Mikael Grahne, President and CEO of Millicom, commented:

 

“The Group has made continued good progress in the second quarter. We have demonstrated an increasing level of control and consistency over the past 18 months: our operating model and strategy, focused on strong branding, market-leading distribution, customer-orientated innovation and a low cost base, are proving successful and sustainable.

 

“Our customer market share continues to increase. Growth has accelerated in South America, with all three of our markets performing strongly.  In Africa, we have maintained a good rate of growth and are outperforming our competitors.  In Central America, although remittances have shown some early signs of recovery, we continue to face headwinds from a weak economic environment and the impact of new taxes and interconnect cuts introduced in previous quarters. We believe that this region can return to growth, driven by our focus on innovation and the major opportunity that 3G presents, given the latent demand for internet access.

 

“ARPU in local currency declined further, but at a slower rate despite increasing taxes and regulation.  In South America, local currency ARPU was up 2%, as a result of strong execution on 3G and value-added services (“VAS”).  VAS revenues across the Group were up 29% in local currency, with non-SMS services being the main driver.

 

“Our EBITDA margin showed further improvement, and stood at 47.0% in Q2.  We have increased our strong margins in Central America while continuing to expand underlying margins in Africa as we achieve increasing scale in each market there.  With the strong margin performance in H1, and the full consolidation of Honduras in the second half of the year, we now expect the Group EBITDA margin to be around 47% for the full year 2010, compared to previous guidance of a margin in the mid-40s.

 

“We generated operating free cash flow of $227 million in Q2, or 24% of revenues.  This was partly driven by the strong margin performance, and partly by favourable capex phasing, with a total capex spend of $129 million in Q2.  Again, taking into account our strong H1 performance and the full consolidation of Honduras,

we are raising our guidance for operating free cash flow for 2010, from the mid teens to the high teens as a percentage of revenues. We still expect to invest approximately $700 million in capex for 2010 as a whole.

 

“As ever, we maintain a balanced view of the outlook.  We have multiple growth opportunities in voice penetration, market share gains, and new services. Our focus on branding, innovation, distribution and tight operational control has been key to our success thus far.  However, external factors — particularly the economic environment and regulation — may continue to influence our performance.”

Review of operations

 

Financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2010

 

Mobile customers

 

In Q2 10, Millicom added 1.6 million net new mobile customers, reaching 36.7 million total mobile customers, an increase of 19% versus Q2 09. Of this number, 1.8 million were using 3G-enabled devices.

 

In Central America, Guatemala grew its customer base by 19% year-on-year and Honduras and El Salvador grew their customer bases by 5% and 3% year-on-year respectively, producing customer growth for the region as a whole of 10%.

 

In South America, total customers increased by 15% year-on-year.  Bolivia recorded an increase of 17%, the highest in the region, despite the requirement for SIM card registration. In Paraguay some 53 thousand customers were added in the quarter, a year-on-year increase of 13%.  In Colombia the increase was 15%.

 

In Africa, total customers increased by 34%, with 1.3 million net adds in the quarter.  The best performing markets in terms of customer growth were Chad which grew by 53% year-on-year, DRC, which grew by 44%, and Tanzania, which grew by 43%.  Rwanda showed a strong pick-up in momentum, with 259 thousand customers added in the last three months.

 

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. In H2 we expect to see a temporary slowdown in customer additions in Africa, driven mainly by the compulsory registration of new customers in Ghana commencing in Q3 and in Tanzania commencing in Q4.

ARPU

 

Year-on-year, local currency ARPU declined 8%, 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 country 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 up 2% year-on-year, a notable achievement in the context of high penetration.  In Africa it fell 7%, the slight deterioration reflecting very strong customer growth and the impact of new taxes in Ghana.  ARPU in Central America was affected by interconnect cuts and new taxes introduced in 2009 in Honduras and El Salvador.

Revenues, EBITDA and EBITDA margin

 

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2010 were $929 million, an increase of 14% from Q2 09. Underlying revenue growth in constant currency was 11% versus Q2 09, similar to the rate achieved in Q1 10. While currency movements continued to boost reported performance, the strengthening of the dollar against a number of our currencies in the latter part of Q2 tempered this benefit.

 

Strong revenue growth in Africa was driven by good performances from DRC and Tanzania which reported local currency top line growth of 39% and 42% respectively.  In South America, reported revenues were strong in all three markets and we continued to benefit from a positive forex impact in Colombia.  Revenues in Central America were down marginally year-on-year in local currency, and continue to be negatively affected by the full year impact of new taxes and interconnection rate cuts.

