuing to aggressively expand our networks in Africa and Asia.  Furthermore, in Colombia there has been a need to extend the geographic coverage of the network as this operation focuses on growing its subscriber base and improving its distribution. We reiterate our stated capex target of over $800 million for the Group for the full year 2007. With investments of $183 million in the first quarter and an increased level of spending in the second quarter of $208 million, expenditure is following a pattern of increasing capex throughout 2007.

“We continue to grow our subscriber base at a steady rate and today we have 18 million subscribers on our networks. We feel confident that we can maintain the current rate of approximately 1.5 million net additions each quarter despite an expected higher than usual churn of customers due to the phasing out of our legacy TDMA and CDMA networks in Latin America in 2007 and early 2008, which are still used by nearly one million customers.  We expect that the higher ARPU customers will be able to afford a GSM handset and will migrate to our GSM networks.  The low ARPU customers are unlikely to be able to afford the handsets and, therefore, we will likely lose many of them.  The loss of these customers will have little impact on revenues because of their low ARPUs, but it is important to take this action to release spectrum in the 850 and 1900 bands for 3G services which we are planning to launch in our existing spectrum bands based on our current licenses in Latin America during 2008/9.




“Central and South America continue to be the fastest growing regions having been the first to launch tigo, aggressively rolling out e-PIN, and now having the benefit of per second billing. During the first quarter of 2007, we saw traffic increase by about 25% over two months in Central America which compensated for the 25% effective tariff reduction as a result of the introduction of per second billing in early February. In the second quarter, we saw a continuation of this acceleration in growth in the total number of minutes in Central America with revenues increasing by 49% during the second quarter of 2007 and EBITDA by 52%.  Different from our experience in South America when we launched per second billing, subscriber growth has been unusually strong so soon after the launch which has resulted in slightly lower ARPUs from deeper penetration. The EBITDA margin remained strong at 53%, reflecting the high level of on-net traffic that we generate as our market shares have strengthened across the region.

“In South America, excluding Colombia Móvil which was acquired in the fourth quarter of 2006, underlying quarterly year-on-year revenue growth was 58% and EBITDA growth was 74%. Revenue growth in Paraguay continues to be strong and its strong EBITDA margin of 53% reflects a number of factors: a strong market share, a high level of recurring revenue from Value Added Services and the benefits of per second billing, which are still being harvested 18 months after launch. In Colombia, progress has been very encouraging and in the second quarter subscriber intake was 92,805, reflecting our objective to grow Colombia Móvil’s market share quickly by improving the distribution system and marketing of tigo. An independent report by AC Nielsen dated May 2007, shows that the tigo prepaid distribution network in terms of points of sale with inventory is now second in the market. We believe we are quickly closing this gap. The EBITDA margin of Colombia Móvil continues to exceed our expectations and in the second quarter of 2007 it increased to 25%, up from 21% in the first quarter of 2007 and 16% in the fourth quarter of 2006.  Some momentum in revenue growth has now been achieved in Colombia but we expect to see the main benefits in the third quarter of 2007 and beyond with the implementation of Colombia Móvil’s improved distribution network.

“In Africa, quarterly revenues and EBITDA were up by 46% and 15% respectively year-on-year and the EBITDA margin was 31%. We believe that our African businesses can achieve higher levels of growth as we continue to invest heavily in expanding the networks. However, the lack of infrastructure in Africa, particularly the lack of roads and power, brings specific challenges which can slow down our expansion and increases the operating costs, impacting EBITDA.  Our aggressive plans to grow the businesses are temporarily impacting subscribers, revenues and particularly EBITDA in the short-term.  A promotion in Ghana in the first quarter of 2007 to lower the price of the SIM cards attracted many new subscribers but caused the number of subscribers to fall in the second quarter as a proportion of these new subscribers were not viable long-term customers.  In Senegal, new legislation was introduced that requires us to register our customers, which significantly impacted new subscriber intake in May and June, and will continue to dampen growth in the third quarter.  We expect that subscriber growth will accelerate at the beginning of the fourth quarter.  Also in Senegal, there were one-off costs of roughly $3 million that impacted EBITDA.  Furthermore, both Ghana and Tanzania reduced prices aggressively in the second quarter which temporarily impacted revenues and EBITDA for this quarter, but should benefit the rest of the year. In the second quarter we saw the benefits of the actions taken by the new management in Tanzania and we expect this operation to improve its performance in the future.  The beneficial effect of the launch of tigo is particularly evident in Chad which has been Millicom’s most successful launch ever.  Good progress is also being made with the rollout of the network in the DRC.

“In Asia, we introduced per-second billing in Cambodia in mid-January and tigo was launched in Sri Lanka in January and in Laos in March, demonstrating the improved offering that we now have in Asia. Revenues in Sri Lanka were up 61% versus the second quarter of 2006 reflecting the substantial investments that have been made in the network in 2006 and early 2007. Overall, Asia reported a 35% growth in revenues, a 44% growth in EBIDTA and a margin of 42%.

