2012 forward looking statements (updated)

 

In 2012 we aim again to strike the right balance between top line growth, profitability, cash flow generation and return on invested capital. We expect the full year EBITDA margin to be around 43% and operating free cash flow margin of around 20% of revenue. In 2012, we expect capex, excluding spectrum acquisition, to increase but to remain below 20% of revenue, as we invest in IT and billing platforms and add further data capacity.

Strengthening our Innovation Capabilities

 

“In a somewhat challenging environment, we continued to invest in improving our customer proposition. We are particularly pleased having started harvesting benefits of these investments in Q2 with mild acceleration of organic growth versus Q1.  Underlying revenue grew 8.9% in Q2 2012 in local currency versus 8.4% in Q1. In the first half of the year, we accelerated investments in new growth categories, including staffing, network building and handset subsidies which resulted in a dilution of our EBITDA margin.

 

We have fine-tuned our 2012 EBITDA margin outlook as we have now increased visibility on the level of commercial investments we will undertake in the full year. Our previously communicated outlook for organic growth, cash generation and capex remain unchanged.

 

In Latin America, where we generate 80% of our revenue, the top line grew by 10.4% in local currency in the second quarter (9.9% underlying growth, accelerating from Q1). In Africa, top line growth in local currency increased by 5.7% in Q2.

 

In the first half of 2012 the Information category was again the strongest contributor to growth, contributing more than half of the revenue growth in local currency. At the end of June, 15.5% of our customers were using mobile data services in Latin America. For the first time ever we generated more revenue from Value Added Services than from Voice in one of our markets, Paraguay, our test-bed for innovation. We reiterate our previously stated ambition to generate more than 50% of revenue from Value Added Services by 2015 in Latin America, while continuing to grow our voice revenue.

 

Our future success depends on our ability to innovate and seize new growth opportunities, leveraging on the strengths we have built as a mobile operator.

 

In the coming quarters we will continue to invest to strengthen our innovation capabilities and to accelerate growth, through both our innovative categories and potentially external opportunities should they arise.

 

On Monday July 16 we shared our excitement about the agreement to acquire Cablevisión Paraguay. 20 years after we started operating in the country we are confirming our commitment to bringing the best quality products and services to the Paraguayan people at home, and on the move. We expect to finance the acquisition by slightly increasing our leverage.

 

In the absence of additional external growth opportunities, we reiterate our commitment to return excess cash to shareholders.

 

With our increased focus on innovation and sustainable investment, I am confident that we have the right action plan to deliver ongoing profitable growth.”

Operational review

 

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $1,181 million, an increase of 9.4% from Q2 2011 in local currency. Excluding exceptional items in Q2 2011, our underlying growth accelerated to 8.9% in the second quarter. In Q2 our reported revenue growth was negatively impacted by currency movements by 4 percentage points, essentially as a result of year-on-year strengthening of the US dollar versus most of our operating currencies across Latin America and Africa.

 

EBITDA for the quarter was $513 million, a local currency year-on-year increase of 3.6%. The EBITDA margin at 43.4% was 2.4 percentage points lower than Q2 2011. A bad debt provision related to an international reseller and one-off tax impacts in Africa and Latin America contributed 1 of the 2.4 percentage points decline. The remainder was predominantly driven by increased investments, notably in handset subsidies and in support of growth in our most innovative categories, such as Mobile Financial Services.

 

Subsidies in Q2 increased by 16% in local currency. In the transition from voice to data we are aiming to secure a larger market share in data than voice and have therefore increased subsidies to customers subscribing to smartphone data plans. The move from prepaid to postpaid and from voice only to voice and data packages is a trend, which brings positive outcomes such as ARPU growth and churn reduction. In Q2 we again achieved a parallel curve between revenue growth and capex growth on 3G. Moreover, pay-back on subsidies remains below one year and ROIC on 3G investment started in 2008 in Latin America is significantly above WACC.

 

Focus on Regions

 

Overall we achieved an improvement in the year-on-year local currency revenue growth rate over Q1 2012. Local currency revenue growth in Central America reached 7.9% (6.3% without the one-off revenue adjustment in Guatemala in Q2 2011) while the growth rate in South America declined slightly to 13.1% (from 14.4% in Q1 2012).

