The Millicom Group
A. The Millicom Group
The Group comprises a number of holding companies, operating subsidiaries and joint ventures with various combinations of mobile, fixed-line telephony, cable and wireless Pay TV, Broadband Internet and Mobile Financial Services (MFS) businesses.
Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities which Millicom controls. Millicom controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to variable returns from its investment in the entity, and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. Millicom has power over an entity when it has existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities, i.e. the activities that significantly affect the entity’s returns. Generally, control accompanies a shareholding of more than half of the voting rights although certain other factors (including contractual arrangements with other shareholders, voting and potential voting rights) are considered when assessing whether Millicom controls an entity. For example, although Millicom holds less than 50 % of the shares in its Colombian businesses, it holds more than 50 % of shares with voting rights. The contrary may also be true (e.g. Honduras where we own 66.7% of the shares but there is a super majority requirement at the board for decisions about the relevant activities of the operation). Our main subsidiaries are as follows:

(i)    Acquisition completed on December 13, 2018. Telecomunicaciones Digitales, S.A. (formerly Cable Onda S.A.) is fully consolidated as Millicom has the majority of voting shares to direct the relevant activities. See note A.1.2..
(ii)    Companies acquired during 2019. See note A.1.2..
(iii)    Fully consolidated as Millicom has the majority of voting shares to direct the relevant activities.
(iv) Acquisition completed on November 12, 2021(see Note A.1.2.). Millicom now owns 100% equity interest in Tigo Guatemala compared to 55% before the transaction. While Millicom owned more than 50% of the shares in these entities and had the right to nominate a majority of the directors of each of these entities, key decisions over the relevant activities were taken by a super majority vote. This effectively gave either shareholder the ability to veto any decision and therefore neither shareholder had sole control over the entity. Therefore, the operations of these joint ventures were accounted for under the equity method. See note A.2.1..
(v)    Tigo Guatemala is made up of the 2 entities in the table above, but also by the following less material entities: Comunicaciones Corporativas S.A. (“COMCORP”), Servicios Innovadores de Comunicación y Entretenimiento S.A. (“SICESA”), Distribuidora de Comunicaciones de Occidente S.A. (“COOCSA”), Distribuidora de Comunicaciones de Oriente S.A. (“COORSA”), Distribuidora Internacional de Comunicaciones S.A. (“INTERNACOM”), Servicios Especializados en Telecomunicaciones S.A. (“SESTEL”), Distribuidora Central de Comunicaciones, S.A. (“COCENSA”) and Cloud 2 Nube S.A. ("C2N").
A.1.1. Accounting for subsidiaries and non-controlling interests Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to Millicom. If facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the elements of control, a reassessment is performed to determine if control still exists. Subsidiaries are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. Transactions with non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with equity owners of the Group. Gains or losses on disposals of non-controlling interests are recorded in equity. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is also recorded in equity.Acquisition of subsidiaries and changes in non-controlling interests in subsidiaries
Scope changes 2022
As of June 14, 2022, the Group received the formal notification from the minority shareholders of Telecomunicaciones Digitales, S.A (formerly Cable Onda S.A.) confirming the exercise of their put option right to sell their remaining 20% shareholding to Millicom for an amount of approximately $290 million. The transaction was closed on June 29, 2022 and the payment was applied against the already recorded put option liability of $290 million. As a result, the non-controlling interests' carrying value of $78 million have been transferred to the Group's equity.

Scope changes 2021
On November 12, 2021, Millicom announced that it has closed the previously-announced agreement to acquire the remaining 45% equity interest in its joint venture business in Guatemala (collectively, "Tigo Guatemala") from its local partner for $2.2 billion in cash. The acquisition has been financed through a bridge facility (see note C.3.).
The acquisition has been determined as a business combination achieved in stages, requiring Millicom to remeasure its 55% previously held equity investment in Tigo Guatemala at its acquisition date fair value ($2,683 million); the resulting gain has been recognized in the 2021 statement of income under the line "Revaluation of previously held interests" and is included in the goodwill calculation.
The goodwill is attributable to the workforce and the high profitability of Tigo Guatemala. It is currently not expected to be tax deductible. From November 12, 2021 to December 31, 2021, Tigo Guatemala contributed $223 million of revenue and a net profit of $43 million to the Group. If Tigo Guatemala had been acquired on January 1, 2021 incremental revenue for the year 2021 would have been $1.38 billion and incremental net profit for the same period of $147 million. Acquisition related costs included in the statement of income under operating expenses were immaterial.
Finalization of Purchase Accounting
During the first half of 2022, Millicom has finalized the purchase accounting and determined the fair values of Tigo Guatemala's
identifiable assets and liabilities. Comparative figures as of December 31, 2021, have been restated accordingly. The finalization of
the purchase accounting had an effect on the following financial position line items previously reported as of December 31, 2021:

(i)     Fair value step-up have been recognized mainly on the following intangible assets:
a) the customer lists for an amount of $514 million, with estimated weighted average useful lives of 9.3 years.
b) the spectrum and licenses held by Tigo Guatemala for $51 million, with a remaining useful life of 11 years.
c) the trademarks and brand held and operated by Tigo Guatemala for $62 million, bringing its carrying value to $910 million. Management determined that the latter have indefinite useful lives.
(ii)     A fair value step-up of $184 million has been recognized on property, plant and equipment, mainly on the core network, network equipment and
owned towers. The weighted average remaining useful live is estimated at 6 years.
(iii)     The Group measured the lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments (as defined in IFRS 16) as if the acquired lease were a
new lease at the acquisition date. The right-of-use assets have been adjusted by $17 million to be measured at the same amount as the lease
liabilities.
(iv)     The fair value of trade receivables acquired approximate their carrying value of $42 million.
(v)     The acquisition has been determined as a business combination achieved in stages, requiring Millicom to remeasure its 55% previously held
equity investment in Tigo Guatemala at its acquisition date fair value; the resulting gain has been recognized in the statement of income under
the line "Revaluation of previously held interests" and is included in the goodwill calculation (see above).