“With growth continuing at a strong pace fuelled by increasing capex across our markets, we expect 2007 to be another record year for the Group.

“This year's investor visit will be held between 29th October and 1st November in Colombia. We look forward to showing visitors how succesfully we are operating in this market only a year after entering the market with tigo.”

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were $613.4 million, an increase of 80% from the second quarter of 2006 excluding discontinued operations.  The Central American operations produced a 49% increase in revenues from $181.4 million for the second quarter of 2006 to $270.5 million for the second quarter of 2007.  This increase in revenues was achieved despite a 25% effective tariff reduction from the introduction of per-second billing in February 2007, demonstrating the strong price elasticity in these markets.

The momentum in South America continued with underlying year on year organic revenue growth of 58% for the quarter, excluding Colombia. This region 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 $188.4 million.

Revenues for Africa in the second quarter were $106.4 million compared to $72.7 million in the second quarter of 2006, representing an increase of 46%. Millicom continues to deliver good revenue growth in Africa through increased capex to expand our 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 83% from the second quarter of 2006. Revenue growth in Tanzania improved from the previous quarter following the recent change in the local management team.

Revenues for Asia grew by 35% year on year to $48 million and by 13% from the first quarter of 2007, driven by the tigo launches in Sri Lanka and Laos in the first quarter, and significant capex in 2006 and early 2007.

EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was $262.5 million, a 65% increase from the second quarter of 2006.  Central America recorded growth in EBITDA of 52% from the second quarter of 2006 to $143.1 million and South America was up by 74% excluding Colombia for the same period, and by 195% to $65.7 million including Colombia. EBITDA for Africa increased by 15% to $33.4 million. EBITDA for Asia was $20.4 million, a 44% increase from the second quarter of 2006.

The Group EBITDA margin for the second quarter of 2007 was 43% compared to 47% for the second quarter of 2006.  Excluding Colombia, the consolidated EBITDA margin would have been 47% in the second quarter of 2007.  Central and South America recorded EBITDA margins of 53% and 35% respectively. The South American EBITDA margin was impacted by the lower than average margin in Colombia Movil of 25%. Excluding Colombia, the EBITDA margin in South America would have been 48%.  For Africa, the EBITDA margin was 31%, and for Asia it was 42%.

FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2007

Total revenues for the first half of 2007 were $1,176.1 million, an increase of 83% from the first half of 2006.    Revenues for Central America were $520.0 million, an increase of 54%, and for South America, revenues were up 64% excluding Colombia or by 296% including Colombia to $355.8 million.  Revenues for Africa were $209.6 million, increasing by 50%.  In Asia revenues were $90.6 million, up 29% year on year.

4


EBITDA was $510.6 million for the first half of 2007, an increase of 69% over the first half of 2006.  EBITDA for Central America for the first half of the year increased by 61% from the first half of 2006 to $279.4 million and increased by 198% for South America to $121.5 million or by 85% excluding Colombia.  Africa recorded a 23% increase to $71.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007.  EBITDA for Asia was $37.8 million for the first half of 2007, up 26% year on year.

The Group EBITDA margin for the six months to June 30, 2007 was 43%, for Central America it was 54%, for South America 34%, for Africa 35% and for Asia 42%.

Total mobile minutes increased by 98% for the first half of 2007 compared with the same period in 2006.

SUBSCRIBER GROWTH

In the second quarter of 2007 Millicom’s worldwide operations in Latin America, Africa and Asia added 1,451,515 net new total mobile subscribers.

At June 30, 2007, Millicom’s total mobile subscriber base increased by 84 % to 17,966,993 subscribers from 9,759,901 as at June 30, 2006.  Particularly significant year on year percentage increases were recorded in the Democratic Republic of Congo (382%), Sierra Leone (166%), Chad (97%), Honduras (94%) and El Salvador (84%).  Millicom’s attributable subscriber base increased to 15,286,606 as at June 30, 2007 from 8,182,290 as at June 30, 2006, an increase of 87%.

Prepaid subscribers accounted for 95 % or 17,051,085 of the total mobile subscribers reported at the end of the second quarter.

 COMMENTS ON FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


·
The acquisition of Colombia Movil has impacted many areas of the financial statements, with particularly major impacts on the revenues, EBITDA, subscriber numbers, depreciation, and Capex.
   
·
The depreciation charge in 2007 is substantially higher than in 2006 due to higher capital expenditures and the impact of acquiring Colombia Movil.
   
·
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 Limited (Pakistan) 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 and, accordingly, the current and prior year results have been amended to show these operations within a single line on the profit and loss statement.