 

Africa reported stable single digit revenue growth as pricing pressure has yet to result in attractive elasticity. We are implementing initiatives in Africa that should improve top line growth later this year.

Mobile ARPU

 

ARPU declined by 1.1% year-on-year in local currency whilst remaining almost flat for the fourth consecutive quarter in Latin America and declining by 3.2% in Africa.

 

In Q2 2012, close to 80% of our revenue was generated from 26% of our customers with ARPU in excess of $10. In Latin America, as much as 85% of our revenue came from one third of our customers.

N.B. ARPU figures are based on total mobile revenue less roaming revenue.

 

ARPU stabilisation and growth in Latin America remains a key focus. Central America is more challenging due to pricing pressures on voice, particularly in El Salvador. Nonetheless, we remain focused on selling more data services to our customers in Central America, similar to our success in South America.

 

In South America, our ARPU growth remained a solid 2%. It has slowed due to some pressure on voice ARPU in Colombia. We plan a significant increase in investment in the Colombian market in both capex and device subsidies to attract an increasing number of customers with data propositions.

 

In Africa elasticity remained unsatisfactory. We again experienced significant differences between the various markets with some growing rapidly and some remaining challenging. On an encouraging note, subscriber intake improved in several of our markets, an early indicator of improved commercial momentum.

Central America: 40% of group revenue

 

Revenue from mobile and cable operations in Central America totalled $476 million in Q2 2012, up 7.9% in local currency (6% reported). In Q2 2011 a one-off adjustment was recorded in Guatemala related to revenue recognition on hybrid plans. Excluding this adjustment, local currency revenue growth in Central America increased to 6.3% from 4.7% in Q1.

 

Central America reported a 3.4% year-on-year decline in mobile ARPU in local currency, mainly pulled down by ongoing pricing pressures in El Salvador.

 

In the Information category, mobile data grew at a healthy rate of approximately 28% year-on-year in local currency. In fixed broadband we were pleased to see continued strong momentum in Costa Rica and El Salvador.

 

The Solutions category was our fastest growing category in Central America, approaching 40% local currency growth in this quarter.

In Central America the EBITDA margin at 49.7% in Q2 declined 1.9 percentage points from Q2 2011. We accelerated our network investments in Q2 2012 versus Q2 2011, as we see growth opportunities in the Information category in Central America. We also increased handset subsidies in Central America in Q2 year-on-year. Voice pricing pressure in El Salvador also contributed to the margin decline in Central America.

 

Certain taxes increased in our three Central American mobile markets. The most significant being a security tax introduced in Honduras in Q3 2011. Corporate income tax rate increased in El Salvador and Guatemala from January 2012.

South America: 40% of group revenue

 

Revenue in South America in Q2 2012 amounted to $466 million, up 13.1% in local currency (9.7% reported). Adjusting for a one-off related to revenues in Q2 2011, growth in local currency was 13.5%.

We added close to 210k new customers in the quarter with more than 80% of the net additions in Colombia. ARPU in local currency continued to grow in Q2, increasing by 2% versus the second quarter of 2011.

 

All categories reported strong growth in Q2 in South America. Communication revenue grew over 5% year-on-year, and growth in the Information category was near 50% again this quarter. In Q2, around 18% of our recurring revenue in South America was generated in the Information category, the highest level in the group.

 

EBITDA reached $185 million, a 2% increase year-on-year, and the EBITDA margin was 39.8%, declining by 3 percentage points. This decline was largely attributable to an increase in investments to further grow our market share in data.

 

With its large and developed market and a fast growing economy, opportunities in the Colombian market are very important to us. Our market share in mobile data is already more than twice the size of our market share in voice. We are committed to becoming a stronger player in Colombia, even if this requires significant short-term investment as mobile data uptake accelerates. We plan to increase network investments to improve the quality and coverage of our mobile services. We will continue to encourage and support our customer transition from voice to data, and from prepaid to postpaid by offering quality services attractively bundled with smartphone subsidies.

 

In South America, in particular Colombia, we are interested in acquiring additional spectrum to provide 4G services and to improve the quality of service to our customers through increased capacity. However, acquisition of spectrum, like all our investments, must deliver the expected returns. In total 225 MHz of spectrum in several spectrum bands are expected to be auctioned in Colombia in Q3 2012.

