Accounting Changes and Recent Accounting Pronouncements
|
•
|
We enter into certain long-term capacity contracts with customers where the customer pays the transaction consideration at inception of the contract. Under previous accounting standards, we did not impute interest for advance payments from customers related to services that are provided over time. Under ASU 2014-09, payment received from a customer significantly in advance of the provision of services is indicative of a financing component within the contract. If the financing component is significant, interest expense is accreted over the life of the contract with a corresponding increase to revenue.
|
•
|
ASU 2014-09 requires the identification of deliverables in contracts with customers that qualify as performance obligations. The transaction price consideration from customers is allocated to each performance obligation under the contract on the basis of relative standalone selling price. Under previous accounting standards, when we offered discounted equipment, such as handsets under a subsidized contract, upfront revenue recognition was limited to the upfront cash collected from the customer as the remaining monthly fees to be received from the customer, including fees associated with the equipment, were contingent upon delivering future airtime. This limitation is not applied under ASU 2014-09. The primary impact on revenue reporting is that when we sell discounted equipment together with airtime services to customers, revenue allocated to equipment and recognized when control of the device passes to the customer will increase and revenue recognized as services are delivered will decrease.
|
•
|
When we enter into contracts to provide services to our customers, we often charge installation or other upfront fees. Under previous accounting standards, installation fees related to services provided over our fixed networks were recognized as revenue during the period in which the installation occurred to the extent those fees were equal to or less than direct selling costs. Under ASU 2014-09, these fees are generally deferred and recognized as revenue over the contractual period for those contracts with substantive termination penalties, or for the period of time the upfront fees convey a material right for month-to-month contracts and contracts that do not include substantive termination penalties.

Our current derivative assets, current derivative liabilities, long-term derivative assets and long-term derivative liabilities are included in other current assets, other accrued and current liabilities, other assets, net, and other long-term liabilities, respectively, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
|
(b)
|
We consider credit risk relating to our and our counterparties’ nonperformance in the fair value assessment of our derivative instruments. In all cases, the adjustments take into account offsetting liability or asset positions within each of our primary borrowing groups (see note 8). The changes in the credit risk valuation adjustments associated with our cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts resulted in net gains (losses) of ($9 million) and ($2 million) during the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and ($21 million) and $5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. These amounts are included in realized and unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For further information regarding our fair value measurements, see note 6.

(a)
|
Represents the weighted average interest rate in effect at June 30, 2018 for all borrowings outstanding pursuant to each debt instrument, including any applicable margin. The interest rates presented represent stated rates and do not include the impact of derivative instruments, deferred financing costs, original issue premiums or discounts and commitment fees, all of which affect our overall cost of borrowing. Including the effects of derivative instruments, original issue premiums or discounts and commitment fees, but excluding the impact of financing costs, the weighted average interest rate on our indebtedness was 6.3% at June 30, 2018. For information regarding our derivative instruments, see note 5.
|
(b)
|
Unused borrowing capacity represents the maximum availability under the applicable facility at June 30, 2018 without regard to covenant compliance calculations or other conditions precedent to borrowing. At June 30, 2018, the full amount of unused borrowing capacity was available to be borrowed under each of the respective subsidiary facilities, both before and after consideration of the completion of the June 30, 2018 compliance reporting requirements, which include leverage-based payment tests and leverage covenants. At June 30, 2018, there were no restrictions on the respective subsidiary’s ability to make loans or distributions from this availability to Liberty Latin America or its subsidiaries or other equity holders.
|
(c)
|
The estimated fair values of our debt instruments are determined using the average of applicable bid and ask prices (mostly Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy) or, when quoted market prices are unavailable or not considered indicative of fair value, discounted cash flow models (mostly Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The discount rates used in the cash flow models are based on the market interest rates and estimated credit spreads of the applicable entity, to the extent available, and other relevant factors. For additional information regarding fair value hierarchies, see note 6.
|
(d)
|
The VTR Credit Facilities comprise certain CLP and U.S. dollar term loans and revolving credit facilities, each as defined and described below, including unused borrowing capacity.
|
(e)
|
Represents amounts owed pursuant to interest-bearing vendor financing arrangements that are used to finance certain of our property and equipment additions and, to a lesser extent, certain of our operating expenses. These obligations are generally due within one year and include value-added taxes (VAT) that were paid on our behalf by the vendor. Our operating expenses include $95 million and $47 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, that were financed by an intermediary and are reflected as a hypothetical cash outflow within net cash provided by operating activities and a hypothetical cash inflow within net cash provided by financing activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Repayments of vendor financing obligations are included in repayments of debt and capital lease obligations in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

(a)
|
The increases are primarily attributable to higher broadband internet RGUs.
|
(b)
|
The decreases are attributable to the net effect of (i) lower ARPU from fixed-line telephony and broadband internet services, (ii) higher ARPU from video services and (iii) improvements in RGU mix.
|
(c)
|
The decrease during the three-month comparison is due to individually insignificant changes across the markets of C&W. The decrease during the six-month comparison is mostly due to (i) lower revenue in Panama due primarily to (a) a decrease in interconnect revenue mainly due to lower fixed-line telephony termination volumes and (b) less pay phone revenue, (ii) lower advertising revenue and late fees in the Bahamas and (iii) individually insignificant changes across the other C&W markets.
|
(d)
|
The decreases in mobile subscription revenue are primarily attributable to lower average subscribers in the Bahamas and Panama. The changes in mobile non-subscription revenue are primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) increases in revenue from handset sales in Panama and (ii) decreases in revenue from handset sales in the Bahamas and Jamaica.
|
(e)
|
The increases are primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) increased project-related revenue in managed services, largely driven by Networks & LatAm and Jamaica, (ii) during the six-month comparison, decreased revenue from mobile data services in Panama, (iii) lower revenue from fixed-line telephony services in Barbados and (iv) individually insignificant changes across the other C&W markets.
|
(f)
|
The increases are primarily due to the net effect of (i) increased capacity sales on C&W’s sub-sea network to new and existing customers, (ii) a decrease of $5 million associated with sub-sea revenue recognized on a cash basis during the second quarter of 2017 related to services provided to a significant customer in prior quarters and (iii) increases from the adoption of ASU 2014-09, as further described in notes 2 and 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

