(a)
|
The goodwill recognized in connection with the UTS Acquisition is primarily attributable to (i) the ability to take advantage of UTS’s existing broadband communications and mobile networks to gain immediate access to potential customers, and (ii) synergies that are expected to be achieved through the integration of UTS with C&W’s existing business in Curacao.
|
(b)
|
Amount represents the estimated aggregate fair value of the noncontrolling interest in UTS as of March 31, 2019.
|
(c)
|
Excludes $3 million of direct acquisition costs incurred during 2019 and 2018. Direct acquisition costs are included in impairment, restructuring and other operating items, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
|
(d)
|
Pursuant to the purchase agreement, which permits certain post-closing working capital adjustments, the UTS Acquisition purchase price was reduced by $6 million during the first quarter of 2020. This amount was recorded as a receivable in other current assets in our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 and was received subsequent to March 31, 2020.

Our current derivative assets, current derivative liabilities, long-term derivative assets and long-term derivative liabilities are included in other current assets, net, 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 9). The changes in the credit risk valuation adjustments associated with our cross-currency and interest rate derivative contracts resulted in net gains of $33 million and $2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The gain during the 2020 period is primarily due to increased credit risk stemming from market reaction to the COVID-19 outbreak. 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.

Fair Value Measurements
|
•
|
Customer relationships. The valuation of customer relationships is primarily based on an excess earnings methodology, which is a form of a discounted cash flow analysis. The excess earnings methodology for customer relationship intangible assets requires us to estimate the specific cash flows expected from the acquired customer relationships, considering such factors as estimated customer life, the revenue expected to be generated over the life of the customer relationships, contributory asset charges and other factors.
|
•
|
Property and equipment. Property and equipment is typically valued using a replacement or reproduction cost approach, considering factors such as current prices of the same or similar equipment, the age of the equipment and economic obsolescence.

(a)
|
Represents the weighted average interest rate in effect at March 31, 2020 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.
|
(b)
|
Unused borrowing capacity represents the maximum availability under the applicable facility at March 31, 2020 without regard to covenant compliance calculations or other conditions precedent to borrowing. At March 31, 2020, 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 March 31, 2020 compliance reporting requirements. At March 31, 2020, there were no restrictions
|
(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 a discount recorded in connection with the value ascribed to the instrument’s conversion option.
|
(e)
|
The VTR Credit Facilities comprise certain CLP term loans and U.S. dollar and CLP revolving credit facilities, including unused borrowing capacity.
|
(f)
|
The Cabletica Credit Facilities comprise certain Costa Rican colón 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 $33 million and $31 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 cash flows. Repayments of vendor financing obligations are included in payments of principal amounts of debt and finance lease obligations in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

(a)

The increase is primarily attributable to higher broadband internet, video and fixed-line telephony RGUs.
|
(b)
|
The decrease is primarily due to lower ARPU from video and fixed-line telephony services.
|
(c)
|
The decrease is primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) lower ARPU from mobile services and (ii) lower average mobile subscribers, primarily in Panama and the Bahamas, that was largely offset by higher average mobile subscribers in Jamaica. A portion of this net decrease includes the impact of COVID-19, which negatively impacted mobile subscription revenue during the period, primarily in Panama and the Bahamas.
|
(d)
|
The decrease is primarily attributable to lower interconnect revenue, primarily associated with lower volumes in Panama.
|
(e)
|
The increase is primarily due to the net effect of (i) higher revenue from data and managed services, primarily in Networks & LatAm, Jamaica, and Panama (ii) lower fixed-line telephony services, primarily in Jamaica and Panama and (iii) increased interconnect revenue, primarily in Jamaica.
|
(f)
|
The increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $8 million associated with revenue recognized on a cash basis for services provided to a significant customer.

|
The gain during the three months ended March 31, 2020 is primarily attributable to the net effect of (i) changes in FX rates, predominantly due to changes in the value of the Chilean peso relative to the U.S. dollar and (ii) changes in interest rates. In addition, the gain during the 2020 period includes a net gain of $33 million resulting from changes in our credit risk valuation adjustments, which is primarily due to increased credit risk stemming from market reaction to the COVID-19 outbreak. The loss during the three months ended March 31, 2019 is 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 loss during the 2019 period includes a net gain of $2 million resulting from changes in our credit risk valuation adjustments.
|
(b)
|
The amount for the 2020 period includes $2 million of amortization of the premiums 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 consolidated statements of cash flows. For purposes of our adjusted free cash flow definition, we add back the hypothetical operating cash outflows 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 March 31, 2020 condensed consolidated balance sheet other than (i) debt and (ii) finance and operating lease obligations. Our liability for uncertain tax positions, including accrued interest, in the various jurisdictions in which we operate ($76 million at March 31, 2020) 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 March 31, 2020. 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.

Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly report;
|
4.
|
The registrant's other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and we have:
|
a)
|
Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report is being prepared;
|
b)
|
Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
|

Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this quarterly report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report based on such evaluation; and
|
d)
|
Disclosed in this quarterly report any change in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal control over financial reporting; and
|
5.
|
The registrant's other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors and the audit committee of the registrant's board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
|
a)
|
All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and
|
b)
|
Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant's internal control over financial reporting.