 

VAS revenues continued to grow strongly, rising 29% over Q2 09 in local currency.  VAS represent 22% of recurring mobile revenues, and we expect new services to be a major driver of Group revenues and profitability going forward.  Non-SMS VAS, which comprise more sophisticated and less commoditised services, grew 50% in local currency. 3G customers and revenues are growing rapidly, and already account for nearly 5% of recurring mobile revenues in Latin America. The lower growth rate of total VAS revenues in Q2 10 reflects slower growth in SMS.

 

Group EBITDA for the quarter was $436 million, an increase of 17% from Q2 09, and the EBITDA margin reached 47.0%.  In Central America, our scale and strong market positions combined with a favourable product mix and good cost control continued to deliver very healthy margins. In South America, the EBITDA margin was 42.7%, an increase of 3.5 percentage points over Q2 09, helped by the strengthening margin in Colombia.  The margin in Africa was 36.9% (39.0% excluding Rwanda), up 3.2 percentage points from Q2 09 despite the start-up costs in Rwanda.

Central America

 

We recorded 149 thousand net customer additions in Central America in Q2 10.  Growth in Guatemala continued to be very good, with 255 thousand net additions and a year-on-year growth rate of 19%.  However, our base of customers in El Salvador and Honduras declined during the quarter, reflecting our continued focus on higher value customers.   The take-up of 3G services continued to be encouraging, and at the end of June nearly 4% of customers in Central America were using 3G services.

 

Revenues in Q2 10 were $330 million, broadly flat year-on-year.  The flow of remittances from the US improved in the second quarter, with year-on-year growth in all three markets, albeit off a much lower base than before.  However, remittance trends have historically been quite volatile and we do not yet have sufficient evidence of a sustained recovery. In addition, after 18 months of sharp declines in disposable income, we anticipate some caution on the part of our customers.

 

In local currency, revenues for Central America overall were marginally down year-on-year. Guatemala maintained its strong recent performance, but 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 introduced in December 2009.  Overall, ARPU declines continue to moderate, as a growing appetite for 3G and other non-voice services goes some way to mitigating the impact of external factors.

 

Margins in Central America were 57.8%, an increase of 1.1 percentage points on Q1 10 and 1.4 percentage points on Q2 09, reflecting continued cost discipline and strong VAS growth.  EBITDA for Q2 10 was $191 million, up 2% year-on-year.

 

Capex in Central America in Q2 10 was $30 million, or 9% of revenues.  We expect total capex for the year to be weighted towards H2.

 

After the quarter end, we reached an agreement with our local partner in Honduras to take full control of Celtel, our Honduran mobile business. Under the agreement, we have been granted an unconditional call option over his 33% stake in Celtel for the next five years.  We have granted our local partner a put option on his stake for the same period in the event of a change of control of Millicom.  As a result of this agreement, we will fully consolidate our Honduran operations from Q3 10.  This will also crystallize a significant accounting revaluation in Q3 10. We have provided pro forma financial data for the last 18 months in the appendix to this statement.

South America

 

In Q2 10, our South American customer base was up 15% year-on-year to 9.2 million.  With 212 thousand net adds during the quarter, we made good progress in all three markets.  Net adds in Colombia accelerated from Q1, while growth slowed a little in Bolivia as we completed the customer registration process.  We gained market share in Paraguay and Colombia, and maintained our share in Bolivia.

 

Revenues in South America in Q2 10 amounted to $323 million, up 30% from Q2 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 continued its trend of recent quarters, by accelerating further to 19%.  Paraguay performed very strongly, with revenues up 13% in local currency despite our strong market share and a highly penetrated market.

 

ARPU was up 2% year-on-year in local currency, driven by a strong performance in 3G and other VAS, as well as continued innovation in voice and data “paquetigos”.  We now have over 750,000 customers using 3G services in South America, representing over 8% of our regional customer base.

 

EBITDA for Q2 10 was $138 million, up 42%, and the EBITDA margin was 42.7%, up 3.5 percentage points on Q2 09, helped by increasing scale and efficiency in both Colombia and Bolivia.  South America now accounts for 32% of Group EBITDA, up from 26% in Q2 09.

 

Capex in South America for Q2 10 amounted to $42 million, a decline of 6% from Q2 09 and representing 13% of revenues.

Africa

 

Customers in Africa increased by 34% year-on-year and 1.3 million new customers were added in Q2 10, bringing the total at the end of June to 14.1 million.  The improvement in intake compared to Q1 10 reflected a seasonal reduction in disconnections and an improved competitive position in a number of markets. We also saw strong demand towards the end of the quarter in Tanzania and Ghana, as customers sought to sign up before the compulsory registration of new customers began in July.  This is likely to lead to lower African intake in H2.