Disposal of subsidiaries
Tanzania
As from March 10, 2022, and in accordance with IFRS 5, all assets and liabilities of our operations in Tanzania were classified as held for sale and their results have been removed from the results of continuing operations and are shown as a single line item on the face of the statement of comprehensive income under 'Profit (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax'. Comparative figures of the statement of income have been re-presented accordingly.
On April 5, 2022, Millicom completed the sale for an initial cash consideration of approximately $101 million (subject to final price adjustment). As per the sale agreement, the initial sale price is adjusted to consider some outstanding tax and legal contingencies which management believes is sufficient to cover any future claims on pre-closing matters. Should the price adjustments not be sufficient, Millicom might be liable and need to make additional provisions that are not covered by the latter. In addition, the agreement also provides an IPO(i) adjustment clause valid until April 5, 2024, whereby Millicom would reimburse the buyer for any negative difference between the share price per share on the IPO date and the one implied by this sale. As of December 31, 2022, no additional provisions have been made by management in respect of the aforementioned items.

Joint ventures
Joint ventures are businesses over which Millicom exercises joint control as decisions over the relevant activities of each, such as the ability to upstream cash from the joint ventures, require unanimous consent of shareholders. Millicom determines the existence of joint control by reference to joint venture agreements, articles of association, structures and voting protocols of the board of directors of those ventures.
At December 31, 2022, the equity accounted net assets of our joint venture in Honduras totaled $401 million (December 31, 2021: $406 million). These net assets do not necessarily represent statutory reserves available for distribution as these include consolidation adjustments (such as goodwill and identified assets and assumed liabilities recognized as part of the purchase accounting). Out of these net assets, $3 million (December 31, 2021: $3 million) represent statutory reserves that are unavailable to be distributed to the Group. During the year ended December 31, 2022, Millicom's joint venture in Honduras repatriated cash of $85 million in the form of management fees, dividend advances and repayment of a shareholder loan. For the same period last year, Millicom's joint ventures in Guatemala and Honduras repatriated cash of $62 million, out of which $13 million corresponding to other operating receivables remain outstanding.
Our main joint ventures are as follows:

(i)Millicom owns more than 50% of the shares in these entities and has the right to nominate a majority of the directors of each of these entities. However, key decisions over the relevant activities must be taken by a super majority vote. This effectively gives either shareholder the ability to veto any decision and therefore neither shareholder has sole control over the entity. Therefore, the operations of these joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method.

On October 13, 2021, Millicom, along with its joint venture partner Bharti Airtel Limited, closed the disposal of AirtelTigo Ghana to the Government of Ghana. As part of the closing conditions, each partner committed and paid $37.5 million for the reimbursement of certain local bank facilities which had been provided for in the statement of income under the line "Profit (loss) from other joint ventures and associates, net". Millicom still owns 50% of the holding company Bharti Airtel Ghana Holdings B.V..

At December 31, 2022 and 2021 the Group had not incurred obligations, nor made payments on behalf of the Honduras operations.Accounting for joint ventures
Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost (calculated at fair value if it was a subsidiary of the Group before becoming a joint venture). The Group’s investments in joint ventures include goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) on acquisition.
The Group’s share of post-acquisition profits or losses of joint ventures is recognized in the consolidated statement of income and its share of post-acquisition movements in reserves is recognized in reserves. Cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investments. When the Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless the Group has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures.
Gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint ventures. Losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Dilution gains and losses arising in investments in joint ventures are recognized in the statement of income.
After application of the equity method, including recognizing the joint ventures’ losses, the Group applies IFRS 9 to determine whether it is necessary to recognize any additional impairment loss with respect to its net investment in the joint venture.Material joint ventures – Honduras, Guatemala and Ghana operations Summarized financial information of the Honduras, Guatemala (until acquisition the remaining 45% equity interest, see note A.1.2.) and Ghana (until disposal in 2021) operations is as follows.

Impairment of investment in joint ventures
While no impairment triggers were identified for the Group’s investments in joint ventures in 2022, according to its policy, management have completed an impairment test for its joint ventures in Honduras.
The Group’s investments in Honduras operations was tested for impairment by assessing the recoverable amount (using a value in use model based on discounted cash flows) against the carrying amount. The cash flow projections used were extracted from financial budgets approved by management and reviewed by the Board (refer to note E.1.6. for further details on impairment testing). Cash flows beyond this period have been extrapolated using a perpetual growth rate of 1% (2021: 1%). Discount rate used in determining recoverable amount was 14.2% (2021: 8.9%).
For the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and as a result of the impairment testing described above, management concluded that the Group’s investments for its joint ventures in Honduras should not be impaired.
Sensitivity analysis was performed on key assumptions within the impairment tests. The sensitivity analysis determined that sufficient headroom exists from realistic changes to the assumptions that would not impact the overall results of the testing.Investments in associates