Africa: 20% of group revenue

 

Consistent with Q1, revenue in Africa reached $239 million, growing 5.7% year-on-year in local currency (2.9% decline reported). Revenue growth was negatively impacted during the quarter as a result of strengthening of the USD against many of the currencies in our African markets.

 

Pricing remained challenging in the second quarter of the year and new players entered Ghana and Rwanda.

 

Despite this, we increased our net customer additions compared with Q1 2012, and stemmed our local currency ARPU decline.

 

Mobile ARPU declined by 3.2% in Q2 in local currency, (versus -6.8% in Q1). We anticipate further ARPU decline in 2012 as we continue to focus on the affordability of our services and as penetration growth opportunities still exist in our African footprint.

 

Revenue growth in the Communication category was broadly flat this quarter, a clear function of the pricing pressure we are experiencing and which is yet to yield volume elasticity.

The EBITDA margin was 38% in Q2 2012, down 2.4 percentage points year-on-year as we focused on restoring our affordability perception. We recorded a provision for bad debts of $5 million in Senegal on an international reseller.

 

In Q2 we continued to invest in developing new products and services in the Information, Entertainment, Solutions and MFS categories, as we believe these new services will be instrumental in differentiation and in delivering growth. We were encouraged by acceleration in local currency growth in Q2 in the Entertainment and MFS categories in Africa.

 

Capex in Africa amounted to $84 million in Q2, an increase of $38 million over Q2 2011. This included an investment in spectrum in DRC where we acquired 2x 4MHz of spectrum in the 900MHz band and extended the term of our existing license to 2024.  This valuable low frequency band spectrum will enable us to more efficiently expand our network to new regions of this large and populous country.  We were also granted a 3G licence and plan to launch enhanced data services as soon as possible.

Focus on categories

 

In Q2 2012 we progressed further with the implementation of our new organization structure. Approximately 85% of our revenue growth in the quarter came from the four new categories in which we are investing, namely Information, Entertainment, Solutions and MFS.

 

Development of innovative VAS contributed to a moderate 1.1% decline in ARPU in local currency this quarter (versus 2.6% in Q1 2012). This was achieved despite competitive pressure in three African markets and in El Salvador.

 

Recurring revenue outside of the Communication category grew circa 31% in local currency (up from 29% in Q1) and contributed close to 27% of our recurring revenue in Q2 (31% in Latin America).

Communication: 16% of recurring revenue growth

 

With 73% of our recurring revenue in the quarter, the Communication category remains our largest category by revenue and contributed 16% of our local currency growth in the quarter.

 

The moderate growth in this category is essentially the result of high penetration levels in Latin America combined with higher competitive pressure in El Salvador and Ghana, which has yet to be compensated by volume growth.

 

As in past quarters, we expect continued, although mild revenue growth in this category, despite unfavorable pricing environments in some of our markets. SMS growth, which accelerated in Q2 to 9% (8% in Q1), is expected to be instrumental in achieving this growth.

 

We anticipate further growth in penetration of both customers and usage (MOU, SMS penetration) particularly in Africa but also through our innovative approach to addressing the needs of customers. In depth analysis of customers’ usage patterns and further segmentation combined with relevant bundling of services should continue to support growth in this category.

 

Information: 49% of recurring revenue growth

 

In Q2 2012 Information was again the biggest single contributor to our revenue growth contributing to close to half of our revenue growth.

 

We now have close to 5.2 million users of data services representing around 11.7% of our total customer base.  In Latin America, we

have 4.2 million data users, 15.5% of our customer base.

In Q2 we continued to invest in mobile data as we see the largest short to medium term revenue growth opportunities in the Information category.

 

We are accelerating the pace of commercial investments in subsidies in our markets in Latin America as we see unmet demand for access to the internet and rapid return on subsidies (less than one year). The growing availability of attractively priced and good quality Smartphones should as well enable acceleration of mobile internet uptake. In Q2 2012, we again grew our subsidies at almost twice the rate of our top line growth, like in Q1 2012. We expect the adoption of mobile data services to accelerate in our footprint.

 

We are pleased to see a high correlation between traffic and revenue growth in data as a result of our well-controlled pricing policies.

 

In 2011 we invested close to $250 million in capex for 3G capacity and coverage and expect to invest almost 50% more in 2012 to meet demand.

 

Entertainment:  15% of recurring revenue growth

 

Revenue for the Entertainment category increased by 16% year-on-year, a marked acceleration compared with the local currency growth rate of 12% in Q1 2012 and 8% in Q4 2011.