(a)
|
The increases are attributable to the net effect of (i) higher broadband internet and video RGUs and (ii) lower fixed-line telephony RGUs.
|
(b)
|
The increases are primarily due to the net effect of (i) higher ARPU from video services, (ii) improvements in RGU mix and (iii) lower ARPU from fixed-line telephony services.
|
(c)
|
The increases in mobile subscription revenue are due to higher average numbers of mobile subscribers, which were partially offset by lower ARPU from mobile services.
|
(d)
|
The increases in subscription revenue are primarily attributable to higher average numbers of broadband internet, video and fixed-line telephony small or home office (SOHO) RGUs. Contributing to these increases was the conversion of certain residential subscribers to SOHO customers during the six-month and, to a lesser extent, the three-month comparisons.

(a)
|
The increase is attributable to increases in broadband internet, video and fixed-line telephony RGUs, primarily due to the reconnection of subscribers associated with the recovery in Puerto Rico following the hurricanes. For additional information regarding the reconnection of subscribers after the hurricanes, see the discussion under Overview above.
|
(b)
|
The decrease is primarily attributable to reconnecting lower ARPU customers during the second quarter of 2018.
|
(c)
|
The increase is primarily due to the results of hurricane recovery, displayed mostly as (i) increases in late fees, as Liberty Puerto Rico’s billing and collection processes continue to normalize, and (ii) higher advertising revenue.
|
(d)
|
The increase in subscription revenue is primarily attributable to increases in broadband internet, fixed-line telephony and video SOHO RGUs, primarily due to the reconnection of subscribers associated with the recovery in Puerto Rico following the hurricanes. The increase in non-subscription revenue is primarily attributable to higher revenue from broadband internet services, resulting from the completion of the restoration of fiber circuits to Liberty Puerto Rico’s B2B customers.

|
An increase (decrease) in bad debt and collection expenses of $1 million or 8.1% and ($6 million) or (21.3%), respectively. The decline during the six-month comparison is primarily due to (i) better than expected collections in 2018, including a $3 million recovery during the first quarter related to provisions established following the impacts of Hurricanes Irma and Maria, and (ii) a decrease resulting from provisions recorded during the first quarter of 2017 in connection with Hurricane Matthew;

Decreases in personnel costs of $4 million or 13.2% and $3 million or 4.9%, respectively, primarily due to lower staffing levels; and
|
•
|
An increase (decrease) in network-related expenses of $2 million or 7.0% and ($2 million) or (3.1%), respectively. The increase during the three-month comparison is primarily due to network restoration costs, including costs associated with (i) sub-sea fiber repairs, (ii) damages sustained from Hurricanes Irma and Maria and (iii) the impact of the reassessment of certain accruals during the second quarter of 2017. The decrease during the six-month comparison is largely due to the net effect of (i) network restoration costs incurred in the first quarter of 2017 associated with damages sustained from Hurricane Matthew, (ii) network restoration costs incurred in 2018, including costs associated with (a) sub-sea fiber repairs and (b) damages sustained from Hurricanes Irma and Maria and (iii) the impact of the reassessment of certain accruals during the second quarter of 2017.

The gains during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 are primarily attributable to (i) changes in interest rates and (ii) changes in FX rates, largely due to decreases in the value of the Chilean peso relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition, the gains during the 2018 periods include net losses of $9 million and $21 million, respectively, resulting from changes in our credit risk valuation adjustments. The loss during the three months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily attributable to losses resulting from changes in interest rates. The loss during the six months ended June 30, 2017 is primarily attributable to losses associated with (i) changes in interest rates and (ii) increases in the value of the Chilean peso relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition, the losses during the 2017 periods include net gains (losses) of ($2 million) and $5 million, respectively, resulting from changes in our credit risk valuation adjustments.

When we pay the financing intermediary, we record financing cash outflows in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. For purposes of our adjusted free cash flow definition, we add back the hypothetical operating cash outflow when these financed expenses are incurred and deduct the financing cash outflows when we pay the financing intermediary.

(a)
|
The commitments included in this table do not reflect any liabilities that are included in our June 30, 2018 condensed consolidated balance sheet other than debt and capital lease obligations. Our liability for uncertain tax positions in the various jurisdictions in which we operate ($304 million at June 30, 2018) has been excluded from the table as the amount and timing of any related payments are not subject to reasonable estimation.
|
(b)
|
Amounts are based on interest rates, interest payment dates, commitment fees and contractual maturities in effect as of June 30, 2018. These amounts are presented for illustrative purposes only and will likely differ from the actual cash payments required in future periods. In addition, the amounts presented do not include the impact of our derivative contracts.