 

Tanzania, Rwanda and Ghana all showed strong improvements in customer net additions during the quarter, and together accounted for 883 thousand new customers compared to 143 thousand new customers in Q1 10.  Progress in Senegal was slower, as we attracted 75 thousand net new customers compared to 285 thousand in Q1 10.

 

Revenues in Africa were up 20% year-on-year to $219 million, with local currency revenues up 24%.  Tanzania, DRC and Chad continued to demonstrate the strongest growth. Rwanda is continuing to develop in line with our expectations and contributed $4 million of revenues during the quarter.  ARPU for Africa in local currency was down 7% year-on-year, reflecting the strong customer growth during the quarter.

 

After our discussions with the authorities in DRC, we have reached agreement on numbering taxes and mobile frequency charges totalling $3 million for the full year 2010, and continue to discuss microwave frequency charges.  All actual or potential financial exposure has been provided for.  In Senegal, the introduction of a new tax on incoming international calls in July has been passed on to customers, although we expect these higher tariffs to have an impact on call volumes.

 

EBITDA for Africa for Q2 10 reached $81 million, up 31% year-on-year. The EBITDA margin was 36.9%, up 3.2 percentage points over Q2 09. Excluding Rwanda, the margin was 39.0%. The margin was lower than the previous quarter as a result of provisions for tax and custom duties in Chad, but underlying trends continue to improve across a number of our markets as we reach critical mass and begin to achieve operating leverage.

 

We continue to invest heavily in Africa to capitalize on the growth potential and to address the likely increase in traffic as tariffs continue to decline.  Capex in Africa in Q2 10 was $42 million, or 19% of revenues, but will be higher in H2 in line with our group capex guidance.

Cable and fixed broadband

 

At the end of Q2 10, Amnet, our cable and broadband business in Central America, had 642 thousand revenue generating units, up 11% year-on-year.  Residential broadband customer growth continued to be strong, up 34% year-on-year, and broadband customers now account for 25% of the customer base.

 

Revenues in Q2 10 for Amnet reached $49 million, up 12% from Q2 09.  Constant currency revenue growth was 9%. We continue to achieve consistent growth, driven mainly by our roll-out of broadband services to cable TV customers, with residential broadband revenues up 32% year-on-year.  Amnet passes 1.3 million homes in Central America and provides services to 480 thousand households giving a penetration of 37% 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 marketing bundled services, particularly by selling broadband services to our cable TV customers.

 

EBITDA for Amnet amounted to $18 million, up 7% versus Q2 09, with an EBITDA margin of 37.7% (Q2 09: 39.4% net of restructuring costs).  Including Navega, Cable operations generated operating free cash flow of $9 million in Q2 10 after capex of $15 million in the quarter.

 

Just after the period end, we reached agreement on the restructuring of the ownership of Amnet and Navega in Honduras by aligning the ownership structure of Amnet and Navega with that of our mobile operations. As a result, we will now be able to pursue synergies more effectively.

Forward looking statements

 

We are raising our guidance for 2010, to take into account our strong performance in H1 and the impact of the full consolidation of our Honduran operations from Q3.  The EBITDA margin is expected to be around 47%, compared to previous guidance of the mid-40s. Capex is still expected to be approximately $700 million in 2010, and the operating free cash flow margin is expected to be in the high teens, compared to previous guidance of the mid teens.

 

Comments on the financial statements

 

Operating free cash flow for Q2 10 was $227 million, or 24% of revenues. Capex was low in the quarter as a result of phasing, and is expected to be higher during H2.

 

Millicom booked foreign exchange losses in Q2 10 of $35 million as a consequence of the revaluation in local currency of the US$ 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 43% 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 for the quarter was 31%, which has been impacted by the high level of withholding tax on dividends upstreamed from our operations.

 

Millicom benefited from a low cost of financing in Q2 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 $1,229 million of cash in hand, with around 86% of it held in US dollars. In addition, Millicom has $47 million held on pledged deposit for a financing in Chad.

 

The net debt to EBITDA ratio was approximately 0.7x after the payment of the dividends. We commenced the share buyback program in May.  As at the end of June, we had acquired 86,400 shares at an average price of $81.77 (pre-dividend), for a total consideration of $7 million.  We intend to continue the $300 million program in Q3 and complete it by the end of the year.

 

The average gross debt maturity as at 30 June 2010 was 2 years and 6 months.

 

Millicom upstreamed $280 million in cash during Q2 10, through a combination of dividends, management fees and royalties. We have upstreamed more cash in H1 2010 than in the whole of 2009.

 

In June we completed the first phase of our Ghana tower deal with the transfer of 272 towers to Helios Towers Ghana, and received $12 million cash consideration.