 

Revenue in Entertainment in Africa accelerated significantly in the quarter as we launched several new music products that go beyond Ring Back Tones. Year-on-year growth in local currency in Africa reached circa 38% in Q2, versus 19% in Q1.

 

We have now launched SMS-browsing services in most of our markets. With this service, and as we did with mobile voice, we are making access to the web affordable to all our customers, even those who cannot yet afford to purchase smartphones.

 

Solutions:  11 % of recurring revenue growth

 

Solutions category revenue increased in Q2 by 35% in local currency. Our most successful products in the category continue to be our airtime lending products including ‘Tigo Lends You’ which accounted for over two third of our revenue in the category in the first half of 2012.

 

In 2012 we are starting to accelerate the diversification of our revenue sources in this category. We have expanded our product offering services under the ‘Tigo Care’ umbrella. We have now rolled out services in this product line in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Colombia and Ghana.  For example we now offer mobile phone insurance, medical consultation call services, and, through a partner in Guatemala, certain types of health insurance.

 

These products, like some of our products in the Entertainment category, have structurally lower gross margins than our airtime lending products but meet the needs of our customers, increase loyalty, reduce churn, and require limited capex.

 

9



 

MFS:  9% of recurring revenue growth

 

Our Mobile Financial Services (MFS) category continued to develop well in Q2 2012 and offers attractive potential in the medium to long term. Mobile Financial Services contributed to close to 9% of our group revenue growth and 0.8% of group revenue. To date, this achievement has been realized with three markets and with essentially one product - domestic money transfer. We have plans to expand our product offering in the coming months.

 

In Tanzania penetration of MFS has now reached close to 30% of our customer base. In Paraguay 18% of our customers were using the service in Q2. In partnership with Western Union we have now launched an international money transfer service for our Paraguayan customers.

 

In Rwanda the growth in penetration of MFS services continued to be strong in Q2. At the end of June, 12% of our customers in Rwanda were active users of MFS.

 

The development of MFS is highly dependent upon the specific environment in each market, which includes the regulatory framework, varying customer needs (for example local or international remittances), banking penetration, and the image of the telecom industry. Accordingly, the rate of development of MFS will vary from country to country.

 

We expect to launch MFS in Chad, DRC and Bolivia this year.

D&A was $199 million, $10 million higher than a year ago, primarily due to increased capex.

 

Financial expenses and income

 

The cost of financing before tax in Q2 2012 was higher than in the previous year and includes finance leases on towers sold and leased back. The main driver for the increase in financial expenses was an increase in leverage in the second quarter of 2012 through the issuance of a non recourse bond in local currency in Bolivia.

 

We recorded non-cash non-operating income of $89 million from the change in value of the put option granted to our partner in Honduras.

 

Taxes

 

In Q2, taxes increased by $28 million year-on-year to $85 million, negatively impacted by utilization of the Deferred Tax Asset (DTA) recorded in Colombia in H2 2011 (for a non-cash amount of $31 million in Q2 2012). This utilization is anticipated to continue and increase through to 2015.

 

Capex

 

In Q2 2012 we invested $264 million in capex, a significant increase over Q2 2011 as we anticipated our investments earlier in the year to support strong growth in our Information Category.

 

In Q2 2012 we invested $36 million in spectrum, primarily in the Democratic Republic of Congo where we acquired 2x 4MHz of spectrum in the 900MHz spectrum band and we extended the term of our existing license to 2024.  In addition, in July we acquired a 3G license for $15 million.

 

In the first half of 2012 we received close to $83 million in cash from the transfer of towers to the different Tower companies in Tanzania, DRC and Colombia, of which $15 million was received in Q2. We expect to receive $140 million in 2012 in total and $30 million in 2013.

 

FCF generation

 

Free cash flow for Q2 12 was $82 million and $326 million in H1 (13.9% of revenues).

 

$291 million of cash was upstreamed during Q2 2012 through a combination of dividends, management fees and royalties.

 

Debt structure and maturity profile

 

Approximately 59% of the Group’s gross debt is denominated in local currency, limiting local foreign exchange exposure. US$ denominated debt is used in countries where long term debt in local currency is either too expensive or not available.

