(a)
|
Represents non-cash transactions associated with operating leases entered into during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.
|
(b)
|
We use a credit-adjusted discount rate to measure our operating lease liabilities. We derive the discount rates associated with each of our borrowing groups starting with a risk free rate, generally the U.S. Treasury Bill rate. To determine credit risk, we create an industry benchmark credit default swap (CDS) curve from an observable high-yield debt index using comparable telecommunication companies as a proxy. We then determine the maximum curve shift against this CDS curve derived from our own tradable debt within each borrowing group, and make adjustments to correct for the collateralized interest rate spread by comparing unsecured debt to asset-backed securities (secured debt) trades, which is based on the spread between the BB- and B+ industrial curves. We determine the discount factor from this adjusted curve for each borrowing group.

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 10). The changes in the credit risk valuation adjustments associated with our cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts resulted in net gains (losses) of $1 million and ($1 million) during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $7 million and ($22 million) during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, 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 September 30, 2019 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, including the discount on the Convertible Notes associated with the Conversion Option, and commitment fees, but excluding the impact of financing costs, the weighted average interest rate on our indebtedness was 6.4% at September 30, 2019; excluding the discount on the Convertible Notes associated with the Conversion Option, the weighted average interest rate was 6.1%. For information regarding our derivative instruments, see note 5.
|
(b)
|
Unused borrowing capacity represents the maximum availability under the applicable facility at September 30, 2019 without regard to covenant compliance calculations or other conditions precedent to borrowing. At September 30, 2019, the full amount of unused borrowing capacity was available to be borrowed under each of the respective subsidiary facilities, both before and after completion of the September 30, 2019 compliance reporting requirements. At September 30, 2019, 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 interest rate reflects the stated rate of the Convertible Notes. The effective interest rate of the Convertible Notes is 6.7%, which considers the impact of the $78 million discount recorded during the second quarter of 2019 in connection with the Conversion Option, as further described below.
|
(e)
|
The VTR Credit Facilities comprise certain CLP term loans and U.S. dollar and CLP revolving credit facilities, including unused borrowing capacity. In March 2019, the commitment under the existing CLP revolving credit facility was increased to CLP 45 billion ($62 million).
|
(f)
|
The Cabletica Credit Facilities comprise certain Costa Rican colón (CRC) and U.S. dollar term loans and a U.S. dollar revolving credit facility.
|
(g)
|
Represents amounts owed pursuant to interest-bearing vendor financing arrangements that are used to finance certain of our operating expenses and property and equipment additions. 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 $93 million and $119 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, that were financed by an intermediary and are reflected on the borrowing date 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

during the five consecutive business day period immediately after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”), in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes for each trading day of that measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of our Class C common shares and the conversion rate on each such trading day;

(a)
|
The increases are primarily attributable to higher broadband internet and video RGUs.
|
(b)
|
The decreases are primarily due to the net effect of (i) lower ARPU from fixed-line telephony and video services and (ii) higher ARPU from broadband internet services.
|
(c)
|
The decreases are primarily attributable to lower interconnect revenue, mainly due to lower (i) volumes in various C&W markets, Panama and Barbados and (ii) fixed termination rates in various C&W markets.
|
(d)
|
The decreases are primarily attributable to (i) lower ARPU in Panama, other C&W markets and the Bahamas and (ii) lower average subscribers in Panama, the Bahamas and other C&W markets. In addition, the decreases in mobile service revenue in the Bahamas includes $2 million attributable to the impact of Hurricane Dorian.
|
(e)
|
The decreases are primarily attributable to (i) decreased volumes of handset sales, primarily in our Cayman Islands operations, the Bahamas and other C&W markets and (ii) lower interconnect revenue, primarily associated with (a) lower volumes at at Panama and various C&W markets and (b) reduced rates at various C&W markets.
|
(f)
|
The increases are primarily due to the net effect of (i) higher managed services revenue, largely driven by Jamaica, Networks & LatAm and Panama, (ii) increased interconnect revenue for the nine-month comparison, primarily associated with higher volumes in Jamaica and (iii) lower revenue from fixed-line telephony services, primarily in Panama and the Bahamas. The increases in B2B service revenue are partially offset by a $3 million decrease related to the impact of Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas. In addition, the three and nine-month comparisons also include an increase (decrease) of $2 million and ($3 million), respectively, associated with a change in the timing of revenue for directory services recognized within the year. The amounts also include decreases related to the transfer of certain B2B operations in Puerto Rico from our C&W segment to our Liberty Puerto Rico segment.

Decreases in programming and copyright costs of $6 million or 17.8% and $7 million or 6.5%, respectively, primarily due to the net effect of (i) lower content costs, including (a) lower sports content costs during the three-month comparison and (b) the beneficial impact of the reassessment of content accruals across several markets in the first half of 2019, and (ii) higher costs associated with an increase in subscribers during 2019;

|
•
|
Increases in programming and copyright costs of $1 million or 2.7% and $4 million or 3.0%, respectively.

|
Decreases in personnel costs of $1 million or 2.5% and $4 million or 2.2%, respectively, primarily due to lower staffing levels largely stemming from various restructuring activities, as further described below;
|
•
|
A decrease in marketing and advertising expenses of $3 million or 5.3% for the nine-month comparison, primarily due to timing of marketing campaigns; and
|
•
|
A decrease in insurance costs of $2 million for the three-month comparison, due in part to the impact of C&W’s Weather Derivative, as further described below and in note 5 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
|
•
|
Increases in professional services of $3 million or 58.4% and $6 million or 42.5%, respectively, primarily due to (i) increased information technology costs associated with the implementation of a business support system and (ii) higher professional consultancy services; and
|
•
|
For the nine-month comparison, an increase in sales, marketing and advertising expenses of $2 million or 3.9%, primarily due to the net effect of (i) higher sales commissions to third-party dealers, and (ii) lower costs associated with advertising campaigns.
|
•
|
Increases in information technology-related expenses of $1 million or 130.4% and $2 million or 76.2%, respectively, mostly driven by new software licenses; and
|
•
|
For the nine-month comparison, higher personnel costs of $2 million or 12.5%, largely driven by a $1 million hurricane disaster relief credit received during the third quarter of 2018 from the Puerto Rico treasury department, representing relief for wages paid to employees during the period of time our business was inoperable as a result of Hurricanes Irma and Maria.

(a)
|
The gains (losses) during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 are primarily attributable to (i) changes in interest rates and (ii) changes in FX rates, predominantly due to changes in the value of the Chilean peso relative to the U.S. dollar. In addition, the gains (losses) during the 2019 periods include net gains of $1 million and $7 million, respectively, and the gains during the 2018 periods include net losses of $1 million and $22 million, respectively, resulting from changes in our credit risk valuation adjustments.
|
(b)
|
The amounts for the 2019 periods include amortization of the premium associated with our Weather Derivatives, which we entered into during the second quarter of 2019.

For purposes of our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, expenses, including VAT, financed by an intermediary are treated as hypothetical operating cash outflows and hypothetical financing cash inflows when the expenses are incurred. 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 September 30, 2019 condensed consolidated balance sheet other than (i) debt and (ii) capital and operating lease obligations. Our liability for uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, in the various jurisdictions in which we operate ($80 million at September 30, 2019) has been excluded from the table as the amount and timing of any related payments are not subject to reasonable estimation. For additional information regarding our liability for uncertain tax positions, see note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
|
(b)
|
Amounts are based on interest rates, interest payment dates, commitment fees and contractual maturities in effect as of September 30, 2019. 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.