 

At the end of Q2 2012, 52% of gross debt was at fixed interest rates, reducing our exposure to interest rate volatility.

 

In the second quarter Millicom’s Bolivian operation raised 1.26 billion of Bolivian pesos (around $180 million). The bond was issued with a coupon of 4.75% and without a group guarantee.

 

Net debt to EBITDA increased to 0.8x at the end of the quarter (from 0.6x at end of March 2012). Millicom has around $0.9 billion of cash on hand with approximately 65% held in US$.

 

Shareholder remuneration

 

In Q2 2012, Millicom bought back $105.8 million worth of shares as part of the share buyback program that we announced for 2012. 1,152,027 shares were acquired at an

 

11



 

average price of $91.81 in the second quarter. During the quarter Millicom also distributed $244 million of dividends to its shareholders. The Board has approved a share buyback program of up to $300 million worth of shares in 2012. The share buy-back will take place in the US and in Stockholm (including on Multilateral Trading Facilities).

 

As in previous years, in the absence of further external growth opportunities, excess cash will be returned to shareholders later in the year.

 

2012 Forward looking statements (updated)

 

In 2012 we again aim to strike the right balance between top line growth, profitability, cash flow generation and return on invested capital.

 

For the full year 2012, we expect an EBITDA margin of around 43% as we decided to accelerate our commercial investments mainly in 3G and in our most promising innovative services. We still guide for an operating free cash flow margin of around 20% of revenue.

 

As previously communicated, we expect capex in 2012 to increase compared to 2011 but to remain below 20% of revenue, as we invest in IT and billing platforms and add further data capacity. Our capex outlook excludes potential spectrum acquisitions.

 

This outlook excludes the possible impact of the Cablevisión Paraguay acquisition, the closing of which is conditional on approval from the relevant regulatory authorities.

 

Integrity update

 

In this section we provide an update on performance and progress regarding compliance and corporate social and environmental responsibility, including anti-corruption and health and safety.

 

During Q2 Millicom was recognized for the positive social impact of its operations in its markets. The Company was awarded as a winner of the G20 Challenge on Inclusive Business Innovation. The Challenge recognizes businesses with an innovative, scalable and commercially viable way of working with individuals at the base of the socio-economic pyramid.

 

In Q2 corporate responsibility management, has been focused on:

 

1)Mapping of local practices,

 

2)In-country risk assessments, and

 

3)Engaging with a number of relevant stakeholders.

 

The goal of the analysis is to introduce further global guidance and policies in different specific areas in the remainder of the year.

 

Human Rights- In the area of freedom of expression and as a first step to harmonize practices across operations, Millicom has carried out internal reviews of legal and regulatory landscapes and internal processes relating to privacy and government requests. The Company also continued to engage a number of governmental and non-governmental stakeholders on the issue, including participation in the Stockholm Internet Forum.

 

Following a review of ethical purchasing polices in Q1, Millicom carried out further reviews of the procurement process and completed a supplier impact assessment in Q2.

 

12



 

Labor standards- A first level review of labor condition risks has been completed in all markets. Millicom has joined ten other Swedish companies in a series of workshops and training. These activities will be carried out over two years and led by Unicef and the Playing for Change Foundation. They are designed to support companies in implementing the newly launched Children’s Rights and Business Principles. This workshop was the first of its kind since the launch of the United Nations Global Compact Principles.

 

Environment- A Health and Safety and Environment Integrated Management System will be piloted in two countries during the second half of the year, with the intention of rollout to other markets in 2013. In line with this development, Millicom defined a company-wide long-term strategy on energy efficiency and CO2 reduction (spanning until the year 2020). A global project on e-waste began by mapping equipment, quantities and international and local legislation as well as discussions with potential e-waste management vendors.

 

Anti Corruption- A Conflict of Interest tool was successfully launched in all markets during Q2. New integrity Awareness trainings took place in the operations in Q2. A specific anti-bribery training was conducted to local CFOs and financial controllers in June.

 

Subsequent events

 

On July 16, 2012, we announced the proposed acquisition of 100% of Cablevisión Paraguay for total cash consideration of $150 million. The deal is subject to review from the relevant regulatory authorities. We expect approval to be obtained and closing to take place towards the end of 2012.

 

On July 2, 2012, in DRC, we were granted a 3G licence and 2x15MHz of spectrum, valid for 15 years.
